Origin: The Yellow Crane Tower was written by Cui Hao, a poet in the Tang Dynasty.
The place where the Yellow Crane carried saints to heaven a long time ago is now only the Yellow Crane Tower. 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, and the twilight was getting thicker. The river is shrouded in mist, which brings people deep melancholy.
The immortal of the past has flown away with the Yellow Crane, leaving only an empty Yellow Crane Tower here. The yellow crane never came back. For thousands of years, only Hanyang trees can be clearly seen in the long white clouds and sunshine, and Nautilus Island is covered with a piece of green grass. It is getting late. Looking into the distance, where is my hometown? In front of me, I saw a mist hanging over the river, which brought people deep sorrow.
This poem describes the beautiful scenery overlooking the Yellow Crane Tower and is a masterpiece of nostalgia. The first section of this poem skillfully uses allusions to lead immortals to the Yellow Crane Tower by crane. Zhuan Xu closely followed the first couplet, saying that the Yellow Crane Tower has gone through thousands of years since the immortal left; With a poetic turn, the necklace entered the scene description, describing the scenery seen in the Yellow Crane Tower on a sunny day.
At the end of the couplet, I write about the feeling of returning home at sunset on the bank of Yanbo River, which makes the poem return to the invisible state at the beginning. Although the whole poem is not harmonious, its syllables are loud and clear. Scenes blend and artistic conception is profound.
