"The Soul of the Yellow River"

On the east bank of the west side of the ancient city of Puzhou, Yongji City, Shanxi,

The building is spectacular,

The compact structure imitation Tang architecture,

Named in Laurel Tower.

Far in the Tang Dynasty more than 1300 years ago,

The Queque Building is to climb high,

The place where the Yellow River is soothing.

Wang Zhizheng, a great poet of the Tang Dynasty

It is here to forget the landscape and chanting poetry.

In his "Deng Xun Tower" that has been circulating for thousands of years,

Wang Zhizheng described the vast view of the Yellow River.

During the day, the Yellow River flows into the sea.

For thousands of miles, go to the next level.

Wang Zhizheng is from Jinyang, Shanxi,

When he was a teenager, he was hearty,

Often fencing sorrowful songs,

Not in 704 AD,

16 -year -old Wang Zhizheng traveled to the north,

Pass Puzhou,

Only to have this masterpiece.

Puzhou, formerly known as Pasaka, is located in the traffic leader at the junction of Jin, Shaanxi, and Yu. More than 4,000 years ago, Shun led his subjects to move along the Fenhe River to Mu Ban. In the first year of the Northern Zhouwu Cheng year in 559 AD, Poazaka was renamed Puzhou.

At the beginning of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, the devout Buddhist Yu Wen was ordered to guard Puzhou. According to the "Puzhou Prefecture" records, Yu Wenhu fell in love with the pavilion and built the Tuokou Tower on the Yellow River.

In 1251 AD, Genghis Khan's 50,000 Mongolian Iron Rider set foot in the Central Plains. The agricultural civilization and nomadic civilization met in the Yellow River Basin. The Central Plains culture and grassland culture collided here.

The destruction and reconstruction of the Queque Tower shows that the blending of farming civilization and nomadic civilization in the Yellow River Basin is a kind of manifestation of the soul of the Yellow River. It created the endless vitality of Chinese civilization, and interpreted the Chinese nation from one glory to another in the continuous challenges.
