"The Classic of Mountains and Seas," also known as the "Shan Hai Jing," is an ancient Chinese text that describes and records various types of life forms within its world. Scholars who study the "Shan Hai Jing" consider it to be a cultural classic encompassing astronomy, geography, ethnicities, history, religion, and mythology, often referred to as an ancient "encyclopedia."

It is unlikely that the author of the "Shan Hai Jing" simply wrote it as a passing fancy.

For example, the segment about the "Xing Xing" in the "Zhao Yao Mountain" describes a creature resembling a monkey with white ears, capable of both crawling and walking upright. This closely resembles a human-like orangutan.

The existence of orangutans in the forests of ancient China is not surprising. However, what is astonishing is the description of the "Quan Yu" found only in the Americas: "There is a creature that resembles a rabbit with a bird's beak, owl's eyes, and a snake's tail. It falls asleep upon seeing humans and is called the 'Quan Yu.'"

Could it be that the Chinese had set foot in the Americas thousands of years ago?

Furthermore, the recorded contents within the "Shan Hai Jing" could potentially be an ancient world map! From a modern perspective, these encounters seem extremely absurd and difficult to explain. It challenges the notion that ancient people could have traveled extensively across the globe given the limitations of transportation and technology at the time. This inherent perception stems from the concept that time only moves forward in a straight line, without considering.
