The first couplet: the poet came here with a beautiful vision for the Yellow Crane Tower, but the immortal drove the crane without a trace, and the crane went to the empty building. The gap between the beautiful vision and the ordinary river tower has paved a layer of lost background color in the poet's heart, paving the way for the expression of homesickness complex.
Zhuan Xu: The natural scene where the river meets the sky is more and more magnificent because of the white clouds. Influenced by this scene, the poet's mood gradually became cheerful, and the feelings in his chest also inserted wings. The illusion of the world is also paving the way for the infinite sadness that it is difficult to return to the countryside.
Necklace: "Every tree in Hanyang becomes clear in the water, and Nautilus Island is a nest of herbs." With a stroke of the pen, the legendary immortal, Yellow Crane and Yellow Crane Tower all became what the poet saw before his eyes, and the illusory legend became what he saw before his eyes. The clear sky in Wan Li, the trees in Hanyang City separated by water and the lush grass on Nautilus Island paint a picture of ethereal distance, which sets the stage for the poet's homesickness.
Tail couplet: The poem ends with a "worry", which accurately expresses the poet's mood of boarding the Yellow Crane Tower at dusk, and at the same time takes care of the metaphor at the beginning, and expresses the lingering homesickness with ups and downs, reaching the implication, the inner feelings and the external echoes.
