Chapter 166: The Three Famous Buildings
After Fang Jing took Fang Yuan into Yuezhou City, he found a guest house to live in, two people in one room, but he was not afraid of what others said, if it was in his previous life, someone would definitely say this and that.
"Brother, what are we going to eat tonight?" After entering the room, Fang Yuan sat on the bed and asked Fang Jing.
"Why don't you buy some food?" Fang Jing was too lazy to make it herself, just eat a little more.
"Brother, the food outside is not delicious." The little girl's mouth is at home, and she basically can't eat anything outside.
The two Hu cakes that were eaten on the boat, there was still one, and the two of them shared one to eat, most of which were still eaten by Fang Jing, Fang Jing had no choice but to take a little ancestor out on a trip.
"Then let's go and see what food is in this Yuezhou City first, we will clean the streets in a while, but we can't get out." Fang Jing took the little girl out of the guest house.
Fang Jing's brother and sister looked at the shops on both sides of the road casually, but they didn't find anything delicious to eat, but they saw some selling oil cakes, hu cakes, soup cakes, of course, rice and some boiled vegetables, Fang Jing kept shaking her head, not to mention the little girl.
"Brother, look, these foods are not delicious." The little girl pouted and whispered to Fang Jing.
"Then let's not eat, go back to the guest house later, call the guy to boil the kettle of hot water, let's eat noodles." Fang Jing didn't have any good ideas, so she could only eat a bowl of instant noodles, otherwise, there would really be nothing to eat.
Fang Jing had to take Fang Yuan back to the guest house, after all, there was nothing to see outside, after returning to the guest house, he asked the guy for a pot of boiling water and returned to the room, and asked for a few bowls of instant noodles from the dumb fairy.
"Brother, this instant noodle is so delicious, I want to eat another bowl." Fang Yuan held a bowl of instant noodles and took a big bite to eat.
"Okay, my brother will make another bowl in a while, but you can't eat more of this, at most two bowls, you can't eat every day, you can't eat a bowl every few days." Fang Jing wasn't afraid that instant noodles were poisonous, but she just thought it would be better for children to eat less.
"Okay, brother." Fang Yuan didn't raise his head, continued to eat instant noodles, and responded vaguely in his mouth.
Fang Yuan is the first time to eat instant noodles, which also makes this taste greatly increase her appetite, instant noodles are better, just fast food, to say a little ugly, in fact, no one knows what is added to it, the noodles that come out collectively on the assembly line, there will always be a little problem in any link, Fang Jing had eaten a small piece of iron in her previous life, and she couldn't find someone to find a place to reason.
The next day, Fang Jing took Fang Yuan to visit the entire Yuezhou City, and of course he also saw Yueyang Tower, one of the three famous buildings in the south of the Yangtze River in China.
Yueyang Tower, located on the city wall of the west gate of the ancient city of Yueyang, was originally just the Baling City Tower, Li Bai's poem 'and Xia Twelve Climb Yueyang Tower' described in the Yueyang Tower, the floor view of Yueyang is exhausted, the Sichuan Dongting is open; the wild goose leads the sorrowful heart, the mountain is good for the moon; the clouds even stay, the sky receives the cup; the cool breeze rises after being drunk, and the people dance their sleeves back. It is the Yueyang Tower that has been passed down to this day.
And Yueyang Tower was built in 215 A.D. as a military training parade building, destroyed in the war once, and rebuilt many times, and the Tang Dynasty before all called the parade building, until the Song Dynasty 1044 A.D., Teng Zijing to Yuezhou as an official, the Yueyang Building rebuilt, and this Yueyang Tower to the Ming Dynasty was destroyed in 1639, the second year was rebuilt, the Qing Dynasty was destroyed many times, and rebuilt many times, until May 1, 1984 is regarded as the Yueyang Building that is seen now.
There are three famous buildings in the south of the Yangtze River in Huaxia, Yueyang Tower is regarded as the ancient building that has been given more poems by these ancient sages, and the ancient building with the most famous articles, and the completion time is also the longest, which was built before 200 BC; The three famous buildings in the south of the Yangtze River in China are Yueyang Tower in Yueyang, the Yellow Crane Tower in Wuhan, and the Tengwang Pavilion in Nanchang; Of course, the Yellow Crane Tower is considered to have been given the most poems by the ancient literati, but there are relatively few famous articles, and there are many poems in Yueyang Tower, and there are few famous poems in Tengwang Pavilion.
The Yellow Crane Tower was built after 200 A.D., and it was only used as a military building at that time, and it was not that literati and scholars could climb the tower at will to write poems, and it was only in the Tang and Song dynasties that it was considered open.
Teng Wangke, built in 600 A.D., that is, during the reign of Tang Gaozong Li Zhi, was named after the Teng King Li Yuanying, Tengwang Pavilion was only used as a place for books and dignitaries to entertain guests, and very people can enter the place.
"Brother, where are we going next?" Fang Yuan raised his head and looked at Fang Jing and asked.
"Let's go to Chuzhou, didn't we see Yueyang Tower just now? We'll go to see the Yellow Crane Tower in a while, and it's also good there. Fang Jing took the little girl and said as she walked, her pace was gentle, and she looked like she was walking and seeing.
"Brother, do we still want to take a boat? Can you stop taking the boat? It's boring to sit on a boat. Fang Yuan was eating an oil cake in his hand, and he didn't forget to say it in his mouth.
"Okay, listen to you, you are the biggest now, and my brother will listen to you, so I won't take the boat." Fang Jing also smiled and promised this little girl.
Thinking about yesterday's trip to the Yangtze River, the little girl was a little emotional, she had nothing to do all day, and she had nothing to eat or drink, which was naturally boring for the little baby.
After Fang Jing took the little girl out of Yuezhou City, she got into a small piece of weedy woodland, took Fang Yuan into the sky, and walked along the Yangtze River towards Chuzhou.
As the most prosperous city in the middle and upper reaches of the Yangtze River, Fang Jing must take Fang Yuan to see, although the Tang Dynasty has a wide area, but the population is pitifully small, at least Fang Jing feels that there are too few people, compared to the previous life, that is, one heaven and one underground.
From the early Tang Dynasty to the present two years of Zhenguan, the population is only 10 million, less than 20 million, you can imagine how big and vast the wilderness is.
"Little sister, there are Chuzhou City and Ezhou City, you see, the building by the river is the Yellow Crane Tower, isn't it beautiful?" Fang Jing and the siblings stood in the sky and pointed to the two big cities built along the banks of the Yangtze River in the distance.
"Brother, how come there are two cities together, is that the Yellow Crane Tower? Let's go down and see. Fang Yuan looked into the distance and said.
With the brother and sister quickly fell to the ground and walked towards the city gate, the brother and sister really looked like a rural person entering the city for the first time, turning their heads to look around, although there was really nothing to see in this Tang Dynasty, but Fang Jing was just curious, why two cities were built across the river, which was obviously not in line with the understanding of normal people.
Yellow Crane Tower, originally located on the edge of the Yangtze River, the Yellow Crane Tower of later generations was built in 1957 when the Wuchang Bridge occupied the original site, in 1981 when it was rebuilt before moving to the top of the Snake Mountain on the south bank of the Yangtze River, itself built this building is only for the military, and after the Tang and Song dynasties, it is basically only a tourist attraction to visit, of course, what people can remember is that Li Bai's Yellow Crane Tower sent Meng Haoran to Guangling, 'the old man left the Yellow Crane Tower in the west, fireworks in March down to Yangzhou, the lonely sail far away in the blue sky, only to see the Yangtze River skyline flow. ’
The brother and sister climbed the Yellow Crane Tower and looked at the various boats on the riverside dock, all of them, large and small, busy loading and unloading goods, and getting on and off people.
"Brother, do you think it's okay to get a boat in Fangjia Village and row on the river?" Fang Yuan raised his head and looked at Fang Jing and said.
"What do you want, just the small river in Fangjia Village, why do you use a small boat? There are also a lot of snakes and insects by the river, so I am not afraid of being bitten. Fang Jing was a little speechless for Fang Yuan's brain-opening thoughts.
The little girl herself didn't come to see the Yellow Crane Tower, she just came to take a look, but there was no Fang Jing to look at the Yellow Crane Tower, or imagine the thoughts of the ancient sages, although the Yellow Crane Tower at this time was not as large as the scale in the previous life, it was just a small building, and it was a three-and-a-half-story pavilion built on the base of the city wall, not to mention several floors like the Yellow Crane Tower in the previous life.
"Brother, look, there is a fish seller there, and that fish is so big." Fang Yuan pointed to a small boat not far away, and two middle-aged men carried a fish weighing no less than 100 catties and said.
"It's quite big, you can't see such a big fish in Fangjia Village, and you can only see it in the sea." Fang Jing looked in the direction that the little girl was pointing.
"Brother, do you think our family can raise fish? But we don't have a fish pond at home, and if we do, we can raise some fish. Fang Yuan lowered his head and wondered if he could raise some fish at home.
"This is okay, when my brother digs a fish pond and comes out, he can also raise fish, but it will have to be next year." Fang Jing has experience in fish farming.
Fang Jing studied aquaculture in her previous life, although she later left the major, but she did these things completely during her internship, and knew how to breed freshwater fish.
Fang Jing was actually curious in his heart, why two cities should be built on both sides of the Yangtze River here, this is where Fang Jing was curious, Chuzhou is directly northwest of the Yellow Crane Tower, while Ezhou is behind the Yellow Crane Tower, that is, in the southeast, the two cities look across the river, and there is no bridge to cross in the middle, Fang Jing guessed whether it was because of the problem of war that two cities should be built here.
In fact, Fang Jing only guessed a little bit right, the two cities of Chuzhou and Ezhou, looking across the river, and the Yangtze River passing through the two cities, itself is a long-term sight in this history, but the location here is more special.
Canzhou, Hanyang District, Wuhan, built this city of Canzhou is only because of the developed commerce, for more merchants and merchants and slowly developed a city, the city of Ezhou near the river, originally for military purposes, natural commerce can not be concentrated here, this is the development of the city, and the city of Ezhou is more of a gathering place of the clan, if you need to trade, you can only go to the city, of course, Ezhou also has business and trade, but not as prosperous as the city of Canzhou, Ezhou City is not the current Ezhou, but a large area of Wuchang.
Fang Jing's brothers and sisters got off the Yellow Crane Tower, wandering around the streets of Ezhou City at will, all kinds of yards, all kinds of houses, although not as beautiful as the houses in the big city like Chang'an City, but on the side of the Yangtze River, it can be regarded as a scene, the shops on both sides of the street are drenched, the cries are endless, and sometimes there are children chasing through the streets.
"Brother, can you eat that?" Fang Yuan said, pointing to something on a stall.
"It's okay to eat, let's go buy some to eat." Fang Jing took Fang Yuan to the stall.
"Auntie, how much does this cost?" Fang Jing asked the stall owner woman who was about forty years old.
"Guest officer, how many do you want for two pennies a piece?" The woman responded.
"Well, let's have five copies, give it, a total of ten cents." Fang Jing handed the woman ten cents.
"Thank you, guest." The woman divided the food and placed it on two large lotus leaves, wrapped it and handed it to Fang Jing.
"Little sister, give it, this should be delicious." Fang Jing handed a pack to Fang Yuan and shouted for Fang Yuan to eat.
"Brother, it's delicious." Fang Yuan took a bite of food, raised his head and said to Fang Jing with a happy face.
The lotus leaf package is actually not an uncommon thing, it is just a kind of food made by glutinous rice and bean skin, similar to zongzi, after Fang Jing tasted it, the taste is still okay, if you add some bacon, it must be even more delicious, but in this Tang Dynasty, meat is scarce.
