"The Classic of Mountains and Seas" is an ancient Chinese classic full of magical colors. It is not only a treasure trove of knowledge about humanities and physical geography, but also a collection of Chinese mythology and fables. It is highly praised by many famous writers in ancient and modern times, such as Sima Qian, Tao Yuanming, Lu Xun, Jia Pingwa, etc. In the article "A Chang and the Classic of Mountains and Seas" in which he recalled his childhood, Lu Xun called the illustrated "Classic of Mountains and Seas" "the most beloved treasure book."
The translation and annotation version by the well-known young writer Koiwai is based on the proofreading version by famous writers such as Guo Pu and Yuan Ke. It is divided into four parts: the original text, annotations, translations, and illustrations. The original text is carefully revised, the annotations are streamlined, and the annotations are translated sentence by sentence. It is easy to understand and is a version more suitable for young people to read. Illustrator Sun and Moon Yin drew new full-color illustrations based on hundreds of ancient illustrations. The painting style is lifelike, restoring the style of ancient magical beasts, and allowing you to experience the beauty of Eastern ghosts and monsters up close.
This is a beautiful "The Classic of Mountains and Seas" that combines classical charm and modern aesthetics.

Moreover, the illustrations in the book are so exquisite, the ancient magical beasts seem to jump out of the book. Thinking back to the time when I read fairy tales with my friends when I was a child, this book gave me the same surprise and touch. I'm going to buy a copy for my cousin, he will definitely like it!
