Gazing at Mount Tai
杜甫
岱宗夫如何
齐鲁青未了
造化钟神秀
阴阳割昏晓

泰山如何？齐鲁青未了；造化钟神秀，阴阳割昏晓。
Young Du Fu faces Tai—mountain, yin-yang, and ambition together.
杜甫《望岳》：会当凌绝顶——未登而先有凌云之志；山是自我高度的镜子。可与《登高》并读：一望一登，壮与悲不同调。今日：目标尚远时，先把「绝顶」在心里立住。
Du Fu’s Gazing at Mount Tai: one day to the sheer summit—ambition before ascent; the mountain mirrors height of self. Pair with Climbing High: gaze vs climb, different keys. Today: while far off, plant the summit clearly inside.
大目标先看全貌——不必一步登顶，先承认山的存在。
For a big goal, first acknowledge the mountain—no need to summit in one step.
Read first, then practice — fill in lines and write a character.

This poem belongs to a place on the map—open the landscape to read both together.
