Ancient legends from different parts of China, illustrated in the tradition of ancient Chinese painting by the famous artist Li Weiding. A unique painting technique using unusual materials, softened tones, voluminous flowing silhouettes create truly soothing images.Chinese myths combine the refined characters of people and the wild customs of monsters, childish naivety and thousand-year-old wisdom, and also reveal familiar plots in a different reading, perhaps the most ancient of the existing ones. How did the Chinese Cinderella find her happiness? Who's scarier than a wolf in sheep's clothing? Myths introduce us to Chinese national holidays and Chinese symbols that are popular today. Why are fireworks lit on New Year's Eve and why are Chinese lanterns red? What happens if you draw eyes on a dragon? Myths are presented in easy accessible language. The stories are small in size and suitable for reading at night. Ideal for the first acquaintance with the culture of China, its ancient history and folk mentality.
