Complete Collection of Chinese Monsters

Monster culture is a unique and indispensable culture in Eastern civilization. Monsters embody folk imagination and creativity. Living in a land influenced by traditional culture, we are no strangers to certain monsters with national and regional characteristics, and even have deep feelings for them: such as the white snake under the Leifeng Pagoda, the nine-tailed fox in Tushan... There is no doubt that some self-evident things of this land are deeply imprinted on them, and they are even a cultural symbol in themselves. Monsters come in all kinds of strange forms, but their nature is like that of humans, some are good and some are evil, and some are even magical and awe-inspiring. Sometimes they are ferocious and terrifying, sometimes funny and cute... They are actually the epitome of ever-changing human nature. "Chinese Monster Encyclopedia" is a masterpiece of Chinese monster culture. The book contains 305 monsters (including 136 demons and monsters, 125 kinds of strange birds and beasts, 27 gods and strangers, 17 kinds of immortal grass and strange insects), 217 myths and stories, and 417 classic paintings. From gods and humans to strange birds and beasts, to monsters and ghosts, this book collects legends, folklore and myths from all over China, and provides readers with a bizarre and mysterious world of monsters and monsters with fantastic and creative illustrations.
