Chinese GB Chinese Big5 History of Chinese Mythology Features of Chinese Mythology Style and Art of Writing History of Chinese Mythology The writing of such stories began in the Wei and Jin Dynasties (220-420), when various writers, influenced by the alchemist's ideas and Taoist and Buddhist superstitions, were interested in inventing stories about gods and ghosts. Some of them show their unusual imagination and mastery of the written language. This practice was continued in the next period, the period of Southern and Northern Dynasties. But the dawn of fiction, in the true sense of the term, came much later, in the middle of the Tang Dynasty, when many well-known writers and poets went in for story-writing. Their stories have a wide range of subject matter and themes, reflecting various aspects of human nature, human relations and social life. In form they are not short notes or anecdotes like the tales produced before them, but well-structured stories with interesting plots and vivid characters, often several thousand words in length. Among them are many tales whose main characters are gods, ghosts, or foxes. Mythical stories of the Song Dynasty show strong influence of Tang fiction, but hardly attain the Tang level. One achievement in the field of fiction worthy of special mention is the compilation of the great Taiping Guangji or Extensive Records Compiled in the Taiping Years (976-983), which is a collection of about seven thousand stories published before and in the first years of the Song Dynasty. The stories were selected from over three hundred books, many of which have long been lost to us. A large portion of the seven thousand stories are about gods, deities, fairies, and ghosts.

Haw Par Villa Land of Ancient Chinese Mythology Just a 20 minute ride from the bustling crowds of Orchard Road, you will lunge into the grounds of Haw Par Villa. Established in 1937 as one of the 3 private residences of the Aw brothers and taking 2 years to build the original site, this historic landmark is now one of the most scenic sites in Singapore. The Aw brothers, Aw Boon Haw (Tiger) and Aw Boon Par (Leopard) became famous and world famous, for their ointment called Tiger Balm (this balm is NOT made of tigers...I should know. They still make it in Singapore and we SURE don't have tigers here) Being so rich, they originally built seven pagoda-like structures on the grounds and was originally called Tiger Balm Gardens. The grounds were furnished with statues depicting ancient mythological creatures and stories from Ancient China, many of which still stand on the now named, Haw Par Villa. However, a lot has changed since the days of the Aw brothers. Previously, The Tiger Balm Gardens was opened to the public for free and many families took their picnics there. Many snake-charmers were found along the road up the small hill to the gardens, playing their flutes to draw their cobras (yes, COBRAS!!!) from their cane baskets. Since the turn of the economic recession in 1985, the gardens grounds were reclaimed and are now opened to the public for a hefty fee. Snake charmers no longer line the small road and the grounds now have attendents and guards.

The Unit on Chinese Mythology R ational and G oals: This unit may be taught as a part of Humanities or Global Studies courses in high school. It is based on one of the ancient examples of Chinese mythology - the story which is called "Monkey Sprit". Chinese mythology is very complex and it would take many pages to explain all the characters and stories. However, knowledge of some of the mythology will make the images in Chinese art more understandable. The concept of Yin and Yang, and "the Monkey Spirit" will help people to begin to understand the significance of mythology in Chinese culture. The goals are to introduce students to Chinese culture by means of reading and analysing one of Chinese folktales "Monkey Spirit". It will help students to acquire a new perspective on Chinese culture and to acquaint them with the specific nature of Chinese people's beliefs and values, history, art, crafts and medicine. Students will be improving their reading strategies and cognitive skills of classification, comparison and justification while learning with this text. They will also be developing their research skills. Students will perform an individual writing project based on what they have learned about the culture of China.
