Climbing a building originates from the ancient people’s habit of climbing high. For example, Confucius “climbed Dongshan to see a small Lu, and climbed to Mount Tai to see a small world.” Climbing high can allow the subject to see thousands of miles away, and then realize the connection of thoughts for thousands of years. Later, climbing was closely related to literary creation. This is the reason why the ancients said, "When you climb high, you must write poetry." Later, climbing evolved into climbing stairs. After a long period of cultural accumulation, climbing stairs has become a life complex of ancient literati. People can use climbing stairs to expand their limited visual space to unlimited space and express their feelings while taking in all things. In Tang poetry and Song lyrics, the image of building appears frequently, especially in Song poetry. According to incomplete statistics, there are at least 2,800 occurrences. Below, we will summarize the poet's emotions embodied in the image of climbing a building based on Tang poetry and Song lyrics.
