A long time ago, a yellow crane carried a saint to heaven. Now there is nothing but the Yellow Crane Tower. The yellow crane never returned to the earth, and the white clouds will never fly without him. This is a famous sentence in the ancient poem Yellow Crane Tower.
Interpretation of poetry:
The immortal of the past has flown away with the Yellow Crane, leaving only an empty Yellow Crane Tower here. The yellow crane never came back. For thousands of years, it only saw long white clouds. Hanyang tree is clearly visible under the sunlight. Nautilus Island is covered with green grass. It is getting late. Looking into the distance, where is my hometown? In front of me, I saw a mist hanging over the river, which brought people deep sorrow.

How many people have been dumped by this well-known seven laws throughout the ages. Author Cui Hao, a scholar in the Kaiyuan period of the Tang Dynasty, was appointed as the foreign minister of Si Xun, a Tang Dynasty envoy, during the Tianbao period.
Poem couplets borrow myths and legends, and immortals soar by the appearance of the Yellow Crane, leaving only the Yellow Crane Tower. The first sentence is sublime, meaning the eternity of time and space. At the beginning of the whole poem, it gives people a feeling of spiritual purification and distant time and space.
Necklace "Yellow crane no longer comes, and white clouds no longer fly." Strong sense of history and empty inspiration. The rise and fall of countries, historical changes, such as the yellow crane never revisited earth. Only white clouds, like human beings, are still so elusive. But it turned out to be nothing.
Abdominal couplet "Every tree in Hanyang is clear, and a nest of herbs in Nautilus Island." Ming writes about scenery, and also writes about the historical desolation of poets. Looking around, the trees in Hanyang area are lifelike in the bright sunshine; Nautilus Island, which stands in the middle of the river, is covered with green grass. This scene has been like this for many years. In modern research, Nautilus Island is gradually accumulated due to the slow current in the lower reaches of the Yangtze River.
Yes, at that time, the state guesthouse was a good place to travel. However, the currents on both sides of the mainland were in a hurry and washed away, leading to the collapse of Nautilus Island (vaguely remembering the collapse of the mainland in the Ming Dynasty). After the collapse, the current will slow down, and a new parrot island will be alluvial in a few years. This cycle takes about 1000 years.
Tail couplet: "But I look to my hometown, the twilight is getting dark, and there is a sad mist on the river waves." The poet looked at the distant smoke and waves, the scenery was blurred, and he didn't feel the setting sun. This scene reminds the poet of his distant hometown and evokes a trace of homesickness. This sentence also resonated with later readers.
Cui Hao's poems have been regarded as the first of the seven laws since ancient times. Legend has it that Li Bai also went upstairs and left a poem. After seeing this poem by Cui Hao, I thought that no matter how I conceived it, I would never write anything more than this poem, so I stopped writing, so as not to spoil my own name. This is why Li Bai traveled all over the famous mountains and rivers, leaving many poems, but did not (deliberately) sing the Yellow Crane Tower.
