Chinese Folklore

1974–1982 · 2 seasons

A stately, old-fashioned parade of moral fables, staged with theatrical earnestness and a comforting sense that wrongs will eventually be righted.

Overview
《民間傳奇》adapted dozens of famous Chinese folk tales, dramas, and myth legends, such as "The Butterfly Lovers" and "Chang'e Flying to the Moon". These stories show the joys and sorrows of ancient Chinese people, and celebrate the righteous and kind while condemning evil. The endings are not always perfect, but justice eventually prevails and evil-doers get what they deserve. The show is a classic in Chinese TV history, often broadcasted during holidays, and remains unsurpassed to this day.
