《徐霞客游记·滇游日记二十》
小山背后就是开阔的北坞，小山位于坞中，像正门标记，前面对着横贯的沟壑，象鼻水夹在坞东，中海水流经坞西，背靠雪山，前耸文笔峰，但唯独这正中的山小，府署坐落在坞南，向东对着玉河，背后帘幕般的山顶上，是所说的黄峰，俗名又叫天生寨。木氏居住在这里两千年，宫室的华丽程度，可以和帝王相比。
后幕山顶而上，所谓黄峰也，俗又称为天生寨。木氏居此二千载，宫室之丽，拟于王者。
Behind the hill is the open Běiwù, and the hill is situated in the center of the wù, marking the main entrance; it faces the transverse gully up ahead, the Xiàngbí water is sandwiched between the wù to the east and the Zhōnghǎi water flows past the wù to the west; it has the snow-capped mountains at its back, and the Wénbǐ Peak rises up in front of it, yet only this hill in the center is small; the prefecture yamen is situated to the south of the wù, facing the Yùhé to the east; the mountaintop behind it looks like a hanging curtain, which is what is referred to as the Huáng Peak, also colloquially known as the Tiānshēng Fortress. The Mù family has lived here for two thousand years, and the grandeur of its palaces can rival that of an emperor’s.
