Please describe your unique view of Shan Hai Jing, thank you.

Shan Hai Jing is an ancient book written by many people from the early Warring States to the early Han Dynasty. The author is probably a Chu native. Shan Hai Jing is a book with myth as the mainstream, and its content covers a wide range. It not only preserves a lot of mythological materials, but also involves all aspects of academic fields, such as religion, philosophy, history, ethnology, astronomy, geography, zoology, botany, medicine and hygiene. This book is all-encompassing and can be called an encyclopedia of daily life at that time. There are a lot of things used for offering sacrifices to the gods, such as chickens, dogs, sheep, ghosts, bees, Zhang, etc., among which the word "Yi" appears most in the scriptures. "Hey, polished rice, enjoy God." That is to say, wizards use polished rice to enjoy the gods. In The Classic of Mountains and Seas, there are many descriptions of gods, such as medicines, curses, gods and monsters. Therefore, Lu Xun said in A Brief History of Chinese Novels that it was a book of ancient wizards, which should be regarded as a theory of equality. Mr. Yuan Ke once said in the preface to the collation of Shan Hai Jing: "Shan Hai Jing is a land of myths." Scholars who have been studying China's mythology have recognized that Shan Hai Jing is the "deep house" (treasure house) of China's mythology. In A Brief History of Chinese Novels, Mr. Lu Xun also said that The Classic of Mountains and Seas "covered the ancient sorcerer's book" and in China Literature Outline "covered it to remember the gods". It is enough to prove that Shan Hai Jing is an ancient book with great mythological research value. Shan Hai Jing can be divided into the following parts: 1. There are five articles in the Book of Five Tibetan Mountains, accounting for more than two thirds of the book. The content is about the geography of mountains and rivers, the rituals and things used to worship the gods, and occasionally describes the appearance and strength of the gods in mountains and rivers. 2. Overseas classics, four articles; There are many different people and foreign objects in overseas countries, and some ancient myths are described in sections, such as Kuafu's pursuit of the sun and the decapitation of Xingtian. Three. There are four classics of the sea; The content is to remember the magical things in the sea, such as the scene of Kunlong, the shape of building wood, Bashu, Raytheon and so on. Four. There are five books of divination; It is divided into four chapters of Da Yi Jing and one chapter of Hai Nei Jing. There are some myths about the Emperor and the Yellow Emperor (the gods worshipped by these two ancient nations). This classic is the most primitive and well-preserved mythological material. Most of the important mythological materials are almost extracted here, and this part of the writing period may be earlier than other parts of the classics. Thirteen articles, from the Sixth Overseas South Classic to the 18th Overseas Classic, referred to as the Sea Classic for short. Together with the previous Five Zang Mountain Classics, namely Mountain Classics, the total name is Shan Hai Classics and Myth Nature 1. All the religious activities of wizards shown in the religious book Shan Hai Jing are really ubiquitous and difficult to win. For example, in the Classic of Mountains and Seas, there are a series of different rituals of mountain gods behind each section, not only like Mr. Lu Xun said, "ritual gods combine polished rice with witchcraft", but also what are there in the rituals, such as "beating drums and dancing with chickens", "dancing with witches" and "dancing with two people", such as mountain gods and mountain gods. Those people have deer bodies. 2. The Historical Classic of Mountains and Seas contains some genealogies, including those of Emperor Jun, Emperor Yan and Huangdi. Other history books also have some genealogies of emperors. If we compare the two, we will find an interesting fact: myth and history are actually synchronized. This can prove that primitive people took the myth of word of mouth as their own history. In some ethnic groups, wizards worship gods in temples to sing creation epics and heroic epics, telling how heaven and earth were opened up, how human beings were born, and telling the achievements and heroic deeds of ancestors, which were regarded as history by early people, but they are all myths. This can prove that in ancient times, myth and history came down in one continuous line. 3. The relationship between geographical myth and geography is more closely seen in Shan Hai Jing. The whole Shan Hai Jing can be said to be a mythical geography book. Take, for example, Yu's record of managing water and seeking talents. Yu gave a mythical description of what he passed through, east, west, north and south. Most of the place names and country names written in this paper can't be confirmed, and they can only be regarded as mythical geography. 4. The Classic of Mountains and Seas shows us a wealth of ethnology knowledge, which is of course full of myths, such as immortal, three kingdoms, long arm country, husband country, one-eyed country, boasting country, dog country, black country and so on. Just look at the name on it and you will know that it belongs to mythological ethnology. 5. Animals and plants The strange birds and animals, strange grass and strange trees recorded in Shan Hai Jing are mythical animals and plants; These exotic animals and plants have their own medical effects, which can cure all kinds of common and uncommon diseases, which has become a mythical medical and health care. For example, there is an animal that can make people not fart when eaten; There is a kind of Kyubi no Youko fox that people can eat to ward off evil spirits. Some animals are like sheep. Kyubi no Youko has four ears. Others are shaped like turtles, but they have bird heads. All kinds of grotesque animals are very interesting. 6. Astronomy and meteorology, such as He's birthday and bathing day, Chang's birth month and bathing month, the 10th day of Tang Dynasty, and Shi Yi's The Length of the Sun and Moon, etc. Another example is Wild East longitude, which records that there are six mountains from the sun and the moon: Dayan Moutain, He Xiushan, Mingxing Mountain, Yuling Mountain, Yitian Yimen Mountain and Heming Junji Mountain; There are also six mountains in the Wild West Classic: Jiu Feng Meet Mountain, Longshan Mountain, Mingshan Mountain, Gaoju Mountain, Changyang Mountain and Wild Mountain. In addition, it is also recorded in the scripture that whenever a god enters or exits a mountain or an abyss, it will be accompanied by wind and rain. And when this god appears, it will bring floods and so on. 7. Philosophy, such as our daily life, the reclamation of Jingwei, the breaking of farmland, the birth of Yu, and so on. They all inspire people's self-improvement spirit and fighting spirit, but they are not boring preaching, but vivid artistic images reflected by myths. The most famous myth is that the foolish man moved mountains, which is actually an ancient myth and a myth with strong implications. The spirit it embodies is consistent with the spirit of Jingwei's reclamation. Quasi-Nanzi, which is close to Taoism, also records quite a few myths and legends. The four myths recorded in it: the female catastrophe, the Ten-Day Artillery, the * * * touching the mountain and the Goddess Chang'e flying to the moon, all have their own profound meanings. Shan Hai Jing is the oldest global geography book written by Professor Lu. I have bought and cooked books such as V, mythology and archaeology, and I have a strong interest in ancient history and mythology, so I have invested a lot of time in studying ancient books, and an inexplicable feeling of "seeking history" arises spontaneously. Among them, Shan Hai Jing gives me great doubts, because the academic circles all think Shan Hai Jing is a myth. However, after in-depth study, I found that this was not the case, because Shan Hai Jing was regarded as a "practical geography book" from the Shang Dynasty to the Warring States Period and even before Hu Yinglin in the Ming Dynasty. Hu regarded it as a wonderful book of ancient and modern times in his own opinion, and later generations regarded it as a complete collection of myths. I think so. Soon after, I read Professor Juxian Wei's book "China Discovered America", which aroused my ambition to restore "the ancient history of the world". However, I don't study history, and this idea is really overreaching. 1986, according to the records in the book, I carefully studied and drew my own map, and drew a map of mountains and seas beyond the territory of ancient China. At that time, I intuitively decided that Shan Hai Jing was not only the oldest geography book in China, but also the oldest global geography book, because its description was widely circulated all over the world. I deeply believe that this book not only describes the mountains, rivers, minerals, animals and plants in America, Asia and Europe, but also describes ancient customs and beliefs, which is not a "myth" generally recognized by modern scholars. Results I learned from the literature that in 1970s, the American Archaeological Society of the Book of Changes exhibited 1972 unearthed Chai H pottery in Arizona, Canada, Japan, Europe, Taiwan Province and other places, including a 7000-year-old Indian color engraved with the Book of Changes. After decades of textual research and fragments unearthed in San Diego, Hong Tianshui, an American Chinese archaeologist, found that the nine symbols are exactly the same as the ideographic symbols used in Banpo culture in China. After comparing the specimens of 1 13, and comparing the ideographic content of the symbols with China ancient books and the Book of Changes, he found that these colors should be clear evidence that China people migrated from the ancient Banpo clan to America. In addition, Tana, a professor of human archaeology at Arizona State University, based on the examination of the teeth and bones of 9,000 American Indians, Aleutians and Eskimos before Columbus, came to the conclusion that American ancestors came from northern China 20,000 years ago. He thinks that the immigrants from China may be divided into three groups. One group migrated through the southern edge of the Bering Strait Continental Bridge, the Nadine Indians in the northwest of the United States came to America from the Siberian jungle through the northern edge of the Continental Bridge, and the other group crossed the ocean in search of the ocean. Earth science has confirmed that the Bering Strait originally connected Asia and the American continent, and this land bridge was submerged by the melting of huge glaciers and rising sea levels 14000 years ago. And 10 years ago, some European and American scholars thought through textual research that about 3,000 years ago, that is, at the end of Shang Dynasty, a group of China people came to Mexico because a strange bronze statue of the goddess was unearthed in Peru, with bronze medals in both hands, on which three Chinese characters of the Northern and Southern Dynasties were cast. A tombstone of the "Apocalypse Man's Tomb" was found in Mexico, which was verified as the buried bone of the Apocalypse Man who crossed the ocean from Shandong Peninsula to America in the Warring States Period or the end of Qin Dynasty. Dr. moriarty of the University of San Diego in the United States studied the ancient stone anchors and 65,438+065,438+0 big stones found off the coast of California, and thought that they were evidence of early China people crossing the Pacific Ocean, because by comparing ancient cultural relics and physical objects, as well as the appraisal of American scientific institutions, it was determined that this stone anchor "does not exist in the Pacific coast of North, but is the same as limestone produced in the coastal areas of South China" and should be five stone anchors and their accessories. With these archaeological discoveries in American academic circles, my interest in the study of ancient human activities has increased, and I am more sure that Shan Hai Jing is a world geography book, which I have been obsessed with for more than ten years. In recent years, by studying the ancient history, we know that China's maritime navigation began in the late Neolithic period, and the paddle unearthed 7,000 years ago on the east coast of the mainland proved this possibility. Archaeology has known that the use of bronzes in the Yin and Shang Dynasties has the ability to improve canoes into wooden boats with strong stability and heavy load. Studying ancient books, we know that when the King of Wu attacked Zhou, thousands of soldiers and horses crossed the Yellow River and Jin Meng in one day, with only 47 ships. The records in Historical Records of Zhou Benji have already reflected the grand occasion, speed and draft of the ship that King Wu took. Therefore, I personally think that "Yin people's eastward crossing" may choose the Aleutian Islands route of China Eastern Airlines, the most reasonable coastal island at that time, because this sea route is not only more convenient than land (Bering Strait Continental Bridge), but also Yin people are used to sailing. At that time, I knew that the sail was used as the power, and there were more rudders to master the course. Besides, I studied ancient astronomy, and I know that Yin astronomy can already detect new stars, and there are also early astronomical navigation technologies, which can be judged by American anchor sinking. But why did the Yin people cross the ocean? Because before King Wu of Zhou cut Zhou, the army had been left in the conquered "Ren Fang" (now Shandong Province), and when the Shang Dynasty perished, the Yin people fled overseas in large numbers, which became normal. Moreover, it set sail from Shandong Peninsula, crossed Japan to the east, crossed the Kuril Islands and Aleutian Islands to the north, crossed the Bering Strait Continental Bridge at the junction of Asia and America, crossed Alaska, went south to Canada and the United States on the west coast of America, arrived in Mexico, and then went south to Peru in South America. Along this route, there are land islands, fish, birds and fruits to eat, as well as Kuroshio warm current, which is smooth all the year round and there is no difficulty for wooden boats to sail. Later generations of nautical scholars and shipbuilding scholars also made many experiments with wooden boats to confirm this point. So I am very interested in the migration of ancient Yin people to America. 198 1 I read Professor Zheng Dekun's Collection of Historical Geography of China, and learned that Wang Jing was in charge of water conservancy when Emperor Hanming was in the Eastern Jin Dynasty, and Ming Di gave him Shan Hai Jing and other books. It can be seen that Shan Hai Jing was a practical geography book at that time, but this concept has not changed since Han Shu and Old Tang Shu nearly 900 years ago, and even in the Ming Dynasty. However, in Hu Yinglin's Fang Shanzhi of Shao Shi, The Classic of Mountains and Seas is regarded as a wonderful book of ancient and modern times, which distorts the traditional concept of treating the Classic of Mountains and Seas as a geography book for thousands of years. In Qing Dynasty, Sikuquanshu was revised, and Shan Hai Jing was classified as novella. Since then, Shan Hai Jing has been regarded as a fantastic (mythical) book by later generations. I find it strange that a geography book that has been circulated for thousands of years was distorted into a wonderful book by a scholar of the Ming Dynasty. Later scholars not only did not restore the original appearance of Shan Hai Jing, but also studied geography. How can it be called historical research? This thought of "indignation", coupled with the archaeological discovery of Yin people going abroad, made me combine these two thoughts 10 years ago, and then made a deep study of Shan Hai Jing, and drew ancient maps one by one according to the classics, and compared them with modern precision maps. In a word, Dongshan Jing tells the west coast geography from Alaska, Canada, North America to South America. Nanshan Jing is the geography of Indochina Peninsula in Asia. Overseas South Classics and Domestic South Classics have been described to the Red Sea in the Middle East. The Wild South Sutra is described in the Bay of Bengal; Xishan Jing describes the geography of North China; Overseas western classics and domestic western classics describe the geography of Central Asia; The Wild West Classic is described as far away as the Mediterranean Sea. Therefore, we can learn about ancient global geography, navigation technology and customs by studying Shan Hai Jing. If compared with modern geography, it is in line with the promotion of the concept of "global village" at present, which is worth pondering in the world today.
