As far as ancient China is concerned, the most famous is the Classic of Mountains and Seas, Huainanzi, and the naturalist records of the Western Han Dynasty are also good.

The Five Elements is an ancient Chinese view of matter. It is mostly used in philosophy, Chinese medicine and divination. The five elements refer to:

Metal, wood, water, fire, earth. It is believed that nature is composed of five elements, and with the rise and fall of these five elements, nature changes, which not only affects the fate of human beings, but also makes all things in the universe circulate. The Five Elements Theory holds that all things in the universe are composed of the movement (movement) and changes of the five basic substances of wood, fire, earth, metal, and water.

It emphasizes the concept of the whole, depicting the structural relationships and forms of movement of things. If Yin and Yang is an ancient doctrine of the unity of opposites, then the Five Elements can be said to be a primitive and ordinary system theory.

Chat about Zhai Zhiwei, Persona, Zi Buyu, Reading Wei Caotang Notes, Shen Wei Zhi, Mirror Flower Yuan, Hundred Ghosts Night Walk (Japan), etc., I personally recommend reading Wei Caotang and Zi Buyu! Persona and Persona are basically lost, and no bookstore is willing to print them!

The earliest myth in our country is the first myth**: "The Classic of Mountains and Seas" The first myth** collection: "Sou Shen Ji" If we understand the scope of mythology in a broad sense, in addition to the ancient myths and legends, the stories about gods, ghosts, and monsters created by literati in the past dynasties, that is, Zhiwei**, are also included, then the number is very large, and there are quite a lot of excellent works.

The myth began in the Wei and Jin dynasties. In these two generations, under the influence of Fang Tu thought and Taoist and Buddhist superstitions, some literati wrote stories of ghosts and spirits, many of which were rich in imagination and beautiful in writing. The more prominent ones are books such as "Sou Shen Ji" made by Gan Bao.

By the time of the Northern and Southern Dynasties, the trend of writing about strange things had not diminished. After the middle of the Tang Dynasty, many famous literati engaged in the writing of legends, which was the real beginning of China's **. The legends of the Tang Dynasty have a wide range of contents, involving all aspects of human conditions and social life.

In form, it is no longer a miscellaneous record of three words and two words, but a short story with a complete structure, a strong story, and a length of several thousand words or even about 10,000 words. Among these legends, there are quite a few wonderful stories of fairies and ghosts. The legend of the Song Dynasty is probably inherited from the tradition of the Tang Dynasty, although there are excellent works, but generally speaking, there is no prosperous situation in the Tang Dynasty.

In terms of **, an important contribution of the Song Dynasty was the compilation of an ancient ** collection - "Taiping Guangji". It contains about 7,000 works from the pre-Qin period, the two Han Dynasty and the early years of the Northern Song Dynasty, divided into 500 volumes, with a total number of nearly 3 million words, and a total of more than 340 kinds of books, many of which have long been lost, but fortunately some of them have been preserved thanks to the "Taiping Guangji". There are a considerable number of works about fairies and ghosts in the 7,000 stories.

The Song Dynasty already had stories written in the vernacular, commonly known"Script"。The most famous ** of the Yuan, Ming and Qing dynasties are long stories written in vernacular, such as "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", "Water Margin", "Journey to the West", "Confucian History", "Dream of Red Mansions" and so on. The collection is widely circulated"Three words"with"The short story ** of the second beat is also written in the vernacular.

At the beginning of the Qing Dynasty, there was another collection of Zhiwei ** written in ancient Chinese - Pu Songling's "Strange Tales from Liaozhai". The book was a hit and was universally praised. After that, there was also Ji Yun's "Notes on Reading Wei Caotang", which presided over the compilation of the "Siku Quanshu", which contained some rumors involving gods, foxes, ghosts, and monsters.

After Ji Yun, although there are still some myths or monsters written in ancient Chinese, there are not many that have a great impact.
