A further 300 li south stands Mount Chái [犲]. Above are no plants or trees, below much water, containing many Kān Xù Yú [堪㐨]. There is a beast like a Kuāfù [夸父], but with pig bristles and a voice like shouting. When it appears, great floods fall upon all beneath heaven.From the English edition of Mountains & Seas.
