《徐霞客游记·滇游日记四十二》
所登的山自东面的东大山分支，向西突为此冈，成为锡铅东面的军事要地，一直往西南逼向南山，水下流到其中非常狭窄，到此处后开始流出东面的壑谷。
所陟山东自东大山分支，西突此冈，为锡铅东锁钥，直西南逼凑南山，水下其中甚束，至此而始出东壑也。
The mountain climbed is a branch of Dongdas Mountain on the east, which emerges westward to form this hill, and becomes the military stronghold of Xinyin in the east, always pressing southwestward towards Nanshan, and the water flows very narrowly into it, and the flow starts here from the valley to the east.
