The Chinese myth- Nv Wa

 http://wenda.tianya.cn/wenda/thread?tid=1cfc8061e49a7c0e

 

I chose this story because this is one of the first myths I have ever learned . My mom used to read me the story and tell me about the history in chinese myth. This story represents the civilization of ancient China, which is originated from the Yellow River. It also shows a kind, faithful and selfless goddess who contributes all she has to make people's life better. It reflects the idea of right and wrong, good and evil of early minds and the consequences of one's mistakes.

I hope you will enjoy this story and get to know more about the ancient Chinese culture.
