天若无雪霜，青松不如草。地若无山川，何人众乐道

唐楷五绝诗一首。

Without snow and frost, evergreen pine will be worse off than grass. Without mountains and rivers, what is there to delight in achieve our personal goals and fulfillment?

Without snow and frost, pine will not be better off than grass. Without challenging obstacles like mountains and rivers to overcome, what is there to delight in?

“千里始足下，高山起微尘。吾道亦如此，行之贵日新”

白居易五绝诗一首。

A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step; even high mountains are made of tiny specks of dust. My pursuit is like this too; every day is an opportunity to learn and seek new experiences.

Bai Juyi, Tang Dynasty Poet

The first poem expresses the idea that challenges and obstacles are necessary for growth and development, just as snow, frost, mountains, and rivers are essential to the natural world. Without these obstacles, life would be too easy and meaningless. The comparison between pine and grass highlights the resilience and adaptability of life. As pine can thrive even in difficult circumstances.

The second poem emphasizes the importance of persistence and steady progress in achieving one's goals, using the metaphor of a long journey and the gradual accumulation of effort.
