To the Western Mountain.
This refers to a man, an exalted sage, who has already put the turmoil
of the world behind him. But a follower appears who understands him and
is not to be put off. So the sage comes back into the world and aids
the other in his work. Thus there develops an eternal tie between the
two.
The allegory is chosen from the annals of the Chou dynasty. The rulers
of this dynasty honored men who had served them well by awarding them a
place in the royal family's temple of ancestors on the Western
Mountain. In this way they were regarded as sharing in the destiny of
the ruling family.
