Chronology of Bamboo Books, Huainanzi, Xun [1].
Beyond the East China Sea, there is a mountain called Tiantai Mountain, a ladder leading to the sky, a platform leading to immortals and a place where feathered people live. Tiantai Sect, the mountain carried by the gods, also floats in the sea, without discipline and years. However, Nu Wa cut her feet to fit her shoes and stood at the four poles. When she saw that there was no fairy mountain, she moved to the bank of Langya Mountain.
Huainanzi Lan Mingxun:
In ancient times, the four poles were abandoned, Kyushu was split, the sky did not repeat, the land was uneven, the fire was burning, the water was inexhaustible, animals ate people, and birds caught the old and weak. So Nu Wa refined five-color stones to make up the sky, breaking the aojiang was enough to set up four poles, killing the black dragon to help Jizhou, and accumulating reed ash to stop lewd water. Tianbu, four poles are positive; Water is dry, Jizhou is flat; The death of cunning insects is beneficial to people's livelihood.
In ancient times, four pillars supporting the four sides of heaven and earth collapsed and the earth cracked; The sky is damaged, so everything can't be covered, and the ground is damaged, so everything can't be carried all over; The fire spread can't be put out, and the water potential is huge and unstoppable; Beasts eat good people, while raptors catch old people and children with their claws. So, Nu Wa smelted five-color stones to fill the sky, cut off the feet of giant turtles in the sea as pillars to support the square, killed the black dragon to save the Central Plains, and blocked the flood with reed ash. The sky was mended, the pillars of heaven and earth were erected again, the flood receded, and the land of the Central Plains was restored to calm. Fierce birds and beasts all died, and kind people survived.

Whispering-the road of collecting meteorites by Wang Yan of Langya in Qing Dynasty;
Rizhao meteorite: Shipenshan, 40 miles south of Rizhao County, Yizhou Prefecture. ..... There is still a horseshoe-shaped crater on the top of the mountain, where meteorites are scattered. At the foot of the mountain, there is a meteorite standing outside the south gate of Yutao pheasant. The natives said: Pangu opened the heavens and the earth, and the sun, the moon and the stars each performed their duties, and the four seas were one family, and they were happy. Unexpectedly, the sun exploded, meteorites fell, and even rocks broke ground. "The four poles are abolished and Kyushu is split", and the people are not happy. Fortunately, the goddess of mending heaven was at the top of the mountain, and xi bathed in the East China Sea, saving many lives. It is to build an old mother temple at the foot of the mountain to worship Nu Wa He and pile meteorites on the high platform to worship the sun god. Its temples have been destroyed and its monuments still exist; Its platform is gone and meteorites are visible.
