The old friend said goodbye to me at the Yellow Crane Tower in the Western Heaven and went to Yangzhou in the misty rain and flowers in March. The sail shadow of the lonely boat drifted away and disappeared at the end of the blue sky, only to see the Yangtze River flowing to the horizon.
Goodbye Meng Haoran wrote the background of Yellow Crane Tower in Yangzhou in the 13th year of Emperor Xuanzong of Tang Dynasty (AD 725). Li Bai sailed down the Yangtze River from Sichuan and visited many places along the way. In Xiangyang (now Xiangfan, Hubei), he heard that Meng Haoran, a former poet, lived in seclusion in Lumen Mountain in the southeast of the city and went to visit him specially. Meng Haoran read Li Bai's poems and praised them greatly. They soon became close friends. Meng Haoran warmly hosted Li Bai and stayed with him for more than 10 days.
In the spring of 730 AD, Li Bai learned that Meng Haoran was going to Guangling (now Yangzhou, Jiangsu), so he sent a letter to meet Meng Haoran in Jiangxia (now Wuchang, Wuhan). On this day, they met at the Yellow Crane Tower in Jiangxia, had a good talk and expressed their opinions. A few days later, Meng Haoran took a boat to the east, and Li Bai personally sent it to the river. When the ship left, Li Bai stood on the riverbank, watching the lonely sail drifting away, and his feelings of melancholy came to life, so he waved the song "Yellow Crane Tower, Don't be Meng Haoran on the way to Yangzhou". The first sentence points out that the farewell place is the Yellow Crane Tower, and the second sentence points out that the farewell time is in the spring of March, which also implies that this beautiful fireworks will accompany friends all the way to Yangzhou. Yangzhou was a prosperous city at that time. It must be full of flowers and spring. The last two sentences convey feelings, and the poet entrusts the feeling of parting between the blue sky and the river. Although his writing is exhausted, it is memorable and can be called a farewell masterpiece.
