Fusang

Fusang (Hanzi: 扶桑; Pinyin: Fú Sāng) merujuk kepada beberapa entitas berbeda dalam sastra Tiongkok kuno, sering kali pohon mitologi atau wilayah misterius di kawasan Timur.

Pohon Fusang seperti yang digambarkan dari relief Kuil Wu Liang, pertengahan abad ke-2

Dalam Klasik apa iya Kelautan dan beberapa teks kontemporer, istilah tersebut merujuk kepada mitologi pohon kehidupan, yang secara alternatif diidentifikasikan sebagai mulberry atau hibiscus, yang diduga tumbuh di timur Tiongkok, dan mungkin berbagai kawasan di timur daratan.
