Four famous buildings in China: Yellow Crane Tower

Known as one of the three famous buildings in the south of the Yangtze River, it was originally located in Jitou, Yellow Crane Tower, Sheshan, Wuchang, Hubei Province. It is said that it was built in the second year of Wu Huangwu in the Three Kingdoms (AD 223). In the long history, the Yellow Crane Tower has experienced vicissitudes, been destroyed and built repeatedly. The last time the Yellow Crane Tower was destroyed was in August of the 11th year of Guangxu reign in the late Qing Dynasty (AD 1884). Because the houses of Dongjiapo residents outside Hanyang Gate caught fire, the wind and fire were fierce, and the tower was damaged. This historic building was quickly reduced to ashes, and only a few thousand kilograms of treasures were left to build a bronze tripod.

The problem of rebuilding the Yellow Crane Tower was raised as early as the decision to build the Yangtze River Bridge in the early days of the People's Republic of China. 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 happened to be a full thousand years since the last Yellow Crane Tower was destroyed. The reconstructed Yellow Crane Tower is on the western slope of Gaoguan Mountain at the western end of Sheshan Mountain, facing the Simenkou of the old city of Wuchang, and in the triangle between the Beijing-Guangzhou railway crossing the Yangtze River Bridge and the shunt approach bridge. The new building has five floors and a height of 51.4 meters. It has an antique reinforced concrete structure. Although it is farther away from the river than the old site of the Yellow Crane Tower, the Yellow Crane Tower has an unprecedented and unparalleled view because of its towering mountains, majestic momentum and broad vision.

There are many legends about famous buildings, which makes it more magical. According to Ji En Lu, the Yellow Crane Tower was originally a hotel opened by Xin's family. Before leaving, a Taoist priest drew a crane on the wall to thank her for her kindness of a thousand cups, telling it that it could come down and dance for fun. From then on, the guests were full and the business was booming. After 11 years, the Taoist priest came back, Qu Di played, and the Taoist priest climbed the yellow crane and went straight to the sky. In memory of the fairy who helped her get rich, Xin's family built a building in her place and named it "Yellow Crane Tower". The above are of course myths and legends. During the Three Kingdoms period, the building on the top of the mountain near the river was first built for military needs, but later it gradually became a tourist attraction where scholars gathered, entertained guests, made friends, recited poems and enjoyed the scenery. Celebrities of past dynasties, such as Cui Hao, Li Bai, Bai Juyi, Jia Dao, Xia Song, Lu You, etc., have visited here successively, reciting poems and writing poems. Cui Hao, a poet in the Tang Dynasty, boarded the Yellow Crane Tower to enjoy the scenery and wrote a masterpiece that has been handed down for ages: "where long ago a yellow crane bore a sage to heaven, nothing is left now but the Yellow Crane Terrace. The yellow crane never came back, for thousands of years to see the long white clouds. Every tree in Hanyang becomes clear in the water, the fragrant grass is closely related to Parrot Island. But I look toward home, and twilight grows dark, with a mist of grief on the river waves ". Later, Li Bai also boarded the Yellow Crane Tower and looked at Chutian. He was broad-minded and full of poetry. When he was about to start writing a poem, he saw Cui Hao's poem. He was ashamed and had to say, "There is a beautiful scene ahead, and Cui Hao's poem is above it." Cui Hao raised a poem, and Li Bai put pen to paper. Since then, he has gained great fame.

in p>1957, when Wuchang approach bridge of Yangtze River Bridge was built, the former site of Yellow Crane Tower was occupied, and now the reconstructed Yellow Crane Tower is on Sheshanfengling, about 1 km away from the former site. The ancient Yellow Crane Tower "has three floors, with a height of 9 feet and 2 feet, and a copper roof of 7 feet, * * * becomes the number of 99." The new building is much more magnificent, with a 5-meter-high gourd-shaped treasure roof. The building has five floors and is 51.4 meters high, nearly 21 meters higher than Gu Lou. Pyramidal roof, with layers of cornices, looks like one. There are also buildings around the main building, such as victory pagoda, stele gallery and mountain gate. The whole building has a unique national style. The ground floor of Gu Lou is "15m wide", while the ground floor of the new building is 31m wide. Therefore, the Yellow Crane Tower is not a restoration, but a reconstruction. It retains some characteristics of Gu Lou, but it is more designed according to the current needs and the changes of people's aesthetic views. The new Yellow Crane Tower is more spectacular than the old one. This is because the Yangtze River Bridge flying across the river is right in front of it, and across the river is the 24-story Qing Chuan Hotel. This group of buildings complement each other and greatly add color to Jiangcheng Wuhan.

Inside the Yellow Crane Tower, the styles of layers are different. The ground floor is a large and spacious hall, with a caisson in the middle of which is more than 11 meters high. On the front wall, there is a huge ceramic mural of "White Clouds and Yellow Crane", and couplets with a length of 7 meters are hung on the columns on both sides:

It's refreshing to come to the west, and the clouds sweep away the heavens and the earth;

river of no return, waves wash away past and present worries.

The architectural feature of the Yellow Crane Tower is that the roofs of all floors are staggered and overlapped, and the corners are lifted, as if they were crane wings spreading their wings. Inside and outside the floor, cranes are painted as the main body, with moire, flowers and plants and dragons and phoenixes as the foil. The front wall of the first floor hall is a huge ceramic mural with the theme of "White Clouds and Yellow Crane". The surrounding space displays important documents about the Yellow Crane Tower in past dynasties, scenic prints of famous poems, and replicas of paintings of the Yellow Crane Tower in past dynasties. On the front wall of the hall on the second floor, the Yellow Crane Tower written by Yan Bojin in Tang Dynasty is engraved with marble, which describes the rise and fall of the Yellow Crane Tower and anecdotes of celebrities. There are two murals on both sides of Lou Ji, one is "Sun Quan built a city", which vividly illustrates the history of the birth of the Yellow Crane Tower and Wuchang City; The other is "Zhou Yu's Banquet", which reflects the activities of celebrities from the Three Kingdoms to the Yellow Crane Tower. The murals in the lobby on the third floor are "Xiu Xiang paintings" by famous people in the Tang and Song Dynasties, such as Cui Hao, Li Bai and Bai Juyi, and also excerpts from their famous sentences chanting the Yellow Crane Tower. The hall on the fourth floor is divided into several small halls with screens, and contemporary celebrity calligraphy and painting are built in for tourists to enjoy and buy. There are long scrolls and murals such as "Wan Li Map of the Yangtze River" in the top hall. Walking out of the outer corridor of the five-story hall, you can look around and have a wide field of vision. It is nearly 91 meters above the river, and 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 the Yellow Crane Tower Park. Many flowers and trees have been planted, as well as some buildings such as archways, pavilions, corridors and so on. There is a poem tablet gallery, which contains many stones engraved with the works of famous poets in past dynasties, and the ancient scenic spots around Sheshan will be restored one after another. The Yellow Crane Tower will become a symbol of Wuhan, the central city in the heart of our country.

Four famous buildings in China: Yueyang Tower

Yueyang Tower is located in an ancient cultural city with a long history, which was called Baling in ancient times. It is located in the northern part of Hunan Province, where the vast Dongting Lake and the Yangtze River stretching across Wan Li meet, and Yueyang Tower, the first of the three famous buildings in the south of the Yangtze River, is located at the west gate of an ancient city born by the water. Yueyang, with mountains, water and buildings, is picturesque and has many places of interest. The beauty of Yueyang scenery is concentrated in Dongting Lake, while the bell is on the first floor of Yueyang. The scenic spot of Baling, which is centered on Yueyang Tower and Junshan Mountain, is famous far and wide. It is known as "Dongting is the world's water, Yueyang is the world's building" and deserves to be called "Dongting is the world's water, Yueyang is the world's building". Yueyang Tower in Yueyang, Yellow Crane Tower in Wuchang and Knee King Pavilion in Nanchang are collectively called "Three Famous Buildings in Jiangnan". Yueyang Tower stands on the east bank of Dongting Lake, on the wall of the west gate of Yueyang City, with the vast Dongting Lake in the west and the Yangtze River rolling east in the north. The water and the shadows set each other off, and it is known as "Dongting is the world's water, Yueyang is the world's building", which is one of the famous tourist attractions in China.

Yueyang Tower was built around 221 AD, with a history of more than 1,711 years. Its predecessor is said to be the "Yuejun Tower" of Lu Su, a general of Dongwu in the Three Kingdoms Period, and it was called "Baling Tower" in the Western Jin Dynasty and the Southern and Northern Dynasties. It was called "South Tower" in the early Tang Dynasty, and it was called "Yueyang Tower" only after Li Bai wrote poems in the middle Tang Dynasty. Yueyang Tower is 21.5 meters high, with three floors, cornices and pure wood structure. The roof is covered with yellow glazed tiles, and the shape is fantastic. The plaque of "Yueyang Tower" is written by Guo Moruo. Poets in history, such as Du Fu, Han Yu, Liu Yuxi, Bai Juyi, Li Shangyin, etc., came to visit the site and left many masterpieces, which made Yueyang Tower famous all over the world. In 1145 AD, in the spring of the fourth year of Qingli, Teng Zijing rebuilt Yueyang Tower, and invited his good friend and writer Fan Zhongyan to write The Story of Yueyang Tower. Since then, Yueyang Tower has become more famous. The furnishings in Yueyang Tower are unique. Each floor is hung with couplets written by famous artists of all ages. The first and second floors are each embedded with a carved screen of Yueyang Tower, and the carved screen on the first floor is a replica of the 19th century AD. The carved screen embedded on the second floor was written by Zhang Zhao, a great calligrapher in the 18th century. It is a first-class treasure handed down from generation to generation with its square font, vigorous brushwork, changeable techniques and originality. The carved screen on the third floor is Mao Zedong's Du Fu's poem "Climbing Yueyang Tower", which is bold and unrestrained in brushwork and has both form and spirit. The carved screen is dazzling with golden light. In 1988, Yueyang Tower was announced by the State Council as a national key cultural relic protection unit.

Yueyang Tower has experienced many vicissitudes, and it has been destroyed and repaired repeatedly. The Yueyang Tower we see now was rebuilt in the sixth year of Tongzhi in Qing Dynasty (AD 1867). The whole building can be summarized in eight words: four columns, three floors, cornices and pure wood. The main building of Yueyang Tower is 3 stories high, with a height of 1.5 meters, supported by 4 big nanmu in the middle, surrounded by 12 columns, and surrounded by 31 wooden columns, forming a whole. The whole building does not use a nail or a giant beam. 12 cornices with high teeth (like a bird's beak pecking at high altitude). The roof is yellow glazed tile, resplendent and magnificent. The curve is smooth, steep and upturned, just like the helmet of an ancient warrior, called the helmet top. The wishful bucket arch under the helmet is as exquisite as a honeycomb. According to ancient books, Yueyang Tower, an ancient building with "pure wood structure and helmet roof", fully shows the unique style and brilliant achievements of ancient Chinese architectural art.

let's talk about folk stories. Due to its long history and important position, the construction (and repeated destruction and repair) of Yueyang Tower is exquisite, and the humanities of past dynasties are gathered together.

Four famous buildings in China: Tengwang Pavilion

Tengwang Pavilion stands towering on the bank of the Ganjiang River. It is a famous pavilion throughout the ages and enjoys a good reputation at home and abroad, and is known as the "first floor of the Xijiang River".

Tengwang Pavilion was named after Tengwang Li Yuanying was founded. Li Yuanying, the 22nd son of Tang Gaozu Li Yuan, and the younger brother of Li Shimin of Emperor Taizong, was made King Teng in June of the 13th year of Zhenguan (639), and later moved to Hongzhou (Nanchang) as the viceroy. He made no achievements in Nanchang. Only in the fourth year of Tang Yonghui (653) did a tower be built on the bank of the Ganjiang River in the west of the city, which was called "Tengwang Pavilion".

Tengwang Pavilion, together with Yellow Crane Tower, Yueyang Tower and Penglai Pavilion, has been called the four famous buildings in China since ancient times. Tengwang Pavilion was a place where feudal scholars and officials greeted and entertained guests. Zhu Yuanzhang, the founding emperor of the Ming Dynasty, also gave a banquet in the pavilion, ordering ministers and literati to compose poems and watch the lights. Tengwang Pavilion has been built for more than 1,311 years, and it has been renovated 28 times. During the Jingtai period of the Ming Dynasty (1451-1456 AD), the governor ordered Han Yong to rebuild it. Its scale is: three floors, 27 meters high and about 14 meters wide. In 1926, when the warlords were fighting, they were set on fire by the Northern Warlord Deng Ruzhuo. After the founding of the People's Republic of China, the Jiangxi provincial government rebuilt Tengwang Pavilion. Today's Tengwang Pavilion, with nine floors in the basement, is 57.5 meters high and covers an area of 47,111 square meters. It is simple, elegant and spectacular with three floors in the open and seven floors in the dark, plus two floors in the base and nine floors in the open, with green glazed tiles, gilded double eaves, carved screen pavilions and vermicelli columns. The north and south sides of the main pavilion are equipped with two pavilions, "Jiangyang" and "Yicui", which are connected with the main pavilion. In addition to the main pavilion, there are gardens, rockeries, pavilions, lotus ponds and other buildings, which are far superior to the four pavilions in previous dynasties in terms of height and area, and also greatly surpass the Yellow Crane Tower and Yueyang Tower, and still rank first among the three famous buildings in the south of the Yangtze River. Tengwang Pavilion has become Nanchang and an important tourist attraction in Jiangxi Province.

Today, Tengwang Pavilion, as one of the "Three Famous Buildings in the South of the Yangtze River", is more majestic than the buildings built more than 1,311 years ago, which fully shows the momentum of "flying the pavilion and flowing Dan, and there is no land under it"; There are many halls with antique buildings, which are used as performance halls or exhibition halls for ancient music, songs and dances and traditional operas. Looking up the stairs, Nanchang has a panoramic view.

Tengwang Pavilion enjoys a great reputation, which is largely attributed to a well-known essay "Preface to Tengwang Pavilion". Legend has it that at that time, the poet Wang Bo was visiting relatives and passing by Nanchang, just in time to catch up with the rebuilding of Tengwang Pavilion by Yan DuDu, and gave a big banquet to the guests at the pavilion. Wang Bo wrote this farewell preface to Tengwang Pavilion in Autumn (that is, the preface to Tengwang Pavilion) on the spot. After Wang Bo wrote it, Wang Zhongshu wrote it and Wang Xu wrote it, which was called "Three Kings' Article" in history. Since then, preface is famous for its pavilion, and pavilion is famous for its preface.

Tengwang Pavilion stands high in the west of Nanchang, on the bank of Ganjiang River. Stepping into the new pavilion is like being in an art palace with the theme of Tengwang Pavilion. In the main hall on the first floor, there is a large-scale white marble relief "The Time Comes and the Wind Delivers the Tengwang Pavilion", which skillfully integrates the touching legend of Tengwang Pavilion with historical facts. The main hall on the second floor is a 23.91*2.55-meter-long large-scale meticulous and heavy-colored mural "The Picture of People", which depicts 81 leading Jiangxi celebrities from Qin Dynasty to Ming Dynasty. This and the fourth layer of the "Earth Spirit Map", which shows the essence of Jiangxi mountains and rivers, can be called a double gem, which is sighing. The fifth floor is the best place to lean on the railing. Entering the hall, Su Dongpo's masterpiece "Preface to Tengwang Pavilion" was right in front of him. Each floor has a theme, which is also related to the pavilion. The two most famous sentences in the Preface to Tengwang Pavilion are "Sunset and Lonely Qi Fei, Autumn Water * * * The sky is one color!" , which has served as a giant couplet at the main entrance of the main pavilion.

After late autumn, there will be thousands of migratory birds flying in Poyang Lake area, which will constitute a vivid picture of "sunset and lonely Qi Fei, autumn waters * * * and the sky is one color" and become a great scenic spot of Tengwang Pavilion.
