Haozhi (Brave pig), the 229th Known One.
“Fifty-two li west stands Bamboo Mountain, whose summit contains many tall trees. There is an abundance of iron on its northern slope and a plant here named the Yellow Guan-Plant. Its form ressembles that of an ailanthus, while it’s leaves ressemble those of the hemp plant with white flowers and blood-red fruit. Adding it to a bath will cure itching, and it can also cure tumors.
The Bamboo River emanates from here and flows northward into the Wei. Along its northern banks grows an abundance of arrow-bamboo and dark green jade. The Cinnabar River emanates from here and flows southeast into the Luo River. Much rock crystals and many Human-Fish are found in it. There is a beast here whose form resembles a pig with white bristles with black tips as large as hairpins. It is called the Haozhi.” - Guideways Through Mountains and Seas
