Recently, Yuelu Bookstore published a new edition of Popular Masterpieces Gallery, which gave a brand-new interpretation, translation and reading guidance to such famous works and historical subsets as Shan Hai Jing and Chu Ci. In the ancient culture of China, there are many beautiful legends, such as "Jingwei filling the sea", "Kuafu chasing the sun" and "Goddess mending the sky". These legends are all from Shan Hai Jing. Shan Hai Jing records the historical legends or surreal existence of ancient mountains and rivers in China, such as geography, rare animals and mythical figures. , had a far-reaching impact on China's later history and culture.

Shan Hai Jing is known as "the ancestor of ancient and modern rare books and the first of the four classical novels in pre-Qin". Shan Hai Jing, as its name implies, is an ancient book about mountains and seas. This book records the ancient mountains and rivers, one mountain, one water, one beast, one bird and one tree, which come down in one continuous line, just like the comprehensive results of the national land and resources survey.

1. Shan Hai Jing is a very complicated book.

In our current words, this is a book about natural history, culture and mythology. Everything, in my opinion, is a summary of ancient culture, equivalent to prehistoric civilization. Shan Hai Jing consists of Shan Hai Jing and Hai Jing. "Mountain Classic" takes mountains as a clue, from east to sea, from west to today's Qinghai, Gansu, from north to Inner Mongolia, from south to Sichuan and Guangdong, and records the topography and products in detail. Hai Jing mainly describes the "overseas" world, and the description is more casual. It mainly describes myths and the western regions, but it is ethereal and magnificent.

2. It was sealed in the east of Wuxian.

It looks like a pig with a black head in front and a black head in the back. Xuanyuan is located on the coast of the poor mountain. People are short-lived, but they are 800 years old. In the north of this girl country, people there have faces, snakes and tails on their heads. During the Warring States period, the upper class nobles advocated health preservation and pursued longevity, and all localities pursued exotic goods to live in. Shan Hai Jing is the product of this era and became a popular reading at that time. The descriptions of historical geography, myths and legends have greatly enriched and influenced the ancient culture of China. Shan Hai Jing is also the originator of China's novels.

The famous myths such as "Jingwei filling the sea" and "Kuafu pursuing righteousness" all come from Shan Hai Jing, so this book is the source of ancient myths in China, and the origin of China myths comes from this book. For example, Liangzhu civilization, which was very popular recently, successfully applied for the World Heritage. Now, as we all know, it confirms the 5,000-year history of civilization in China.
