At the end of the Song of Eternal Sorrow written by Bai Juyi, a poet in the Tang Dynasty, the "two-winged bird" flew out at the end of the finale, expressing the beautiful feelings of love and defense between men and women. So, what does a winged bird look like?
China's earliest exotic ancient book "Xishan Jing" mentioned:
"Shan Hai Jing Overseas Nanjing" mentioned this bird again:
It turns out that the original name of the bird is "Man". They always fly in pairs, one cyan and the other red. Therefore, it is used by later generations as a metaphor for faithful love. However, according to Shan Hai Jing, once love birds appeared, it also indicated the arrival of flood.
Shan Ze, an illustrator of the national wind, reappeared the appearance of a lovebird in "Viewing Mountains and Seas":
In addition to love birds, Guan Shan Hai Jing also painted many beasts and mysterious figures mentioned in the wonderful book Shan Hai Jing. Open the book Looking at the Mountain and the Sea, and people will immediately marvel at the brutal and romantic picture in the book.
You live on the Rocky Mountain mentioned in Shan Hai Jing and look like a modern macaque. Looking at it, I couldn't help thinking, "What about the orangutan who lost consciousness and grip strength?
Shan Hai Jing did not deify all kinds of animals. On the contrary, many animals in the book are edible. I'm proud of you. Acyl eaters walk very flexibly.
According to legend, Shang Zhouwang Di Xin's concubine Su Daji was changed from a nine-tailed fox. This nine-tailed fox, which made Su Daji bear the charge of "femme fatale" for thousands of years, originally came from Shan Hai Jing:
The book says that the nine-tailed fox will eat people and scream like a baby; If humans eat it, they will not be bewitched by monsters.
According to Shan Hai Jing, there are not only foxes but also tigers in Kyubi no Youko. In myth, Kunlun Mountain is the capital of the Heaven Emperor on earth, guarded by "Lu Wu". Roh Moo-hyun has a face and a tiger body, Kyubi no Youko, just like Sugizawa's works:
Why do you look like a big shot who plays a fairy? Is this the legendary tiger girl?
In Shan Hai Jing, not only terrestrial animals look strange, but aquatic animals look more strange every minute. For example, "Ranyiyu" lives in water, but it has a snake head and six feet.
Although the fish is fierce, it represents good luck. People can stay away from nightmares and get lucky if they eat it.
However, the head of this fish looks like a magpie, sounds like a magpie, and has ten wings! Is this really a fish?
According to Shan Hai Jing, a fish is a fish because it lives in water. Although its scales are hidden at the top of feathers, a fish can't be judged by its appearance!
Besides, fish can have many uses. It can prevent fire at home; It can also cure jaundice.
In ancient mythology, Nu Wa, who made man fall from the sky, had a "snake with a human face". Shan Hai Jing also mentioned "human face snake" many times. For example, the "snake-faced God" in Mountain Classic and the "Xuanyuan Man" in Sea Classic:
The "snake face god" is very picky about the offerings provided by human beings. First, it requires roosters and pigs to be buried in the soil together; Then, throw a piece of jade and a piece of jade into the mountains.
Moreover, people in XuanYuanGuo also have snake faces and like to wrap their tails around their heads.
People like to combine beautiful women with snakes out of imagination. Sugizawa is no exception. In Guan Shan Hai Jing, his two "snake-faced figures" are full of feminine beauty.
Besides snakes, people also like to imagine that fish and beautiful women form a "mermaid" together. However, the mermaid in the classic of mountains and seas, as ugly as it seems, has ruthlessly disillusioned the beauty of human beings.
Look at the "Shan Hai Jing" record: "Human face, four feet, fish body. It sounds like a baby, and it is not an idiot to eat it. "
Isn't this a giant salamander?
However, although the mermaid is ugly, it is very useful. If humans eat it, they can treat dementia. We are all "people", what's the hurry ...
According to Shan Hai Jing Ye Bei Jing, Kuafu, who died of thirst after the sun, was a descendant of Emperor Yan. In the war between the Yellow Emperor and Chiyou, he helped Chiyou and was killed by Ying Long sent by the Yellow Emperor.
But in Shan Hai Jing and Dong Shan Jing, Kuafu turned out to be a monkey covered in pig hair! As soon as it appears, it will cause a flood. It seems that Kuafu is afraid of thirst, and he takes water with him wherever he goes.
Jia Baoyu in A Dream of Red Mansions was born with a beautiful jade in his mouth, which is said to be a small stone left over from the time when the goddess filled the sky. There is an animal and a orb in Shan Hai Jing.
However, this animal is different from the handsome Jia Baoyu, a little ugly and a little pig. It has a lovely name "II" because it sounds like "II~II~".
There is a mountain god named Jiaochong in Shan Hai Jing, who is the leader of bees and other insects. However, don't think that he is also a bug.
The arrogant bug has one person, but two heads. It's horrible!
Nowadays people often refer to Japan as "Fusang". In fact, the original intention of Fusang is a plant. There is a very popular flower in the south of China called Hibiscus. Shan Hai Jing also mentioned a tree called Fusang Tree.
Fusang tree is not an ordinary tree. According to the book, there is a big lake under the black pool. The legendary ten suns are bathing in this big lake. They usually hang on a tree called "Fusang" on the lake.
Shan Hai Jing, as a wonderful work in ancient China, recorded precious resources in all aspects of ancient times. In addition to exotic animals, there are records of religion, minerals and medicine. Knowledge is so rich that Sima Qian, who wrote historical records, said that he dared not speak.
Every dynasty had painters who wanted to paint the animals mentioned in Shan Hai Jing. The modern version, the most amazing is Sugazawa's view of mountains and seas. The wildness, elegance and cunning of all kinds of animals pop out under Sugizawa's exquisite paintings, and people can't help but take a look.
How many kinds of animals are there in Changbai Mountain Nongfu Spring mineral water, and how to draw 4 kinds.
The new product continues the illustration style of Nongfu Spring's high-end mineral water series, and draws four rare wild animals living in Changbai Mountain, such as Siberian tiger, chipmunk, sparrow hawk and Chinese merganser. In addition to beauty, I also hope to awaken people's awareness of protecting nature.
