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.

Vernacular translation:

The sun shines on the incense burner peak, producing purple smoke. Seen from a distance, the waterfall hangs in front of the mountain like a long river. As if three thousands of feet waters were running down, did the Milky Way descend from the cliff for nine days?

Extended data:

This poem is generally believed to have been written by Li Bai when he visited Lushan Mountain for the first time on his way to Jinling in the 13th year of Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty (725). Professor Wu Xiaoru believes that these two poems of Li Bai are different in genre and partly repetitive in content, which are not temporary works. According to Ren Hua's poem "Miscellaneous Words for Li Bai" in Selected Poems of Li Bai, Mr. Zhan Ai thinks that the first five ancient poems were written by Li Bai before he entered Chang 'an in Kaiyuan years.

According to a constant habit in my life, Li Bai showed the aura of the poet's name in the beautiful scenery of Lushan Mountain. He is imaginative, imaginative, magnificent, passionate, natural and fresh as a river and clear as a cloud. The aesthetic characteristics of his poems are the beauty of nature, frankness and freedom. These two poems have such aesthetic characteristics.
