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.

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.”
