The first range of the western mountains, the Huà [華] range, begins at Mount Qiánlái [錢來]. Above grow many pines, below lie many Xǐ [洗] stones. There is a beast like a goat, but with a horse's tail, called the Qiān Yáng [羬]. Its fat can treat dryness of the skin.From the English edition of Mountains & Seas.
