Every civilization is built not only upon its history but also upon the stories it chooses to remember. Before history was carefully recorded in chronicles and carved into stone, tales were carried by the spoken word. Around evening fires, beneath the shade of ancient trees, inside bustling marketplaces, and within the quiet halls of temples, generations passed down stories that explained the mysteries of the world and gave meaning to everyday life. These stories became the heart of a people's identity, preserving their beliefs, values, fears, dreams, and understanding of the universe. Among the world's oldest and most enduring storytelling traditions, the folklore of China stands as one of the richest and most profound.
