This "Yellow Crane Tower" is the representative work of the Tang Dynasty poet Cui Hao, which is extremely famous and respected by all dynasties. Some people even think that it is the first of the seven laws of Tang poetry. About this poem, there is also a widely spread legend: the poet fairy Li Bai came to the Yellow Crane Tower to play, and sighed after seeing this poem: "There is a scene in front of me, and Cui Hao's inscription poem is on it." "It's a compliment.

Let's try to talk about this poem today.

The first four lines of the poem are hanging ancients: "In the past, people have taken the yellow crane to go, and the yellow crane tower is vacant here." The yellow crane is gone, and the white clouds are empty for thousands of years. "It is to the effect that the immortals of the old days have flown away on the yellow crane, and only one yellow crane tower is left empty. After the yellow crane flew away, it never returned, and thousands of years later, only white clouds could be seen floating in the sky. The Yellow Crane Tower is located in Wuchang Snake Mountain, and is named after the legend that the immortal prince An rode the yellow crane in the "Qi Harmonic Chronicles". The author first starts with the legend, and constantly switches back and forth between time and space around the distant crane and the building in front of him, expressing a feeling of the changes in the world. Judging from the penmanship, the author is right.

The treatment of the third and fourth sentences is very special: the first five words are dual, but the last two words are not dual, which enhances a certain uncertainty in the form, and the use of "yellow crane" three times in the other four lines adds a sense of rhythm to this change. In this way, the form and content of the poem are consistent and appear very harmonious.

Poetic. Fifth, the author shifts from looking back at distant history to looking at the scenery in front of him. "Qingchuan Calendar Hanyang Tree, Fangcao Grass Parrot Island": Under the sun, the trees of Hanyang in the distance can be seen, and the grass on the Parrot Island near is even more luxuriant. Compared to the previous unpredictable historical legends, the picturesque scenery in front of you seems to be within reach. Correspondingly, the penmanship is strictly disciplined and a strict duality is adopted, which seems to further enhance this sense of reality.

The last two sentences are based on the situation. Where is the Sunset Township?Yanbo River makes people sad": Dusk is here again, where is my hometown?Facing the vast smoke and waves on the river, it is really infinitely sad. The poet lingered on the Yellow Crane Tower for a long time, and before he knew it, it was almost dusk. On the independent building, in the face of the twilight and the vast river, he felt lonely, and the poet's homesickness could not help but arise spontaneously. These two lines of poetry once again pull the author's thoughts away from the scenery in front of him and towards his distant hometown. This kind of spatial depth is far away from the previous depth of time, giving the whole poem a vast and ethereal charm.

If this poem is compared to a long scroll of landscapes, then the long past is at one end of the painting, and the distant hometown at the other end. And between the left and right, is the Yellow Crane Tower of "Qingchuan Calendar" and "Fangcao".

In short, this poem "Yellow Crane Tower" is a very outstanding work of climbing the tower and cherishing the distance, and it has been praised and praised by the past dynasties. But is there a Tang Qilu first?It's up to you.
