From "Nuwa Patching Heaven", we can see the imagination of the ancestors on the origin of mankind and the selfless and fearless dedication spirit; from "Pangu Kaitian" to understand the ancient people's tracing of the origin of the universe and the pioneering spirit of not fearing hardships; from "Cangjie Zhaozi" to understand the creation process of Chinese characters, one of the world's oldest scripts; from "Shennong Taste Hundred Herbs" to learn the scientific exploration spirit of "all things have a way"; from "Yugong Moving Mountain" to discover the perseverance of "children and grandchildren infinitely poor"...
In Chinese mythology and stories, the ancestors explored nature and explored their own spirit, which had a profound enlightening effect on the development of China's natural sciences, social sciences, art and culture. For teenagers, deepening their understanding of myths also helps to build a sense of cultural identity from mythological stories and draw spiritual strength from mythological characters.
