The book not only interprets key creation myths, but also elaborates on the connection between the myths and some of the core values and concepts in Chinese civilization. For example, the long and jade culture is rooted in the Yellow Emperors revered jade weapon. Further, the book reveals the kernels of truth in the myths by presenting new research findings and research methods. 000937499 588__ $$aDescription based on print version record. 000937499 650_0 $$aCreation$$xMythology$$zChina. 000937499 650_0 $$aEthnology. 000937499 650_0 $$aOriental literature. 000937499 651_0 $$aChina$$xHistory. 000937499 7001_ $$aYe, Shuxian,$$d1954- 000937499 7001_ $$aQian, Hang. 000937499 77608 $$iPrint version:$$aTian, Zhaoyuan$$tMyths of the Creation of Chinese$$dSingapore : Springer Singapore Pte.
