The poem comes from Li Bai's farewell to Meng Haoran on the way to Yangzhou from the Yellow Crane Tower. The lonely sail is far from the blue sky, and only the Yangtze River flows in the sky. " The creation background of this poem is: In the 15th year of Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty (727), Li Baidong returned from a tour and arrived in 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, "wine is safe and secure, and ten years are wasted." 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 18th year of Kaiyuan (730), Li Bai learned that Meng Haoran was going to Guangling (now Yangzhou, Jiangsu), so he sent someone to Jiangxia (now Wuchang District, Wuhan) to meet Meng Haoran.
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".
Visitors who like ancient gardens can have a panoramic view of Ge Yuan and Heyuan, but in the spring of March, Slender West Lake (5A scenic spot) may be the first choice for Yangzhou tourism. In the evening, you can eat snacks in Dongguan Street, enjoy the night view of the ancient canal in Dongguan and feel the inside story of the city.
