The theme is based on the world where different species help each other and live in complete harmony. Many of the monsters are reminiscent of the subjects in the ancient chinese book, the classic of mountains and seas, which describes both the real and mythical geography of china, adjacent lands and the creatures that inhabit them. There are also a great many buildings which they use to protect themselves from the dangerous outside world.  <Classic of mountains and seas>,an ancient Chinese book reports that in ancient times, there was a snake in Sichuan province in China, and it was so large that it swallowed an elephant. After three years, the elephant's bones were spit out. The analogy is insatiable. This type of bone can cure diseases in the abdomen.
