YouTube above not applicable? watch full video at Bilibili: 望岳
Du Fu in youth time was a totally different figure from his image in an average Chinese mind. This poem not only reflected a great time , but a brave young man with great ambition, which might be the most great time in Chinese history and most ambitious dream expressed by a poem.
The importance of the East Sacred Mountain or Tai Mountain was analysed in depth, which is a key to understand this poem.
望岳
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。
