A further 300 li north stands Mount Dài [帶]. Above is much jade, below much blue-green jade. There is a beast like a horse, with a single patterned horn, called Quán Shū [䑏疏]; it wards off fire. There is a bird like a crow, five-coloured with red markings, called Qí Tú [鵸䳜]. It is both female and male; eating it prevents deep sores. The Péng [彭] River rises here and flows west into the Píhú [芘湖]. In it are many Shū Yú [儵], like chickens with red hair, three tails, six legs, and four heads. Their voices resemble magpies; eating them dispels sorrow.From the English edition of Mountains & Seas. Open the reader for the Chinese editions and translator’s notes.
