Chinese Myths and Legends for Young Readers

Welcome to the audiobook edition of Chinese Myths and Legends for Young Readers, part of our Chinese Stories for Young Readers series.

This bilingual collection is specially created to help young learners develop their Mandarin Chinese while discovering the richness of Chinese culture.

Inside, you will enjoy ten fun and engaging stories inspired by some of China's most famous myths and legends. Most are well-known Chinese classics, each introducing a legendary hero, mythical figure, magical creature, or cultural icon.

Along the way, you will meet gods, heroes, magical creatures, and brave young warriors from some of China's best-loved traditional stories.

You will discover how Pangu created the world, how Nüwa helped humankind, how Hou Yi faced the blazing suns, and how the Monkey King and Nezha became two of China's most beloved heroes. You will also meet the four legendary guardians: the Azure Dragon, the White Tiger, the Vermilion Bird, and the Black Tortoise.

Each story includes key words in Mandarin and English, followed by line-by-line narration in Mandarin and English to support young language learners. You'll also hear a Culture Corner exploring the story's background and meaning, plus a fun reflective question.

Mandarin-only versions of all ten stories are included at the end for an extra listening challenge.

We hope these stories bring Mandarin learning to life and take you on an exciting journey into the world of Chinese myths and legends.
