SINOPSIS
Here is a delightful collection of the best loved folktales from China’s majority Han nationality and 12 minority nationalities, each of which possesses a noteworthy store of folk literature. The tales vary greatly in form and style. Some are humorous and satirical; others are lyrical and romantic; and all tales are rich in intriguing plots and lively characters. Though these stories contain many elements of fantasy, they are well grounded in reality and closely related to the lives and experiences of the common people. They are filled with imagination, adventure and romance of the people and vigorously express their ideas and emotions. Moreover, many examples of model conduct and thought can be found in these educational and entertaining tales.
Passed on by worth of mouth from generation to generation, they reflect the thoughts, feelings, values, experiences and aspirations of different people at different periods in history. That are the collective wealth and wisdom of the people. At the same time, each tale is an enchanting story in its own right and John Minford is to be commended on the sensitivity of his translation.
The 20 stories are illustrated with drawing by the renowned artist He Youzhi and several other Chinese artists.
The appendix provides valuable basic information concerning the 12 minority peoples whose stories are featured in this collection.
