Where Mythology
Meets Machine

The Shanhaijing — Classic of Mountains and Seas — is China's oldest bestiary. Written over 2,000 years ago, it describes hundreds of mythical creatures, gods, and lands that no Western fantasy has ever touched.

GXN Studio uses cutting-edge AI generation tools to animate these forgotten beasts into 3–5 minute cinematic episodes. Each creature gets its legend, its world, and its own NFT — minted from the original frames.

Chronicles of Shanhaijing

Six mythical beasts. Six self-contained episodes. One universe that has waited 2,000 years to be seen.

01
饕餮

The Taotie

The Devourer of Worlds. A bronze-mask beast with no body — only an insatiable hunger that reshaped civilisations. Now, it stirs again.

▶ Available Now
02

The Luan Bird

Twin to the Phoenix but fiercer. Its cry causes mountains to move and its feathers carry the weight of prophecy.

Coming Soon
03

The Kun

A fish so vast it darkens the sea beneath it. When it leaps, it transforms — and the sky belongs to something that should not fly.

Coming Soon
04
穷奇

Qiongqi

It rewards the wicked and punishes the just. A tiger with wings and a human face — the beast that inverts every moral order.

混沌

Hundun

The primordial chaos. A faceless creature that existed before heaven and earth. To give it eyes was to end the world.

06
毕方

Bifang

The one-legged crane that carries wildfire on its back. Wherever it lands, cities burn — but from the ash, a new order rises.
