    Editor's Note

                           During the Lunar New Year and especially during the Lantern Festival,
                       Chinese, young and old, engage in a favorite cultural as recreational
                       activity-guessing riddles. Most riddles are descriptions of, or metaphors

                       for, the characteristics of external phenomena or the behavioral attributes
                       of a broad range of creatures and things. Since the birth of the Republic
                       of China, the Folklore Society at Chungshan University has collected and
                       published many traditional riddle books. The riddles presented in The
                       Overseas Chinese Library are selected from these publications. We have

                       also collected more recent riddles about modern things for our Library.
                       Because Chinese riddles are rhymed and full of fun, they are loved by
                       children.
