“Staying at the Pavilion of Yunmen Temple” is a five-character regulated verse written by Tang Dynasty writer Sun Ti when he stayed overnight at Yunmen Temple. This poem describes the poet’s feelings of staying overnight at Yunmen Temple in a romantic style. The first couplet outlines a distant view of Yunmen Temple, points out the location of Yunmen Temple, and describes its environment and atmosphere; the second couplet describes the scene that the poet looked out the window after arriving at the place to stay; the two sentences of the third couplet, closely following “hanging lights” and “rolling up curtains”, describe what he saw when he looked around in bed; the last couplet describes the scene after dreaming. The whole poem has a rigorous structure. From a time perspective, it describes going to the temple, entering the pavilion, sleeping, and dreaming in sequence; from a spatial perspective, it first describes the panoramic view from a distance, then the exterior scene from inside the pavilion, and finally what is seen inside the pavilion, from the real scene to the virtual scene, fully setting off the antiquity of the temple, and the structure is quite ingenious.
《宿云门寺阁》是唐代文学家孙逖夜宿在云门寺时创作的一首五律。此诗以浪漫的笔调写出诗人夜宿云门寺的感受。首联勾勒出云门寺的一幅远景，点出云门寺的所在，并写出其环境氛围；颔联写诗人到达宿处后凭窗远眺的景象；颈联两句，紧承“悬灯”和“卷幔”，写卧床环顾时所见；尾联写入梦后的情景。全诗章法严谨，从时间上看，依次叙述赴寺、入阁、睡下、入梦；从空间上看，先从远处写全景，再从阁内写外景，最后写阁内所见，由实境写到虚境，全力衬托寺院的高古，结构上颇见匠心。
《宿云门寺阁》 孙逖
香阁东山下，烟花象外幽。
悬灯千嶂夕，卷幔五湖秋。
画壁馀鸿雁，纱窗宿斗牛。
更疑天路近，梦与白云游。
Stay Overnight at Yunmen Temple (1)
The temple stands on the slope of the Eastern Hill (2);
As fair as fairyland are the views all around.
The thousand peaks appear dark when seen by lamplight;
Curtains rolled up, autumn cool (3) comes in without sound.
The pictures of swan-geese remain in the frescoes;
At night outside the window the dippers are found (4).
The heavenly way above seems quite near at hand—
The poet dreams that with the white clouds he’ll be skybound.
(1) The temple is built on the slope of Yunmen Hill.
(2) The Eastern Hill is another name of the hill where the temple is situated.
(3) The autumn cool comes from the five lakes into the guest room in the temple where the poet stays.
(4) The line implies that the temple is located rather high on the hill.
