But I look to my hometown, and the twilight is getting thicker. What does the sad mist on the river waves mean?

1, which means it's 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.

2, the original poem:

Yellow Crane Tower

Cui Hao in Tang Dynasty

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 home, and the twilight was getting thicker. The river is shrouded in mist, which brings people deep melancholy.

3. Translation:

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 trees are clearly visible in the sun, and Parrot Island is covered with a piece of 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.

4. Appreciate:

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. There are many poems about the Yellow Crane Tower in past dynasties, but Cui Hao's Seven Rhymes are the best. Look at what he wrote: A long time ago, a yellow crane carried a saint to heaven, and now there is nothing but the 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 home, and the twilight was getting thicker. The river is shrouded in mist, which brings people deep melancholy.

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. This poem is not only Cui Hao's masterpiece and handed down from generation to generation, but also laid the foundation for his poetic title. This conclusion is by no means a person's, nor am I insisting on giving Kaifeng people a golden face. Three Hundred Poems of Tang Poetry is an anthology of Tang poetry in later generations, so Cui Hao's poems are listed as the first of the seven laws. This shows the importance of this poem. In the Yuan Dynasty, the new biography of talented people in Tang Dynasty recorded that Li Bai boarded the Yellow Crane Tower to write poems, but when he saw the works, he put his hands together and said, "There is no road ahead, so write poems on it." Some people say that this is not necessarily because it was attached by later generations. But I don't think it's all fake. I have two poems written by Li Bai about the Yellow Crane Tower. One is "Yellow Crane Tower Farewell to Meng Haoran on the way to Yangzhou": "An old friend said goodbye to the West Yellow Crane Tower, and fireworks went down to Yangzhou in March. Lonely sails are far away from the sky. I only saw the Yangtze River flowing in the sky. " The other is "Listening to the Yellow Crane Tower Flute with Shilang Zhong Qin": "One is to move a guest to Changsha and look at Chang 'an in the west without seeing home. The Jade Emperor blows the Yellow Crane Tower, and plum blossoms fall into the river in May. "Although they are all related to the Yellow Crane Tower, they are all entrusted with other purposes, not completely depicting the scenery. At the same time, the first four sentences of his Nautilus Island, "The parrot crossed the Wujiang River eastward, and the name of the parrot spread in Jiangshangzhou. Parrots fly to Longshan in the west, and the trees are similar to Cui Shifa. The same is true of his Poems of Going to Nanjing and Climbing the Phoenix Terrace, all of which have obvious traces of imitating Cui Shi's style. Therefore, it is not Li Bai's words to admit that Cui's poems are excellent, such as "there is no scenery in front of me, and poetry is on it". "Cang Hua" (Yan Yu) said: "The Yellow Crane Tower should be the first of seven-character poems in the Tang Dynasty." Although controversial, for example, Hu Yinglin called Du Fu's ascent the highest of the seven laws in ancient and modern times, it is indeed a pertinent word representing everyone's opinions. In this way, the Yellow Crane Tower in Cui Hao is even more famous.
