Who wrote Shan Hai Jing?
This book is a very bizarre story recorded in the book, and many people have never heard of it, so the author of this book is not fastidious. Modern scholars believe that the dynasty and author of this book are uncertain, and because of its age, it is impossible to talk about who the author of this book is. But there are still many people who think that the author of this book is Dayu and others, and then Liu Xiang of the Western Han Dynasty compiled it. However, this statement has also been opposed by many people, so Bian Xiao is not sure who the author of this book is. If you are interested, you can also search.
Is this book written with reference to reality?
Although art comes from reality, the stories in Shan Hai Jing's books are very strange. It may be people's imagination, but there is no prototype in reality. For example, some animals in the book are pieced together by many animals. It is strange that some animals have antlers, snake tails and cow hooves. So this book may be just an imaginary work, but it may also be a realistic work, and now we can't study it.
abstract
The story in Shan Hai Jing is beautiful and can give people a lot of inspiration. If you are particularly interested, you can also buy a book and read it carefully.
