Mythology[]
“ | Penglai Island is a mythical island in ancient Chinese legends, said to be located overseas in the East Sea and surrounded by a black mist sea. It is described in the short story the 'Record of the Peach Blossom Spring' written by the poet Tao Yuanming (365-427 CE). The story describes the adventure of an ordinary fisherman who accidentally enters a secluded and isolated place: “One day, as he followed the course of a stream, he became unconscious of the distance he had travelled. All at once he came upon a grove of blossoming peach trees which lined either bank for hundreds of paces. No tree of any other kind stood amongst them, but there were fragrant flowers, delicate and lovely to the eye, and the air was with drifting peach bloom. |
