"The name of the girl of Emperor Yan is Nvwa. The Nvwa swam in the East China Sea and drowned, so she became the Jingwei. She often carried wood and stones from the Western Mountains in her hands and threw them into the East China Sea." Do you know where this story comes from? This book is the oldest geography book rich in myths and legends. It mainly describes ancient geography, products, myths, witchcraft, religion, etc., And also includes ancient history, medicine, folk customs, ethnicity, etc. In addition, some strange events were also recorded in the form of running accounts, about which there is still great controversy. The most representative myths and fables include Kuafu chasing the sun, Nuwa mending the sky, Jingwei filling the sea, Gun and Yu controlling the floods, etc.
Reader comments
This book is very interesting! There are many myths and legends in it. The stories of Kuafu chasing the sun, Nuwa mending the sky, and Jingwei mending the sea are simply too classic. But I hate Gonggong the most. He is so selfish. He went to Buzhou Mountain for his own selfish desires, causing the sky to collapse and the earth to collapse, and brought such great disaster to the people. But this book is still worth reading. It made me feel the charm of ancient culture.
