The Monsters in Shan Hai Jing

In the world of "The Classic of Mountains and Seas", there are countless strange and bizarre spirits, which are vivid footnotes to ancient myths. There is the nine-tailed fox with nine tails, whose voice is like the cry of a baby, but it can predict good and bad luck; Bi Fang, who has the body of a bird and the face of a human, walks with fire in his mouth, and the flames are blazing wherever he passes; There is also the six-legged, four-winged, faceless Emperor River, which sings like a ballad; the Xiangliu tree with nine snakes around its head and a human face and a snake body, turning it into a swamp wherever it goes; and Bai Ze, who can speak human words and understand the emotions of all things, is a symbol of auspiciousness and wisdom. These spirits may be ominous or auspicious, strange or cunning, and carry the ancients' awe and imagination of nature. Each of them hides a mysterious legend, waiting to be explored and interpreted.
