Poems written by the Yellow Crane Tower on the way to see Meng Haoran off to Yangzhou.

Yellow Crane Tower —— Meng Haoran's farewell on his way to Yangzhou

Lipper

Old friends frequently waved to me, bid farewell to the Yellow Crane Tower, and traveled to Yangzhou in this beautiful spring filled with catkins and flowers.

Sailing alone in the blue sky, I can see the Yangtze River flowing in the sky.

Interpretation of poetry

The old friend said goodbye to me at the West Yellow Crane Tower and went to Yangzhou in the misty and flowery spring of March. The sail shadow of the lonely boat drifted away and disappeared at the end of the blue sky, only to see the Yangtze River flowing to the horizon.

Appreciation of poetry and prose

Li Bai's contact with Meng Haoran was just after he left Sichuan. At that time, he was young and happy, and the world in his eyes was almost as beautiful as gold. Meng Haoran, more than ten years older than Li Bai, has become famous for his poems. The poet sent his friend on a long trip, and he was full of envy for his old friend going to the bustling Yangzhou. His poems were filled with cheerful emotions. The poet's overlook on the river shows the deep friendship between them. The whole poem is natural and beautiful, with an open realm and vivid image.
