Climbing Feilai Peak
王安石
飞来山上千寻塔
闻说鸡鸣见日升
不畏浮云遮望眼
自缘身在最高层

On Feilai Mountain a thousand-fathom tower; they say at cockcrow you see sunrise. I fear no floating clouds blocking the eye—because I stand on the highest floor.
Viewpoint depends on where you stand.
王安石《登飞来峰》：不畏浮云遮望眼——站得高，才不被近处的云挡住。政治诗也是认识论语。站高一步，近处的云就没那么有权。今日：舆论雾重时，先升高信息源，再发言。
Wang Anshi’s Feilai Peak: unafraid of floating clouds blocking the eye—height keeps near fog from owning the view. Political verse as epistemology. Today: when opinion-fog thickens, raise your sources before you speak.
与其抱怨浮云，不如问自己站在第几层。
Before blaming clouds, check which floor you are on.
