Yellow Crane Tower
Tang Dynasty: Cui Hao
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 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, it only saw long white clouds.
Hanyang trees are clearly visible in the sun, and Nautilus Island is covered with 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.

Creation background
While living in Anlu, Li Bai met Meng Haoran who was twelve years older than him, and they soon became good friends.
In March of the 18th year of Kaiyuan (730), Li Bai learned that Meng Haoran was going to Guangling (now Yangzhou, Jiangsu) and asked Meng Haoran to meet him in Jiangxia (now Wuchang District, Wuhan). A few days later, Meng Haoran took a boat to the east, and Li Bai personally sent it to the river.
When I was leaving, I wrote this song "Farewell to Meng Haoran on the way to Yangzhou by the Yellow Crane Tower".
