Jade Chapters (Yupian) states the pronunciation is song. It is the same as the character (sōng). Explaining Graphs and Analyzing Characters (Shuowen Jiezi) explains: The Central Peak, Mount Songgao, is a character formed by combining mountain and high, classified as an ideogram (zhǐshì). White Tiger Hall Discussions (Baihu Tong) states: Among the Five Peaks, only the Central Peak includes the character for high, because the center is located in the middle of the four directions and can be considered high, therefore it is called Songgao.

Commentary states: The Outer Square Mountain mentioned in the Tribute of Yu (Yu Gong) is Mount Song.

Wei Zhao’s Commentary on Discourses of the States (Guoyu Zhu) states: It is interchangeably used with (chóng). Correct Meaning (Zhengzitong) states: According to this, the sound and meaning of (chóng) and (chóng) are the same, but one should not combine the characters (chóng) and (sōng) into a single character.
