How does the Yellow Crane Tower express the author's feelings?

It expresses the poet's homesickness and the author's sadness, homesickness and helplessness.

Cui Hao's Yellow Crane Tower describes the beautiful scenery overlooking the Yellow Crane Tower, which is a masterpiece of nostalgia.

The poet organically combines the narrow homesickness of missing relatives with the broad homesickness of caring for the whole world, which makes the charm and character of this poem reach the peak of its kind.

The place where the Yellow Crane carried saints to heaven a long time ago is now only 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.

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, only Hanyang trees can be clearly seen in the long white clouds and sunshine, and Nautilus 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.

The first couplet of this poem, spreading information and skillfully using allusions, leads to the Yellow Crane Tower from the return of crane; Zhuan Xu closely followed the first couplet, saying that the Yellow Crane Tower has gone through thousands of years since the immortal left; With the poetic turn of the neckline, I entered the description of the scenery and wrote down what I saw in the Yellow Crane Tower on a sunny day. The end of the couplet is to write about the feeling of returning home at sunset along the Yanbo River, which makes the poem return to the intangible realm at the beginning.

Although the whole poem is not harmonious, the syllables are clear and not awkward. Scenes blend and artistic conception is profound.
