Myths and Legends of China by Edward T. C. Werner is a comprehensive collection of Chinese folklore, covering all three of the main Chinese religions: Buddhism, Confucianism, and Taoism. The author consulted mostly Chinese sources to splice together this broad look at Chinese traditional folklore.

The book is divided into two parts. The first part covers the evolution of Chinese cosmology, the creation myth, and the enormous pantheon of native Chinese gods, goddesses, and immortals. The second part is a collection of stories that illustrate the beliefs and values of the Chinese people.

The book is a fascinating read for anyone interested in Chinese mythology and culture. It provides a glimpse into the rich tapestry of ancient Chinese folklore, where gods, goddesses, and mythical creatures dwell.
