According to Shan Hai Jing, the first of the two classics is the mountain that worships me, which is in the south of the Yangtze River and looks at the tomb in the north. There is a kind of bird that looks like a bird with only one wing and one eye. It looks like it's flying. It's called beautiful. When you see it, it will drown the world.
The first mountain of the West Third Classics is called Chongwu Mountain, which is located in the south of the Yellow River and is expected to be buried in the north. There is a bird in the mountains, which looks like a wild duck, with one wing and one eye. It must combine with another same bird to fly. Once it appears in the world, there will be a big flood.
The strange bird mentioned in the article is a kind of bird with wings. This is a bird with only one wing and one eye. According to the original intention, a single bird cannot fly, so how did it come into being? In fact, according to the laws of nature and genetic biology, this kind of bird does not exist. First of all, from the biological point of view, this kind of bird is fragile, it is difficult to catch food without flying, and it is easy to be attacked, and it is difficult to avoid, reproduce and survive, which is not in line with the laws of nature.
In addition, under normal circumstances, only creatures with one eye and one wing can give birth to such offspring. Of course, it is also possible that the monster with one eye and the monster with the other wing are combined into one. There is such a creature in Shan Hai Jing.
For example, the strange fish and thin fish with only one eye recorded in Dongshan Jing, a one-eyed monster similar to cattle, are very famous, but it is difficult to find single-winged creatures, which are generally multi-winged.
This kind of bird only exists in myth or is a freak, so we should be a fairy tale. But the difference is that love birds generally refers to loving couples, but in Shan Hai Jing, it is a harbinger of disaster, and its appearance will cause a great flood.
