In the Heron Tower is a poem by Wang Zhihuan, a poet in the Tang Dynasty (the work of Zhu Bin). The first two sentences of this poem are about natural scenery, but when you start writing, you will shrink Wan Li at your fingertips, so that you can have Wan Li at your fingertips. The last two sentences are freehand brushwork, surprisingly written, and philosophy is seamlessly integrated with scenery and situation. The poet's mind, under the shock of nature, has realized a simple and profound philosophy, which can urge people to abandon their superficial knowledge, climb high and look far, and constantly open up new and better realms.
Poet critics in Qing Dynasty thought: "Wang's poems are just two crosses, the first cross has done its best, and the last cross has a thousand miles." Although the length of this poem is short, it draws the majestic momentum and magnificent scene of the mountains and rivers in the north, which has been inspiring the Chinese nation for thousands of years. In particular, the last two sentences are often quoted to express a positive exploration and unlimited enterprising attitude towards life. Today, this poem appears in important political and diplomatic occasions in China countries from time to time.
Original: The mountains cover the day, and the ocean drains the golden river. Climbing another floor to see a tall building thousands of miles away, I saw the sunset slowly sinking next to the mountains and the surging Yellow River heading for the sea. If you want to see the scenery thousands of miles away, you have to climb to a higher level.
