Péngzé

Pengze lies on the south bank of the Yangtze in northern Jiangxi. Its county seat moved more than once in the early medieval period, reaching Longcheng after the western part of the old county became Hukou in 938. Downstream, Madang Mountain thrusts a rocky headland into the river; narrow water and turbulent currents made it a dangerous passage for boats. The headland entered literature as well as local history, appearing in Feng Menglong's Ming tale of a divine wind carrying a traveller toward the Pavilion of Prince Teng.
