崔顥的〈黃鶴樓〉，所以擁有絕唱不朽的文學價值，在於詩中所展現的生命省思與追尋。總括言之有三大方向，即神仙嚮往、揚名當世、回歸原鄉，此皆人類普遍情感的表現。因此在「黃鶴樓」上，崔顥不僅作為一名賞翫佳勝之清客，更於心中反覆經歷了生命價值的選擇與失落。而藉由六朝、隋唐以來的仙境傳說之觀察，更可發覺崔顥的苦悶與思索，非止於個人榮辱，乃奠基於歷史與唐文化下的跨時性產物。

The Yellow Crane Terrace (黃鶴樓) Cui hao (崔顥) is an immortal masterpiece which reflects the meaning and value of our lives. It presents and pictures human emotions though our longing for the fairies, fame and homecoming. In his The Yellow Crane Terrace, Cui hao went beyond the role of just a visitor and repeatedly experienced his choice of the value of life and his feeling of loss. Through the observation on the legends of fairyland from Han Wei Liuchao (漢魏六朝) and Sui Tang (隋唐) on, we catch on Cui hao’s thought and consideration and also his sadness and hopelessness. From this point of view, this poem is actually set on the background of Chinese history and Tand culture.
