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.
The language of this poem is natural and simple, but the image is realistic. There are no uncommon words in the whole poem, but the words are amazing, which can be called a peerless masterpiece. With the help of bold imagination, the poet exaggerates the extraordinary height of the mountain temple and vividly describes the towering mountain temple and the fear at night, thus presenting readers with an almost unimaginable magnificent building and giving people an immersive feeling.
Picking stars and shocking the world, these seemingly naive ideas are used by poets and used in poetry, which makes people feel interesting and return to nature.

With only a few strokes, this poem vividly shows people's joy, boldness, loveliness and frankness at heights.
