  text: <jats:p>High harmonic generation (HHG) from solids shows great application
    prospects in compact short-wavelength light sources and as a tool for imaging
    the dynamics in crystals with subnanometer spatial and attosecond temporal resolution.
    However, the underlying collision dynamics behind solid HHG is still intensively
    debated and no direct mapping relationship between the collision dynamics with
    band structure has been built. Here, we show that the electron and its associated
    hole can be elastically scattered by neighboring atoms when their wavelength approaches
    the atomic size. We reveal that the elastic scattering of electron/hole from neighboring
    atoms can dramatically influence the electron recombination with its left-behind
    hole, which turns out to be the fundamental reason for the anisotropic interband
    HHG observed recently in bulk crystals. Our findings link the electron/hole backward
    scattering with Van Hove singularities and forward scattering with critical lines
    in the band structure and thus build a clear mapping between the band structure
    and the harmonic spectrum. Our work provides a unifying picture for several seemingly
    unrelated experimental observations and theoretical predictions, including the
    anisotropic harmonic emission in MgO, the atomic-like recollision mechanism of
    solid HHG, and the delocalization of HHG in ZnO. This strongly improved understanding
    will pave the way for controlling the solid-state HHG and visualizing the structure-dependent
    electron dynamics in solids.</jats:p>
