Shangshan: The name of the mountain, also known as Shangban and Chushan, is located at the intersection of Shanyang County and Danfeng County in the southeast of Shangluo City, Shaanxi Province.

Dongzhengduo: the bell that shakes travel. Zhengduo: a bell hung on the horse's neck when the carriage is in motion. Duo: Big bell.
Hu (hú): a deciduous tree that grows in Shanyang County, Shaanxi Province. The leaves wither but do not fall in winter, and fall only when the branches sprout in spring. The rice dumplings wrapped in these leaves during the Dragon Boat Festival have also become a local specialty.
Prucifolia flowers illuminate the post wall: Some versions (such as "Extracurricular Ancient Poetry Recitation" in the ninth grade volume of "Chinese Language" published by the People's Education Press) are written as "Prucifolia flowers illuminate the post wall". Some people think that "photographing" is wrong. (See "Zhi Hua Ming Post Wall - Flaws in the Ninth Grade Volume 1 of the Chinese People's Education Press"). Ming: Make... bright and beautiful. Zhi (zhǐ): also called "stinky orange", a deciduous shrub or small tree. White flowers bloom in spring, and the fruit is orange-like but slightly smaller. It is sour and inedible, but can be used as traditional Chinese medicine. Yi (yì) wall: the wall of the inn. Post: A place where people who delivered official documents or officials who came and went stayed temporarily and changed horses in ancient times. This sentence means: The orange blossoms are blooming brightly beside the wall of the inn.
