After a long journey of 12 years, where did you come from?

"It's been twelve years, and I'm in a hurry." From Yellow Crane Tower (Tang Dynasty) "In the past, the Yellow Crane carried saints to heaven, but now only the Yellow Crane Tower is left. 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, the twilight was getting thicker, and the river waves were filled with sad mist. "

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!

Overall appreciation

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.
