Abstract：The lection in the first line of the Tang poem ＂Liang Zhou Ci＂ hasn＇t been settled up to now because not enough attention has been paid to the protagonist and his vision. When Wu Qiao in the Qing Dynasty questions ＂the Yellow River extends to the white clouds＂ and asks ＂How can one see the river since it is a thousand miles away？＂, he is trying to see from the protagonist perspective, whereas many defenders of the poem adopt the omnipresent narrator＇ s view. Actually, the protagonist in this poem is a traveler （ alter ego of the poet） who comes to the frontier from afar, and the poet is depicting the scene from a traveler＇ s limited vision. Hence, it should be ＂the yellow sand extends＂ rather than ＂the Yellow River extends＂ or ＂the yellow sand flies＂ in the first line. Such views as ＂a soldier as protagonist＂ or ＂ a back view＂ favored by some ars, and their arguments on aesthetic sense, imagery and environment, are all arguable.
