Chinese Tales. Origin of major holidays
19.99 €
What are fairy tales about? About the bravery of heroes, the cunning of villains and bloodthirsty monsters, the great power of love and, of course, the victory of good over evil. And fairy tales can also tell us about where and why certain folk beliefs, customs and traditions originated. This book contains legends about the origin of major Chinese holidays. How are Chinese New Year and the terrible monster Niang connected? How was the Lantern Festival born? Why is it customary to fly kites on the Day of the Dead? And, of course, as in all fairy tales, there will be room for battles, cunning, loyalty and love. Chinese fairy tales are supplemented with scientific commentary by sinologist Sergey Dmitriev and a separate chapter with recipes and master classes.
