The Chinese civilization is one of the oldest civilizations of mankind, with a long history, and it has been inherited in a continuous line for more than 5,000 years without interruption, which is very rare in the history of the world. China is an important region of ancient human origin, and the Yellow River Basin, the Yangtze River Basin, the Pearl River Basin, the Liaohe River Basin and the Northern Grassland Cultural Zone are all the cradles of Chinese civilization. In ancient times, the level of productivity of primitive society was very low, in the face of the elusive and uncontrollable natural world, people would involuntarily produce a sense of mystery and awe, and some special natural phenomena, such as **, floods, and human beings' own birth, aging, sickness and death, etc., can especially cause surprise and panic.

As a result, people fantasized about the existence of supernatural gods and magic in the world, and worshipped them, and myths were born. Ancient mythology in the broad sense refers to the myths and legends of China before the Xia Dynasty and up to ancient times, while ancient mythology in the narrow sense includes myths from the Xia Dynasty to the Han Dynasty.

Ancient mythology is the fiction of natural phenomena and the origin of human beings by ancient ancestors according to their own imagination. It is created by the primitive ancestors in social practice, and its content involves all aspects of the natural environment and social life, and expresses the understanding and desire of the ancient people on nature and social phenomena in the form of stories, which always brings us unlimited imagination space. Anthropological research has shown that before the invention of writing, the myths and legends passed down by word of mouth were an exaggerated account of the history of the ancient flood and famine era by the ancestors.

The meaning of myths is usually expressed as an explanation of a certain natural or social phenomenon, and some express the desire of the ancestors to conquer nature and change society. Myths can only be produced when human beings can express their feelings and comprehend nature and society through language. China had a wealth of myths and legends in ancient times, due to the long time, there are very few records in the ancient literature, the information is scattered and incomplete, except for the "Classic of Mountains and Seas" and other books recorded in the myths are more concentrated, the rest are scattered in the scriptures, history, children, sets and other books.

These materials are often just fragments, and there are not many that have a complete storyline.

Ancient mythology is also a microcosm of ancient society, because there is no written record in ancient times, and the events or people that happened at that time generally cannot be directly verified. The origin of human beings is the first problem to be faced in human history, and the legend about the ancestors is their account of their own history, which has a considerable basis, because it is produced in history, it is an oral story among the ancestors, and in the prehistoric era without written records, it has irreplaceable historical value, reflecting a certain aspect of ancient history. Most of the characters in mythology come from the self-image of primitive humans, and these events and characters are often mythological.

Often in mythology, we can also get a glimpse of the epitome of the life of the ancestors. These myths and stories with Chinese characteristics have the history and culture of the Chinese nation, and we must understand these stories.
