Many deities, stories, places, and ideas populate Chinese mythology, and Chinese Mythology A to Z offers a readable introduction to these and other related topics. Covering everything from the Blue Dragon, bridge gods, and Buddha to carp, Chang Hsien, and Confucius, Chinese Mythology A to Z provides rare insight into the myths of the Chinese peoples, in a format that is easy to use and delightful to read.
