Source: Li Daoyuan in the Northern Wei Dynasty's Notes on Water Classics and Records of Rivers: "The mountain said:' As the saying goes, there is a water disease in the gorge, and it is well known by the company and the mouth, so it is necessary to guard against fear. Never called the beauty of mountains and rivers. I was very happy when I visited this place. At first, I believed that what I heard was not as good as what I saw. " "
Songshan said: "People often say that the water in the canyon is fast, and what is recorded or passed down orally is a warning of fear. No one ever praised the beauty of mountains and rivers. I don't believe what I heard was better than what I saw with my own eyes until I came to this place and felt happy. "
