the 1st floor

    The 1st floor has an inner height of over 12 meters. On entering the hall, visitor will see two pillars standing from the ground to the ceiling. A couplet on the pillars reads :“A refreshing current comes from the west, the clouds and mists sweeping of all regrets in the universe; The great river running to the east, the waves and billows washing away all sorrows through the ages.” Each of the upper and lower couplets is as long as 10 meters. The couplet is inscribed by Wu Zuoren, President of Central Academy of Fine Arts as well as a famous calligrapher and painter. On the wall facing the entrance is a mural painting measuring 9 by 6 meters and made of 756 enameled pieces, with the name “White Clouds and Yellow Crane”. The picture is characterized by a heavenly, romantic and fanciful atmosphere. The entrance-facing wall of the inner hall is embedded with a wood inscription that introduces the history of the Yellow Crane Tower in concise prose and elegant calligraphy.
    A balcony-like veranda halfway up the first floor has an exhibition of the painting and calligraphy works of some earlier contemporary celebrities, together with some tablets inscribed with the relevant historical literature. A reception room is also included in the veranda.
