Don’t dare to speak loudly for fear of frightening the people in heaven

The first sentence depicts the steep, straight and towering temple towers from the front. Entering the clouds. The word "risk" at the beginning is very eye-catching. The clever combination with the word "高" in the same sentence accurately, vividly and vividly describes the extraordinary momentum of the mountain temple standing on the top of the mountain and looking down on the world. came out.
The second sentence uses extremely exaggerated techniques to highlight the towering sky of the mountain temple. Each word directs the reader's aesthetic sight to the bright starry night sky. Instead of feeling "it's too cold at high places", it actually It gives people a sense of vastness, and uses the beauty of the starry night to arouse people's yearning for the "dangerous building" that towers into the clouds.
Three or four sentences of "dare not" describe the author's psychology when he approaches the "dangerous building" at night. From the poet's "dare not" and deep "fear" mentality, we can fully imagine the close distance between the "mountain temple" and the "heavenly man". In this way, the height of the mountain temple is self-evident.
< p>Here, the poet used his bold imagination to exaggerate the extraordinary height of the mountain temple, thereby showing us an almost unimaginable magnificent building.
