《太平广记·卷三百九十八·石（坡》
金星的精气，坠落在中南圭峰的西侧，于是称名为太白山。它的精气变化成白石，样子象玉一样美，经常有紫色的雾气覆盖着它。
金星之精，坠于中南圭峰之西，因号为太白山，其精化为白石，状如玉美，时有紫气覆之。
The quintessence of Venus fell to the west of South-Central Guifeng, hence its name of Taibai Mountain. Its quintessence turned into white stone as exquisite as jade, often covered by purple fog.
