Since then, the Classic of Mountains and Rivers had been attached to the fruit Guo Pu’s ideas. However, not only Guo Pu, but also at least another twenty six people had read the book in Wei-Jin, Northern and Southern dynasties and they had also put forward their own interpretations and gained various responses.
