Chinese mythology is a collection of cultural history, folktales, and religions that have been passed down in oral or written form. In the middle of the Tang Dynasty (618-907), many well-known writers and poets began writing folklore narratives. Their stories incorporated a wide range of subject matter and themes, reflecting various aspects of human nature, human relations and social life. These stories were 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. China''s mythical stories are full of human feelings. Gods, ghosts, fairy foxes and spirits are commonly described as living things with human qualities and human feelings. There are also stories that try to illustrate fatalism, reincarnation, and all sorts of feudal ethical principles.
