Introduction to Sifeng Tower: Sifeng Tower is located between Xiyuan and the county government office. It is a three-story wooden structure tower building. The building was built in the Song Dynasty. It is 20 meters high, with three stacks and eight corners, and a total of 24 cornices. The building's exquisite carvings, gorgeous paintings, and exquisite and smooth architectural craftsmanship make it the most famous building in the Three Jin Dynasties. According to legend, Xun Miao was appointed magistrate of Yuci County during the Xianning period of the Western Jin Dynasty. He was deeply loved by the people because of his diligence, love for the people, and effective governance. In June of the second year of Xianning, a group of large birds suddenly gathered in Yuci, so people called Yuci "Fengcheng". Hundreds of years later, when Wen Yanbo, a famous scholar in the Song Dynasty, was the county magistrate in Yu, he built the Sifeng Tower next to the county government office in order to commemorate his ancestors and inspire himself. Therefore, when looking at the eaves and corners of the building from all angles, it looks like a phoenix spreading its wings and about to fly, and the name Sifeng Tower spread from there. The Sifeng Tower we see today was rebuilt in recent years. The two sages in the couplet in front of the building are what the two sages in the couplet in front of the building say: "The people think of good governance, the phoenix sits on the phoenix tree, the two dynasties, the phoenix tree, the 100 generations, the official is honest, the Minglong lies on the Qingyun on the first floor, and the two sages are through the ages." Xun Miao and Wen Yanbo.
