The Demon of Homeland
Literature故国之妖
Sheng Wenqiang
"Monsters of the Motherland" is a collection of anecdotes about ancient Chinese legends. It describes ancient Chinese monsters, including their names and habits, and there are images as evidence. Collecting long-standing anecdotes about monsters is similar to a jigsaw puzzle, in which the overall shape is restored from the broken fragments. The world of monsters is its own system, a transcendence of daily life and an allegory of daily life. His writing connects and contrasts the distant and strange ancient world with our lives today. It is a new way for us to understand and define tradition. It is also a new exploration on the road of writing.
