The Classic of Mountains and Seas is a strange book, why can t you find animals in the book in reali

Because the Book of Mountains and Seas is a mythological story in a way, the images in it may be imagined by the author and do not exist, so many animals cannot be found in reality, but now that the Sanxingdui civilization has been developed, there seem to be relevant records in it.

In fact, it's not that you can't find it, many of the species in the Classic of Mountains and Seas actually have prototypes in the real world. For example, Flying Fish. But every species is constantly evolving, and it is possible to evolve into the current species.

Because the Classic of Mountains and Seas is originally a text similar to **, the content is made up by the author with imagination, so it does not exist in reality.

The events in the Classic of Mountains and Seas are very old, and the beast forms described in the middle have elements of legend, exaggeration, and imagination. Moreover, species change and extinction are also an important reason why the animals in the book cannot be found in reality.

It is real, but due to the long time, geographical changes, and the fact that people at that time wrote very mythical about many things they didn't understand, the world of the Classic of Mountains and Seas looks particularly fantastical.

We know that the Classic of Mountains and Seas was compiled from the Warring States Period to the early and middle Han Dynasty, which is too far away from modern times. At first, it was regarded as an ancient book of Zhiwei, but after some strange animals in the Classic of Mountains and Seas were discovered, some people discovered that the Classic of Mountains and Seas was not a completely fictional material.

The Book of Mountains and Seas records animals such as pufferfish, baby fish, and parrots. Some of these animals are more anthropomorphic, while others are a combination of the characteristics of many other common animals. In the eyes of some, this is an impossible animal.

It is because of people's subjective thoughts that the Classic of Mountains and Seas is regarded as a strange material, and no one has really studied the animals that exist in it. With the gradual development of science and technology in modern times, some scholars have discovered that some of the animals recorded in the Classic of Mountains and Seas are real.

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, and the hand-me-down version has a total of 18 volumes, including 5 volumes of the "Classic of the Mountains" and 13 volumes of the "Classic 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.

Now it can be seen that the earliest version is Jin Guopu's "The Legend of Mountains and Seas". However, the title of the book "Classic of Mountains and Seas" is mentioned in the "Historical Records", and the earliest book included is "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.
