The ancients had beautiful yearnings and descriptions of gods.
There is a line in "The Songs of Chu" that says, "The emperor's son descended to Beizhu, with his eyes dim and worried", which expresses people's expectations and longing for the arrival of gods. The "Phoenix Mings, Roaring on the High Hill" in "The Book of Songs" also depicts the sacred image of the auspicious phoenix, which symbolizes good luck and auspiciousness.
In "Zhuangzi", immortals are described as beings that transcend the world. "On the mountain of Miaogushe, there are gods and men living there, with skin like ice and snow, and graceful like virgins." This description shows the otherworldly temperament of immortals.
"Chinese Immortals" is a novel based on ancient Chinese immortal legends. This book is based on "The Legend of Immortals" and combined with other ancient books and materials to carefully reconstruct the legendary stories of many famous immortals and their indissoluble bond with all things in the world.
