Human emotions are complex and dual-sided, similar to the beasts in The Classic of Mountains and Seas. These creatures can be both benevolent and fierce, just as emotions change based on circumstances. Emotions are shaped by the environment, others’ actions, and personal experiences. The same event may evoke different feelings in different people. Similarly, the beasts in The Classic of Mountains and Seas show contrasting traits in different situations. This duality also exists in human nature and the natural world. Humans create civilizations but can also be greedy. Nature’s elements, like water and fire, sustain life yet cause destruction. The beasts in The Classic of Mountains and Seas symbolize these forces—some bring blessings, others disaster. Recognizing this dual nature helps us see the world more clearly and understand both human emotions and life’s complexities.
