Because the junior middle school Chinese textbook contains Lu Xun’s prose "A Chang and the Classic of Bet365 app download and Seas"，So most Chinese people know that there is an ancient book called "The Classic of Bet365 app download and Seas"。Prose description of A Chang's gift of "The Classic of Bet365 app download and Seas" with pictures to Lu Xun，Painted with "Beast with a Human Face" and "Nine-Headed Snake"，Suddenly Lu Xun had "new respect" for his eldest mother，Calling her "has great divine power"，You can see how much magic the "Shan Hai Jing" with pictures has on children。In fact，"The Classic of Bet365 app download and Seas" has an inseparable connection with pictures。

　Pictures and texts: the original form of "The Classic of Bet365 app download and Seas"

When the ancients read the text of "The Classic of Bet365 app download and Seas"，Realize that the original form of "The Classic of Bet365 app download and Seas" should be a combination of words and pictures。Zhu Xi of the Song Dynasty said in the "Book of Bet365 app download and Seas": "I have tried to read the chapters of "Shan Hai"，Remember foreign objects flying away，Cloudy eastward，Or Yun Dong Shou，They are all certain and difficult shapes，The original version is based on the pictures，It is not actually recorded that this thing exists here。" (Volume 71 of "Hui'an Collection") first proposed the idea that the text of "Shan Hai Jing" is written based on pictures。Hu Yinglin in the Ming Dynasty had the same experience as Zhu Xi in reading "The Classic of Bet365 app download and Seas"，He said, “Uncle Zai’s average square plowing，讙 Doufang Fishing，The long-armed man holds a fish in each hand，Shu Hai’s right hand counts，Yi holds the bow and arrow，Chisel Teeth Holding Shield，These types of words are very different from chronicles。In modern times, monsters from "The Classic of Bet365 app download and Seas" were used as pictures，Italian Ancient Presence of Stitu，The author records this，So the meaning of the text should be corrected" ("Shaoshi Shanfang Bi Cong·Four Parts of Correct Corruption")。

Guo Pu in the Jin Dynasty was the first person to comment on "The Classic of Bet365 app download and Seas"，When he wrote annotations for "Feather People" in "Overseas Southern Classic", he said "the paintings are like immortals"，When "Xi Tou" made an annotation, he said, "The paintings also look like immortals"，The "Fire-hating Country" noted that "the painting resembles a monkey but is black"，When "Li Zhu" made an annotation, he said, "This picture is a red bird"。Tao Yuanming, who was later than Guo Pu, wrote in "Thirteen Poems of Readings from the Classic of Bet365 app download and Seas": "Reading the Biography of the King of Zhou，Flowing View of Bet365 app download and Seas。"Shows that the "Shan Hai Jing" he saw still has pictures。Although these ancient pictures of "The Classic of Bet365 app download and Seas" have now been lost，But it is certain that "The Classic of Bet365 app download and Seas" was originally in the form of pictures and texts。

　　Layman's conjecture: "Bad reviews" of "The Classic of Bet365 app download and Seas"

The "Book of Bet365 app download and Seas" we can see now are all works from the Ming and Qing Dynasties。There are two main versions in the Ming Dynasty，One is the two volumes of Hu Wenhuan's "The Classic of Bet365 app download and Seas" published in the 21st year of Wanli，Independent book。Its image does not match the scriptures of "Shan Hai Jing"，And some of the image contents are not found in the records of the modern "Shan Hai Jing"，There are even some images that are not within the scope recorded in "The Classic of Bet365 app download and Seas"。The other is Jiang Yinghao's "The Classic of Bet365 app download and Seas" published in the 25th year of Wanli。The difference from Hu Wenhuantu is，Jiang Ben’s image is attached to the scripture as an illustration，Coordinate with scripture，And the contents of all images are created based on the current scriptures of "Shan Hai Jing"。

Hu Wenhuan and Jiang Yinghao’s "Shan Hai Jing" pictures became popular，quickly received a positive response from the society。Some of the newly published "The Classic of Bet365 app download and Seas" followed their drawings，Some redrawing，It seems like we have returned to the era when the original "Shan Hai Jing" was full of pictures and texts。

However, what is surprising is，The "Book of Bet365 app download and Seas", which is very popular among readers, is in the eyes of scholars，But it’s a big “bad review”。The "Cumu" of "Sikuquanshu General Catalog" contains eighteen volumes of "Interpretations of the Classic of Bet365 app download and Seas" by Wang Chongqing of the Ming Dynasty，Picture Volume 2，The two volumes of pictures are drawn based on Jiang Yinghao's pictures。"Summary of the General Catalog of Sikuquanshu" says that "the pictures are also imaginary works by lay workers，Not as evidence”。"Sikuquanshu" contains the book "Guangzhu" of Shanhaijing by Wu Renchen of the Qing Dynasty，The book contains five volumes of "The Classic of Bet365 app download and Seas"，Most of them are based on Hu Wenhuan's drawings。The "General Catalog" says that "the old edition contains five volumes of "Pictures"，Divided into five categories，曰Lingzhi，said foreign land，曰Orc，said feathered bird，曰请uke，Yunben Song Xianping Shuya’s old manuscript，Zhang Sengyao of Yaben，It is said that the influence is vague，Wei Zhidao。The picture is also based on the meaning，Whether it is true or not, it is elegant and monkish，That is to say, the result is true，Why did the two of them draw this from what they saw。So now I only record the notes，Plan deleted”。The official of Siku said that "The Classic of Bet365 app download and Seas" was "imagined by lay workers in the book shop" or "made with intention"，Even deleted the first picture。"The Classic of Bet365 app download and Seas" is difficult to detect by the officials of Siku，Of course it is related to the tendency of scholars to emphasize text over pictures，But more importantly, they did not conduct in-depth research on "The Classic of Bet365 app download and Seas"，Failed to determine its value，Therefore gave an inaccurate evaluation。

　Using pictures to prove the text: The value of "The Classic of Bet365 app download and Seas"

"The Classic of Bet365 app download and Seas" from the Ming and Qing Dynasties，There are some types of paintings, such as Jiang Yinghao's paintings and Wang Fu's paintings, which are created based on the scriptures of the modern "Shan Hai Jing"，They have certain artistic value；Another category such as Hu Wenhuan's pictures are very different from the content of the current "Shan Hai Jing" text，The differences often preserve the information of the ancient "Shan Hai Jing"，Deserves attention。

(1) Three hundred miles south，It is said that there are birds Bet365 app download mountain that looks like a tree.，It looks like a chicken with rat hair，His name isRat，If you see it, there will be a severe drought Bet365 app download city。("Dongshan Jing") Hu Wenhuan and Wu Renchen's "Shan Hai Jing Tu"The rats all draw pictures that look like chickens，Plus a mouse tail，It can be seen that the author of the picture saw that the word "rat hair" in "The Classic of Bet365 app download and Seas" is written as "rat tail"，The description of the "rat" picture in the second volume of Hu Wenhuan's "The Classic of Bet365 app download and Seas" clearly states: "It looks like a chicken with a rat tail，NameRat，Seeing a severe drought in the country。”So which one is correct, “rat hair” or “rat tail”？When "The Classic of Bet365 app download and Seas" describes strange animals，There is often a main animal image，For exampleRat is chicken，Another head、Tail、The limbs may be images of other animals。The selection of other animals is not arbitrary，Instead, select the more distinctive parts of the animal，Like tiger claws、Ox tail, etc.。Comparatively speaking，The hair of a mouse is not as distinctive as the tail，Therefore, it is more likely that "The Classic of Bet365 app download and Seas" is written as "rat tail"。Rat, written in "Shuowen Jiezi" by Xu Shen Bet365 app download Han Dynasty "Bet365 app download", said: "Rat is like chicken，Rat Tail。"It can be seen that the "Shan Hai Jing" that Xu Shen saw is the "rat tail"，Proved the "Book of Bet365 app download and Seas"The rat tail of the rat bird is drawn based on the ancient book "The Classic of Bet365 app download and Seas"。

(2) West Fifty Miles，Bet365 app download said that the mountain of supporting pigs...is there any beast?，It looks like a raccoon dog with human eyes，His name is。("Zhongshan Jing") "Pictures of Bodies and Beasts" volume now in the Sackler Museum of Art in the United States，The front of the volume has the four characters "山海百灵"。Although the animals in the scroll have no names，But judging from the image，Some of these strange animals come from "The Classic of Bet365 app download and Seas"。There is a picture of an animal with eight eyes，None of them appear in other "Shan Hai Jing Tu"。This eight-eyed animal is actually from "The Classic of Bet365 app download and Seas"Beast。The current version of "The Classic of Bet365 app download and Seas" is written as "human eye"，The "Book of Bet365 app download and Seas" seen by the author of "Pictures of Fan Beasts" obviously writes "eight eyes"，So which one of the two is correct？Guo Pu's "Book of Bet365 app download and Seas Illustrated Praise" says: "There are beasts with eight eyes，Jue number:。""Tuzan" is written based on the scriptures of "Shan Hai Bet365 app download"，It can be seen that the "Shan Hai Bet365 app download" that Guo Pu saw was written as "Eight Eyes"。"Jade Chapter·Deer Department"""Word, "Guangyun·Zhenyun"""The words quoted from "Shan Hai Bet365 app download" are all written as "like a raccoon dog with eight eyes"，It can be proved that the ancient version of "Shan Hai Bet365 app download" writes "Eight Eyes"，Therefore in "Picture of Fan Beasts"The beast is drawn based on the ancient book "The Classic of Bet365 app download and Seas".

Judging from the examples given above，"The Classic of Bet365 app download and Seas" can be used to correct errors in the current version of "The Classic of Bet365 app download and Seas"，Therefore it has extremely high documentary value。

Not only that，"The Classic of Bet365 app download and Seas" also reflects the outstanding artistic imagination and creativity of the ancients，Has high artistic aesthetic value，That’s why it can be widely spread among the people。What impressed the young Lu Xun deeply in "The Classic of Bet365 app download and Seas" was the "human-faced beast" and the "nine-headed snake"，The "nine-headed snake" refers to Xiang Liu；The "human-faced beast" includes "cunning mantle" and "mountain"” and “horse belly” etc.。I believe that when people today see these pictures，Will also leave a deep impression，This is the embodiment of the artistic value of "The Classic of Bet365 app download and Seas"。
