On a pure morning, near the ancient temple, the early sunshine points to the treetops.

A secluded place with bamboo paths, branches and flowers, to a Buddhist retreat.

Here, birds live in the mountain light, and people's hearts feel quiet in the pond.

All is silent here, but the bell is ringing.

Li Bai (Tang): I had a good time at Tianzhu Temple with my nephew in Hangzhou.

Ling Pengqiu hangs a banquet, and Zhang Lou watches Tao Xie. Three mountains move and prosper, and five horses roam together.

Tianzhu sen is in sight, and the autumn wind is rustling. Looking at the clouds and measuring changes, the water is poor and quiet.

The mountains are separated by the open sea, and Xuan wrote that he would return to the stream. Poetic into a proud moon in Ao Yun, full of interest in five continents.

Crossing the Temple —— Wang Wei (Tang)

I don't know where Ji Xiang Temple is, so I climbed several miles into the clouds and peaks.

Ancient trees are towering, but there are no pedestrian paths, and there are bells in the mountains in the temple.

The spring water in the mountains hits the dangerous rocks, and the sun in the pine forest is cold.

In the evening, come to the empty pool and meditate quietly to suppress the dragon.

Gu Kuang (Tang), a mountain temple near Lake Su.

Mountain peaks flow in the rain, and Panasonic is covered with white cranes.

The fragrance penetrates the window cage cypress, and the clouds make Fan Yu wet.

The monk of the futon winded his seat, and the fishing song on the reed bank fell into the river.

Who realizes that this life is the same as silence, the old Zen is wise and kind.

As can be seen from the poems handed down from generation to generation, there are not many poems describing the mountain scenery of temples, and the author only knows a few. For many non-professional scholars, the most familiar poem is probably the first poem, especially the couplet "My road winds through sheltered valleys, branches and flowers to a Buddhist retreat".

Someone once commented that the poem "Zen after breaking the mountain temple" completed the artistic conception of Tang poetry. There are thousands of Tang poems, but one word is missing. As soon as this poem came out, it was all gone.
