In the South China Sea, there is a group of Jiaoren. Their tears become pearls (珍珠)after they fall. To the north of Kunlun Mountains, there is a monster (怪物)called Xiang Liu, which has nine heads with human faces but the body of a snake. These magic characters are from the ancient book Shan Hai Jing.
Shan Hai Jing, also known as The Classic of Mountains and Seas, is said to be at least 2, 200 years old. It is about culture and geography of China before the Qin Dynasty. The book has eighteen parts, talking about more than 550 mountains and 300 seas.
