The author of the book is unknown. The ancients believed that the book was "written by curious people during the Warring States Period who took the "Biography of King Mu" and miscellaneously recorded "Zhuang", "Lie", "Li Sao", "Book of Zhou" and "Jin Cheng". Modern scholars also believe that the book was not written at one time, and the author was not one person.

Reader comments

Looking for a job is very hard and stressful during this period. Sometimes I imagine that I can be like the mythical beast in the book, with unique abilities and able to face difficulties with ease. However, this book also made me understand that everyone has his own characteristics and values, and we must find our own "superpowers" in order to find our own place in this world. Even though I haven't found a job yet, I believe in my ability and I will be able to find a suitable position. This book is not only an interesting read but also inspiring.
