Heaven Earth Sun Moon -- Chinese Natural Myth -- Creation Mankind and World -- Chinese Creation Myth -- Dragons Flying and Phoenixes Dancing -- Chinese Totem Myth -- Ancestors Huangdi and Yandi -- Chinese Ancestor Myth -- Holiness Yao and Shun -- Chinese Sage Myth -- Gun's and Yu's Regulating Waters -- Chinese Flood Myth.

Drawing on the sun, moon, dragon, phoenix, Nuwa, Yandi, Huangdi and other widely circulated cultural elements as examples, this book addresses the development and evolution of the most representative Chinese creation myths regarding nature, totems, ancestors and saints. The book not only interprets key creation myths, but also elaborates on the connection between the myths and some of the core values and concepts in Chinese civilization. For example, the long and jade culture is rooted in the Yellow Emperor's revered jade weapon. Further, the book reveals the kernels of truth in the myths by presenting new research findings and research methods.
