Overall appreciation
In the Yuan Dynasty, the new biography of talented people in Tang Dynasty recorded that Li Bai once wrote poems on the Yellow Crane Tower. When he saw Cui Hao's works, he closed his hand and said, "The scenery in front of him can't be seen. Cui Hao wrote a poem on it." Legend or attachment of later generations may not be true. But Li Bai did write poems twice to imitate this poetic style. The first four sentences of his poem Nautilus Island say: "The parrot crossed the Wujiang River eastward, and its name spread to the upper reaches of the river. The parrot flies to Longshan in the west, and the tree of Zhou Fang is He Qingqing. " Just like Cui Shi. There is also a poem "On the Phoenix Terrace in Nanjing", which is obviously copied. Because of this, many poets have a reputation of oral communication. For example, Yan Yu's Canglang Poetry says, "Cui Hao's Yellow Crane Tower should be the first of seven-character poems in the Tang Dynasty." Gal, Cui Hao's "Yellow Crane Tower" is even more famous.
The reason why the Yellow Crane Tower has become a masterpiece through the ages lies mainly in the aesthetic implication of the poem itself.
