The Sancai Tuhui is a massive 106-chapter Chinese encyclopedia from the Ming Dynasty. While it is frequently cited and partially translated in academic works (such as those by Joseph Needham or Richard Strassberg), no complete English translation of the 'Birds and Beasts' section or the work as a whole was found in any catalog or database. This publication represents the first complete English translation of this specific section.

Step into a world where tigers emit beams of light from their eyes and benevolent beasts refuse to step on living grass. Sancai Tuhui (Vol. 91) is a breathtaking Ming Dynasty encyclopedia that maps the intersection of natural history, imperial myth, and moral philosophy. Discover a universe where the animal kingdom serves as a cosmic mirror for human virtue and divine justice.
