Jīnxiāngpíng

Jinxiangping lies in the hill country of Xiangyang in northern Hubei. A local gazetteer records a rock at the place called Yuyinyan, associated in tradition with Bian He and the famous jade he presented to the rulers of Chu. The story belongs to the ancient lore of the region, where hills and valleys meet the lands watered by the Han River. The named rock preserves a local version of that enduring tale.
