brief introduction

Located in the south of the park, 132 meters east of Yellow Crane Tower and 159 meters southwest of baiyunge. The name of the pavilion comes from a story about "Cui Hao's poem Li Bai's ending" on the Yellow Crane Tower in the prosperous Tang Dynasty. Cui Hao, known as Cui sixun, was a member of sixun during the reign of Emperor Xuanzong of Tang Dynasty. When he came back from the frontier to visit Wuchang, he wrote the seven rhythms "Yellow Crane Tower" on the Yellow Crane Tower. At the beginning of the poem, it is written from the name of Lou. On the background of vast space and long time, it suddenly sets off a sense of permanence and boundlessness. At the same time, it reveals the author's admiration for the ancients' success and failure in his career. The poet who had the ambition to serve his country could not display his talent, so he was in the mood of dying. However, when he turned his eyes to the nearby scenery, he also aroused heavy nostalgia. This writing method of putting things first and closing them later perfectly combines the two realms of imagination and reality.

It is said that Li Bai, the poet with the title of "invincible poetry in fighting wine", soon ascended the Yellow Crane Tower and was intoxicated by the spectacular scenery. He was eager to write a poem. Seeing Cui Hao's poem on the wall, he stopped writing and said the poem "one punch down the Yellow Crane Tower, one kick over parrot island". In front of him, there was a scene. Cui Hao wrote a doggerel with the poem above. He sighed that Cui Hao's poem was so good.

Cui Hao's Yellow Crane Tower, a poem, made Li Bai stop writing. It soon became popular, and the fame of the Yellow Crane Tower spread even further. Not only the building is also known as "Cui's building", Wuhan is known as "the place of white clouds and yellow cranes", Cui Hao is also famous in the poetry world. Yan Yu of the Southern Song Dynasty said in Canglang Shihua: "in Tang Dynasty's seven character poems, Cui Hao's yellow crane tower should be the first."

In 1709, Kong Shangren, a dramatist, poet and stone connoisseur of the Qing Dynasty, came to Wuchang at the invitation of his friends. When touring the Yellow Crane Tower, the old man was most moved by the fact that Cui Hao's poem stopped Li Bai's writing. Obviously, he believed in Cui Hao's masterpiece and admired Li Bai's bearing. He regretted that there was no building commemorating this event in the Yellow Crane Tower Scenic Area, so he decided to name an unknown Pavilion near the tower "pen ending Pavilion" and write poems for it. Kong Shangren wrote in the preface before the poem "title pen shelf Pavilion":

The Yellow Crane Tower is located at the head of huanghuji. Although its name is long, it is obvious in Cui Hao's poems. Li Taibai meets Cui Shi Therefore, it was Cui Zhi's poem that stopped writing, and the name of it appeared in Taibai. The saying of white clouds and yellow cranes is widely spread in later generations As for the ruins of Taibai, there is still a lack of things. I heard that there was Taibai hall in the old days, with a corridor leading to the downstairs, which is very large. Now it is changed into a pavilion Tourists pass through the steps, and I don't know why. Yu wandered under the pavilion and read all the poems of modern people. Because his mouth occupied four unique places and his book was pink, he drew up the name of the pavilion in front of the poem to make up for this deficiency.

Since then, some people have made too many Deputy Pavilion couplets. Among them, there are anonymous ones such as "the Xin family has a building, who can drink wine; the relegated immortal has stopped writing my poem"; Fang Xiuqing's "who calls you to ask the moon; dare to invite du to write a poem together"; Shen Yongzeng's "the immortal has a building, and I don't know where he has come to live for 12 years; although the Imperial Academy has put away his writing, he still hopes to write a poem here." In addition, there is Chen zengwang's couplet "Taibai without poetry, has become eternal hate; Chang'an is not seen, to a higher level.". The most famous one should be said to be written by Wu Mingshi in the Qing Dynasty, "two people write poems at the end of the pen for generations; Linjiang swallow Han Dynasty, three Chu first floor.".

In the summer of Qingjiang, Chen Benli's "notes on the places of interest of the Yellow Crane Tower" recorded: "there are two pavilions in the east of the Yellow Crane Tower (the Yellow Crane Tower), one is the pen ending Pavilion, which was originally named Taibai hall. Double eaves cover Road, public and private Yan tour place The pavilion is also a place for scholars to sing. There are two poems about the pen ending Pavilion in the new edition of poems and Fu on couplets inscribed on the Yellow Crane Tower in 1879. One of them is Liu Zhuo's Huang He Lou Wang Ran Bi Ting Zhu Sheng, and the other is Peng Songyu's he Gan Chen Jun men Bian ran Bi ting. Peng Songyu said in his poem:

Who constructs this Pavilion when the pen ends? The fool says when the dream will wake up.

Forget to fight, poetry invincible, upright flower tube does not work.

Catch the moon, he Zengjiang see, fall plum fight, fear flute listen.

Clear Lai like rafters, net sweep clouds to see the sun and stars.

This pavilion was destroyed by war during the reign of Tongzhi in the Qing Dynasty.

Historical evolution

In 1984, when planning the Yellow Crane Tower Garden and cultural scenic spot, the designer naturally thought of the beautiful talk of "pen ending", which reflected the "literati blind date", and decided to rebuild the pen ending Pavilion.

The pen shelf Pavilion, rebuilt in April 1991, is 8.5 meters long, 8.25 meters wide and 8.72 meters high. It has a reinforced concrete wood stone structure and 12 thick bronze columns with a height of 3 meters and a circumference of 1 meter. In the middle of the pavilion, there is a long stone case, on which there are graphite inkstone and pen holder, and four stone waist drum stools. The couplets on the pillars of the pavilion are connected with the old couplet for Taibai hall drawn up by Zeng Yandong, the magistrate of Jiangxia county during the Jiaqing period of the Qing Dynasty. It is written by Cao Yu, a dramatist from Qianjiang, Hubei Province, who was then chairman of the China Federation of literary and art circles. The line style of the pavilion name was rewritten by the poet Zang Kejia.
