Today, we’re looking at the story behind a poem. But don’t skip this episode just yet, because this Chinese poem from two thousand years ago is unique — and uniquely relevant to this podcast — in that it tells us about the myths and legends that were important to the poet’s audience, in a very particular style, for a very particular purpose. And the way it does that — well, you’ll hear all about it.
Join me, Jaer Christie, as I explore the hidden legends that shape the world on The Mythographist: Myths of Mainland China.
