Where is Rimu Xiangguan? The smoke on the Yanbo River makes people sad. Cui Hao?
Cui Hao's poem made the Yellow Crane Tower famous throughout the ages. In a sense, the value of this poem is greater than the current value of the Yellow Crane Tower in Wuhan. The Yellow Crane Tower is located on the top of Wuchang Snake Mountain on the south bank of the Yangtze River in Wuhan, Hubei Province. It is close to the Yangtze River. It is a national 5A scenic spot and ranks 15th among the top 100 scenic spots in the country. Since its completion, it has enjoyed the reputation of "the first building of the ages". . But now the Yellow Crane Tower has been controversial and disappointed by tourists. They think that the Yellow Crane Tower is completely unqualified to enjoy such respect. All its fame is really not as good as Cui Hao's poem.
The Yellow Crane Tower was built in the second year of Huanglong, which was the second year of the Three Kingdoms period when Sun Quan of the Soochow regime proclaimed himself emperor. The Yellow Crane Tower was not built as a landscape pavilion, but for military purposes. The Yellow Crane Tower was first built in Xiakou, a very important military town. Xiakou guards the big bend of the Yangtze River. It is connected to Jiangling in Jingzhou on one side and faces Chaisang in Soochow on the other. Early warning for building construction in Xiakou is very important.
After the Three Kingdoms returned to Jin Dynasty, the Yellow Crane Tower lost its military function and became a meaningless ornamental building for officials and merchants to travel and have banquets. As Xiakou played an important role in the Yangtze River trade, the Yellow Crane Tower became a must-visit place for business travelers and literati traveling from north to south. Therefore, a large number of poems and songs were left in various dynasties, except Cui Hao's This poem, as well as other famous poems such as "The Yellow Crane Tower Sends Meng Haoran to Guangling" by Li Bai of the Tang Dynasty, has been handed down from generation to generation. The Yellow Crane Tower is famous for its excellent poems by literati and poets, and its reputation is growing.
But the Yellow Crane Tower itself had a checkered fate. Sun Quan built the Yellow Crane Tower. It was not what it looks like now. It was rebuilt many times even in the Tang Dynasty. Almost every reconstruction had major changes. The Yellow Crane Tower was destroyed by wars many times in the Tang Dynasty. War has always been closely linked with the Yellow Crane Tower. During the Ming and Qing dynasties, history books clearly record that the Yellow Crane Tower was destroyed seven times and rebuilt and repaired ten times. The most serious one was in the 10th year of Guangxu's reign, when the entire building was destroyed. Only a bronze roof of the Yellow Crane Tower was left at its site. All other ruins and basic buildings were not preserved.
What really changed the location of the Yellow Crane Tower was that in 1957, in order to build the Wuhan Yangtze River Bridge, the old site of the Yellow Crane Tower had to be occupied, so the Yellow Crane Tower was rebuilt on the Sheshan Mountain Ridge. This is where the Yellow Crane Tower is now. The largest construction of the Yellow Crane Tower was between 1981 and 1985. It took 4 years to re-erect a brand new Yellow Crane Tower on the bank of the Yangtze River.
The current Yellow Crane Tower is all made of reinforced concrete, and there is even an elevator inside. Visitors to the Yellow Crane Tower will experience almost nothing except the legends and poems about the Yellow Crane Tower that have been passed down through the ages. Any physical objects related to history and culture. It can be said that the Yellow Crane Tower is ranked 15th among the top 100 scenic spots in the country. It is purely for cultural reasons and has little to do with the landscape. This is also an important reason why the Yellow Crane Tower is not popular among tourists.
