Lǜ shan [绿山: Simplified Chinese] / [綠山: Traditional Chinese] = Mandarin pronunciation! Not Cantonese. It literally means "green mountain" but this term IS NOT used in Chinese unless you are describing the color of the mountain then you'd add a character between them 色: 绿色山 / 綠色山, or 绿色的山 /綠色的山. Cantonese pronunciation = similar to "Look san".
It's Lǜ = L + ü [u umlaut] + grave accent[ `], not Liu!
That's why I deleted the original answer.
Due to the Cantonese being used and rhymes more than Mandarin when reading poems, especially the 300 Tang poems.
青山 is used more by Cantonese & other non-Mandarin speakers. This slowly spread to Beijing/Peking and now青山, qing shan in Pinyin via Mandarin is also used.青山 = "Ching san" in Cantonese.
