Shan Hai Jing is a pre-Qin ancient book, which describes the geographical features and myths and legends of the pre-Qin era.
It also includes some ancient nationalities and folk customs. Reading it, we can feel the life characteristics of ancient ancestors and their yearning for a better life.
Shan Hai Jing is of great historical value to the study of people's production and life in the pre-Qin period, and it can be called an all-encompassing wonderful book.
The description of Shan Hai Jing is centered on the Central Plains, and then spread around. Some scholars believe that the description of Shan Hai Jing is very broad, and it is a rare collection of historical materials covering ancient Asian geography, products and nationalities.
Shan Hai Jing not only describes geographical knowledge, but also describes many strange animals.
If it looks like a sheep, but has a horse's tail, this beast is called a sheep.
These fantastic monsters are often entrusted with the ancestors' pursuit of a happy life and awe of nature.
Although most of the monsters and myths recorded in the book are not true, The Classic of Mountains and Seas, written by the ancients through their bold imagination, conveys to us not the original appearance of the ecology at that time, but a kind of courage to explore.
