The book you hold in your hands offers not only captivating and mysterious adventures but also the ancient essence of Eastern civilization. Within its pages, you will discover tales that stem from the three major beliefs of China: Taoism, Confucianism, and Buddhism. It was Taoist doctrine that gave rise to nearly all creation myths. Today, the Chinese people take pride in the achievements of their ancestors from distant eras. This culture values a dignified stance, contrasting sharply with the immediacy of Western societies, always reflecting on the wisdom of their deities, who do not mind waiting three thousand years for sacred fruits to blossom.
