Book Synopsis China Tales and Stories by : Zhou Wenjing
Download or read book China Tales and Stories written by Zhou Wenjing and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2018-02 with total page 88 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: China Tales and Stories: HOU YI AND CHANG E (English Version) Hou Yi and Chang E is perhaps the most romantic tale in the entire Chinese literary tradition. The story reminds us that dedicated, heroic lives and beautiful, enduring love are not only compatible, but are always possible - quite often even going hand in hand... Hou Yi and Chang E is a tale from the Mead-Hill collection, China Tales and Stories. It follows the journey of a young man sent from Heaven to perform an important task on earth. Equally powerful and memorable are the relationship between the young man and his wife, how she helps him in critical ways with the task, and how the two move off into an adventuresome future together. An unlikely intervention destroys that future together, but not without launching something larger still in the universe: a special love and a special day and a special confection and a special way of celebrating love and familial and interpersonal intimacy, year after year. The story of Hou Yi and Chang E is so loved and so famous that not only is every Chinese person aware of it, but it has even grown to be swept up into the most romantic holiday of the year - the Mid-Autumn Festival. (This holiday celebrates an important point in the China calendar, roughly corresponding in time to the "harvest moon" in the West. For more about these ideas, please see Mead-Hill's, China Thinking - An Introduction.) Hou Yi and Chang E is available in multiple languages and Mead-Hill language combinations. http: //mead-hill.wixsite.com/mead-hill

Book excerpt: Mr. Fool Moves the Mountain is one of China's most widely known, highly regarded stories. It was a favorite of Chairman Mao's, and he often quoted from it. Mr. Fool Moves the Mountain is from the Mead-Hill collection, China Tales and Stories. It is a kind of moral tale telling a charming and timeless story of faith, optimism, determination, perseverance, and hard work. Mr. Fool reminds us of that universal premise: persistence overcomes adversity. At the same time, Mr. Fool Moves the Mountain has given rise to one of the most beloved characters in Chinese folk literature. So widely known is he, in fact, that nowadays simply describing someone as a “Mr. Fool” is to pay a highly intelligent - if complicated - compliment. Mr. Fool's tale has been told and retold so many times that he has become almost more famous than a hero - almost an archetype, in fact. In that way, Mr. Fool has even become part of China thinking itself. (For more about that idea, please see Mead-Hill's, China Thinking - An Introduction.) Mr. Fool Moves the Mountain is published in multiple Mead-Hill editions. Each edition is illustrated by a different artist. Each artist uses a different style of Chinese illustration. Each illustrated set can be collected; the collections can be put together to build a special library of China tales and stories. Mr. Fool Moves the Mountain is available in five different Mead-Hill versions: English, Chinese, German, and two different Bi-Lingual combinations. www.mead-hill.com
