The Goddess Tales picture book is a series I am currently working on based on tales in the Chinese Book Tales of The Mountain and The Sea. It is a book written in Ancient Chinese. I want to translate it into Modern English and bring more awareness to the Chinese culture.
Within all the myths, I chose to empathize with female characters since I find it very interesting that many female characters are portrayed as powerful figures in ancient Chinese mythology. One of the strongest female figures is Nüwa (女媧). I have been making a series of illustrations about her. She is going to be in the first stories in the book. She is the goddess that created human beings and saved the world in Chinese mythology like the God figure in the bible.
《女神的故事》图画书是我根据《山海经》中的故事创作的一个系列。这是一本用古汉语写的书。我想把它翻译成现代英语,让更多人了解中国文化。
在所有的神话中,我重点选择了一些女性角色,因为我发现在中国古代神话中,许多女性角色被描绘成强大的人物,这是非常有趣的。最强大的女性形象之一是女媧。我一直在制作关于她的系列插图。她将出现在书中的第一个故事中。她是中国神话中创造人类和拯救世界的女神,就像《圣经》中的上帝形象一样。
