列仙傳

A sweeping portrait of ancient Chinese mythology unfolds, gathering together a host of legendary figures whose lives blur the line between human and divine. Each portrait reads like a brief vignette, offering a glimpse into the extraordinary abilities and deeds that shaped early mythic history.

Among them, a rain‑master who tames fire, a fire‑wielding sage who summons colored smoke, and a horse‑doctor capable of healing dragons showcase the fantastical powers attributed to these masters. Other characters live on herbs alone, travel the clouds, or fashion instruments that command the elements, all while weaving their own humble philosophies into the larger tapestry of myth.

The collection moves with a lyrical rhythm, inviting listeners to wander through mist‑shrouded mountains, secret chambers, and celestial courts. It is both a celebration of ancient imagination and a window into the cultural values that once guided the search for immortality and wisdom.
