Professor Tao Tao Liu talks about the key plots and heroes of the myths of Ancient China. Majestic dragons, divine emperors, spirits of mountains, rivers and seas More than two thousand years ago, the Chinese told stories comparable in complexity to the myths of Ancient Greece, but completely different from them. Intertwined with other religions and teachings - Taoism, Confucianism, Buddhism - ancient Chinese myths changed and acquired new motifs and plots. Despite all the changes, these legends never died and continue to amaze to this day. Liu explores the roots of these legends, popularized in the classic works of the Han and Ming dynasties, and reveals a complex tradition passed down from generation to generation for thousands of years.
