Story Path

Use five Chinese myths as a compact world mythology set.

These stories work as a side-by-side comparison set for broader mythology units. Learners can ask what each myth explains, what problem appears, what choice the character makes, and what value the story carries.

Pangu and Nuwa help children compare creation, repair, order, and balance stories across cultures.

Hero Choices

Hou Yi gives a problem-and-solution myth that works well beside other solar or hero traditions.

Persistence and Discovery

Jingwei and Shennong open discussion around resilience, nature, healing, and why myths remember hard work.
