In Chinese Mythology, Stories of Creation and Invention, you will find supernatural explanations for many things, including how the ox came to work in the fields and how silk came into the world. You also will meet gods, mythic emperors, and giants, such as Pan-gu, who slept in an egg for 18,000 years so that the world could be born.
