The Yellow River winds from a distant place, carrying thousands of miles of yellow sand.
Since you are from the sky, and now you seem to fly directly to the Milky Way, please take me to the sky, gather in the Milky Way, and go to the home of Cowherd and Weaver Girl together.
The first two sentences of the poem describe the magnificent picture from the horizon and gallop thousands of miles in a simple way. Jiuqu describes the twists and turns of the Yellow River in an exaggerated way. "From the ends of the earth" vividly depicts the long history of the Yellow River, which is similar to the sentence "How the water of the Yellow River moves out of heaven and into the ocean, and never returns" in Li Bai's "Into the Wine". The last two sentences use Zhang Qian's allusions to find the source of the river for Emperor Wu and the Cowherd and the Weaver Maid across the Milky Way, and express his imagination that he will face the stormy waves and yellow sand in Wan Li until he reaches the home of the Cowherd and the Weaver Maid, which shows the poet's heroic spirit.
