一里东下，又东南转逾一冈，一里透峡出，始见东小山南悬坞中，其上室庐累累，是为黄草坝。
After a mile, go down the hill to the east, then turn to the southeast, cross a hill, and walk for a mile through the canyon before seeing the small hill to the east hanging south in the dock, and the houses on the hill are piled up, which is Huangcao Dam.
