老子曰:“合抱之木,生于毫末;九层之台,起于累土;千里之行,始于足下。”“九台”之名即源于此,寓意:做大事要从小事做起,雄心壮志必须要脚踏实地,远大的目标要一步一步去完成。 Lao Tzu said: “The wood of the heavens was born in the celestial bodies; the terrace of nine floors started from the tired soil; the journey of thousands of miles started with the foot.” The name “Jiutai” stems from this meaning: Starting, ambition must be down-to-earth, ambitious goals to be completed step by step.
