Wang Zhihuan

thumb|The sun along the mountain bows,the Yellow River seawards flows.You will enjoy a grander sightby climbing to a greater height. Wang Zhihuan (688–742) was a Chinese poet of the Tang dynasty. Quotes 白日依山尽，黄河入海流。欲穷千里目，更上一层楼。 The sun along the mountain bows,the Yellow River seawards flows.You will enjoy a grander sightby climbing to a greater height. "On the Stork Tower" (《登鹳雀楼》), trans. Yuanchong Xu 黄河远上白云间，一片孤城万仞山。羌笛何须怨杨柳，春风不度玉门关。 The yellow sand rises as high as white cloud;The lonely town is lost amid the mountains proud.Why should the Mongol flute complain no willows grow?Beyond the Jade Gate vernal wind will never blow!
