Shuowen Jiezi (Shuowen Jiezi) says: A cliff. Erya, Explaining Mountains (Erya, Shishan) states: chong yǎn è. The commentary explains: A mountain shape resembling stacked liǎng yǎn (a type of tripod vessel). Yǎn refers to a zèng (steam cooker). The mountain's form is similar, hence it is named as such.
