It’s not particular to China. It’s peasant culture. Peasant fairy-tales tell us about it. Russian peasant culture wasn’t much different (and still can be seen in some Russians). Western European peasant culture was similar too in medieval times and even more recently.
Most of Chinese are descendants of peasants, and also they had to survive in a very competitive environment.
