Chapter 64: What Are These Men Thinking?
"Han Sheng, the Yellow Crane Tower was named Yellow Crane because there used to be a group of yellow cranes here?"
Han Sheng looked at me with disdain and said:
"I'm really not mistaken, you would think so, if this building is called the Lion Building, you must think that there are lions on it. ”
"Cut! Of course, the Lion Building is to raise lions, will it raise tigers?"
But I was already tired from climbing this building, so I didn't bother to argue with him.
"Xin Yu is not wrong, the Yellow Crane Tower is indeed a group of cranes, the crane is a symbol of Taoism to prolong life, but also a Taoist immortal beast, the Yellow Crane Tower was originally a holy place of Taoism, just like the Holy Land of Mingjiao is the top of the light, although it is normal to raise cranes. Hao Sheng talked eloquently.
Although Haosheng has been certified by me as a flowery man, in just two or three days, I have changed my opinion of him a little, and now I feel that he has become a knowledgeable and persevering man with strong legs.
I think he should be given a chance to play.
"So it's all yellow cranes?" I asked.
"Originally, I wasn't sure, but Xin Yu said yes, it should be. Because according to the records of Taoist classics, Lu Dongbin, the patriarch of the Taoist Quanzhen School of Taoism in the Tang Dynasty, preached here, and later Lu Dongbin took a yellow crane to fly to the immortals, and the whole building may be a yellow crane. Haosheng continued to reply.
Han Sheng immediately interjected unconvinced:
It was just a poem written by the Tang Dynasty poet Cui Hao about the Yellow Crane Tower, which is considered to be the first of the seven laws in Tang Dynasty poetry, and the first sentence of the poem is "The people of the past have taken the Yellow Crane to go, and the Yellow Crane Tower is empty here." The former people refer to immortals, but they don't say that they must be Lu Dongbin. ”
I didn't ask you, what are you talking about? But I think it's actually quite beautiful.
It seems that Han Sheng wants to raise the bar, although the "former people" in the poem do not say that it is Lu Dongbin, but the probability of Lu Dongbin should also be very high!
And they are all immortals of the Tang Dynasty, so it doesn't mean Lu Dongbin, which immortal will there be?
But I'm smart enough to not get involved in such things as jealousy and jealousy.
I'm a referee, I'm neutral!
Thinking of this, I am even more happy.
They should come up with more evidence so that they can get the judge's favor!
Haosheng's statement this time is good, I think he has improved.
"In fact, the Yellow Crane Tower that we are climbing up now is not the original monument, it was built in 1981, and it is not very old. The bodyguards also joined the debate at this time.
“W… T… I climbed for a long time and climbed a fake monument!"
"Then where did that Yellow Crane Tower go?" I couldn't believe it, and turned to look at the bodyguard.
I'm not stupid to ask, right?
"The original site of the Yellow Crane Tower is actually a kilometer away, and it was demolished when the Yangtze River Bridge was built when the Wuchang approach bridge was built, but don't feel a pity, because in fact, there is no Yellow Crane Tower there, in the Qing Dynasty Guangxu time, there is only a bronze roof, and that is not the old Yellow Crane Tower of the Three Kingdoms era. The bodyguard smiled at me with a wide-eyed look of disbelief.
Your knowledge is beyond my expectations, but when was Guangxu in the Qing Dynasty? I don't understand it at all!
"The point of our visit to the Yellow Crane Tower is not actually the Yellow Crane Tower. At this time, the most learned Han Sheng spoke.
Is he talking about philosophy, or is he talking about Zen?
"China's famous buildings are mainly made of wood, so most of them have been burned down during the wars. The Yellow Crane Tower has long ceased to exist because of its age, or because of the corruption of wooden objects or war. Han Sheng continued.
I thought I was seeing a building built in the Three Kingdoms period, and I couldn't believe it when it was well maintained.
It was built in the 1981s!
Eggplant~ The ancient courtyard house where my grandmother lives is much older than this one! What do I do when I come all the way to climb this new building?
"The reason why the Yellow Crane Tower is called the first building in the south of the Yangtze River is that a large number of literati and elegant guests in history have used this building to commemorate the past and the present. The most famous is of course the Yellow Crane Tower. In addition, there is a poet immortal Li Bai wrote: the old man left the Yellow Crane Tower in the west, and the fireworks went down to Yangzhou in March. Han Sheng continued.
When I think of this, I can't help but be complacent, and I am extremely proud of my knowledge.
But in fact, we don't need to buy a ticket to climb to the top of the fifth floor, these can be told to me directly at the entrance of the scenic spot!
I looked at it downstairs and thought it was something from the Three Kingdoms era, something from Cao Cao's time, something almost 2,000 years ago.
As a result, when I climbed to the fifth floor, I realized that it was wood from 1981, and it was only more than 30 years.
What are these men thinking?
I'm so hard!
☆☆☆
The next morning, we went to Wuhan Red Mansion again, and those three men who didn't know each other cultivated a good "tenacity" in just a few days, making me seem to have become a superfluous person, I really underestimated the friendship of men.
In the evening, the bodyguard led us to take a short walk around the Hanjiang Road Pedestrian Street, and then went to a private club for dinner.
The restaurant building has a wide field of vision, facing the river and the lake, which can be said to be towering to the river and the mountains and rivers of the country.
The visual enjoyment alone makes people feel comfortable, and it is a good place to enjoy the scenery and dine.
As soon as we entered the door, the elegant and bright usher led us into the restaurant.
On the right-hand side of the door is a miniature lotus pond decorated with small Chinese-style bamboo ornaments and warm, bright lighting.
The ceilings are gilded, carved and trimmed with velvet, giant crystal lamps cascade down like a waterfall, and the walls of multicolored marble are dazzling.
The lobby features deep wood paneling, marble floors and feature lighting to create an elegant and stylish dining environment.
Floor-to-ceiling glass walls and winding corridors are filled with 36 independent private rooms of different genres and styles by Western art masters.
It can be seen that this should be a membership system, and it is not something that ordinary people can enter.
"The no-menu Japanese cuisine here is very famous, and all the ingredients are flown in from Hokkaido on the same day, so there should be a top 10 in the queue at Han Sheng's favorite restaurant......" Entering the box, the bodyguard briefly introduced us.
"If you are sincere, I thought you were going to use Wang Pin to send you away. Han Sheng smiled with satisfaction.
As soon as I heard the bodyguard say this, Haosheng immediately noticed that my face was embarrassed, and then exchanged words with the bodyguard.
Actually, I can eat anything, but I don't dare to eat sashimi except for Japanese food, and Japanese food is mostly raw food, so I don't have much to eat.
In fact, Hao Sheng likes Japanese food, in the past, in order to let me eat with him, Hao Sheng always shamelessly asked the waiter in the restaurant for a few cups of hot water, and threw slices of sashimi into it in public, at least 5 years before handing it to me.
There were also times when I ate Buffet, and Hao Sheng privately asked the waiter to take a plate of sashimi directly and put it in a small hot pot to cook.
Haosheng always smiled and said that I was probably the only one in Xiamen who could eat imported expensive sashimi as boiled fish!
But that was before college, and then when I entered the society, my shame increased, and in the eyes of others, I rarely let Haosheng do this. After all, it would be really damaging to people to find out that the young proprietor of the Chen Group was doing this.
Because of this, I went on a date with Hao Sheng, and we rarely dined at Japanese restaurants.
Thinking about it this way, there are actually quite a few things that Haosheng sacrificed and gave up for me.
Thinking of this, I glanced at him, and my heart was still very moved, Haosheng has indeed done a lot of stupid things for me over the years.
