Bestiary of Chinese Mythology. The Book of Mountains and Seas. With Augmented Reality

Artbook with augmented reality! Somewhere among the endless expanses of the Celestial Empire sleep dragons and deities, firebirds and winged fish roam, featureless giants and multi-headed monsters hide. Their stories are passed down from mouth to mouth, their images are... preserved in ancient scrolls of the ‘Book of Mountains and Seas’ — the most famous monument of Chinese mythology. Open this artbook — and ancient beings will come to life before your eyes. Here you will find illustrations, descriptions, and biological features of 40 mythical creatures from the ancient Chinese treatise ‘Book of Mountains and Seas’. Each creature is accompanied by a vivid illustration, ancient legends, quotes from the ‘Book of Mountains and Seas’, and descriptions of the external and internal structure of the being. You will encounter Inlun, who can summon rain, Zhulong, who influences the times of day and year, the two-headed bird Lei that controls fire, the faceless glowing Dihun, the fish with chicken legs Zou Yu, and many other amazing creatures. Each creature can be examined in 3D format and you can hear its voice by downloading a special application.
