This song "Sleeping in the Mountain Temple" was written by Li Bai, a poet in Huangmei County, Hubei Province, and it is about Jiangxin Temple on the top of Caishan Peak in Huangmei County. Li Bai stayed in Jiangxin Temple for one night, and found a high Buddhist scripture-storing building behind the temple, so he boarded it. Looking at the railing, there are many stars, and Li Bai is full of poetry, so he wrote this short poem about his travels and scenery.
At the beginning, the words "a dangerous building is 100 feet high, and the hand can pick the stars" are probably the height of a mountain temple. The first sentence depicts a steep, straight and towering mountain temple. Of course, this building can't be 100 feet high. "100 foot" is both an exaggeration and an imaginary number, which is the height of the mountain temple. At the same time, with the word "danger" as the leading word, it is eye-catching, and then skillfully combined with the word "high", the extraordinary momentum of the mountain temple standing on the top of the mountain and dominating the world is vividly displayed.
The second sentence highlights the towering sky of the temple in an extremely exaggerated way: (standing upstairs) it seems that you can pick stars. Such a dangerous building not only makes people feel timid, but also makes people yearn for it.
Then, the poet "dare not speak loudly for fear of disturbing people" continued to move forward step by step. Standing here, you can not only pick up the stars, but also dare not speak loudly, for fear of disturbing the gods in heaven. "Dare not" describes the poet's psychological state when he comes to a tall building at night. From the poet's psychology of "dare not" and "fear of earthquake", readers can completely imagine the distance between "Mountain Temple" and "Heaven and Man", so the height of Mountain Temple is self-evident. At the same time, it also expresses the poet's yearning and pursuit of immortal life.
Poetry came to an abrupt end. Like running water, a towering mountain temple is completed in one go. As it is now, it seems that you can really "climb to the top and pick up the stars, which is amazing", which is really wonderful.
What kind of poet Li Bai is.
He was a singer in the heyday of Tang Dynasty. When he vomited, he was half angry. He was called "fallen immortal" by fanatical poets and praised as a poet by later generations. His poems are the treasures of China culture, and his romantic feelings are the hymns of Chinese civilization. He is a man who made the great poet Du Fu willing to be his younger brother.
Among the poets in the prosperous Tang Dynasty, Wang Wei and Meng Haoran were good at the five verses, while Wang Changling and Wang Zhihuan wrote the seven verses very well, but only Li Bai was good at both.
