Stay overnight in the mountain temple
——Li Bai of the Tang Dynasty
The dangerous building is a hundred feet high, and you can pick the stars with your hands.
Don’t dare to speak loudly for fear of frightening the heavens.
[Note]
Dangerous building: high building, here refers to the temple built on the top of the mountain.
Hundred feet: imaginary, not a real number, used here to describe a very tall building.
Stars: The collective name for the stars in the sky. Fear: I'm afraid.

The second sentence uses extremely exaggerated techniques to highlight the towering sky of the mountain temple, and every word leads the reader's aesthetic vision to the brilliant Xinghan. The night sky, instead of feeling like "it's too cold at high places", gives people a sense of vastness. The beauty of the starry night arouses people's yearning for the "dangerous buildings" that tower into the clouds.
Three or four sentences of "No." "Dare" describes the author's mental state when he came to the "dangerous building" at night. From the poet's "dare not" and deep "fear" mentality, we can fully imagine the close distance between the "mountain temple" and the "heavenly man". In this way , the height of the mountain temple is self-evident.
Here, the poet used his bold imagination to exaggerate the extraordinary height of the mountain temple, thereby showing us an almost unimaginable magnificent building
