The Yellow Crane Tower is a famous scenic spot at home and abroad. It is the first place in Snake Mountain, overlooking Jianghan Communication and commanding the scenery of three towns. Since ancient times, it has enjoyed the reputation of "the best scenery in the world" and "the first building in the world".
The Yellow Crane Tower was built in 223 AD, with a history of nearly 1800 years. Today, the Yellow Crane Tower 198 1 was rebuilt and completed in June 1985. Covering an area of more than 250 mu, the park is a scenic spot with both humanistic natural environment and Jiangnan garden style, which is divided into four scenic spots in the east, west, north and south, and 65 scenic spots. Since the opening of 17, our park has received nearly 100 party and state leaders and foreign leaders, and about 40 million Chinese and foreign tourists from more than 90 countries and regions, with accumulated income of 300 million yuan and construction funds of 65,438 billion yuan.
On September 4th, 2000, shouyi park, located on the east side of Sheshan Mountain, was placed under the management of Yellow Crane Tower Park as a whole, which injected new vitality into the long-term development of Yellow Crane Tower Park. Now the Yellow Crane Tower Park has become an important "window" to show the image of Wuhan and a "leader" in the development of tourism.
The Yellow Crane Tower, known as one of the three famous buildings in the south of the Yangtze River, was originally located in Jitou, Yellow Crane, Sheshan, Wuchang, Hubei. It turned out that the Xin family owned the hotel. Before leaving, a Taoist drew a crane on the wall and told it to come down and dance for fun. From then on, the guests were full and the business was booming. After ten years, the Taoist priest came back and played with a flute. The Taoist priest set foot on 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 Yellow Crane Tower is close to the Yangtze River and stands on the top of Snake Mountain. It is tall, straight, brilliant and magnificent, and naturally becomes a world-famous tourist attraction. Celebrities of past dynasties, such as Li Bai, Bai Juyi, Jia Dao, Lu You, Yang Shen and Zhang. Come here to play and write poems. Cui Hao's poem The Yellow Crane Tower has always been regarded as a masterpiece, and many people can recite it. Because of this poem, many people have nostalgia for the Yellow Crane Tower. When the new Yellow Crane Tower is completed, its richness is exciting and natural. There are many touching legends about the Yellow Crane Tower. One of the legends is that a man named Wei Fei cultivated immortals in the Yellow Crane Mountain and then ascended to heaven by the Yellow Crane. Later, in memory of Wei Fei, people built a Yellow Crane Tower on the Yellow Crane Mountain. Cui Hao's poem is related to this, which reads: "In the past, the yellow crane carried saints to heaven, but now only the yellow crane tower is left. The yellow crane does not return to the world, and the white clouds are long. Every tree in Hanyang has become clear due to sunlight, and Nautilus Island is covered with sweet grass. But I looked home, the twilight was getting thicker, and the river waves were filled with sad mist. " The ancient Yellow Crane Tower "has three floors, with a height of 9 feet 2 feet and a copper roof of 7 feet, * * * becomes the number of 99." The new building is much more magnificent, with five floors and a five-meter-high gourd-shaped treasure top. * * * The height is 51.4m, which is nearly 20m higher than that of Gu Lou. The ground floor of Gu Lou is "15m wide" and the ground floor of the new building is 30m 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 standards.
1In February, 927, Mao Zedong came to Wuchang after inspecting the peasant movement in Hunan, and wrote the famous "Bodhisattva Man Climbs the Yellow Crane Tower": "Nine schools in China, north and south reunited. Misty and rainy, turtles and snakes lock the river. Does the yellow crane know where to go? There is room for tourists.
When Wuchang approach bridge of Yangtze River Bridge 1957 was built, the former site of Yellow Crane Tower was occupied, and now the reconstructed Yellow Crane Tower is located at Sheshanfengling, which is about 1 km away from the former site. * * * Five floors, 50.4 meters high, pyramid-shaped roof, layers of cornices, shaped like a whole. There are other buildings around the main building, such as victory tower, stele gallery and mountain gate. The whole building has a unique national style. Inside the Yellow Crane Tower, layers of styles are different. The ground floor is a large and spacious hall, with caissons as high as 10 meters in the middle. On the front wall is a huge ceramic mural of "White Clouds and Yellow Crane", and couplets up to 7 meters long are hung on the columns on both sides: cool and refreshing, clouds and clouds are comfortable; A river gone forever, the waves washed away the troubles of the past and present. On the front wall of the hall on the second floor, the marble of Yellow Crane Tower written by Yan in Tang Dynasty is engraved, describing 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 birth history of the Yellow Crane Tower and Wuchang City; The other is Zhou Yu's Banquet, which reflects the celebrity activities from the Three Kingdoms to the Yellow Crane Tower.

Yellow Crane Tower
Cui Hao
The fairy of the past has flown away by the yellow crane, leaving only an empty Yellow Crane Tower.
The yellow crane never revisited earth, there have been no long white clouds for thousands of years.
Every tree in Hanyang has become clear due to sunlight, and Nautilus Island is covered with sweet grass.
But I looked at my hometown, and the twilight was getting thicker, and the mist of sadness was filled on the river waves.
Note: Yellow Crane Tower: The former site is on the Yellow Crane Tower at the bridge head of Wuchang Yangtze River Bridge in Wuhan, Hubei Province, with its back against the Snake Mountain and overlooking the Yangtze River. Previous life: the legendary immortal. There are two kinds of sayings: one is that in the Three Kingdoms, Fei Wenxian, a Shu man, crossed the crane to ascend the immortal and rested on the Yellow Crane Tower; It is said that Xian Zi 'an once passed the Yellow Crane Tower by crane. This sentence is written as "The old man has been gone by Baiyun." Qingchuan: It means that the Hanshui River glows by day. Hanyang: Hanyang District, Wuhan City, Hubei Province, located at the angle between the Yangtze River and Hanshui River, facing the Yellow Crane Tower in Wuchang across the river. Parrot Island: Located on the Yangtze River in Erli, southeast of Hanyang, it is gradually washed away by the river. At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, Huang Zu killed Miheng and was buried in the mainland. Mi Fei once wrote "Parrot Fu", which was later called Parrot Island.
Second, the Guqintai in Hanyang.
Guqintai, also known as Boyatai, is located at the west foot of Guishan Mountain in Hanyang and the east side of Yuehu Lake. This is a memorial building, which was built to commemorate the meeting between Yu Boya and his close friend Zhong Ziqi.
Guqintai was built in the Northern Song Dynasty, but it was destroyed and built repeatedly. In the early years of Jiaqing in Qing Dynasty, Bi Yuan, Governor of Huguang, presided over the reconstruction of Qintai. In Qing Dynasty, Wang Zhong wrote an inscription and preface for Qintai, and wrote A Textual Research on Boya, which was well received by people at that time. In the tenth year of Guangxu (1884), Huang Pengnian wrote the Record of Rebuilding Hanyang Qintai. In the 16th year of Guangxu (1890), Yang Shoujing presided over and personally wrote Dan's book, re-inscribed the inscription on Qintai in Qintai Monument Gallery, and re-recorded Hanyang Qintai, and inscribed the word "Guqintai" on the lintel of the gate. Guqintai complex covers an area of 15 mu, with small scale and exquisite layout. The main buildings are courtyards, gardens, flower beds, tea rooms and distinct levels. The cloisters in the courtyard are folded, opened and closed according to the situation, and the scenery is changed, which makes each other interesting. The builder made full use of the terrain and the skillful technique of "borrowing scenery" in China garden design, and skillfully borrowed the landscape of Guishan Moon Lake, forming a broad and far-reaching artistic realm. Visit the Guqintai, enter the gate, cross the yard, and leave the right gate of the tea garden. The entrance is the "Enlightenment Stone House", the imperial book of Daoguang in Qing Dynasty, which is placed in the yellow tile red column. On the east side of Zhaobi, there is a small door with the word "Qintai" written, which is said to be written by Mi Fei, a famous calligrapher in the Northern Song Dynasty. After entering the door, there are stone carvings of past dynasties and inscriptions on rebuilding the piano platform on the wall of the curved corridor. Further on, there is Tang Qin, also known as Friendship Hall. The square stone platform made of white marble in the courtyard in front of the main hall is a piano platform symbolizing playing the piano.
Third, Wuhan East Lake Scenic Area.
East Lake, located in the eastern suburb of Wuchang, is one of the national key scenic spots and a famous water sports venue in Wuhan. Some people call it the "ocean" of big cities. East Lake is a huge lake with a water surface of 33 square kilometers, which is more than five times larger than West Lake in Hangzhou. Together with the land scenic spots along the lake, it covers an area of more than 80 square kilometers. The winding shore and criss-crossing ports of East Lake are called 99 bays. Since 1950, scenic spots have been built here. Up to now, six tourist areas with their own characteristics have been formed, namely Tingtao District, Moshan District and Luohong District, as well as Baima District, Luo Yan District and Flute Playing District, which have not been fully built.
Walking into the gate of East Lake is Tingtao District. To the south of this area is a long and narrow peninsula. There are Xianyue Pavilion, Kezhuxuan, multi-view terrace, outdoor theater, skating rink and so on. Going north from here is to listen to Tao Xuan. Surrounded by pines and cypresses, this porch is quiet in appearance and quaint in architecture. There is the word "Cloud Water Town" on the lower right of Xuan, and there are attractive dishes with live fish flavor in Tingtao restaurant on the lower left. Crossing the Hefeng Bridge to the north is the "Yin Hangting Pavilion" in memory of Qu Yuan, a poet of Chu State, which is equivalent to a two-or three-story Yin Hangting Pavilion. The ancient style is simple and reminiscent of the past. Go north and cross Luo Yu Bridge, and you will see Hu Lin Gallery and qu yuan memorial hall in zigui county in Zigui County, where art and calligraphy exhibitions are often held. Cross a bridge further north, and you will reach the pear garden. Orchard (pear) is the main part of the park, supplemented by exotic flowers and herbs. Across the Liyuan to the north is Jiunvdun to commemorate the sacrifice of Jiunvdun in Taiping Heavenly Kingdom. At this time, the scenery along the lake has been completed, but there is a long embankment from Jiunvdun to the east, leading to an island in the middle of the lake. There is a lake pavilion (Huguang Pavilion) on the island, just like the lake island on the edge of Yin Yue in Santan, West Lake, Hangzhou.
Fourth, Zhuo Daoquan.
Zhuodao Spring faces East Lake Scenic Area in the north and Khufu in the east. According to legend, Guan Yu was stationed in Hufu Mountain in Wuchang at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty. Because of lack of water, the feather stood on the ground with a knife, and the water surged into a spring, hence the name Zhuodao Spring. In the Song Dynasty, a temple named "yuquan temple" was built for the spring water. It used to be a place where incense was flourishing and tourists were weaving. Most temples were destroyed by the war, and the existing buildings were rebuilt in 19 16. The gate is engraved with the word "Zhuodaoquan", and when it enters the gate, it becomes a quadrangle. In the center of the yard is a spring well; On the left is the Taoyuan Pavilion with statues of Liu Bei, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei. The left and right compartments are meditation halls. Then enter the main hall to make a statue of Guan Yu. In front of the temple, the spring water is flowing, and the ancient trees are dense, quiet and leisurely, with a unique Shan Ye flavor.
Zhuodaoquan (also known as yuquan temple, yuquan temple, Quansi and Guanmiao) is located at the foot of Mount Khufu. In the sixth year of Jingtai in the Ming Dynasty (1455), the annals of all nations recorded: "Ten miles east of Fucheng, on the altar in the suburbs of Han Zhaolie. The legendary sword of Guan Zhuo is here, and there is a temple on the spring. " During the reign of Emperor Kangxi in Qing Dynasty, Du Fu compiled Wuchang Fu Zhi, saying, "Zhuodaoquan, fifteen miles east of the county, is the suburb altar of Zhao Lie in Han Dynasty. Call for Guan Yu to March under the Zhuo Dao altar, and there will be springs. " According to the Complete Records of Zhuodao recorded in the 9th year of Guangxu reign (1883), "If there is a complete Zhuodao within fifteen miles of the east of the city, my Chu will be the scenic spot. Yesterday, when Guan Yu was in charge of Jiangling in Hanshou Pavilion, Zhuo Dao was here, hence the name. " According to legend, Guan Yu was stationed here at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty. Because of drought and lack of water, the soldiers are eager for horses. In desperation, Guan Yu fell to the ground with a knife, and suddenly the water surged into a spring. Later, people named this spring "Zhuodao Spring". In memory of Guan Yu, a temple named "yuquan temple" was built in the Song Dynasty this spring, which was once a place where incense was flourishing and tourists were weaving.
The well in Zhuodaoquan is about three feet deep. The inscription says that the spring water is "warm in winter and bitter in summer, light blue in color and sweet as glutinous rice." Drinking it can cure diseases. " At the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, Wang Zhuzhen visited here and drank its spring water, praising its sweetness and delicacy. So he built a well platform for the spring, built a stone fence and built a well pavilion, and wrote the word "Zhuodao Spring" in his own hand and engraved it on the stone fence.
Zhuodaoquan has always been a scenic spot in Wuchang. According to the records of stone tablets in the temple, Zhuodao Spring is surrounded by Zhou Songbai, and the ground is towering. Whenever the smoke rises, the sky is clear and Wan Li is full of birds and flowers. And the breeze is blowing, and the clouds are surging and the valley is ringing. Its surging sound, like a galloping horse, came in disorder. Often a lark changes as soon as it breathes, and its ending is unpredictable. A poet is a poet, and he will not see spring soon. "Its beautiful and spectacular scenery is fascinating", so people who swim in it can't go for a long night. "
Zhuodaoquan is another dangerous place. It connects Guizi Mountain in the west and Hufu Mountain in the east, and is located between Jiuling and Eighteen Depression. It is the pass of the ancient post road east of Wuchang, and it is a battleground for military strategists. In the early years of Xianfeng in Qing Dynasty, Taiping Army and Qing Army fought fiercely here, and most buildings in yuquan temple were destroyed. In the eighth year of Xianfeng (1858), Linyi, Hu Zhongcheng, donated money for reconstruction, which showed that "the word of God was renewed, the weekly calendar climbed high, and Tong Tong looked after it". So in the second year of Guangxu (1876), the Yi people asked Yizhonggong to donate money to replant 13000 pine trees with plum trees.
The existing Zhuodaoquan Building was rebuilt on the original site of 19 16. The gate is engraved with the word "Zhuodaoquan". After entering the mountain gate, there is a courtyard with a spring in the middle, a garden pavilion for statues of Liu, Guan and Zhang on the left, a meditation hall and a living room on the left and right, and then a hall for statues of Guan Yu. In 1950s, Zhuodaoquan was included in the cultural relics of East Lake Scenic Area for maintenance. From the perspective of cultural relics protection, Wuhan Municipal People's Government designated it as a municipal cultural relics protection unit in 1959.
During the Cultural Revolution, Zhuodao Spring was destroyed, monks in the temple were driven away, the ancestral hall in the main hall was dug up, and the main hall became a mourning hall for storing urns. It was not until 1988 that it was returned to the Wuhan Buddhist Association and restored as a temple according to the instructions of the State Council. Now Zhuodaoquan well has been treated and repaired, and its original appearance has been restored. The well water is clear and does not decrease at four o'clock; The word "Zhuodaoquan" in Inoue is clear and striking: the main hall, meditation hall, living room and Taoyuan Pavilion have all been renovated; The back wall of the mountain gate is inlaid with stone tablets such as "yuquan temple" and "Zhuodaoquan".
199 1 The District People's Government negotiated with the Provincial Forestry Department, Wuhan Air Force Command, Zhuodaoquan Village and the Municipal Buddhist Association to build Zhuodaoquan Park, the first park in Hongshan District. Therefore, the District Municipal Construction Administration expanded the 300 section of Zhuodaoquan Road from the asphalt road less than 7 meters wide to 30 meters wide, built sidewalks, and planted ornamental trees such as magnolia and oleander on both sides of the road by the District Landscape Bureau. The District Construction Committee also invested in the construction of the mountain gate and small bridge of Daoquan Temple in Gu Zhuo. It was officially opened to the public on June 5438+0993+065438+1October 5. This park covers 9 hectares. At present, there are two ancient architectural landscapes, namely, bonsai garden and grand view garden, as well as color-controlled fountains and playgrounds.
Fifth, Yimen. Qiyimen is a key cultural relic protection unit in Hubei Province. Formerly Zhonghemen, the ancient city of Wuchang, is located in Uprising Street, Shouyi Road, Wuchang. 19111June 10. After the uprising of the Hubei New Army Engineering Battalion, it quickly took control of Zhonghemen, and the Nanhu Ma Artillery Battalion, which participated in the uprising, was able to enter the city from this gate, and shelled the Huguang Governor's Office in Chengtou, effectively cooperating with and supporting other uprising troops. The gate is 7. 1 m high and 5 m wide. On the city gate, there are double eaves, towers on the top of the mountain, Zhu Zhuqing tiles and cornices. The word "Seven Righteous Men" was inscribed by Marshal Ye Jianying.
