About “Bowuzhi”

Bowuzhi, by Zhang Hua, was a compendium of Chinese stories about natural wonders and marvelous phenomena, drawing on many early Chinese classics. It covers Chinese mythology, history, geography, and folklore, and is one of the first works in the zhiguai, or "tales of anomalies," genre. It records the earliest versions of several myths, including that of the white yenü, "wild women" living south of China in a society without men. (Summary adapted from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA 4.0.)
