Un florilège de mythes, de contes et de légendes permet de pénétrer dans l'imaginaire de Chine Jadis vivait un khan que tout le monde appelait le khan volant. Durant sa jeunesse, il s'était enamouré d'une jeune fille très belle, une fée, ressemblant à la lune. Ses yeux brillaient comme l'or. Le khan la chercha dans le monde entier sans parvenir à la trouver. D'un magicien, il apprit de voler en l'air. Il chercha sa beauté dans le ciel durant trente ans, en vain. En désespoir de cause, il la fit dessiner et peindre selon ses indications. Il cacha le tableau dans une salle du trésor de son palais. Il se dit : "Pour moi, cela suffit. Me voilà d'âge mûr. Il est temps que je fonde un foyer". Il épousa une autre femme, qui lui donna un enfant du nom de Jiangde Bator ("le preux"). Ayant atteint quinze-seize ans, ce garçon devint un hardi gars. Sans pareil ! Un jour, il eut un éclair. S'il fouillait les salles du trésor de son père ? Il se mit à examiner les quarante salles. Il en fouilla trente-neuf. Mais pour la quarantième, pas de clef. Il fouilla, tortura la serrure en vain. Il appela sa mère, la supplia de lui trouver la clef.

In literatures worldwide, animal fables have been analyzed for their revealingly anthropomorphic views, but until now little attention has been given to the animal tales of China. The complex, competitive relationship between rodents (vilified as thieves of grain) and the felines with whom they are perennially at war is explored in this presentation of Chinese tales about cats and mice. Master translator Wilt Idema situates them in an overview of animal tales in world literature, in the Chinese literary tradition as a whole, and within Chinese imaginative depictions of animals. The tales demonstrate the animals’ symbolism and their unusually prominent—and verbal—role in the stories. These readings depict cats and mice in conflict, in marital bonds, and in litigation—most centrally in a legal case of a mouse against a cat in the underworld court of King Yama. Many of the stories adopt the perspective of the mice as animals merely trying to survive, while also recognizing that cats are natural hunters. This entertaining volume will appeal to readers interested in Chinese literature and society, comparative literature, and posthumanist consideration of human-animal relations.

The Cult Of The Fox written by Xiaofei Kang and has been published by Columbia University Press this book supported file pdf, txt, epub, kindle and other format this book has been release on 2006 with History categories.
For more than five centuries the shamanistic fox cult has attracted large portions of the Chinese population and appealed to a wide range of social classes. Deemed illicit by imperial rulers and clerics and officially banned by republican and communist leaders, the fox cult has managed to survive and flourish in individual homes and community shrines throughout northern China. In this new work, the first to examine the fox cult as a vibrant popular religion, Xiaofei Kang explores the manifold meanings of the fox spirit in Chinese society. Kang describes various cult practices, activities of worship, and the exorcising of fox spirits to reveal how the Chinese people constructed their cultural and social values outside the gaze of offical power and morality.

Through detailed discussions of several Buddhist and Chinese moral concepts and beliefs and accompanied by some edifying short stories, this book investigates three types of ethical treatment of animals in early Chinese Buddhism: the imperial bans on animal sacrifice; the early development of the two unique and living traditions of vegetarianism; and the freeing of animals. The book presents a demonstration of the early Chinese acceptance of Indian Buddhism, providing the reader with a better understanding of the early history of Chinese Buddhism in general, and of the integration of Chinese and Indian Buddhist cultures in particular.

The Six Dynasties Period (220-589 CE) is one of the most complex in Chinese history. Written by leading scholars from across the globe, the essays in this volume cover nearly every aspect of the period, including politics, foreign relations, warfare, agriculture, gender, art, philosophy, material culture, local society, and music. While acknowledging the era's political chaos, these essays indicate that this was a transformative period when Chinese culture was significantly changed and enriched by foreign peoples and ideas. It was also a time when history and literature became recognized as independent subjects and religion was transformed by the domestication of Buddhism and the formation of organized Daoism. Many of the trends that shaped the rest of imperial China's history have their origins in this era, such as the commercial vibrancy of southern China, the separation of history and literature from classical studies, and the growing importance of women in politics and religion.
