"The Classic of Mountains and Seas" is a record of China's mythology, geography, plants, animals, minerals, products, witchcraft, religion, medicine', folk customs, ethnic works, about from the early years of the Warring States period to the early years of the Han Dynasty, Chu and Bashu people made, modern Chinese scholars generally believe that the "Classic of Mountains and Seas" is not a time, the author is not a person, is an absurd book in ancient times, and some people think that it is an ancient landscape and physical history. After the Western Han Dynasty Liu Xiang and Liu Xin's father and son proofread the book, they were compiled together.

"The Classic of Mountains and Seas" has a total of 18 volumes, which are divided into "The Classic of Mountains", "The Book of the Sea" and "The Book of Waste". It records the legends of China's ancient mountains and rivers, local folk customs, product resources and a large number of gods and ghosts. The Book of Mountains is based on the mountains and rivers of the four directions, and the content of the description includes ancient history, plants and trees, birds and beasts, myths, religions, etc. In addition to the geographical location, the "Sea Classic" also records the appearance and style of strangers in distant countries. In the case of underdeveloped ancient culture, science and technology and 'communication', "The Classic of Mountains and Seas" is an encyclopedia of tourism and geographical knowledge, and in fact, it is also an ancient book with the most recorded myths in China.

There are 18 existing chapters in the book "The Classic of Mountains and Seas", and it is said that there are 22 original chapters and about 32,650 words. It is divided into two large parts, "The Book of Mountains" and "The Book of the Sea", and is the oldest strange book rich in myths and legends. A total of 5 articles of "Mountain Classic", 4 articles of "Overseas Classic", 4 articles of "Sea Classic", and 5 articles of "Great Wilderness Classic" are collected. "Hanshu Art and Literature Chronicles" contains 13 articles when this book is published, and the "Great Wilderness Classic" and "Hainei Jing" are not counted, and some people believe that these 5 articles were added by Liu Xiang and his son in the Western Han Dynasty. The content of the book is a group of 5 articles of the "Book of Mountains" and 4 articles of the "Overseas Classic", 4 articles of the "Sea Classic", and 4 articles of the "Great Wilderness Classic" and 1 article of the "Sea Classic" at the end of the book. The organizational structure of each group has its own beginning and end, and it is coherent, with an outline and a purpose. The "Classic of Mountains" mainly records the geography of mountains and rivers, the distribution of flora, fauna and minerals, etc.; the "Overseas Classic" in the "Classic of the Sea" mainly records the strange features of overseas countries; the "Classic of the Sea" mainly records the miraculous things in the sea; and the "Classic of the Great Wilderness" mainly records many important mythological materials related to the Yellow Emperor, Nuwa and Dayu.

The book records these things by region, not by time. Most of the recorded things start from the south, then west, then north, and finally reach the central part of the continent (Kyushu). Kyushu is surrounded by the East China Sea, the West Sea, the South China Sea, and the North Sea. Ancient China has always regarded the Classic of Mountains and Seas as a historical and essential reference book for Chinese historians of all generations. Due to the long history of the book, even Sima Qian thought when he wrote "Historical Records": "To "Yu Benji", all the monsters in "The Classic of Mountains and Seas" dare not speak." "It has important reference value for ancient history, geography, plants, animals, culture, 'communication', folklore, and mythology. "The Classic of Mountains and Seas" is actually an ancient book with the most recorded myths in China.

Myths such as Kuafu's day-by-day, 'female' Wa mending the sky, 'Jing' Wei reclamation, Dayu's water control, Gonggong hitting the sky, and Houyi's 'shooting' for nine days are indeed from the Classic of Mountains and Seas, and some people question that they come from "Huainanzi", which is incorrect. "Huainanzi", also known as "Huainan Honglie" and "Liu Anzi", is a collection of essays created in the Western Han Dynasty of China, and is said to be adapted from "Lü's 'Spring' Autumn". And the "Classic of Mountains and Seas" has been circulated as early as the pre-Qin period, and it is obvious from the chronological order.

It's just that Xu Yang received this book of mountains and seas, and it was different. This silk silk is by no means from the Western Han Dynasty, and the ability tells him that this is an earlier period. What's more, Xu Yang found that the silk silk in his hand was not an ancient silk brocade. He couldn't tell what it was.

Soon the lawyer came, and the lawyer was sent by Xu Yang to Liu Siyan. No matter what people say, they are also professional, and they will soon follow Xu Yang's requirements. A paper contract was written quickly. Xu Yang asked this little white-collar worker during this period. Whether he wants cash or transfers. Cui Xiaobai's white-collar workers were not worried about Xu Yang deceiving him at all. Just say the transfer.

After the contract was written, Xu Yang asked Cui Xiaobai again if he regretted it, but looking at the impatient look, he knew that the other party could not regret it at all, so he was afraid that Xu Yang would regret it. The two signed the contract, and Xu Yang transferred the account through the computer. Now the set of "Classic of Mountains and Seas" has been completely owned by Xu Yang.

"Brother Cui, you can play casually here, if you want to make a friend, you can make a friend. You can use it here until tomorrow night. I can't wait to give this good thing to my old man now. Rest assured, now we have signed the contract. Whether it's true or bad, I won't regret it. Just put it in play. ”

Xu Yang 'handed over' and left in a hurry. Xu Yang came directly to the Red Plum Hall. He wanted to go home, but he knew it wasn't safe. It's that this baby is not safe.

I seem to be really lucky these days. Last time, I got a gold-threaded 'jade' garment. Although the source has not been verified yet, the 'jade' dress is definitely a priceless treasure. Today I got another set of "The Classic of Mountains and Seas", although I don't know which version of the "Classic of Mountains and Seas" this is, Xu Yang already has a feeling, this may be the original version of the "Classic of Mountains and Seas", if that's the case, the things in his hands are irreplaceable both in terms of economic value and historical value.

drove all the way back to the Hongmei Hall with a lightning flash, and Xu Yang was really 'excited'. This set of books should be called by the gods who have been preached all along. If this is a fantasy, then what Xu Yang has now is the invincibility of the artifact, but it is just a city with a little bit of magical 'color'.

Steward Xu had already heard from the people at the outer 'door' that Xu Yang had come back. After Xu Yang got out of the car, he immediately greeted him and said, "Young Master, who are you?"

"Uncle Xu, it's okay, I just got a good thing, and now I'm in a hurry to come back and identify it. I'll go to the basement in a minute. By the way, don't spare me at night, no matter who comes. Also, if they come, you say that I have to study something these days, and if I don't come out two days before the engagement, you must call them out. The big engagement is the big deal. ”

After the 'delivery' was finished, Xu Yang went directly to the basement, originally he wanted to call in person, but he wanted to waste a lot of time to call. Just let Steward Xu do it directly. This also shows how anxious Xu Yang is now, and it can be said that this is the most anxious Xu Yang in recent years.

Xu Yang started the appraisal carefully and carefully without anyone to spare him this time. Now this set of "Classic of Mountains and Seas", when it comes to identification, the ability can not be of much help. The reason is that among the abilities, many key things are all "??" at a glance, so this requires Xu Yang to rely on his own ability.

This set of mountain classics includes two parts: "Mountain Classics" and "Sea Classics": "Mountain Classics" is divided into "South Mountain Classics", "West Mountain Classics", "North Mountain Classics", "East Mountain Classics", "Zhongshan Classics" 5 parts, so "Mountain Classics" is also called "Five Zang Mountain Classics" (or "Five Tibetan Mountain Classics", Zang, Tibetan are ancient and modern characters).

The "Classic of the Sea" is divided into "The Classic of Overseas", "The Classic of the Sea", and "The Classic of the Great Wilderness". The "Overseas Classics" includes four parts: "Overseas South Longitude", "Overseas West Longitude", "Overseas North Longitude", and "Overseas East Longitude"; "Sea Inner Classic" includes four parts: "Sea South Longitude", "Sea West Longitude", "Sea North Longitude", and "Sea East Longitude"; "Great Wilderness Classic" includes five parts: "Great Wilderness East Longitude", "Great Wilderness South Longitude", "Great Wilderness West Longitude", "Great Wilderness North Longitude", and "Sea East Classic".

The structure of the chapters in the Classic of Mountains and Seas is different. Except for the following five chapters of the Great Wilderness Sutra, the order of its orientation is not the accustomed east, south, west, and north, but the south, west, north, and east that are contrary to the normal law. "The Classic of Mountains and Seas" is a work full of magical "color", the content is all strange, all-encompassing, contains a wealth of geography, mythology, folklore, history of science, religion, ethnology, medicine and other disciplines of valuable information, its academic value involves a number of disciplines, it is a large number, orderly record the content of the physical geography elements and human geography of China at that time.

Although the Classic of Mountains and Seas is not a pure geography book, its geographical connotation is the first 'nature', and it describes the geographical characteristics of various places in an orderly and orderly manner from all directions, including physical geographical features and human geographical features.

First of all, the "Classic of Mountains and Seas" has a physical geography account. This includes a large number of mountains, such as "Mt. Tangi", "Mt. Takiyo", "Mt. Aogaoka", and "Mt. Keo" and so on, and the naming of each mountain is based on the topography of the mountain, these mountains also reflect the trend of the mountain system, and extremely rich hydrological records, most of the rivers record the source and the place of infusion, the source of the river can be at a certain foot of the mountain, and its inflow is far away from this mountain, the narrator also notes the whole picture of the main stream of the river when recording the hydrology, although the passage of the river is not recorded, but some of the main streams such as the Yellow River and Weishui can be known from the flow of many tributaries into their main roads. The Classic of Mountains and Seas records the Fuliu River and the Seasonal River. The river that "sneaks down" is the subterranean river.

Xu Yang looked at it, and began to query the computer and related geographical information, I don't know, the more I check, the more frightened, how did the ancients do it?

Xu Yang couldn't believe that the ancients could mark all geographical locations so accurately without any scientific instruments. It's as if you've measured it yourself. How did they do it, Xu Yang suddenly found that he had found the goal of identifying antiques, and his idea was that he should restore those ancient 'essence' that had disappeared.

Studying antiques for so long, Xu Yang has always known himself as a hobby, and he has never found a goal, and now there is a lofty goal that is quietly forming in Xu Yang's heart!
