Invited by the Italian publisher NUINUI BOOKS, Yulong Lli contributed the section on Chinese mythology for the World Mythologies series.

Drawing on a long-standing interest in mythological narratives, Yulong incorporated visual references he is particularly drawn to, including the patterns of Chinese ceramics, the rhythm of traditional textiles, and the perspective of export paintings. Rather than simply illustrating stories, the project explores how different cultural symbols can be reassembled and allowed to coexist within a single visual language.

The result reflects Yulong’s ongoing interest in blending the familiar with the unexpected, leaving space for mythological imagination to remain open and evolving.
