The Jing mountain and the Yellow river formed the boundaries of Yuzhou.
The Yi, the Luo the Chan, and the Jian streams flowed into the Yellow river,
the Yingbo waters formed a lake,
and the waters of the Ke marsh
were conducted to the Ming reservoir.
The soil of this province was clayey,
while in its lower parts it was rich, and in clods.
Its fields were the highest of the middle class;
its contribution of revenue was the average of the highest class, with a proportion of the very highest.
The tribute was varnish, silk, fine cloth of dolichos fibre, and sackcloth.
The baskets were filled with delicate embroidery and floss-silk,
and stones for polishing musical stones were rendered when required.
You float along the Luo
until you reach the Yellow river.
