1. "Wang Yue"
Tang Dynasty: Du Fu
What about Dai Zongfu? Qilu is still young.
The clock of creation is beautiful, and the yin and yang cut off the dawn.
Zeng Yun is born in the chest, and the returning bird enters the canthus.
You will be at the top of the mountain, and you will have a panoramic view of the mountains.
Translation: How majestic is Mount Tai? Walking out of Qilu, you can still see the green peak. The magical nature brings together thousands of beautiful scenery, with mountains to the south and north separating morning and dusk. Layers of white clouds wash away the ravines in the chest; the returning birds fly into the eye sockets to enjoy the scenery. You must climb to the top of Mount Tai to overlook the mountains and feel full of pride.
2. "Climbing the Stork Tower"

The sun sets over the mountains and the Yellow River flows into the sea.
If you want to see a thousand miles away, take it to the next level.

3. "September 10th"
Tang Dynasty: Li Bai
I climbed up yesterday and raised my wine glass today.
Why are chrysanthemums so miserable, suffering from these two Double Ninth Festivals?

4. "Climbing High"
Tang Dynasty: Du Fu
The wind is strong, the sky is high, the ape is screaming in mourning, and the white bird is flying back from the clear sand in Zhugong.
Boundless falling trees rustle, and the endless Yangtze River rolls by.
Wanli is always a guest in the sad autumn, and he has been sick for hundreds of years and only appears on the stage.
Hard and bitter, I hate the frost on my temples, and my new wine glass becomes muddy.
Translation: The wind is strong and the sky is high. The cries of apes and monkeys look very sad. There are birds circling on the riverbank with clear water and white sand. The endless trees are rustling with fallen leaves, and the Yangtze River is rolling and rushing. I feel sad about the autumn scenery, wandering thousands of miles and being a guest all year round. I have been plagued by illnesses throughout my life and now I am alone on the high platform. After going through hardships and bitterness, my hair has grown white on my temples, and my heart is full of decadence and I have stopped drinking wine to drink my sorrow.
5. "Climbing Feilai Peak"
Song Dynasty: Wang Anshi
Feilai Mountain Qianxun Pagoda, I heard the rooster crow and saw the sun rising.
Don’t be afraid of the floating clouds covering your eyes, because you are at the highest level.
