well-known chinese philosophical poetry in Song Dynasty-中国宋朝著名哲理诗

《题西林壁》

[宋] 苏轼

    横看成岭侧成峰，远近高低各不同；
    不识庐山真面目，只缘身在此山中。

Written on the wall at West Forest Temple

By Su Shi

Lu Shan looks a long range from the side，
But from one of the ends it looks a peak.
From near or far, and from high or low,
Mountain Lu Shan looks not the same.
You can’t see the true face of Lu Shan,
Because you are lost whthin it yourself.
So things must be observed objectively
From points of view as many as possible.
