《徐霞客游记·滇游日记三十八》
我不能全枝曳着走，折断其中的三尺，把它带下来，并选择些交缠凝结的枝叶藏在其中，因为叶薄枝细，易于损伤，而筒壁很厚可以借来保护枝叶，携带十分方便。
余不能全曳，断其三尺，携之下，并取枝叶之绸缪凝结者减其中，盖叶薄枝细，易于损伤，而筒厚可借以相护，携之甚便也。
I couldn't carry the whole branch, so I broke off a three-foot section and brought it down, and chose some intertwined and congealed branches and leaves to hide inside it, because the leaves were thin and the branches were fine and easily damaged, whereas the walls of the tube were thick and could be used to protect the branches and leaves, making it easy to carry.
