The Waterfall in Mount Lu Viewed from Afar
Li Bai
The sunlit Censer Peak exhales incense-like cloud;
Like an upended stream the cataract sounds loud.
Its torrent dashes down three thousand feet from high,
As if the Silver River fell from the blue sky.
This quatrain describes the beauty of the waterfall in Mount Lu with the Censer Peak above it. The poet compares it to the Silver River, Chinese name for the Milky Way.
《望庐山瀑布二首》是唐代大诗人李白创作的两首诗，一为五言古诗，一为七言绝句。这两首诗，紧扣题目中的“望”字，都以庐山的香炉峰入笔描写庐山瀑布之景，都用“挂”字突出瀑布如珠帘垂空，以高度夸张的艺术手法，把瀑布勾画得传神入化，然后细致地描写瀑布的具体景象，将飞流直泻的瀑布描写得雄伟奇丽，气象万千，宛如一幅生动的山水画。其中第二首七绝历来广为传诵。其前两句描绘了庐山瀑布的奇伟景象，既有朦胧美，又有雄壮美；后两句用夸张的比喻和浪漫的想象，进一步描绘瀑布的形象和气势，可谓字字珠玑。
Two Poems of Looking at Mount Lushan Waterfall” are two poems written by Li Bai, a great poet of the Tang Dynasty, one is a five-word poem and the other is a seven-word stanza. These two poems, closely followed by the word “look” in the title, both to Mount Lushan’s fragrant furnace peak to describe the scene of Mount Lushan waterfall, both using the word “hanging” to highlight the waterfall like a curtain of pearls hanging in the air, to highly exaggerate the artistic approach, the waterfall sketched into the senses, and then detailed description of the waterfall The specific scenes of the waterfall, the waterfall will be described as majestic, beautiful, meteorological, like a vivid landscape painting. The second of these seven stanzas has been widely recited. The first two lines depict the wondrous scene of the waterfall in Mount Lu, both hazy beauty and majestic beauty; the second two lines use exaggerated metaphors and romantic imagination to further depict the image and momentum of the waterfall, which can be described as a word of pearl.
