《徐霞客游记·粤西游日记十五》
石壁的西侧有洞穴向南深入，而僧房在这里；石壁的东南侧，溯溪岸进入洞中幽深锁闭之处，就见巨大的石柱悬在当中，上边的如连缀着玉珠串和宝石缨络，下边的如环列着白象、青牛，稍后些的如老君端坐着，胡须眉毛皎洁，安然坐着面对石柱，都是白玉样的钟乳石溶解凝结成的，而且是岩洞之所以得名的原因了。
壁之西有窍南入，而僧栖倚之；壁之东南，溯溪岸入其奥扃，则巨柱中悬，上缀珠旒宝络，下环白象、青牛，稍后则老君危然，须眉皓洁，晏坐而对之，皆玉乳之所融结，而洞之所以得名也。
There is a cave on the west side of the stone wall leading to the south, and the monk's room is here. At the southeast side of the stone wall, go back into the cave along the streamside, and you will see a huge stone pillar hanging in the middle. The upper part is like a string of jade beads and gem tassels, the lower part is like circles of white elephants and green bulls, and the later ones are like the old gentleman sitting upright, with white beard and eyebrows, sitting calmly facing the stone pillar, all of which are stalactites dissolved and condensed from white jade, which is also the reason for the name of the cave.
