Old friends frequently waved to me, bid farewell to the Yellow Crane Tower, and traveled to Yangzhou in this beautiful spring filled with catkins and flowers.
My friend's sail shadow faded away and disappeared at the end of the blue sky, only seeing the first line of the Yangtze River and heading for the distant horizon.
Yellow crane tower is
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 becomes clear in the water [①], and Parrot Island is a nest of herbs [②].
But I looked home, and the twilight was getting thicker. The river is shrouded in mist, which brings people deep melancholy.
Cui Hao's early poems mostly described boudoir feelings and reflected women's life. Later, I went to the frontier fortress, and the frontier fortress poems I wrote were generous and heroic, and my poetic style became bold and unrestrained. But Cui Hao's most famous poem is the Yellow Crane Tower. According to legend, this poem touched the great poet Li Bai. In the Song Dynasty, the Chronicle of Tang Poetry in Jigong made a bet on the poem Yellow Crane Tower, saying, "The legend in the world is too white:' There is no road in front of you, and Cui Hao inscribed a poem on it.' He wrote the poem Phoenix Terrace to compare the ending. Yuan Fang's Biography of Tang Caizi also recorded Li's Yellow Crane Tower, because he saw the poem, which is "Doing nothing, gathering hands to be philosophers". Of course, this legend is not necessarily true. Ji Yougong expressed his doubts behind the note. However, Li Bai's poem "On the Phoenix Terrace in Nanjing" is indeed similar to Cui Zuo in writing. As for his poem "Nautilus Island": "Parrots have been to Wujiang River, and Jiangshangzhou passed on the name of parrots. Parrot flies west to Longshan, he is green, the tree of Zhou Fang! Spring breeze and warm clouds bring the fragrance of orchids, and peach blossoms fall into the river to form layers of brocade waves. At this time, the relocation of guests is extremely eye-catching. Who belongs to Cheung Chau alone? " Then not only the first four sentences are similar to Cui Shi's poems in format, but also the style of the whole poem is forced to be very simple. The first volume of Ying Lu Kui Sui, written by Fang Hui in Song and Yuan Dynasties, pointed out: "Taibai's poem is a poem with great influence. It was processed in May and June, and the ending sentence contains a sigh, so it is still not very restrained." Therefore, this poem has always been highly respected. Yan Yu's Cang Lang Shi Hua in the Southern Song Dynasty holds that "Cui Hao's Yellow Crane Tower should be the first of seven-character poems in the Tang Dynasty." It was not until Sun Zhu's influential Three Poems of Tang Dynasty in Qing Dynasty that Cui Hao's Yellow Crane Tower was placed in the first poem of "Seven-character Rhyme".
Of course, The Yellow Crane Tower is a masterpiece mainly because of the aesthetic implication of the poem itself.
First, the artistic beauty of combining image with reality.
The former site of the Yellow Crane Tower is in Huanggu Jitou, HuangHeshan (Snake Mountain), Wuchang. According to legend, it was built in the Wu period of the Three Kingdoms, and it was destroyed and repaired repeatedly throughout the dynasties. The balconies, pillow mountains and rivers in the past were magnificent and ethereal, and there were some doubts about the "Fairy Palace". According to legend, the immortal rode the yellow crane here (A Record of Qi Xie), and rode the yellow crane here every time he escaped and ascended the immortal (A Record of the Taiping Universe). The poet climbs the building and looks into the distance, imagining things. The first four sentences of the poem begin with legends, which lead to inner feelings. The scenery contains feelings and images. Immortals ride on cranes and never return. Immortals go to empty buildings, leaving only blue sky and white clouds, which are long for thousands of years. It not only contains the feeling of the passing of time and the vastness of the world, but also vaguely reveals the vastness and heroism of the Yellow Crane Tower, and the beautiful legend of the fairy crossing the crane adds magical and charming colors to the Yellow Crane Tower, which makes people daydream far and wide.
The Yellow Crane Tower is named after its Yellow Crane Mountain. The so-called "immortal riding crane" is a myth attached to the name. However, the poet skillfully uses these legends to grow out of the void, thus making this poem attractive in art. Then I wrote a real scene, and the scenery on the other side of the river is beautiful: the sunny river, countless green trees in Hanyang, and the grass on Nautilus Island is very lush. Parrot Island in Hanyang was originally a sandbar in the Yangtze River southwest of Wuhan. Legend has it that it was named after Mi Fei wrote "Parrot Fu" here at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, and it was gradually washed away by the river. Today's Nautilus Island is no longer the hometown before Song Dynasty. The scenery in front of us is bright and open, full of vitality, which makes people feel relaxed and happy, and they linger, even until the sunset on the riverside and the dusk strikes. Cui Hao roamed the south. After a long absence from home, I feel homesick in the face of the heavy twilight and the boundless kitchen smoke: "But I look home, and the dusk is getting dark? There is a sad mist on the river waves. " The poet goes with the flow, which not only shows the author's rich and complicated inner feelings, but also shows the colorful natural scenery, changing feelings and changing scenery of the Yellow Crane Tower, resulting in a beautiful and moving artistic conception. As A Qing poet Shen Deqian commented on this poem in the thirteenth volume of "Collection of Tang Poems": "The meaning is like the first, and the words are written in a vertical pen, so they are good at making great achievements through the ages."
The second is the magnificent weather and colorful painting beauty.
Painting in poetry has always been regarded as an artistic standard of landscape poetry, and the Yellow Crane Tower has reached this wonderful realm. In The Legend of the Fairy Riding a Crane, the first couplet depicts a close-up view of the Yellow Crane Tower, which means that the building is surrounded by mountains and waters and the situation is magnificent. In the lyric poem lamenting that "Yellow Crane will never come to earth again", Zhuan Xu described the prospect of Yellow Crane Tower, showing the spectacular sight of towering buildings and white clouds. The beautiful scenery of the neckline directly outlines the bright sunshine on the river outside the Yellow Crane Tower. The tail couplet echoes around the beam, whispering tactfully, indirectly showing the hazy evening scene on the lower reaches of the Yellow Crane Tower. On the whole picture shown in the poem, the close view, distant view, sun view and night view of the Yellow Crane Tower appear alternately, with wonderful changes and magnificent weather. Against each other are the immortal yellow crane, the famous building resort, the blue sky and white clouds, the Qingchuan sandbar, the green trees and grass, and the sunset river, which are vivid and colorful. The whole poem is full of artistic meaning and aesthetic feeling.
Third, the musical beauty with natural timbre and clear syllables.
