Ride a crane up to the state, and the answer is "rein". The detailed discussion is as follows:

1. The structure of this word is very ingenious, which consists of four words: horse, Joe, long and rein. Among them, "horse" stands for riding, because riding is a common mode of transportation; "Joe" stands for Gao, because Yangzhou is a city with a long history and culture.

2. Long means far, because Yangzhou is located in the middle of Jiangsu Province, which is far away from Shanghai, Nanjing and other cities. "rein" stands for control, because riding a horse needs a rein to control the direction and speed of the horse.

3. In addition, there is an interesting story in this riddle. According to legend, in ancient times, there was a poet named Li Bai who liked riding cranes to travel around the world very much. Once, he rode a white crane to Yangzhou City. When he saw the beautiful scenery of the city, he couldn't help but sigh: "Riding a crane up the state is also a fairyland on earth!" Since then, this sentence has become a famous saying to describe the beauty of Yangzhou.

the development of riddles

1. The development of riddles can be traced back to ancient folk activities and literary forms. As early as the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, people began to entertain and enlighten their thinking by guessing riddles. According to legend, Confucius once said, "Knowing is knowing, not knowing is not knowing, and knowing is also." This sentence is also regarded as a form of riddle by later generations.

2. In ancient times, riddles were usually combined with folk literature and poems to become a literary form. For example, there is a riddle of "Zi has the ambition of all directions" in Zuo Zhuan, and some riddles are also included in The Book of Songs. These riddles are usually simple, with objects or phenomena as the answers, described in concise language, and let people guess.

3. With the development of society, riddles have gradually developed into an independent literary form called "lantern riddles". Lantern riddles first appeared in the Sui and Tang Dynasties, when they appeared as entertainment programs in festivals such as the Lantern Festival. By the Ming and Qing Dynasties, riddles had become very popular and became a way of mass entertainment.

4. In modern times, the forms and contents of riddles are more diversified. In addition to the traditional object riddles, there are crossword puzzles, idiom riddles, animal riddles and so on. The difficulty of riddles has also greatly increased, and people need to use all kinds of knowledge and skills to guess the answers.
