Handbook of Chinese Mythology
by
Lihui Yang
Every year, at the Wa Huang Gong temple in Hebei Province, China, people gather to worship the great mother, Nuwa, the oldest deity in Chinese myth, praising her for bringing them a happy life. It is a vivid demonstration of both the ancient reach and the continuing relevance of mythology in the lives of the Chinese people.

Great time reading the various myths and the diversity of culture that I never knew about China as a whole. It also has a study of the evolution over various periods of rulers and philosophies and the impact it had on suppression and revitalization of the creation stories of different regions. Fascinating.
