A further 50 li north stands Mount Xiànyōng [縣雍]. Above is much jade, below much Tóng. Its beasts include Lǘ [閭] and Mí, its birds Bái Zhái and Bái Yǒu [䳑]. The Jìn [晋] River rises here and flows southeast into the Fén [汾]. In it are many Jì [鮆] fish, like Shū Yú [儵] with red scales and voices like scolding; eating them prevents itching.From the English edition of Mountains & Seas.
