《徐霞客游记·黔游日记八》
向东在黑暗中行走了五六丈便出来，就见厅堂门户宏伟高大，好像阿房宫、未央宫，四周既已开阔，而高峻之处愈甚；水流从东南隅往下冲捣深穴而去，亮光从西北隅顶上透过明亮的虚空射入；洞内突出水面的岩石，都好像是盘踞着的雄狮、浮水的野鸭，附着在洞壁上的石崖，全如下垂的旗子、矗立的柱子的模样。
东行暗中者五六丈而出，则堂户宏崇，若阿房、未央，四围既拓，而峻发弥甚；水从东南隅下捣奥穴而去，光从西北隅上透空明而入；其内突水之石，皆如踞狮泛凫，附壁之崖，俱作垂旂ｑí旗矗柱。
Walking east in the darkness for five or six rods, I came out and saw the hall's entrance was magnificent and grand, like the Arfang Palace and Weiyang Palace. The surrounding area was already open, and the high places were even more so. The water flowed down from the southeast corner into a deep hole, and the light from the northwest corner shot in through the bright void. The rocks above the water inside the cave all looked like crouching lions and floating wild ducks. The cliffs attached to the cave walls were like drooping flags and towering pillars.
