What is the significance of Wanglushan Waterfall?

The poem "Looking at Lushan Waterfall" expresses the poet's infinite love for the great rivers and mountains of the motherland. This poem was written by Li Bai, a poet in the Tang Dynasty. The original text of this poem is as follows:

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.

In the vernacular, it means that the incense burner peak produces purple mist under the irradiation of sunlight, and a waterfall hangs in front of the mountain like white satin from a distance. There seem to be several waterfalls in thousands of feet on the high cliff, which makes people think that the Milky Way has fallen from the sky to the ground.

Extended data

This poem is a landscape poem written by the poet Li Bai when he lived in seclusion in Lushan Mountain at about fifty years old. This poem vividly depicts the magnificent scenery of Lushan Waterfall and reflects the poet's infinite love for the great rivers and mountains of the motherland.

The "incense burner" in the first sentence "Purple smoke from Rizhao incense burner" refers to the incense burner peak of Lushan Mountain, which is sharp and round in shape and resembles a incense burner in the northwest of Lushan Mountain. Waterfalls flow down and water vapor evaporates. In the bright sunshine, Ran Ran seems to have an indomitable incense burner, and clouds of purple smoke rise, setting off a magnificent background for the waterfalls.

The word "overlooking the waterfall" in the second sentence "overlooking the waterfall in Qianchuan" takes care of the title "overlooking the waterfall in Lushan". "Hanging thousands of rivers" means that the waterfall is like a huge white practice, hanging straight from the cliff to the river ahead. The word "hang" changed from dynamic to static, and Visha wrote about the waterfall in the distance.

The third sentence "Flying down three thousands of feet" is a detailed description of the waterfall at close range. "Flying Flow" shows that waterfalls come out in the air and spew out. "Straight down" not only describes the steepness of the rock wall, but also describes the rapidity of the water flow. "Three thousands of feet" is an exaggeration, describing the towering mountains.

The last sentence "It is suspected that the Milky Way has fallen for nine days" makes people suspect that the Milky Way has poured down from nine days. A "doubt" is ethereal and lively. If it is true, it makes people daydream, which adds to the magical color of the waterfall. This poem is very successful in metaphor, exaggeration and imagination, with unique conception, vivid language and bright washing.
