Dengcheng Stork Tower

Wang Zhilu? [Tang Dynasty]

The white sun ends at the mountains, the Yellow River flows into the sea.

Wanting to see a thousand miles, I climbed one floor higher.

Translation

The sun sets slowly against the mountains, and the mighty Yellow River rushes toward the sea.

If you want to see the scenery thousands of miles away, then you have to climb up to a higher level of the city.

Poetry

The highlight of this poem lies in the phrase "To see beyond a thousand miles, one must climb one more floor". These two lines imply the philosophy of life that "only when you stand tall can you see far", and express the poet's love for the great mountains and rivers of the motherland.

The first two lines of the poem depict the scene of the setting sun slowly falling against the green hills and the Yellow River gushing into the sea, which is majestic and magnificent, giving people a sense of relaxation and openness; the last two lines of the poem are about the poet's feeling of seeing far away, and the poet's reasoning is triggered by the descriptions of the scenery, that only by standing higher can we appreciate the more beautiful scenery, and that we should also stand higher when we think about problems and do things. Similarly, when we think of problems and do things, we also need to stand higher in order to see farther and think more y. The whole poem is beautifully written, in-depth reasoning, people will remember.
