《徐霞客游记·滇游日记二十七》
南边的一块是高峰重峦叠嶂的景观，它那弥漫的云烟深浅有别，各自达到出神入化的境界。这两块石板与清真寺中枯梅纹的碑座，是大理石中最古老的东西。新采石头中美妙的，没有比得上顺宁张知府寄放在大空山楼中的诸石的了，其中有极其神妙更超过旧石的。因此了解到造物主的创造是越来越奇妙，从此以后，画家的绘画全是俗笔，而画坛可以废除了。前殿后边又有正殿，庭院中有一棵白山茶，花的大小如红山茶，而且花瓣成簇也像红山茶，花还没有开完。
张石大径二尺，约五十块，块块皆奇，俱绝妙著色山水，危峰断壑，飞瀑随云，雪崖映水，层叠远近，笔笔灵异，去皆能活，水如有声，不特五色灿然而已。其后又有正殿，庭中有白山茶一株，花大如红茶，而瓣簇如之，花尚未尽也。
The one on the south was the landscape of high peaks and ridges, its dense clouds and smoke had shades, each reaching the fairyland. These two stone slabs and the tablet base of withered plum pattern in the mosque were the most ancient things in marble. But the beautiful ones in the newly quarried stones were not as good as those placed in Dakongshan Tower by Magistrate Zhang ShunNing from Yunnan, among which there were some extremely wonderful ones that even surpassed the old stones. Therefore, one could understand that the creation of the maker was more and more wonderful, from then on, all the paintings of the painters were in vulgar strokes, and the painting world could be abolished. There was the main hall behind the front hall, in the courtyard there was a white camellia, the size of its blossoms were like that of the red camellia, and the petals were also clustered together like the red camellia, the blossom was not withered yet.
