"Geographical Records of Da Xia" states: Chitan spans seven hundred steps, hidden in the Old Mountain, where clouds persist year-round, and thunder serpents strike the water.
This means that Chitan is concealed within the Old Mountain, always under dark clouds, with occasional lightning hitting the water surface.
It is indeed a magnificent sight.
"Old Mountain" is not a description of the mountain, but rather its name. It is located west of the city named "Noble City", seldom visited by people.
The Emperor Qi granting the Marquis Wu'an Chitan was not just to give him an ancient pond for leisurely fishing.
Jiang Wang's fief includes this Old Mountain and nine towns near it.
According to the census registry, the combined population of these nine towns is nearly three hundred thousand people, enough to form a city. However, since these towns are scattered around Old Mountain, and transportation is inconvenient, merging them into a city is not practical.
