 The book is significant for any deliberations on the initial Chinese knowledge of Africa, whether maritime-acquired or otherwise, because of the single inconclusive reference that it contains referring to what might conceivably be the ancient Egyptian city of Alexandria, which is arguably specified by the Chinese name Wuchisan 烏遲散. The theory that Wuchisan is one and the same as the ancient Egyptian capital of Alexandria was first proposed by the scholar Paul Pelliot (1878-1945). It remains, however, a still debated but nonetheless unproven conjecture.

-There is only one, to Wuchisan (Alexandria?). It occurs early in ''juan'' 22, amidst a description of the country of Daqin 大秦 (typically interpreted as having been either the Roman Empire or the Near East and, especially in the latter case, Syria—being that part of the Roman Empire in West Asia that was known to the Chinese). This seminal instance is immediately preceded by what appears as a more fragmentary one occurring in the very probable abbreviated form of just Chisan 遲散.<ref>See Yu Huan魚豢, ''Weilüe jiben'' 魏略輯本, ed. by Zhang Pengyi 張鵬一 (Shaanxi：Wenxian zhengji chu 文獻徵輯處, 1924), 22.4b</ref>
