The Chinese New Year and Other Fantastic Creatures - In Chinese

Once upon a time many exotic and fantastic creatures lived in China. People say that they still do, but we are just too "modern" to see them or understand when they are around us. Fortunately, someone has come along who can retell some of the tales of those fabulous creatures. After months of assiduous research and visits to places not thought to still exist, Dr. Yang Zhi has brought to life tales that you would not believe, save you had read them here. To those whose liver is weak or those who may frighten easily, the author suggests that these tales be read in the company of a friend. This book is for Chinese language beginners.
