白白日日依依山山盡尽
黃黄河河入入海海流流
欲欲窮穷千千里里目目
更更上上一一層层樓楼
About this text
Twenty characters, and the last couplet became a proverb: to see farther, climb higher (欲窮千里目，更上一層樓). The first couplet is pure landscape — sun down the mountains, river to the sea — and the second turns that vastness into a rule for living.
白話 · in plain Chinese
白日依傍著群山漸漸沉落，黃河奔流著注入大海。想要看盡千里之外的風光，就要再登上一層樓。白日依傍著群山渐渐沉落，黄河奔流著注入大海。想要看尽千里之外的风光，就要再登上一层楼。
