《文心雕龙·物色》
山水川原实在是文思的深厚府库；描写它的文字过简就会显得不够完备，过详又显得繁冗。
若乃山林皋壤，实文思之奥府，略语则阙，详说则繁。
Mountains, rivers, and plains are indeed a profound repository of literary thought; writing about them in a concise manner would not be comprehensive enough, while writing about them in great detail would be too cumbersome.
