Li Bai in Tang Dynasty
The tall buildings of the temple on the mountain are really high, like a hundred feet. People upstairs are like a hand that can pick off the stars in the sky.
Standing here, I dare not speak loudly for fear of disturbing the gods in the sky.

The high-rise building of the temple on the mountain is really high, it seems to be 100 feet. People upstairs seem to be able to pick off the stars in the sky with one hand.
Standing here, I dare not speak loudly for fear of disturbing the gods in the sky.
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 boarded 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 first sentence depicts a steep, straight and towering temple building. The word "danger" is eye-catching and eye-catching. The ingenious combination with the word "high" in the same sentence accurately, vividly and vividly depicts the extraordinary momentum of the mountain temple standing on the top of the mountain and dominating the world.
The second sentence uses extremely exaggerated techniques to set off towering peaks and temples. Every word leads the reader's aesthetic sight to the splendid night sky of Xinghan. Instead of feeling "too cold at the top", it gives people a broad feeling. The beauty of starry night arouses people's yearning for towering "dangerous buildings".
In three or four sentences, "Dare" describes the author's psychological state in a dangerous building at night. From the poet's psychology of "dare" and "fear", readers can completely imagine the distance between "Mountain Temple" and "Heaven and Man", so the height of Mountain Temple is self-evident.
Poets use exaggerated artistic techniques to describe towering mountain temples, giving people rich associations. The buildings on the mountain seem to be 100 feet high, and the poet can pick up the stars in the sky with his hands when standing on the roof. I dare not speak loudly here, for fear of disturbing the gods in the sky.
