Yellow crane tower:

I am XXX, the tour guide, and I would like to extend a warm welcome to all of you. I will provide you with the tour guide explanation service in the following time, and I will try my best to arrange your itinerary to make you feel happy in this trip.

Ok, please follow me to visit the Yellow Crane Tower, the most distinctive scenic spot in Wuhan.

The Yellow Crane Tower was built in the second year of the Three Kingdoms, namely in 223 AD. It has a history of 1700 years, during which it has been built and destroyed repeatedly. The present Yellow Crane Tower was rebuilt in 198 1 on the basis of the Yellow Crane Tower in Qing Dynasty, and was completed in 85.

Now the tall and majestic building in front of you is the Yellow Crane Tower, which is world-famous for its unique scenery and enjoys a good reputation at home and abroad. It is as famous as Wangteng Pavilion in Jiangxi and Yueyang Tower in Hunan, and is also called "Three Pavilions in the South of the Yangtze River". There is an anecdote about the Yellow Crane Tower. It is said that guests from Hubei and Sichuan meet and talk to each other on the river, competing to praise their hometown. The Sichuan guest said, "There is an Emei Mountain in Sichuan, which is only three feet away from the sky." Hubei guest laughed: "There is a Yellow Crane Tower in Hubei, half of which is inserted in the clouds." The guests in Sichuan are speechless. Of course, this story is a bit exaggerated, but the Yellow Crane Tower does attract Chinese and foreign tourists with its magnificent landscape, touching legends and rich cultural atmosphere.

Well, having said that, let's go and have a look inside the Yellow Crane Tower.

Walking into the hall, the most striking thing is the white clouds and yellow cranes, which is based on the myth of riding cranes to ascend immortals in ancient times, and also takes the meaning of "Yellow cranes carried saints to heaven in ancient times" in Tang poetry. Please look at the fairy on the screen. He talked about the Jade Emperor and looked down on the world, seemingly reluctant to part. The people in the Yellow Crane Tower below are either chanting poems or drinking and dancing, which is of great significance to wishing the immortal Yellow Crane an early return to the world. In fact, there is a legend behind this mural, which casts a mysterious color on the Yellow Crane Tower. In ancient times, there was a man named Xin who lived at the top of the Yellow Crane Mountain and made a living by selling wine. One day, an old man in rags staggered in and offered him a drink. Although Xin is humble, he is loyal, kind and charitable. Seeing that the old man was poor, he agreed generously. After that, the old man came every day and was responsive, so it took more than a year. One day, the old man suddenly came to say goodbye and said, "I don't pay for drinking every day, just borrow a yellow crane to show my gratitude." After that, he picked up an orange peel on the ground and drew a yellow crane on the wall. He said to Xin, "As long as you clap your hands, the yellow crane will come down and dance to entertain the drinkers." After that, the old road disappeared. Xin clapped her hands and tried, and the yellow crane really jumped down and danced. After the news spread, it attracted tourists from far and near to drink, and the hotel business was booming, so Xin made a fortune. Ten years later, Lao Dao suddenly appeared in the hotel and said to Xin Shi, "Is the money earned in ten years enough to pay off my wine debt?" Xinmei was busy thanking him. Lao Dao took off his iron flute and played a beautiful tune on the yellow crane on the wall. The Yellow Crane heard the sound and flew away with Lao Dao.

As a result, the scene on the mural appeared. (In addition to this mural, this couplet is known as one of the two wonders of the Yellow Crane Tower: the western heaven is refreshing, and the floating clouds sweep away human regrets; A river gone forever, the waves washed away the troubles of the past and present. It means that the fresh and pleasant air comes from the west, which dispels the fog accumulated in the clouds and sweeps away the regrettable things between heaven and earth; The surging Yangtze River flows eastward, washing away all the troubles from ancient times to the present. )

Ok, let's invite everyone to go upstairs with me.

This is the Happy Valley Gallery on the first and a half floors. Now you may have noticed that the Yellow Crane Tower has five floors on the outside, but it is not like this inside. It actually has nine floors. This is because in ancient China, the singular number was called Yang number, and "9" was the first Yang number, which was homophonic with the enduring Chinese character "Jiu", meaning everlasting. In this racecourse, some famous calligraphy and paintings are mainly displayed for everyone to watch.

Dear friends, when we come to the second floor of the Yellow Crane Tower, we can see the history of the Yellow Crane Tower. First of all, please look at this mural named Sun Quan's Building a City, which reproduces the historical background when the Yellow Crane Tower was built. After Battle of Red Cliffs, Liu Bei borrowed Jingzhou to take Sichuan, which made him strong, but he refused to return Jingzhou. Monroe, the general of Soochow, killed Guan Yu with a trick. Shortly after Jingzhou was recovered, Liu Bei led hundreds of thousands of troops to attack Wu. Sun Quan knew that war was inevitable, so he made peace with Wei and concentrated on dealing with Liu Bei. In order to direct the war nearby, Sun Quan built Xiakou City on the edge of the Yangtze River according to the danger of the Yellow Crane Mountain, and built a building on the Yellow Crane Tower at the head of the city for observation. This is the original Yellow Crane Tower.

Let's look at the Yellow Crane Tower in the middle. As for the three famous buildings, the Yellow Crane Tower ranks first. As for the story of the building, the one with the least name belongs to the story of the Yellow Crane Tower. The article we are seeing now is selected from buildings with more than ten floors. It focuses on writing real scenes. The whole article is less than 300 words, but it clearly describes the geographical location, architectural forms, legends and people's activities on the Yellow Crane Tower.

In addition, there are six models of the Yellow Crane Tower in the past dynasties, which also reflect the vicissitudes of history from one side. Our present Yellow Crane Tower was redesigned and built on the basis of Tongzhi Building in Qing Dynasty.

Please come up to the third floor with me again.

The third layer shows the cultural origin of the Yellow Crane Tower. This group of "literati gathering" board paintings reproduces the scene of literati coming to the Yellow Crane Tower to recite poems and compose fu. In the middle of the mural, you can see the poet in red. This is Cui Hao. Although he is very talented, his official career is quite unsatisfactory because of the influence of treacherous court officials. This untalented mentality gave him the idea of learning to be immortal. The poem "Yellow Crane Tower" is the expression of this mood.

At present, there are more than 1700 poems about Yellow Crane Tower. However, due to the limited space, only the poems of eleven famous poets are selected here.

On the fourth floor of the Yellow Crane Tower, you can see that this is the cultural activity place of the Yellow Crane Tower, which is dedicated to displaying improvisational works left by contemporary painters and painters visiting the Yellow Crane Tower. In the middle is Mr. Li Keran's landscape painting, on the right is Mr. Li Kuchan's posthumous work, and on the left is Mr. Wu Zuoren's "Qian Xiangli" specially made for the Yellow Crane Tower. In addition, there is a Four Treasures of the Study for tourists to improvise. You can also try it if you are interested. Maybe your work will be exhibited here in the future. )

Ok, friends, next we are going to climb the top floor of the Yellow Crane Tower to see if you will feel different there. )。

Shown in the hall is a group of paintings called "Jiangtian Marriott", which covers an area of 99 square meters and is the largest in the whole building. It consists of ten golden and thick color paintings, which show the natural landscape of the Yangtze River and the origin of civilization history.

Looking from here, the three towns in Wuhan have a panoramic view, overlooking or overlooking, and the beautiful scenery is pleasing to the eye. The Yellow Crane Tower is located on the top of the snake. Because this series of hills stretches from east to west, it looks like a long snake, commonly known as snake mountain. On the other side of the river is Kameyama Mountain in Hanyang. Due to the dislocation of strata and the impact of great rivers, Guishan and Sheshan face each other across the river. The Yangtze River Bridge connects the mountain systems on both sides of the river. In this way, the vast mountains stretching from east to west and the vast Yangtze River spanning from north to south draw a huge cross on the land of Wuhan, and the Yellow Crane Tower is next to this intersection.

Looking east is another scene, with rolling mountains and dotted lakes. To the east of Snake Mountain where the Yellow Crane Tower is located are Shuangfeng Mountain and Hongshan Mountain. These two mountains are religious sites in Wuhan, and there are several famous Taoist temples and temples in the middle. Further east, there are the famous East Lake Scenic Area and Wuhan Cultural Education Zone, where some famous universities and colleges are concentrated.

Ok, friends, I'll introduce the Yellow Crane Tower to you here. I hope my explanation can leave a little impression on you. If it is not detailed, please give me more advice.

Mulan Mountain:

Located 30 kilometers north of huangpi district, 58 kilometers away from the urban area, with the highest elevation of 582 meters and an area of 78 square kilometers, it is one of the peaks at the southern foot of Dabie Mountain. Because there are many magnolia trees in the mountain, it is named Mulan Mountain.

Mulan Mountain is also the birthplace of the legendary ancient heroine Mulan and the legend of "General Mulan", which makes this mountain mysterious. There is a monument to Mulan General Cemetery on the mountain. Mulan Mountain is praised by tourists for its steep mountains, numerous peaks, misty clouds and towering ancient trees. It is also a pilgrimage site for Buddhism and Taoism in past dynasties. The mountains are rugged, with rugged rocks, pines and cypresses, misty clouds and beautiful and unique natural scenery. In addition to the majestic natural landscape, rural characteristics also have their own characteristics. Its main buildings are Jade Emperor Pavilion, Jinding and Qisi Pavilion. There are five fast doors: Chaotianmen, Nantianmen, Yitianmen, Ertianmen and Santianmen. There are 32 halls, including Xuanwu Hall, Niangniang Hall, Mulan Hall, Chaotian Palace and Emperor Hall. Most of the buildings on the mountain are built by "Mulan dry masonry method", and slabs are pressed between the large and small floors without mud, forming a unique architectural style, which embodies the outstanding wisdom of the ancient people in China. Zhu, a poet in the Ming Dynasty, wrote a poem named Mulan Mountain: "There is a mountain in front of Mulan, and the name of the mountain is supplemented by Mulan. Mulan and the mountain are both famous, and the mountain and Mulan compete for the ages. " Tu Da, a poet in the Ming Dynasty, once said: "The beautiful flowers in Xiling are beautiful, covering the extreme views of the three Chu Dynasties." As a scenic spot on the outskirts of Wuhan, Mulan Mountain has gradually built four communities, namely, ancient village, stone scene, garden and summer resort, according to its landform and environmental characteristics, and welcomes domestic guests to visit with the charming scenery of "beautiful spring, beautiful summer, rich autumn and magnificent winter".

Mulan Mountain:

"The mountain is not high, and there is a fairy name; The water is not deep, and the dragon has spirit. "

Located on the east bank of the crane, 30 kilometers away from Wuhan Huangpi, there is a beautiful Mulan Mountain, formerly known as Jianming Mountain and Qingshiling. Legend has it that Mulan, the heroine whose father joined the army in the 1970 s, once lived at the foot of the mountain. 1609, a temple was built on the mountain to commemorate it, and the mountain was renamed Mulan Mountain.

Ancient buildings are distributed in General Cemetery, Dongquan 'an, Crystal Palace and Guzhai, among which Guzhai is the largest.

The ancient village is surrounded by two main peaks and is five kilometers long. The wall of the village is made of stone (bluestone) on the spot and is about four meters high. The buildings in the village are uniform, without mortar jointing, and have not collapsed after hundreds of years of wind and rain, which is unique.

Mulan Mountain has been built into a scenic spot. There are three main hilltop buildings: Jade Emperor Pavilion, Jinding and Qisiding. There are five fast doors: Chaotianmen, Nantianmen, Yitianmen, Ertianmen and Santianmen. There are 32 halls, including Xuanwu Hall, Niangniang Hall, Mulan Hall, Chaotian Palace and Emperor's Main Hall.

Zhu, a poet in the Ming Dynasty, wrote a poem named Mulan Mountain: "There is a mountain in front of Mulan, and the name of the mountain is supplemented by Mulan. Mulan and the mountain are both famous, and the mountain and Mulan compete for the ages. " Tu Da, a poet in the Ming Dynasty, once said, "Mulan in Xiling is the ultimate view of the three Chu."

According to county records, in ancient times, there lived a thousand families named yi zhu in Shuanglong Town in the north of the mountain. Because he has lived half his life, but has no descendants, he often goes to Mulan Mountain to seek heirs. Later, he gave birth to a daughter named Mulan, and the blessed heir on Mulan Mountain is said to be the place where Mulan's father wanted his son. Mulan Pavilion was built in Tang Dynasty and rebuilt in Ming Dynasty. The three big statues in the hall represent the three stages of Mulan.

Mulan Mountain is rugged, foggy, charming, misty and secluded. It is the best place for literati to climb the mountain, leaving many well-known poems!

I love this beautiful Mulan Mountain!

Provincial museums:

Hubei Provincial Museum is the collection, research and exhibition center of historical and revolutionary cultural relics in Hubei Province. * * * has a collection of about 700,000 cultural relics, including the chime of Ceng Houyi and the sword of Gou Jian, the King of Yue, which has attracted worldwide attention. Of course, among these cultural relics, in terms of the significance and value of their excavation, I am afraid that the unearthed cultural relics on display at present should be promoted first.

The so-called Zeng is the country of Zeng, Hou is the king of the vassal state, and B is its name. Together, it is the tomb of Zeng Guo. During this period, not only the chimes of Ceng Houyi, praised as the eighth wonder of the world by Mei, the world's first violinist, were unearthed, but also lacquered coffins, lacquerware, exquisite bronzes, various weapons, chariots and horses, musical instruments, jade articles, gold and many daily necessities with high aesthetic value were unearthed. In the ancient history of China, the number and variety of cultural relics unearthed at one time are rare in China. Numerous unearthed cultural relics reflect all aspects of society, from burial system to sacrifice, religious etiquette, war, science and technology, and daily life. It actually reflected the culture at that time. Therefore, we went to the Hubei Provincial Museum, not only to visit a few unearthed cultural relics, but also to recall the ancient culture of China. So, what kind of culture does the tomb of Zeng Houyi reflect? Here, we have to mention the ancient regional culture of China.

As we all know, China is one of the four ancient civilizations in the world, and the Yangtze River is the second cradle of the Chinese nation. It gave birth to Bashu culture, Chu culture and Wu Yue culture in the Yangtze River valley. Among the three regional cultures, Chu culture is the most important. At that time, Chu culture was only the last stream of Central Plains culture and the remnants of Chu culture, with few characteristics and low level, which was almost commendable. It didn't develop until the middle of the Spring and Autumn Period. We know that the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period is a period of great changes, great turmoil and great changes in the history of our country. Not only a hundred schools of thought contend, but also wars are frequent, warlords are divided and princes compete for hegemony. It was at this time that Chu continued to expand. At the same time, Chu culture has gradually formed a regional culture with its own characteristics, which is different from Zhou Culture in the Central Plains.

Now, let's go back to the tombs of Ceng Houyi and Zeng Guo. The tomb of Zeng Houyi was excavated in Suizhou, Hubei Province, about165km away from Wuhan. Judging from the cultural relics unearthed from the tomb of Zeng Houyi, it follows a set of things from Zhou Dynasty in terms of etiquette, but it embodies strong Chu cultural characteristics in many artifacts, some of which are the synthesis of Zhou and Chu cultural and artistic characteristics. Therefore, it is difficult to simply attribute the tomb of Zeng Houyi to Chu culture or Zhou culture. Academic circles generally call it the tomb of Zeng Houyi, not the tomb of Zhou or Chu. Someone simply put forward the concept of Zeng culture. Since the tomb of Zeng Houyi belongs to neither Zhou nor Chu, but also has the characteristics of both, can it be said that it reflects the mainstream of ancient China culture-Zhou Culture in the Central Plains and Chu Culture in the South? From this point of view, the significance of the excavation of the tomb of Zeng Houyi is no less than or even more than that of the mausoleum of the First Qin Emperor. Is that so? As the saying goes, "seeing is believing, hearing is not", so let's go in and have a look.

More than 10,000 cultural relics have been unearthed from the tomb of Zeng Houyi, many of which are unprecedented treasures. It is a major discovery in the history of archaeology in China, with far-reaching historical significance and academic research value, and it is relatively large in contemporary tombs.

Now, please look at the Guo room model, which is made according to the ratio of 1: 10. Among them, the whole tomb is divided into three halls: military room, ceremony room and music room. Please visit with me next.

As I said before, it is impossible to exhibit all the 10,000 cultural relics unearthed from the tomb of Zeng Houyi in a limited space. The following is the most representative part. Look, this staghorn crane is a masterpiece of plastic arts and casting technology in this ancient tomb. It consists of antlers, crane bodies and bird wings. Of course, this kind of animal doesn't exist in nature, it's just an imagination. In addition, it is worth mentioning that his casting technology is also exquisite, which reflects that bronze casting at that time has reached a certain level.

In the ritual exhibition hall, * * * exhibited 38 kinds of ritual vessels 134 pieces, which is the largest number of bronzes unearthed in China over the years. You can enjoy them slowly and enjoy our ancient culture in the rest of the time.

Now, please come upstairs with me to continue our visit.

On display here are weapons unearthed from the tomb of Zeng Houyi. There were frequent wars in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, so many novel combat weapons stood out. The quantity and quality of the weapons unearthed in this tomb reflect the great changes in society and technological innovation at that time. After reading the weapons section, can you outline the general outline of ancient wars and imagine the types of weapons they used?

What you will see now is the world-famous bell chime of Zeng Houyi, which originated from the primitive society of our country. The most prominent chime in the music hall is the chime. The huge clock stand is made of copper and wood, and the total weight of the whole set of chimes is 2500 kg. Up to now, it still retains a beautiful and charming timbre, with a deep bass, a powerful alto and a crisp and loud treble. The casting of a complete set of chimes is very complicated, which requires design, molding and alloying.

This set of chimes is beautifully sculpted, exquisitely cast, well-preserved, well-equipped, with a wide range, beautiful timbre and accurate audio. It is a fine product of ancient China.

Now, with the joint efforts of archaeologists, all the musical instruments of Zeng Houyi's tomb have been copied. In the face of these ancient masterpieces, it is really amazing, and it is probably not an exaggeration to call them "the eighth wonder of the world".

The chime of Zeng Houyi is the most dazzling national treasure among the cultural relics unearthed from Zeng Houyi's tomb.

The tomb of Zeng Houyi is the tomb of a vassal monarch in the early Warring States period, which has been more than 2,400 years. It is located in Leigudun in the northwest of Suizhou, about 3 kilometers away from the city center.

Eight musical instruments *** 125 pieces, such as chimes and chimes (Yin qìng), were unearthed in the tomb of Zeng Houyi, with a complete range and a large number, beautifully made and well preserved, many of which were newly discovered and only found in the world archaeological history. Among them, 1 15 pieces came from the Central Room and were used to play the ritual music of the ancestral hall; In addition, the 10 block belongs to the east room, which is used to put the music in the room (bedroom music).

In the Zhou dynasty, the system of rites and music was the fundamental event of the country and had the supreme status. Ding system and hanging system (that is, music hanging system) are the basis of the ritual and music system. The so-called suspension system is the regulation of arranging clocks and watches. It is said that the bells of the king are hung on all sides, and the bells of the princes and doctors are hung on three sides, two sides and one side in turn. The bells of the tomb of Zeng Houyi are hung on three sides, which belongs to the vassal hanging system and conforms to the provisions of Zhou Li.

The chime is a percussion instrument with fixed pitch, which is cast in bronze. The clock body is like two tiles locked together. For a tile-shaped clock, tapping the front and side of its drum can make a sound, which is called a "two-tone clock". This kind of clock is called the "two-tone clock", which is a great invention of the clock makers in China before Qin Dynasty.

Ceng Houyi's chime is a model of two-tone clock. It consists of 65 different batches of chimes, which are hung on a square copper and wooden clock frame in three layers and eight groups. Both are two-tone clocks. The full set of chimes spans five and a half octaves, with twelve tones, and can rotate in the palace. Surprisingly, there are 3755 words engraved on the bell, bell stand and hook of Zeng Houyi's chime, including number, record and phonetic notation, which record the music theory of fame, rank name, octave group and the corresponding relationship of legal names in various countries, and it is wrong. According to scholars' research, its basic sound level is consistent with that of modern piano.

What needs to be pointed out in particular is that the clock in the middle of the lower floor of the clock rack did not belong to this set of clocks. This is one of a set of clocks given to Ceng Houyi by Zhang Xiong, King of Chu, in the fifty-sixth year of his reign, that is, in 433 BC.

Chu is a national name as well as a national name. Chu people think that Zhuan Xu Di Levin is their ancestor, Lao Tong and Zhu Rong are distant ancestors, and Gou is the ancestor. In the early years of the Western Zhou Dynasty, Xiong Yi was the monarch of the State of Chu. In 223 BC, the State of Chu was destroyed by the State of Qin, and it was founded about 800 years ago.

In the past 800 years, Chu people have created a profound Chu culture with the spirit of enterprising and the creative consciousness of seeking novelty and difference. Chu cultural relics are the material carrier of Chu culture, and the Chu Culture Exhibition strives to fully display the material culture and spiritual culture of Chu people through the cultural relics unearthed in Chu.

Since Xiong Yi, Chu has been "based on Jingshan Mountain, paving Qingguang Road, and opening mountains and forests". Through hard work, the social economy has developed. During the Spring and Autumn Period, Chu Zhuangwang made great achievements, leaving a legacy of "three years without fame and soaring". If you don't sing for three years, the song will be amazing. During the Warring States Period, Chu became the vassal state with the largest number of countries destroyed and the widest territorial expansion among the seven heroes. The discovery of the sword of Gou Jian, the king of Yue, and the spear of Fu Cha, the king of Wu, in the tomb of Chu, is the best witness of history.

Chu bronzes are an important part of China bronze civilization, which originated from the Central Plains culture and has strong local characteristics. Chu has copper mines such as Tonglushan in Daye, and its mining, dressing and smelting have reached a fairly high level.

Exquisite and gorgeous Chu lacquerware is one of the most distinctive features of Chu culture, which shows the unique charm of Chu culture with its wonderful shape, complicated patterns, rich colors and profound spiritual connotation. The higher groundwater level in the south makes them well preserved.

China is the first country in the world to raise silkworms and spin silk products. Archaeological findings confirmed that during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, the silk weaving technology of Chu reached a fairly high level. There are many kinds of silk embroidery in Chu State, with exquisite patterns and bright colors. The patterns are mainly rare birds and animals, and the images of dragons and phoenixes are the most abundant, graceful and graceful, magnificent and mysterious.

Chu people attach importance to water conservancy construction. Located in today's Gushi County, Henan Province, the Qixi Monument is the first large-scale water conservancy project in the history of China. Shao (Qu) Pi, located in Shou County, Anhui Province, was the most magnificent water conservancy project at that time. Chu is a land of fish and rice, with lakes and mountains. There is no difference between agriculture and commerce in Chu State. Chu has smooth commodity circulation channels and currency system, and Du Ying, the capital, was the largest commercial city in southern China at that time.

Chu is in the middle of the rope. It is a place where four cultures converge, and its customs are harmonious but different from those of the Central Plains countries. Chu people worship witches and believe in ghosts, and often encourage friends to please the gods with songs and music. Colorful phoenix, bird, dragon and snake constitute the decorative theme of Chu utensils.

In the pre-Qin period, the chariot was the most important military equipment, and it was also one of the symbols to measure the strength of military strength. During the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, Chu State was listed as the "Five Overlords in the Spring and Autumn Period" and "Seven Heroes in the Warring States Period", that is to say, it had the military strength of "one million armor and ten thousand chariots".

Chu reached the peak of spiritual civilization in the pre-Qin period in philosophy, literature and art. Philosophy, represented by Laozi and Zhuangzi's philosophy, is an important spiritual connotation in constructing China culture. Chu literature, represented by Qu Yuan's poems and Zhuang Liao's prose, is the source of China's literary romanticism. The extraordinary imagination and creativity of Chu people have made brilliant achievements in many artistic categories, especially in music, dance, painting and sculpture.
