Tang Dynasty: Li Bai

Old friends frequently waved to me, bid farewell to the Yellow Crane Tower, and traveled to Yangzhou in this beautiful spring filled with catkins and flowers.

My friend's sail shadow faded away and disappeared at the end of the blue sky, only seeing the first line of the Yangtze River and heading for the distant horizon. (Pass only: Only)

Translation and annotation

My friend said goodbye to me at the Yellow Crane Tower, and went to Yangzhou for a long trip in the spring of March when catkins were like smoke and flowers were like flowers.

The shadow of the solitary sail gradually disappeared at the end of the blue sky, only to see the rolling Yangtze River heading for the sky.

To annotate ...

Yellow Crane Tower: A famous scenic spot in China, it is located in Sheshan Yellow Chicken in Wuchang, Wuhan City, Hubei Province, and belongs to the lower reaches of the Yangtze River. According to legend, Fei Yi died of the Yellow Crane in the Three Kingdoms period, so it was called Yellow Crane Tower. The original building was destroyed and the existing building was restored on 1985. Meng Haoran: Li Bai's friend. One: Go and arrive. Guangling: Yangzhou.

Old friend: Old friend, this refers to Meng Haoran. He is older than Li Bai and enjoys a high reputation in the field of poetry. Li Bai admires him very much and has deep feelings for each other, so he is called an "old friend".

Remarks: Goodbye.

Fireworks: describe spring scenery with catkins like smoke and flowers like brocade.

Creation background

When Li Bai lived in Anlu, he met Meng Haoran, who was twelve years older than him, and soon became close friends. In March 730 (the eighteenth year of Kaiyuan), Li Bai learned that Meng Haoran was going to Guangling (now Yangzhou, Jiangsu) and asked Meng Haoran to meet him in Jiangxia (now Wuchang District, Wuhan). A few days later, Meng Haoran took a boat to the east, and Li Bai personally sent it to the river. When I was leaving, I wrote this song "Farewell to Meng Haoran on the way to Yangzhou by the Yellow Crane Tower".
