The Hole in the Sky

from The Mythographist Hosted by Jaer Christie

This week on the Mythographist, we look at three stories that all make up parts of the most important flood myth in Chinese culture: the legend of Gonggong's fight against Zhuanxu; the story of how the goddess Nüwa fixed the hole in the sky; and the folktale of a brother and sister who survive a flood. This story is the basis for the 2021 Immortals: Fenyx Rising video game expansion, Myths of the Eastern Realm, and is one of the most well-known legends in all of Mainland China. Join me, Jaer Christie, as I explore the hidden legends that shape the world on The Mythographist. ***Late release this week as my town was without electricity this weekend! :D*** Written, narrated, and produced by Jaer Christie Research by Jaer Christie & Elena Tung Music: "Dancing Abroad" by Shaoqing Luna Li via https://filmmusic.io/u/sqluna/music License (CC BY 4.0): https://filmmusic.io/standard-license "Homesick Melody" and "Dance in the Moon" by China National Orchestra, used under CC fair use.
