Some people use it to control water, others use it to tell fortune. What book is it?

Shan Hai Jing is one of the oldest pre-Qin ancient books in China. Who wrote this book is a historical mystery. It is said that it was written by Dayu and Boyi. Dayu is the man who is familiar with water conservancy. Boyi was the consul of Dayu and the ancestor of Qin and Zhao.

Of course, it is said that it was written by Zou Yan during the Warring States Period. Zou Yan was a representative figure of Qi and Yin and Yang in the Warring States Period. He is most famous for putting forward the Five Elements Theory, which has always influenced China for thousands of years. Friends who have seen Qin Xun Ji are probably familiar with him.

The most brain-opening thing is that someone actually verified that it was done by a Tianzhu person. I'm afraid this can only be a family statement. However, most scholars believe that it is not an overnight work, but a work that has been painstakingly managed by many generations.

Judging from the title of the book, there are mountains and seas, and "Jing" is a monograph. Literally, this is a geography book, not a novel.

It is not surprising to ask this question, because there has never been any dispute about the classification of Shan Hai Jing, a rare book in the pre-Qin period, because Shan Hai Jing involves many fields and industries, including Shan Hai Jing 18, Shan Hai Jing 5, Hai Jing 8 and Ye Jing 4.

It records more than 100 countries, more than 500 mountain names and more than 100 waterways. Structurally, it is not only a standard geography book in ancient times.

At the same time, the book also puts forward the view that the world is limited (28,000 miles between heaven and earth and 26,000 miles between north and south), which is an important achievement in the history of ancient geography in China.
