This poem is a five-character quatrain by Li Bai, a famous poet in the Tang Dynasty. I vaguely remember learning it from a primary school textbook. The language of the whole poem is relatively simple and natural, so it is easier to understand. In the first two sentences, the dangerous building is a hundred feet high, and you can pick the stars with your hands. The dangerous building means tall building, but the height of the building mentioned here also means being on the top of the mountain. If it is on the top of the mountain, the building will appear to be taller. This hundred feet is an imaginary number. In poetry, such specific quantifiers generally refer to imaginary numbers.
The last two sentences describe the poet's mental state. He dare not speak loudly for fear of frightening the heavens. Fear means to be afraid, and jing means to startle or disturb. The general idea of ??the whole poem is that I was standing on the high building of the temple on the top of the mountain. I saw that the building was so high, it seemed to be more than a hundred feet. It feels like if I stretch out my hand, I can pick the stars in the sky. I had an illusion that I didn't dare to speak loudly for fear of disturbing the immortals in the sky.
This poem does not feel difficult to read, but it has still been passed down through the ages. This style is a bit like Li Bai's "Silent Night Thoughts". Although the language is simple, it is very vivid and the images are lifelike. Each word seems ordinary, but together they are a masterpiece. The poet is very imaginative, blending the late night gazing alone with the rendering of the mountains, bringing people into the bright starry sky and falling into the boundless imagination.
To us today, catching stars and shocking people seem to be very childlike ideas. But it also embodies a kind of romantic sentiment, which makes people feel immersed in the scene and has a sense of returning to basics. From it we can also experience the poet's uninhibited, frank and lovely nature. Compared with many poems, which like to associate heights with coldness and frustration, such as giving people a feeling of being overwhelmed by the cold at high places, Li Bai's poem not only does not have such desolation, but instead makes people feel that the starry sky is vast, the heaven and earth are vast, and wandering in it You can enjoy all kinds of fun, and your thoughts are also very romantic and lovely. It makes people smile knowingly when reading it, and it is fascinating.
