《明史·志·卷六十三》
从西北到东南，全长五百三十里，比照黄河近便八十里，河流渠道、河塘占十分之八九，水源处有常流之水，主流支流互相连接，这是上天用来资助漕运的。
自西北至东南，长五百三十里，比之黄河近八十里，河渠、河塘十居八九，源头活水，脉络贯通，此天子所以资漕也。
From northwest to southeast, the total length is 530 miles, which is about 80 miles shorter than the Yellow River. Rivers, canals, and ponds account for 80% to 90% of the area. The water source has constant flow, and the main and tributary rivers are connected with each other. This is from heaven to support漕运 canal transportation.
