《梦溪笔谈·艺文三》
蜀地临水而居的人家，都养鸬鹚，用绳子扎住它的脖子，让它去捕鱼，捉到鱼以后就倒提它把鱼倒出来，直到现在还是这样。
蜀人临水居者，皆养鸬鹚，绳系其颈，使之捕鱼，得鱼则倒提出之，至今如此。
People living by the water in Shu all raise cormorants, tie their necks with ropes, and let them catch fish. After catching the fish, they will turn them upside down to pour out the fish. This is still the case today.
