A further 320 li west stands Mount Bōzhǒng [嶓塚]. The Hàn [漢] River rises here and flows southeast into the Miǎn [沔]; the Xiāo [嚻] River also rises here and flows north into the Tāng [湯] River. Above grow much Táozhī [桃枝] and Gōuduān [鉤端] bamboo. Its beasts include Xī, Sì [兕], Xióng, and Pí; its birds include Bái Hàn [翰] and Chì Bì [鷩]. There is a plant with leaves like Huì [蕙] and a root like a balloon flower, bearing black blossoms but no fruit. Its name is Gū Róng [蓇蓉]; whoever eats it has no children.From the English edition of Mountains & Seas. Open the reader for the Chinese editions and translator’s notes.
