Synopsis

Strange beasts in the Classic of Mountains and Seas refer to the mysterious and strange monsters recorded in the Classic of Mountains and Seas. These strange beasts allow readers to understand to a certain extent the ecological environment in ancient times and the ancients' understanding and imagination of some unknown things. These strange-looking animals have also provided endless reveries to many art lovers and artists, making everyone endlessly creative. Many people have drawn pictures of strange animals in the Classic of Mountains and Seas, including ancient Chinese people such as Jiang Yinghao, Hu Wenhuan, Cheng Yin and others; Japan has "Strange Birds and Beasts Pictures". In modern times, many people have drawn many versions of the strange beasts in "The Classic of Mountains and Seas". These pictures of exotic animals from all over the world, both ancient and modern, have added many new directions to our study of the Classic of Mountains and Seas, and have also allowed many non-professionals to enter the world of the Classic of Mountains and Seas from another aspect.

Reader comments

I found many prototypes of exotic animals in TV series here. I always barely understand them in TV series. Only here did I learn the stories behind them. Collect them! Next time you see some mythical beast, come here to learn more about it [I understand]

I especially like the description of Lushu in the book, which reminds me that some animals are now extinct due to human hunting. We should protect animals and live in harmony with them. Moreover, the writing of this book is good, simple and easy to understand, just like chatting with a friend, it is easy to read into it.
