Author Description

You should know the difference between Chinese myth and foreign ones, and these differences between Chinese myth and Greek one present particularly obvious. For example, most of the God in China are half-man half-beast, and mythologize human into God; while the God in Greece are given rich humanity, and mythologize God into human, and human and God have the same figure and gender. The Gods in Chinese myth are otherworldly, unlike the jealous and peacockish God in Greek myth. Greek entrusts their God casual and elegant bearing as their own figure, because they usually pay attention to the physical vigor, grace and power. Chinese models their God as noble and grand figure because Chinese emphasize more on virtue.
