Standing on the tall building, I saw the sunset slowly setting beside the mountains, and the surging Yellow River rushed to the sea. If you want to see the scenery thousands of miles away, you must climb a higher tower.

The extraordinary ambition of the poet in this poem reflects the enterprising spirit of the people in the prosperous Tang Dynasty.
The first two sentences of the poem are written and seen. "The Mountain Covers the Day" is about the view, the mountain and the scenery seen when climbing the building, and "The River with the Ocean Discharging Gold" is about the close-up view, the water is spectacular and magnificent. Here, the poet captured the rivers and mountains of Wan Li in a very simple and plain language with just ten words; Later, when people read these ten words a thousand years later, they felt like they were underground. If they see the scenery, they will feel that their minds are open.
