Description
| Specters, the shadows that lurk in the hearts of men A compilation of Chinese yokai culture Hu Olin, a scholar of the Ming Dynasty in China, classified novels dealing with yokai (monsters) as shikai. Chinese literature can be said to be a history of shikai. The myths contained in the Shan Hai Jing [Shan Hai Jing] and the Biography of Mu Tianzhi [Biography of Mu Tianzhi] go without saying, and the Confucian scriptures [Zhaoden] also contain many stories that are connected to shikai. Other Confucian scriptures include [Shin'i-kyo], [Rensenden], [Ibun-ki], [Kyudenbi den], [Sojin-ki], [Hakubutsu-shi], [Taiheikouki], [Yi Jianzhi], [Saiyuki], [Liaozai Shii], [Liaozai Shii], [Liyu-ki], [Liyu-ki], [Liaozai Shii], [Liyu-ki], [Liyu-ki], [Liyu-ki], [Liaozai Shii], and [Liyu-ki]. The literature of the Liaozhai Shii], [Liaozhai Shii], [Yi Jian Shi], [Saiyuki], [Liaozhai Shii], [Houjin Engi], and many other works of literature on the subject of monsters have become familiar to the public. This book lists 305 kinds of yokai (136 kinds of demons and ghosts, 125 kinds of monstrous birds and beasts, 27 kinds of immortals and giants, and 17 kinds of sacred plants and strange insects) described in classical Chinese literature, and describes their origin, appearance and form, historical transition, and stories. The book is designed to make the difficult-to-understand classical descriptions accessible to modern readers and to make [the essence of shikai] interesting. 217 myths, legends from various regions of China, and 417 paintings and calligraphic works are included, making the book a visual as well as a textual pleasure. At the end of the book, a summary of the monsters that appear in "Journey to the West" is introduced. Recommended for creators as well as Chinese culture clusters. This book is a compilation of Chinese yokai culture that serves as a guide to the depths of shikai literature.
