《史记·十二本纪·夏本纪》
禹开通了九条山脉的道路：一条从汧山和岐山开始一直开到荆山，越过黄河；一条从壶口山、雷首山一直开到太岳山；一条从砥柱山、析城山一直开到王屋山；一条从太行山、常山一直开到碣石山，进入海中与水路接通；一条从西倾山、朱圉山，鸟鼠山一直开到太华山；一条从熊耳山、外方山、桐柏山一直开到负尾山；一条从嶓冢山一直开到荆山；一条从内方山一直开到大别山；一条从汶山的南面开到衡山，越过九江，最后到达敷浅原山。
道九山：汧及岐至荆山，逾于河；壶口、雷首至于太岳；砥柱、析城至于王屋；太行、常山至于碣石，入于海；西倾、朱圉、鸟鼠至于太华；熊耳、外方、桐柏至于负尾；道嶓冢，至于荆山；内方至于大别；汶山之阳至衡山，过九江，至于敷浅原。
