The Wenshi zhuan says: 'Heaven is four hundred and nine thousand li away from the earth. The straight diameters of the sun and moon are each three thousand li, and their circumference is six thousand li. The distance between heaven and earth from south to north is ninety thousand myriad li; from east to west and the four corners it is likewise transformed in shape.' The Jiku jing says: 'Mount Kunlun is fifteen thousand li high.'
