The study of the Maritime Silk Road is one of the hot spots in current academic research。"Hanshu Geography" records a barrier from Rinan、Xu Wen、Hepu Jingdu Yuanguo、Yi Lu Mo Country、陈丽国、Route from Gandulu to Huangzhi，Explanation from Guangdong bet365 live casino games Han Dynasty、The route from Guangxi to the Indian Ocean has been opened。Since "Historical Records" and "Hanshu"，There are endless books on the history of maritime transportation at home and abroad，According to these historical data，Historical researchers are enough to outline the history of maritime traffic between China and foreign countries after the Han Dynasty。The ancient book "The Classic of Mountains and Seas" preserves rich and reliable historical data on ancient maritime transportation，But it has always been regarded as an ancient witchcraft book、Zhiguai Yuansou，The ancient transportation historical materials bet365 live casino games book have never attracted the attention of the academic community。

"The Classic of Mountains and Seas" includes two parts: "The Classic of Mountains" and "The Classic of Seas"，"Shan Jing" takes mountains as the key link，Described twenty-six mountains、Animals from nearly five hundred mountains、Plant、Mineral、Drugs and other products，The Book of Seas is ordered by the four directions，Described bet365 live casino games sea、Overseas、Many mountains and rivers bet365 live casino games wild world、Fang Guo and gods and monsters、Birds and beasts、Myths, etc.，"Shan Jing" is a natural history of mountains and rivers，"Hai Jing" is an overseas ethnography。Records related to maritime traffic，Mainly found in "Haineijing"。"Hainei Classic" includes four chapters: "Hainei Southern Classic", "Hainei Western Classic", "Hainei Northern Classic" and "Hainei Eastern Classic"，The record is about the Central Plains and its surrounding Fang countries、Mountains and rivers。"Hainei Beijing" records the geography of the north，A series of circles around the Yellow Sea appear bet365 live casino games second half of this article、Fangguo in Bohai Sea、Place name。

　　The country of Gai is bet365 live casino games south of Juyan，北。Japanese Yan。North Korea is bet365 live casino games east of Lieyang，Haibei Shannan。Lieyang belongs to Yan。Lie Gu shot bet365 live casino games sea、Hezhou Middle。Gushe country is bet365 live casino games sea，Belongs to Liegushe，Southwest，Mountain Ring。Big crab bet365 live casino games sea。Lingyu human face，Siblings，Fish body，bet365 live casino games sea。Da Zhuo lives bet365 live casino games sea。Ming Dynasty group lives bet365 live casino games middle of the sea。Penglai Mountain bet365 live casino games sea。The city of adults is bet365 live casino games sea。

In this text，Yan is the State of Yan bet365 live casino games Zhou Dynasty，First sealed in Ji (southwest of today’s Beijing)，North Korea is now the Korean Peninsula，Penglai is now Penglai, Shandong。I know the location of these place names，It is not difficult to find the locations of several other place names。"The country of Gai is bet365 live casino games south of Juyan"，During the Warring States Period, the territory of Yan State extended east to northwest Korea，So called giant swallow。The country of Gai is bet365 live casino games south of Yan，It was an ancient country near the Gaima Plateau on the Korean Peninsula。"Japanese belongs to Yan"，Japanese refers to Japan’s Kyushu Island，Yan Kingdom and Kyushu Island face each other across the sea，With nothing but water，So it is said that "Japanese belong to Yan"，"Belonging" refers to the joint genus，Not referring to belonging。"North Korea is bet365 live casino games east of Lieyang"，"Liu" should refer to the water column，Also known as Lishui，The Taedong River that now flows through Pyongyang, the capital of North Korea，Lieyang may be the later Pyongyang。"Lieyang belongs to Yan"，Indicates that the territory of Yan State had expanded to the Datong River at that time。“Liegu shot into the sea、Hezhouzhong”，“River” is the specific name for the Yellow River in ancient books，"海、Hezhou" means that the sea and the river are connected by water，And Liegushe is above Zhouzhu in this water area，The sea that is the same as the Yellow River and near Yan State，Obviously the Bohai Sea，Then，Liegushe is an island bet365 live casino games Bohai Sea - Miaodao Islands。Miaodao Islands are listed from south to north at the mouth of the Bohai Sea，Just connects the Liaodong Peninsula and Shandong Peninsula，Since ancient times, it has been the only way for maritime transportation between Shandong and Northeast China。Because the Miaodao Islands are arranged in a straight line from north to south，So it is called "Lie Gushe"。A fairy is mentioned in "Zhuangzi Xiaoyaoyou"，“Skin as ice and snow，Nao Yue is a virgin，Do not eat grains，Suck the wind and drink the dew。Chengyunqi，Yu Feilong，And travel across the world”。This fairy lives in "Mountain of Miaogushe"，Liu Gushe is also Lie Gushe，Because the Temple Island Islands are located bet365 live casino games vast mist，It’s elusive，So it is also called "Miugushe"。"Big Crab", "Lingyu" and "Big Sword"，They are all marine life bet365 live casino games Bohai Sea。"The Ming Dynasty is located bet365 live casino games middle of the sea。Penglai Mountain bet365 live casino games sea。The city of adults is bet365 live casino games sea”，Ming Dynasty is a city on Miaodao Islands，Penglai Mountain is a mountain on the Miaodao Islands，The place name of today’s Penglai comes from this，The City of Adults is a market on the Temple Island Islands。These three places are all bet365 live casino games sea，But they should not be far from Penglai，They may all be located on Nanchangshan Island where the current headquarters of Changdao County in Shandong is located。

Visible，This passage from "Hai Nei Bei Jing"，Outlines a route starting from Kyushu Island, Japan，Via Korean Peninsula and Liaodong Peninsula，Then cross the Bohai bet365 live casino games via Miaodao Islands，The last bet365 live casino games line of communication arriving at Shandong Peninsula。This route follows the coast and islands，And it is parallel to the direction of the warm current around the Yellow bet365 live casino games，Form a natural bet365 live casino games route connecting Northeast Asia。Archaeologists at Temple Island Islands、Cultural relics of Dawenkou Culture and Longshan Culture have been discovered in Dalian Changshan Islands，Indicates that it was as early as the Neolithic Period，There are already boats going back and forth on the Miaodao Islands。

Record of the route to Miao Island in "The Classic of Mountains and Seas"，Not only found in "Hai Nei Bei Jing"，There are more detailed records bet365 live casino games "Dongshan Jing" of "Shan Jing"。"Dongshan Jing" records the mountain geography of Shandong Peninsula，The third "Eastern Classics" records nine mountains，Nine mountains arranged from north to south，The following are the Mountains of Corpse Hu、Qishan、Mountain of Zhuhoo、Zhongfu Mountain、Hu Shezhi Mountain、Mencius’ Mountain、Heeled Mountain、The Mountain bet365 live casino games Corner、Wugao Mountain。It’s worth noting，The scriptures call the nine mountains between them "water"，Going southward from Shihu Mountain for 800 miles is Qishan Mountain，Five hundred miles south by water from Qishan Mountain are the mountains of Zhugou... These nine mountains are actually islands bet365 live casino games sea，There are nine large islands bet365 live casino games Miaodao Islands located on the route to the Bohai Sea，These nine islands are the nine mountains bet365 live casino games "Eastern Three Classics"。The southernmost mountain is called Wugao Mountain，Climb this mountain，“Looking south to Youhai，Looking east at Emu"。Youhai is also Shaohai，Refers to Laizhou Bay in northeastern Shandong in ancient books，Zemu is also a support tree、Fuso，In ancient books, it refers to the place where the sun rises bet365 live casino games east，That is, Chengshantou at the easternmost point of Shandong Peninsula。In addition to describing the distance between the nine mountains、Relative bearing，The "Eastern Classics" also records the animals on the mountain、Plant、Landforms and water sources (springs)，This shows that the author of the book is very familiar with the geography of the Temple Island Islands。

"Book of the Later Han Dynasty·Biography of Dongyi" calls Fu Yu Guo "famous horse"、Akadama、Diao Xuan，Big beads like jujubes”，挹娄(Sushen) "Out of Red Jade、Good mink”，Dongwojuze produces "mink fish salt，Food from the sea”，Mink means fur。"Yu Gong" said: "Niaoyi leather clothing，Clip the right jieshi into the river。" "Guanzi·Kudu" says: "Fa、North Korea’s Wenpi。”I’m talking about coming from the Northeast、The Birds of Korea、Beifa、Businessmen from Korean and other ethnic groups，Carrying animal skins (leather clothing on boats)、文Pi) came to the Central Plains for trade。"The city of adults is bet365 live casino games sea" mentioned in "Hai Nei Bei Jing"，Obviously it is a trading market located overseas in Penglai。Because the Northeastern people are taller than the Central Plains people，So he is called "Sir"。"The Classic of Mountains and Seas" also records a "country of adults"，Other pre-Qin documents mention adults、长人、Chang Di，Also refers to the giants from the northeast。This "city of adults" located near Penglai，It should be the earliest free trade island recorded。

Jiaodong was an important silk producing area in ancient times，"Yu Gong" says: "Lai Yi as pastoralists，Juehuo Si。”The Jiaodong Peninsula belonged to Lai during the Spring and Autumn Period，Lai Yi is from Jiaodong。The oak tree，Also known as mountain mulberry，濪丝 is tussah silk。This record explains，Jiaodong has produced tussah silk since ancient times，Mulberry is a specialty of Laiyi，Since I can pay tribute to the court，Of course it can also be used for trade。Weifang area in northern Shandong，The tussah industry still exists today，Now listed as one of the national intangible cultural heritage items。Ancient times，Businessmen from the northeast and beyond brought furs，Change away from silk，The Silk Road forming a route around Northeast Asia。The Book of bet365 live casino games and Seas was written no later than the Warring States Period，The Northeast Asian trade route it records should have been opened long before the maturity of "The Classic of bet365 live casino games and Seas"，Should say，This is a Maritime Silk Road that is older than the Western Silk Road and the Southern Maritime Silk Road。

The ancient voyagers of Northeast Asia did not stop at Penglai，This route continues south along the west coast of the Pacific Ocean。"Hainei Eastern Classic" and "Hainei Southern Classic" continue the description of "Hainei Northern Classic"，Mentions a series of place names located bet365 live casino games sea: Langyuntai、Yuzhou、Cangwu、Han Yan、Shijiu、Yuan Li、Kuiji Mountain、瓯、闽、Santianzi Zhangshan、Fan Yu and others。Of these place names，Han Yan、Shijiu、Yuanli cannot be tested now。Langyantai should be Langyatai bet365 live casino games south of Qingdao，This has been a seaside resort since ancient times，Gou Jian once built his capital here，Qin Shihuang once offered sacrifices to gods here，Leaved the famous Langya carved stone。Yuzhou、Cangwu is located bet365 live casino games current Lianyungang，Kuiji Shandang is an island near Shaoxing, Zhejiang，Probably today’s Zhoushan Islands。瓯、Min and today are the abbreviations of Wenzhou City and Fujian Province respectively，Ou in Dan、Fujian is bet365 live casino games sea，Referring to today’s Wenzhou、Two islands off the coast of Fuzhou。The Third Son Zhangshan is also bet365 live casino games sea，It is difficult to determine which island it refers to，It should be an island off the coast of Zhejiang。Panyu is Panyu，Panyu, the ancient name of Guangzhou，Qin Shihuang built Nanhai County，Panyu is the capital。These records in "Hainei East Jing" and "Hainei South Jing" show that，This route starting from Northeast Asia continues southward via the southeastern coast of Shandong Peninsula，Via Jiangsu、Zhejiang、Islands along the coast of Fujian，Extending to the coast of Guangdong，From the Yellow Sea、Bohai，Via East China Sea，Finally entering the South China Sea。

The records in "The Classic of Mountains and Seas" also reveal news from farther south and even the Indian Ocean。As the "Hai Nei Jing" says: "Within the East China bet365 live casino games，The corner of the North bet365 live casino games，There is a country called North Korea、Sky Poison，He lives in water，Snuggling and loving。"Guo Pu of Jin Dynasty noted: "North Korea，Today’s Lelang County。Sky Poison，The Kingdom of Tianzhu。""Historical Records: Biography of Dawan" calls India "a country of poisonous bodies"，"body"，or "gan"，"Qian" connects to "Heaven"，It can be proved that "Heavenly Poison" immediately "bodies poison"，Also India。

Ancient times，For sailors who set sail，No national borders and customs restrictions yet，The vast and long coastline and dotted islands will guide them forward，Where the route ends at the end of the world，There are sailors from other nationalities continuing the relay，Extend routes to uncharted coasts and islands further afield。Beyond our limited historical memory，Those ancient mariners in distant years must have staged a magnificent history of navigation bet365 live casino games vast seas of the world。What remains of "The Classic of Mountains and Seas" is only a drop bet365 live casino games ocean of the maritime history of the Western Pacific Coast，Even so，These records are enough to show that the book "The Classic of Mountains and Seas" contains very precious ancient historical geography and transportation information，To be further explored and elucidated by the academic community。
