Note 22 — Chapter XIII · The Symbolism of Jade
Reading edition
“In the pond Tsi-tsʼui there are coral trees twelve feet high. Each trunk produces three stems, which send forth 426 branches. These have been presented by Chao Tʼo, King of Nan Yūe (Annam), and were styled ‘beacon-fire trees’. At night they emitted a brilliant light as though they would go up in flames.”22
