《明史·志·卷五十九》
现在应当在济、沛之间加筑束堤，以阻止流入昭阳湖的水道，再筑西堤以防黄河的冲击，则水就不分散缓流，而庙道旦可以永无淤塞之忧。 
今宜於济、沛间加筑东堤，以遏入湖之路，更筑西堤以防黄河之冲，则水不散缓，而庙道口可永无淤塞之虞。 
Now we should build a restraining dike between Ji and Pei to block the channel flowing into Zhaoyang Lake, and another dike in the west to prevent the impact of the Yellow River, so that the water will not be dispersed and the flow slowed down. Only then will the temple road be free from the worry of silting up forever.
