story is the English term for “故事” which means a narrative that depicts phenomena in an extraordinary way based on our understanding of reality. It is a literary genre that focuses on describing the process of events, emphasizing the vividness and coherence of the plot. Stories are often best suited for oral storytelling, whether they recount past events or imagine new narratives. Interestingly, stories are closely intertwined with the primitive aspects of human production and life. Our ancestors had an urgent desire to comprehend nature, so they based their understanding on themselves and imagined that everything in the world, including nature itself, possessed life and willpower.
