中平功勤一篑可成山
由少而多莫惮烦
作事畏辛今汝画

Basic reading
AI-assisted readingThe poem in plain language
Baskets of earth gradually make a mountain, and the poem urges patience with modest additions. It then warns against drawing a limit for oneself through fear of difficulty. Nüwa refining stones to mend the sky provides a grand encouragement to sustained effort, not a promise that every undertaking will succeed.
The central idea
A mountain begins with small additions, and even mending the sky is pictured through effort. The verse encourages perseverance against premature surrender. It values steady work without promising that hardship can overcome every limit.
