Four Seas (original) (raw)
The Four Seas (Chinese: 四海; pinyin: Sìhǎi) were four bodies of water that metaphorically made up the boundaries of ancient China. There is a sea for each for the four cardinal directions. The West Sea is Qinghai Lake, the East Sea is the East China Sea, the North Sea is Lake Baikal, and the South Sea is the South China Sea. Two of the seas were symbolic until they were tied to genuine locations during the Han dynasty's wars with the Xiongnu. The lands "within the Four Seas", a literary name for China, are alluded to in Chinese literature and poetry.

Pada zaman Tiongkok kuno, dan Utara hanyalah digunakan sebagai simbolisme. Namun, setelah masa peperangan antara Dinasti Han dengan Xiongnu, keduanya dikaitkan dengan lokasi yang benar-benar ada. Tanah "ditengah Empat Lautan" merupakan penamaan puitis untuk Tiongkok, disinggung dalam Sastra dan Puisi Tionghoa. (in) Les Quatre Mers (chinois : 四海 ; pinyin : Sìhǎi) sont quatre étendues d'eau, qui sont associées de manière métaphorique aux limites de la Chine historique ; chacune de ces mers représentant un des quatre points cardinaux. Ces quatre mers sont respectivement: * le lac Qinghai, qui est la Mer de l'Ouest * la mer de Chine orientale, qui est la Mer de l'Est * le lac Baïkal, qui est la Mer du Nord * la mer de Chine méridionale, qui est la Mer du Sud Au début, les mers de l'ouest et du nord étaient purement symboliques, jusqu’à ce que les Chinois découvrent ces deux lacs durant la dynastie Han, à la suite des guerres menées contre les Xiongnu. Les terres "entre les quatre mers ", est une expression littéraire servant à désigner la Chine, qui est utilisée dans la littérature et la poésie chinoise.
