The Yellow Crane Tower is one of the Four Great Towers in China. It stands along the Yangtze River and overlooks Wuhan City in Hubei Province. Many poets, including Cui Hao and Li Bai, have written famous poems about the tower. Legend has it that the tower was built in honor of a Taoist immortal.

In ancient times, there was a man named Xin who ran a small tavern. One day, a man in ragged clothes came and asked him for a bowl of wine. Mr. Xin did not look down on the man because of his appearance and offered him a large bowl of liquor without charge.
