On the Stork Tower
Wang Zhihuan

The sun along the mountain bows;
The Yellow River seawards flows.
You will enjoy a grander sight;
By climbing to a greater height.

This poem is one of the only six quatrains left by poet Wang Zhihuan of the Tang Dynasty. When writing this poem, Wang Zhihuan was only 35 years old. Poetry critics in the Qing Dynasty believe that "This poetry is just 20 words, the main idea of the front cross has been exhausted, and the rear cross has the potential of thousands of miles within 10 words." This poem is the culmination of the five character poem of the Tang Dynasty. WangZhihuan is known for the ages because of this five-character poem, and the Stork Tower is also famous in China for this poem.
