Introduction:
The poem Sleeping in the Mountain Temple was once selected as a primary school Chinese textbook, which is generally considered to be the work of Li Bai, a great poet in the Tang Dynasty.
Original poem:
One Night Mountain Temple in 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.
Explanation:
The high-rise building of the temple on the mountain is really high, it seems to be 100 feet. People upstairs seem to be able to pick off the stars in the sky with one hand.
Standing here, I dare not speak loudly for fear of disturbing the gods in the sky.
Extended data:
Li Bai yearned for the life of wandering immortals all his life. In his creation, he supplemented or organized the picture with wandering immortals, dreams or dreamland. In the virtual description, he expresses his ideal and Wang Yang feelings more wantonly. When surging poetry cannot be accommodated by ordinary images, romantic poets often expand their imagination and control their words with qi to realize artistic deformation.
Sleeping in the Mountain Temple is such a poem, which not only reflects the poet's romantic feelings, but also reflects the character of advocating Zhuang and Lao in the prosperous Tang Dynasty, transcending reality, being liberated in returning to the fields and publicizing personality.
The poet took exaggeration and imagination to the extreme, described the height of temple architecture step by step, and showed the poet's transcendence consciousness of being close to heaven and earth and nature.
The first sentence, "The dangerous building is 100 feet high", uses 100 words to describe the height of the temple building. How high is it? Hands can pick stars. Climbing to the top floor, reaching out seems to be able to pick the stars.
Three or four sentences pushed the imagination to the extreme. "I dare not speak loudly for fear of scaring people." The poet stood upstairs, afraid to speak loudly, for fear of disturbing the gods in the sky. It turns out that we can be so close to the extraordinary nature!
This poem is a bit exaggerated, but it makes people feel the same. Can't help but admire Li Taibai's surging poetry and fantastic imagination. This kind of thing and imagination embodies the aesthetic pursuit of nature by ancient philosophers in China, that is, the freedom to return to life and the carefree life realm.
