     Extractions: Chinese mythology is as varied and multi-levelled as the country from which it springs. China contains many different cultural groupings, who speak a number of different languages. However, it has had a literate cultural élite for thousands of years, and myths which were originally regional have spread by means of a pictographic script which transcended language barriers. Their evolution has not been entirely oral. Much Chinese mythology is based on animism, which sees the land itself as alive. It contains many therianthropic creatures, who are both animal and human, and demonstrates the playfulness of the gods. Chinese mythology has been influenced by a fear of outsiders. It has also been shaped, sometimes deliberately, by religious faiths and philosophies. Some myths even demonstrate the conflict between them, as in the story of the Monkey King, which reflects the conflict between Taoists and Buddhists. Taoism A central quest within Taoist practices is the search for immortality - literal, physical immortality. The sense of an interplay between natural law and the abstract laws prevailing in the cosmos, is held in common by shamanism and Taoism. Taoism searched for balance within these forces and enshrined the concept that change cannot be forced, only experienced and assimilated.

     Extractions: Back Mythology Home Foward Back Back Mythology Home Foward One of the myths and legends about dragons they blow fire and that it represents the Chinese culture. The only problem is that some of the people have not talked about some of the other dragons that they have believed to exist. The dragon for both Chinese and Japanese cultures symbolizes power and excellence. In the early days of the dynasty’s some of the dynasty’s worshiped the dragon as their lord and some actually even asked them for help and guidance. The first and 15th of every month they use to perform rituals to worship the dragons. In Japanese Folklore there are nine types of dragons and in Chinese Folklore there are only three. In some legends they say that most of the dragons in stories evolved from fish, they as they grew they showed their strength and people started to respect them. The nine dragons on the Japanese culture are mostly related to the elements of the earth. The fire dragon is the most talked about and the most popular. The fire dragon is known to be in legends the most competitive and expects a lot from people. One of the other traits of the fire dragon is that it is very ambitious and very short-tempered, as everyone already knows. The fire dragon has to have a master in order to learn how to communicate without force. Another one of the dragons, which is one of the elements, is the water dragon. The water dragon is one of the quieter one’s besides the fire dragon. Some of the characteristics of this dragon is that is has a more positive attitude on things and also it has a more positive approach and also is less selfish and less power hungry than most dragons are. That is why that this dragon is on the most worshiped next to the fire dragon. Dragons are on of the most talked about myths in Japanese and also Chinese Culture and the world. An actual dragon or dragons bones have never been found, if they have existed, that is why a lot of people wonder why there is so much talk about dragons. The purpose of the dragon was meant to be for spiritual beliefs and just to make up stories and legends. Back Mythology Home Foward Chinese Tiger Myths ... Home

     Extractions: Home China Briefing China Travel China Market ... Martial Arts Search our site: You are here: China Window Home China Culture Literature History of Chinese Mythology The writing of such stories began in the Wei and Jin Dynasties (220-420), when various writers, influenced by the alchemist's ideas and Taoist and Buddhist superstitions, were interested in inventing stories about gods and ghosts. Some of them show their unusual imagination and mastery of the written language. This practice was continued in the next period, the period of Southern and Northern Dynasties. But the dawn of fiction, in the true sense of the term, came much later, in the middle of the Tang Dynasty, when many well-known writers and poets went in for story-writing. Their stories have a wide range of subject matter and themes, reflecting various aspects of human nature, human relations and social life. In form they are not short notes or anecdotes like the tales produced before them, but well-structured stories with interesting plots and vivid characters, often several thousand words in length. Among them are many tales whose main characters are gods, ghosts, or foxes. Mythical stories of the Song Dynasty show strong influence of Tang fiction, but hardly attain the Tang level. One achievement in the field of fiction worthy of special mention is the compilation of the great Taiping Guangji or Extensive Records Compiled in the Taiping Years (976-983), which is a collection of about seven thousand stories published before and in the first years of the Song Dynasty. The stories were selected from over three hundred books, many of which have long been lost to us. A large portion of the seven thousand stories are about gods, deities, fairies, and ghosts.

Burruss, Susan Langhorne, "Foreign Influences on Chinese Mystical Horse Imagery." Masters Thesis (M.A.), Virginia Commonwealth University. 1999. Abstract: Representations of the horse developed parallel to significant cultural elements at the dawn of China's vast history. As early as the Shang Dynasty (1766-1045 BC) images of the horse appeared on oracle bones. After its first appearance on oracle bones the horse remained highly significant and mystical representations of the horse continue to be a feature in Chinese art into the late twentieth century. This study will focus specifically on representations of the horse as a mystical creature in Chinese art, as distinct from general equine imagery. Mystical equine imagery can possess characteristics associated with other animal species or mythological beings. I will establish the impact of foreign cultures on the Chinese perception of the horse as mystical. Outside elements include aspects of religion, mythology, legends, ritual, and folklore. It will be seen that these elements, combined with the indigenous mystical beliefs in China, were influential in Chinese representations of the horse as a mystical creature.

     Extractions: From a distance, a sparkling sash of diamonds seems to adorn its midriff, tempting those who would approach. On closer inspection, the sparkles are not diamonds, but something else equally alluring and far more dangerous. The secret of the ringed planet's magnificent belt, as conceived by master science fiction novelist Ben Bova, awaits readers of his newest work, Saturn (Tor, $24.95, 384 pages). The setting of the latest installment in Mr. Bova's solar system-spanning "Grand Tour" series is familiar to fans who will recall themes from his earlier works: Life on Earth in the near-future has taken a turn for the worse. Massive coastal flooding triggered by global warming has destabilized world order. A yearning for safety has spawned the emergence of a repressive religious organization called the New Morality, which rules the entire planet with an iron grip. The Holy Disciples, members of a fundamentalist splinter group, have funded the construction of a space colony to carry explorers to Saturn in order to begin a new, ostensibly freer, society. The Goddard, a huge spinning cylinder, sets out on a three-year journey to the ringed planet with some 10,000 pioneers, among them scientists, adventure seekers, dissidents, and others with a secret agenda.

     Extractions: Myth, always tempting as a subject of study, remains controversial. Many definitions have been suggested and rejected. The second volume of the World of Myth is indicative of the widespread interest in comparative mythology. Co-published by the British Museum and the University of Texas Press, it consists of five contributions, each about 80 pages in length, from a series entitled "The Legendary Past". The first volume, edited in 2003 and introduced by Marina Warner, comprised Greek, Roman, Norse, Egyptian and Celtic Myths. The present volume includes Mesopotamian, Persian, Chinese, Aztec, Maya and Inca Myths. Lord of the Rings serving as an indicative example. Among the suggestions for further reading one would have expected more books on diverse theories concerning the interpretation of myth. The volume concludes with a detailed glossary compiled by R. Kerven, as well as an index.
