How did vicissitudes get its name?

The Zhaomingtai, which stands at the southern end of the antique North Street in Xiangcheng, is unknown when it will be built. Xiao Tong, Prince Zhaoming, was born in Xiangyang, hence the name Zhaomingtai.

The architectural form and name of Zhaomingtai have undergone many changes. Li Yunfen's poem "Gaozhai", a dream of the twelfth year of Qing Qianlong, said: "The ancient wind of Gaozhai cultural relics prevented Japanese skyscrapers from reaching the top.

I heard that the monument was changed before the court, and no one went to Zhennan Tower. "

"Gaozhai" should be the name of Liang; When the name of "Gu Lou" is named remains to be verified; Xiangyang was divided into Shannan East Road in Tang Dynasty. Is "Zhennan Building" a metaphor for "Shannan East Road Building" because of the limitation of the poem name?

In fact, in history, "Wenxuan Building" has attracted more attention. In the Song Dynasty, a building named Wenxuan Building was built on the platform, which still existed in the Yuan and Ming Dynasties. In the Ming dynasty, bells and drums were placed on the stage, which was called "Bell and Drum Tower" for short.

At the end of the Ming Dynasty, the building was destroyed by fire. In the early years of Shunzhi in Qing Dynasty, the imperial censor Zhao rebuilt the capital, and the building on the stage was a double-eaved building that rested on the top of the mountain. It is still called "Ancient Zhaomingtai" with an inscription on it. Until the middle of last century.

In the 1920s and 1930s, some essays were published in literary magazines, which left us with some characteristics of Zhaomingtai at that time. For example, 1935 wrote: "There is an ancient Zhaomingtai in the city, which is said to be the place where Prince Liang Zhaoming studied. Now it has become a library in northern Hubei ... The Drum Tower (commonly known as Zhaomingtai) is very high, because it is in the city center, so you can see the north and south at a glance after going up. There is a hole downstairs called Drum Tower Cave ... "

After the July 7th Incident, anti-Japanese bonfires spread all over the country. The buildings on Zhaomingtai were destroyed in the war of 1940. At 1973, the east side of the platform collapsed due to long-term rain immersion. In order to ensure safety, Zhaomingtai was completely dismantled.

Changshu also has a Zhaoming desk called "Zhaoming Reading Desk". There are Zhaomingtai in Xiangyang and Changshu because of Zhaoming Prince Xiao Tong. Xiao Tong is famous not because he is a prince, nor because of his poems. Xiao Tong's poems have no special features. It is a 30-volume Selected Works (also called Zhaoming Selected Works) edited and edited by him, which makes his literary name stay in future generations. Selected Works is the earliest extant collection of poems and essays in China. Since the Sui and Tang Dynasties, scholars have attached great importance to the study of Wenxuan, and formed a special knowledge, which is called Wenxuan for short. There are too many Crown Princes in the history of China, and Selected Works is the only one. The anthology was not circulated because of the prince, but the real prince was famous for it.
