《水经注·卷三十八》
利水发源于曲江县的韶石北山，往南流经韶石脚下。石山高百仍，方圆五里，有两座巨石大小相近，相隔一里，遥相对峙，就如石阀，名叫韶石。
水出县之韶石北山，南流径韶石下，其高百仞，广圆五里，两石对峙，相去一里，小大略均，似双阙，名曰韶石。
The Lishui River originated from Shaoshi North Mountain in Qujiang County, and flowed south through under the foot of the Shaoshi Mountain. The stone mountain was one hundred Ren high and five Li square, with two giant stones of similar size, one Li apart, facing each other from a distance, which looked like stone valves, thus named Shaoshi.
