《徐霞客游记·滇游日记七》
于是顺着岔路下到长满竹子的坑中？走 里，有条大溪流从西北方绕着往东流，这就是果马溪顺着西部山脉流出峡谷，到这里放开后转向东流的河段。
乃从岐道下竹坑间行，一里，有大溪自西北环而东注，即果马溪之循西山出峡，至是放而东转者。
So I followed the fork down into the bamboo-covered pit. After walking for li, there was a large stream flowing around from the northwest to the east, this was the Guoma Stream flowing out of the canyon along the western mountain range, and the section of the river that turned east after opening up here.
