This book was released on 2013-05-22 with total page 26 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "But, most exalted father," faltered the princess, "I am not ready to be married." "Not ready, child! Why, are you not eighteen? Are not the daughters of our nation often wedded long before they reach that age? Because of your desire for learning I have spared you thus far from any thought of a husband, but now we can wait no longer." "Royal father, hear your child, and do not compel her to give up her dearest pleasures. Let her go into a quiet convent where she may lead a life of study!" The king sighed deeply at hearing these words. He loved his daughter and did not wish to wound her. "Kwan-yin," he continued, "do you wish to pass by the green spring of youth, to give up this mighty kingdom? Do you wish to enter the doors of a convent where women say farewell to life and all its pleasures? No! your father will not permit this. It grieves me sorely to disappoint you, but one month from this very day you shall be married. I have chosen for your royal partner a man of many noble parts. You know him by name already, although you have not seen him. Remember that, of the hundred virtues filial conduct is the chief, and that you owe more to me than to all else on earth."

Book Synopsis The Chinese Fairy Book by : Richard Wilhelm
Download or read book The Chinese Fairy Book written by Richard Wilhelm and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 1921 with total page 366 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The fairy tales and legends of olden China have in common with the "Thousand and One Nights" an oriental glow and glitter of precious stones and gold and multicolored silks, an oriental wealth of fantastic and supernatural action. And yet they strike an exotic note distinct in itself. The seventy-three stories here presented after original sources, embracing "Nursery Fairy Tales," "Legends of the Gods," "Tales of Saints and Magicians," "Nature and Animal Tales," "Ghost Stories," "Historic Fairy Tales," and "Literary Fairy Tales," probably represent the most comprehensive and varied collection of oriental fairy tales ever made available for American readers. There is no child who will not enjoy their novel color, their fantastic beauty, their infinite variety of subject. Yet, like the "Arabian Nights," they will amply repay the attention of the older reader as well. Some are exquisitely poetic, such as "The Flower-Elves," "The Lady of the Moon" or "The Herd Boy and the Weaving Maiden"; others like "How Three Heroes Came By Their Deaths Because Of Two Peaches," carry us back dramatically and powerfully to the Chinese age of Chivalry. The summits of fantasy are scaled in the quasi-religious dramas of "The Ape Sun Wu Kung" and "Notscha," or the weird sorceries unfolded in "The Kindly Magician." Delightful ghost stories, with happy endings, such as "A Night on the Battlefield" and "The Ghost Who Was Foiled," are paralleled with such idyllic love-tales as that of "Rose of Evening," or such Lilliputian fancies as "The King of the Ants" and "The Little Hunting Dog." It is quite safe to say that these Chinese fairy tales will give equal pleasure to the old as well as the young. They have been retold simply, with no changes in style or expression beyond such details of presentation which differences between oriental and occidental viewpoints at times compel. It is the writer's hope that others may take as much pleasure in reading them as he did in their translation.

This book was released on 2017-08-17 with total page 468 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The fairy tales and legends of olden China are as ancient as the land itself. They have an oriental glow which can only be found in the orient. They glitter like precious stones, shine like gold and shimmer like multicoloured silks fluttering in the breeze. They contain oriental wealth of fantastic and supernatural action, not too dissimilar to the tales in the “Thousand and One Nights”. The 73 stories herein embrace “Nursery Fairy Tales,” “Legends of the Gods,” “Tales of Saints and Magicians,” “Nature and Animal Tales,” “Ghost Stories,” “Historic Fairy Tales,” and “Literary Fairy Tales”. Like the “Arabian Nights,” they will fascinate the young reader and amply repay the attention of the older generations as well. Some are exquisitely poetic, such as “The Flower-Elves,” “The Lady of the Moon” or “The Herd Boy and the Weaving Maiden”; others like “How Three Heroes Came By Their Deaths Because Of Two Peaches,” carry us back dramatically and powerfully to the Chinese age of Chivalry.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: HEREIN are 15 Chinese Wonder Tales from the ancient land that tall ship sailors used to romantically call "Old Cathay." And well deserved these romantic allusions were, for ancient Cathay is a magnificient empire divided by the great Yangtze river and covered by a plethora of diverse and ancient cultures. In this volume you will find the tale of THE GREAT BELL - the story of emperor Yung-lo, who in 1368AD, seeking a new challenge summons Kwan-yu, the master forger, to cast a bell that will resonate with the sweetest sound ever heard. Twice he fails to get the metals to blend. His daughter, Ko-ai, learns that only the blood of the purest maiden will blend the metals and sacrifices herself leaving behind only a slipper thus saving her father's reputation and his life. Her sacrifice resulted in the successful casting of Great Bell of Beijing. The bell is still rung to this day and it is said if you listen carefully you can still hear Ko-ai calling for her slipper. You will also find stories like THE STRANGE TALE OF DOCTOR DOG - who cures the beautiful Honeysuckle of a life threatening illness and they become lifelong friends. When Honeysuckle is of age he whisks her off to his palace in the mountains and reveals himself to her as a man. They marry and have equally beautiful children and their union gives birth to the Yus race of people. You will also find equally ancient stories like HOW FOOTBINDING STARTED, THE TALKING FISH, BAMBOO AND THE TURTLE, THE NODDING TIGER, THE PRINCESS KWAN-YIN and many more. So settle into a comfortable chair and sit back to enjoy folk tales and legends that are as old as China itself.

With the help of her little sister Ling, Miao Shan escapes and begins her journey to discover the true meaning of compassion. During their adventure, Ling and Miao Shan are eventually separated.

Over and over he had threatened to drown them one and all, and had been prevented from doing so only by fear of the new mandarin. His wife did not try to stop her husband when he sometimes beat the children until they fell half dead upon the deck. In fact, she herself was cruel to them, and often gave the last blow to Lu-san, her only daughter.
