Are there any records of dinosaur fossils found in ancient books in China?

Fossils are the remains of ancient creatures preserved in rocks, which is a well-known fact today, and even the most stubborn creationists will not argue about it. But for the ancients, this fact was not so obvious. Until the18th century, the scientific community was still full of controversy about whether fossils originated from living things. According to some domestic articles, Shen Kuo (103 1- 1095) in the Northern Song Dynasty first revealed the origin of fossils. Finch, more than 400 years ago. In Meng Qian Bi Tan, Shen Kuo did mention that there were snails and mussels between the cliffs of Taihang Mountain, so he thought this area was once a seaside. Prior to this, Yan Zhenqing (709-785), a calligrapher in the Tang Dynasty, said in the "Magu Xiantan" that "there are still snails and mussels on the high rocks, or the mulberry fields have changed". Zhu (1 130- 1200), who was later than Shen Kuo, also mentioned: "There are snail shells in mountains, or in raw rocks, which are old soil and snails are things in water." The snail shells they said are actually shell fossils, but they obviously regard them as real shells, and their statement does not involve the source of fossils.
