《明史·志·卷五十九》
今黄河汇入淮河，水势已经不是它过去那样，而诸港口河套都已经堵塞，不能快速泄洪，下游堵塞上游泛滥，阻碍漕运水道。
今黄河汇入於淮，水势已非其旧，而诸港套俱已堙塞，不能速泄，下壅上溢，梗塞运道。
Now that the Yellow River has joined Huai River, the water situation is no longer the same as it was in the past, and all the port river branches have been blocked, unable to release flood quickly, blocking the upstream from flooding and hindering the漕运 waterway.
