    About this audiobook

    Some of us may be familiar with Chinese mythology, and to others, it’s a complete mystery. The Chinese had a lot of gods and goddesses, and in this ancient, historical country, with all the empires and dynasties, a plethora of legends and stories developed. Listen to Chinese mythology and learn about subtopics such as:  

    • The meaning of the Chinese Moon Festival and its background. 
    • Lu Xun’s China and a historical overview. 
    • Wu Gang, Tang Emperor Xuan Zong, and Lady Chang Er. 
    • The significance of Moon cakes and the traditional foods during the festival. 
    • Chinese dynasties, and the main gods and goddesses in Chinese Mythology.   

    If we desire to understand more about the ancient Orient, then it’s time to listen to an audiobook and start studying, so we can go back to where all the traditions and background started.

      If I would need to outline it, it will be in 1 word: Wonderful! I don't always enjoy any audiobooks, but this one stuck out. And since it did, I started paying attention to it. It was some of the best time I spent, especially since I was doing other tasks in the meantime.

      There are a lot of things I liked about this, but I can only write so much. I don't think the word "remarkable" does this particular book justice. There has to be a better word, and I will keep searching, because it deserves something great to be said about it. Not only did this particular book sound like it was high quality, but it also showed me crucial things about life, and about this theme in particular, obviously. So, it definitely deserves a couple of hard-earned stars.

      Mind-blowing! Have you ever before tuned in to a book such as this? Without a doubt, one of the greatest books in this niche. At first, I was wondering where it was going, but after tuning in to it for a while, I got into it. Then I saw this book for what it really was: A great undertaking by an educated author and expert narrator.
