《徐霞客游记·游黄山日记》
走出天门，高耸的山崖悬空重叠，道路沿着山崖半腰延伸，比之后海一带森严的山峰、陡峭的岩壁，又转变为另一种境地。 海螺石 就在岩崖旁边，宛转的形态非常像只海螺。来的时候忽略了，来不及仔细观察，现在在雨中行走，倒很熟悉它奇异之处，这是询间别人后才知道的。
出天门，危崖悬叠，路缘崖半，比后海一带森峰峭壁，又转一境。 海螺石 即在崖旁，宛转酷肖，来时忽不及察，今行雨中，颇稔其异，询之始知。
Walking out of Tianmen, the towering cliffs hung and overlapped, the paths extended along the half waist of the cliffs, compared to the formidable mountains in the Houhai area and the steep cliffs, it changes to another kind of scene. The Sea Conch Stone is right next to the cliff, its winding form is very much like a conch. I neglected it when I came, and did not have time to observe it carefully, now walking in the rain, I am quite familiar with its uniqueness, I only found this out after asking someone.
