Recommend. The magical and magnificent pictures of the Classic of Mountains and Seas show us the world of images in the minds of the primitive Chinese ancestors, which are typical of the Chinese style in terms of shape, imagination and expression, primitive and rough, exaggerated and grotesque, frank and clumsy, and full of wildness. Chinese use these images to express their understanding of the relationship between man and nature, heaven, earth and man, and in this way communicate with heaven and earth, coordinate with nature, dialogue with mountains and rivers, and retain a large number of original thinking patterns and relics.

The classic map of mountains and seas reproduces the childhood dreams of the Chinese, which can be called the history of the Chinese nation's soul and the hymn of national vitality.

Personally, I think that Mr. Yuan Ke's "Complete Translation of the Classic of Mountains and Seas" can be better, first of all, Mr. Yuan's book, which is integrated in one book, and the content is concise, which is more helpful for quickly mastering the content of the Classic of Mountains and Seas. And Yuan Ke's academic method is in the same vein as Mr. Gu Jiegang, after all, the Classic of Mountains and Seas is an ancient book, and if you want to truly understand the content of the book, you still need a more rigorous academic method. In addition, the preface of this book also has an overall introduction to the "Classic of Mountains and Seas", which summarizes the main content of the book for you, which is worth in-depth reading.

In addition, the annotation basis of this book is relatively authoritative, which is worthy of reference by scholars.

The best book is Yuan Ke's "Notes on the Book of Mountains and Seas", the first edition was published by Shanghai Ancient Books, and the revised edition was published by the Bashu Publishing House, and the revised edition of the Bashu Publishing House is currently the best.

Both of these have proofnotes, research, and drawings, but both of them are literary, traditional, and vertical.

For the current version, I personally recommend "The Illustrated Illustration of the Ancient Book of Mountains and Seas (Revised Collector's Edition)", Ma Changyi, Guangxi Normal University Press. By the way, I recommend Ma Changyi and Liu Zongdi's books are quite good.

Among the ones you posted, the one from Yuelu Books is quite good, and the one from Nanhai Publishing House has a good reputation. Generally speaking, the books of Zhonghua Book Company are very good.,But it doesn't seem like this one.。。

These two versions are good, and Yuan Ke's may be more detailed in the annotations. Everything else is pretty much the same.

The essence edition of the Chinese People's Publishing HouseThe Classic of Mountains and SeasBest.

In this edition of the "Classic of Mountains and Seas" of the Chinese People's Publishing House, many ancient maps are collated and collected, and the annotations in the book are detailed, which is very valuable for collection and research.

If the reader is a visual animal and wants to understand the "Classic of Mountains and Seas" in the most beautiful way, this version is very good.

The Classic of Mountains and Seas is an important ancient book of pre-Qin China, and it is also the oldest strange book rich in myths and legends. The author of the book is unknown, and modern scholars believe that it was not written at one time, and the author is not alone.

The version of the "Classic of Mountains and Seas" is complex, with a total of 18 volumes, including 5 volumes of "The Classic of Mountains" and 13 volumes of "The Book of the Sea", and the age of each volume is inconclusive, of which 14 volumes are works of the Warring States period and 4 volumes are works of the early years of the Western Han Dynasty.

It can be seen that the earliest version is Jin Guopu's "The Legend of Mountains and Seas".

But the title of the book "Classic of Mountains and Seas" is "Historical Records".

It is mentioned that the earliest purpose of the book included was "Hanshu Art and Literature Chronicles".

As for its real author, the predecessors believed that it was Yu and Boyi, and it was edited by Liu Xiang and Liu Xin in the Western Han Dynasty to form a hand-me-down book.

The content of the Classic of Mountains and Seas is mainly the geographical knowledge of folklore, including mountains and rivers, geography, ethnicity, products, medicines, sacrifices, and witch doctors.

1. Ma Changyi's "Illustrated Illustration of the Ancient Book of Mountains and Seas". This is the number one recommendation.

Ma Changyi's "Illustrated Illustration of the Ancient Book of Mountains and Seas" (revised edition after 2007), Yuan Ke's "Proofreading of the Classic of Mountains and Seas", "Proofreading of the Classic of Mountains and Seas", "The Complete Translation of the Classic of Mountains and Seas", Xu Xianzhi's "Notes on the Classic of Mountains and Seas", Wang Hongqi and Sun Xiaoqin's "New Painting of the Divine Strange Complete Map of the Classic of Mountains and Seas" (with "Notes on the Classics of Mountains and Seas").

There are many versions of "The Classic of Mountains and Seas", and I personally think there are two better versions: one is the classic ** edition (hardcover) of Yuelu Books, and the other is the annotated version of Fang Tao of Zhonghua Book Company. In addition, the edition of the Shanghai Ancient Books Publishing House is also good.

The above comments are for your reference.

Personally, I think the "Classic of Mountains and Seas" of Shanghai Ancient Books Publishing House is quite good, and the title of the book is - Translation of the Classic of Mountains and Seas (upper and lower ** books). The quality of the paper is also very good, it turns out that I went to the bookstore several times, and it took me a week to buy this book, and I like it very much. As for authority, I think it is the most authoritative publishing house in China in terms of ancient book publishing.

Choose the children's version, it is better to have pictures and pinyin. Because there are many new words in the "Classic of Mountains and Seas", children can't understand it.

Comic version of "The Classic of Mountains and Seas". Nowadays, children read books in a wide range of areas, but the original "Classic of Mountains and Seas" is more jerky, and children can choose the comic version to read.

Yuan Ke's "Proofreading of the Classic of Mountains and Seas" is relatively easy for ordinary readers to get started, and the explanation is more accurate. That's the version I'm watching.

"National Classics Normative Reader: The Classic of Mountains and Seas (Color Picture Edition)" Feng Guochao's Translation Note [Abstract Book Review Sample] book.

The layout is relatively good, with phonetics, annotations and translations, which is suitable for ordinary readers.

Shanhai Jing Proofreading (Final Revised Edition)" Yuan Ke [Abstract Book Review Sample] book.

Vertical typesetting, suitable for readers who have a certain foundation in ancient Chinese.

The classic ** version of Yuelu Books is better, this version ** is lush, and it is very suitable for children to read.

The "Classic of Mountains and Seas" must be Chinese, and this version is very good, because the "Classic of Mountains and Seas" is the best thing in our country before.

I don't know the specifics, but from my experience, publishers such as Zhonghua Book Company and Shanghai Ancient Books Publishing House are more trustworthy.

Are there many versions, divided into the Book of Mountains and the Book of the Sea? Do it yourself.

I recommend you Shanghai Ancient Books Publishing House "** Ben Shan Hai Jing", which not only conforms to the records of ancient books, but also has exquisite pictures, and I personally use this version.

Yuelu Book Society. Yuelu Books publishes and reprints ancient books, such as "The Classic of Mountains and Seas", which are more professional and experienced (compared to 10,000 volumes.
