Wang Teng Pavilion is named after Wang Teng Li Yuanying. Li Yuanying, the twenty-second son of Tang Gaozu, Tang Gaozu, and Li Shimin's younger brother, was made King Teng in June of the 13th year of Zhenguan (639), and later moved to Hongzhou (Nanchang) as governor. He made no achievements in Nanchang. It was only four years (653) that Tang Yonghui built a tower on the banks of the Ganjiang River in the west of the city, named "Wang Tengting". Wang Tengting, Yellow Crane Tower, Yueyang Tower and Penglai Pavilion are also known as the four famous buildings in China. Wang Tengge is a place where feudal literati and officials entertain guests. Zhu Yuanzhang, the founding emperor of the Ming Dynasty, also gave a banquet in the pavilion, ordering ministers and scholars to compose poems and lyrics and watch the lights. Wang Tengting was built more than 65,438+0,300 years ago and has undergone 28 renovations. During the Jingtai period of the Ming Dynasty (AD 65,438+0,450-65,438+0,456), the governor ordered Han Yong to rebuild it, with a scale of three floors, 27 meters high and 65,438+0.4 meters wide. 1926 During the warlord melee, it was set on fire by Beiyang warlord Deng Ruzhuo.

Wang Teng Pavilion has become an important tourist attraction in Nanchang and Jiangxi. Today, as one of the "three famous buildings in the south of the Yangtze River", Wang Tengting is more magnificent than the building built more than 1300 years ago, which fully shows the momentum of "flying pavilions and flowing Dan, no land under them"; 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. Climbing the stairs, Nanchang has a panoramic view. Tengwangge enjoys a high reputation, which is largely attributed to a well-known essay "Preface to Tengwangge". According to legend, Wang Bo, a poet at that time, visited relatives and friends and passed by Nanchang, just in time to rebuild Wang Tengting, the governor of Yan, and gave a big banquet in the pavilion. Wang Bo wrote this article "Preface to Wang Tengting's Autumn Farewell" on the spot (namely "Preface to Wang Tengting"). After Wang Bo finished writing, Wang Zhongshu wrote again, and Wang Xu wrote again, which is called "Three Kings" in history. Since then, the order has been named after the pavilion, and the pavilion has been named after the order. Tengwang Pavilion stands in the west of Nanchang, beside the Ganjiang River. Walking into the new exhibition hall is like being in an art hall with the theme of Wang Teng Pavilion. In the main hall on the first floor, there is a large-scale white marble relief, "Time turns, the wind sends Wang Tengting", which skillfully integrates Wang Tengting's touching legend with historical facts. The main hall on the second floor is a 23.90*2.55-meter-long large-scale meticulous mural Portrait of People, which depicts 80 leading celebrities in Jiangxi from Qin Dynasty to Ming Dynasty. This is a double gem with the fourth floor of the "Earth Spirit Map" which shows the essence of Jiangxi mountains and rivers, which makes people sigh. The fifth floor is the best position near the railing. Entering the hall, Su Dongpo's masterpiece "Preface to Wang Tengting" is just around the corner. Each floor has a theme, which is also related to the exhibition hall. The two most famous sentences in Preface to Wang Tengting are "The sunset is lonely in Qi Fei, and the autumn water is * * * the sky is one color!" , which has been used as a giant couplet at the main entrance of the main hall. After the late autumn, there will be thousands of migratory birds flying around in Poyang Lake area, which will form a vivid picture of "Lonely sunset in Qi Fei, autumn waters and one color in the sky" and become a great attraction of Wang Teng Pavilion.
