What is the scientific explanation of Shan Hai Jing?

The scientific explanation is that Shan Hai Jing is a wonderful book written by the ancients.

Shan Hai Jing is an important classic in the pre-Qin period of China, but it is also a wonderful book with rich myths and legends. There are only 18 volumes of advanced literature handed down from ancient times, including 5 volumes of Mountain Classic and 0/3 volumes of Sea Classic. However, it is precisely because it contains too many myths that people often ignore its other contents.

For example:

Geographical knowledge in folklore includes mountains and rivers, geography, nationalities, products, medicine, sacrifices and witch doctors. In addition, many fairy tales have been preserved.

For example, well-known legends, such as Kuafu's daily life and Jingwei's reclamation, have made great contributions to shaping the history of China. Therefore, the study of Shan Hai Jing can help us to study the ancient history, geography, culture, Chinese and foreign transportation, folk customs and myths of China.
