《水经注·卷二十六》
熏冶泉水色澄清透明，而且特别清凉，深渊底下岩石历历可数，浅处的沙上水流荡出的波痕就像雕成一样。中间有古坛，与祠参差相对，后人稍加修饰，把它作为嬉游的处所。
水色澄明，而清泠特异，渊无潜石，浅镂沙文，中有古坛，参差相对，后人微加功饰，以为嬉游之处。
The water of Xunya Spring is crystal clear and transparent, and it is particularly cool. The rocks at the bottom of the abyss can be counted clearly, and the ripples荡 of the water flowing on the sand in the shallows are like carvings. In the middle is an ancient altar, which is staggered with the temple. Later generations added a little decoration to it as a place for frolic.
