魯迅對于繪圖《山海經》的渴望已不止一天了。這事是由和他家同住在這個臺門里的遠房叔祖玉田老人惹起來的，他是一個胖胖的和藹的老人，愛種一點珠蘭（chloranthus）、茉莉（jasmine）之類的花木，他在家里無人可以攀談所以就很喜歡和孩子們來往，有時簡直稱呼他們為“小友”。他的藏書很豐富，其中有一本叫《花鏡》，上面印著許多好看的花草和樹木，是一部孩子們最心愛的書。但老人卻說還有一部更好看的哩，那是繪圖的《山海經》。
Lu Xun had been yearning for an illustrated edition of The Classic of Mountains and Rivers for more than one day. This started with a distant granduncle Yu Tian, who was neighbouring Lu Xun’s family in this compound. He was a fat and kindly old man, who liked growing some flowers and trees, such as chloranthus and jasmine. Since he had no one to chat with in his family, he enjoyed the society of kids, and sometimes just called them “young friends”. He had a magnificent collection of books, one of which was called Flower Mirror. The book, with many beautiful illustrations of flowers and trees printed on it. became the kids’ favorite one.
