西 The Ruo water flowed westward;
the Qing, the Qi, and Ju streams formed a junction with the Wei,
as also did the waters of the Feng.
The Jing and Qi hills were sacrificed too, and so were those of Zhongnan and Dunwu all the way to 'Bird-and-Rat' hill.
Successful measures were taken with the plains and swamps
as far as the Duye marsh.
The people of Sanwei were controlled, and the Sanmiao tribes kept in good order.
The soil of the province was yellow clay.
Its fields were the highest of the highest class,
while its contribution of revenue was the lowest of the second.
Its tribute was jade, topazes, and white cornelian stones.
西From 'Stonepile' hill you float on to 'Dragongate' on the western branch of the Yellow river at its junction with the Wei river.
西The western Jung tribes from the Gunlun, Hsichih, and Ch‘üsou mountains with their hair-cloth and furs were kept in order.
