Publisher's summary

Count yourself lucky (in a Chinese kind of way), because you just bumped into a book of three documents that have been combined to give you the greatest value for your money. These are:

Book 1: The sociology and mythology of the Chinese culture has a long, extended history, and the creatures and superpowers in them have often been neglected by western culture.

But not for long!

As you listen through this gem of a book, you will find all kinds of answers to questions related to Chinese mythology, such as:

  • What role do Confucianism and Buddhism play in their religion?
  • What kinds of gods and goddesses were there?
  • Did the Chinese really believe in spirits?
  • What is Taoism and how does it relate to any of these things?
  • What were the conditions in society at the time of the myths?
  • What were their perceptions and beliefs about the five elements they came up with?

Book 2: In this epic collection of Chinese myths and folklore, you'll listen about dragon and dragon kings, love, lust, superpowers, mercy, vengeance, hell, paradise, gods, goddesses, and the elements. You'll go on a journey to the east, where the oriental culture was polytheistic and perhaps a little superstitious at the same time. You will listen about the amazing stories people came up with or the fables that were based on personal experiences or encounters with those beyond the physical realm.

Book 3: Many people think of the Greek or the Romans when they think of mythology, but the Chinese have an extensive history of myths and mysterious beliefs in the supernatural. In this guide, you will become acquainted with the most common stories and gods from the orient. Stories and legends such as the eight immortals, the war between the gods, the famous story of the monkey king, the alchemist, the Yen Ch’ eng god, and so many others will blow you away.
