In fact, "The Classic of Mountains and Seas" was not written by one person at one time, but was continuously expanded into a book over a long period of time.

The version used by shanhaijing.wiki (opens in a new tab) is the one annotated by Guo Pu of the Jin Dynasty and revised by Huang Pilie of the Qing Dynasty.

Of course, there are more and more complete versions in modern times, and this website has also referred to many of them during the revision process.

The most important reason for using Guo Pu's version is that the author has passed away for more than a hundred years, and the copyright of his works has entered the public domain and can be used freely.
