Today, let's unveil the mystery of the Guanque Tower together and explore the mystery of its culture, economy, politics and social changes. Guanque Tower, a place where stories are hidden in a name. It was built in the Northern Zhou Dynasty and was named after the frequent storks. It is not only a practical military building, but also an excellent place for literati to look far away and express their feelings. During the Tang and Song Dynasties, it became a center of cultural exchange, especially Wang Zhihuan's "Climbing the Guanque Tower", which made this building famous all over the world and became an important symbol of poetic culture. However, in the war of Jin and Yuan Dynasties, the Guanque Tower was destroyed and only the site was left for people to mourn. Until modern times, after many efforts, the Guanque Tower was rebuilt and stood on the bank of the Yellow River again. It not only reproduced the glory of Tang Dynasty architecture, but also carried a profound historical and cultural heritage. Its rise and fall is a microcosm of ancient Chinese history, reflecting the inheritance and innovation of culture, the prosperity and decline of economy, the change and stability of politics, and the turmoil and peace of society.
