In many anthologies of poems in the Tang Dynasty, the seven-rhythm part "Yellow Crane Tower" opens or ends the volume because this poem was called "the first of the seven rhymes of the Tang Dynasty" by later generations, which is related to an allusion of Li Bai.
Among the many poets of the Tang Dynasty, Li Bai, a superstar of poetry in the Tang Dynasty and known as the "Immortal of Poetry", was the first to have an indissoluble bond with the Jianghan area.
