==Pre-modern Chinese Literature through the end of the Ming Dynasty==
 
 
 
Chinese Literature is well prefaced by the traditional myths and legends that have been passed down from many generations. Some of these legends illustrate the beginnings of the world and the formation of mankind. Not unlike the Westerner's familiarity with The Bible which details it's own version of the origins of mankind, the mythology talks of Pan Gu who came before the Earth was created. He later became a part of the earth. Legend talks about Nuwa the Goddes that created humankind from clay. Even the details of the early myths are referenced in later works of authors and poets to the present day.
