Question

According to the Classic of Mountains and Seas, the second wife of the god Jùn is a goddess from this place, where Guǎnghán palace is located. One princess (10[1])of this place includes retrieving a robe of fire-rat skins among the impossible tasks she assigns to five suitors. In a punishment (10[1])reminiscent of Sisyphus, (10[1])the woodcutter Gāng must endlessly chop down a self-healing osmanthus tree in this place. At the end of The Tale of the Bamboo Cutter, Princess Kaguya returns to this location. After Uke Mochi vomits up a feast, an ambiguously gendered deity of this location kills her out of disgust. In many East Asian mythologies, the elixir of immortality is said to be created by a rabbit who can be found at this location.
