Tips

history
Tang dynasty poet from Bianzhou (汴州, modern Kaifeng). His most celebrated poem 《黄鹤楼》 (Huánghèlóu) 'Yellow Crane Tower', written at the tower in Wuhan, was ranked the greatest seven-character regulated verse (七律 qīlǜ) of the Tang by Ming critic Yan Yu. Legend has it that Li Bai (李白) himself was so awed he refused to write his own poem on the same tower.
culture
The opening lines — 昔人已乘黄鹤去，此地空余黄鹤楼 (xī rén yǐ chéng huánghè qù, cǐ dì kōng yú Huánghèlóu) 'The old man has ridden the yellow crane away, leaving only the empty Yellow Crane Tower' — are among the most quoted in Chinese poetry.
