《徐霞客游记·游五台山日记》
初八日老僧人石堂送我出来，他指着一座座山峰说： 北台下面，东台西面，中台正中，南台北面，有山坞名叫台湾，这是众台环绕的概貌。
初八日老僧石堂送余，历指诸山曰： 北台之下，东台西，中台中，南台北，有坞曰台湾，此诸台环列之概也。
On the 8th, the old monk Shitang saw me off, pointing to the various peaks as he said: Below the North Terrace is the East Terrace to the west, the Middle Terrace in the middle, the South Terrace to the north. There is a mountain ravine called Taiwan. This is an overview of the numerous terraces.
