<p>It's worth noting that in ancient Chinese, words are read from right to left. Like here, "江山入画", not "画入山江". You can find examples in many places in China.</p>

<p>I am having a hard time trying to identify a character inscribed on this gate at the Yellow Crane Tower.</p>

<p><a href="https://i.sstatic.net/xvNCP.png" rel="nofollow noreferrer"><img src="https://i.sstatic.net/xvNCP.png" alt="enter image description here"></a></p>

<p>I think I have been able to identify the other three characters (入山江). 
So the character I'd like to have identified is the character to the left.</p>
