Overnight temple
Tang Dynasty: Li Bai
The tall buildings of the temple on the mountain are really high, like a hundred feet. People upstairs are like a hand that can pick off the stars in the sky.
Standing here, I dare not speak loudly for fear of disturbing the gods in the sky.

Poets use exaggerated artistic techniques to describe towering mountain temples, giving people rich associations. The buildings on the mountain seem to be 100 feet high, and the poet can pick up the stars in the sky with his hands when standing on the roof. I dare not speak loudly here, for fear of disturbing the gods in the sky.
The language of this poem is natural and simple, but the image is realistic. There are no uncommon words in the whole poem, but the words are amazing, which can be called a peerless masterpiece. With the help of bold imagination, the poet exaggerates the extraordinary height of the mountain temple and vividly describes the towering mountain temple and the fear at night, thus presenting readers with an almost unimaginable magnificent building and giving people an immersive feeling.
Picking stars and shocking the world, these seemingly naive ideas are used by poets and used in poetry, which makes people feel interesting and return to nature.
Li Bai's poetic style is bold and vigorous, his imagination is extremely rich, his language is naturally euphemistic, his temperament is changeable and harmonious, and he is full of romanticism.
