《徐霞客游记·滇游日记八》
晋宁州治紧靠在东部山麓，大堡、河涧的水顺西部山麓合流，往北流过四通桥，又分为两派：一股一直往北注入滇海；一股往东绕过州治，往北流到归化县界内，流经安江村后进入滇海。
州治倚东界之麓。大堡、河涧合流于西界之麓，北出四通桥，分为两流：一直北下滇海；一东绕州北入归化界，由安江村人滇海。
Jinningzhou is next to the eastern mountain foothills. The waters of Dabao and Hejian merge along the western mountain foothills. They flow northward through Sitong Bridge and then divide into two branches: one flows northward into Dianhai Lake, and the other flows eastward around the state capital before flowing northward into Guihua County and then Dianhai Lake after passing Anjiang Village.
