女士们、先生们：

我叫王溦嘉，大家叫我小王就行了。今天有幸陪同大家一道参观，我感到很高兴。这里就是闻名世界的故宫博物馆，简称为故宫，就是昔日的皇家宫殿。

北京故宫位于北京市中心，是明清两代的皇宫，又称为“紫禁城”(历代宫殿都象“象天立宫”，以表示君权“受命于天”)。由于君为天子，天子的宫殿如同天帝居住的“紫宫”禁地，故名“紫禁城”。故宫始建于明永乐四年(1420xx年)，永乐十八年(1420xx年)建成。历经有清两个朝代24个皇帝。故宫规模宏大，西宽750米，南北长960米，占地72万平方米，建筑面积15万多平方米，有房屋9999间，是世界上最大最完整的古代宫殿建筑群。为了突出帝王至高无上的权威，故宫有一条贯穿宫城南北的中轴线，在这条中轴线上，按照“前朝后寝”的古制，布置着帝王发施令，象征政权中心的三大殿(太和殿、中和殿、保和殿)和帝后居住的后三宫(乾清宫、交仄殿、坤宁宫)。在其内廷部分(乾清门以北)，左右各形成一条以太上皇居住的宫殿—宁春宫，和以太妃居住的宫殿—慈寿宫为中心的次要轴线。出于防御的需要，这些宫殿建筑的处围筑有高达10米的宫墙，四周有角楼，外有护城河。

故宫御花园，原名宫后苑，今俗称御花园，占地一万二千平方米。以钦安殿为中心，园林建筑采用主次相辅，左右对称的格局，布局紧凑，古典富丽。殿东北的堆秀山，为太湖石叠砌而成，上筑御景亭，每年重阳节帝后在北登高。

1987年故宫被联合国教科文组织，评定为“世界文化遗产”，是建筑艺术的经典之作。

朋友们，因为时间仓促，这次对故宫的介绍就到此结束。下次有机会再带大家详细的参观。谢谢合作!

大家好!我叫朱芮娴，是你们的导游，今天我将带大家参观故宫博物院，你们可以叫我朱导。

现在我先为大家作个简单介绍一下，故宫是世界上现存规模最大的古代皇家宫殿建筑群，故宫又叫紫禁城。紫是天上君王居住宫殿的颜色，那么人间的帝王当然要与紫字沾边。禁是指当时那里守卫森严，不要说是普通老百姓，即使是高官大员没有皇帝的召见也不能私自入城，否则就会引来杀身之祸，是皇家禁地，所以又称紫禁城，整座城池建成于公元1420xx年，位于天安门广场北侧。 整个院落分为二大部分，即前朝和后寝。前朝是皇帝举行盛大典礼的地方，以太和殿、中和殿、保和殿及东西两侧的文华殿及武英殿为主。后寝是皇帝及后妃、未成年的子嗣们居住的地方，主要以乾清宫、交泰殿、坤宁宫及东西六宫为主。除此之外，故宫内还有很多其它各式各样、用途不一的大小宫殿。据说当年紫禁城共有宫殿九千九百九十九间半，够多吧! 1920xx年孙中山先生领导的辛亥革命推翻了中国长达两千多年的封建社会。1920xx年清帝退位。1920xx年10月10日故宫博物院首次对外开放。1949年新中国成立后先后多次对故宫进行修缮，使它更加壮丽辉煌。1987年北京故宫被联合国教科文组织列入《世界遗产名录》。

大家请看，故宫四周有的紫工色的宫墙，它高约10米，长约3.5公里。高墙四面都建有高大的城门，南为午门即故宫正门。北为神武门，城墙四隅各矗立着一座风格独特、造型绮丽的角楼。宫墙外围着一条宽为52米的护城河，使故宫成为一座壁垒森严的城堡。

接下来，大家随我一起去看看最富丽堂皇的建筑，被告称为金銮殿的太和殿。这是皇帝举行大典的地方，大家往里看，大殿高28米，东西宽63米，南北长35米，这里有直径达1米的大柱92根，围绕御座的6根大柱叫蟠龙柱，是用沥粉金漆做成的。在我们正前方就是皇帝的专座御座，设在殿内高2米的台上，前有造型美观的仙鹤、炉、鼎，宝座是镀金的，扶手是镀银的，4个香炉是用香木做的，可谓是富丽堂皇。后面有精雕细刻的围屏。整个大殿装饰得金碧辉煌，庄严绚丽。

参观完了太和殿，大家再随我往后走，一起去看看中和殿和保和殿。这三个殿构造大相径庭，中和殿是皇帝去太和殿举行大典前稍事休息和演习礼仪的地方。保和殿是皇帝宴请外蕃王公贵族和京中文武大臣之处。保和殿最让人惊叹的是殿后有一块石雕。石雕长16.57米，宽3.07米，厚1.7米，有200多吨重。上面雕着波涛汹涌的大海，腾云驾雾的飞龙。听到这儿，大家不禁想说故宫真不愧为中国宝贵的文化遗产呀!

在故宫博物院里收藏着大量珍贵文物，据统计总共达1052653件之多，占全国文物总数的1/6，其中有很多件是绝无仅有的国宝。在几个宫殿中设立了历代艺术馆、珍宝馆、钟表馆等，爱好艺术的人可以去自由观赏一下，以加深了解故宫。

好了，我的讲解到此结束，请大家自由参观，记得要注意卫生，除了照片，你什么也别带走;除了身影，你什么也别留下。11时在这保和殿门前集合，可别耽误哟!

故宫英文导游词

forbidden city(紫禁城)

(in front of the meridian gate)

ladies and gentlemen:

i am pleased to serve as your guide today.

this is the palace museum; also know as the purple forbidden city. it is the largest and most well reserved imperial residence in china today. under ming emperor yongle, construction began in 1406. it took 14years to build the forbidden city. the first ruler who actually lived here was ming emperor zhudi. for five centuries thereafter, it continued to be the residence of23 successive emperors until 1911 when qing emperor puyi was forced to abdicate the throne .in 1987, the united nations educational, scientific and cultural organization recognized the forbidden city was a world cultural legacy.

it is believed that the palace museum, or zi jin cheng (purple forbidden city), got its name from astronomy folklore, the ancient astronomers divided the constellations into groups and centered them around the ziwei yuan(north star). the constellation containing the north star was called the constellation of heavenly god and star itself was called the purple palace. because the emperor was supposedly the son of the heavenly gods, his central and dominant position would be further highlighted the use of the word purple in the name of his residence. in folklore, the term ”an eastern purple cloud is drifting” became a metaphor for auspicious events after a purple cloud was seen drifting eastward immediately before the arrival of an ancient philosopher, laozi, to the hanghu pass. here, purple is associated with auspicious developments. the word jin (forbidden) is self-explanatory as the imperial palace was heavily guarded and off-explanatory as the imperial palace was heavily guarded and off-limits to ordinary people.

the red and yellow used on the palace walls and roofs are also symbolic. red represents happiness, good fortune and wealth. yellow is the color of the earth on the loess plateau, the original home of the chinese people. yellow became an imperial color during the tang dynasty, when only members of the royal family were allowed to wear it and use it in their architecture.

the forbidden city is rectangular in shape. it is 960 meters long from north to south and 750 meter wide from east west. it has 9,900 rooms under a total roof area 150,000 square meters .a 52-meter-wide-moat encircles a 9.9-meter—high wall which encloses the complex. octagon —shaped turrets rest on the four corners of the wall. there are four entrances into the city: the meridian gate to the south, the shenwu gate(gate of military prowess) to the north, and the xihua gate(gate of military prowess) to the north, and the xihua gate(western flowery gate )to the west ,the donghua (eastern flowery gate) to the east.

manpower and materials throughout the country were used to build the forbidden city. a total of 230,000 artisans and one million laborers were employed. marble was quarried from fangshan country mount pan in jixian county in hebei province. granite was quarried in quyang county in hebei province. paving blocks were fired in kilns in suzhou in southern china. bricks and scarlet pigmentation used on the palatial walls came from linqing in shandong province .timber was cut ,processed and hauled from the northwestern and southern regions.

the structure in front of us is the meridian gate. it is the main entrance to the forbidden city. it is also knows as wufenglou(five-phoenix tower). ming emperors held lavish banquets here on the 15th day of the first month of the chinese lunar year in hornor of their counties .they also used this place for punishing officals by flogging them with sticks.

qing emperors used this building to announce the beginning of the new year. qing emperor qianglong changed the original name of this announcement ceremony from ban li(announcement of calendar)to ban shou(announcement of new moon )to avoid coincidental association with another emperor` s name, hongli, which was considered a taboo at that time. qing dynasty emperors also used this place to hold audience and for other important ceremonies. for example,when the imperial army returned victoriously from the battlefield ,it was here that the emperor presided over the ceremony to accept prisoners of war.

(after entering the meridian gate and standing in front of the five marble bridges on golden water river)

now we are inside the forbidden city.before we start our tour, i would like to briefly introduce you to the architectural patterns befour us .to complete this solemn, magnificent and palatial complex, a variety of buildings were arranged on a north-south axis, and 8-kilometer-long invisible line that has become an inseparable part of the city of beijing. the forbidden city covers roughly one –third of this central axis. most of the important building in the forbidden city weree arranged along this line. the design and arrangement of the palaces reflect the solemn dignity of the royal court and rigidly –stratified feudal system.

the forbidden city is divided into an outer and an inner count.we are now standing on the southernmost part of the outer count. in front of us lies the gate of supreme harmony .the gate is guarded by a pair of bronze lions ,symbolizing imperial power and dignity. the lions were the most exquisite and biggest of its kind. the one on the east playing with a ball is a male, and ball is said to represent state unity. the other one is a female. underneath one of its fore claws is a cub that is considered to be a symbol of perpetual imperial succession. the winding brook before us is the golden water river. it functions both as decoration and fire control .the five bridges spanning the river represent the five virtues preached by confucius :benevolence, righteousness, rites, intellence and fidelity. the river takes the shape of a bow and the north-south axis is its arrow. this was meant to show that the emperors ruled the country on behalf of god.

(in front of the gate of supreme harmony)

the forbidden city consists of an outer countyard and an inner enclosure. the out count yard covers a vast space lying between the meridian gate and the gate of heavenly purity. the “three big halls” of supreme harmony, complete harmony and preserving harmony constitute the center of this building group. flanking them in bilateral symmetry are two groups of palaces: wenhua (prominent scholars) and wuying (brave warriors) . the three great halls are built on a spacious “h”-shaped, 8-meter-high, triple marble terrace, each level of the triple terrace is taller than the on below and all are encircled by marble balustrades carved with dragon and phoenix designs. there are three carved stone staircases linking the three architectures .the hall of supreme harmony is also the tallest and most exquisite ancient wooden-structured mansion in all of china. from the palace of heavenly purith northward is what is known as the inner court, which is also built in bilaterally symmetrical patterns. in the center are the palace of heavenly purity, the hall of union and peace and palace of earthly tranquility, a place where the emperors lived with their families and attended to state affairs. flanking these structures are palaces and halls in which concubines and princes lived. there are also three botanical gardens within the inner count, namely, the imperial garden, caning garden and quailing garden. an inner golden water river flows eastwardly within the inner court. the brook winds through three minor halls or palaces and leads out of the forbidden city. it is spanned by the white jade bridge. the river is lined with winding, marble –carved balustrades. most of the structures within the forbidden city have yellow glazed tile roofs.

aside from giving prominence to the north-south axis, other architectural methods were applied to make every group of palatial structures unique in terms of terraces, roofs, mythical monsters perching on the roofs and colored, drawing patterns. with these, the grand contour and different hierarchic spectrum of the complex were strengthened. folklore has it that there are altogether 9,999 room-units in the forbidden city. since paradise only has 10,000 rooms, the son of heaven on earth cut the number by half a room. it is also rumoured that this half –room is located to the west of the wenyuange pavilion (imperial library). as a matter of fact, although the forbidden city has more than 9,000 room-units, this half-room is nonexistent .the wenyuange pavilion is a library where “si ku quan shu”- china `s first comprehensive anthology-was stored.

(after walking past the gate of supreme harmony)

ladies and gentlemen, the great hall we are approaching is the hall of supreme harmony, the biggest and tallest of its king in the forbidden city. this structure covers a total building space of 2,377 square meters, and is know for its upturned, multiple counterpart eaves . the hall of supreme harmony sits on a triple “h”-shaped marble terrace the is 8meters high and linked by staircases. the staircase on the ground floor has 21 steps while the middle and upper stairways each have 9.

the construction of the hall of supreme harmony began in 1406. it burned down three times and was severely damaged once during a mutiny. the existing architecture was built during the qing dynasty. on the corners of the eaves a line of animal-nails were usually fastened to the tiles. these animal-nails were later replace with mythical animals to ward off evil spirits. there are altogether 9 such fasteners on top of this hall. the number nine was regarded by the ancients to be the largest numeral accessible to man and to which only the emperors were entitled.

there was a total of 24 successive emperors during the ming and qing dynasties who were enthroned here. the ball was also used for ceremonies which marked other great occasions: the winter solstice, the chinese lunar new year, the emperor` s birthday, conferral of the title of empress, the announcement of new laws and policies, and dispatches of generals to war .on such occasions, the emperor would hold audience for his court officials and receive their tributes.

this area is called the hall of supreme harmony square, which covers a total of 30,000 square meters, without a single tree or plant growing here, this place inspires visitors to feel its solemnity and grandeur. in the middle of the square there is a carriageway that was reserved for the emperor. on both sides of the road the groud bricks were laid in a special way seven layers lengthwise and eight layers crosswise, making up fifteen layers in all. the purpose of this was to prevent anyone from tunneling his way into the palace. in the count yard there are iron vats for storing water to fight fires. in the whole complex there are altogher 308 water vats. in wintertime, charcoal was burned underneath the vats to keep the water from freezing .why so vast a square? it was designed to impress people with the hall` s grandeur and vastness. imagine the following scene. under the clear blue sky, the yellow glazed tiles shimmered as the cloud-like layers of terrace, coupled with the curling veil of burning incense, transformed the hall of supreme harmony into a fairyland. whenever major ceremonies were held, the glazed, crane-shaped candleholders inside the hall would be it, and incense and pine branches burnt in front of the hall. when the emperor appeared, drums were beaten and musical instrument played. civilian officials and generals would kneel know in submission.

the last qing emperor puyi assumed the throne in 1908, at the age of three, his father carried him to the throne. at the start of the coronation, the sudden drum-beating and loud music caught the young emperor unprepared .he was so scared that he kept crying and shouting,”i don’t want to stay here. i want to go home.” his father tried to soothe him, saying, ”it` all soon be finished .it` all soon be finished ”the ministers present at the event considered this incident inauspicious. coincidentally, the qing dynasty collapsed three years later and there with concluded china `s feudal system that had lasted for more than 2,000 years.

(on the stone terrace of the hall of supreme harmony)

this is a bronze incense burner. in it incense made of sandalwood would be burnt on important occasions. there are altogether 18 incense burners, representing all of the provinces under the rule of the sing monarchs. on either side of the hall, 4 bronze water-filled vats were placed in case of fire. next to the terrace on either side, there is a bronze crane and tortoise, symbols of longevity. this copper-cast grain measure is called ”jialiang.” it served as the national standard during the qing dynasty. it was meant to show that the imperial ruler were just and open to rectification. on the other side there is a stone sundial, an ancient timepiece. the jialiang and the sundial were probably meant to show what the emperor represented: that he was the only person who should possess the standards of both measure and time.

in the very forefront of the hall of supreme harmony , there are 12 scarlet , round pillars supporting the roof. the hall is 63 meters from east to west and 37 meters from north to south, it is 35 meters in height. in front of this architechture, there stands a triple terrace with five staircases leading up to the main entrance .it has 40 gold doors and 16 gold-key windows with colored drawings on the pillars and beams. in the middle of the hall, a throune carved with 9 dragons sits on a 2-meter-high platform. behind the throne there is a golden screen and in front of it, there is a imperial desk . the flanks are decorated with elephants, luduan(a legendary beast), cranes, and incense barrels. the elephant carries a vase on its back that holds five cereals(i. e. rice, two kinds of millet, wheat and beans),which was considered a symbol of prosperity. as ancient legend has it that luduan can travel 18,000 li (9,000 kilometers )in one day and knows all languages and dialects. only to a wise adjust monarch will this beast be a guardian.

the hall of supreme harmony is also popularly known as jinluan dian (gold bell hall or the throne hall). the floor of the hall is laid with bricks that turn it into a smooth, fine surface as if water has been sprinkled on it .the so-called golden brick, in fact, has nothing to do with gold. reserved exclusively for the construction of the royal court, it was made in a secretive, and complex way, and, when struck, sounds like the clink of a gold bar. each brick was worth the market price of one dan (or one hectoliter ) of rice.

the hall is supported by a total of 72 thick pillars .of these, 6 are carved in dragon patterns and painted with gold and surround the throne. above the very center of this hall there is a zaojing, or covered ceiling, which is one of the specialities of china `s ancient architure. in the middle of the ceiling is a design of a dragon playing with a ball inlaid with peals. this copper ball, hollow inside and covered with mercury, is known as the xuanyuan mirror and is thought to be made xuanyuan, a legendary monarch dating back to remote antiquity. the placing of the caisson above the throne is meant to suggest that all of china` s successive emperors are zuanyuan` s descendants and hereditary heirs. now you might have noticed that the xuanyuan mirror is not directly above the throne. why? it is rumored that yuan shikai, a self-acclaimed warlord-turned emperor moved the throne further back because he was afraid that the mirror might fall on him .in 1916 when yuan shikai became emperor, he removed the original throne with a western-style, high-back chair. after the foundation of the people` s republic of china in 1949 the throne was found in a shabby furniture warehouse. it repaired and returned to the hall.

(leading the tourist to the bronze vats either on the east or the west)

the water vats in front of the palaces or house were called “menhai,” or sea before the door by the ancient chinese. they believed that with a sea by the door, fire could not wreak havoc. the vats served both as a decoration and as a fire extinguisher. they were kept full of water all year round.

during the qing dynasty, they were altogether 308 vats in the palace enclosure. they were made of gilt bronze or iron. of couse, the gilt bronze vats were of the best quality. when the allied forces (britain, germany, france, russia, the united states, italy, japan and austria) invaded beijing in 1900 under the pretext of suppressing the boxer rebellion, the invaders ransacked the imperial compound and scraped and gold off the vats with their bayonets. during the japanese occupation of beijing, many vats were trucked away by the japanese to be made into bullets .

(in front of the hall of complete harmony)

the square architecture before us is called the hall of complete harmony. it served as an antechamber. the emperor came here to meet with his countiers and add his final touches to the prayers which would be read at the ancestral temple. the seeds, snowers and prayer intended for spring sowing were also examined here. the two qing sedan chairs here on display were used for traveling within the palace during the reign of emperor qianlong.

(in front of the hall f preserving harmony)

this is the hall of preserving harmony. during the qing dynasty, banquets were held here on new year` s eve in honour of mongolian and northwestern china` s xingjiang princes and ranking officials. the emperor also dinned here with his new son-in-law on the wedding day. imperial examinations were also held here once every three years. during the ming and qing dynasties, there were three levels of exams: the county and prefectural level, the provincial level and national level. the national exam was presided over by the emperor. the civil service exam in ancient china started during the han dynasty. it served the purpose of recruiting confucian scholars to the ministers and high officials. during the tang and qing dynasties reinstituted and ancient system. once every three years, three hundred scholars from all over the country came to beijing and took exams for three day and night. this system was abolished in 1905.

(behind the hall of preserving harmony)

this is the largest stone carving in the palace . it is 16.73 meters long, 3.07 meters wide and 1.7 meters thick .it weighs about 200 tons. the block was quarried in fangshan county, roughly 70 kilometers away. to transport such a huge block to beijing, laborers dug wells along the roadside half a kilometer apart, and used the groundwater to make a road of ice in the winter. rolling blocks were used in the summer. in 1760, emperor qianlong of the qing dynasty ordered the carving of the existing cloud and dragon design in place of the old one which dated back to the ming dynasty.

you have seen the three main halls of the forbidden city. now i ` d like to show you around the hall of mental cultivation and the imperial garden . the hall of mental cultivation is situated is in the western part of the innermost enclosure and is symmetrical to fengxian (enshrinement of forebears) hall in the east. this hall was built during the ming dynasty. it is a h-shaped structure consisting of an antechamber and a main building .the hall is surrounded by corridors. in front of the hall is the office of privy council.

before emperor kangxi of qing the dynasty came to power the hall of heavenly purity served as the living quarter of the emperors. emperor yongzheng chose to live in this hall and attended to every day state affairs from here .for the sake of protecting cultural relics, this hall is not open to the public .you can have a look at the inside from the door. the central hall was the audience chamber where the emperor read memorials, granted audience to officials and summoned his minsters for consultation. the western chamber of the hall was where the emperor read reports and discussed military and political affairs. the hall consists of many inner rooms and is decorated with images of buddha and miniature pagodas. on the screen wall there hangs a picture of two emperors in the han costume. in a southern room there three rare calligraphic scrolls, hence the name of the room “sanxitang” (room of three rare treasures) . the room on the eastern side is of historical interst because it was here that empress dowager cixi usurped power and made decisions on behalf of the young emperor . a bamboo curtain was used to separate them .

empress dowage cixi was born in 1835 in lu` an prefecture of shanxi province. she` s of manchurian nationality and her father was a provincial governor from south china. when she was 17 years old ,she was selected to become a concubine of emperor xianfeng and moved into the forbidden city. she gave birth to a son when she was 21years old and was made a concubine the following year. when the emperor passed away in the summer of 1861, her son ascended the throne and title of cixi, meaning “holy mother” was conferred upon her and she became the empress dowager. in that same year empress dowager cixi carried out a count coup d` etat and ruled behind the scenes with another empress dowager, ci` an, for 48 years. she passed away in 1908 at the age of 73. it was in reference to this situation that the term “attending to state affairs behind a bamboo curtain” developed .in 1912 , empress dowager longyu declared the abdication of the last qing emperor puyi. they were allowed to remain in the forbidden city for the next 13 years .the royal family was forced to move out permanently in 1924.

behind the central hall were the living accommodation of 8 successive qing emperors .three of them actually passed away here. the side rooms flanking the hall were reserved for empresses and concubines. now let` s continue with our tour. it will take us to the hall of heavenly purity , the hall of union and peace ,the palace of earthly tranquility, and the imperial garden.

(inside the hall of heavenly purity)

ladies and gentlemen:

we are now entering the inner court. from the gate of heavenly purity northward lies the inner court where the emperors and empresses once lived .the hall of heavenly purity is the central hall of the inner court ,and was completed during the reign of emperor yongle of the ming dynasty. there are 10 pillars supporting the entire structure and the hall is 20 meters in height .in the center of the hall there a throne. above it hangs a plaque with an inscription that reads “be open and above-board,” written by shenzhi,the first emperor of the qing dynasty. beginning with qianlong` s reign, the name of the successor to the throne was not publicly announced .instead, it was written on two pieces of paper, one to be kept on the emperor` s person throughout his reign, and the other placed in a small strongbox that was stored behind his plaque. the box was opened only after the emperor passed away. altogether there where 4 emperors who ascended the throne in this way, namely qianlong, jiaqing, daohuang and xian feng.

the hall of heavenly purity was where the emperors lived during the ming and qing dynasties. according to tradition ,extravagant annual banquets were held here on new year` s eve in honour of royal family members. foreign ambassadors were received here during the late-qing period. two important “one thousand old men` s feasts” of the qing dynasty were also held here. all the invitees had to be at least 65 years of age.

this hall was also used for mourning services.

(inside the palace of union and peace)

this hall sits between the hall of heavenly purity and the palace of earthly tranquility, symbolizing the union of heaven and earth ,as well as national peace .it was first built in 1420 and reconstructed in 1798. the hall is square in shape ,and is smaller than the hall of complete harmony .you will see a plaque here inscribed with two chinese characters, wu wei, which were handwritten by emperor qianglong. a throne sits in the middle of the hall with a screen behind it .above the throne there hangs a caisson ,or covered ceiling. the emperor held birthday celebrations and other major events here.

in 1748 during emperor qianlong` s reign, 25 jade seals representing imperial authority were kept in this hall .no seals were allowed out of the room without the prior consent of the emperor. on each flack there is a water clock and a chiming clock.

(inside the palace of earthly tranquility)

this used to be the central hall where successive ming empresses lived. during the qing dynasty, it was converted into a place where sacrifices and wedding ceremonies were held .the room on the western side was used for sacrifices and the room on the east was the seeding chamber.

(approaching the imperial garden)

behind the palace of earthly tranquility and trading the north-south axis is the imperial garden. there are old trees, rare flowers and exotic rock formation in this garden .it cover a space of 11,700 square meters, or roughly 1.7 percent of the forbidden city. most of the structures in the garden are symmetrically arranged . however, each is different in terms of parrern and decoration. woods clumps of bamboo screen off the garden and strengthens its deep and serene atmosphere.

there main structure of the imperial garden is the qin` an hall. positioned in the central-northern part of the garden ,this hall is flanked by other halls and pavilions on the east and west. the hall sits on a marble pedestal. the taoist deity of zhenwu is enshrined here and emperor would pay homage here a quarterly basis. taoist rites were held during the reign of emperor jiajing of the ming dynasty. in front of the hall there is a cypress that is 400 years old .in all there are a dozen such rare trees in the garden, and most of them are cypresses or pines. to the northwest of the hall , there is the yanhui(sustaining sunshine) pavilion and to the northeast there lies the duixiu (accumulated refinement )hill. this hill was built over the foundation of the long- pershed guanhua (admiring flowers) hall of the ming dynasty. it is 14 meters in height and made of al kinds of rocks quarried in jiang su province. at its base stand two nstone lions, each carrying a dragon shooting water 10 meters up into the air from its mouth. there are meandering paths leading to the hilltop. at the top of duixiu hill sits the yujing (imperial viewing)pavilion. traditionally, on the day of the double ninth festival (the ninth day of the ninth lunar month ), the emperor ,his consort, and his concubines would climb up to yujing pavilion to enjoy the scenery.

at the southeastern corner of the garden is jiangxue(crimson snowy) verandah. nearby to the southwest lies yangxing study (study of the cultivation of nature) .the yangxing study was used as a royal library during the reign of emperor qianlong of the qing dynasty. the last emperor of the qing dynasty, puyi once studied english there. in front of the jiangxue verandah some chinese flowering crabapples grow. the structure got its name from the crabapples who blossoms trun from crimson to snowy white. in front of the verandah, there grows a rare flower that was brought from henna province under the order of empress dowager cixi. in the northest is chizao tang (hall of using flowery language), once used as a library where rare books were stored.

as our tour of the forbidden city draws to a close, i hope that i have helped you understand why the palace is a treasure of china and one of the cultural relics of the world. it is under the strict protection of the chinese government. since 1949 when the people` s rupublic of china was founded, nearly one trillion rmb was spent on its restoration and refurbishment. the forbidden city has undergone four major facelifts to date. each year, the government earmarks a large sum to gather, sort and study cultural relics. the palace now contains a total of 930,000cultural relics. well, so much for today .let` s go to reboard the coach. thank you !

尊敬的游客们!大家好!我是你们今天的导游，大家叫我于导游就行啦。

今天我们将要参观的是北京故宫，大家下车时请保管好随身物品准备下车，请不要随地吐痰，乱扔垃圾，注意安全。这就是故宫，又叫紫禁城，它坐落于北京市中心，为明清两代的皇宫，故宫的建设是以南京故宫为蓝本，从大江南北征调能工巧匠，经历了20xx年的时间才建成了故宫。

请大家走上台阶往下眺望，就可以看见故宫的全景了。故宫的平面是一个正方形，南北长961米，东西宽753米，占地面积约72万多平方米。大家请跟我来看一看四面筑有的城墙，它们周长3428米，墙高7.9米，底部宽8.62米，上部宽6.66米。大家请往上面看，上不外侧筑有雕刻，内侧砌墙宇。大家请随我来，请看墙外有一条宽52米，长380米的护城河环绕，构成完整的防御系统。大家请向东西南北四个方向看，宫城辟有四门，南面有午门是故宫正门，北面有神武门又叫玄武门，东面是东华门，西面是西华门。

大家往前走看到的就是太和殿了，太和殿为故宫第一大殿，俗称金銮宝殿，在北京故宫的中心部位，与中和殿和保和殿合称“故宫三大殿”。太和殿始建于明朝永乐四年，现存建筑是康熙三十四年所修的，明清两代皇帝即位、大婚、册立皇后以及元旦赐宴等大典均在此举行。

今天我们游览就到这，希望大家有时间去细细游赏其他宫殿。

谢谢!

亲爱的游客朋友：

今天，由我带领大家来游览故宫。

故宫位于北京市中心，是明、清两代的皇宫，又称紫禁城。故宫始建于明永乐四年至十八年，也就是现在说的1420xx年至1420xx年。北京故宫为世界五大宫殿之首，其它四殿分别是法国凡尔赛宫、英国白金汉宫、俄罗斯克里姆林宫和美国白宫。 故宫南北长961米，东西宽753米，面积约为725，000平方米。建筑面积15。5万平方米。故宫够大吧!

相传故宫有9999。5间房，有人做过形象比喻：如果有人从刚出生就开始住，要住到27岁才可以住完。实际据1973专家现场测量故宫的房间有8704间。

故宫有四个门，正门名为午门。午门有五个洞。其平面为凹形，宏伟壮丽。午门后有五座精巧的汉白玉拱桥通往太和门。东门名东华门，西门名西华门，北门名神武门。故宫的四个城角都有精巧玲珑的角楼，角楼高27。5米，十字屋脊，三重檐迭出，四面亮山，多角交错，是结构奇丽的建筑。

后门“神武门”，明朝时为“玄武门”，玄武为古代四神兽之一，从方位上讲，左青龙，右白虎，前朱雀，后玄武，玄武主北方，所以帝王宫殿的北宫门多取名“玄武”。清康熙年间因避讳改称“神武门”。神武门也是一座城门楼形式，用的最高等级的重檐庑殿式屋顶，但它的大殿只有五开间加围廊，没有左右向前伸展的两翼，所以在形制上要比午门低一个等级。神武门是宫内日常出入的门禁。现神武门为故宫博物院正门。

东华门与西华门遥相对应，门外设有下马碑石，门内金水河南北流向，上架石桥1座，桥北为三座门。东华门与西华门形制相同，平面矩形，红色城台，白玉须弥座，当中辟3座券门，券洞外方内圆。城台上建有城楼，黄琉璃瓦重檐庑殿顶，城楼面阔5间，进深3间，四周出廊。

前三殿是全宫最大的建筑群，占地面积有达8。5万平方米，是宫城的12%，后三供则为前三殿的25%，期于宫殿依次递减，主要突出前三殿、后三宫的主要地位。1961年定位中国第一批全国重点文物保护单位。

好了，大家可以自由活动了，游玩时注意安全，注意保持景点卫生，祝大家玩得愉快。

故宫是一个规模很大的建筑物，共有九千九百九十间半房间。你们看，厉害吧?

我们首先参观了皇帝上早朝的地方——太和殿。在太和殿正中间是九龙至尊的龙椅。里面的物品全部都是用金子做的，豪华极了。在修建太和殿时，没有用到一跟钉，一根矛。全部是用木头穿插搭起来的。你们看古人，厉害吧?

参观完太和殿后，我们去参观了皇帝的寝宫——乾清宫。

乾清宫建于1420xx年，是明、清两代皇帝的寝宫。据说皇帝与皇后成亲的那天，是在乾清宫就寝的。在乾清宫的右边，摆着一张喜床。在喜床的周围贴满了“喜”字。说不定我们摸摸这个 “喜”字，可以沾一沾皇帝的福气呢!

我最喜欢的地方，要数皇帝的御花园了!为什么?因为皇的御花园里种满了许多美丽的花儿。有如霞似火的杜鹃花，娇媚迷人的红玫瑰，红艳艳的牡丹花，高洁淡雅的菊花，洁白如玉的玉兰花，清香四溢的茉莉花…清香四溢!在这美丽的花儿周围，种了许多树木。在花儿的衬托下，御花园增添了几分端庄和典雅。

随后，我们又参观了坤宁宫、养心殿等宫殿故宫的建筑凝聚了古代劳动人民的智慧，是汗水的结晶!

在这金碧辉煌的故宫里，使我收益无穷。故宫啊!我一定会把你的辉煌告诉人们的!

大家好!我是你们的向导，我名叫陈，叫我陈导就好了。现在我将带领你们欣赏我国的世界遗产——故宫。

故宫为我国明清两朝的皇宫，也是现存最大、最完整的古建筑群。所以我们在游览时应不乱扔垃圾、不触摸物品，这样才能欣赏到有历史气息的故宫。

进了太和殿的大门，展现在大家面前的便是一座座雄伟的宫殿。正前面那座最大的木构建筑，很是引人注目，那就是太和殿。它是皇权的象征，每当有重大活动时，皇帝都在此举行。后面的一排金碧辉煌的宫殿，分别是中和殿、保和殿。

游完了辉煌的太和殿，再向北走，我们能感觉到这儿的生活气息很浓。这里的一切起居用品在当时都是堪称一流的，后宫里的户外养心之处是御花园。它的格局，布局，古色古香，，花草树木点缀其间，亭台阁楼相依相存，是个精心雅致，赏心悦目的好地方。大家跟着我走，故宫东边这座角楼和其他三座角楼遥相呼应。它们的造型奇特，精美绝伦，与周围环境构成一幅完美的图画。

这气魄雄伟的工程凝结了多少劳动人民的血汗和智慧啊!

这次旅游到此结束，祝大家愉快，谢谢。

各位游客：

大家好!欢迎来到北京故宫，我叫王嘉一。非常荣幸能为大家提供服务，希望在我的陪伴下，能让您度过愉快的一天。现在让我们一起去领略世界遗产--北京故宫。

故宫，又称紫禁城，是明清两代的皇宫，故宫是世界现存规模最大最完整的古代木结构建筑群。它始建于明永乐四年(公元1460年)，共有24位皇帝先后在此登基。紫禁城占地72万多平方米，共有宫殿9000多间。

我们现在站的位置是故宫的太和殿。故宫里最吸引人的建筑是三大殿和三大宫。故宫三大殿：太和殿是最富丽堂皇的建筑，是皇帝举行大典的地方;中和殿是皇帝去太和殿举行大典前稍事休息和演习礼仪的地方;保和殿是每年除夕皇帝赐宴外藩王公的场所。故宫三大宫：乾清宫、慈宁宫、坤宁宫，是皇帝处理日常政务和帝后及其年幼子女居住的地方。大家游览故宫应注意，一是欣赏丰富多彩的建筑艺术;二是观赏陈列于室内的珍贵的文物。它标志着我们祖国悠久的文化传统，显示着五百多年前匠师们在建筑上的卓越成就。

Everybody is good! My name is wang, can call me the king tour guide. Today we are going to swim the Palace Museum, it was listed as a world heritage site in 1987.

Look! In front of us now is the Palace Museum. It is also called the Forbidden City, is the imperial palace during the Ming and qing dynasties, is the worlds largest and most complete existing ancient wooden buildings. It is Ming yongle built four years (AD 1406), 14 years to complete, covers an area of 720xx0 square meters. There are 9999 palace. A total of 24 emperors successively in this reign.

Now we three buildings in the Forbidden City is the most attractive, the solar temple, zhonghe palace and Baohe Palace, they are all yellow glass roof and green white stone base, decorated with resplendent and magnificent painting. Tell you a recent discoveries: all of the imperial palace palace is arranged by along a north-south axis, and to expand on both sides, north and south straightening, left and right sides is symmetrical. The central axis not only within the imperial palace, and nanda YongDingMen, north to the bell tower, drum tower, throughout the entire city, verve, magnificent plan is rigorous, very spectacular. Inside the palace is now about one million items of precious historical relics and art collection. And, more importantly, the imperial palace construction according to the layout of function is divided into the outer court and the imperial palace, the outer court and the imperial palace by a gate of heavenly purity, dry outside the south gate of dynasty qing, north of the imperial palace. The outer court in taihe palace, zhonghe palace and Baohe Palace three main halls as the center, in addition the two wings with mandarin house, therefore the court, south three, hall of martial valor, office buildings, etc. Im afraid you will ask, and the imperial palace? Dont worry, stay will say to the imperial palace area.

Ok, we can say now. Because we came to the center of the imperial palace, after three palace, the palace of heavenly purity, alternating between tai temple, palace of earthly tranquility. Imperial palace flanks are yangxin temple, east sixth, west sixth palace, the hall of abstinence, min city palace. Although they like in front of the three main halls (yellow glass roof and green white stone base), but the internal structure of the east to the table, tea table, west cultural relics for the chair. Three palace, the imperial and creature door, after the creature door to the north gate, east gate DongHuaMen, Simon called xihua gate, main entrance is the meridian gate.

Okay, now into the free browsing time, time for three hours, please pay attention to the points:

1. Not call, do not run, do not disorderly touch, do not tamper with, do not litter;

2. Keep quiet;

3. Now back to the location of the set on time.

How time flies, suddenly the say goodbye. The tourists, goodbye! Hope the next time you come to Beijing to visit the Forbidden City!

故宫基本上是按照明中都皇宫的蓝图而修建的，布局规划遵循了《周礼·考工计》的都城设计礼制：前朝后寝，左祖右社。大致分为南北两个部分，南半部位前朝，北半部则为后寝。前朝是以太和、中和、保和三大殿为中心，文华殿和武英殿为东西两翼，是皇帝举行朝会的地方。

而后寝则是以乾清、交泰、坤宁这后三殿以及东西六宫、御花园为中心，外东路、外西路的建筑为主，是皇帝处理日常政务和后宫皇妃居住、祭祀的地方。左祖右社是这样布局的：在午门外东侧是皇帝祭祖的场所太庙，西侧则是祭社稷的场所社稷坛。

按照这种布局建筑而成的故宫就是明清两代24位皇帝的皇宫，其中明朝14位，清朝10位，统治时间总共长达五个世纪。由于它在中国历史上的特殊地位和它精美的建筑群体，所以在1987年被联合国教科文组织收录到了《世界文化遗产名录》当中，成为世界上规模最大、保存最完整的宫殿建筑群。

现在在北京有一条贯穿南北的中轴线，被梁思成先生称为伟大的中轴线，全长8。5公里，南起永定门，北到钟楼，其中包括故宫在内的皇城就占了三分之一。这条中轴线也叫做龙脉，线上的景山是内城的中心点，也是故宫的镇山。

我们有时候还把故宫叫做紫禁城，而它的名称是怎样得来的呢?我国古代天文学家把天上的主要恒星分为三垣、四象和二十八星宿。三垣是太微垣、紫微垣和天市垣。其中紫薇垣居中，是天上皇帝所居住的地方，称为紫宫。封建帝王自称是天帝的儿子，所以他们也把自己居住的皇宫象征为天上的紫宫。

大家好，非常高兴能够成为你们今天的导游。

这儿即是国际闻名的故宫博物馆，通常咱们都简称它为故宫，也就是旧日的皇家宫廷。自1911年清朝末代皇帝爱新觉罗.溥仪被逼宣告退位，上溯至1420年明朝第三代永乐皇帝朱棣迁都于此，先后有明朝的14位，清朝的10位，共24位皇帝在这座绮丽堂皇的宫城里控制中国长达500年之久。帝王之家，天然规划巨大，气势磅礴，时至今日这儿不只在中国，在国际上也是规划最大，保管最完好的古代皇家宫廷建筑群。由于这座宫城集中体现了中国古代建筑艺术的优异传统和共同个性，所以在建筑史上具有十分重要的地位，是建筑艺术的经典之作，1987年已被联合国教科文组织评定为国际文化遗产。

故宫又称紫禁城，究其由来，是由天文学说和民间传说彼此融合而构成的。中国古代天文学家将天上一切的星宿分为三垣、二十八宿、三十一天区。其间的三垣(yuán)是指太微垣、紫微垣和天市垣。紫微垣在三垣的中间，正契合“紫微居中”的说法。因而，古人以为紫微垣是天帝之座，故被称为紫宫。皇帝是天帝之子、人世至尊，因而他们也要仿照天帝，在自个宫廷的姓名上冠其紫字，以体现其位居中间，环视全国的帝王气魄。还有一个说法是指“紫气东来”。传说老子出函谷关，关令尹喜见有紫气从东来，晓得将有圣人过关。老子骑了青牛前来，尹喜便请他写下了《道德经》。后人因而以“紫气东来”标明祥瑞。帝王之家当然期望出祥瑞天象，那么用“紫”字来命名也就水到渠成了。“禁”字的意思就很明显，那就是皇宫禁地，戒备威严，万民莫近。此话决无半个虚字，在1924年末代皇帝被逐出宫后，这儿才正式敞开，曾经这里布衣百姓别想踏近半步，咱们能够想像紫禁城过去是多么崇高威严，崇高不可侵犯啊!

紫禁城建在北京，是有其历史的，也由于这儿是一块风水宝地，说起来话长。故宫从明永乐四年(1406)开始建筑，用了14年的时刻才底子建成，到今日已有570多年的前史。咱们看到了，故宫是一级红墙黄瓦的建筑群，为何这样呢?据道家阴阳五行学说以为，五行包含金，木，水，火，土，其间土占中间方位，由于华夏民族代代生息在黄土高原上，所以对黄色就产生了一种崇仰和眷恋的豪情，所以从唐朝起，黄色就成了代表皇家的颜色，其他人不得在服饰和建筑上运用。而赤色，则涵义着圆满，吉利富有，正由于这些缘由，故宫建筑的底子颜色便采用了红，黄两种颜色。

故宫占地72万多平方米，有宫廷楼阁9900多间，建筑面积约15万平方米。附近有高9.9米，声称10米的城墙，墙外一周是52米宽的护城河，俗称筒子河。城南北长约960米，东西宽约760米，城上四角各有一座规划奇特漂亮的角楼，呈八角形，人称九梁十八柱，七十二条脊。城附近各设一门，南面的正门是午门，北门叫神武门，东门叫东华门，西门叫西华门。故宫在施工中共征集了全国闻名的工匠23万，民夫100万人。所用的建筑材料来自全国各地。比方汉白玉石料来自北京房山县，五色虎皮石来自河北蓟县的盘山，花岗石采自河北曲阳县。宫廷内墁地的方砖，烧制在姑苏，垒墙用砖是山东临清烧的。宫廷墙壁上所用的赤色，质料产自山东宣化(今高青县)的烟筒山。木材则主要来自湖广，江西，山西等省。由此也能够看出其时工程之浩大。

咱们眼前的叫午门。午门是紫禁城的正门，俗称五凤楼。明代，每年正月十五，午门都要悬灯赐食百官。到了清代这种活动就取消了。每年阴历十月初一，都要在这儿举办公布次年年历典礼，清代乾隆年间因避乾隆帝“弘历”的姓名，故将“颁历”改称“颁朔”。清代，皇帝举办朝会或大祀，以及元旦，冬至，万寿，大婚等重大节日，都要在这儿摆设卤簿，仪仗。此外，国家凡有征战凯旋时，皇帝在午门承受献俘典礼，若是皇帝亲征也从午门出驾。

关于“推出午门斩首”的说法，是由于戏曲午台上及别史小说唐塞而来的。实际上是明代朝廷命官违法，有的在午门廷杖，当然严峻的也有被当场打死的。

(进午门后金水桥前)

如今咱们现已到了故宫里边，在正式旅游之前，我先介绍一下故宫的规划和观赏道路。故宫占地72万多平方米，在这样大的面积上，集各种修建方法，缔造一组规划如此巨大的建筑群，不光没有纷杂表象，反而给人以规划谨慎，颜色光辉和规划规整的感受，最主要的方法是缔造了一条极为显着的中轴红，这条中轴线和整座北京城有机地结为一体，北从钟楼，南至永定门，总长度约8公里，皇家禁区苑内的有些约占三分之一。宫内重要建筑都在这条中轴线上，其它建筑分东西对称散布。整个宫廷的规划都体现了封建君主的“庄重”和对封建等级制度的威严。

故宫分外朝内廷。如今咱们在外朝的最南端正，前面是太和门。门前有一对青铜狮子，威严凶悍，成了门前桥头的守卫者，标志着权利与庄重。皇帝贵为皇帝，门前的狮子天然最精巧，最巨大了。东边立的为雄狮，前爪下有一只幼狮，标志皇权不朽，千秋万代。咱们眼前的这条小河，叫金水河，起装修和防水之用。河上五座桥标志孔子所发起的五德：仁、义、礼、智、信。整条河外观象支弓，中轴线即是箭，这标明皇帝授命于天，代天帝管理国家。

在太和门前

故宫建筑分为“外朝”与“内廷”两大部分。由午门到乾清门之间的部分为“外朝”，以太和、中和、保和三大殿为中间，东西两边有文华、武英两组宫廷，左右对称，构成“外朝”雄伟壮丽的格式。三大殿前后摆放在同一个巨大的“工”字型汉白玉石殿基上，殿基高8米，分为三层，每层有汉白玉石刻栏杆环绕，三台中有三层石雕“御路”。太和殿俗称金銮殿，是故宫最巨大的一座建筑物，也是国内最巨大、最壮丽的古代木规划建筑。乾清门以内为“内廷”，建筑规划也是左右对称。中部为乾清宫，交泰殿、坤宁宫，是封建皇帝寓居和处置平常政务的地方。两边的东、西六宫是嫔妃的居处，东、西一所是皇子的居处。“内廷”还有为皇家玩耍的三处花园——御花园、慈宁花园、乾隆花园。内金水河沿“内廷”西边弯曲绕过威武殿、太和门、文华殿流出宫外，河上有白玉石桥，沿河两岸有弯曲多姿的白玉雕栏杆，形似玉带。故宫建筑绝大部分以黄琉璃瓦为顶，在阳光下绮丽堂皇，庄重漂亮。

故宫中的建筑除了中轴线外，还用了各种方法，使宫城中各组建筑独具特征。比方殿基的处理，殿顶的形式，吻兽和垂脊兽的数目，彩绘图画的规制等等。这样，不只使主要建筑更显得巨大，壮丽，并且还体现了宫中建筑的等级不同。民间传说故宫有房9999间半，说天上的皇宫总共有房10000间，地上的皇帝自称“皇帝”，不敢与其同数，所以就少了半间。这半间房在哪儿呢?它指的即是文渊阁西头那一小间。实际上紫禁城有房9000余间，所谓的这半间是根本不存在的。文渊阁西头一间，面积虽小，仅能包容一个楼梯，但它仍是一整间。文渊阁楼下是藏中国第一部《四库全书》的地方，为了照看规划上的漂亮，所以把西头一间缔造的分外小。

通过太和门之后

女士们、先生们，前面的大殿叫太和殿，俗称金銮殿，是故宫内最大宫廷。建筑面积2377平方米，重檐庑殿顶，是殿宇中最高等级，为外朝三大殿中最大的一座。太和殿建在三层堆叠的“工”字型须弥座上，由汉白玉雕成，离地8余米，基层台阶21级，中，上层各9级。

太和殿始建于公元1406年，经历了三次火灾和一次兵燹(xiǎn)的破坏，如今咱们看到的是清朝建的。四个屋檐上各有一排动物，本来是钉子，用来固定瓦片用的，后来换成了神话传说中的动物，听说能够辟邪，并且数量越多，标明建筑越重要。太和殿上有9个，9是阳之极数，依次为7、5、3、1，布衣百姓家是不允许有这种装修的。

明清两朝曾有24个皇帝在此登基，宣告即位诏书。元旦、冬至、皇帝生日、册立皇后、公布法则、政令、派将出征、金殿传胪以及赐安等等，皇帝都要在这儿举办典礼，承受文武百官朝贺。

这个广场是太和殿广场，面积达3万平方米。整个广场无一草一木，空阔安静，给人以威严庄严的感受。正中为御路，左右地上铺的砖杂乱无章，共15层，以防有人挖地道进入皇宫。周围有一些大缸，是做什么用的呢?在故宫里总共有308个大缸，是用来储水防炎的，缸下可烧炭加温，避免冬季缸水结冰。为何要建这么大的广场呢·那是为了让我们感受到太和殿的雄伟壮丽。站在下面向前望去：蓝天之下，黄瓦生辉。层层石台，如同白云，加上香烟旋绕，整个太和殿如同天上仙界相同。举办大典时，殿内的搪瓷仙鹤盘上点上蜡烛，香亭、香炉烧檀香，露台上的铜炉、龟、鹤燃松柏枝，殿前两边香烟旋绕，全场万籁俱寂。皇帝登上宝座时，鼓乐齐鸣，文武大臣按等级跪伏在广场，仰望着云中楼阁山呼万岁，以显现皇帝无上威望与庄重。

清朝末代皇帝溥仪1908年末登基时，年仅3岁，由他爸爸摄政王载沣把他抱扶到宝座上。当大典开端时，突然鼓乐齐鸣，吓得小皇帝哭闹不止，嚷着要回家去。载沣急得满头大汗，只好哄着小皇帝说：“别哭，别哭，快完了，快完了!”大臣们以为此话不吉利，说来也巧，3年后清朝果然就灭亡了，然后结束了中国20__多年的封建控制。

在太和殿的石台上

这是铜香炉，是皇帝举办典礼时燃烧檀香用的。这儿总共有18座，代表清朝18个省。殿外左右安放四个铜缸，标志”完整无缺“，作为贮水防火之用。台基东西两边各有一只铜制仙鹤和龟，是长命的标志。这个由铅铸造成的用具叫嘉量，嘉量是其时量的规范器，标明皇帝公正处事，谁半斤,谁八两，心中自然有数。对面还有一个石头做成的用具叫做日晷(guǐ)，是古代的测时仪。皇帝的意思是：量和时的基准都在自个手里。

太和殿正面有12根圆红柱，东西约63米，南北进深约37米，高35米，殿前丹陛三层五出，殿前后有金扉40个，金锁窗16个，整个大殿雕梁画栋，奢华绮丽。殿内中间设有2米高的平台，上面摆放着雕有9条金龙的楠木宝座。后边有金漆围屏，前面有御案，左右有对称的宝象、角端、仙鹤、香筒等陈设品。象驮宝瓶，内装五谷，标志和平现象、五谷丰登。角端是中国古代神话传说中的一种神兽，可“日行一万八千里”，知晓四方言语，只要明君，它才捧书而至，护驾身旁。

太和殿也叫金銮殿，为何这么叫呢?因殿内为金砖墁地而得名。金砖墁地平坦如镜，润滑细腻，像是洒了一层水，发着幽暗的光。那么金砖真的含金吗?其实这是一种用特殊方法烧制的砖，技术讲究，复杂，专为皇宫而制，敲起来有金石之声，所以称作“金砖”。烧这种砖，每一块相当于一石大米的代价，可见金砖虽不含金，但也的确宝贵。

殿内共有72根大主柱，支撑其悉数分量，其间6根雕龙金柱，沥粉贴金，环绕着宝座周围。在殿中间有一藻井，是从古代“天井”和“天窗”方式演化而来，为中国古代建筑的特征之一。主要设置在“显贵”的建筑物上，有“崇高”之意。在藻井中间部位，有一浮雕蟠龙，口衔一球(球为铜胎中空，外涂水银)，此球叫轩辕镜，传说是远古时代轩辕黄帝制造的，悬球与藻井蟠龙联在起，构成了游龙戏珠，悬于帝王宝座上方，以示中国历代皇帝都是轩辕的后代，是黄帝正统继承者。它使殿堂绮丽堂皇，雍容华贵。镜下正巧对着宝座，听说是袁世凯怕大球掉下来把他砸死，故将宝座向后挪到如今的位置。关于龙椅，这儿里面还有段故事。1916年(民国五年)袁世凯登基时，把本来的宝座搬走了，换了一把西式高背大椅，上饰他自个规划的帝国徽号。听说他的腿短，因而将椅座下降。新中国建立后，为了寻找那把龙椅，依据以前的一张相片，在破家私库找到了一把破椅，经教授判定，这椅子即是皇帝宝座，后经修正展出。

带客人至太和殿东或西侧铜缸处

古人把摆设在殿堂房屋前的大缸，称为“门海”，门海者，盖“门前大海”之意，古人相信，门前有大海，就不怕闹火灾。因而，大缸又称为吉利缸。它既是摆设品，又是消防器材。在科学不民达的古代，宫中没有自来水，更没有消防器材。因而，缸内有必要常年储满水以备不虞。

清代时，共有308口大缸，按其质量分类三种，即鎏金铜缸、烧古铜缸和铁缸，其间最宝贵的是鎏金铜缸。但是这些鎏金铜缸没有逃脱侵犯者刺刀刮体的厄运。侵犯者是谁?是英、美、德、法、俄、日、意、奥八国联军。为了打压中国公民反帝的义和团运动，1900年的8月13日至8月15日，八国联军攻陷北京，进占紫禁城。军官们烧、杀、抢、掠，从宫中及颐和园等处掠取的文物在各侵犯国使馆区堆积如山，至今仍有很多文物被伦敦、巴黎、纽约博物馆攫为已有。这一切包含在眼前这口缸上，这道道刮痕都已变成帝国主义侵犯中国的铁证。是伪控制时期，大缸被拉出宫门，装上日本侵犯军的货车，用去制造子弹，再反过来残杀中国公民。

中和殿前

眼前这个方形建筑是中和殿。皇帝举办大典前，先到此暂坐歇息，会晤一些官员。皇帝去天、地、日、月四坛祭祀时，前一天也要在中和殿里看祭文。每年二月皇帝到先家坛举办亲耕典礼，前一天要来这儿阅视种子、耕具、祝文。这儿如今陈设的是乾隆年间的两顶肩舆(yú)，也就是八抬大轿。

城角

故宫的四个城角，每一个角上有一座九梁十八柱七十二条脊的角楼，缔造的可美观了。这四座角搂是怎样盖的呢?北京有这么个传说——

明朝的燕王朱棣在南京做了永乐皇帝之后，由于北京是他做王爷时的老地方，就想迁都北京，所以就派了心腹大臣到北京盖皇官。朱棣通知这个大臣：要在皇宫外墙——紫禁城的四个犄角上，盖四座姿态格外秀丽的角楼，每座角楼要有九梁十八柱、七十二条脊。并且说：“你就做这个管工大臣吧，若是修盖的欠好是要杀头的!”管工大臣领了皇帝的谕旨后，心里十分忧愁，不知怎样盖这九梁十八柱、七十二条脊的角楼。

管工大臣到了北京今后，就把八十一家大包工木厂的领班、木匠们都叫来，跟他们说了皇帝的旨意，期限三个月，叫他们一定要如期盖成这四座怪姿态的角楼，并且说：“若是盖不成，皇帝定然要杀我的头，可是在没杀我的头之前，我就先把你们的头砍了，所以留神你们的脑袋。”领班和木匠们对这样的工程都没掌握，只好常常在一块揣摩法子。

三个月的期限是很短的，一转眼即是一个月了，领班和木匠们还没想出一点条理、一点方法来，他们做了许多样型，都不适宜。这时，正赶上六七月的三伏气候，热得人都喘不上气来，加上心里愁闷，领班和木匠们真是坐也不适宜，躺也不适宜。有这么一位木匠师傅，真实呆不住了，就上大街闲遛去了。

走着走着，听见老远传来一片蝈蝈的吵叫声，接着、又听见一声呼喊：“买蝈蝈，听叫去，睡不着，排遣儿去!”走近一看，是一个老头儿挑着许多大大小小秫秸(shújiē)编的蝈蝈笼子，在沿街叫卖。其间有一个细秫秸棍插的蝈蝈笼子，精巧得跟画里的一座楼阁相同，里头装着几只蝈蝈，木匠师傅想：反正是烦心的事，该死的活不了，买个美观的笼子，看着也风趣儿，所以就买下了。

这个木匠拎着蝈蝈笼子，回到了工地。大伙儿一看就喧嚷起来了：“我们都心里怪烦的，你怎样买一笼子蝈蝈来，故意吵人是怎样着?”木匠笑着说：“咱们睡不着解个闷儿吧，你们瞧……”他原想说你们瞧这个笼子多么美观呀!可是他还没说出嘴来，就觉得这笼子有点特别。他匆促摆着手说：“你们先别吵吵嚷嚷的，让我数数再说。“他把蝈蝈笼子的梁啊、柱啊、脊呀细细地数了一遍又一遍，大伙被他这一数，也吸引得留了神，静静地直着双眼看着，一点声响也没有。

木匠数完了蝈蝈笼子，蹦起来一拍大腿说：“这不正是九梁十八柱七十二条脊么?”大伙一听都快乐了，这个接过笼子数数，那个也接过笼子数数，都说：“真是九梁十八柱、七十二条脊的楼阁啊，”

大伙儿受这个笼子的启示，揣摩出了紫禁城谯楼的姿态，烫出纸浆做出样型，最终修成了到如今还存在的角搂。

好了，希望今天的讲解，能够让大家对故宫更了解，更爱它。

亲爱的朋友们，非常高兴我能陪同大家一起浏览沈阳故宫。沈阳故宫占地6万多平方米，宫内建筑物保存完好，是我国仅存的两大宫殿建筑群之一。它的规模比占地72平方米的北京故宫要小得多，但是，它在建筑上有自己的特色，现在是沈阳最重要的游览点。沈阳故宫建于1625年，是后金第一代汗努尔哈赤开始修筑。努尔哈赤死后，第二代汗皇太极继续修建成功。沈阳故宫的建筑布局可以分为三路。东路为清太祖努尔哈赤时期建造的大政殿与十王亭。中路为清太宗皇太极时期续建的大内宫阙，包括大清门、崇政殿、凤凰楼以及清宁宫、关雎宫、麟趾宫、衍庆宫、永福宫等。西路则是乾隆时期增建的文溯阁、嘉荫堂和仰熙斋等。乾隆时皇宫已在北京，但他有时也“东巡”回沈阳看看。

现在我们来到的是大政殿，这里是用来举行大典，如颁布诏书、宣布军队出征、迎接将士凯旋和皇帝即位等的地方。十王亭则是左右翼王和八旗大臣办事的地方。这种君臣合署办事于宫廷的现象，在历史上是少见的。从建筑上看，大政殿也是一个亭子，不过它的体量较大，装饰比较华丽，因此称为宫殿。大政殿和成八字形排开的十座亭子，其建筑格局乃脱胎于少数民族的帐殿制。这十一座亭子，就是十一座帐篷的化身。帐篷是可以流动、迁移的，而亭子就固定起来了。这也显示了少数民族文化的一个发展。

希望朋友们能在这里拥有一次愉快之旅！

亲爱的朋友们：我叫陈爱嘉，大家叫我小爱就行了。今天有幸陪同大家一道参观，我感到很高兴。这里就是闻名世界的故宫博物馆，简称为故宫，就是昔日的皇家宫殿。

北京故宫位于北京市中心，是明清两代的皇宫，又称为“紫禁城”(历代宫殿都象“象天立宫”，以表示君权“受命于天”)。由于君为天子，天子的宫殿如同天帝居住的“紫宫”禁地，故名“紫禁城”。故宫始建于明永乐四年(142019年)，永乐十八年(1420年)建成。历经有清两个朝代24个皇帝。故宫规模宏大，西宽750米，南北长960米，占地72万平方米，建筑面积15万多平方米，有房屋9999间，是世界上最大最完整的古代宫殿建筑群。为了突出帝王至高无上的权威，故宫有一条贯穿宫城南北的中轴线，在这条中轴线上，按照“前朝后寝”的古制，布置着帝王发施令，象征政权中心的三大殿(太和殿、中和殿、保和殿)和帝后居住的后三宫(乾清宫、交仄殿、坤宁宫)。在其内廷部分(乾清门以北)，左右各形成一条以太上皇居住的宫殿—宁宫，和以太妃居住的宫殿—慈寿宫为中心的次要轴线。出于防御的需要，这些宫殿建筑的处围筑有高达10米的宫墙，四周有角楼，外有护城河。

故宫御花园，原名宫后苑，今俗称御花园，占地一万二千平方米。以钦安殿为中心，园林建筑采用主次相辅，左右对称的格局，布局紧凑，古典富丽。殿东北的堆秀山，为太湖石叠砌而成，上筑御景亭，每年重阳节帝后在北登高。

1987年故宫被联合国教科文组织，评定为“世界文化遗产”，是建筑艺术的经典之作。

朋友们，因为时间仓促，这次对故宫的介绍就到此结束。下次有机会再带大家详细的参观。谢谢合作!

一提起故宫，很多人想到的只有北京故宫，却不知道在沈阳还有一座故宫。它是清朝最初的皇宫，已经有四百多年的历史。这就是沈阳故宫。

我生在沈阳，长在沈阳。小时候，沈阳故宫就像我的玩伴一样陪伴着我成长，一直到目送我来到遥远的广州读书。记忆中，它红墙绿瓦，庄严肃穆，静谧古朴，一点也不比北京故宫逊色。

再次与这位老朋友相见，已是初一暑假。这次来，我带上了一个任务——要仔细品读它，发现它与众不同的意义。

由大清门进入，沿大门北面的御路拾阶而上，便来到月台。台的正中，就是始建于后金天聪年间的崇政殿。岁月的痕迹并没有减少大殿的庄严感。整个大殿金碧辉煌，走进里面，只见红色的大柱上，缠绕的是腾飞的金龙图案，金龙周围点缀着火焰和云朵;正中央，“正大光明”牌匾熠熠生光，与高大的龙座、腾飞的金龙一道，彰显着皇权的至高无上。游客们不禁啧啧惊叹。

这里就是清朝皇帝入关前办公的地点。

遥想当年，皇太极和他八旗兄弟们在这个大殿里做出了多少个重要的决定;顺治元年，摄政王多尔衮在这个大殿里是怎样代替六岁的福临作出决定，入主中原……历史的车轮滚滚向前，一位又一位伟人就是凭着这一个个的历史建筑，被后人铭记。

继续前进，感受着久违而又熟悉的历史气息，在斑驳的记忆里追寻着我的童年：小时候来沈阳故宫，游客很少，没有小贩;我在里面奔跑，玩乐，欢笑，感觉整个故宫都是我的。多年不见，这里的游客多起来了，小贩也多起来了，古朴的故宫多了不少喧闹的气息。不知怎的，我总觉得不太自在。

不知不觉，我们走到了位于崇政殿后的凤凰楼前。凤凰楼是后宫的门楼，是当年盛京最高的建筑。据说此处是当年皇帝和嫔妃观赏日出之地，因而有“凤楼晓日”的美称。

专注欣赏之际，一阵嘈杂声突然打断了我。楼上，一群穿着皇帝、妃嫔服饰的人们在相互取景拍照，嘻嘻哈哈，随随便便。“打卡”留念后留下了一句“这也没啥好看的，这么小，一点儿意义都没有”，扬长而去。

愤愤地看着他们离去的身影，我不禁思索了起来：历史建筑给人的意义到底是什么?

阳光从翠绿的树叶投下斑斑树影，好似与三年、三十年、三百年前并无两样。看着眼前斑驳的石砖，褪色的红墙，我想：历史就是一段已经逝去的过往，而历史建筑则是它曾经存在的象征。今天，我们参观它，目的是留住那些曾经的美好，记住那些曾经的伤痛。沈阳故宫虽然非常小，但它的价值是无法与其它任何历史建筑比较衡量的。它，永远我们心中的无价之宝!

我，来自沈阳。我为沈阳故宫代言!

大家好，欢迎来到故宫参观。我姓王，大家可以叫我王导。希望我能到给你们最好的服务。

大家请跟我一起走进故宫的大门。首先我们来到的是乾清宫。乾清宫是明清两代皇帝在紫禁城中的居住和处理日常政事的地方。乾清宫面阔九间，进深五间，高二十米，殿的正中有宝座，两头有暖阁。乾清宫始建于明代永乐十八年，明清两代曾因数次被焚毁而重建，现在的是清代嘉庆三年所建的。

来，大家请跟我继续往前走，现在展现在大家眼前的是太和殿。太和殿是“东方三大殿”之一，中国现存最大的木结构大殿，俗称“金鉴殿”。是明永乐十四年建成，称奉天殿。明嘉螼四十一年改成皇极殿，清顺治二年改称太和殿。建成后多次遭焚毁，多次重建，今殿为清康熙三十四年重建后行成。

由于时间关系，今天的参观就到这里。再见，希望我们还有机会再见。

故宫占地72万平方米，屋宇9999间半，建筑面积15。5万平方米为一长方形城池，四角矗立、风格绮丽的角楼，墙外有宽52米的护城河环绕，形成一个森严壁垒的城堡。建筑气势雄伟、豪华壮丽，是中国古代建筑艺术的精华。”

一进故宫有四个大门，正门名为午门。午门后有五座精巧的汉白玉拱桥通往太和门。东门名东华门，西门名西华门，北门名神武门。

我调查了故宫的全景图，发现故宫宫殿的建筑布局有外朝、内廷之分。内廷与外朝的建筑气氛迥然不同。外朝以太和、中和、保和三大殿为中心，是封建皇帝行使权力、举行盛典的地方。内廷以乾清宫、交泰殿、坤宁宫为中心，是封建帝王与后妃居住之所。此外还有文华殿、武英殿、御花园等。

太和殿俗称金銮殿，在故宫的中心部位，是故宫三大殿之一。建在高约5米高的汉白玉台基上。

保和殿也是故宫三大殿之一，在中和殿后。

乾清宫在故宫内庭最前面。清康熙前此处为皇帝居住和处理政务之处。清雍正后皇帝移居养心殿，但仍在此批阅奏报，选派官吏和召见臣下。

交泰殿在乾清宫和坤宁宫之间，含天地交合、安康美满之意。

故宫面积72万平方米，共有各式宫室8千余间，是世界上规模最大、保存最完整的宫殿建筑群。明清两代先后有24位皇帝居住在这里。1920xx年北京政变后，被废黜的清末代皇帝溥仪出宫，1920xx年成立了故宫博物院。解放后，故宫进行了大规模的修缮，成为我国最大的国家博物馆。

今天，我参观了故宫。我了解了祖国的文化，了解了历史。今我还要了解，了解一切一切。只有这样，我才能了解中国，长大为我的祖国做出最大的贡献!!

大家好，我叫__，也可以叫我庞导，下面我为大家当导游吧!大家看，我们现在来到的是故宫，故宫有两个名字,除了故宫以外,还叫紫禁城.它位于北京市中心,东西宽750米,南北长960米,面积达72万平方米,是世界上规模最大的宫殿建筑物.

咱们数一数,故宫的一共有多少间?你一定数不过来吧?故宫一共有9999间半的房间呢?故宫有许多的殿,比如太和殿、中和殿、乾清门、养心殿等。这里是保和殿，大家向上看，保和殿为重檐歇山顶面阔九间。在原来是举行册立皇后、皇太子等大典时皇上更衣的地方。

大家一定看到我的手指的那一座楼吧?那就是坤宁宫。在明朝，坤宁宫是皇后住的地方。清朝满族的习俗，将其改为祭神的场所，把冬暖阁作为皇上大婚的洞房。出坤宁宫北行，我们来到的是御花园。它的门于东西六宫相通。这御花园规模宏大，长130米，宽90米。

主要建筑钦安殿正处在中轴线上。明朝时。这里秋季大享及祭祀的场所，清代改为了寺庙。这里的大石堆是叠山堆秀，在那时是帝后嫔妃重阳登高的地方。与御花园是以建筑为的宫廷花园，山石树木安排有序，奇花异草争奇斗艳。参观完了故宫，大家一定留下了很深刻的印象吧!

让我一起保护它吧!
