http://china.9c9c.com/Life/myths_stories/topic_1190.html

Extractions: 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.

http://www.livingmyths.com/Chinese.htm

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. 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 a number of 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. 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.

Chinese Mythology - Chinese New Year
Chinese New Year. Traditionally February. Chinese New Year is celebratedmost spectacularly by those Chinese people who live outside China.
http://www4.district125.k12.il.us/faculty/sedstrom/vc97/CHINA/NEWYEAR/INDEX.HTM

Extractions: T raditionally, the Chinese have used a lunar calendar, and because of this, their New Year does not start on 1 January. The ancient Chinese fixed the date of their New Year according to the position of the sun. The first day of the traditional Chinese year varies from year to year and occurs sometime between 21 January and 20 February. C hinese New Year is celebrated most spectacularly by those Chinese people who live outside China. Some of the largest and best-known celebrations take place in Hong Kong, the USA and Britain. For people in these countries, Chinese New Year is both a family event and a public celebration. O ne week before the New Year begins, the family gathers for a ceremony in honor of the god of the kitchen, zhou-san. This god is believed to journey to the Emperor of Heaven and report on the family's thoughts and actions over the past year. A picture of zhou-san is burnt. This allows the god to leave the house, but first, the lips are smeared with honey so that only good things about the family will be told. Some families keep statues of the god, whose lips may also be smeared with honey. O n the evening before New Year, the kitchen-god is welcomed back into the home with a feast and fireworks. At New Year people eat only vegetarian meals. This is because each year is named after an animal. One special food is Jiaozi, damplings made with sweetened flour which have honey, gifts, or messages of good luck inside. Some of the food is set out for the spirits of dead ancestors to eat, so that they too will have a happy New Year. Children are given gifts of money, and people try to pay back any debts before the new year starts.

Chinese Mythology: An Introduction (Select Books)
all Categories, Culture People Culture, Customs, People chinese mythologyAn Introduction by Birrell, Anne. Price US$29.67 (S$51.92*)
http://www.selectbooks.com.sg/titles/29898.htm

Extractions: The author provides English translations of some 300 representative myth narratives selected from over 100 classical texts, many of which have never before been translated into any Western language. Organizing the narratives according to themes and motifs common to world mythology, Birrell addresses issues of source, dating, attribution, textural variants, multiforms, and context. Drawing on exhaustive work in comparative mythology, she surveys the development of Chinese myth studies, summarizes the contribution of Chinese and Japanese scholars to the study of Chinese myth since the 1920s, and examines special aspects of traditional approaches to Chinese myth. The result is an unprecedented guide to the study of Chinese myth for specialists and nonspecialists alike. Anne Birrell has taught Chinese literature at the City University of New York and the University of Cambridge. * Actual charges are made in Singapore Dollars (S$). S$1.00 = US$0.57
