《太平广记·卷六十一·女仙六》
九嶷山有九座山峰，每峰有一河，九江分别流于其下，而注入六合，周而复始，逆流而上到这里，以灌天河。
山有九峰，峰有一水，九江分流其下，以注六合，周而复始，溯上于此，以灌天河，故九水源出此山也。
Jiuyi Mountain has nine peaks. Each peak has a river, and nine rivers flow down into the six directions and then into the six regions. It goes around and around, comes back up again, waters the Milky Way.
