The Origin of Yellow Crane Tower

The Yellow Crane Tower is named after the "Yellow Crane". One theory is that the original building was built on the Yellow Crane Rock. Later generations read "鹄" as "鹤", and the rumor spread, and word of mouth became a fact. Another theory is the legend of the "immortal Yellow Crane" with a magical color. During the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, the belief in immortals was prevalent, and the fairy tales about the Yellow Crane Tower were also formed against the background of the development of strange novels that focused on "supernatural powers". The legend of the immortal riding a crane first appeared in the writings of Zu Chongzhi, a scientist in the Southern Dynasties. The "guest riding a crane" in his "Records of Strange Things" was later compiled by Lu Xun in "Ancient Novels": The original site of the Yellow Crane Tower is at the head of the Yellow Crane Rock on Sheshan, Wuchang, Hubei. According to legend, this place was originally a hotel opened by Xin. In order to thank her for the thousand cups, a Taoist priest painted a crane on the wall before leaving, telling her that it could come down to dance and cheer. From then on, the house was full of guests and the business was booming. Ten years later, the Taoist priest came back, played his flute, and rode on a yellow crane to the sky. To commemorate the immortal who helped her get rich, Xin built a tower on the spot and named it "Yellow Crane Tower".
