China's Four Famous Towers: Yellow Crane Tower

The Yellow Crane Tower, known as one of the three famous towers in Jiangnan, its original site The Yellow Crane Tower in Jitou, Snake Mountain, Wuchang, Hubei Province, is said to have been built in the second year of Wu Huangwu in the Three Kingdoms (AD 223). In the long history, the Yellow Crane Tower has gone through vicissitudes of life, been destroyed and rebuilt many times, and has been around the world. It can be verified As many as 30 times. The last time the Yellow Crane Tower was destroyed was in August of the 10th year of Guangxu's reign in the late Qing Dynasty (AD 1884). A fire broke out in a residential house in Dongjiapo outside Hanyang Gate. The strong wind and fire affected the tower and soon reduced this ancient and famous tower to ashes. There are thousands of kilograms of treasures and a copper-covered tripod.

The issue of rebuilding the Yellow Crane Tower was raised as early as the early days of the founding of the People's Republic of China when it was decided to build the Yangtze River Bridge. After decades of repeated research and preparation, the Yellow Crane Tower reconstruction project finally broke ground in July 1981 and was completed at the end of 1984. It was exactly 100 years since the last Yellow Crane Tower was destroyed. It is located on the western slope of Gaoguan Mountain at the western end of Shanxi, opposite the Simenkou District of Wuchang Old Town, and is located in the triangular area between the Beijing-Guangzhou Railway and the branch approach bridge that crosses the Yangtze River Bridge. The new building has 5 floors, 51.4 meters high, and an antique reinforced concrete structure. Although it is further away from the river than the former site of the Yellow Crane Tower, the view of the Yellow Crane Tower is unprecedented and unparalleled due to the tall mountains, majestic momentum and wide field of vision.

The famous building has many legends, which makes it more magical. According to records in "Ji En Lu", the Yellow Crane Tower was originally a hotel opened by the Xin family. In order to thank her for her kindness, a Taoist priest drew a crane on the wall before leaving and told it to come down and dance to cheer her up. From then on, the house was filled with guests and business was booming. Ten years later, the Taoist priest came back and played the flute. The Taoist priest climbed onto the yellow crane and went straight to the sky. In order to commemorate the immortal man who helped her get rich, Mrs. Xin built a tower on the site and named it "Yellow Crane Tower". The above are of course myths and legends. During the Three Kingdoms period, buildings were built on the top of the mountain near the river. First of all, it was for military needs, but later it gradually became a tourist attraction where literati gathered to entertain guests, meet friends, recite poems and enjoy the scenery. Celebrities in the past dynasties such as Cui Hao, Li Bai, Bai Juyi, Jia Dao, Xia Song, Lu You, etc. have visited here successively, recited poems and composed poems. Cui Hao, a poet of the Tang Dynasty, climbed up to the Yellow Crane Tower to enjoy the scenery and wrote a famous poem that has been passed down through the ages: "In the past, people have gone on the Yellow Crane, and the Yellow Crane Tower is empty here. Once the Yellow Crane is gone, it will never return, and the white clouds will remain empty for thousands of years. The sky is clear and clear. Sichuan and Hanyang trees, fragrant grass and parrot islands. Where is the countryside at dusk? The misty waves on the river make people sad." Later, Li Bai also climbed to the Yellow Crane Tower and looked at the Chutian. He was broad-minded and inspired by poetry. When he was about to write a poem, he saw Cui Hao's poem. He felt ashamed and had to say: "I can't see the scenery in front of me, Cui Hao." The poem is mentioned above." Cui Hao proposed the poem and Li Bai penned it, and his fame has flourished ever since.

When the Wuchang Approach Bridge of the Yangtze River Bridge was built in 1957, the old site of the Yellow Crane Tower was occupied. Today, the rebuilt Yellow Crane Tower is on the Sheshan Mountain Ridge about 1 kilometer away from the old site. The ancient Yellow Crane Tower "has three floors, with a total height of 9 feet and 2 feet, plus a copper roof of 7 feet, making it ninety-nine." The new building is much more majestic, with a 5-meter-high gourd-shaped top. , the building has five floors and is 50.4 meters high, nearly 20 meters higher than the ancient building. With its spires and overhanging eaves, it looks like one in all directions. There are also Shengxiang Pagoda, stele gallery, mountain gate and other buildings around the main building. The entire building has a unique national style. The ground floor of the old building is "15 meters wide each", while the ground floor of the new building is 30 meters wide. Therefore, the Yellow Crane Tower is not restored but rebuilt. It retains some features of the ancient building, but is more designed based on current needs and changes in people's aesthetic views. The new Yellow Crane Tower is more spectacular than the old one. This is because the Yangtze River Bridge, which spans the river, is right in front of it, and across the river is the 24-story Qingchuan Hotel. This group of buildings complement each other and add beauty to the river city of Wuhan.

The interior of Yellow Crane Tower has different styles. The ground floor is a tall and spacious hall with a caisson in the middle that is more than 10 meters high. On the front wall is a huge ceramic mural of "White Clouds and Yellow Cranes", and 7-meter-long couplets are hung on the columns on both sides:

The refreshing air comes from the west, and the clouds and mist sweep away the heaven and earth;

The river goes east, and the waves wash away the worries of the past and present.

The architectural feature of the Yellow Crane Tower is that the roofs of various levels are staggered and overlapping, and the corners are raised in the air, as if they are like crane wings spreading their wings. The interior and exterior of the floor are painted with cranes as the main body and cloud patterns, flowers, dragons and phoenixes as background patterns. The front wall of the first floor hall is a huge ceramic mural with the theme of "White Clouds and Yellow Cranes". The surrounding space displays important documents about the Yellow Crane Tower from past dynasties, landscape prints of famous poems, and reproductions of Yellow Crane Tower paintings from past dynasties. On the front wall of the hall on the second floor, there is a marble copy of "The Story of the Yellow Crane Tower" written by Yan Boyin of the Tang Dynasty, which describes the rise and fall of the Yellow Crane Tower and anecdotes of famous people. There are two murals on both sides of the building record. One is "Sun Quan Building the City", which vividly illustrates the history of the Yellow Crane Tower and the construction of Wuchang City; the other is "Zhou Yu hosted a banquet", reflecting the visit of celebrities from the Three Kingdoms to the Yellow Crane Tower. activities. The murals in the hall on the third floor are "embroidered portraits" of celebrities from the Tang and Song Dynasties, such as Cui Hao, Li Bai, Bai Juyi, etc. They also excerpted their famous quotes about the Yellow Crane Tower. The lobby on the fourth floor is divided into several small halls with screens, with built-in calligraphy and paintings of contemporary celebrities for visitors to appreciate and purchase. The top hall has long scrolls and murals such as "Ten Thousand Miles of the Yangtze River". Walking out of the outer corridor of the fifth-floor hall, you can look around and have a wide field of vision. It is nearly 90 meters above the river. The scenery on both sides of the river is vivid and refreshing. The Snake Mountain area where the Yellow Crane Tower is located has been turned into Yellow Crane Tower Park. Many flowers, plants and trees were planted, as well as some archways, pavilions, pavilions, corridors and other buildings. There is a poetry stele gallery, which houses many stones engraved with the works of famous poets from past dynasties. The ancient scenic spots in the Snake Mountain area will be restored one after another. The Yellow Crane Tower will become a symbol of Wuhan, a central city located in the heart of my country.

The four most famous buildings in China: Stork Tower

The Stork Tower was built in the Northern Zhou Dynasty and was destroyed in the early Yuan Dynasty. In order to promote Chinese national culture, on December 0, 1997, the Stork Tower reconstruction project broke ground. The Stork Tower Scenic Area covers a total area of ??1,470 acres, the building courtyard covers an area of ??108 acres, and the main building has a construction area of ??8,362 square meters. The building is imitated in the shape of Tang Dynasty, with a total height of 73.9 meters and a maximum of seven floors. Stork Tower Scenic Area is located in the center of the Yellow River Golden Triangle Economic Cooperation Area where Qin, Shanxi and Henan provinces meet. It is a scenic area integrating sightseeing, leisure vacation, entertainment and catering services.

The entire scenic area is divided into three major areas. The North District, with Stork Tower as the center, forms the Yellow River Cultural Tourist Area. Tourists enter the scenic spot from the north, and its main functions are sightseeing and shopping. It is divided into Guanquelou District and Antique Commercial Pedestrian Street. The central area forms an entertainment and sightseeing area with the water park as the center. The main functions are fishing, boating and recreation. It is divided into water tourist area and fishing area. The southern area forms a leisure and resort area with northern custom houses as the center. The main functions are accommodation, catering, leisure and vacation. It is divided into resort area and botanical garden.

The Stork Tower is located in the "Yellow River Golden Triangle" area where Qin, Shanxi and Henan provinces meet - Yongji City, Shanxi Province.

Stork Tower, also known as Stork and Magpie Tower in ancient times, got its name from the storks and magpies that sometimes roosted on it. Its former location is on the bank of the Yellow River southwest of the ancient Puzhou City in Yongji City. "Puzhou Prefecture Chronicles" records: "(Stork Tower) used to be located in the middle of the Yellow River in the southwest of the county. Storks sometimes lived on it, hence its name." The building was originally owned by General Yu Wenhu of the Northern Zhou Dynasty (557-581 AD) (Xianbei people) The town outside the river is built as a floor. Due to the spectacular building, unique structure, majestic momentum, superior location and beautiful scenery, literati and poets of all ages came to climb the building to watch, sing and express their feelings, and left many immortal chapters of condescending views of the river. Wang Zhihuan, a poet of the Tang Dynasty, was inspired when he climbed a tower and wrote, "The sun is over the mountains, and the Yellow River flows into the sea. If you want to see a thousand miles away, go to a higher level." This eternal song that inspires people to work hard and inspires the rejuvenation of the nation has long been Popular among the people. Shen Kuo, a great scientist in the Northern Song Dynasty, recorded in "Mengxi Bi Tan": "On the third floor of the Stork Tower in Hezhong Mansion, you can look forward to the middle section and look down to the river. There were many poems left by the Tang Dynasty, but only three poems by Li Yi, Wang Zhihuan and Chang Dang are the most powerful. Its view”. For example, Li Yi's "Climbing the Stork Tower": "To the west of the Stork Tower, there are hundreds of feet of rafters, Tingzhou's clouds and trees are vast, the Han family's flutes and drums are empty, and the water is flowing, and the mountains and rivers of Wei are half-set. Thousands of years have passed, but I still regret the speed and worry. One day is long. The wind and smoke make me feel homesick, and I feel hurt when I look far away. "The poet associates the sadness of the short life with the magnificent scenery of mountains and rivers." Another example is Changdang's "Inscription on the Stork Tower": "I stand on the flying birds, and the river flows into the broken mountain. The sky surrounds the plains and is higher than the world." This poem can be said to be an excellent work describing the scenery of Stork Tower. Ma Dai, Sima Zha, Wu Rong and other outstanding poets have left many good verses. But the most famous poem that has been passed down to this day and is well-known to women and children is undoubtedly "Ascend the Stork Tower" by Wang Zhihuan, a talented scholar from Taiyuan. Although this poem only has twenty characters, it uses thousands of giant rafters to depict the majestic momentum and magnificent scenery of the northern country's rivers and mountains, which makes people feel bold and bold. The poet's soul was shocked by nature, and what he realized was a simple but profound philosophy, which can urge people to abandon their self-sufficient knowledge, climb high and look broadly, and constantly explore new and better realms. The first two sentences of this poem describe the natural scenery, but as soon as it is opened, it shrinks thousands of miles away, making it possible to reach thousands of miles away. The last two freehand lines are written unexpectedly, blending philosophy with scenery and situations seamlessly, becoming an immortal swan song on Stork Tower. Therefore, for thousands of years, this poem has not only inspired the Chinese nation to work hard, but also revealed the philosophical truth that only by standing high can we see far. Poetry critics of the Qing Dynasty believed: "Wang's poems are only twenty characters long. The first cross has the general idea, and the last cross has the potential to span thousands of miles."

The stork tower has a high platform with double eaves, black tiles and red couplets. Not only does it account for the beauty of rivers and mountains, but also the beauty of willow trees. As early as the Tang and Song Dynasties, it was known as a climbing resort in Zhongzhou, and its reputation was far and wide. The Stork Tower stands in the Jin Dynasty and looks towards the Qin Dynasty. It is independent of Zhongzhou. It looks forward to the beauty of the Zhongtiao Mountains and looks down to the rushing river. Ziqing passes through the pass and enters the west. The Yellow River touches the Hua and merges to the east. The dragon looms and the tiger looks at it. It overlooks the eight states and the magnificent mountains and rivers. The scene has attracted countless celebrities from past dynasties to come and write poems. The famous buildings in Puzhou, surrounded by mountains and rivers, almost became a stage for poetry competitions by great poets at that time.

The place where the Stork Tower is located is the birthplace of five thousand years of Chinese civilization, where the Yellow River turns back to the sea. Yongji was called Puban in ancient times. Before the Xia, Shang and Zhou dynasties, Emperors Yao and Shun established their capitals here. The civilization here has a long history. The Xihoudu ancient human cultural site 20 kilometers away from Guanque Tower shows the Paleolithic Age 1.8 million years ago, when humans began to use fire and hammered stone tools here. It is said that Fuxi, Nuwa, and Huangdi, the ancestors of the Chinese nation, all left traces of history in this area. The "Xia" in the word "Huaxia" refers to the historical nation of Xia. Its prosperity is symbolized by Yao, Shun and Yu, and the core of its activities is in the Hedong area. According to "Taiyan Wenlu", "Hua" refers to the Huashan area, which is the area on the west bank of the Yellow River. With China in the west and Xia in the east, Guanque Tower is located exactly at the midpoint of China's historical coordinates. This coincidence casts a magical color on the Stork Tower. Thinking about it, we can’t help but admire the spirit of the Chinese nation’s self-improvement that the Stork Tower embodies. The poem was written because of the building, and the building was named after the poem. Tengwang Pavilion is famous because of Wang Bo, Yueyang Tower is immortal because of Fan Zhongyan, Yellow Crane Tower is famous all over the world because of Cui Hao and Li Bai, and Stork Tower is also famous because of Wang Zhihuan.
