So, what is Li Bai's description of the Yellow River in his poems? The following will be discussed in combination with several poems and songs of Li Bai.

Li Bai, with his unique perspective, gives his poems a strong visual effect, so that readers can not only feel the magnificence of the Yellow River, but also stop to appreciate its charm.
2. Yellow Crane Tower
"How did the water of the Yellow River flow out of heaven and into the ocean?"
This sentence comes from Li Bai's Yellow Crane Tower, which describes the shape and direction of the Yellow River. The Yellow River, commonly known as "the water of surging waves", is famous for its source on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau and its flow into the Bohai Sea through Henan, Shaanxi and other provinces and cities. In The Yellow Crane Tower, Li Bai expressed the amazing momentum and spectacular scenery of the Yellow River in short and pithy language, which amazed readers.
3. Say goodbye to Meng Haoran on the way to Yangzhou
"The Yellow River meets the tide of wine, and the river is in front of the Emperor Wudi Temple."
This poem comes from the poem "Farewell to Meng Haoran on the way to Yangzhou" written by Li Bai's good friend Meng Haoran. The Yellow River here is described as a huge wine spoon, and the stars in the sky are like wine poured into the wine spoon, injecting new life into the rippling Yellow River. In front of the Temple of Emperor Wu gives readers an illusion, and the scenery at the intersection of the Yellow River and the Yangtze River is particularly spectacular.
At this time, the Yellow River ended its roaming and ran down at night, which also showed the elegant and smooth charm of Li Bai's creation.
4, "will enter the wine"
"The Yellow River is far away from the white clouds and is an isolated city, Wan Ren Mountain."

In his eyes, the Yellow River is rugged and steep, in sharp contrast with the surrounding scenery, and it is even more majestic and steep, which seems difficult to climb. Li Bai used "an isolated city" to describe the location of the Yellow River.
