"Overseas Northern Classics" commented:

After the "Overseas Northern Classic" is connected to the Western Longitude, and the long-shared country is recorded at the end of the "Overseas Western Classic", it visits the neighboring countries in the north from west to east, and its range is from Xinjiang to the northeast through Mongolia.

Comparing the description of "Overseas Classics" with satellite maps, one will find that the vegetation in "Overseas Northern Classics" and "Overseas Western Classics" is quite sparse, but these places may have been good places with abundant aquatic plants and materials 8,000 years ago; In the Middle East or North Africa, the phenomenon of desertification is generally caused by the long development time and over-development. As the location of the Arctic moves, the climate in the north is getting colder and colder, so there are also factors for heating.

"Overseas Classics" lists neighboring countries in order from the east, south, west, and north outside the areas contained in the "Shanjing". The original version should have been written by Fuxi, and later by Shennong and Xuanyuan (changed). Rarely), therefore, the way of recording is similar to that of the Great Wilderness Classic, which is extremely simple.

Although the "Overseas Classics" and "The Great Wilderness Classics" are both written by Fuxi, the visit time of the two should be different, and the scope may be repeated:

 "The Great Wilderness Northern Classic" In the great wilderness, among the rivers, there is the mountain of Yu. There are Qiu Jiu, Wen Bei, Li Yu, Luan Bird, Imperial Bird, Big Things and Small Things. Qiu Fangyuan is three hundred li, and there is Chize water in the south of the hill, named Fengyuan. There are three mulberries without branches. Qiu Xi has Shen Yuan. There are Hu who do not go with the country and eat millet.

"Fuyu Mountain" in "The Great Wilderness Northern Classic" may be the same area as "Fanlin" in "Overseas Northern Classic", and the landmarks are "Sansangwuzhi", "Fangsanbaili", and the abundant For property, the "Overseas Classics" records that the west is "The Wilderness of Osi", while the "Great Wilderness Classics" records that the west is "Hubuyu Country". "It's still early.

It is no problem that "Hu Buyuguo" is the ancestor of the Hu people, but it is difficult to say whether it is the predecessor of "Xihu" and "East Hu" in "Hai Neijing". The most obvious difference is eating habits. "Hu Buyu" It should be a primary agricultural settlement that mainly focuses on gathering, while the "Donghu" is a nomadic tribe that mainly focuses on animal husbandry. Of course, it is not ruled out that the Fuxi clan will teach animal husbandry techniques. After all, the vast area of Saibei is more suitable for grazing.

 The Shenmu country is in its east.

Different from the "Shenmu Min" who lived by fishing in "The Great Wilderness Classic", the "Shenmu" here should refer to the image of the domain. The area in the Tangnuula Mountains in northern Mongolia looks like a deep eye. However, we can see it from the satellite, but Fuxi has no map reference. The ability of the ancients to observe the terrain is really amazing!
