Welcome to the audiobook edition of Chinese Festivals and Folktales for Young Readers, part of LingLing’s Chinese Stories for Young Readers series.

This bilingual collection is specially created to help young learners develop their Mandarin Chinese while discovering the richness of Chinese culture.

Inside, you will discover the stories behind ten of China’s most important traditional festivals, from spring to winter. From Chinese New Year to the Lantern Festival, from the Dragon Boat Festival to the Mid-Autumn Festival, each story opens a window into the customs, traditions and meanings behind these special celebrations.

These stories have been told and retold for many generations. Some explain the origins of important festivals, some celebrate loyalty, remembrance, love and reunion, and others are filled with magic, adventure and imagination.

Each bilingual story begins with a selection of key words in Mandarin and English, followed by line-by-line narration, first in Mandarin and then in English.

You will also hear a Culture Corner exploring the background and cultural significance of each story, followed by a short, fun reflective question to help you think about the story and share your own ideas.

For an extra listening challenge, Mandarin-only versions of all ten stories are grouped together after the bilingual chapters, giving you another opportunity to practise your listening skills and see how much you can understand.

Note: This audiobook includes a PDF content guide for reference only. For the full eBook or paperback with extra learning materials, please visit LingLingMandarin.com
