Kings and warriors, epic battles and impossible challenges — these are, quite literally, the stuff of legend, and that’s where we’re going on today’s episode of the Mythographist. We’ll look at two stories that lie just past the misty edge of recorded history, set well over four thousand years ago, when China was just beginning to coalesce into a single nation-state: The story of Xing Tian, and the legend of the unstoppable, singleminded giant, Kuafu.
