An essay describing the Yellow Crane Tower

The Yellow Crane Tower, known as one of the three famous buildings in the south of the Yangtze River, was originally located at the head of the Yellow Crane Tower in Sheshan, Wuchang, Hubei. According to legend, it was built in the second year of Wu in the Three Kingdoms (223). In the long river of history, the Yellow Crane Tower has experienced vicissitudes, been destroyed and built repeatedly, and traveled around the world for more than 30 times.

When I mention the Yellow Crane Tower, I think of Cui Hao's poem: "In the past, the Yellow Crane carried saints to heaven, but now only the Yellow Crane Tower is left, and the white clouds will never fly. Every tree in Hanyang is clear, and Nautilus Island is a nest of herbs. Where is the sunset, there is a layer of sad fog on the river waves." Is the Yellow Crane Tower really that beautiful? Today, my father specially took me to the Yellow Crane Tower for sightseeing.

At the foot of Guishan Mountain, in front of Wuhan Yangtze River Bridge, looking eastward, the Yellow Crane Tower is looming in the fog, covering itself from time to time and sticking its head out from time to time to ask you if there is a naughty boy hiding to play with you.

When you cross the Yangtze River Bridge, you arrive at Snake Mountain. The first thing I saw when I looked up was the three Chinese characters "Yellow Crane Tower", which sparkled in the sun, like a few gold bars on the archway. How beautiful!

On the snake hill, at first glance, there is a bright red drum in front of the Yellow Crane Tower. Every day at noon, the drums will ring "Knock, Knock, Knock ……" The steady and regular drums attract many innocent and lively children. They came to the drum with curiosity and imitated the adults to beat the drum. Children are getting more and more excited. They laughed so sweetly. These drums left a deep impression on them.

Walking into the Yellow Crane Tower, a huge and exquisite picture of the Yellow Crane is displayed in front of us. This painting shows a snow-white yellow crane. A white-haired old man hunched on the back of a yellow crane and slowly ascended to heaven. There are countless people building houses on Snake Mountain, which is the building of Yellow Crane Tower. Dad pointed to the photo and said, "A long time ago, there was a legend that a man named Lu Dao rode on the Yellow Crane after practicing immortality in Snake Mountain. Later, people missed the land island and built a building called "Yellow Crane Tower" on this mountain. Later, the Yellow Crane Tower became famous in the world, and people came here to visit like us. "

Walking up to the second floor, a brand-new picture surprised us. There are so many people there that we can't see anything. My father and I walked through the crowd and saw a burly man and a thin woman performing a sketch on the stage. They are so interesting. The crowd applauded and the second floor was full of lively laughter.

When I came to the third floor, I looked out of the window. It's so high that I can't see anything on the ground. I only saw layers of white fog hanging over the Yellow Crane Tower, like a white coat. This reminds me of a poem written by Li Bai. It describes his height, which is higher than the cloud and the horizon. What a refreshing feeling!

Inside the Yellow Crane Tower, layers of styles are different. The bottom floor is a tall and spacious hall, in which the shaft is as high as 10 meter. The front wall of each floor is covered with vivid paintings, but the fourth floor is different. It allows you to enter the world of couplets, with 7 meters of couplets hanging on both sides: refreshing, sweeping the world; A river gone forever, the waves washed away the troubles of the past and present.

The Yellow Crane Tower in Hubei is really beautiful and makes people linger.
