The first two lines of this poem describe the vastness of the northwest frontier. The first sentence captures the special feeling of looking at the Yellow River from the bottom (swimming) to the top (swimming), and depicts the dynamic picture of "white clouds on the Yellow River far away".
The clause "Lonely City on the Cliff" appears and blocks the lonely city, which is one of the main images of poetry and belongs to the main part of the "picture scroll", with "White clouds on the Far Yellow River" as its tall background and "mountains" as its close background. In the contrast of distant mountains, it is beneficial to see the steep and isolated terrain of the city.
