The original text of this poem is as follows:
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.
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.
This poem depicts the towering buildings in the temple in an extremely exaggerated way, expressing the poet's amazement at the engineering art of ancient temples and his yearning and pursuit of immortal life. The language of the whole poem is simple and natural, the imagination is magnificent, and the exaggeration is clever and vivid, giving people rich associations and immersive feelings.

The Creative Background of Sleeping in the Mountain Temple
This song "Sleeping in the Mountain Temple" was written by Li Bai of Huangmei County, Hubei Province, and it is about Jiangxin Temple on the top of Caishan Peak in Huangmei County. But there are also different views. In March, 2006, Journal of Southwest University of Science and Technology (Philosophy and Social Sciences Edition) published Li Deshu's article "Li Bai's Poems on Going Upstairs and a Textual Research on Tifengfeng Temple and Yesushan Temple", and thought that Li Bai's poems in Huangmei County, Hubei Province were Tifengfeng Temple.
Li Bai's poetic style is bold and vigorous, his imagination is extremely rich, his language is naturally euphemistic, his temperament is changeable and harmonious, and he is full of romanticism. With only a few strokes, this poem vividly shows people's joy, boldness, loveliness and frankness at heights.
