In fact, Shan Hai Jing is not a fairy book, but an ancient book in the pre-Qin period, which records various events in ancient myths and legends and is also a geography book. It mainly tells stories about ancient geography, products, myths, witchcraft and religion. It also includes ancient medicine, China history, folk customs, nationalities and so on.
At the same time, some strange things were recorded. It is rich in content, complete in information, full of ancient legends and stories, and full of ancient events. This is also a great book, from which we can learn many ancient secrets.
Nu Wa made man, Kuafu shot him every day, shot him for nine days, Jingwei reclaimed the sea, and Dayu controlled the water ... all from here. It can be said that Shan Hai Jing is the cradle of China myths and legends.
There are very mysterious creatures in Shan Hai Jing written thousands of years ago. What kind of wonderful book is this?
Shan Hai Jing not only records a large number of geographical information such as mountains, rivers and countries, but also records the creation, invention and practice activities of ancient people, special natural phenomena and religious sacrificial activities, which has extraordinary literature value. Its wide content and wide coverage have amazed future generations.
Most importantly, The Classic of Mountains and Seas initiated the transformation of the thinking mode of our ancestors and had a far-reaching impact on the creation of literature and art in later generations.
For Shan Hai Jing, we are not born. Perhaps, the article A Chang and Shan Hai Jing, which was first seen in junior middle school Chinese textbooks, is about Lu Xun's obsessive memory of Shan Hai Jing when he was a child. Many modern interpretations of Shan Hai Jing also refer to some related viewpoints of Mr. Lu Xun.
Lu Xun said in A Chang and Shan Hai Jing: "These four books are my original and my favorite treasures."
It can be seen from this sentence that Mr. Lu Xun spoke highly of the value of Shan Hai Jing, which is not his unique view. The reference value of Shan Hai Jing is indeed there. In addition, it is also of reference value to the study of China's ancient history, culture, Chinese and foreign transportation, folk customs and myths.
At the same time, A Chang and Shan Hai Jing has also been included in the textbook "The Second Volume of the Seventh Grade of Chinese", which should be familiar to everyone. At the same time, the new Chinese textbook also requires children to read Shan Hai Jing after class!
Such an excellent classic must be read as soon as possible in the golden period of children's reading.
So, what kind of book is the real Shan Hai Jing? Shan Hai Jing is an ancient book written by China, which records ancient anecdotes. Its content mainly includes geographical knowledge in folklore, including mountains and rivers, Taoist temples, nationalities, products, medicine, sacrifices, witch doctors and so on. Many scholars believe that it is a documentary record after a national geographic survey, and some of it can be confirmed.
In the 1950s, Henry Eitel, a famous American scholar? Ms. Mertz once searched for the North American continent according to the distance and direction recorded in the book, and found the road map in the book.
Shan Hai Jing? Dongshan Jing describes in detail the four mountains in the Midwest of the United States, namely the Rocky Mountains, the Sierra Nevada Mountains, the Cascade Mountains and the Coastal Mountains. The recorded peaks, rivers, plants and animals are almost identical.
Later, he published the famous special topic "The earliest discovery of the United States in China". It caused a great sensation at that time.
However, when the world was shocked, it was once again questioned: "How could the ancients accomplish such a historical feat in ancient times with inconvenient transportation? You know, China and the United States are thousands of miles apart, and it is impossible to reach America by feet alone! "
As far as we know, previous human beings could not cross the ocean and investigate the geographical knowledge of the world. After all, traveling around the world is something that human beings can only do in recent years.
In this regard, there is a saying that we are extremely afraid: the earth civilization 5000 years ago was extremely developed, perhaps under the guidance of some foreign civilization. Thus creating the splendid civilizations of all countries in the world.
In fact, if there really was a high-tech civilization in ancient times, it would not be surprising to be able to climb mountains and reach the United States. After all, Shan Hai Jing also records many magical creatures.
Kirin has a gentle personality, which represents health and auspiciousness. In ancient times, the unicorn was what people most wanted to see. The record of Kirin in Shan Hai Jing is: the head is like a dragon, the body is like a deer, the tail is like an ox, and the four feet are like a horse. So many people call it four unlike. In ancient times, Kirin was the mount of immortals. It is said that Kirin can live for more than 2000 years.
Although this idea is extremely scary, it is indeed a very reasonable explanation if you think about it carefully. Of course, all this can't be verified, and we can only infer it according to the existing conditions.
There is no denying that Shan Hai Jing is an all-encompassing gobbledygook. It has won the research value of literature, geography, myth and fantasy, and is the first treasure of Chinese civilization. It has the magical power to crack the history of ancient civilization and has a far-reaching influence on China and even the world.
What Shan Hai Jing really records may be a lost world, a world with different dimensions, or a lost space. Think about it carefully, it is really a "heavenly book" that makes people think very carefully.
The Classic of Mountains and Seas is written in classical Chinese, which is still obscure for adults to read, and even more incomprehensible for children. Therefore, I specially found this set of Shan Hai Jing for everyone.
This is a fully annotated and fully translated version in the vernacular, with six volumes in total. The content is easy to understand and the packaging is exquisite, so it can be used for collection.
The classical Chinese annotations in the book, coupled with the analysis of vernacular Chinese, give you a more comprehensive understanding of Shan Hai Jing, and there are some pictures in it to increase the fun of reading.
The whole set of books is also very cost-effective, just a meal. When you are familiar with it, you can also tell your children a traditional story about China culture. You may not be interested in a story, so study it. Even if you don't have time to study, it's good to read the ancient names of China at home in your spare time.
