This week on the Mythographist, we look at three stories that all make up parts of the most important flood myth in Chinese culture: the legend of Gonggong's fight against Zhuanxu; the story of how the goddess Nüwa fixed the hole in the sky; and the folktale of a brother and sister who survive a flood. This story is the basis for the 2021 Immortals: Fenyx Rising video game expansion, Myths of the Eastern Realm, and is one of the most well-known legends in all of Mainland China.
Join me, Jaer Christie, as I explore the hidden legends that shape the world on The Mythographist.
