Chinese folklore consists of fables, legends, mythological tales and historical accounts. This collection of Chinese folktales includes the well-known tale of the Valiant Shu Lang, the woman who dressed herself as a man to join the military, the Laughing Monks who taught the path to a content life through the only language they knew, laughter and The Great Discovery, the tale of how a phoenix led a young couple to a treasure they later discover to be salt.
