A Night Stay at a Mountain Temple
A hundred feet the temple towers;
I can reach out for the stars in the sky.
But I dare not speak in a voice loud,
For fear of scaring dwellers on high.

Summary
Li Bai started writing poetry from a young age. He wrote many poems inspired by what he read, and what he saw when he was travelling, which helped him gain a reputation as a romantic poet. Growing up during the most glorious period of the Tang Dynasty also impacted Li Bai’s poems greatly. Most of his poetry is of the romantic style, featuring rich imagination, free expression of strong feelings and wide use of artistic techniques like exaggeration and metaphor. Li’s works influenced generations of poets. Today they continue to inspire new generations of poets in China and abroad and are still enjoyed by many readers.
Write a summary of the essay on Li Bai’s life and poetry.
Analyse the following poem by Li Bai to find out more about his romantic style.
This poem displays Li Bai's well-known romantic style. The first line, "Leaving at dawn the White Emperor crowned with cloud", makes me see an image of Li Bai leaving a mountaintop town in his boat on a beautiful morning. The second line, "I've sailed a thousand miles through canyons in a day" and the fourth line "My skiff has left ten thousand mountains far away", suggest that the poet moved away from White Emperor Town and in the direction of the canyons and that he covered many miles a day. In these lines, Li's use of exaggeration reflects his romantic style clearly. The third line uses vivid imagery that assists the reader to understand the sound Li Bai heard from the countless monkeys found along the Yangtze River: "With monkeys' sad adieus the riverbanks are loud". Furthermore, along with the fourth line, it gives me the sense of how fast his boat was moving down the river as well as how happy and excited Li Bai felt. The free expression of strong feelings is really impressive. This poem also shows where he was travelling and how his travel greatly inspired his poetry.
Thank you !
