How to understand Li Bai's "Sleeping Mountain Temple" that "a dangerous building is 100 feet high, and the hand can pick up the stars"?

The poem Sleeping in the Temple of the Mountain uses exaggerated techniques to write the Temple of the Mountain (a towering building) and the night (a beautiful starry night) very realistically, giving people an immersive feeling.

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:

Dangerous building height 100 feet. How high is the temple building described in 100 words? 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 little 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.

In the eyes of ancient philosophers in China, the ideal personality to realize "carefree travel" is to return to nature, abandon man-made, interact with the endless sun, moon, stars, rivers and earth, and blend into infinite nature, so that heaven and man, things and me enter the sacred realm of unity.

Sleeping in the mountain temple creates this free realm of truth, goodness and beauty.
