Why didn't the Yellow Crane Tower be rebuilt on the original site?
1. The original site is occupied by the Yangtze River Bridge. The original site of the Yellow Crane Tower is Jitou, Huang Qi, Sheshan, Wuchang, on the south bank of the Yangtze River. It is said that it was built in the Kingdom of Wu during the Three Kingdoms period (AD 223). The Yellow Crane Tower has been built and destroyed repeatedly in history. Wuhan Yangtze River Bridge was built in 1957, and Wuchang approach bridge occupied the former site of Yellow Crane Tower. The Yellow Crane Tower was rebuilt on 198 1, located at Sheshanfengling, 0/000 meters away from the former site/kloc-0.
2. The original site is contrary to the geomantic view. Wuhan is a city with hundreds of lakes. If the Yangtze River, Hanshui River, East Lake, South Lake and dotted lakes are regarded as continuous waters, then the urban land is a floating island dotted on the water, and Wuhan is a city floating on the water. On this magnificent water, there is a ridge in the middle that stands out.
From west to east, it is Meishan, Guishan, Sheshan, Hongshan, Luojiashan, Moshan and Yujiashan. This series of ridges is like a dragon lying on the waves, with Yujiashan, the first peak in Wuhan, as the leader and Meizi Mountain lying on the Moon Lake as the dragon tail. This is the geographical Long Mai of Wuhan, and the Yellow Crane Tower is located at the waist of the dragon. Riding Long Zaitian, taking this opportunity, the position of the Yellow Crane Tower seems to reveal some mysteries.
