Nano Luxiva provides an introduction to Xianxia, or Asian fantasy, and shows how Asian culture, mythology, and folktales form the basis for the genre's worldbuilding, narratives, and tropes. The presentation examines how these narratives keep ancient traditions alive in a modern context, and how Asian fantasy differs from – and meets – Western fantasy. With examples from, among others, Avatar: TheLast Airbender, anime, and Korean novels, a broad view of fantasy in Asia and mutual inspiration between East and West is opened.
