A further ten li east stands Mount Guī [騩], with fine jujubes above and Tūfú [㻬琈] jade on its northern slope. The Zhènghuí [正回] River rises here and flows north into the Hé [河]. In it are many Fēi Yú, like piglets with red markings; wearing them removes fear of thunder and wards off warfare.From the English edition of Mountains & Seas.
