Historically, there are many leisure ativities during this festival and the most famous is “floating wine goblets and curving water”（流觞曲水）which was also recorded in detail in Preface of the Orchid Pavilion（《兰亭集序》）by Wang Xizhi.

疏珊Shu Shan, 202270081695

Abstract

Chinese mythology is a collection of cultural history, folktales, and religious tradition that has been passed down for centuries in oral or written form. Myths are an integral part of religion, especially in the Taoism. Many myths have been integrated into Taoism in the course of history to illustrate religious views. Everything has spirits and deserves respect, based on the belief of Chinese mythology. Taoists preserve this idea to persuade the disciples to believe in the divinities. The origin of Taoism is Laozi, who says “Man imitates earth, earth imitates heaven, heaven follows the divine law, and the divine law follows nature.” He emphasizes that people should respect the nature and obey the law of nature, which is manifested in the mythology, for example, “Nüwa creating human”, “Kuafu Chasing the Sun” and “Jingwei Tries to Fill the Sea”.
