Over the course of history, the designated mountains for the tea mountains have either been changed or listed differently.
In the Qing dynasty government records for Pu'er, 普洱府志, the oldest historically designated mountains were said to be named after six commemorative items left in the mountains by Zhuge Liang and using the Chinese characters of the native languages (Hani and Tai) of the region. These mountains are all located northeast of the Lancang / Mekong River in relatively close proximity to one another.
