This is an artist book written and illustrated by Qiu Anxiong based on the 2000-year-old Chinese text Shan Hai Jing (Classic of the Mountains and Seas), a geographical and cultural accounts of pre-Qin China. In Xin Shan Hai Jing (The New Shan Hai Jing), the artist offers a whimsical picture of the west, satirically describing technically advanced products such as genetically engineered animals and military weapons as exotic animals from the west.

《山海經》是一本富於神話色彩的先秦地理和人文典籍,邱黯雄以這本有兩千年歷史的著作為契因,撰寫和繪製成《新山海經》。在這本圖冊裏,邱黯雄把西方描繪成奇幻怪誕之地,並用譏刺嘲諷的手法,把基因改造動物和軍事武器等高科技產物描畫描繪成來自西方的異化物種。
