The fairy of the past has flown away by the yellow crane, leaving only an empty Yellow Crane Tower.
The yellow crane never revisited earth, there have been no long white clouds for thousands of years.
Every tree in Hanyang has become clear due to sunlight, and Nautilus Island is covered with sweet grass.
But I looked home, and the twilight was getting thicker. The river is shrouded in mist, which brings people deep melancholy.
Vernacular translation
The immortal of the past has flown by the Yellow Crane, leaving only the empty Yellow Crane Tower here.
The yellow crane never came back here. For thousands of years, only white clouds have been fluttering.
The trees in Qingchuan Pavilion in Hanyang are clearly visible, as is Parrot Island with lush vegetation.
I don't know where my hometown is at dusk Seeing the foggy waves on the river is even more worrying!
Extended data:
The Yellow Crane Tower is a seven-character poem written by Cui Hao, a poet in the Tang Dynasty. This poem describes the beautiful scenery overlooking the Yellow Crane Tower and is a masterpiece of nostalgia.
The first section of this poem skillfully uses allusions to lead immortals to the Yellow Crane Tower by crane. Zhuan Xu closely followed the first couplet, saying that the Yellow Crane Tower has gone through thousands of years since the immortal left; With the poetic turn of the neckline, I entered the description of the scenery and wrote down what I saw in the Yellow Crane Tower on a sunny day. At the end of the couplet, I write about the feeling of returning home at sunset on the bank of Yanbo River, which makes the poem return to the invisible state at the beginning. Although the whole poem is not harmonious, the syllables are clear and not awkward. Scenes blend and artistic conception is profound.
The specific creation time of this poem cannot be verified. The Yellow Crane Tower is named after its Yellow Crane Mountain (also known as Snake Mountain) in Wuchang. It is said that the ancient fairy Zi An came here on a yellow crane (see Qi Xie). It is also said that Feiyi rides a crane here (see Taiping Universe), and this poem was written in the origin of the building name. The poet boarded the Yellow Crane Tower, saw the scenery in front of him and wrote this poem.
In the Yuan Dynasty, the new biography of talented people in Tang Dynasty recorded that Li Bai once wrote poems on the Yellow Crane Tower. When he saw Cui Hao's works, he closed his hand and said, "The scenery in front of him can't be seen. Cui Hao wrote a poem on it." Legend or attachment of later generations may not be true. But Li Bai did write poems twice to imitate this poetic style. The first four sentences of his poem Nautilus Island say: "The parrot crossed the Wujiang River eastward, and its name spread to the upper reaches of the river. The parrot flies to Longshan in the west, and the tree of Zhou Fang is He Qingqing. "
Just like Cui Shi. There is also a poem "On the Phoenix Terrace in Nanjing", which is obviously copied. Because of this, many poets have a reputation of oral communication. For example, Yan Yu's Canglang Poetry says, "Cui Hao's Yellow Crane Tower should be the first of seven-character poems in the Tang Dynasty." Gal, Cui Hao's "Yellow Crane Tower" is even more famous.
The reason why the Yellow Crane Tower has become a masterpiece through the ages lies mainly in the aesthetic implication of the poem itself.
Yan Yu's Canglang Poem in Southern Song Dynasty: Cui Hao's Yellow Crane Tower should be the first of seven-character poems in Tang Dynasty.
Welcome to the Ear: The first four sentences of this poem are not even, with great momentum. After seeing it, Li Bai dared not talk about the building again, but went to Nanjing to board the Phoenix Terrace.
Fiona Fang commented on Ying Kui's rhythm and essence: Feng Shu: Why is there a disease, that is, metrical poetry, which is not even, let alone dual? Feng Ban: That's strange. The first half is thousands of miles away. If you start four sentences, you will be at a loss. Ji Yun: If you get them occasionally, you will have a unique tune. However, there must be neither one nor two.
Copy it again and it will become a pattern. Xu Yinfang: This article is a variation of metrical poetry. The first half is ancient poetry, and the ancient pen is rhythmic poetry. Anonymous (B): The first six sentences are full of excitement, and the second sentence contains infinite meaning, which is the first swan song in the future. Zhao Xi: This poem is full of difficulties, and its beauty lies in the so-called "God comes, gas comes, and love comes".
Kun's 300 Tang Poems, Yun Cun: The ancients did good deeds. When Li Bai boarded the Yellow Crane Tower, he said, "There is a scene in front of him, but Cui Hao is writing poems on it." When he arrived in Jinling, he wrote Phoenix Terrace to draft it. Today, two poems are real opponents of chess. Liu said: Hatred is overwhelming carelessness, so it is better than ingenuity.
Gao Mingkun's Pronunciation of Tang Poems: The sound of Qi is a must in a thousand years.
Ming Langying's Seven Drafts: The ancients did not care about works, such as "Nautilus Island" versus "Hanyang Tree" and "Bailuzhou" versus "Blue Sky", which were detached from things and not bound by laws, and were prosperous and meaningful.
