From "Yellow Crane Tower Farewell to Meng Haoran at Guangling", it is one of the famous poems by the great poet Li Bai of the Tang Dynasty. This is a farewell poem that combines feelings of separation and scenery. The original sentence is "Fireworks descend on Yangzhou in March."
"Fireworks descend on Yangzhou in March", adding the word "fireworks" to "March" makes the poetic atmosphere in the farewell environment particularly rich. Fireworks refer to misty smoke and blooming flowers. The feeling given to the readers is by no means a piece of land or a flower, but a vast expanse of spring mist that cannot be seen through. March is the time for fireworks, and the prosperous lower reaches of the Yangtze River during the Kaiyuan era were also the land of fireworks. "Fireworks in March" not only reproduces the charming scenery of the bustling place in late spring, but also reveals the atmosphere of the times.
The original text is as follows:
The old friend left the Yellow Crane Tower in the west, and the fireworks descended from Yangzhou in March.
The shadow of the lone sail in the distance is gone in the blue sky, and only the Yangtze River can be seen flowing in the sky.
The translation is as follows:
My friend waved goodbye to me at the Yellow Crane Tower. He was going to Yangzhou in the sunny March.
His sail shadow gradually disappeared into the blue sky, and only the billowing Yangtze River was seen rushing across the horizon.

Extended information:
"Send Meng Haoran to Guangling at the Yellow Crane Tower" is a work written by Li Bai during his grand tour to Shu. Li Bai was a poet who loved nature and made friends. He "wanted to travel to famous mountains all his life" and spent his life roaming and wandering. He traveled all over the Central Plains and left behind many works praising the beauty of nature and praising friendship. In the fifteenth year of the Kaiyuan reign of Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty, Li Bai returned from his eastward journey and arrived in Anlu, Hubei Province. He was twenty-seven years old.
He lived in Anlu for ten years, but most of the time he met friends with poetry and wine and traveled abroad. In his own words, he "lost himself in Anlu for ten years." It was while living in Anlu that Li Bai met Meng Haoran, who was twelve years older than him. Meng Haoran admired Li Bai very much, and the two soon became close friends. In March of the 18th year of Kaiyuan, Li Bai learned that Meng Haoran was going to Guangling (now Yangzhou, Jiangsu), so he asked someone to take the letter and asked to meet Meng Haoran in Jiangxia (now Wuchang District, Wuhan City).
A few days later, Meng Haoran sailed eastward, and Li Bai personally sent him to the riverside. When bidding farewell, I wrote this song "Farewell to Meng Haoran at the Yellow Crane Tower in Guangling".
