Description

Unveil the Mythology of China and Korea! Journey beyond mist-shrouded mountains, sacred rivers, and celestial palaces into the living heart of East Asian legend with the Encyclopedia of Mythical Creatures: Taoism, Chinese & Korean Mythology Volume. This exquisitely illustrated bestiary reveals a world where dragons command the storm winds, fox spirits weave illusion and desire, ghost maidens walk beneath the moon, and divine beasts guard the harmony between heaven, earth, and the underworld. Through radiant storytelling and mesmerizing art, this volume unveils the timeless balance between beauty and terror, virtue and vengeance, serenity and fire. Discover Legendary Beings and Celestial Wonders: From the benevolent Qilin and the thunder-summoning Yinglong to the vengeful Gumiho and the haunting Cheonyeo Gwishin, each entry immerses readers in the myths, rituals, and philosophy that shaped the spiritual landscapes of China and Korea. Explore the origins of mountain gods and river dragons, the foxes who stole hearts, and the restless souls who wandered between worlds. Rooted in Taoist cosmology, Buddhist symbolism, and ancient shamanic tradition, these tales breathe with the pulse of civilizations that saw the divine reflected in every creature and storm. Stunning Artwork for Every Creature: Each being is reborn through luminous illustrations, capturing the majesty, mystery, and emotion of East Asia’s mythic imagination. From the moonlit feathers of heavenly birds to the burning eyes of spectral tigers and dragon-guarded seas, every page glows with color and spirit—an artistic celebration of harmony, duality, and eternal transformation. Perfect for Myth Enthusiasts, Historians, and Fantasy Lovers: Whether you are exploring the mountain spirits that protect the land, the celestial guardians of the four directions, or the tricksters and phantoms that walk unseen among the living, this volume offers a rich, immersive journey into the soul of East Asian myth. Inside this book, you’ll find: In-depth profiles of legendary beings: Qilin, Fenghuang, Baihu, Gumiho, Cheonyeo Gwishin, Bulgasari, Yong, Jangsanbeom, Jeoseung Saja, Baridegi, and many more.
