话说春秋时期,卫国有个贤臣叫子路,他为人正直,乐于助人,深受百姓爱戴。有一次,子路外出办事,途遇一位老农在田埂上艰难地锄地。子路见状,连忙上前帮忙,老农非常感激。临别时,老农指着不远处的一座高山说:“年轻人,你就像那座高山一样,高尚而令人敬仰!”子路听了,深受感动,更加努力地为百姓谋福利。后来,“高山仰止”的故事传遍了全国,人们用它来形容对高尚品德的敬佩之情。

In the Spring and Autumn period, there was a virtuous minister in the State of Wei named Zilu. He was honest, kind and deeply loved by the people. Once, Zilu was out on business when he met an old farmer struggling to weed on a field ridge. Seeing this, Zilu quickly went to help, and the old farmer was very grateful. As they parted, the old farmer pointed to a mountain in the distance and said, “Young man, you are like that mountain, noble and worthy of admiration!” Zilu was deeply moved and worked even harder for the welfare of the people. Later, the story of "Gāo shān yǎng zhǐ" spread throughout the country, and people used it to express their admiration for noble moral character.
