The ancient stone steps carved into Chinese mountains — at Taishan, Huangshan, and hundreds of pilgrimage peaks — were built one stone at a time, by people who carried those stones up on their backs. The path was the work before the work. Chinese pilgrimage tradition understood that the climb was not incidental to reaching the summit — it was the whole point.

Each step up is the destination, not just the means. The person who climbs these steps is not the same at the top as at the bottom.

Every step counts. Not just the arrival. You are already on your way.
