Synopsis

The book contains more than 100 of the most representative monsters in China. The author flipped through hundreds of classics and gave detailed explanations of each monster's past and present lives. We have also paired corresponding pictures for each monster. Most of these pictures come from traditional ancient books, and some ghosts are hand-drawn by modern illustrators. The book is mainly based on pictures and supplemented by explanations. It is hoped that it can provide readers with a picture of monsters that is found in ancient rare books and has value for appreciation, collection and academic research.

Reader comments

This book is really great! It contains many ancient Chinese monsters, each with detailed explanations and exquisite pictures. I especially like the plot about fox demons and tengu in the book. Their characters and experiences are very interesting. The author's explanation is also very vivid, which gave me a deeper understanding of the gods and spirits in ancient China. This book is of great collectible value and is recommended to friends who like monster culture!

Looking for a Study List for OC People

I would like to read a book similar to "Jungian Psychology". Are there any OC references or books to study? I prefer Jungian psychology/personality typology. Others can also be recommended. Religion, writing skills, mysticism, psychology, and design can all be recommended.
