When Lu Xun was a child, he was addicted to the "Classic of Mountains and Seas", and the human-faced beast, the nine-headed snake, the three-legged bird, and the immortal beasts in it fascinated Lu Xun to the point of being fascinated.
The Classic of Mountains and Seas records about 40 states, 550 mountains, 300 waterways, more than 100 historical figures, and more than 4,000 kinds of gods and strange beasts.
Those strange monsters alone can be amazing, and it really subverts traditional cognition. When Lu Xun was a child, he liked the picture book "The Classic of Mountains and Seas", which painted strange monsters and geographical environments, which was really vivid.
In modern times, there is really such a painter, which makes netizens marvel, just like really walking into the Classic of Mountains and Seas.
He is a young post-90s painter named Sugizawa, whose original name was Li Yifan. Through ordinary brushes and ordinary paints, he sketched a whole new world of monsters for people. With the painting of the Classic of Mountains and Seas, I have successfully absorbed tens of millions of powders!
The "Hundred Ghosts of China" series he created is based on this "Classic of Mountains and Seas". He painted the strange beasts inside to life, and the exquisite portraits made us lament that the strange beasts in the Classic of Mountains and Seas have been resurrected!
On Zhihu, I saw a netizen comment on Sugizawa's works:
"The painting style is delicate and feminine, with big ups and downs, the characters exude a calm aura, and the background looks like a sense of purification of the emptiness, which makes me think that if life has a form, it should be like this."
This can't help but make Lao Gu want to read the "Classic of Mountains and Seas" again, this time not to read those complicated texts, but to appreciate the strange monsters inside, and there are many geographical environments.
For example, the strange beasts in the Classic of Mountains and Seas are poor
There are beasts, whose name is horse belly, whose shape is like a human-faced tiger's body, whose sound is like a baby, and who is a man-eater.
There is a beast, called "horse belly", which is shaped like a human-faced tiger's body, sounds like a baby, and eats people.
Look at the beast Whirling Turtle again
The Mountain of the Sun. Strange water comes out, and the east flows into the water of the constitutional wing. Among them, there are many turtles, whose shape is like a turtle and the head and tail of the bird, whose name is called the spinning turtle, whose sound is like a judgment wood, and the wear is not deaf, which can be the bottom.
Shan Yang Mountain. The strange water originates from this mountain and then flows eastward into the Xianyi Water. There are many dark red turtles in the water, shaped like ordinary turtles but with bird-like heads and snake-like tails, the name is a spinning turtle, the sound is like the sound made when splitting wood, wearing it can make people's ears deaf, but also heal the calluses on the soles of the feet.
There are many living beasts in the Shan Hai Jing, and these pass through the hands of this post-90s painter will simply make the Shan Hai Jing on fire!
Lao Gu I have always liked to read the picture book "Shan Hai Jing", after all, the original version of the "Shan Hai Jing" is really obscure, not only is it all literary, but there are few pictures that adults and children like.
I think that the Picture Book of The Classic of Mountains and Seas with rich pictures will not look boring, and it will add a lot of fun!
Many people will also ask Lao Gu, and they all know that this "Classic of Mountains and Seas" is not only a myth and legend, many of the strange beasts recorded in it are real, but they look really boring.
It is recommended that you take a look at the picture book "Shan Hai Jing" that I read, which has vivid and vivid beasts, not only a complete collection of the original content, but also a detailed vernacular annotation, the key is that there are rich illustrations, and the children at home can directly look at the pictures to know many kinds of strange beasts.
The exquisite illustrations bring the world of the Classic of Mountains and Seas to life, comprehensively presenting this beautiful ancient book.
The pictures painted by this post-90s painter are also included, and we can not only see the original Classic of Mountains and Seas, but also those beasts that make people see the immersive!
From the exquisite color pictures and detailed explanations, step into the strange world of mountains and seas.
When you're fine, pick up the book and read it and explore the quirky secrets of the Classic of Mountains and Seas. Enhance the cultivation of classical culture, relax the mood, and cultivate sentiments
After reading it, you can also tell the story to your child.
