Cui Hao wrote four Songs of Changgan, and this is the first. It is also titled Ballad of Changgan. Changgan is a place in today's Nanjing, Jiangsu, near the Yangtze River. Songs of Changgan were first folk songs from that area. In this poem two boats meet on the river, and a young woman on one boat calls out to a person on the other. The second song in the set is the reply.
崔颢写了四首《长干曲》，这是第一首。题目一作《长干行》。长干是地名，在今天江苏南京，靠近长江。“长干曲”本来是这一带的民歌。这首诗写江上两条船相遇，一条船上的姑娘向另一条船上的人打招呼。第二首就是对方的回答。
Cui Hao (died 754) was a Tang poet from Bianzhou, today's Kaifeng in Henan. His most famous poem is Yellow Crane Tower. Legend says even Li Bai felt he could not write a better one. This set of Songs of Changgan follows folk songs. The language is plain and natural, like everyday talk.
崔颢（？—754），唐代诗人，汴州（今河南开封）人。他最有名的诗是《黄鹤楼》，传说李白看了都觉得自己写不过他。这组《长干曲》学的是民歌，语言朴素自然，像人们平常说话一样。
The poem is like a conversation, but only one person speaks. A young woman on the river hears a familiar accent from the other boat and cannot help stopping to ask: where is your home? Before the other can answer, she tells about herself: I live at Hengtang. Only then does she say why she asks: maybe we are from the same place. The words come quick and direct, and an open, warm young woman stands before us. Anyone who has heard their home accent far from home knows that warm surprise.
这首诗像一段对话，却只有一个人在说话。江上的姑娘听到对面船上的口音很熟悉，忍不住停下船来问：你家住在哪里？还没等对方回答，她又先说了自己：我住在横塘。最后才说出为什么要问：说不定我们是同乡呢。几句话又急又直，一个大方、热情的姑娘就站在我们眼前了。在外面听到家乡话，那种亲切和惊喜，每个人都能懂。
