The first western range, from Mount Qiánlái [錢來] to Mount Guī [騩], comprises nineteen mountains and extends 2,957 li. Mount Huà [華] is its chief; its rites require the full three-animal sacrifice. Mount Yú [羭] is a divine mountain: its rite uses torches, a hundred days of purification, and a hundred sacrificial animals. A hundred pieces of fine jade are buried; a hundred vessels of wine are warmed; and a hundred Guī [珪] tablets and a hundred Bì [璧] disks are hung as offerings. For each of the other seventeen mountains, a goat of unblemished colouring is offered. The torches are made from plants not yet reduced to ash, and white mats are bordered with coloured material.From the English edition of Mountains & Seas.
