Yeshan temple
Li Bai [Tang Dynasty]
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.

This is a short poem about travel and scenery. The content of the poem records Li Bai's interesting experience of visiting the temple at night. There is not a rare word in the whole poem. From beginning to end, it vividly describes the extraordinary height of the mountain temple and the wonder of the starry night with the technique of "exaggeration".
"Dangerous buildings are hundreds of feet high, and you can pick stars with your hands." These two sentences are about the height of a mountain temple. The first sentence depicts a steep, straight and towering temple building. The word "danger" is eye-catching and eye-catching. The ingenious combination with the word "high" in the same sentence accurately, vividly and vividly depicts the extraordinary momentum of the mountain temple standing on the top of the mountain and dominating the world. The second sentence uses extremely exaggerated techniques to set off towering peaks and temples. Every word leads the reader's aesthetic sight to the splendid night sky of Xinghan. Instead of feeling "too cold at the top", it gives people a broad feeling. The beauty of starry night arouses people's yearning for towering "dangerous buildings".
"I dare not speak loudly, for fear of scaring people." "Dare" describes the author's psychological state when he is in a dangerous building at night in two sentences. From the poet's psychology of "dare" and "fear", readers can completely imagine the distance between "Mountain Temple" and "Heaven and Man", so the height of Mountain Temple is self-evident.
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.

With only a few strokes, this poem vividly shows people's joy, boldness, loveliness and frankness at heights.
