The mountain is near the moon. The closest thing to this philosophy is that the mountain is in the moon.

A poem similar to the philosophy of "the mountain is smaller than the moon, and the road is bigger than the moon" is "I don't know the true face of Lushan Mountain, but I am only in this mountain". Both of these poems emphasize that we should look at things beyond our own limitations, and the appearance of things often varies with different perspectives.

The mountain is near the moon, and the moon is small.

The mountain is near the moon and small, which originated from Wang Shouren's "Covering the Moon". The whole poem is as follows:

The mountain is smaller than the moon and the sidewalk is bigger than the moon.

If a person's eyes are as big as the sky, he should see that the mountains are higher and the moon is wider.

The mountain is near the moon, and I think the moon is small. Some people say that the mountain is bigger than the moon.

If someone has a broad vision, they will find that not only the mountains are high, but also the moon is wider!
