What Became of the Weaving Maid’s Spindle? An Introduction to Chinese Folklore (Webinar)
Price range: $18.00 through $50.00
We are familiar with the folktales, legends and myths that build the imaginative framework of Western literature. We know the answer to questions like: How did Red Riding Hood escape the great Wolf’s belly? or Why does Demeter weep each winter?
But we have no idea who shot down nine suns and saved the world from burning or what became of the Weaving Maid’s Spindle.
Chinese literature, like all story, is built upon the building blocks of fairytales, fables, myths, and legends. This webinar will be an introduction to the enchanting world of Chinese folklore and mythology. Here will be an invitation to pour a new cup of tea and hear with delight stories that have burned in the Eastern imagination for centuries. For those of us who stand at the foot of this great tree of stories, there can be no better way to come to appreciate the Eastern half of that tree, than by steeping in the stories that have long given it life. Come on July 7th and learn with Addison Hornstra the questions which the great story-tellers of China have shared with their audiences throughout the ages. This will be an introduction that ushers you into a rich collection of stories that bring to life the imaginative backdrop of Chinese literature.
