5. Mount Tai does not accept fine soil, so it is big; the sea does not accept small streams, so it is deep. ——Li Si

Translation: The reason why Mount Tai has such a height is precisely because it does not reject the small soil, and it can be built up to achieve today's achievements. The reason why rivers have such depth is precisely because they do not reject small streams and merge to form the current scale.
