Shan Hai Jing / Ancient mythic geography database
Shan Hai Jing
The Shan Hai Jing section independently organizes ancient mythic geography, mountains, rivers and seas, foreign lands beyond the seas, Great Wilderness divine realms, ancient gods and divine beings, strange beasts, plants, minerals and mythic events. It does not directly place ancient gods into Heaven offices or fold Youdu and ghost lands into later Diyu judgment.
Recommended entries
Read the structure first, then enter specific entries.
Every cross-domain relation must mark its type: source variant, later convergence, conceptual relation, name overlap, explicit non-merge or later influence.
Classic text systems
Five classic categories carry eighteen chapter regions.
Each classic system can continue into chapters, nodes, entities and events.
Entity categories
Ancient gods, strange beasts, foreign lands, plants and minerals are modeled separately.
These categories only describe internal Shanhai attributes and do not rewrite them as Heaven offices, Diyu ghost hosts or monster systems.
Key mythic events
Events connect ancient gods, places and later relations.
Event pages preserve ancient narrative attributes; images of death, rebirth, the underworld and heavenly emperors are not directly merged into later systems.
Related pantheon interfaces
Cross-domain relations are marked only, not merged.
Each relation shows its relation type, distinguishing source variants, later convergence, conceptual links and explicit non-merge.
