无人扶我青云志,我自踏雪至山巅
大丈夫当朝游碧海而暮苍梧
登黄山,天下无山,观止矣!
五岳归来不看山,黄山归来不看岳
登黄山,天下无山,观止矣!
故不探江源,不知其大于河,不与河相提而论,不知其源之远
无人扶我青云志,我自踏雪至山巅

我只是个平民,没有受命,只是穿着布衣,拿着拐杖,穿着草鞋,凭借自己,游历天下,故虽死,无憾。
I am but a commoner, not commissioned by any emperor. I simply wear plain clothes, carry a staff, and wear straw sandals, relying on myself to travel. Thus, even if I die, I have no regrets.
—徐霞客
