China is an unconditional socio-political and cultural phenomenon of human history. There is no other civilization that would be as resistant to all the crises that shook it and would emerge from them, in the words of a modern Chinese poet, “renewed, but the same.” Loyalty to tradition is manifested in everything in China, including mythology, which in many ways still determines the Chinese view of the world. Chinese mythology allows a person to return again and again to the origins of humanity in himself, because it is focused on the “technique of the heart.” And this is the secret of her amazing longevity.
