Tengwang Pavilion, Yellow Crane Tower and Yueyang Tower, which has the longest history?
1. Yellow Crane Tower

The Yellow Crane Tower was named after a Taoist priest. There is a Taoist who often comes to this restaurant to drink. Because the boss didn't accept his money, he drew a yellow crane that could fly down and dance on the wall when he left. Since then, the business of restaurants has been getting better and better. Ten years later, the Taoist priest came to the restaurant again, rode on the crane and flew away. Later, the boss built a building here called "Yellow Crane Tower".

According to legend, the Yellow Crane Tower was built in the Three Kingdoms period, and later became a place for literati to climb the building to recite poems and paint. Celebrities of past dynasties, such as Cui Hao, Li Bai, Bai Juyi, Meng Haoran, Yue Fei, etc., visited here successively and wrote poems and lyrics. Among them, Cui Hao's Yellow Crane Tower and Li Bai's Yellow Crane Tower Farewell to Meng Haoran's trip to Yangzhou are both well-known works.

2. Tengwangge

Wang Tengting, built in the Tang Dynasty, has been called the first of the three famous buildings in the south of the Yangtze River since ancient times.

Li Yuanying is Li Shimin's younger brother. When he became emperor, Li Shimin named him Wang Teng. After Emperor Taizong, Emperor Taizong Li Zhi succeeded to the throne and exiled him to Hongzhou, which is now Nanchang. Shortly after Li Yuanying arrived in Hongzhou, he built a tall building on the left bank of Ganjiang River, namely Wang Tengting.

After many twists and turns, it was finally abolished. During the Jingfeng period of the Ming Dynasty (AD 1450- 1456), the governor ordered Han Yong to rebuild it. Its scale is: three floors, 27 meters high and 14 meters wide. The Wang Teng Pavilion, which was rebuilt today, has nine floors underground, is 57.5 meters high and covers an area of 47,000 square meters. Wang Tengge is a place where feudal literati and officials entertain guests. Zhu Yuanzhang, the founding emperor of the Ming Dynasty, also gave a banquet in the pavilion, ordering ministers and scholars to compose poems and lyrics and watch the lights. Wang Teng Pavilion enjoys a high reputation, which is largely attributed to a famous essay "Preface to Wang Teng Pavilion".

According to legend, Wang Bo, a poet at that time, visited relatives and friends and passed by Nanchang, just in time to rebuild Wang Tengting, the governor of Yan, and gave a big banquet in the pavilion. Wang Bo wrote this preface to Wang Tengge's Autumn Farewell on the spot, which impressed the guests present. After the preface, Wang Zhongshu took notes and Wang Xu wrote fu, which is called "Three Kings" in history. Since then, the order has been named after the pavilion, and the pavilion has been named after the order.

3. Yueyang Tower

Opinions vary as to when Yueyang Tower will be completed. It is generally believed that it was built in the Tang Dynasty, destroyed by war and chaos, and rebuilt and expanded in the Northern Song Dynasty. The fame of Yueyang Tower is largely attributed to Fan Zhongyan (989- 1052), a famous writer in the Northern Song Dynasty, who wrote an immortal essay "The Story of Yueyang Tower". According to legend, Ling Teng of Baling County at that time (Yueyang belongs to Baling County in Song Dynasty) once raised funds to rebuild Yueyang Tower.

Teng Amethyst is a very learned person. When the building was completed, he couldn't help writing a poem: "The lake is connected with the sky, and the sky is connected with the water. Qiu Lai pointed out. Junshan Mountain is naturally small, and a cloud from Yungu and Menggu has been surrounding Yueyang City. The emperor had the right to play the harp, but he was still injured. I heard that Lan Zhi moved Fang Xin, but there were no peaks on the river. " The 59-word lyric is very imposing. However, at Teng's request, Fan Zhongyan wrote notes for Yueyang Tower, which is even better. "The Story of Yueyang Tower" is 360 words, carefully chosen and touching to read. Many aphorisms in this article have become the mottoes for future generations to communicate with others. Among them, the phrase "worry about the world first, and enjoy the world later" is even more popular.
