| | 禹贡: |
黑水、西河惟雍州。弱水既西，泾属渭汭，漆沮既从，沣水攸同。荆、岐既旅，终南、敦物，至于鸟鼠。原隰砥绩，至于猪野。三危既宅，三苗丕叙。厥土惟黄壤，厥田惟上上，厥赋中下。厥贡惟球、琳、琅玕。浮于积石，至于龙门、西河，会于渭汭。织皮崐崘、析支、渠搜，西戎即叙。 |
| Tribute of Yu: |
The Black-water and western He were (the boundaries of) Yong Zhou. The Weak-water was conducted westwards. The Jing was led to mingle its waters with those of the Wei. The Qi and the Zhu were next led in a similar way (to the Wei), and the waters of the Feng found the same receptacle. (The mountains) Jing and Qi were sacrificed to. (Those of) Zhong-nan and Dun-we (were also regulated), and (all the way) on to Niao-shu. Successful measures could now be taken with the plains and swamps, even to (the marsh of) Zhu-ye. (The country of) San-wei was made habitable, and the (affairs of the) people of San-miao were greatly arranged. The soil of the province was yellow and mellow. Its fields were the highest of the highest class, and its contribution of revenue the lowest of the second. Its articles of tribute were the qiu jade and the lin, and (the stones called) lang-gan. Past Ji-shi they floated on to Long-men on the western He. They then met on the north of the Wei (with the tribute-bearers from other quarters) Hair-cloth and skins (were brought from) Kun-lun, Xi-zhi, and Ju-sou; the wild tribes of the West (all) coming to (submit to Yu's) arrangements. |
| | 禹贡: |
导河、积石，至于龙门；南至于华阴，东至于砥柱，又东至于孟津，东过洛汭，至于大伾；北过降水，至于大陆；又北，播为九河，同为逆河，入于海。 |
| Tribute of Yu: |
He traced the He from Ji-shi as far as Long-men; and thence, southwards, to the north of (mount) Hua; eastward then to Di-zhu; eastward (again) to the ford of Meng; eastward (still) to the junction of the Luo; and then on to Da-pi. (From this the course was) northwards, past the Jiang-water, on to Da-lu; north from which the river was divided, and became the nine He, which united again, and formed the Meeting He, when they entered the sea. |
