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.
The poet spent the night in a temple in the deep mountains, and found a high Buddhist scripture-storing building behind the temple, so he climbed it. Looking at the distance from the railing, there are many stars. Li Bai wrote this short poem about a scenic trip full of poetry.

When the Anshi Rebellion broke out, Li Bai traveled to Huashan, went south to Xuancheng and then to Lushan.

After Wang Yong angered Tang Suzong and was killed, Li Bai was also found guilty and imprisoned. Thanks to Guo Ziyi's protection, he was saved from death. He changed to Yelang (now Guanling County, Guizhou Province) and was pardoned when passing through Wushan. After Li Bai was pardoned, he traveled to the south of the Yangtze River. In the first year of Baoying (762), he died in his apartment at the age of 6 1 and was buried in Longshan, Dangtu.
