The characters in the Golden Book, especially the protagonists, may be highly skilled in martial arts, benevolent and chivalrous, or be romantic and unrestrained, but there are very few people with both civil and military skills. Probably because no one is perfect. Here are a few people who are capable of both civil and military affairs.
The following characters are ranked according to my preference:
1. Duan Yu. The prince of Dali loved reading from the beginning and was very knowledgeable. Later, by chance, he learned the Six Meridians Divine Sword and Lingbo Weibu. He was truly "unique in the world".
2. Zhang Cuishan. As the fifth disciple of Zhang Sanfeng, his martial arts is among the best among his brothers. He is Zhang Sanfeng's favorite disciple, and he has integrated calligraphy into martial arts (what his teacher taught, no one else but him can learn it), maybe because he is a tragic hero , so people are impressed by him.
3. Hu Fei. This snowy mountain flying fox was reckless but could not hide his heroic spirit. What was unexpected was that on the top of the snowy mountain, he could read Miao Ruolan's poems and appreciate the music of the harp and harp. Later, he took Miao Ruolan with him. Ruolan went down the mountain and in the cave, she made a lifelong decision with Miao Ruolan by saying, "It is better to drink wine and grow old together with your son. With the harp and harp at your disposal, it is best to be quiet."
4. Huang Yaoshi. Needless to say, this Dongxie is simply extremely smart. Without him, he would not be able to do it. I have always felt that if he had not been so exposed to things other than martial arts, but focused on martial arts, he would probably be even better. A realm.
5. Chen Jinnan. "If you don't know Chen Jinnan in your life, it would be useless to call him a hero." Even though he has reached this point, his life in this world is not in vain. He first served as Zheng Chenggong's military advisor, and later stayed in the Central Plains to found the Tiandihui. He was outstanding in both strategy and martial arts. It can be called a masterpiece, and it can bear the name of "both civil and military".
6. Wu Yazi. The leader of the Xiaoyao Sect, he is somewhat similar to Dong Xie. He is also omnipotent, has excellent martial arts skills, and is very handsome. Even in his old age, he is still full of splendor.
7. Chen Jialuo. As the chief helmsman of the Red Flower Club, he was young and promising, and quite bookish. Although he failed politically, maybe it was because of his kindness, but I still remember his cool demeanor.
8. Zhang Sanfeng. The originator of the Wudang Sect described by Jin Yong had a legendary life. He worked as a handyman in the Shaolin Temple and eventually became a master. He was unparalleled in terms of talent and opportunity. What is even more rare is the profound knowledge of this scholar Zhang. With such an elegant person like Zhang Cuishan, his evaluation of Zhang Sanfeng is: A man who is thousands of miles away is not big enough, and a man who is thousands of feet high is not deep enough... He is so broad and profound that I don’t know where to start.
The Yellow Crane Tower is located on the top of Snake Mountain in Wuchang. It has been known as the "Three Famous Towers in Jiangnan" together with Yueyang Tower in Hunan and Tengwang Pavilion in Jiangxi since ancient times.
The myths and legends of the Yellow Crane Tower give it a mysterious color. Legend has it that there was a hotel opened by the Xin family on the Yellow Crane Head of Snake Mountain, and Taoist priests often asked for drinks from it. In order to thank him for his kindness, he drew a crane on the wall before leaving, telling Xin that he could come down and dance for fun. From then on, the restaurant was full of guests and business was booming. Ten years later, the Taoist priest came back and played the flute. The Taoist priest climbed onto the yellow crane and went up to the sky. In order to commemorate the immortal who helped him get rich, Xin built a tower on the site and named it "Yellow Crane Tower". According to legend, this Taoist was "Lu Dongbin", one of the Eight Immortals.
The Yellow Crane Tower was first built in the second year of Wu Huangwu (AD 223) during the Three Kingdoms period. Legend has it that it was built for military purposes. This), build a city for defense and build a tower for observation. By the Tang Dynasty, its military nature gradually evolved into a famous scenic spot. Literati and poets of all ages visited here and left many popular poems. A poem written by Cui Hao, a poet of the Tang Dynasty, "In the past, people have gone on the Yellow Crane, and the Yellow Crane Tower is empty here. The Yellow Crane has gone and never comes back, and the white clouds have been empty for thousands of years. The Qingchuan is full of Hanyang trees, and the grass is luxuriant. The Parrot Island. Sunset at Xiangguan "Where is it, the Yanbo River makes people sad" has become an eternal masterpiece and made the Yellow Crane Tower famous.
By the first year of Yongtai of the Tang Dynasty (AD 765), the Yellow Crane Tower had already reached a large scale, so many Jiangxia celebrities "must go there when traveling and have banquets there."
However, wars and fires were frequent, and the Yellow Crane Tower was built and abandoned many times. The last "Qing Tower" was built in the seventh year of Tongzhi (1868 AD) and destroyed in the tenth year of Guangxu (1884 AD). It has not been rebuilt for nearly a hundred years.
In October 1981, the Yellow Crane Tower reconstruction project broke ground. The main building was modeled on the Tongzhi Tower of the Qing Dynasty, but it was taller and more majestic. It is constructed using modern construction technology, and the reinforced concrete frame imitates the wood structure. It has 5 floors of cornices, a pointed roof, and a golden glazed tile roof. It is 51.4 meters high, 30 meters wide on the bottom floor, and 18 meters wide on the top floor. Large murals, couplets, cultural relics, etc. are arranged on each floor of the building. The bronze crane shape outside the building, the Shengxiang pagoda, the archway, the corridor, the pavilion and other auxiliary buildings make the main building even more magnificent. Climbing the tower and looking into the distance, you will be "as far as the eye can see" and the Yangtze River is rolling in, and you can have a panoramic view of the scenery of the three towns.
The new Yellow Crane Tower is regarded as a symbol of Wuhan City.
