Look at Lushan Waterfall
Tang dynasty-Li Bai
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.
translate
The censer peak gives birth to a purple mist under the 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.
To annotate ...
1. censer: refers to censer peak. Purple smoke: refers to sunlight passing through clouds and looking like purple smoke clouds from a distance. Meng Haoran's "Li Peng Lake Looking at Lushan Mountain": "At the beginning of the incense burner, the waterfall sprayed Chen Hong." "Rizhao" two sentences: one sentence is "Lushan Mountain is connected with the stars, and Rizhao incense burner produces purple smoke".
2. From a distance. Hang up: hang up. Maekawa: A work called Changchuan. Chuan: River, here refers to waterfall.
3. straight: straight. Three thousands of feet: Describe the mountain height. This is an exaggeration, not a real reference.
4. Doubt: Doubt. Galaxies: The ancients referred to banded clusters of galaxies. Nine days: one day is "half a day". The ancients thought that there were nine heavies in the sky, and nine days was the highest level and the highest place in the sky. This sentence is extreme, and the waterfall falls.
