According to the records found by the world’s great mythologists, such as the Shui Jing Zhu and the Shan Hai Jing, Chinese mythology has been developed since the 12th century B.C. However, the transmission of the stories was done orally for about 1000 years.
One of its most outstanding characteristics is the appearance of numerous magical creatures, among which dragons stand out. Birds, tigers and turtles also stand out.
Each species led a group of animals, according to the function they fulfilled. Likewise, there were also other types of characters such as giants and, of course, gods, among which Tam Kung (god of the sea who predicts the weather) and Zhurong (god of fire) stand out.
Like many other mythologies, Chinese mythology also explains natural phenomena through the exploits of its characters.
It tells the origin of the world, the existence of a hell and a paradise and other events that can also have an important social weight.
