Looking at Lushan Waterfall, one of them
Climbing incense burner peak in the west and seeing waterfall water in the south.
the hanging flow is 3 feet, and the gully is dozens of miles.
It's like lightning, and it's like Bai Hong.
at first, the river fell, and it was half scattered in the sky.
if you look up, the situation will turn into a hero, and it will make you strong.
the sea breeze keeps blowing, and the moonlight on the river is still empty.
shooting in the air, washing the blue wall left and right.
flying beads disperse light clouds, and foam boils the dome stone.
while I am happy with famous mountains, I am interested in them.
no matter what you wash, you have to wash your face.
if you live in harmony, you will never leave the world.
Looking at Lushan Waterfall II
The incense burner in Rizhao produces purple smoke, and the waterfall hangs in front of Sichuan in the distance.
It's flying down three thousands of feet, and it's suspected that the Milky Way has set for nine days.

[ Edit this paragraph] Appreciation of Poetry
The incense burner refers to the incense burner peak of Lushan Mountain. "In the northwest of Lushan Mountain, its peak is round and the smoke clouds gather and disperse, like the incense burner of Boshan Mountain" (the music history "Taiping Universe").
However, when it comes to the poet Li Bai's pen, it becomes a different scene: an indomitable incense burner, with clouds of white smoke rising slowly in Ran Ran, ethereal between the green mountains and the blue sky, and turned into purple clouds under the irradiation of the red sun. This not only makes the incense burner peak more beautiful, but also romantic, creating an unusual background for the unusual waterfall. Then the poet turned his eyes to the waterfall on the mountain wall. "Looking at the waterfall hanging in front of the river", the first four words are the point; "Hanging in front of the river" is the first image of "looking", and the waterfall is like a huge white practice hanging high between mountains and rivers. The word "hanging" is wonderful, it turns from motion to stillness, and vividly shows the image of a pouring waterfall in "looking from a distance" The word "hang" also contains the poet's praise for the magical power of nature. The third sentence also describes the dynamics of waterfalls. "Flying down three thousands of feet", a stroke, forceful every word. The word "fly" vividly depicts the scene of the waterfall spewing out; "Straight down" not only describes the high and steep mountains, but also shows the urgency of the water flow. The sky is straight down, and it is unstoppable. However, the poet was not satisfied enough, and then he wrote a sentence, "It is suspected that the Milky Way has fallen for nine days". He really wants to fall out of the sky and amaze his soul. "Doubt is" is worth pondering. The poet clearly said it in a trance, and the readers know it is not, but they all think that it is only in this way that it is more vivid and realistic. The secret lies in the image that has been bred in the poet's previous description. The towering incense burner peak is hidden in the clouds and mist. Looking at the waterfall in the distance is like flying down from the clouds and falling in the sky, which is naturally associated with a galaxy falling from the sky. It can be seen that the metaphor of "Doubt is the Milky Way setting for nine days" is strange, but it does not come out of thin air in the poem, but naturally emerges from the portrayal of the image. It is exaggerated and natural, novel and true, thus arousing the whole article, making the whole image more colorful, magnificent and magnificent, which not only left a deep impression on people, but also gave people room for imagination, showing Li Bai's artistic style of "Wan Li falls, and the potential is still strong at the end".
Lushan Mountain has beautiful scenery, and the waterfall of incense burner peak is particularly spectacular. The poet wrote with great excitement. With exaggerated metaphor and romantic imagination, the two sentences focus on pen and ink to further describe the image of the waterfall. "Flying" is about mountains and high waters, "straight down" is about waterfalls, and "Three thousands of feet" is about exaggerating the spectacular waterfalls. It can be said that every word is full of pearls and stones. The last sentence compares the waterfall to the bright galaxy, which is vivid and appropriate, and one of the words "doubt" is straightforward and meaningful.
