​

Have you ever heard of He Luo fish, After flowing out of this mountain, Qiao river flows westward into the Yellow River. There are many He Luo fishes in the water. This kind of fish has a head and ten bodies (or tails), and its bark is like a dog. This is the description of a strange animal named " He Luo fish " in the book of The Classic of Mountains and Seas.

Similar to the above cases, there are hundreds of strange animals with strange body and appearance descriptions, but they may not exist in reality. This also leads to the reference image presented in each edition of the book of The Classic of Mountains and Seas from ancient times to the present is not unique. It constantly evolves with the imagination of the author at that time.
