The third northern range, from Mount Tàiháng [太行] to Mount Wúféng [無逢], comprises forty-six mountains and extends 12,350 li. Twenty of its gods have horse bodies and human faces; for each, a patterned Guī [珪] jade tablet is buried. Fourteen have pig bodies and bear jade; jade is offered to them, but not buried. Ten have pig bodies, eight legs, and snake tails; for each, a Bì [璧] jade disk is buried. All forty-four gods receive rice as sacrificial grain. None eat food cooked with fire.From the English edition of Mountains & Seas. Open the reader for the Chinese editions and translator’s notes.
