| | Chinese mythology - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Chinese Mythology is a collection of cultural history, folktales, and religions that may be passed down orally or written. | | | Historians have conjectured that the Chinese mythology began in 12th century B.C. (close to the time of the Trojan War in Greek Mythology). | | | In Handbook of Chinese Mythology, one of the books commonly referred to is Shan Hai Jing, which to some people is an early encyclopedia of China. |

| | Chinese Mythology, traditional beliefs of the Chinese people on their origins and on the nature of the universe. | | | The development of a religious strain of Daoism in the Han, and the introduction of Buddhism from India during the late Han onward, gave a new impetus to Chinese mythology. | | | Hence, Guan Yin was originally a Chinese princess of the early 7th century bc, famous for her compassion, before she was taken over and transformed into Avalokitesvara, the Buddhist Goddess of Mercy. |

| | The Chinese conception of sexuality is influenced by its aboriginal religions, especially Taoism and Confucianism. | | | Such views were mainly influenced by ancient religions, including the worship of animals and nature, Buddhism, Taoism, and, to a certain degree, Confucianism. | | | Contrary to the popular belief that the Chinese are ascetic and conservative sexually, the people of ancient China were fond of making love. |

| | This is by no means a survey of the extant Chinese mythology, nor even a readable book. | | | It concerns itself exclusively with the earliest strata of Chinese myth, which are preserved in verey fragmentary form in later sources. | | | The book is valuable as a reference work for those concerned with this early and almost entirely lost layer of Chinese literature, but the interest for the non-specialist in this byway of archaic Chinese religion and lit is hard to fathom. |

| | The Gods of China - A Look at Chinese Mythology |
| | The Chinese would much rather worship a god who can bring them happiness, long life, or prosperity, so there are no temples erected to the god of Thunder. | | | Rather, I thought with my appreciation of Taoism and Buddhism, Chinese mythology would be equally illuminating. | | | The Eastern world is full of paradox, and, perhaps, the greatest paradox in China is that it has been so profoundly influenced by the world’s three most humane religions, Taoism, Confucianism and Buddhism, yet remains under the inhumane rule of Communism. |
