Re: 1.望嶽 Wàng yuè

We have nowhere to discuss his intro, but
"c is like ‘ts’ in ‘tsetse fly’"
Is this a word people generally know how to pronounce!

Also, I do not find the mix of various romanticization strategies to be more comprehensible, but okay.

Baike glosses that the 'divide the dawn from the dark' is that the mountain is so high that its north and south have different levels of brightness

Baike also tries to justify the 夫, which is some kind of modal particle, yet reading it just made me more confused about what it's doing there. It doesn't have a meaning, and is needed for ... vivid portrayal? a unique deftness????
