Problems with understanding of disputed texts in Waterways Classics Notes about Dongxing Pass have led to misunderstandings of many people on the part of the shifted location of Dongxing Pass.If we punctuate the disputed texts again and revise the possibly wrong wording,misunderstandings of many people in confirming the location of Dongxing Pass arisen from this can be avoided.Starting from on-the-spot investigations,we can discover some shortcomings of understandings by both people in the past and nowadays.Meanwhile,by taking Xing Range rather than Xing Range and Xiawu Mountain as point of reference,we can naturally make clear that Dongxing Pass is the contemporary Yanmen Pass.No matter whether we rely on historical records,objective geographic landscape,or routes of military movement,it is not truthful to the reality to consider Yukou or Huyu as Dongxing Pass.
