From a distance, the river seems to be flowing outside the world. From a close look, the mountains are misty, if there is anything.

A long time ago, a yellow crane carried a saint to heaven. 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. -From Cui Hao's "Climbing the Yellow Crane Tower" in the Tang Dynasty
Interpretation of vernacular Chinese: The immortals of the past have flown by the Yellow Crane, leaving only the empty Yellow Crane Tower here. The yellow crane never came back here. For thousands of years, only white clouds have been fluttering. The trees in Qingchuan Pavilion in Hanyang are clearly visible, as is Parrot Island with lush vegetation. I don't know where my hometown is at dusk Seeing the foggy waves on the river is even more worrying!

5, the old friend resigned from the West Yellow Crane Tower, and fireworks went down to Yangzhou in March.
