The two waterfalls in Lushan Mountain are two poems by Li Bai, a great poet in Tang Dynasty. One is an ancient poem with five words, and the other is a quatrain with seven words.
Excerpts are 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.
The translation is as follows:
The sun shines on the incense burner peak, producing purple smoke. Seen from a distance, the waterfall hangs in front of the mountain like a long river.
As if three thousands of feet waters were running down, did the Milky Way descend from the cliff for nine days?

Creation background
These two poems are generally believed to have been written by Li Bai when he visited Lushan Mountain for the first time on his way to Jinling in the 13th year of Emperor Xuanzong of Tang Dynasty (725). Professor Wu Xiaoru believes that these two poems of Li Bai are different in genre and partly repetitive in content, which are not temporary works. According to Ren Hua's poem "Miscellaneous Words for Li Bai" in Selected Poems of Li Bai, Mr. Zhan Ai thinks that the first five ancient poems were written by Li Bai before he entered Chang 'an in Kaiyuan years.
works appreciation
Due to the lack of space, the poet raised the scenery to a higher level with exaggerated metaphors, reaching the extreme of writing waterfalls, which is extremely exaggerated, but fresh and natural, simple and vivid, and at the same time has the momentum of turbulence, flying and flowing, jumping and swaying, and the momentum and characteristics of singing.
According to a constant habit in my life, Li Bai showed the aura of the poet's name in the beautiful scenery of Lushan Mountain. He is imaginative, imaginative, magnificent, passionate, natural and fresh as a river and clear as a cloud. The aesthetic characteristics of his poems are the beauty of nature, frankness and freedom. These two poems have such aesthetic characteristics.
