Reader comments

The book "The Classic of Mountains and Seas" is so interesting! The authors Guo Pu and Hao Yixing are simply imaginative. The rare animals, myths and legends in it are overwhelming. Moreover, Shen Haibo's proofreading is also very careful, making this book easier to understand. As the book says, "There is a beast, it looks like a fox and has nine tails." The image of a nine-tailed fox was immediately imprinted in my mind. This book can not only broaden people's horizons, but also stimulate imagination. It is very suitable for students to read.
