《徐霞客游记·滇游日记六》
当初交水时，房主人告诉我： 有小路从寻甸府到交水很近，只是这条交错复杂，是近日以来东川府驮铜马匹所走出来的路。
初交水主人谓余： 有间道自寻甸出交水甚近，但其径多错，乃近日东川驼铜之骑所出。
When the water was handed over, the landlord told me: There is a small road from Xun County to the water that is very close, but this road is very complicated, and it is the road that the copper horses of Dongchuan Prefecture have taken in recent days.
