The whole poem is as follows:
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.
Whole poem translation:
The immortal of the past has flown away with the Yellow Crane, leaving only the empty Yellow Crane Tower.
The yellow crane never came back. For thousands of years, people only saw white clouds floating in the sky.
The trees in Hanyang under the sunshine are clearly visible, and the green Nautilus Island is also clearly visible.
Twilight gradually spread. Where is my hometown? The misty waves on the river make people even more worried.
Appreciation of the whole poem:
The reason why the Yellow Crane Tower has become a masterpiece through the ages lies mainly in the aesthetic implication of the poem itself.
First, the artistic beauty of combining image with reality. Poetry begins with the origin of architectural naming, and then spreads through legends. What is the fairy crossing the crane? What is it now? If it is said to be "gone forever", there will be regrets that the years are gone and the ancients are gone; The fairy went to the empty building, leaving only the white clouds in the sky, which lasted for thousands of years and could show the boundless generosity of the world. The poet's strokes describe the feelings that people who boarded the Yellow Crane Tower at that time often felt, with boundless spirit and sincere feelings.
The second is the magnificent weather and colorful painting beauty. Painting in poetry has always been regarded as an artistic standard of landscape poetry, and the Yellow Crane Tower has reached this wonderful realm. In the legend of crane, the first couplet depicts the close-up of the Yellow Crane Tower, suggesting that the building is located in the mountains and faces the river. In the lyric poem lamenting that "Yellow Crane will never come to earth again", Zhuan Xu described the prospect of Yellow Crane Tower, showing the spectacular sight of towering buildings and white clouds. The beautiful scenery of the neckline directly outlines the bright sunshine on the river outside the Yellow Crane Tower. The tail couplet echoes around the beam, whispering tactfully, indirectly showing the hazy evening scene on the lower reaches of the Yellow Crane Tower. On the whole picture shown in the poem, the close view, distant view, sun view and night view of the Yellow Crane Tower appear alternately, with wonderful changes and magnificent weather. Against each other are the immortal yellow crane, the famous building resort, the blue sky and white clouds, the Qingchuan sandbar, the green trees and grass, and the sunset river, which are vivid and colorful. The whole poem is full of artistic meaning and aesthetic feeling.
