Qiufeng Tower is the most beautiful tower I've ever seen.

How can I describe my first impression of Qiufeng Tower? I was speechless. It was so beautiful that I stared at it for a long time, reluctant to leave. I really envy those who can climb the tower! “Autumn winds rise, white clouds fly, grass and trees wither, geese fly south. Orchids are elegant, chrysanthemums are fragrant, I miss my beloved and can't forget her. Sailing boats on the Fen River, crossing the currents, raising white waves. Drums and flutes play, oarsmen sing, joy is extreme, sorrow abounds. Youth is fleeting, how can we resist old age?” Emperor Wu of Han wrote the famous "Autumn Wind Ode" after his only autumnal sacrifice to Houtu, while boating on the Fen River and feasting with his ministers. Perhaps the bleak autumn wind always evokes sadness. Even the revered Emperor Wu couldn't help but lament the fleeting nature of life and its regrets. But an emperor's regrets always carry more weight than those of ordinary people. Qiufeng Tower was built to preserve the two steles inscribed with the "Autumn Wind Ode." Qiufeng Tower is the centerpiece of the Wanrong Houtu Temple. The original construction date is unknown, but it first appeared in Ming Dynasty records. The existing structure is believed to have been relocated during the Qing Dynasty. Standing 32.6m tall, with three visible stories and five in total, it features a cross-gabled roof. From afar, its shape is intricate and complex, yet perfectly symmetrical, with a rare color scheme. Honestly, I can hardly believe that this ancient and vigorous structure was actually rebuilt during the Qing Dynasty. From its name to its structure, everything about this tower is intertwined with Emperor Wu of Han. The 28 hanging pillars represent the 28 generals of Emperor Wu's Yuntai. The 36 projecting eaves symbolize the 36 brothers of Wagang Village at the end of the Sui Dynasty. The 108 glazed warrior figures represent the 108 heroes of Liangshan. Like the Feiyun Tower, four central pillars reach the top of the tower, supporting the structure along with 32 wooden pillars arranged in a grid pattern. It also features intricate and varied brackets, but unlike the majestic Feiyun Tower, the upturned eaves of Qiufeng Tower feel lighter, as if suspended in mid-air by the wind. The wind-watching bird on the roof moves with the wind, perfectly complementing the Qiufeng Tower. If, at this moment, there were geese flying south, it would be a truly picturesque scene!
