The solitary sail in the distance and the clear blue sky means that only the Yangtze River can be seen on the skyline.

"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." Translation: The shadow of the friend's lone sail gradually fades away and disappears at the end of the blue sky. Only a line of the Yangtze River can be seen, rushing towards the distant sky. . It comes from "Farewell to Meng Haoran at the Yellow Crane Tower in Guangling", which is a farewell poem written by Li Bai, a great poet of the Tang Dynasty.

Original text:

My old friend bid farewell to the Yellow Crane Tower in the west, and fireworks descended from 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.

Translation:

My old friend waved goodbye to the Yellow Crane Tower, and went on a long trip to Yangzhou in March when catkins were like smoke and flowers were blooming.

The shadow of the friend's lone boat gradually moved away and disappeared at the end of the blue sky. Only a line of the Yangtze River was seen, rushing towards the distant sky.

Appreciation:

The first sentence expresses the place of farewell: the famous Yellow Crane Tower; the second sentence expresses the time and destination of farewell: the spring scenery of "Fireworks in March" and the scenery of the southeast " "Yangzhou"; three or four sentences, describing the farewell scene: watching the lonely sail go away; leaving only the spring water of the river.

The whole poem embodies the emotion of separation in the description of the scene. With the gorgeous and mottled spring scenery of fireworks and the vast Yangtze River as the background, it does its best to render it, painting a picture of broad artistic conception, endless emotion and color. A bright and elegant poet's farewell painting. Although this poem is a farewell poem, it is written elegantly and smartly, with deep but not stagnant emotion, eternal but not sad meaning, beautiful but not superficial words, and far-reaching rhyme but not empty.
