 The Classic of Mountains and Seas is an ancient Chinese text filled with strange tales and mythical creatures. Long studied and re-edited in Chinese cultural circles, it remains a fascinating classic. Today, we reinterpret it for modern life through a new version: "!!!! Help Me, Monsters!!!! The Classic of Mountains and Seas – Necessary Monsters for College Students." From the perspective of an art college student seeking help from magical creatures, we selected 32 monsters most relevant to student life. Featuring both the original text and an English translation, this edition introduces the classic to readers across cultures in a lighter, more engaging way.

《山海經》是一部中國古代的神話地理著作，收錄了眾多奇異傳說與珍禽異獸。由於內容奇幻多變，自古以來便廣受研究與再編輯，成為中國文化中極具影響力的經典。千百年後的現在，我們重新思考如何讓這部經典與當代生活重新連結，並嘗試以新的角度詮釋神話。於是我們以藝術院校學生的視角，重新編輯《山海經》，並命名為《!!!! Help Me, Monsters!!!! 山海經──大學生的必備妖怪》。以向擁有神奇力量的妖怪尋求幫助為概念，精選出 32 隻能幫助大學生的妖怪，內容同時包含原文與英文翻譯，希望以更輕鬆有趣的方式，將這部古老的經典介紹給不同文化背景的讀者。
