The Myth of Fu Sang: China’s Forgotten Eastern Paradise

 https://youtu.be/ty1LPZx3LVE?si=0MWSDXJkCpxlwNEL

 Fu Sang, one of the most mysterious and imaginative legends in all of Chinese mythology. A mythical Eastern paradise, a land of living suns, immortal trees, fireproof rats, deer-riding nobles, dog-headed men, giant rabbits, seas of varnish, and a fountain of wine. 

Today, we're taking an introductory look at a legend that almost no one has heard of, but absolutely should: the mythical land of Fu Sang as described by the 90-year-old Buddhist monk Hui Shen, whose fantastical tale appears in the Book of Liang over a century after his supposed voyage.

Was Fu Sang a metaphor? A myth? A garbled sailor’s tale? An embellished travel story? Or just an ancient attempt to imagine a paradise somewhere far beyond the sunrise? As always… your guess is as good as mine.
