The Shanhai Jing has a large number and rich variety of objects,which is the basic framework of the entire book.The meanings of famous objects can be either overt or covert,with some falling somewhere in between.The reason for the ambiguity of meaning is that the words used in names and objects often take their original and special meanings,rather than common usage;Some texts belong to polysemous and polyphonic words.Name refers to objects that are either a type of object or a category,with the latter utilizing comprehensive thinking.The Shanhai Jing uses each item as a relatively independent structural unit,and there is no direct correlation between the items,presenting a discontinuity.The names appear within an item often have meaningful associations,governing other names based on the concepts carried by the item's target name.The names that appear consecutively appear in a chain or network shape.The fragmented characteristics of ancient Chinese mythology are largely caused by this writing style.
