The customs are simple, the people's hearts are as old as ever, the water and soil are good, there are no miscellaneous diseases, and there are many delicious foods. There are pine and cypress trees on the mountain, which can be seen from a distance. When I was in Shenmu, I got two kinds of earth objects and snacks, and sent them to Yan Xi Palace and Yijin Valley Palace to have a look and smile. I respectfully presented a box of white flour to Shenmu. Like other languages, Shenmu County and its specialties and customs are mentioned in many places.
