Huangdenghelou
Author: Cui Hao
The fairy of the past has flown away by the yellow crane, leaving only an empty Yellow Crane Tower.
The yellow crane never revisited earth, there have been no long white clouds for thousands of years.
Every tree in Hanyang has become clear due to sunlight, and Nautilus Island is covered with sweet grass.
But I looked at my hometown, and the twilight was getting thicker, and the mist of sadness was filled on the river waves.

The legendary fairy flew over the yellow crane long ago,
There is only the empty Yellow Crane Tower left in this place.
The flying yellow crane will never come back,
Only the long white clouds will last for thousands of years.
The trees in Qingchuan Pavilion in Hanyang are lifelike.
The grass on Nautilus Island grows thick and thick.
I don't know where my hometown is at dusk
Facing the foggy river, it is worrying!
Make an appreciative comment
This poem is a masterpiece of nostalgia. The poet boarded the historical site Yellow Crane Tower and got a panoramic view of the scenery before him. His poems are full of emotion, blurted out and beyond words. It is both natural and magnificent, full of personality. Poetry is not harmonious, but the syllables are clear and not awkward. It's really one step at a time, and it has become a treasure admired by all previous dynasties.
Legend has it that Li Bai boarded this building and witnessed this poem, which impressed him deeply. He said: "There is a scene in front of me, with Cui Hao's poems on it." Yan Canglang also said that the seven-character poems of the Tang Dynasty should be the first. It shows that poetry is precious to nature, even if it is metrical. This poem is written with an open artistic conception, great verve, picturesque scenery and sincere feelings. And simple and vivid, just like spoken English, can't help but be amazing.
The first couplet: The poet came here with great longing for the Yellow Crane Tower, but the immortal drove the crane without a trace, and the crane left the building empty, and an ordinary river tower was in front of him. "Where the yellow crane used to carry saints to heaven, now only the Yellow Crane Tower is left." The gap between the beautiful vision and the ordinary river building has laid a lost background in the poet's heart and laid a potential foreshadowing for the expression of homesickness complex.
Couplet: "The yellow crane will not return to the world, and the white clouds will never fly without him" is a couplet in the poem. The natural scene where rivers meet the sky is more and more magnificent because of white clouds. Influenced by this scene, the poet's mood gradually brightened, and the feelings in his chest grew wings: the long history and beautiful legend of the Yellow Crane Tower were repeated in front of his eyes, but in the end, things changed and the crane was gone. What can people leave to stand the test of time? She is nothing, she is making the world die, the ocean dry up, the rocks collapse, and giving up her constant nostalgia and nostalgia. This sentence is of universal significance, which expresses the poet's fantasy that the years are hard to come by and the world is at a loss, and also paves the way for writing about the infinite sadness of the difficulty of returning home, thus becoming a famous sentence that is deeply concerned and repeatedly tasted.
The meaning of "yellow crane" in the poem is very clear, except for the entity "crane", its direction should be "everything" Gone forever contains the endless sadness of being born at an untimely time and not waiting for people when they are old. "Baiyun" is unpredictable, which means the author's unpredictable sigh. If the word and "empty leisurely" make people see the vastness of space, then "Millennium" makes people see the infinity of time. The combination of time and space produces a sense of historical depth and space openness, and even gives birth to homesickness.
Necklace: "Every tree in Hanyang becomes clear in the water, and Nautilus Island is a nest of herbs." With a stroke of the pen, the legendary immortal, Yellow Crane and Yellow Crane Tower all became what the poet saw before his eyes, and the illusory legend became what he saw before his eyes. The clear sky in Wan Li, the trees in Hanyang City separated by water and the lush grass on Nautilus Island paint a picture of ethereal distance, which sets the stage for the poet's homesickness.
Tail couplet: "But I look at home, and the twilight is getting dark? There is a sad mist on the river waves. " Sunset sets, night falls, birds return to their nests, ships return home, and wanderers return home. But where is the hometown of vagrants in the world? The river is foggy, and thick fog is born in front of you. It's a faint tear, and it's a broad homesickness that concerns the whole world. When I ask about my hometown, I feel homesick. Faced with this situation, there is no reason for anyone to miss home. The poem ends with a "worry", which accurately expresses the poet's mood when he boarded the Yellow Crane Tower at dusk, and at the same time takes care of the metaphor at the beginning, expressing the lingering homesickness with ups and downs, reaching the implication, the feelings inside the table and the echo outside the painting.
explain
Cui Hao's early poems mostly described boudoir feelings and reflected women's life. Later, I went to the frontier fortress, and the frontier fortress poems I wrote were generous and heroic, and my poetic style became bold and unrestrained. But Cui Hao's most famous poem is the Yellow Crane Tower. According to legend, this poem touched the great poet Li Bai. In the Song Dynasty, the Chronicle of Tang Poetry in Jigong made a bet on the poem Yellow Crane Tower, saying, "The legend in the world is too white:' There is no road in front of you, and Cui Hao inscribed a poem on it.' He wrote the poem Phoenix Terrace to compare the ending. Yuan Fang's Biography of Tang Caizi also recorded Li's Yellow Crane Tower, because he saw the poem, which is "Doing nothing, gathering hands to be philosophers". Of course, this legend is not necessarily true. Ji Yougong expressed his doubts behind the note. However, Li Bai's poem "On Nanjing Going to the Phoenix Tower" is indeed similar to Cui Zuo in writing. As for his poem "Nautilus Island": "Parrots have been to Wujiang River, and Jiangshangzhou passed on the name of parrots. Parrot flies west to Longshan, he is green, the tree of Zhou Fang! Spring breeze and warm clouds bring the fragrance of orchids, and peach blossoms fall into the river to form layers of brocade waves. At this time, the relocation of guests is extremely eye-catching. Who belongs to Cheung Chau alone? " Then not only the first four sentences are similar to Cui Shi's poems in format, but also the style of the whole poem is forced to be very simple. The first volume of Ying Lu Kui Sui, written by Fang Hui in Song and Yuan Dynasties, pointed out: "Taibai's poem is a poem with great influence. It was processed in May and June, and the ending sentence contains a sigh, so it is still not very restrained." Therefore, this poem has always been highly respected. Yan Yu's Cang Lang Shi Hua in the Southern Song Dynasty holds that "Cui Hao's Yellow Crane Tower should be the first of seven-character poems in the Tang Dynasty." It was not until the influential Three Poems of Tang Dynasty edited by Sun Zhu in Qing Dynasty that Cui Hao's Yellow Crane Tower was placed in the first poem of "Seven-character Rhyme".
Of course, The Yellow Crane Tower is a masterpiece mainly because of the aesthetic implication of the poem itself.
First, the artistic beauty of combining image with reality.
The former site of the Yellow Crane Tower is in Huanggu Jitou, HuangHeshan (Snake Mountain), Wuchang. According to legend, it was built in the Wu period of the Three Kingdoms and was repeatedly destroyed and repaired. The balconies, pillow mountains and rivers in the past were magnificent and ethereal, and there were some doubts about the "Fairy Palace". According to legend, the immortal rode the yellow crane here (A Record of Qi Xie), and rode the yellow crane here every time he escaped and ascended the immortal (A Record of the Taiping Universe). The poet climbs the building and looks into the distance, imagining things. The first four sentences of the poem begin with legends, which lead to inner feelings. The scenery contains feelings and images. Immortals ride on cranes and never return. Immortals go to empty buildings, leaving only blue sky and white clouds, which are long for thousands of years. It not only contains the feeling of the passing of time and the vastness of the world, but also vaguely reveals the vastness and heroism of the Yellow Crane Tower, and the beautiful legend of the fairy crossing the crane adds magical and charming colors to the Yellow Crane Tower, which makes people daydream far and wide.
The Yellow Crane Tower is named after its Yellow Crane Mountain. The so-called "immortal riding crane" is a myth attached to the name. However, the poet skillfully uses these legends to grow out of the void, thus making this poem attractive in art. Then I wrote a real scene, and the scenery on the other side of the river is beautiful: the sunny river, the clear and numerous green trees in Hanyang, and the grass on Nautilus Island is very lush. Parrot Island in Hanyang was originally a sandbar in the Yangtze River southwest of Wuhan. Legend has it that it was named after Mi Fei wrote "Parrot Fu" here at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, and it was gradually washed away by the river. Today's Nautilus Island is no longer the hometown before Song Dynasty. The scenery in front of us is bright and open, full of vitality, which makes people feel relaxed and happy, and they linger, even until the sunset on the riverside and the dusk strikes. Cui Hao roamed the south. After a long absence from home, I feel homesick in the face of the heavy twilight and the boundless kitchen smoke: "But I look home, and the dusk is getting dark? There is a sad mist on the river waves. " The poet goes with the flow, which not only shows the author's rich and complicated inner feelings, but also shows the colorful natural scenery, changing feelings and changing scenery of the Yellow Crane Tower, resulting in a beautiful and moving artistic conception. As A Qing poet Shen Deqian commented on this poem in the thirteenth volume of "Collection of Tang Poems": "The meaning is like the first, and the words are written in a vertical pen, so they are good at making great achievements through the ages."
The second is the magnificent weather and colorful painting beauty.
Painting in poetry has always been regarded as an artistic standard of landscape poetry, and the Yellow Crane Tower has reached this wonderful realm. In The Legend of the Fairy Riding a Crane, the first couplet depicts a close-up view of the Yellow Crane Tower, which means that the building is surrounded by mountains and waters and the situation is magnificent. In the lyric poem lamenting that "Yellow Crane will never come to earth again", Zhuan Xu described the prospect of Yellow Crane Tower, showing the spectacular sight of towering buildings and white clouds. The beautiful scenery of the neckline directly outlines the bright sunshine on the river outside the Yellow Crane Tower. The tail couplet echoes around the beam, whispering tactfully, indirectly showing the hazy evening scene on the lower reaches of the Yellow Crane Tower. On the whole picture shown in the poem, the close view, distant view, sun view and night view of the Yellow Crane Tower appear alternately, with wonderful changes and magnificent weather. Against each other are the immortal yellow crane, the famous building resort, the blue sky and white clouds, the Qingchuan sandbar, the green trees and grass, and the sunset river, which are vivid and colorful. The whole poem is full of artistic meaning and aesthetic feeling.
Third, the musical beauty with natural timbre and clear syllables.
Rhyme has strict metrical requirements. In fact, the Yellow Crane Tower is not the standard seven laws. The fifth and sixth words in the first and second sentences are actually "Yellow Crane", the third sentence is finished with six strokes, and the fourth sentence is finished with three tones. It's almost the syntax of ancient poetry without antithesis. The words "Hanyang Tree" and "Nautilus Island" in the fifth and sixth sentences seem to be right or wrong. The reason why it is considered as the masterpiece of "Seven-character Rhyme" lies in its natural tone and clear syllables, in addition to the artistic conception and painting beauty analyzed earlier. The first four sentences of this poem are blurted out, followed by letters, in one go, and go straight down with the trend, so there is no time to take into account the metrical antithesis of the seven laws. "Although the scenery is broken on May 6, the gas is overflowing and the income is the same, so it is valuable." (For Fang's comments in the Qing Dynasty, see Poetry in Tang and Song Dynasties, Volume 5. ) Because the whole poem is finished in one breath, it reads naturally and smoothly. Coupled with the repeated use of disyllabic words, rhymes, reduplicated words or phrases, such as "Yellow Crane" and "Return", disyllabic phrases, reduplicated words such as "Here" and "On the River", reduplicated words such as "Youyou", "Lili" and "Lush", the sound of this poem is caused.
