Ancient saying of Yellow Crane Tower

The old saying of Yellow Crane Tower is as follows:

1, an old friend stayed in the West Yellow Crane Tower, and fireworks went down to Yangzhou in March. 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.

2. The place where the Yellow Crane carried the 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.

3. Overlooking the Central Plains, battlements stand outside the wilderness. Back in those days, flowers were everywhere, protecting Fengtai and Long Ting. Long live the Pearl in front of the mountain, and Penghu Temple is full of songs. Up to now, fighter planes 7 are all over the suburbs, and the dust is evil.

One is to move the guests to Changsha and see Chang 'an in the west without home. There was a flute sound of "Plum Blossom" from the Yellow Crane Tower, and another drop of plum blossom was seen on the river bank in May.
