"Climbing the 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 the country gate at dusk? The misty waves on the river make people sad.
Notes:
1. Yellow Crane Tower: Its former site is in Wuchang County, Hubei Province. It was burned down by fire in the early years of the Republic of China. Legend has it that there was a man named Fei Wen in ancient times
< p>? Immortals, ride on cranes to ascend to immortality here. Some people say that people from the past have gone on white clouds.2. Long: long-lasting meaning.
3. Lili: clear and distinct appearance.
4. Parrot Island: In the southwest of Wuchang County, Hubei Province, according to the records of the Later Han Dynasty, when Emperor Huangzu of the Han Dynasty was serving as the prefect of Jiangxia, he stayed here.
When guests were having a banquet, someone offered a parrot. Therefore, it is called Parrot Island.
Rhyme translation:
The legendary immortal flew away on the Yellow Crane early,
Only the empty Yellow Crane Tower is left in this place.
The flying yellow crane will never return.
Only the long white clouds remain the same for thousands of years.
The green trees of Qingchuan Pavilion in Hanyang are still vivid in my mind,
The fragrant grass of Parrot Island grows densely,
I don’t know where it is at dusk. Is this my hometown?
Facing the misty waves of the river makes people sad!
