What are the four major attics in ancient China?
1. Yellow Crane Tower
The Yellow Crane Tower is known as one of the three famous towers in the south of the Yangtze River. In the second year of Wu Huangwu in the Three Kingdoms (AD 223), in the long history of history, the Yellow Crane Tower has gone through vicissitudes of life, been destroyed and rebuilt many times, and has been around for generations. It can be verified more than 30 times.
The last time the Yellow Crane Tower was destroyed was in August of the 10th year of the reign of Emperor Guangxu of the late Qing Dynasty (AD 1884). Due to a fire in Dongjiapo residents’ houses outside Hanyang Gate, the wind and fire were fierce and affected the tower, which soon destroyed this eternal building. The famous building was reduced to ashes, leaving only a copper tower and tripod covered with thousands of kilograms of treasure.
It has not been rebuilt for nearly a hundred years. The existing Yellow Crane Tower was rebuilt in the 1980s.
2. Yueyang Tower
Yueyang Tower is located in Yueyang, an ancient cultural city with a long history. Yueyang was called "Baling" in ancient times. It is located in the northern part of Hunan Province, where the vast Dongting Lake and the Yangtze River stretch for thousands of miles. Here they meet. The Yueyang Tower, the first of the three famous towers in the south of the Yangtze River, is located at the head of the west gate of an ancient city built by the water.
Yueyang has mountains, rivers and buildings, picturesque scenery and many places of interest. The beauty of Yueyang scenery is concentrated in Dongting Lake and ends on the first floor of Yueyang. The scenic spot of Baling, centered on Yueyang Tower and Junshan, is famous far and wide. It is known all over the world as "the water in Dongting is under the sky, and the tower is under the sky in Yueyang".
The Yueyang Tower stands on the east bank of Dongting Lake, on the west gate wall of Yueyang City, facing the vast Dongting Lake to the west and the Yangtze River rolling eastward to the north. It has the reputation of "water everywhere, Yueyang towers under heaven" and is one of the famous tourist attractions in my country.
3. Tengwang Pavilion
Tengwang Pavilion is located in Nanchang City, Jiangxi Province. It was built in the fourth year of Tang Xianqing (659). In 675, Prince Teng's Pavilion was rebuilt. Wang Bo, a famous poet of the Tang Dynasty, went to celebrate and wrote the popular "Preface to Prince Teng's Pavilion". From then on, the preface became famous for the pavilion, and the pavilion became famous for its preface.
Tengwang Pavilion has been built and destroyed 29 times. It was rebuilt in 1985 and the main pavilion was completed and opened in 1989. The new pavilion has a net height of 57.5 meters, three bright and seven hidden, with a construction area of about 13,000 square meters. It has a reinforced concrete imitation wood structure, faces east from the west, and is symmetrical from north to south.
The green tiles and red pillars, gilded double eaves, painted beams, and gold plaques hanging on all four sides inherit the architectural style of the Tang and Song Dynasties.
4. Penglai Pavilion
Penglai Pavilion, because of its location in the sea, was historically the place visited by the kings of Qin and Han; later, the legend of the Eight Immortals crossing the sea has been attached to it for a long time. Here, it was regarded as a fairyland by literati of all ages.
Penglai Pavilion was built for this purpose and is located on the top of Danya Mountain near the sea in the north of the city. The Danya Cliff rises from the sea, and is red in color, contrasting with the vast blue water. Sometimes there are clouds and smoke, with the Penglai Pavilion perched high above it. The "Xian Pavilion in the Sky" is indeed a picture of the sky opening up.
Penglai Pavilion is one of the "Four Famous Buildings in Ancient China" and was built in the sixth year of Jiayou of the Song Dynasty. Penglai Pavilion is located in the west of Yantai City, on Danya Mountain in the north of Penglai City. It is one of the four famous buildings in the country together with Yellow Crane Tower, Yueyang Tower and Tengwang Pavilion.

Poems related to the four great attics in ancient China
1. People in the past have gone by Yellow Crane, and the Yellow Crane Tower is vacant here. The yellow crane is gone and never returns, and the white clouds remain empty for thousands of years. Qingchuan is full of Hanyang trees, and the grass is luxuriant and Parrot Island is green. Where is Rimuxiangguan? The smoke on the Yanbo River makes people sad. ——Tang Dynasty poet Cui Hao's "Yellow Crane Tower"
Interpretation: The immortals in the past have flown away on the Yellow Crane, leaving only an empty Yellow Crane Tower. The Yellow Crane never came back. For thousands of years, only the long white clouds and the trees in Hanyang under the sunlight were clearly visible. Parrot Island was covered with green grass. It's getting late, looking into the distance, where is my hometown? All I could see in front of me was a mist covering the river, bringing me a deep sense of melancholy.
2. In the past, I heard about Dongting water, and now I go to Yueyang Tower. To the southeast of Wu and Chu, the universe floats day and night. There are no relatives or friends, and there are no old and sick people. The soldiers and horses pass through the north of the mountain, and Pingxuan Tisi flows. ——Du Fu, a poet of the Tang Dynasty, "Climbing the Yueyang Tower"
3. The setting clouds and the solitary swans fly together, and the autumn water and the long sky are the same color.
The fishing boat sings late, and the sound is heard on the poor Pengli shore; the wild geese are frightened by the cold, and the sound is broken by the Hengyang Pu. ——Tang Dynasty poet Wang Bo's "Preface to the Pavilion of Prince Teng" (excerpt)
Interpretation: It is just after the rain that the sky clears up, the rainbow disappears and the clouds disperse, the sun is bright, the setting clouds fly together with the lone wild geese, the autumn river and the vast The sky is one piece and one color. In the evening, the singing from the fishing boats resounded along the shores of Pengli Lake, and the geese screamed as they felt the cold, and their calls ended at Hengyang Pu.
4. Ask where Penglai is, the wind and moon are still there, and the river is clear thousands of miles away. Don't talk about the things of gods. Even if there are gods, they are just idle people. Laughing at me several times to wake up from drunkenness, sweeping away the pine clouds with stone blocks. It is difficult to attract crazy visitors, and it is difficult to collect fragrances and give them away.
Looking down at the ancient ruins, sighing who has been there for a hundred years, I am alone on the threshold. In the rest of the night, I watched the crouching dragon and the dream, flying into the autumn underworld. I can still hear the sound of water flowing eastward, and the mountains are cold and there are no clouds. The front view is extremely empty and cold, and the cypresses and cypresses in the Han Dynasty are Xiao and Maoling. ——Zhang Yan, a poet of the Song Dynasty, "Remembering the Old Travels: Climbing the Penglai Pavilion"
Interpretation: I asked where the Penglai Fairy Mountain is. The wind and moon in front of me are still the same, people are gone, the river is vast and the sky is vast, and the guest is alone. Don't talk about gods. Gods do not exist. Only by giving up the troubles of the world can you be a real god. You should laugh at how many times I wake up alone and get drunk, sweeping the stone slabs under the pine shade. But it's hard to attract crazy people like He Zhizhang, and no one can give away the fragrant grass I picked, so I just whisper about loneliness. ?
In the blink of an eye, many things in the world have become obsolete. I sigh, "I am less than a hundred years old, and I always worry about a thousand years old." I lean on the railing alone. When daybreak comes, the sun rises over the sea, the mountains soar like dragons, people are in a dreamland, and everything falls into the deep changes of autumn. Then I heard the sound of the great river flowing eastward, and the mountains and ravines were gloomy without white clouds. I strained my eyes to look at the cold sky, thinking about the lush green Berlin, wondering how it was being devastated now.
