The Yellow Crane Tower sends Meng Haoran off to Guangling

The old friend bids farewell to the Yellow Crane Tower in the west, and fireworks descend to Yangzhou in March.

The shadow of the lone sail in the distance is gone in the blue sky, and only the Yangtze River can be seen flowing in the sky.

"Yellow Crane Tower Sends Meng Haoran to Guangling" is a work written by Li Bai during his grand tour to Shu. Li Bai was a poet who loved nature and made friends. He "wanted to travel to famous mountains all his life" and spent his life roaming and wandering. He traveled all over the Central Plains and left behind many works praising the beauty of nature and praising friendship.

In the fifteenth year of Kaiyuan (727) of Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty, Li Bai returned from his eastward journey and arrived in Anlu, Hubei Province. He was twenty-seven years old. He lived in Anlu for ten years, but most of the time he met friends with poetry and wine, and traveled abroad. In his own words, he "lost himself in Anlu for ten years." It was while living in Anlu that Li Bai met Meng Haoran, who was twelve years older than him.

Meng Haoran admired Li Bai very much, and the two soon became close friends. In March of the 18th year of Kaiyuan (730), Li Bai learned that Meng Haoran was going to Guangling (now Yangzhou, Jiangsu), so he asked someone to bring the letter and asked to meet Meng Haoran in Jiangxia (now Wuchang District, Wuhan City). A few days later, Meng Haoran sailed eastward, and Li Bai personally sent him to the riverside. When bidding farewell, I wrote this song "Farewell to Meng Haoran at the Yellow Crane Tower in Guangling".
