Xin, a scholar in Yuan Dynasty, recorded in Biography of the Tang Dynasty that Li Bai boarded the Yellow Crane Tower and saw the foggy Yangtze River. He wanted to write a poem, but when he saw Cui Hao's works, he gave up and said, "There is no road ahead, and Cui Hao wrote a poem on it." Yan Yu said in Cang Shi Lang Dialect: "The Yellow Crane Tower by Cui Hao should be the first of seven-character poems in the Tang Dynasty." In this way, the Yellow Crane Tower in Cui Hao is even more famous.

The Yellow Crane Tower is a masterpiece because the poem itself has a very high aesthetic significance.

First, the artistic beauty of combining image with reality. The poet wrote the common feelings of people who boarded the Yellow Crane Tower at that time. The scenery is magnificent, and the feelings are sincere and magnificent.

Second, the weather depicted is magnificent and colorful, with the beauty of painting.

Painting in poetry has always been regarded as an artistic standard of landscape poetry, and the Yellow Crane Tower has reached this wonderful realm. On the whole picture shown in the poem, the close view, distant view, sun view and evening view of the Yellow Crane Tower appear alternately, with wonderful changes and magnificent weather, while the immortals, yellow cranes, famous buildings, places of interest, blue sky and white clouds, Qingchuan sandbars, green trees and grass, and sunset clouds set each other off, with vivid images and colorful colors. The whole poem is full of picturesque feelings and picturesque beauty. In addition, polysyllabic words and phrases are frequently used, such as "Yellow Crane" and "Gui", polysyllabic phrases such as "Here" and "On the River", as well as "You", "Li" and "Long".

It is understandable that this poem is known as the swan song of the Yellow Crane Tower because of its superb art.
