The Yellow River seems to run through the white clouds.

Why do soldiers lament that willows don't sprout?
Spring breeze can't blow beyond Yumen Pass at all.

The Yellow River flowing far away seems to be connected with white clouds; Yumenguan stands alone in the mountains and looks lonely and cold.
Why use Qiangdi to play sad willow songs and complain that spring is late? It turns out that the spring breeze around Yumenguan can't blow!
