S2 E12: The Crane Maiden and Other Chinese Fables
from Unlimited Opinions - Philosophy, Theology, Linguistics, & More · host Mark & Adam Bishop
If I had a nickel for every story in this episode that featured a man stealing clothes from a woman and forcing her to marry him, I'd have two nickels! Which isn't a lot, but it's weird that it happened twice. In this last episode focusing on Chinese mythology, we look at an assortment tales, including the story of how the silkworm came to be, the Crane Maiden, the Wooden Bridge Inn, the Dragon King's Daughter, and my personal favorite, How Monkey Became Immortal. Next episode: Classical Greek mythology! Follow us on Twitter! @UlmtdOpinionsGive us your opinions here!
