Stone of Qi's Mother can still be found today at the foot of Mount Song's Ten Thousand Years Peak of the Great Room (Taishi). In antiquity, wives were also known as "rooms" (shi). According to the Annals of Dengfeng, the two main ridges of Mount Song, the Greater Room and Lesser Room (Xiaoshi) were named for the two consorts of Yu the Great, the Mother of Qi and her younger sister.[28]([28] Dengfeng xianzhi, (Dengfeng: Dengfeng geming weiyuanhui wenhuaju, 1979), 13n, 171-2.
