《徐霞客游记·粤西游日记二十二》
大概大容山是郁江南面条形的山脉，隔在绣江、郁江两江之间；而此山是郁江北面条形的山脉，隔在黔江、郁江两江之间。贵县背靠北山，就像郁林州背靠大容山西岭一样；得州背靠西山，就如容县背靠大容山东峰一样：都是在东西两头突起耸出的两只角，而中间却横亘着山脉。
贵县之倚北山，犹郁林之于大容西岭；浔州之倚西山，犹容县之于大容东峰：皆东西突耸两角，而中则横亘焉。
Probably the Da Rong Mountain is the bar-shaped mountain range on the south side of the Yujiang River, separating the Xiujiang and Yujiang rivers; and this mountain is the bar-shaped mountain range on the north side of the Yujiang River, separating the Qunjiang and Yujiang rivers. Guixian is located at the back of the North Mountain, just like Yulinzhou is located at the back of the West Peak of Da Rong Mountain; Dezhou is located at the back of the West Mountain, just like Rongxian is located at the back of the East Peak of Da Rong Mountain: in each case, the two horns stand out at the east and west ends, while the mountains lie across the middle.
