Wang Yue
Original:
what a majestic sight of holy Mountain Tai!? Out of Qilu, still visible the green peak.
the Maker endowed all the mystic Nature grace here, and? a day at once into dawn and dusk comes by..
Ceng Yun, and the birds fly back and forth before my strained eye..
once climbing to the top of the peek, one would see, the other mountains all appear dwarfs under the sky..
Creative background:
In the 23rd year of the reign of Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty (735), the poet went to Luoyang to be a scholar, but he came back last. In the 24th year of the reign of Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty (736), the 24-year-old poet began to lead an unruly roaming life. The author traveled north to Qi and Zhao (now Henan, Hebei, Shandong and other places), and his first poem was written during his roaming. The second poem was written in the author's middle age, when the prime minister Fang Yi was punished for losing his teacher in Chen Tao, and he was demoted and frustrated for resisting the rescue. The third song was written in the author's twilight years.
