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
荡胸生曾云
决眦入归鸟
会当凌绝顶
一览众山小
dài zōng fú rú hé
qí lǔ qīng wèi liǎo
zào huà zhōng shén xiù
yīn yáng gē hūn xiǎo
dàng xiōng shēng céng yún
jué zì rù guī niǎo
huì dāng líng jué dǐng
yī lǎn zhòng shān xiǎo
What is Dai Zong like? Green of Qi and Lu never ends. Creation gathers divine beauty here; yin-yang splits dusk and dawn… I shall climb the summit someday and see all mountains small.
Ambition tempered by awe before Mount Tai.
杜甫《望岳》：岱宗夫如何——齐鲁青未了，是未登之敬。胸中已有绝顶。与同题不同篇互参亦可。未登之敬，已经是一种高度。今日：敬畏不必等到站上顶峰才开始。
Du Fu’s Gazing at Mount Tai: how is the Dai ancestral peak—Qi-Lu green unfinished; reverence before climbing. The summit already in the chest. Today: awe need not wait until you stand on top.
先好好「望」，再谈登顶；目标需要敬畏，而不只是口号。
Gaze carefully before you summit—ambition needs awe, not only slogans.
