In this paper, we made a figure about the history of studying Chinese myth. We also criticized the problems originated from Orientalism and Sinocentrism. First, we argued non-existence of cosmogony, non-existence of systematic myth, three division of narrative originated from Orientalism and centeral origin, broad-meaning mythology, cultural territorism originated from Sinocentrism. East Asian mythology did not yet get its own status in the world mythology. we have to reestablish East Asian mythology overcoming above mythological biases. And so we suggest 'the mythology of transgression' to orthodox mythology. this mythology does not belong to any trend of orthodox mythology, so we can call it 'The third mythology'. This time, the globlization make serious the monopoly of imagination by the 1st world. In this point, 'the mythology of transgression' based on East Asian mythology will have a meaning as an effective cultural resistance.
