Basic information
The Yellow Crane Tower, located at the top of the Snake Mountain, was built in the Three Kingdoms period in 223 AD and has been built and destroyed repeatedly in past dynasties. It has a history of 1780 years. The plaque with the words "Yellow Crane Tower" is said to have been inscribed by Wang Xizhi in the early days, and later by several celebrities until the Qing Dynasty. The three golden characters of "Yellow Crane Tower" we see now were inscribed by Shu Tong, the first chairman of China Calligraphers Association.
At the main entrance of the Yellow Crane Tower, there are four golden characters of "swallowing clouds and spitting dreams". This plaque was inscribed by Zhao Puchu, Chairman of China Religious Peace Committee. On both sides are couplets by the famous painter Liu Haisu. The first part: "Deng's fourth floor looks at the world in the paintings of Nujiang Gorge, and looks at the world".
The bottom line: "From the road to the door, strange trees penetrate the clouds, and poetry reaches the goal." Entering the main building, I saw a huge painting of the yellow crane spreading its wings. A pair of couplets on the column in the hall is said to be written by Su Dongpo for the Yellow Crane Tower when he passed by Wuchang: "The western heaven is refreshing, and the clouds and smoke sweep away the world." ; "The river of no return, the waves wash away all the worries of ancient and modern times.
