1. "Yellow Crane Tower" by Cui Hao of the Tang Dynasty
People in the past have gone on the Yellow Crane, and the Yellow Crane Tower is empty here. Once the Yellow Crane is gone, it will never return, and the white clouds will remain empty for thousands of years. .
Qingchuan is surrounded by Hanyang trees and luxuriant grasses in Parrot Island. Where is the hometown gate at sunset? The misty waves on the river make people sad.
