Today, the editor of chinastory.com will bring you the amazing secrets in the classic of mountains and seas, hoping to help you.
The classic of mountains and seas is an ancient book in China that describes ancient legends and monsters. It is also a fantastic book. It records many popular ancient myths, legends, fables and strange rare birds and animals. Because of this, Ji Xiaolan classified the book of mountains and seas as a ghost log and listed it as a banned book when compiling the Siku Quanshu.
The classic of mountains and seas plays an important role in Chinese literary circles. Under the condition of underdeveloped ancient culture, science and technology and transportation, the classic of mountains and seas is a wonderful book with the most myths recorded in China, and it is also an encyclopedia of geographical knowledge. Therefore, the book of mountains and seas is also considered to be the earliest geographical document in the world, and almost every end of the story in the book will describe the total distance from the first mountain to the last mountain, recording almost all the mountain directions.
However, with the continuous progress of modern scientific research, geographers gradually found that many of the terrain features recorded in the book of mountains and seas were real as early as ancient times or now. It was only due to the movement between plates that their geography was different from that of today. Scientists believe that what is recorded in the book of mountains and seas is not fiction. If you only look at China, it may be difficult to find, but if you look at the world, it can be well confirmed.
According to the book of mountains and seas, “in the southwest corner, there are people like charcoal.” In China, Southwest China now generally refers to Sichuan, Guizhou and other places, but there are few black people here. But looking at the world map, the southwest happens to be the current African region, which is near the equator, and there are indeed many blacks. The book of mountains and seas also records: “there is a Lilliputian state called the state of fluke, which has several surnames, and Jiagu is food.”
The Lilliput is also called dwarves. In Chinese historical materials, there are records about the migration of dwarves. It is said that in the Tang Dynasty, more than 20000 dwarves migrated westward, with cars and ponies, in an endless stream, passing through Chang’an for twoorthree days and nights, and finally arrived in Guinea in North Africa.
Now there are pygmies in Guinea, who are three feet tall, that is, one meter tall. Moreover, Guinea was originally a “country of a few people”, and we can also understand that pygmies are the kindred of dwarves in a lucky country. In other words, many of the things recorded in the book of mountains and seas may be true. Even if they are now extinct, at least they once existed. However, the question of when the book of mountains and seas was created and who the author is still unknown. Perhaps these mysteries will not be revealed until later, when our science has developed to a certain extent.
