Learn the Chinese poem Climbing Stork Tower with ShaoLan - a podcast by Chineasy by ShaoLan

"Climbing Stork Tower (????/????; d?ng guàn què lóu) is part of the 300 Tang Poems. This poem was written by ??? (Wang Zhihuan) of the Tang Dynasty. Only six of Wang's poems survive today, and two of them are introduced in the 300 Tang Poems.

Although the poem has a simple literal meaning, its spirit is profound. Our universe is eternal. One could only have a higher vision by getting up there, above the cloud. The poem poetically represents our unlimited progress in life and soul searching."
