Among the various mountain peaks in the Zhenjiang city district and suburbs.
The meaning of the name of Five Continents Mountain, located southwest of the city suburbs, is perhaps the most varied.
In local county chronicles, Five Continents Mountain is also referred to as Five States Mountain, leading many to believe its name originates from ancient poems.
Some say its name comes from Zeng Bu's poem 'Starting from the northwest of the sea gate, the high hills appear uneven, showing the Five States.'
Others claim it originates from records in the 'Selected Works':
'In the land of Jiuzhou, the Song obtained five. People from the Five States long for the emperor's favor.'
There are even rumors that Five States Mountain is a new dragon vein that appeared in Zhenjiang after Emperor Qin Shi Huang cut through Jingyan Mountain, and whoever possesses it can claim half the world, thus named Five States.
There are many similar rumors, hard to verify.
