What scenery did Li Bai imagine in the poem Looking at Lushan Waterfall?

The poem of "Looking at Lushan Waterfall" in Li Bai's imagination is: Flying down three thousands of feet, it is suspected that the Milky Way has set for nine days. This means that there seems to be three feet of dry water flowing straight down. Is it that the Milky Way has fallen from the cliff for nine days?

Original text:

Wanglushan Waterfall

Tang Dynasty: Li Bai

The purple mist is illuminated by sunlight, and the waterfall hangs in front of the mountain.

On the high cliff, it seems to be thousands of feet high, which makes people think that the Milky Way has fallen from heaven to earth.

The incense burner peak is covered with purple mist under the sunlight. From a distance, the waterfall looks like white silk hanging in front of the mountain. There seem to be several waterfalls in thousands of feet on the high cliff, which makes people suspect that the Milky Way fell from the sky to the ground.

Appreciate:

The first two sentences of the poem outline a panoramic view from the big picture: purple smoke fills the air at the top of the mountain, white practice hangs in the mountain, and rapids rush down the mountain, forming a magnificent picture.

The third sentence, "Flying down three thousands of feet", is eloquent and forceful. The word "fly" vividly depicts the scene of the waterfall spewing out; "Straight down" not only describes the steep slope of the mountain, but also indicates the urgency of the water flow. The sky is falling and unstoppable.

The poet was not satisfied, but wrote another sentence, "It is suspected that the Milky Way has fallen for nine days", which really made him want to fall from the sky and be shocked by heaven. "Doubt is" is worth pondering. The poet clearly said it in a trance, and the readers know that it is not, but they all think that only in this way can it be more vivid and true. 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. Looking at the waterfall in the distance is like flying down from the clouds and falling in the sky, which naturally associates with a galaxy falling from the sky. It can be seen that although the metaphor of "doubt is the milky way for nine days" is strange, it does not appear out of thin air in the poem, but naturally emerges from the portrayal of the image.
