Strassberg R.E. A Chinese Bestiary: Strange Creatures from the Guideways Through Mountains and Seas
Los Angeles: University of California Press, 2002. - 337 р. ISBN: 0520218442
На 113-ти иллюстрациях книги представлено увлекательное зрелище мифологических существ, населяющих уникальную космографию Древнего Китая. 76 b/w plates, 37 b/w illustrations A Chinese Bestiary presents a fascinating pageant of mythical creatures from a unique and enduring cosmography written in ancient China. The Guideways through Mountains and Seas, compiled between the fourth and first centuries b.c.e., contains descriptions of hundreds of fantastic denizens of mountains, rivers, islands, and seas, along with minerals, flora, and medicine. The text also represents a wide range of beliefs held by the ancient Chinese. Richard Strassberg brings the Guideways to life for modern readers by weaving together translations from the work itself with information from other texts and recent archaeological finds to create a lavishly illustrated guide to the imaginative world of early China.[sub][/sub]
