Lin Zexu: Swallowing A Hundred Rivers As It Is Virtuous Vast Is The Sea 林則徐 海納百川有容乃大
Famous Chinese Couplet
- by Lin Zexu (Lin Tse-hsu) (Qing Dynasty)
- Translated by Frank C Yue
Swallowing a hundred rivers,
As it is virtuous vast is the sea;
Towering thousands of feet high,
As it is desire-less the cliff's mighty.

海納百川有容乃大 (1)
