He often wandered in the depths of Qingling; when he came and went there was light, and if he appeared, that state would be defeated. There were nine bells there, which knew frost and rang.” Guo Pu says, “Qingling Water is on the mountain in Xi’e county. When the spirit comes, the water glows red and bright; today there is a roofed shrine. When frost descends, the bells ring, so it says they know.

There is also a tract measuring one qing and twenty mu around, with two rings of moats outside and nine wells within. Tradition says that after Shennong was born, the nine wells opened by themselves; when one well is drawn from, all the wells move.

Beside its source were fragrant chrysanthemums everywhere, and the water was extremely sweet and fragrant. There were also thirty households there; they no longer dug wells but relied on drinking this water. The longest lifespans were 120 or 130 years, middle lifespans more than 100, and those who reached seventy were still considered to have died young. When Wang Chang, Excellency of Works of Han, and Yuan Wei, Grand Tutor, served as magistrates of Nanyang, the county sent more than thirty shi each month, and they used it entirely for drinking, eating, washing, and bathing. The father of Grand Commandant Hu Guang suffered from wind weakness; Nanyang constantly drew this water for him to drink, and the illness was then cured. These chrysanthemum stalks are short and the flowers large; eaten, they are sweet and delicious, different from other chrysanthemums. Guang also collected their seeds and planted them in the capital, and thereafter they were transmitted and planted everywhere.”

Jiangling: the Records of the Historian says that Xiong Qu of Chu made his eldest son Kang King of Judan; Zhang Ying identifies this with today’s Jiangling. The Huanglan says, “Sunshu Ao’s tomb was in Baitu Ward inside the city.” Jiangling contained Jin Township. In Duke Zhuang 19 of the Zuo Tradition, the Viscount of Chu suffered a great defeat at Jin. The Jingzhou ji says, “More than three li east of the county were three lakes. East of the lakes was a watercourse named Chang Valley, and to the northwest was a small city named Yefu. The Zuo Tradition says, ‘The Mo’ao hanged himself in Huang Valley, and the commanders were imprisoned at Yefu.’ More than ten li north of the county was Jinan city, where the kings of Chu made their capital. To the southeast was Ying city, built by Zinang.” In the Records of the Historian, Su Qin tells King Wei of Chu, “East of Chu is Xiazhou.” When King Zhuang of Chu attacked Chen, he took one man from a village and returned with him, calling him Xiazhou.

Zhonglu was a marquisate. The Xiangyang qijiu zhuan says, “In antiquity this was the Lu Rong. In the mountains west of the county was a passage, and in Han times several hundred horses often emerged from it. They were all small, like the horses of Ba and Dian. During the Three Kingdoms, when Lu Xun attacked Xiangyang, several dozen horses again came out of this cave, and Xun took them back to Jianye. When a Shu envoy came, a man from a five-bu military household at Dianchi recognized one horse’s coloring and said it was the mount his late father had ridden; he wept before it.” The Jingzhou ji says, “This was Matou Mountain in Xi county. Fifteen li south of the county was also the Shu River, which flowed east into the Mian. In the water was a creature like a horse, armored like a fresh carp, and arrows could not pierce it. In the seventh and eighth months it liked to sun itself on the stony flats. Its knees resembled a tiger’s paws and claws. Children who did not know what it was and tried to take it as a plaything would be killed by it. Some say that if one caught it alive and plucked its nose, it could urinate; its urine was called mulu.”
119

It was attacked and broken by them. In Guangwu’s time it was moved eastward and so was preserved; the name had been changed in anticipation. The Tradition says, “Stopping weapons is wu; a high and level place is ling,” and thus the name was changed.’” Chen Zhao notes: the Former Han was originally named Wuling; it is not known on what basis this response was made.

People of the time therefore called his stopping-place the immortals’ hut, and the mountain was named from it. The great ridges of the mountain are seven in all, with a rounded base and a circuit of nearly five hundred li. Its southern ridge overlooks Gongting Lake, and below it is a spirit temple. The seven ridges converge, and no one has climbed them. To the southeast is Incense Burner Mountain, where vapor hangs like incense smoke. In the southwest, before the central Stone Gate, stand twin gate towers, their cliffs rising more than a thousand ren while waterfalls pour down. The beauty of its birds, beasts, grasses, and trees, and the marvels of its numinous medicines and fragrant woods, are celebrated in the age.” The old records of Yuzhang say, “Kuangsu’s courtesy name was Junping; he was descended from Xia Yu.”

Qian is the place meant in the Zuo Tradition, Duke Zhao 31: “The men of Wu invaded Chu, attacked Yi, and invaded Qian and Liu; Shen Yin Shu of Chu led an army to rescue Qian.” Qian had Mount Tianzhu.

Kuaiji Commandery dated from the Qin empire. The government had first sat at Wu until the commandery was refounded and the capital shifted to Shanyin. It lay thirty-eight hundred li east of Luoyang. Fourteen county seats, 123,090 households, and 481,196 people were counted.
248
Shanyin: The Yuejue says, “Goujian’s small city was Shanyin. Mount Ji was Goujian’s fasting platform.” The Spring and Autumn of Wu and Yue says, “When Goujian had finished building the city, Strange Mountain arrived by itself. Strange Mountain was a mountain in the sea at Langye; it came by itself in a single night, and therefore was named Strange Mountain.” Mount Kuaiji was to the south; on it was Yu’s tomb. The Classic of Mountains and Seas says, “Mount Kuaiji is square; above it are many metals and jades, and below it are many fu stones.” Guo Pu says there was Yu’s Well. The Yuejue says there was Mount Chong, where Goujian buried the grandee Zhong. The Zhe River crossed the county. Guo Pu’s annotation to the Classic of Mountains and Seas says the river rises at Mount Yu in She county.
249
Mao County.
250
Wushang: the Yuejue says, “It had Mount Chang, where ancient sages gathered medicines; it was high and numinous.” The Yingxiong jiaozheng ji says, “In Chuping 3, the county’s southern townships were separated to form Changshan county.”
251
Zhuji: according to the Yuejue, Wuning county was carved out and established in Xingping 2.
252
西
Yuji: the Yuejue says Xishi came from here. Xie Cheng’s book mentions Mount Shewu. The annotation to the Wei Capital Rhapsody records Mount Xiao, source of the Pan River.
253
Taimo: the Zuo Tradition calls it Gumei. Xin’an county was separated from it in Chuping 3; Feng’an was separated by the Sun family in Jian’an 4; and Suichang was established in Jian’an 23. The Dongyang ji says, “On Mount Longqiu in the county stood nine rocks, outstanding above the forest canopy. They were red and white, and from a distance all looked like lotus flowers. Longqiu Chang lived here in seclusion, so the mountain was named for him. Near the summit were also rock caves, their exteriors like windows and doorways, with a stone forest inside. In front of the cliff stood a peach tree with very sweet fruit; it was not native to the mountain, and no one knew who had planted it.”
254
Shangyu: in the late Han, its southern townships were separated to form Shining county.
255
Shan County.
256
Yuyao County.
257
Gouzhang: the Classic of Mountains and Seas says, “Mount Yuju has no grasses or trees and much gold and jade.” Guo Pu explains, “The mountain lies south of Yuyao and north of Gouzhang, so the two counties were named from it.” Goujian wanted to move the king of Wu to Yongdong; Wei Zhao places this on an island east of the county.
258
Yin County.
259
Zhang’an was the old administrative seat in Minyue territory and was renamed by Emperor Guangwu. The Jin Taikang ji says it was originally Huipu Township south of Yin county and was established in Zhanghe 1 under Emperor Zhang, though the matter is uncertain.
260
Yongning was created in Yonghe 3 of Emperor Shun from the Eastern Ou township of Zhang’an.
261
Dongbu was organized as a marquisate.
262
Emperor Shun carved the commandery of Wu out of Kuaiji. Wu lay thirty-two hundred li east of Luoyang. Thirteen county seats, 164,164 households, and 700,782 subjects were registered.

Wu was the commandery’s old state. The Yuejue says, “The great city of Wu was built by Helu. It measured forty-seven li, two hundred ten paces, and two chi around. It also had Wu Zixu city and Juchao city. Outside Chang Gate were Helu’s tomb and Tiger Hill. Qionglong, twenty li from the county, was where Chisongzi gathered red halloysite. It had Mi Lake and Lixi city. It also had Stone City and the Beauties’ Mountain, which Helu established, as well as Mount Yu and Mount Wuxian.” The Huanglan says, “Outside the county’s east gate was Sun Wu’s tomb. Yao Li’s tomb was also southwest of the county.” Lake Zhen lay to the west, later called Lake Juqu. The Erya lists ten marshes and says Juqu lay between Wu and Yue; Guo Pu identifies it as Taihu south of the county. Within it was Mount Bao, and below the mountain was Dongting. Cave passages ran secretly under the water, leading everywhere, and were called the earth’s veins. The Yuejue shu says, “The lake measured 36,000 qing around.” It also had Great Lei Mountain and Little Lei Mountain. Zhou Chu’s Fengtu ji says this was where Shun fished in the marsh. Liu Zhao notes that this is wrongly located at Chengyang. When Wu attacked Yue and defeated it at Fujiao, Du Yu identifies the place as Jiao Mountain in Taihu.
264
簿
Haiyan: the present jixie register says the county’s old seat sank and became a lake under Emperor Shun; it is now called Danghu. In severe drought, when the lake dries up, the outlines of the city walls can still be made out.
265
西
Wucheng: in Duke Xiang 3 of the Zuo Tradition, Chu attacked Wu and reached Hengshan; Du Yu places it south of this county. Others say it was Hengshan in Danyang county, near Jiuci, the point reached by Zizhong. The Wuxing ji says, “On Mount Bian northwest of the county stood a shrine to Xiang Ji. In Xingping 2, Administrator Xu Gong petitioned to divide the county and establish Yong county.”
266
西
Yuhang: Gu Yi says, “When the First Emperor of Qin went to Kuaiji, he passed through here and made it a county.” The Records of the Historian says the First Emperor reached the Zhe River, but the waves were dangerous, so he went 120 li west and crossed at a narrow point. Xu Guang identifies this as Yuhang. Liu Zhao notes that the First Emperor’s route was through Qiantang and Fuchun; how could that have been near Yuhang’s borders?
267
Piling was the home of Prince Jizha of Wu. The northern arm of the Yangtze lay along its northern border. The Yuejue says, “The city south of the county was the old Yan land. The tomb in Shanghu was Jizi’s tomb, called Yanling Ruins.” The Huanglan identifies this with Jiyang Township.
268
Dantu was known in the Spring and Autumn period as Zhufang.
269
Qu’a County.
270
Youquan: the Zuo Tradition says Yue defeated Wu at Zuili; Du Yu identifies this as Zuili city south of the county. Gan Bao’s Soushen ji says, “When the First Emperor of Qin toured east, observers of qi said, ‘Five hundred years from now, east of the Jiang there will be the qi of a Son of Heaven.’ When the First Emperor arrived, he ordered one hundred thousand convicts to dig up and defile the place and branded it with an ill-omened name; for this reason he renamed it Youquan county.”
271
西使
An: the Yuejue says, “It had the West Ceng tomb, established by Sun Kai, king of Yue, as a defense against Lord Chunshen. He ordered his son to guard it, and when the son died, he was buried inside the city.”
272
Fuchun County.
273
Yangxian was organized as a town. Guo Pu says, “The county had Mount Zhanggong, with a hidden cave containing two halls.”
274
西
Wuxi was a marquisate. The Records of the Historian says, “Lord Chunshen fortified the old ruins of Wu and made them his own capital town.” That city was in Wuxi. The Huanglan says, “The tomb of Taibo, king of Wu, was at Meili Gathering north of Wu county, ten li from the city. The place where Taibo first lived was called Gouwu.” Liu Zhao notes that east of Wuxi county, on Mount Huang, there is a tomb of Taibo, which the people have honored for generations. Ten li from the tomb an old residence and well still survive. Zhao thinks the temple was established at the residence itself, unlike the Huanglan’s account. The Yuejue says, “West of the county was the Longwei tomb road, built when Lord Chunshen was first enfeoffed in Wu.” Zhao notes that what is now visible is simply a mountain name, not a constructed tomb road.
275
Lou County.
276
Yuzhang Commandery was founded under Emperor Gao. It sat twenty-seven hundred li south of Luoyang. Twenty-one county seats, 406,496 households, and 1,668,906 inhabitants were counted. The Yuzhang ji says, “Xiunwu, Shangcai, and Yongxiu counties were all established during Zhongping. Yuzhang county was established in Jian’an. The people of Shangcai were divided off and moved to this place, so it was named Shangcai.”
277
Nanchang: the Yuzhang ji says, “Between the Yangzi and Huai, only this county, Wu, and Linxiang, three counties, had magistrates.”
278
Jiancheng: this was the place established with the name Shangcai. The Yuzhang ji says, “The county had Ge Township and two qing of stone coal, which could be burned for cooking.”

Page 3472, line 16: "Emperor Gao established Xipingchang." Note: the collected commentary cites Qian Daxin as saying that the text should read "Emperor Gao established it" and should not contain the three characters "Xipingchang"; they are certainly intrusive characters. Later, after reading the Treatise on Eunuchs, where Peng Kai was made Marquis of Xipingchang and the note says that Xipingchang County belonged to Pingyuan Commandery, he realized that these three characters should belong to the preceding text on Pingyuan Commandery. Pingyuan Commandery's nine cities should therefore be ten cities. Because these three characters were mistakenly inserted into the Le'an note, the collator changed "ten" to "nine" to match the existing count. Another note: Zhang Senkai says that Qian's explanation is entirely correct, but the Former Treatise has Pingchang County under Pingyuan; this must be the same as Xipingchang, which Qian failed to cite.

Page 3483, line 13: "Emperor Gao established it; Mount Shangling is 3,900 li south of Luoyang." Note: Zhang Senkai's Collation Notes says that the three characters "Mount Shangling" belong neither to the preceding nor the following context; it is not known under which county a mountain name has been dropped and inserted here, and this awaits detailed examination.

Page 3484, line 7: "the Jin-period Administrator Zhao Jue." Note: the collected commentary cites Qian Daxin as saying that the Jin shu writes "Jue" as "Xin." It also cites Zhou Shouchang as saying that the Xianjiang River note cites the Traditions of Former Worthies in the same way, except that "Zhao Jue" is written as "Zhao Wei."

Page 3485, line 3: "Tuling." The Jian'an manuscript edition and the Palace Edition write tu as cha. Now note: in the Former Treatise, the Palace Edition writes "Chaling," while the supplemental-note edition follows the Jian'an manuscript edition in writing "Tuling." Wang Xianqian, on the basis of the Shuowen, says that tu and cha are interchangeable.

Page 3486, line 9: "Danyang Commandery." The textual investigation in the Palace Edition says that "yang" should read "yang" with the wood radical. Now note: the Former Treatise writes it as "Yang" with the hand radical. The supplemental note cites Song Qi as saying that it should be written "yang" with the sun radical. It also cites Wang Mingsheng as saying that the character "yang" with the hand radical is used, while the subordinate county Danyang follows another form. The southern directorate editions all write "yang" with the sun radical. The Jin Treatise sometimes writes it with the hand radical and sometimes with the sun radical, but the subordinate county writes it with the wood radical. Moreover, the note says, "Mount Danyang has many red willows and lies to the west." Thus it is very clear that the county name uses the wood radical, and the commandery also should have been named from this. All forms with the hand radical or sun radical are copying errors.
374
Page 3486, line 11: "Danyang." The collected commentary cites Hui Dong as saying that, according to the Jin Treatise, "yang" should be written with the wood radical. Now note: the Former Treatise writes it as "yang" with the sun radical.

Page 3486, line 16: "now called Mount Yu." The Palace Edition reads, "now called Mount Sanwang." Note: the present Classic of Mountains and Seas, in Guo's note, also writes "Mount Sanwang." However, She County and Mount Yu both appear in the Kuaiji Commandery note, so writing "Mount Yu" is correct. He Zhuo's collated edition also writes "Mount Yu"; the Palace Edition probably changed it on the basis of the present Classic of Mountains and Seas.

Page 3488, line 5: "south of the county there is Jibei Pavilion." The textual investigation in the Palace Edition says that He Zhuo's collated edition changes "bei" to "ren." Now note: the present Du note also writes "bei"; He probably changed it on the basis of a fragmentary Song copy.

Page 3488, line 7: "established commandery Wu." The textual investigation in the Palace Edition says it should be changed to "Wu established the commandery." Now note: the collation supplement says that "established commandery Wu" means the county was promoted to a commandery; changing it instead makes the explanation more obstructed.

Page 3488, line 10: “Zhang’an, the old zhi/ye; Minyue territory; Guangwu changed its name.” The Palace Edition writes “zhi” as “ye”; Wang Xianqian says “ye” is right, so the text is emended accordingly. The editors add that Hu’s annotation to the Comprehensive Mirror, citing Hong’s Lishi, says words have dropped out and that the passage should read, “Zhang’an was formerly Huipu; Emperor Zhang changed the name. Donghouguan was the old Ye, Minyue territory, and Guangwu changed its name,” which supplies the missing sense. The four characters “Dongbu marquisate” at the end of this commandery are therefore intrusive text; this is discussed in the Comprehensive Mirror note to Jian’an 1 under Emperor Xian of Han. The collected commentary also cites Hui Dong as saying that where this text reads “Minyue territory,” the Song shu Treatise on Prefectures and Commanderies reads “Minzhong territory.” It further cites Qian Daxin, who notes from the biography of Zheng Hong that the tribute shipments of the old seven Jiaozhi commanderies all crossed the sea from Dongye. That Dongye was Ye county in Kuaiji. Since Zheng Hong became Chamberlain for the National Treasury in Jianchu 8 under Emperor Zhang, when the place was still called Dongye, it plainly cannot have been renamed by Guangwu. Page 3488, line 12: "Dongbu marquisate." The collected commentary cites Qian Daxin as saying that, according to the Treatise on Prefectures and Commanderies in the Song shu, Houguan did not exist under the Former Han; under the Later Han it was called Donghouguan and belonged to Kuaiji. This "Dongbu marquisate" should be an error for "Donghouguan"; in Han times there is no evidence of anyone being enfeoffed as Marquis of Dongbu. Now note: Qian's explanation is correct, but these four characters are in fact intrusive text; see the discussion above.

Page 3488, line 13: "Mount Ji is Goujian..." This line continues or glosses the preceding collation entry. "Fasting and Purification Terrace."In the Palace Edition, "zhe"is written as "you." In both the Jian'an manuscript edition and the Palace Edition, "Jirong Terrace" is written as "Fasting and Purification Terrace." Note: the Yuejue shu writes it as "Fasting and Purification Terrace," and the Baoqing Kuaiji County Gazetteer says, "Mount Ji is fifty-three li east of the county and is also named Mount Zhaitai." Thus writing "fasting and purification" is correct, and it is now emended on the basis of the Jian'an manuscript edition and the Palace Edition.

Page 3491, line 12: "this place was named Shangcai." Note: Qi Zhaonan's textual investigation in the Palace Edition says that, according to the preceding text, a thirty-two-character subnote under the households and population of Yuzhang Commandery beginning "The Yuzhang ji says" should be placed below this text. Looking through this treatise, whenever it cites a book, the citation must point to something specific. Above, the Yuzhang ji says, "People of Shangcai were divided off and moved to this place," which is precisely the explanation of "this place was named Shangcai." It is not known why the "Yuzhang ji" passage was moved forward; later people then failed to correct it.
