Shan Hai Jing · Classics of Mountains and Seas

Picture Story

Broken eggs, broken rivers and mountains.

The great river does not return.

Mischievous waves.

Human dalliance.

A crime of the ages.

West of the old ramparts, it is said the head of Hu Ben Lu (Hu Benlu) rears high.

Jagged rocks pierce the sky, terrifying waves sweat, four legs drunk on the wave-shore.

Rivers and mountains like a painting, summer hibernation winter's busy work.

Broken eggs, broken rivers and mountains.

Da Vinci's egg.
