Extended data:

This song "Sleeping in the Mountain Temple" is generally considered to be the work of Li Bai, written in Huangmei County, Hubei Province, and is about Jiangxin Temple on the top of Caishanfeng Mountain 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.

Since the 1980s, the content of Li Bai's poem Sleeping in the Mountain Temple in primary school Chinese textbooks should be the content of Li Bai's juvenile poem "Going upstairs", which is actually Li Bai's poem "Yuewanglou in Mianzhou". When Li Bai was middle-aged, he wrote Tifengfeng Temple in Huangmei County, which was derived from Notes on Shao's Experience, Notes on Houjie by Zhao and Diaoxi Fishery Talk by Hu Zai.
