Extended data:
Hanshan Temple, located in the west of Qiao Feng, was founded in the Liang Dynasty. Hanshan, a poet and monk in the early Tang Dynasty, once lived here, hence the name. The poetic beauty of Qiao Feng, together with this ancient temple, has brought the color of history and culture, making it more rich and moving. Therefore, the "midnight bell" of Hanshan Temple seems to echo the echo of history, permeated with religious feelings, giving people a sense of simplicity and solemnity.
It seems that the poet pointed out the source of the bell with a poem. With the stroke of midnight in Hanshan Temple, the charm of "a night-mooring near maple bridge" can be perfectly expressed. This poem no longer stays at the level of pure landscape painting on autumn nights in Qiao Feng, but creates a typical artistic conception of blending scenes.
Although the custom of midnight was recorded as early as in heather, it was Zhang Ji's creation to write it into poetry and become the eye of poetic artistic conception. At the same time or after Zhang Ji, although many poets described midnight, they did not reach Zhang Ji's level, let alone create a complete artistic conception.
