Wuhan, known as the thoroughfare of nine provinces, is located at the intersection of the Yangtze River and the Han River. Li Bai, a great poet in the Tang Dynasty, is known as "Jiangcheng" because the Jade Emperor plays the Yellow Crane Tower and plum blossoms fall into Jiangcheng in May. Wuhan has four distinct seasons and typical natural scenery of Jianghan Plain. It is also the birthplace of Jingchu culture for thousands of years. With a strong ancient Chu style, it is a famous historical and cultural city in China.

A long history is not the essence of Wuhan's charm.

In addition, the unique layout and geographical location of the "two rivers and three towns" make Wuhan an important military and commercial center since ancient times.

English introduction of Yellow Crane Tower

The Yellow Crane Tower, located in Sheshan, Wuchang, is one of the "Three Famous Buildings in the South of the Yangtze River" (Yueyang Tower in Hunan and Wangteng Tower in Jiangxi).

Legend has it that in Wuchang, a young man named Xin opened a hotel. One day, a Taoist priest painted a crane on the wall of a shop to thank for the free wine, and instructed it to dance as soon as it heard the clapping. Thousands of people come to see this spectacular scene, and the hotel is always crowded with guests. 10 years later, the Taoist revisited the restaurant. He played the flute, and then rode a crane into the sky. To commemorate this immortal encounter and priest, the Xin family built a tower and named it Yellow Crane Tower.

According to records, this tower was built in the Three Kingdoms period (220-280) in 223 AD. When completed, the tower became a gathering place for celebrities and poets to meet and write poems. It is estimated that up to 300 poems about the pagoda were found in historical documents during the Tongzhi period of the Qing Dynasty. Cui Hao, a famous poet in Tang Dynasty (6 18-907), was famous in China for his poem "Yellow Crane Tower".

This tower was destroyed many times in successive dynasties, and then it was rebuilt. Until 100 years ago, it was reduced to ashes for the last time. The present tower is a complete reconstruction, which is the result of four years' work since 198 1 The old tower is only 15 meters wide, and the bottom of the new structure is increased to 20 meters wide. The tower is 5 1.4 meters high, with five floors, yellow tiles and red columns and overlapping ridges and cornices, which is more magnificent than the old tower.

The new Yellow Crane Tower is considered as the symbol of Wuhan.

The Yellow Crane Tower is located at the top of the Snake Mountain in Wuchang. Since ancient times, it has been called "Three Famous Buildings in the South of the Yangtze River" together with Yueyang Tower in Hunan and Wangtengting Pavilion in Jiangxi.

The myths and legends of the Yellow Crane Tower cast a mysterious color on it. It is said that there is often a Taoist priest asking for wine in the hotel that Xin used to open on the head of the Yellow Crane Tower in Sheshan. In order to thank him for his thousand cups, he drew a crane on the wall before leaving and told Xin that he could come down and dance. Since then, the restaurant has been full of guests and business is booming. After ten years, the Taoist priest came back and played with a flute. The Taoist priest set foot on the yellow crane and went straight to the sky. In memory of the immortal who helped him get rich, Xin's family built a building in his place and named it "Yellow Crane Tower". According to legend, this Taoist is Lv Dongbin, one of the Eight Immortals.

The Yellow Crane Tower was built in the Three Kingdoms Period in the second year of Wu (AD 223). Legend has it that it was built for military purposes. Sun Quan built a city to defend himself, and looked forward to "ruling the country by force" (hence the name of Wuchang). By the Tang Dynasty, its military nature had gradually evolved into a famous scenic spot, which was visited by literati of all dynasties, leaving many well-known poems. Cui Hao, a poet in the Tang Dynasty, wrote: "In ancient times, yellow cranes carried saints to heaven, but today there is no 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, the twilight was getting thicker, and the river waves were filled with sad mist. " Becoming a swan song throughout the ages has also made the Yellow Crane Tower famous.

By the first year of Yongtai in the Tang Dynasty (AD 765), the Yellow Crane Tower had reached a certain scale, which made many Jiangxia celebrities "feast". However, wars and fires occur frequently, and the Yellow Crane Tower is repeatedly built and abandoned. The last "Lou Qing" was built in the seventh year of Tongzhi (A.D. 1868) and destroyed in the tenth year of Guangxu (A.D. 1884), and has not been rebuilt for nearly a hundred years.

In June 198 1, 10, the Yellow Crane Tower reconstruction project broke ground. The main building is based on Tongzhi Building in Qing Dynasty, but it is bigger and more magnificent. Using modern building technology, reinforced concrete frame imitates wood structure. There are five cornices, a pointed roof and a golden glazed tile roof, with a height of 5 1.4m, a bottom width of 30m and a top width of 18m. Large murals, couplets and cultural relics are arranged on all floors of the building. Outside the building, a number of ancillary buildings such as bronze yellow crane modeling, statue pagoda, archway, porch and pavilion make the main building more magnificent. Climbing up the stairs overlooking, I watched the long river rolling forward, and the three towns had a panoramic view.

The new Yellow Crane Tower is considered as the symbol of Wuhan.
