When I first heard the name Yellow Tower, I mistakenly thought it was the fault of the Yellow Crane Tower. When I found that I misunderstood, I took it for granted that it was a yellow tall building. In fact, the yellow house is neither in Wuhan nor yellow. This well-known building (except myself) is located in Xuzhou, which was built by Su Dongpo when he was the magistrate of Xuzhou.

In the tenth year of Xining, Su Dongpo was appointed as the magistrate of Xuzhou. This is his first time as a major official of a country. Just three months after taking office, Su Dongpo met a big exam-the flood came. Due to the diversion of the Yellow River, Xuzhou became a guardian beside the Yellow River. The flood peak suddenly came and the levee burst. In a twinkling, Fiona Fang thyme became a Zeguo. "In September, the water depth reached 20 feet. The water depth once exceeded the streets in the city. " At this critical moment, Su Dongpo, as the head of a state, stuck to the front line of fighting floods day and night. Faced with the situation that some people fled hastily, which led to chaos in the city, Su Shi personally persuaded them at the city gate. When there was a great flood and manpower shortage, Su Shi personally came to the military camp and asked the local garrison for help. Unity is strength, and the flood finally receded after 45 days in Xuzhou. The crisis has been lifted, but Su Shi must have a deep memory of the damage caused by the flood to the people of Xuzhou. In order to relieve the flood once and for all, Su Shi asked the court to request funds to rebuild the stone wall, and then reinforced the dike with solid wood (why use wood? It is estimated that the funds have not yet arrived. On the outer wall, he presided over the construction of a high-rise building of more than ten feet, named "Yellow House".

Why not call it the red building, the black building or the vibrating water building? There is actually a reason for this. According to the theory that the five elements are interdependent, the relationship between wood, fire, earth, gold and water is gradually restrained and restricted, and its laws are: Mutuke, Tuke Water, Shuihuoke, Huojinke and Jin Kemu. We often say that "the enemy will block us and the water will drown us". "Every line has its corresponding color, which just symbolizes the essence of that color." Yellow corresponds to soil, and black corresponds to water. Because loess has the power to absorb water and the soil can resist water, it is named Huangwu, which actually means waterproof.

Taohuawu represents Su Shi's achievements in water control. However, during his tenure in Xuzhou, Su Shi did something that no one else had done. For example, caring about the health and welfare of prisoners, personally inspecting prisons and appointing doctors to treat prisoners are all very humane in modern society, and for example, he reformed the bad rules of the army.

"Some small things are easy to do, as long as people want to do it." Su Shi is such a person who not only thinks, but also wants to do it. At this point, Su Shi and Wang Anshi are no different. They are all willing to do practical things.

The eyes of ordinary people are discerning. There are countless poets and writers in the history of China, but Su Shi is always the brightest among the stars. Just because of his poems? With the passage of time, many tangible things will turn into nothingness, but the human spirit will not disappear. It will become a part of the spiritual culture of the Chinese nation and be handed down from generation to generation, influencing young people from generation to generation and guiding them to a bright road.
