Classic of Mountains and Seas

Chinese classic and compilation of myth

The Classic of Mountains and Seas, also known as Shanhai jing (Chinese: 山海经), formerly romanized as the Shan-hai Ching, is a Chinese classic text and a compilation of mythic geography and beasts. Early versions of the text trace back to the 4th century BCE, but the present form was not reached until the early Han dynasty. The book is divided into eighteen sections; it describes over 550 mountains and 300 channels.
