Li Bai's Ancient Poems of Yellow Crane Tower

The original text and translation of Li Bai's "Farewell to Meng Haoran on the way to Yangzhou from Yellow Crane Tower" are as follows:

Original: An old friend stayed at the Yellow Crane Tower in the west, and fireworks went down to Yangzhou in March. My friend's sail shadow faded away and disappeared at the end of the blue sky, only seeing the first line of the Yangtze River and heading for the distant horizon.

The old friend said goodbye to the Yellow Crane Tower and went east, and drifted to Yangzhou, where fireworks were woven in March. The sail shadow gradually disappeared at the junction of water and sky, only to see the rolling Yangtze River water rushing on the horizon.

When Li Bai lived in Anlu, he met Meng Haoran, who was twelve years older than him, and soon became close friends. In March 730, Li Bai learned that Meng Haoran was going to Guangling and asked Meng Haoran to meet him in Jiangxia. 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".

Appreciation of Yellow Crane Tower-Meng Haoran s farewell on his way to Yangzhou;

This is a farewell poem that combines feelings and scenery. Based on the colorful and mottled fireworks in spring and the endless Yangtze River, the poem tries its best to render a farewell painting with broad artistic conception, endless emotions, bright colors and endless charm. Although this poem is a farewell work, it is elegant and smart, affectionate but not stagnant, meaningful but not sad, beautiful but not floating, and far-reaching rhyme.

In a word, this poetic parting of two romantic and chic poets is another yearning parting of Li Bai, which vividly shows the vast picture of boating on the Yangtze River and the details of lonely sails in the distance with the gorgeous scenery in March.
