  The Yangs chose their new name as a tribute to the highest mountain in Taiwan, Yushan or Jade Mountain, which had been renamed Niitakayama (新高山, new high mountain) by the Japanese. Known in the West as Mount Morrison, after the American freighter captain who first sighted the mountain in the nineteenth century, the peak was even higher than Mount Fuji.
