The first range of the Què [䧿] Mountains, from Mount Zhāoyáo [招搖] to Mount Jīwěi [箕尾], comprises ten mountains and extends 2,950 li. Their gods all have bird bodies and dragon heads. Their rites require a furred offering and the burial of a Zhāng [璋] jade tablet; the sacrificial grain is rice. A Bì [璧] disk is also offered, and white cogon grass serves as a mat for the rice.From the English edition of Mountains & Seas. Open the reader for the Chinese editions and translator’s notes.
