Chinese Mythology
Q: I'm really interested in Chinese mythology but can't seem to find how mythology links with everyday life in China. Does anyone know how chinese mythology influences the values of everyday life in China? Any sites would be greatly appreciated too. Thanks
A: I would suggest that you acquire "Ancient Tales and Folklore of China" by Edward Werner and The Analects of Confucious. The comparison and contrast of the two still control much of Chinese life in the deep countryside.
I met a woman the other day who was getting a tattoo based on a chinese myth.

I'm wondering if anybody knows the myth or a place where I can read about
It is a matter of great pride to the city and the University of Cambridge that the most significant exhibition of ancient Chinese art to be held outside China since the visit of a selection of terracotta warriors to the British Museum in 2007-8 should be held here.  The Fitzwilliam Museum’s latest exhibition, “The Search For Immortality: Tomb Treasures of Han China” opened on 5thof May to much pomp and consists of 350 well-collated grave goods from several royal tombs of the Han dynasty dating to the 400 years spanning the year 0 AD.
In working your way through the exhibits one mirrors the path of moving through a Han tomb, moving closer to the king’s coffin and jade burial armour. The first room manages the incredible feat of striking the viewer with the splendour and exotic atmosphere of this tomb type, whilst presenting the complex geographical and political structure of ancient China. To condense the complexity down into this space yet retain the vital details and display it all was clearly quite a task.
