The essential guide to the complex, fascinating world of Chinese myths: retelling the stories and exploring their significance in Chinese culture.

This is a concise and entertaining guide to the complex tradition of Chinese mythology. While many around the world are familiar with some aspects of Chinese myth – through Chinese New Year festivities or the classic adventures of the Monkey King in Journey to the West – few outside of China understand the richness of Chinese mythology, influenced by Daoism, Buddhism and Confucianism.

Offering much more than any competing overview of Chinese mythology, The Chinese Myths not only retells the ancient stories but also considers their place within the patterns of Chinese religions, culture and history. Tao Tao Liu introduces us to an intriguing cast of gods, goddesses, dragons and monks, including: the ancient hero, Yi the Archer, who shot suns out of the sky to save humanity from a drought; Guanyin, the Goddess of Mercy and Compassion, to whom there are temples dedicated all over East Asia; and Madame White Snake, a water snake spirit in the guise of a mysterious widow, her story adapted into countless films and operas. This book is for anyone interested in China, as knowing its myths allows readers to understand and appreciate its culture in a new light.

A Cable That Knows Its Job and Does It Without Drama
Style: 1-Pack, Size: 6 Feet
This Amazon Basics DisplayPort‑to‑HDMI cable is the strong, silent type — uni‑directional, dependable, and absolutely not here for your “why won’t this work backwards?” nonsense. It plugs in, does its job, and beams your DisplayPort signal to your HDMI display like a loyal little digital courier. No flickering, no tantrums, no “surprise, I’m actually an adapter from 2009.” If you want a cable that just works and doesn’t demand emotional support, this is the one.

Clear picture and reliable connection.
Style: 1-Pack, Size: 6 Feet
This DisplayPort to HDMI cable was exactly what I needed at a low price point to connect my computer to my monitor. The gold-plated connectors are functional for maintaining a steady signal, and the 6ft length is more than adequate for my desk setup. I’m giving it 5 stars because the picture quality is excellent and it worked immediately without any flickering—this was a good choice.

just works perfectly out of the box
Style: 1-Pack, Size: 6 Feet
Plugged this in between my PC and monitor and it worked right away with zero setup required. Picture quality is great and I've had no issues with flickering or signal drops after weeks of use. The 6 foot length is perfect for a typical desk setup and it feels a lot sturdier than the random cheap cables I've used before. Honestly what more could you want from a cable at this price point.
