山海經·大荒東經 · Shan Hai Jing · Wikisource
大荒東北隅中，有山名曰凶犁土丘。應龍出南極，殺蚩尤與夸父，不得復上。故下數旱，旱而為應龍之狀，乃得大雨。
In the northeast corner of the Great Wilderness, there is a mountain named the Earth Mound of Xiongli. Yinglong dwells at the southern pole; having slain Chiyou and Kuafu, he could not ascend back to heaven. Therefore the earth frequently suffered drought, and when there is drought, people fashion the likeness of Yinglong, whereupon heavy rain falls.
