translate

The legendary fairy flew over the yellow crane long ago,

There is only the empty Yellow Crane Tower left in this place.

The flying yellow crane will never come back,

Only the long white clouds will last for thousands of years.

The green trees in the Han River (plain) can be counted clearly during the day.

The grass on Nautilus Island grows thick and thick.

It's dusk, but I don't know where my hometown is.

Facing the vast smoke waves on the river, I feel sad.

Detailed analysis of separation and connection

Shoulian

The poet came here with great longing for the Yellow Crane Tower, but the immortal drove the crane without a trace, and the crane left the building empty, in front of him was an ordinary river tower. "Where the yellow crane used to carry saints to heaven, now only the Yellow Crane Tower is left." The gap between the beautiful vision and the ordinary river building has laid a lost background in the poet's heart and laid a potential foreshadowing for the expression of homesickness complex.

"Yellow crane will never come again, and Baiyun will never have him" is a poem. The natural scene where rivers meet the sky is more and more magnificent because of white clouds. Influenced by this scene, the poet's mood gradually brightened, and the feelings in his chest grew wings: the long history and beautiful legend of the Yellow Crane Tower were repeated in front of his eyes, but in the end, things changed and the crane was gone. What can people leave to stand the test of time? She is nothing, she is making the world die, the ocean dry up, the rocks collapse, and giving up her constant nostalgia and nostalgia. This sentence is of universal significance, which expresses the poet's fantasy that the years are hard to come by and the world is at a loss, and also paves the way for writing about the infinite sadness of the difficulty of returning home, thus becoming a famous sentence that is deeply concerned and repeatedly tasted.

The meaning of "yellow crane" in the poem is very clear, except for the entity "crane", its direction should be "everything" Gone forever contains the endless sadness of being born at an untimely time and not waiting for people when they are old. "Baiyun" is unpredictable, which means the author's unpredictable sigh. If the word and "empty leisurely" make people see the vastness of space, then "Millennium" makes people see the infinity of time. The combination of time and space has produced a sense of historical depth and space openness, which has given birth to deep homesickness.

The fifth and sixth lines form a couplet.

"Every tree in Hanyang becomes clear in the water, and Nautilus Island is a nest of sweet grass." Write two sentences describing beautiful dreams and emotional memories, which are very human: the sun is shining high and the blue sky is like washing. In a trance, the tree on the north bank of Hanshui River became a long-lost dear person and stood in front of us. The warm sunshine filled the river and warmed the relatives. Vaguely, Mi Fei, who was beating drums in the grass on Nautilus Island, died in the face of Huang Zu's butcher knife, shedding green grass with blood. It is the selfless dedication of countless wandering wanderers soaked in blood and tears that has built countless unforgettable hometowns.

Tail joint

"but I looked home, and the twilight was getting thicker? There is a sad mist on the river waves. "As the sun sets, night falls, birds return to their nests, ships return home, and wanderers return home. But where is the hometown of vagrants in the world? The river is foggy, and thick fog is born in front of you. It's a faint tear, and it's a broad homesickness that concerns the whole world. When I ask about my hometown, I feel homesick. Faced with this situation, there is no reason for anyone to miss home. The poem ends with a "worry", which accurately expresses the poet's mood of boarding the Yellow Crane Tower at dusk, and at the same time, with the metaphor at the beginning, expresses his lingering homesickness with ups and downs, so as to convey his feelings, convey his feelings internally and echo externally.

works appreciation

This poem is a masterpiece of nostalgia. The poet boarded the historical site Yellow Crane Tower and got a panoramic view of the scenery before him. His poems are full of emotion, blurted out and beyond words. It is both natural and magnificent, full of personality. Poetry is not harmonious, but the syllables are clear and not awkward. It's really one step at a time, and it has become a treasure admired by all previous dynasties. Legend has it that Li Bai boarded this building and witnessed this poem, which impressed him deeply. He said: "There is a scene in front of me, with Cui Hao's poems on it." Yan Canglang also said that the seven-character poems of the Tang Dynasty should be the first. It shows that poetry is precious to nature, even if it is metrical. There are many poems about the Yellow Crane Tower in past dynasties, but Cui Hao's Seven Rhymes are the best. Look at what he wrote: A long time ago, a yellow crane carried a saint to heaven, and now there is nothing but the Yellow Crane Tower. The yellow crane never revisited earth, there have been no long white clouds for thousands of years. Every tree in Hanyang has become clear due to sunlight, and Nautilus Island is covered with sweet grass. But I looked home, and the twilight was getting thicker. The river is shrouded in mist, which brings people deep melancholy.

This poem is written with an open artistic conception, great verve, picturesque scenery and sincere feelings. And simple and vivid, just like spoken English, can't help but be amazing. This poem is not only Cui Hao's masterpiece and handed down from generation to generation, but also laid the foundation for his poetic title. This conclusion is by no means a person's, nor am I insisting on giving Kaifeng people a golden face. Three Hundred Poems of Tang Poetry is an anthology of Tang poetry in later generations, so Cui Hao's poems are listed as the first of the seven laws. This shows the importance of this poem. In the Yuan Dynasty, the new biography of talented people in Tang Dynasty recorded that Li Bai boarded the Yellow Crane Tower to write poems, but when he saw the works, he put his hands together and said, "There is no road ahead, so write poems on it." Some people say that this is not necessarily because it was attached by later generations. But I don't think it's all fake. I have two poems written by Li Bai about the Yellow Crane Tower. One is "Yellow Crane Tower Farewell to Meng Haoran on the way to Yangzhou": "An old friend said goodbye to the West Yellow Crane Tower, and fireworks went down to Yangzhou in March. Lonely sails are far away from the sky. I only saw the Yangtze River flowing in the sky. " The other is "Listening to the Yellow Crane Tower Flute with Shilang Zhong Qin": "One is to move a guest to Changsha and look at Chang 'an in the west without seeing home. The Jade Emperor blows the Yellow Crane Tower, and plum blossoms fall into the river in May. "Although they are all related to the Yellow Crane Tower, they are all entrusted with other purposes, not completely depicting the scenery. At the same time, the first four sentences of his Nautilus Island, "The parrot crossed the Wujiang River eastward, and the name of the parrot spread in Jiangshangzhou. Parrots fly to Longshan in the west, and the trees are similar to Cui Shifa. The same is true of his Poems of Going to Nanjing and Climbing the Phoenix Terrace, all of which have obvious traces of imitating Cui Shi's style. Therefore, it is not Li Bai's words to admit that Cui's poems are excellent, such as "there is no scenery in front of me, and poetry is on it". "Cang Hua" (Yan Yu) said: "The Yellow Crane Tower should be the first of seven-character poems in the Tang Dynasty." Although controversial, for example, Hu Yinglin called Du Fu's ascent the highest of the seven laws in ancient and modern times, it is indeed a pertinent word representing everyone's opinions. In this way, the Yellow Crane Tower in Cui Hao is even more famous.

With rich imagination, readers will be introduced into ancient times and returned to reality. All kinds of feelings and natural scenery blend together, and no one can but feel its sadness and desolation. This poem has always been highly praised by people and is listed as the first of the seven laws in the Tang Dynasty.

Legend has it that Li Bai traveled around the world in his prime, leaving poems everywhere. When he boarded the Yellow Crane Tower, he was fascinated by the beautiful scenery upstairs and downstairs. When he was about to write a poem as a souvenir, he suddenly looked up and saw Cui Hao's poem upstairs:

The meaning of this poem is: all the immortals in the past flew away with the Yellow Crane, leaving only an empty Yellow Crane Tower here. The yellow crane never came back. For thousands of years, it only saw long white clouds. Hanyang trees are clearly visible in the sun, and Parrot Island is covered with a piece of green grass. It is getting late. Looking into the distance, where is my hometown? In front of me, I saw a mist hanging over the river, which brought people deep sorrow.

This poem is full of scenery before writing, and lyrical after writing, which is natural. Even a generation of Li Bai, who is known as the "Poet Fairy", can't help admiring again and again, and thinks it is better to stop writing for a while. To this end, Li Bai also sighed with regret and said: "There is no good scenery in front of me, and Cui Hao wrote a poem on it!"

The Yellow Crane Tower is named after its Yellow Crane Mountain (also known as Snake Mountain) in Wuchang. Legend has it that in ancient times there was a fairy who crossed here by yellow crane (see Zhi); It is also said that Fei went to the immortal to drive a crane (see "Taiping Universe", quoted from "Tu Jing"). Poetry is to think about the origin of the name of a building, from legend to writing, and then grow out. What is the fairy crossing the crane? What is it now? If it is said to be "gone forever", there will be regrets that the years are gone and the ancients are gone; The fairy went to the empty building, leaving only the white clouds in the sky, which lasted for thousands of years and could show the boundless generosity of the world. The poet's strokes describe the feelings that people who boarded the Yellow Crane Tower at that time often felt, with boundless spirit and sincere feelings.

There used to be a saying that "writing is based on qi". The first four sentences of this poem seem to be spoken casually, spinning in one breath and going down the trend without hindrance. The word "Yellow Crane" appears repeatedly, but because of its momentum, readers "wave five strings to see Hong Fei" and read on in a hurry, which is a taboo in metrical poems. The poet seems to have forgotten that he wrote the seven laws of "floating before cutting", and every word has a fixed tone. Try it: the five or six words in the first couplet are the same as "Yellow Crane"; The third sentence is almost all snoring; The fourth sentence ends with a three-level tone such as "empty leisurely"; No matter any confrontation, it is based on the syntax of ancient poetry. Is this because the seven laws were not finalized at that time? No, there are already seven standardized laws, which were written by Cui Hao himself. Is it the poet who deliberately writes disharmonious laws? Not necessarily. He is different from Du Fu's later metrical poems in that he deliberately created his own tune. It seems that I still ignored it. As Lin Daiyu said when she taught people to write poems in A Dream of Red Mansions, "If there are strange sentences, even the truth is wrong." Here, Cui Hao practiced according to the principles of "focusing on intention" and "not hurting meaning with words", which is why he wrote such a rare poem in the Seven Laws. Shen Deqian commented on this poem, thinking that "the meaning is like the first, the implication is between the lines, and he writes with a vertical pen, so he is good at making great achievements through the ages" (Volume 13 of Tang Poetry), which means this.

In the first half of this poem, put things right, and in the second half, I wrote about what I saw and felt in the building, and wrote about the homesickness caused by the grass and trees overlooking Hanyang City and Nautilus Island from upstairs. This is put first and then collected. If you just let nature take its course, don't accept it, don't stick to the rules, and don't return to the meter, then it's not seven tones, but seven ancient ones. This poem seems to be divided into two parts, but in fact, the text is always focused from beginning to end, with only one breath in the middle. This seemingly continuous connection is also the most organized from the perspective of the beginning, inheritance, transformation and combination of rhythmic poetry. When discussing that the second couplet of legal poems should be attached to the first couplet, Yuan Yang wrote several poets and legalists: "This couplet should be broken (the first couplet), like a dragon ball, and should be firmly adhered to." This is the case in the first four sentences of this poem, which tells the legend of a fairy riding a crane. Couplets and puzzles embrace each other and are integrated. Yang Zai also said that the "turn" of the neck couplet: "Avoid the meaning of the former couplet, and change it, such as thunder breaking the mountain, the viewer is amazed." The metaphor of thunder is intended to show that there should be a sudden change in the first five or six sentences, which is unexpected. At the turning point of this poem, the style turns from right to right, and the realm is completely different from that of the former couplet, which just meets this requirement of the law. The sudden death of a native Syrian yellow crane gives people a feeling of unknowability. Suddenly it became a grass tree in Qingchuan, and I can vividly see the scene in front of Manchuria. This contrast can not only dye away the sadness of those who climb the building and overlook, but also make the literature change. It is also in line with the law of poetry to let poetry return to the invisible state at the beginning to cope with the "combination" in front, such as the tail of a leopard.

It is precisely because of its superb art and great success that this poem is regarded as the swan song of the Yellow Crane Tower, which is understandable.

Later, Li Bai went upstairs, also full of poetry. When he found Cui's poems in the building, he repeatedly shouted "wonderful, wonderful!" " According to legend, Li Bai wrote four "doggerel poems" to express his feelings: "Hit the Yellow Crane Tower with one punch, and kick over Parrot Island with one foot. There is a scene in front of him in which Cui Hao wrote a poem. " I stopped writing. Young Ding laughed at Li Bai: "The Yellow Crane Tower is still intact, but it can't be beaten." Li Bai also explained in a poem: "It's really a disaster. It was only because the yellow Crane Immortal cried to the Jade Emperor that the Yellow Crane Tower was rebuilt, and the yellow Crane Immortal returned upstairs. " It's really serious. That's great. Later generations built a pavilion on the east side of the Yellow Crane Tower, named Li Bai's Writing Pavilion, to show his ambition. On the double eaves, it re-entered the Tao and became a place for Yan You. In fact, Li Bai's love for the Yellow Crane Tower is hard to find. He is passionate and even called it "one guest in Qingyun, three guests in Yellow Crane Tower". Mountains and rivers depend on humanities, and the name of Yellow Crane Tower is more prominent.

Brief introduction of the author

Cui Hao was born in Bianzhou (now Kaifeng City, Henan Province) in the Tang Dynasty (about 704 AD? -754) Tang Xuanzong was a scholar in Kaiyuan 1 1 year (AD 723). His work "Yellow Crane Tower" was called "the first of seven laws" by Yan Yu. He has a quick mind and is good at writing poems. He was a poet in the Tang Dynasty. Wen Yuan Biography of Old Tang Dynasty mentioned him with Wang Changling, Gao Shi and Meng Haoran, but his official career was ups and downs. There are not many accounts about him in history, and there are few legends and stories about him in his hometown of Bianzhou. Tang Hao's old biography is so brief that even his literary achievements are not mentioned. What are these for? It is worth thinking about. The works are passionate and magnificent. His works include Cui Haoji.

Cui Hao (AD 704? -754), Bianzhou people. In the eleventh year of Kaiyuan, there were few sources and good scholars. Tianbao is a member of the foreign ministers of Shangshu Sixun. Teenagers are poems, colorful and frivolous; The festival at night suddenly became normal and windy. At first glance, the fortress wall looks like a grand journey, and strange creations often drive rivers and abalones together. After swimming in Wuchang, I boarded the Yellow Crane Tower and wrote poems with emotion. Li Bai came and said, "There is a scene in front of me, and Cui Hao wrote a poem on it." Do nothing, gather hands for philosophers. And those who behave poorly, study well, drink like a dog, and choose beautiful women when they get married will be disgusted if they are not satisfied. Li Yong heard his name and invited him. Li Zhi presented a poem, the first chapter of which said, "Marry Wang Chang at the age of fifteen." Forever scold: "Children are rude! Do not connect. When the illness cleared up, my friend said, "It's not a child's illness, but a bitter poem and a thin ear!" "Therefore, this is a solid excuse. Tianbao died in the thirteenth year. There is a volume of poetry, and this trip. (Yuan Xinwen's Biography of Talented Talents in Tang Dynasty, Volume 1) His poems are famous all over the world, but his deeds are rarely circulated, and there are only 40 existing poems.

Where are the broad eyes? Hang a gourd ladle high in the clouds. [2]

Annotation translation

(1) End of time: Also called the end of time, the end of time is old, which means a long time. There is a sentence in Song and Yang Wanli's poem "Forever Tour Orders Return to Youlong to Watch Fish Cave": "Looking down at the fish cave, you will know right and wrong." That's what it means.

Ukiyo-e sentence: It means that the world has changed dynasties. Here, dust robbery indicates death and prosperity.

③ Palace of the King of Chu: refers to the Zhu Ming Dynasty. Bronze camel: allusions. Suo Jing in the Western Jin Dynasty had the foresight to know that there would be chaos in the world. He pointed to the bronze camel in front of Luoyang Palace and said, "See you among thorns. The Real Immortal in Tang Dynasty: Lv Dongbin. According to legend, he was born in Jingzhao, a famous rock and a county magistrate in the Tang Dynasty, and later became a monk in Zhong Nanshan. Known as one of the Eight Immortals since Yuan and Ming Dynasties. Legend has it that he once boarded the Yellow Crane Tower and played the iron flute on the roof.

Extreme sentence: counting on the distance, the distance is vast, and I don't know where to go. Scoop: a tool used by monks to fetch and hold water when traveling around the country.

The Yellow Crane Tower is one of the three famous buildings in the south of the Yangtze River, located at the northern end of Sheshan Mountain in Wuchang, Wuhan City, Hubei Province. See the Buddhist monk's explanation of the Yellow Crane Tower for details. This seven-character poem is the masterpiece of Gong Xian's poetry. This poem is based on the Yellow Crane and Gu Lou for a thousand years, reading all the vicissitudes of the world, and scouring all the people through the ages through the Yangtze River to show the deep hatred for the country's ruin. Poetry is generous and tragic, vigorous and powerful, and magnificent. Even in the poems chanting for the Yellow Crane Tower in past dynasties, it is a masterpiece. [4]

Thoughts on climbing the Yellow Crane Tower

I remember the Yellow Crane Tower because I like the poems of Cui Hao, a poet in the Tang Dynasty. I know that in the passage of time, poetry has a profound power, a mysterious rhythm, like a pair of faint eyes looking at you, which makes you feel heartbroken. One day not long ago, I walked into the artistic conception of poetry

Cui Hao visited the Yellow Crane Tower and left a poem: "A long time ago, the Yellow Crane carried saints to heaven, but now there is nothing left but the Yellow Crane Tower. The yellow crane never revisited earth, there have been no long white clouds for thousands of years. Jing is a Hanyang tree, while Parrot Island is a nest of herbs. But I looked home, the twilight was getting thicker, and the river waves were filled with sad mist. " Because it is a topic, so many people read it, so that Li Bai balked at reading it. Biography of Talented Persons in Tang Dynasty said: "When Li Bai came, he said,' There is a scene in front of him, and Cui Hao is writing poems on it. "Leave without doing anything." Li Bai, known as a poet, is not arrogant. Seeing Cui Hao's poems on the floor, he couldn't cross them, so he crossed his hands and didn't ask questions. The author not only admires Li Bai's modesty and wise behavior, but also inspires Cui Hao's painful sigh in his poems. I have always believed that the most important thing to remember a person is to remember a mind and an ambition.

The Yellow Crane Tower is located at the western end of Sheshan Mountain, with an altitude of 6 1.7 meters, an area of 1.200 square meters and a building area of over 4,000 square meters, with five floors in total. Seventy-two pillars have risen from the ground, sixty upturned corners are flying in the air, and the five-story cornices and arches are chic and generous. Standing in front of the Yellow Crane Tower, the past and the past suddenly became vivid rhymes in front of my eyes. ...

In 223 AD (the second year of Wu), the war between Wei, Shu and Wu was still fierce. On the Huanghuangji opposite the intersection of the Yangtze River and Hanshui River in Wujiang Gorge, a garrison building for military observation rose from the ground. More than 50 years later, Wu Weijin was destroyed and the garrison lost its military role. With the development of Jiangxia County, it has gradually evolved into a place for people to board boats and entertain because of its dangerous riverbanks and high standards in Li Zhuo. Because of the changes of the times, the Yellow Crane Tower has been relocated several times, and its architectural style has also changed due to the careful construction of skilled craftsmen in previous dynasties. The model of the Yellow Crane Tower in the middle of the building-majestic Song Tower, magnificent Yuan Tower, beautiful Ming Tower and peculiar Qing Tower-undoubtedly helps tourists make up for the shortcomings brought by time and space. Naturally, among the five models, the Yellow Crane Tower is the most brilliant one now, and its spectacular beauty is self-evident. Around the building, there are rows of buildings, scrambling to rise from the ground, which seems to cater to the rising mood of the city. But none of them are higher than her height, and the Yellow Crane Tower still stands out from the crowd, which is the infinite charm of world famous buildings.

At the main entrance of the Yellow Crane Tower. A pair of couplets makes people feel quite unique. This is a couplet written by Liu Haisu, an old topic handed down from Yan Lu. He said: "From the road, the entrance is the door, the strange trees penetrate the clouds, and the poems are out of sight; Climbing the temple building, you can have a panoramic view, and the Nujiang River splits the gorge, which is a strong world in painting. " This pair of couplets is ethereal and magical, with the charm of Taoist bone and fairy wind. Lv Yan, whose name is Dong Bin and whose name is Chunzi, is the Eight Immortals. There is indeed a man in history who won fame and served as a county magistrate. His relationship with the Yellow Crane Tower cannot be verified, but he is a very noticeable figure in the myth about the origin of the Yellow Crane Tower. Legend has it that after he became an immortal, he came to the Yellow Crane Tower many times to try to enlighten people. Sometimes I became an old man selling peaches, and sometimes I became a vendor selling ink, but all I met were "naked eyes" and no one could measure them. So he wrote this couplet, but angrily left and disappeared.

When you climb the Yellow Crane Tower, a feeling of stepping on the Tang and Song Dynasties arises spontaneously. Layer after layer, you will feel that it is a thread-bound book, walking on a poetry street, stepping on Tang poetry and Song poetry every step of the way. You may even feel that a beam from the Tang and Song Dynasties, even farther and farther away, passed through just visiting and lit up the famous Yellow Crane Tower. This is a vision, a light that never tires of learning the past and understanding today's thoughts.

The origin of the name of Yellow Crane Tower

Why is the Yellow Crane Tower named "Yellow Crane"? It is said that the original building was built on Huangguyan, and later generations read "stork" as "crane", which proved the truth by word of mouth. It is a legend of "Xianhuanghe" with magical colors. Its historical development is roughly as follows:

The theory of immortals prevailed in Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, and the myth of Yellow Crane Tower was also formed under the background of novel development with the theme of "Machamp's disorderly gods". The legend of the immortal crossing the crane first appeared in the works of Zu Chongzhi, a scientist in the Southern Dynasties. The "Riding a Crane" in Strange Tales from a Lonely Studio was later collected by Lu Xun in "The Ancient Novel";

"Xun Xuan (as the name implies), the word uncle Wei, filial piety and Taoism, habitat but plain knowledge. Try to travel to the East and rest on the Yellow Crane Tower in Jiangxia. Look at something in the southwest, floating down from the sky, and it will arrive soon. It is also a guest driving a crane. The crane stops at the door, the immortal will sit on the table, the feathers will hang in the rainbow, and the host and guest will be happy. I have resigned, flying cranes pass, and the smoke goes out. "

Later, Xiao Zixian of the Southern Liang Dynasty said in "The Book of the Southern Qi Dynasty under the County": "Xiakou City is handed down by Huang Huangji, and Fairy An is handed down by Yellow Crane." Give the immortal the name of peace. Later, some people said that Zi 'an was surnamed Wang, others claimed that the immortal was surnamed Dou, and others said that Dou 'an was a Jiangxia man with a supernatural nature. After he died and was buried, a yellow crane flew and stopped in the tree in front of his house, shouting the name of "Dou An" frequently. Dou Zian really appeared. He circled the roof and the crane several times, and then drifted west.

During the Tang and Song Dynasties, people gradually linked myths and legends with historical figures. In the Yellow Crane Tower in the Tang Dynasty, Yan Boli recounted that in the music history of the Song Dynasty, The Jade Ring of Taiping, it was said that Fei Yi, the minister of Shu and Han Dynasties in the Three Kingdoms period, was a fairy and drove a yellow crane to rest here, because he thought it was famous. Yan Boli's Yellow Crane Tower;

In the southwest corner of the city, there is the Yellow Crane Tower. According to the "Atlas", "Fei Yi ascended the immortal, and wanted to drive the Yellow Crane back here, so it was called the famous tower." The things listed in The Legend of the Immortal trace back to the ambition of "explaining differences". Look at its towering structure, high standard, leaning down the river; Double eaves wing pavilion, four rosy clouds; Peek at Jing Yi and shoot clouds: Jing Hewu is the best. Why are Lai Xiang's Nine Columns and Dongyang's Eight Chants able to enjoy the time and things, and gather spirits and gather immortals?

Taiping universe:

"The Yellow Crane Tower is in the west of the county seat: 280 steps. Once upon a time, Fei Yi was immortal, and every time he took a yellow crane to rest here, it was named Yellow Crane Tower. "

Fei Yi in Yi Shu Ji is Wen Wei, Xun Xuan is Shu Wei, and both of them are Jiangxia people, which is probably the reason why later generations confuse them.

After the Tang and Song Dynasties, people pointed their finger at Lv Dongbin, one of the Eight Immortals. According to the Chu people in the early Qing Dynasty, Selected Works of Jian, volume 8, four years:

"According to legend, in the Tang Dynasty, Lv Chunyang tasted the land of the guest, hated eating out, and drank several pots a day, tired to hundreds; If it's not worth it, ask for another cup, and the owner will have endless colors. Chunyang likes it. Suitable for spitting watermelon, so I drew a crane on the wall with melon skin. At first, the melon skin was green, but it turned yellow after a long time, so it became a yellow crane. Chunyang also teaches restaurant boys to sing sermons and knock on the board for festivals. When singing, cranes fly down from the wall and dance. There are thousands of people watching and drinking. After studying for a few months, the restaurant took millions and made a fortune at once. Reward pure yang with money, and pure yang will not be affected. Therefore, this building was named Yellow Crane Tower. "

In addition, similar to the above story, it is the theory of retribution recorded in Jiangxia County Records. According to it, the city drinker is Xin's, the drinker is Taoist, the crane paints orange peel, and the building is Xin's building. This is the most widely known myth:

The original text is: "Xin used to sell wine as a business. Here comes a gentleman, tall and ragged, calmly calling Xin's words:

Can you drink? Xin didn't dare to quit and drank a big glass. When I was half a year old, the Xin family enjoyed it. One day, Mr. Xin called him and said that he owed wine and he couldn't pay you. So he took a small basket of orange peels and drew a crane on the wall. It was yellow. The sitter clapped his hands and blew, and the yellow crane danced with the law. Everyone paid money to see it. 10 years later, when the Xin family was exhausted, Mr. Hou came to the table. Xin thanked him and said that he was willing to provide him with the best. Mr. Wang said with a smile, "Why did I suddenly take a flute and play a few tricks for it?" After a while, white clouds fell from the sky and painted cranes. The king rode over the crane and built a building in Xin's house, named Yellow Crane. "

The main idea of this myth is that there was once a man named Xin who made a living by selling wine. One day, a tall, ragged guest came and asked Xin calmly, "Can I have a drink?" Xin didn't neglect each other's rags, and quickly filled a large glass of wine. After half a year, Xin didn't show boredom because the guests couldn't afford the drinks, and still invited the guests to drink every day. One day, the guest told Xin's family, "I owe you a lot of money for drinks, and I can't afford it." So I took out the orange peel from the basket and drew a crane on the wall. Because the orange peel is yellow, the painted crane is yellow. As long as the people in the seat clap their hands and sing, the yellow crane on the wall will dance and beat with the song, and the guests in the hotel will pay for this wonderful thing. After more than ten years, Xin has accumulated a lot of wealth. One day, the ragged guest drifted to the hotel again, and Xin came forward to thank him and said, I am willing to support you and meet all your needs. The guest replied with a smile, where did I get this? Then he took out his flute and played some songs. Soon, I saw white clouds falling from the sky. The yellow crane followed Bai Yunfei to the guest, who climbed the yellow crane's back and went to heaven in Bai Yunfei. In order to thank and commemorate this guest, Xin built a pavilion on Huangqiyan with the money he earned in the past ten years. At first, people called it "Xin's Building". Later it was called "Yellow Crane Tower".

There is another version of the fairy tale about the Yellow Crane Tower. According to legend, a fairy became a human being and drank in the Yellow Crane Tower. Unexpectedly, there was not much money in the fairy bag, and the shopkeeper did not delve into it. The fairy thanked the shopkeeper for his generosity and drew a crane on the wall. And tell the shopkeeper that in order to repay the shopkeeper for leaving a yellow crane, you only need to clap your hands four times and the yellow crane can dance in the air for everyone's entertainment, but you must remember that the yellow crane only dances for everyone. With that, the fairy left. The shopkeeper tried it according to the method left by the immortal, and sure enough, the yellow crane danced Everyone appreciates it. When a big official heard the news, he hired the whole place and ordered the store to let the yellow crane dance. Helpless, the shopkeeper clapped four hands, and the yellow crane emerged from the wall and danced with heavy steps. Then when the golden light flashed, the store saw the fairy come back. The fairy said, "The yellow crane can't dance just for its own happiness." Say that finish, sit cloud to leave, yellow crane followed.
