It is an ink-washed painting on paper, 98.4 cm high and 47.2 cm wide, created by Dong Qichang at 72 years old in the sixth year of Emperor Tianqi's reign in the Ming Dynasty (AD 1626). In the painting, East Sheshan Mountain and West Sheshan Mountain have peaks rising one higher than another.
The site is in Shanqian village, Xiaokunshan town. In 1980, the mouth of a well was found in the northeast of Yaojiajuan. Later on, many black bricks used for building the well were discovered.
The site is at the eastern foot of Xiaoji Mountian. In July 1959, an exposed primitive cultural layer was discovered on the two banks of a newly dug watercourse at Pingyuan village.
The mountain is opposite Zhongjia Mountain and to the northeast of Sheshan Mountain. According to the Annals of Songjiang Prefecture written during the reign of Emperor Jiaqing in the Qing Dynasty (AD 1522~1566), this mountain was named after a person surnamed, "Lu".
To the south of Phoenix Mountain, it is the smallest hillock among the nine peaks. It is 10m high. Its circumference is only 0.5km. Its area is about 20ha.
To the northeast of Tianma Mountain and facing Lushan Mountain, it is 39.2m above sea level. Its circumference is about 1km. Its area is about 6.6ha. Its former name is Shouan Mountain.
Located on the northern border of Sheshan town and bordering on Zhaoxiang town, it is the northernmost hillock in the area of the nine peaks. Its former name is Ganshan Mountain. It is 40.4m above sea level and covers about 13.3ha of land.
According to Yunjian Annals written in the Southern Song Dynasty, people with the surname "She" lived here in the ancient time, so the mountain was named Sheshan Mountain. According to Wuxing Annals, the mountain got the name as there was General She's Temple in the Eastern Han Dynasty (AD 25~220).
To the southwest of Sheshan Mountain and north of Xiaokun Mountain, Tianma Mountain is the first peak of the nine peaks. It is 98.2m above sea level. Its circumference is 2.5km and area is about 120ha.
