In the South China Sea，there is a group of Jiaoren，or Chinese mermaids （美人魚(yú)），whose teardrops become pearls after they fall.To the north of Kunlun Mountains，there's a monster called Xiangliu，which has nine heads with human faces but the body of a snake.
These magic creatures from the ancient book of legends Shan Hai Jing，which inspired J.K.Rowling for her Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them series，are now brought back to life by a young Chinese girl in her photos.
Chen Xin，who learned painting as a child，said she started the photo series to commemorate （紀(jì)念） the days she spent with her grandma.
Every night before she went to sleep，her grandma told her stories in Shan Hai Jing. "I remember，especially in the summer nights，my grandma stayed outside to enjoy the light wind，" Chen said. "She sat on a rocking chair while I counted the stars and listened to her stories." These stories opened her mind to an imaginative world with fantastic creatures.
To design the makeup and look of these creatures，Chen checked documents and combined the images with the appearance of animals.She used various means and materials to make the items look like horns or tails. "I used real yak horns （牦牛角）.It's difficult to fix them onto the head and face of models，as they will drop.So it takes a long time，" Chen said.She also chose places whose geographical conditions met the descriptions of the creatures for photos. "For example，some creatures live in areas surrounded by rocks，so I will try to find such a place，" she said.
Recently，Chen has been working on another two photo series about the 24 solar terms and Chinese food. "I'm happy that more and more people are now paying attention to and falling in love with Chinese traditional culture，" she said.
