A further 370 li east stands Mount Lúnzhě [侖者]. Above are plentiful metals and jade, below much Qīngwò [青雘]. There is a tree like a paper mulberry, but with red grain and sap like lacquer. Its taste is like malt sugar; whoever eats it feels neither hunger nor weariness. Its name is Bái Jiù [白䓘], and it can redden jade.From the English edition of Mountains & Seas.
