"One Poem a Day": "Yellow Crane Tower" Tang. Cui Hao

The old man has gone by the yellow crane,

The Yellow Crane Tower is empty here.

The Yellow Crane is gone,

The white clouds are long and long.

Harukawa Calendar Hanyang Tree,

Parrot Island.

Where is Nippori Pass,

The Smoke Wave River is sad.

(Poetry appreciation: (1) "Commentary": "Cui Hao" a famous poet of the Tang Dynasty, contemporary with Li Bai Dufu; "Yellow Crane Tower" is located on the Snake Mountain in Wuhan, Hubei Province, one of the four famous buildings in the world; "Hanyang" place name is one of the three towns in Wuhan; "Parrot Island" place name Yangtze River middle sandbar; "Xiangguan" back to the hometown of Guanshan Trail. (2) "Translation": The immortals have traveled far away by the Yellow Crane, and the lonely Yellow Crane Tower is left here. The yellow crane goes and does not return, only the white clouds remain empty for thousands of years. When the weather is clear, the Hanyang trees are vividly remembered, and the herbs are clearly visible like the Parrot Island. The red sun is shrouded in twilight, where is the hometown? The vast river is full of sorrow. (3) "Appreciation": Although Cui Hao's "Yellow Crane Tower" does not follow the rules at all, and repeats the word "Yellow Crane" three times in two times, as if it is a big taboo, it has been praised by people for thousands of years: Yan Yu of the Southern Song Dynasty even praised in the "Canglang Poetry": The Seven Laws of the Tang Dynasty should be Cui Hao's "Yellow Crane Tower" as the first; the "Biography of Tang Caizi" records that Li Bai traveled to the Yellow Crane Tower and had a great poem, but after reading Cui Hao's poem, he had no choice but to say to himself: there is a scenery in front of him, and Cui Hao has a poem on it. When Sun Su of the Qing Dynasty, a retired soldier of Hengtang, edited the classification of the "Three Hundred Poems of Tang Dynasty", cui Hao's "Yellow Crane Tower" was also ranked first in the Seven Sayings poem, and Li Bai's "Dengjinling Phoenix Platform" ranked sixth. At this point, people may ask, where is cui Hao's "Yellow Crane Tower" good? Experts have long explained. Personally, I think the most prominent highlight seems to be that it can hit the heart and resonate with most readers. The whole poem is eclectic and completed in one go, like a stroke of God. Nostalgia for the wonders of a thousand years, metaphors for the nostalgia of thousands of miles. Even if you read it today, it is still catchy, the aftersound is lingering, the same frequency resonance, and the feeling is empathetic. I deeply feel the beauty of the artistic conception, the beauty of rhetoric, the beauty of confrontation, and the beauty of rhyme of classic poetry. ）
