The ""Shan Hai Jing (Classic of Mountains and Seas)"" uses mountains as its longitude and seas as its latitude. It is an ancient geographical encyclopedia covering the astronomy, geography, flora, minerals, birds, beasts, and mythological legends of the primordial world, and is even regarded as a 4,000-year-old history of the Yan-Huang civilization. It preserves a wealth of ancient myths and legends, reflecting the worldview of early ancestors.
""Illustrated Book of Shan Hai Jing Myths for Children"" selects well-known mythological stories from the Shan Hai Jing and invites internationally acclaimed illustrators to interpret Chinese legends through diverse artistic forms.
The story of ""The Yellow Emperor's Battle Against Chi You"" originates from the ""Great Wilderness: North"" chapter of the Shan Hai Jing:
""Chi You raised an army to attack the Yellow Emperor. The Yellow Emperor then ordered Ying Long to attack him in the wilderness of Ji Province. Ying Long stored up water. Chi You called upon the Wind Lord and the Rain Master to unleash a great storm. The Yellow Emperor then sent down the heavenly maiden Ba, and the rain ceased, leading to Chi You's defeat. Ba could not return to heaven, and wherever she resided, there was no rain. Shu Jun reported this to the Emperor, who later placed her north of the Red River. Shu Jun then became the God of Agriculture. Whenever Ba fled, those who wished to drive her away would chant, 'Goddess, go north ' First, they would clear the waterways and dredge the channels.""
The picture book expands these brief lines into an exciting mythological tale, depicting the thrilling magical battle between Chi You and the Yellow Emperor. Spanish rising illustrator Julia Vincent vividly and imaginatively portrays the intense war scenes of ancient times.
