The creative background of "Staying in the Mountain Temple at Night"
This song "Staying in the Mountain Temple at Night" is generally believed to be composed by Li Bai in Huangmei County, Hubei Province , written about Jiangxin Temple on the top of Caisheng Mountain in Huangmei County. Li Bai spent the night in a temple deep in the mountains. He found a very tall Buddhist scripture building behind the temple, so he climbed up. Leaning on the railing and overlooking the twinkling stars, Li Bai became very poetic and wrote this short poem about his travels and scenery.
The first sentence depicts the temple towers from the front, towering into the clouds. The word "danger" at the beginning is very eye-catching, and 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 looking at the world.
