Why is the Yellow Crane Tower in the name of “Yellow Crane”? It is
said that the original building was built on Huangpiji, and the
descendants read “鹄” as the “Heru”, which was rumored to be a
rumor. One is the legend of the “Imperial Yellow Crane” with a
different color. During the Wei, Jin and Southern and Northern
Dynasties, the immortality of the gods was prevailed. The sacred
5. words about the Yellow Crane Tower were also formed in the context
of the development of the whimsical novels of “Strange Power”. The
legend of the cross crane is first appeared in the writings of the
Southern Dynasty scientist Zu Chongzhi. In his “Remarks”, “The
Crane of the Crane” was later recorded by Lu Xun in the “History of
Ancient Novels”: The original site of the Yellow Crane Tower was in
the head of the Yellow Crane, Snake Mountain, Wuchang, Hubei.
According to legend, this place was originally Xin In order to thank
her for her thousand cups, the hotel opened a crane on the wall
before the trip, telling it to dance down. Since then, the business has
been booming. After ten years, the Taoist priests came back and took
the flute, and the Taoist priests crossed the yellow crane and went
straight to the sky. In order to commemorate the fairy who helped
her get rich, Xin’s name was “Yellow Crane Tower”.
The same is true of the “Record” quoted in “Jiangxia County”.
According to it, there was a person named Xin who used to sell
alcohol. One day, a very sturdy, but well-dressed guest, looked calmly
and asked Xin: “Can you give me a drink?” Xin’s not scorned because
of the other’s clothes, and hurriedly took a big A glass of wine is
served. After half a year, Sin’s did not show the tired look because the
guest could not pay for the money, and still invited the guest to drink
every day. One day, the guest told Xin, “I owe you a lot of money,
there is no way to pay you back.” So I took out the orange peel from
the basket and drew a crane on the wall, because the orange peel is
yellow, the painted crane Also yellow. As long as the people in the
seat sing and sing, the yellow crane on the wall will dance with the
singing, taking a beat and dancing. The guests in the hotel will pay for
it when they see this wonderful thing.
After so many years, Xin has accumulated a lot of wealth. One day,
the well-dressed guest floated to the hotel again. Xin’s thanks and
said, I am willing to support you and meet all your needs. The guest
replied with a smile: Where am I coming for this? Then I took out the
flute and blew a few songs. Not long after, I saw the white clouds
coming down from the sky. The yellow crane on the painting flew to
the front of the guests with the white clouds, and the guests crossed
the back of the crane and flew to the sky by the white clouds. Xin In
order to thank and commemorate this guest, he built a pavilion on
6. Huangjiji with the silver two earned in ten years. At first, people
called it “Xin’s House”. Later it was called the “Yellow Crane Tower.”
