"Fireworks descend in Yangzhou in March", and the word "fireworks" was added to "March", smearing the atmosphere of that poem in the farewell environment. Fireworks refer to misty smoke and flowers. The reader's feeling is by no means a piece of land or a flower, but an invisible and impenetrable smoke cloud in spring. March is the season of fireworks, and the prosperous lower reaches of the Yangtze River in Kaiyuan era is the place of fireworks. Fireworks in March not only reproduces the charming scenery of the bustling place in late spring, but also reveals the flavor of the times.
The original text is as follows:
Old friends frequently waved to me, bid farewell to the Yellow Crane Tower, and traveled to Yangzhou in this beautiful spring filled with catkins and flowers.
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.
The translation is as follows:
My friend waved goodbye to me at the Yellow Crane Tower. He will go to Yangzhou in sunny March.
His sail shadow gradually disappeared into the blue sky, only to see the rolling Yangtze River rushing in the horizon.

The Yellow Crane Tower Farewell to Meng Haoran in Yangzhou is the work of Li Bai when he entered Sichuan to visit Zhuang. Li Bai is a poet who loves nature and likes to make friends. He is "according to a constant habit in my life". He traveled all his life in wandering and wandering, and his footprints spread all over the Central Plains, leaving many works praising the beauty of nature and friendship. In the fifteenth year of Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty, Li Baidong returned to Anlu, Hubei Province, at the age of 27.
He lived in Anlu for ten years, but most of the time, he made friends with poetry and traveled abroad. In his own words, "it's a waste of ten years to keep wine in the land." That is, while living in Anlu, Li Bai met Meng Haoran who was twelve years older than him. Meng Haoran admired Li Bai very much and they soon became close friends. In March of the eighteenth year of Kaiyuan, Li Bai learned that Meng Haoran was going to Guangling (now Yangzhou, Jiangsu), so he sent a letter to meet Meng Haoran in Jiangxia (now Wuchang District, Wuhan).
A few days later, Meng Haoran took a boat to the east, and Li Bai personally sent it to the river. When I was leaving, I wrote this song "Farewell to Meng Haoran on the way to Yangzhou by the Yellow Crane Tower".
