If you want to see the scenery of Wan Li, please climb the building again.
From: Wang Zhihuan's Lu Ting Ji in Tang Dynasty.
Original text:
The sun sets slowly near the western hills, and the Yellow River flows into the East China Sea.
By going up one flight of stairs, look further.
Translation:
Sunset gradually sets beside the mountain, and the surging Yellow River rushes to the sea. If you want to see the scenery of Wan Li, please climb the building again.
Extended data:
The first two sentences of the poem are written and seen. "The Mountain Covers the Day" is about the view, the mountain and the scenery seen when climbing the building, and "The River with the Ocean Discharging Gold" is about the close-up view, the water is spectacular and magnificent. Here, the poet captured the rivers and mountains of Wan Li in a very simple and plain language with just ten words;
Later, when people read these ten words a thousand years later, they felt like they were underground. If they see the scenery, they will feel that their minds are open. Looking into the distance, a touch of sunset sank to the endless rolling mountains in front of the building and disappeared into Ran Ran at the end of the field of vision. This is the sky view, the distant view and the western view.
The second sentence is about the Yellow River flowing through the front and bottom of the building, roaring south, then turning east in the distance and flowing to the sea. This is from the ground to the horizon, from near to far, from west to east. When these two poems are combined, the scenery of up and down, far and near, and things are all contained under the pen, which makes the picture look particularly broad and distant.
As far as the second poem is concerned, the poet can't see the Yellow River entering the sea from the stork building. The sentence is written in the middle of the poem, which is a way to combine the foreground with the sky. This writing increases the breadth and depth of the picture. Calling the sun "daytime" is a realistic style.
The setting sun holds the mountain, and the clouds cover the fog. At this time, the brightness of the weakened sun is even dimmer, and the poet directly observes the wonders of the sun. As for the "Yellow River". Of course it is also realistic. It flies like a golden ribbon in the mountains.
Write the last two sentences. "But you have broadened your horizons by three hundred miles", a poet's endless desire to explore, wants to see further and see where his eyesight can reach. The only way is to stand higher and "walk up a flight of stairs".
It can be inferred from the second half of the poem that the first half was written on the second floor (not the highest floor), and the poet wanted to see the distant scenery as far as possible, and even climbed to the top floor of the building. The word "Lou" at the end also plays the role of a point, indicating that this is a poem about climbing stairs.
This poem seems to describe the process of climbing stairs straightforwardly, but its significance is far-reaching and people can explore it. "A thousand miles" and "the first floor" are imaginary numbers, which are both vertical and horizontal spaces in the poet's imagination. The words "to be poor" and "to be better" contain many hopes and longings.
These two poems are not only novel and unexpected, but also very natural and close to the first two poems, thus pushing this poem to a higher level and showing readers a broader vision. It is precisely because of this that these two sentences with simple philosophy have become famous sentences that have been passed down through the ages, and this poem has also become a swan song.

2. What are the famous sayings about "broadening your horizons" 1? If you didn't smell it, if you didn't see it, if you didn't know it, if you knew it, you wouldn't do it. -Zhao Xunzi's Xunzi Confucianism at the end of the Warring States Period.
Vernacular translation: it is better to smell than not to smell, to see than to smell, to know than to see, and to know than to do.
It is best for a husband to see what he hears, but it is best to practice what he sees, and it is best to distinguish by hand. -Liu Xiang's "Talking about Li Yuanzheng" in Han Dynasty
When you hear what others say you don't want to see in person, it's better to operate what you see in person than to analyze what you see in person.
