The whole story of Yellow Crane Tower starts, continues, turns and merges naturally and smoothly without any trace of chiseling. The following is the information related to the poetry of the ancient poem Yellow Crane Tower that I have compiled for you. Welcome to read!
Yellow Crane Tower
Author: Cui Hao
In the past, people had taken the Yellow Crane to go there, and the Yellow Crane Tower was vacant here.
The yellow crane will never return, and the white clouds will remain empty for thousands of years.
Qingchuan is full of Hanyang trees and luxuriant grasses on Parrot Island.
Where is Rimu Xiangguan? The smoke on the Yanbo River makes people sad.
Translation 1
The immortals of the past have flown away on the Yellow Crane, leaving only an empty Yellow Crane Tower. Once the Yellow Crane left, he never came back. For thousands of years, he only saw white clouds.
The trees of Hanyang are clearly visible under the sunlight, and there is a green grass covering the Parrot Island. It's getting late, looking into the distance, where is my hometown? All I could see in front of me was a mist covering the river, bringing me a deep sense of melancholy.
Translation 2
In the past, an immortal flew away on a yellow crane, and only the Yellow Crane Tower was left standing at the head of the river.
The Yellow Crane carried the immortal to flight and never came back. For thousands of years, the white clouds drifted leisurely in the wind.
Under the sunshine, the green trees of Hanyang Town are clearly visible, and the green and lush spring grass covers Parrot Island.
Where is my hometown when the sun sets in the west? The vast misty waves and rushing rivers add to the nostalgia.
Translation 3
The predecessors had already flown away on the Yellow Crane, and all that was left here was the empty Yellow Crane Tower. After the yellow crane flew away, it never returned. For thousands of years, only white clouds floated leisurely. On the clear Han River plain, there are patches of lush trees and dense grass, covering Parrot Island. The sky is getting dark, looking into the distance, where is my hometown? The mist and confusion on the river make people feel infinite sadness.
Poetic 1
Climbing the Yellow Crane Tower today reminds me of the legends of the past. As time goes by, the building is empty; the only thing that still looks like yesterday is the long white clouds. The world is so confusing, which makes people feel infinite emotions! The poet touches the scene and expresses his feelings. He can't stop it, and he completes it in one breath, and his energy flows through the rainbow.
I just expressed my feelings for the ancients, and saw the grass and green trees of Hanyang City and Gyoto Island, which aroused my nostalgia again. This is exactly what is released first and then closed, which completely complies with the requirements of "starting, continuing, turning, and combining" in the meter. The writing style is ups and downs, and the feeling of returning home after sunset on the Yanbo River in the last sentence returns to the vague state of the beginning, and the whole poem is completely clear. One body, the artistic conception is perfect.
Appreciation 1
This poem is a masterpiece of nostalgia for the past. The poet climbed to the Yellow Crane Tower, a historic site, and scanned the scenery in front of him. He became emotional at the scene, and the poem became a masterpiece, and he blurted it out and spread it thousands of miles away. It is both natural and majestic, and full of character. Although the poem has no rhythm, its syllables are clear and not difficult to pronounce. It was done effortlessly and in one go, and has become a treasure that has been admired by all ages. Legend has it that Li Bai climbed up to this building and was greatly impressed when he saw this poem. He said: "There is a view in front of me, but Cui Hao wrote a poem on it." Yan Canglang also said that the seven-character rhymed poems of the Tang Dynasty should be the first. This shows that poetry is precious and natural, even metrical poems are all like this. There are many poems about the Yellow Crane Tower in the past dynasties, but Cui Hao's poem with seven rhymes is said to be the best. Please see how he wrote: People in the past have gone by Yellow Crane, and the Yellow Crane Tower is vacant here. The yellow crane is gone and never returns, and the white clouds remain empty for thousands of years. Qingchuan is full of Hanyang trees, and the grass is luxuriant and Parrot Island is green. Where is Rimuxiangguan? The smoke on the Yanbo River makes people sad.
This poem is written with a broad artistic conception, grand spirit, picturesque scenery and sincere feelings. And it is simple and vivid, just like spoken language, which cannot but be breathtaking. This poem is not only Cui Hao's most famous and handed down work, but also laid the foundation for his lifelong poetry. It is not anyone who has come to such a conclusion, let alone me who insists on putting gold on people in Kaifeng. "Three Hundred Tang Poems" is an anthology of Tang poems by later generations, and Cui Hao's poem is listed as the first of the seven rhymed poems. This shows the importance attached to this poem. Xin Wenfang of the Yuan Dynasty recorded in "The Biography of Talented Scholars of the Tang Dynasty" that Li Bai ascended the Yellow Crane Tower and wanted to compose a poem. When he saw Cui Hao's work, he held his hands for it and said: "There is a view in front of me and I can't find it. Cui Hao wrote a poem on it." Some people say this. It may be said that it is due to the echo of later generations, but it may not be true. But I think it is by no means all false. I have two poems about the Yellow Crane Tower written by Li Bai: one is "Yellow Crane Tower Farewell to Meng Haoran in Guangling": "The old friend bids farewell to the Yellow Crane Tower in the west, and the fireworks are under the March. Yangzhou. The shadow of the solitary sail is gone in the blue sky. The other poem is "Listening to the Yellow Crane Tower with Shi Langzhong": "I am moving to Changsha, but I can't see Huang He's home in Chang'an." The jade flute is playing in the building, and the plum blossoms are falling in May in the river city." Although they are all related to the Yellow Crane Tower, they all have other reasons and are not completely descriptive of the scene. At the same time, the first four sentences of his "Parrot Island" "The parrot crossed the Wujiang River in the east, and the name of the parrot was spread on the island on the river. The parrot flew west to Longshan, and the trees in Fangzhou were so green" are very similar to the syntax of Cui's poem. The same is true for his poem "Ascending the Phoenix Terrace of Jinling", which has obvious traces of imitating the style of Cui's poems. Therefore, since the two sentences "There is a scene in front of me, but Cui Hao wrote a poem above" are not Li Bai's words, it is still acceptable for Li Bai to admit that Cui's poems are excellent. "Canglang Poetry" (Yan Yu) said: "Cui Hao's "Yellow Crane Tower" should be the first among the seven-character rhymed poems in the Tang Dynasty." Although there is controversy, for example, Hu Yinglin called Du Fu's "Denggao" the best among the seven-character rhymed poems in ancient and modern times, but It is indeed a pertinent statement that represents everyone’s opinions.
In this way, Cui Hao's "Yellow Crane Tower" will become even more famous.
With rich imagination, readers are introduced to ancient times, and then back to reality. All kinds of emotions and natural scenery are blended together. Who can not feel its sadness and desolation. This poem has always been highly praised by people and is listed as the first of the seven rhymes of the Tang Dynasty.
It is said that when Li Bai was in his prime, he traveled around and left poems everywhere. When he climbed up to the Yellow Crane Tower, he was inspired by the beautiful scenery upstairs and downstairs. When he was about to write a poem as a souvenir, he suddenly looked up and saw Cui Hao's poem upstairs.
Appreciation 2
In the Tang Dynasty, the Yellow Crane Tower, Yueyang Tower and Tengwang Pavilion were known as the three major scenic spots on the south bank of the Yangtze River. The Yellow Crane Tower was built in the second year of Wu Huangwu in the Three Kingdoms (223), and the Tengwang Pavilion was built in In the thirteenth year of Zhenguan (639) of the Tang Dynasty, the Yueyang Tower was built in the fourth year of Kaiyuan (716). According to Volume 5 of Lu You's "Enter Sichuan": "Yellow Crane Tower, it is said that Fei Yi flew here, and then suddenly came back by the Yellow Crane, so it was named the famous tower and the most beautiful scenery in the world." Tengwang Pavilion was built by Li Yuanying, the founder of Tang Dynasty. It was named King Teng, who once served as the governor of Hongzhou and built it during his tenure. Yueyang Tower was built on the basis of the old military parade platform when Zhang Shuo was relegated to Baling by Zhongshu Ling. In terms of origin, the Yellow Crane Tower is the oldest.
There are many works about the Yellow Crane Tower, but Cui Hao's "Yellow Crane Tower" is universally recognized as the masterpiece. Even the great poet Li Bai stopped writing because "Cui Hao wrote a poem on it". So, What is so good about Cui Hao's poem "Yellow Crane Tower"? This involves grasping the essential characteristics of the Yellow Crane Tower. Because in terms of the shape of the mountains and rivers, it is difficult to distinguish between the Yellow Crane Tower overlooking Jianghan, the Tengwang Pavilion with the Ganjiang River in front, and the Yueyang Tower with the Dongting below. . If you write ink from these aspects, even if you have a wonderful pen, it will only resemble its appearance at best. The brilliance of Cui Hao's poem "Yellow Crane Tower" is that it completely abandons the external features of the Yellow Crane Tower such as its location and shape, and instead focuses on the fundamental factor of its name. In terms of its name, the Yellow Crane Tower's association with magical legends is its charm, which is difficult to match with the Yueyang Tower and Tengwang Pavilion. The first two couplets of the poem describe what I saw and felt when I looked up at the vast sky under the Yellow Crane Tower. When the poet saw the Yellow Crane Tower for the first time, the most prominent impression in his endless reverie was the story of the ancients who ascended here. That "former man" was originally an ordinary person, but because he learned the Tao from immortals, he became an immortal and entered the fairyland. Later, he traveled to his old place by Yellow Crane. The Yellow Crane Tower should remember his immortal spirit. The Yellow Crane is naturally a Taoist crane. After flying across the sky in front of me that time, it still belongs to the human world. Facing the white clouds, the poet realizes the eternity of time in the universe and the shortness of life. Although a series of "Tianwen"-style emotions did not occur, readers have felt the ups and downs of the poet's heart and understood the poet's thoughts about the universe and the true meaning of life conveyed by images such as "yellow crane" and "white clouds". The good thing about the first four lines of the poem is that it was triggered by the Yellow Crane Tower and cannot be moved elsewhere. It is formed naturally, as if it comes out of the mouth, without any trace of chiseling. Telling the whole story can make people ponder endlessly. Although it does not describe the shape of the Yellow Crane Tower in detail, it successfully demonstrates its spiritual outlook.
The last four sentences of the poem are transformed. Angle, describing what he saw and felt when he climbed up to the Yellow Crane Tower and looked down at Jianghan. The poet was condescending, as if observing the world from the sky, and he felt a sense of transcendence. This emotion was also developed from two perspectives: space and time. , the sense of distance in the world should be insignificant. Under the clear sun, the scenery on the vast Jianghan Plain is vividly visible; the luxuriant grass of Parrot Island is even closer, but my hometown is far away and cannot be seen. The range of activities in a person's life is too limited. Compared with the immortals, there is a huge gap between the bird soaring among the basil and the roc with a wingspan of 90,000 miles. As for time, the life span of a person is measured in years, and it is accumulated over time. Months, accumulated months become years, and in the blink of an eye, a hundred years are passed. A person's life is over. Compared with Ming Ling who "takes five hundred years as spring and five hundred years as autumn", it is already pitifully short; compared with "Seven days in the sky, thousands of years in the world" are even different. In the coordinate system of the human world and this period of life, where am I at this time? On this day. At dusk, when the smoke rises on the river, the "I" on the Yellow Crane Tower can't be clearly understood. It can be seen that the poet's "sadness" has rich connotations, and it is not just about nostalgia. In the last four sentences, the description of the scene is more prominent. However, they are all random sights, and the author did not deliberately describe them; especially when these scenery words are integrated into the poet's deep emotions, their characteristics as scenery become more diluted, which infers that Li Bai's words "you can't understand the scenery before you", to a large extent.
Forefathers have praised this poem. Some people say that it is "flying like an elephant, and it is astonishing and far-reaching" (Wang Fu's words), and some people say that it "means like an elephant, and moves in a way that is beyond words." , write it vertically, and become good at the wonders of the ages" (Shen De's subtext), all focusing on the broad artistic conception of this poem and the elegance of the pen, which is the artistic charm of this poem.
