Like other mythologies worldwide, China?s creation and origin myths explain how man created order out of chaos and imposed culture on nature. Cross-cultural approaches to myth make us aware of the limitations of our own familiar classifications. This book makes a provocative case for the comparative study of the hidden treasures of China?s oral and written myth traditions in different languages and cultures, a legacy generously left behind by singers, storytellers, poets, and writers. This book opens new doors to the study of Chinese mythologies, a surprising and so far almost unknown world outside China. 410 0$aReligion in Chinese societies ;$vv. 2. 606 $aCreation$xMythology$zChina 606 $aMythology, Chinese 615 0$aCreation$xMythology 615 0$aMythology, Chinese. 676 $a202/.40951 701 $aSchipper$b Mineke$0657183 701 $aYe$b Shuxian$f1954-$0705592 701 $aYin$b Hubin$01682662 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910826720403321 996 $aChina's creation and origin myths$94052942 997 $aUNINA
