In the Eastern Jin Dynasty, there was a town named Xinping. The name ofJiyi town in Tang Dynasty.

Jingdezhen porcelain is as white as jade, as bright as a mirror, as thin aspaper and as loud as a chime. Among all kinds of porcelain, the most famous blueand white porcelain, such as exquisite blue and white porcelain, colored glazeporcelain and pastel porcelain, is known as "the essence of Chinese culture" and"the treasure of China".

1、 Blue and white porcelain

Blue and white porcelain is one of the most excellent porcelain varietiesin the history of Chinas ceramics. Since its inception, it has always been themainstream product of Jingdezhen porcelain industry, so that it has survived fornearly 800 years. The successful firing of blue and white porcelain is the mostepoch-making event in Chinas ceramic history. Since then, Chinese porcelain hasentered the era of colored porcelain, which makes the combination of Chinesepainting skills and porcelain making technology more mature.

Blue and white porcelain is a kind of preparation pigment - "blue and whiteporcelain" with cobalt oxide as color developing agent. It is painted on theporcelain body, covered with transparent glaze, and fired at a high temperature.It is characterized by black green, fresh and beautiful, quiet and elegant, withthe artistic effect of Chinese ink painting. The whole blue and white ware, withits bright blue pattern, complements the blue and white of the porcelain body.It is gorgeous but not vulgar, fresh but not frivolous, bright and stable,gorgeous and calm, with high artistic value.

Due to different strokes, different techniques, different ideas anddifferent materials, each period of blue and white decoration has differentartistic effects, showing distinct characteristics of the times. It is mainlydivided into blue and white porcelain of Yuan Dynasty, blue and white porcelainof Ming Dynasty and blue and white porcelain of Qing Dynasty.

2. Exquisite blue and white

Jingdezhens exquisite blue and white porcelain, which is crystal clear andelegant, is a traditional famous porcelain in Jingdezhen. It was created andburned in Yongle period of Ming Dynasty. It not only absorbs the advantages ofblue and white technology, but also adopts the ingenious method of carving art.It has the characteristics of light, compact, simple, elegant and fresh.Foreigners call it "glass inlaid porcelain", which has been well-known at homeand abroad.

Exquisite blue and white is a comprehensive decoration of underglaze blueand white and exquisite carving. It is in the porcelain body, the firstproduction of exquisite through the tick of rice shaped hole, known as "Mitong",commonly known as "Linglong eye", and then "Linglong glaze" filled with Linglongeye, combined with the color of green blue and white decoration, glaze into thekiln high temperature firing.

The exquisite blue and white decoration style is different. Its exquisiteglaze color is transparent with green, and the small holes are transparent. Itseems that small windows are opened one by one, and sunlight and light arepenetrated. It is a special pattern of exquisite eyes composed of porcelain, andthe artistic effect is unique. Combined with the blue and white decoration, itis particularly exquisite, simple, fresh and clear against the background ofwhite and blue glaze.

Today, Linglong eye has developed from a single "meter" to round, sharp,flat, linear, curved and other forms. And can form a variety of flowers andbirds, water waves, cloud figures and other shapes, enrich the blue and whiteexquisite decorative effect, make it more colorful.

Color glaze color glaze is a kind of glaze with metal oxide (iron, copper,manganese, cobalt) as colorant, which can present a certain inherent color afterfiring at a certain temperature in an appropriate atmosphere. Its glaze ismottled, bright and colorful. Some are like white clouds floating in the bluesky, some are like crystal dew shining on the lawn, some are like crystal starsblinking in the Milky way, some are like the red sun rising in the sky, some arelike the clear river running quietly, some are like bright gems shining, someare like raging fire in the furnace Burning, some like a beautiful peacock inthe open screen

Jingdezhen is one of the regions with the longest history, the mostvarieties, the best quality and the highest achievements in firing color glazedporcelain. Jingdezhens colored glazed porcelain, with its colorful glaze,exquisite and perfect utensils and different styles of modeling, has become ashining pearl in the history of world arts and crafts. It is still dazzling,enchanting and amazing.

4. Famille Rose Porcelain famille rose belongs to overglaze paintingdecoration. Overglaze painting is a kind of decoration technique that paintingdecoration is carried out on the fired porcelain body, and then barbecue atabout 800 ℃ to make the picture solidify on the surface of porcelain aftermelting.

As early as the song and Yuan Dynasties, Jingdezhen porcelain workers beganto use color materials containing metal oxides to decorate the surface ofporcelain. In the Xuande period of the Ming Dynasty, the imperial kilnsuccessfully fired blue and white porcelain with underglaze blue and white andoverglaze color. After the mid Ming Dynasty, Chenghua doucai and Wanli blue andwhite wucai (blue and white as one of the five colors of colored porcelain iscalled blue and white wucai). )In the early Qing Dynasty, after the emergence ofblue glaze, the glazed porcelain began to break away from the constraints ofblue and white and become an independent category of porcelain decoration.Kangxi five colors (red, green, yellow, blue, black) are thick and colorful,also known as "hard color", and Jingdezhen called them "ancient color".

In Yongzheng period, based on the five colors of Kangxi period, Jingdezhenporcelain workers, referring to the production process of enamel color (thecolor material of imperial utensils of Qing Dynasty), mixed the glass materialcontaining arsenic oxide into the color material containing lead to producemilky white effect. This kind of glass material containing arsenic was called"glass white" by Jingdezhen porcelain workers. Based on Kangxi five colors, ifglass white is added to the color materials, all colors will be "powdered" intodifferent shades, and the colors of the color materials will become pinkishcolors, such as red into pink, green into pink, and so on. These warm and moistintermediate colors not only give people a soft feeling of powder moistening,but also expand the range of colors of overglaze colors, so that colors can berendered, with layers, shades, clear Yin and Yang, and the painting method canbe more meticulous. Because it is characterized by a pink white tone, peoplecall it pastel, and Jingdezhen porcelain workers also call it "soft color".

Pastel decoration is characterized by bright colors, soft powder, richcolors, gorgeous elegance, fine brushwork and freehand brushwork. It has strongexpressive force in the decoration of figures, landscapes, flowers and birds,and is full of traditional Chinese painting style. The famille rose porcelainwas the most famous in Yongzheng period. In this period, the overglaze porcelainhas developed to a stage where a hundred flowers vie with each other. It marksthat the development of Chinas traditional overglaze porcelain has reached avery high level.

This is the introduction of Jingdezhen ancient kiln folk custom exhibitionarea. Now you can visit it freely and come back here according to the schedule.Have a good time.

The Small Sky Pond

The small sky pond is also called Silver-ring Lake. It is about round, the girth of the small sky pond is 260m, with the area of the catchment 5,380m the depth more than 10m. Without drain all year round, There are two kinds of statements of its cause. The one is Glacier theory which says that it is the quaternary glacial moraine evolved lake. The other is parasitic crater theory. It believes that the small sky pond is a small crater ponding with water formed by the eruption of the top crater of the sky pond.

Wuzhen lies in the far north-east of Zhejiang province, about 90 minutes byroad from Shanghai. The name "water town" is especially apt; besides lying onthe Grand Canal, the settlement is completely encircled by two rivers - the DongShi and a smaller tributary, which meet at a T-junction. No matter where youstand, water provides the backdrop, the raison d锚tre of the whole town.

About 250 families used to live in the old quarter of Wuzhen. However,following the "restoration" of the town, many townsfolk have been moved out tothe "new" Wuzhen, an attractively landscaped but otherwise characterleapartmentblock 15 km down the road towards Shanghai. Those who remain are mainly theelderly and craftspeople. While I was assured that there is nothing to stop newresidents moving into the old town, young people nowadays seem strangelyabsent.

The old wooden shops of Wuzhen look ageleand immovable, as though theirtimbers have totally defied the ravages of time. At first, one suspects that thecustodians of the town have tried to cover up the decomposing processes ofnature. But look more closely and you find slow rot setting in around the basesof the doorframes, and splinters breaking away from the lintels. What littlerestoration has been done is so inconspicuous as to be totally indistinguishablefrom the original.

All the buildings in Wuzhen are in Ming or Qing Dynasty style. One palatialestablishment is the "Double Happiness" Marriage Shrine. Twin hearts are joinedin a nouveau-Chinese character in gilt upon a flaming crimson background,presumably depicting the inseparability of marriage - perhaps the Chinese knowsomething that we Westerners dont.

Wuzhen also has some unique attractions, including Yu Liuliangs Coin andPaper Money Exhibition. Nearby (would you believe) stands a Pawnshop Museum, asif to prove that usury is universal. (Maybe fortunately, Wuzhen has the onlysuch establishment Ive ever come across). I tried looking for a Qing Dynasty DVDplayer in the pawnshop, but was sadly disappointed.

No fewer than eight stone bridges crothe Dong Shi River, the grandest ofthem being the Fengyuan Double Bridge. The bridge is separated into two parts bya wooden sluice gate. Cyclists carry their bikes acrothe high arches of thebridges, which are designed to let boats paunderneath without difficulty.

Back in the main square, the elders are still hanging out. On the villagestage, a performance of Peking Opera is underway. Acrothe square, a masterpuppeteer entertains visitors with a shadow-play of the type known in Java aswayang kulit. But while the Javanese version of shadow puppetry is subtle andrefined, the Wuzhen style has the protagonists attacking each other with theferocity of tigers.

Whether by accident or design, this town seems to have been dropped intoits watery setting by a master town planner from another galaxy. A more perfectlocation for a settlement would be difficult to find. It is fervently to behoped that tourism will augment rather than destroy the unique ambiance ofWuzhen.

Everybody is good! Welcome to sightseeing, as cabinet. I am a scenic docent of , hope that through my explanation, can let everybody to the ancient city of changsha and the massive historical culture as ancient pavilion has a preliminary understanding.

Please look at the other side of the pavilion "chong DE", this plaque for Chiang kai-shek, "fresh call forth the past unforgettable a surprised noon dream, thousands of miles to see sunrise" according to legend for Chiang kai-shek, built for the 1946 memorial for those who died in the anti-japanese, also known as "the fierce pavilion". From September 1939 to December 1941, the Japanese aggressively attack changsha three times, in the ninth theater commander Sir Hsueh yueh as the main body of Chinas armed forces to take the back decisive battle "strategy, strive to resist. Three times in battle, the Japanese were losing from changsha. Changsha become resistance for five years in the history of world war ii hero city, become one of the main positive battlefield of the Chinese Anti-Japanese War stalemate. Because, as cabinet in changsha city high ground, have lost three times as one of the main platforms of our important department. Hero of changsha city undefeated to figure stands in front of the world, and majestic, magnificent ancient city wall, also became the pride of changsha people.

Now everyone viewed from the looks, is built in the Ming dynasty chongzhen years ago, has 400 years of history, as cabinet. Attic for a layer, when he first built qing qianlong built into two layers, in 1774 as a "ku" always read officer wang li degrees also made the repairing as pavilion "; As to the qing dynasty jiaqing years, your academy dean luo funding reconstruction, Ohio, south of the city is now everyone can see three layer, and increase the south and north two attached to the cabinet, make it more grand, magnificent; 14.6 meters high, is now the main pavilion two attached cabinet each 10 meters high, the entire attic imitation Ming and qing dynasties south garden architectural style, "not as pavilion, dont know the ancient changsha." Please follow me together pavilion to visit.

Main pavilion, a layer for the exhibition in one hundred, changsha, changsha one hundred history of the 20th century is shown. First of all, please see the heavenly heart pavilion overlooking a poem, the poem "tam states that" todays changsha. The poem are taken from the good county annals "(the original changsha, good two counties are divided into changsha, as pavilion is a good county), the author YuYi for Ming chongzhen years in Beijing took command, which can be concluded as cabinet as early as 400 years ago stand high above the city. Then take a look at the ancient changsha old topographic map, it is the long and narrow strip, changsha has a picture of a household name, popular pairs: "land and sea chau interstate system boat boat move motionless, as presently live pigeons fly cabinet did not fly", this amphibious continent is j, amphibious continent is about more than 5500 meters long, about 100 meters wide, is the changsha this special geographic landscape. Changsha geological structure on the basis of quartz sandstone, through all the year round external force, make a lot of sand and stone are gathered in the surface, thus changsha placenames origin in "long Fang Zhou, sandy land".

Main cabinet of the second floor has two large relief, one shows the late November 12, 1938, "Wen Xi fire", zhou enlai and then KMT chairman zhang zhizhong to attic inspect the scene of the disaster of hunan province, wuhan, the Japanese open the portal to southern China, Chiang kai-shek to defend the changsha lack of confidence; The order after the yueyang lost, zhang zhizhong in changsha "scorched earth" of the war of resistance against Japan, with their torches as cabinet, put a good carry of changsha city into a ruin, destroyed the city area of 90%, burned more than 3000 people, burns victims of nearly twenty thousand people, the city common people homeless, history says "Wen Xi fire", changsha which is listed as a world war ii one of the most serious city four great destruction. But less than three months, heroic unyielding changsha people and set up a small hut on the ruins of new changsha, with a burning desire to fight the Japanese again, make the Japanese admitted for the first time in all the way the successful cases of the Chinese people do not reproach. Second is shown in July 1930, the red headed by peng dehuai SanJunTuan armed attack changsha, in ShanTing victory stationed in the scene. Hunan liling people at that time li lisans adventurism authorized by the communist international, put forward the strategic thought of "armed to encircle the cities", after the general strength is too wide, the red army and take the initiative to leave changsha.

Why call this building as "pavilion"? According to ancient Chinese star like learning, heaven have 28 stars, including seven southern provinces as "the linnet", in its tail there is a main life "star" in changsha, and attic built after just on the "changsha star" in the sky, as it is the stars in the sky, therefore, formerly known as "star pavilion", is the star of stars, is the ancient worship god, stars "gv 10"; We all know that the ancients has always been advocating dao, original attic to worship the statue of Confucius, mencius and others, the moral "for Kong Mengchuan orthodoxy, for heaven and earth and heart", so the star of stars and change to the heart of the heart. Another story, the qing emperor kangxi years, emperor kangxi to changsha southern found changsha wooden house much more special, very easy to cause HuoHuan, to save the people in distress, and local officials in changsha, changsha is highest, feng shui, the best place to build such a disaster in the town of fire prevention, attic, said "the mind of" son of heaven. Written by scholars in the late qing dynasty Huang Zhaomei yunshan all eyes, all around of fireworks always concerned about "in the name of the union, better generalization for the cabinet in the first place.

Now you see, is the ancient city wall in changsha. In 202 BC, that is, the west five years, emperor gaozu Liu Bangjian han closed his eight major contributor to the king, the changsha Wang Wu rui, has formed ram changsha built the ancient city wall, according to the present 2200 years of history. In the Ming hongwu five years, that is, in 1372 AD, changsha command make Qiu Guang defence, content of the wall for masonry building, the purpose is to strengthen the defense, makes changsha is solid "citizen". Ming scored changsha yellow tiger rate army onishi, the wall had been destroyed; Qing shunzhi eleven years (AD 1654), seduction on the plains of hunan, in changsha, dismantle MingFan fu brick building the wall, to return to the old city walls. Two years qing xianfeng (1852 AD), the walls and damaged by taiping rebels, after successive hunan governor LuoBingZhang, Mao Hongbin repair reinforcement, such as design and additional battery around, the ancient city wall to a pattern of arch ring type in Minnesota. Original ancient city wall is 8.8 kilometers, the north and south long and narrow strip, in 1914, the kuomintang government in order to repair the ring road, retain only 251 meters at present this period survives, as an important witness of changsha history development.

Please look the direction of my finger, this is an important component of the ancient city wall in changsha - "around", also known as the barbican. As the name implies, named after the deep shaped like a half moon, is an ancient riot police, according to the place and the battery. It usually consists of two parts, the long-range artillery is placed above, the following placed close to Tom. In the city as well as storage of ammunition and food with warehouse and the secret to the outside, it are of great value to the research of ancient Chinese military fortifications. Interested friends can visit it.

Tourists friends, everybody in the official kilns are everywhere on the wall. The brick kiln with Ming and qing dynasties, which was the ancient brick factory brand, another is "responsibility" for the Great Wall brick sample.

Now watch, please "changsha fire" phantom imaging, said it was just introduced in 1938 "Wen Xi fire".

Occurs under the ancient city wall of the most famous battle, is "the duke guan war changsha". Chibi war, zhuge liang detachment of the will, and enterprising lingling, guiyang, wuling, changsha county. Guan yu at the gates in changsha war ShouJiang huang zhong, alternate admire: each a 50 rounds the first world war, regardless of the outcome; World war ii, the duke guan "knife meter" and huang zhong up, close the second brother to win and aboveboard, so put huang zhong; Three wars huang zhong cheat, go back to the GuanYuFang three arrows, the first two arrows to close the second brother, also Huang Zhongfang is empty of arrows, in return for first dont kill the grace of huang zhong only shot at guan yus head scarf, this time to turn off the second brother know huang zhong, frighten when hands are off, so today changsha and "fishing knife river". Back to changsha after the satrap han xuan yi huang zhong collaboration, will launch him beheaded. Saved huang zhong wei, han xuan, han xuan for wei, deliberately put the two boots the south and north two places, so today, changsha, and "south, north to take off the boots. Wei yan see through the trick, grasp its kill, the changsha has given "idle lake" (thorn Han Hu). After Wei Yanxian city; Huang zhong home anyway, guan yu, please visit to surrender.

Paris seems to have always been a dream city. In the official web site, it is called "the city of light", the light in the western mind has always been an incarnation of god, perhaps Paris man think himself to be nearer to god. It is no wonder that xu zhimo was lamented: "must have been to Paris wont rare heaven." Also some people call it "Babylon", that is the American writer Fitzgeralds novel "the return to the king of Babylon," call of Paris -- a dream only luxury and pleasure. Perhaps no one can tell what is a city in Paris, but everyone is convinced that they spent in Paris is life the most unforgettable day.

Most visitors look forward to in our hearts, is an ancient and romantic Paris, the champs elysees, place DE la Concorde, along the Louvre, the arc DE triomphe perfect central axis began their trip. Indeed, Paris is a city of great history, places of interest here are enough to make people linger. With these classic sites and another in Paris, a full of the flavor of halfback and Bohemian Paris.

As long as ride the subway in Paris, can clearly feel that. Paris metro has a long history, some station has intact the original style, it looks like an antique museum, and some of the station is full of futuristic, like a science fiction world, such as la defence underground station. From a station on the ground, standing in front of you is the worlds unique exaggeration of "new" arc DE triomphe. In fact this is a can accommodate 5000 people, office building, its uniqueness is the can put the Notre Dame DE Paris in the door. It is interesting to note that the new is in the Louvre arc DE triomphe, champs elysees, place DE la Concorde, the central axis, arc DE triomphe wickedly from the arc DE triomphe, ambition is to break the perfect harmony.

So "renegade" by no means the only building in Paris. If the Louvre represents the ancient civilization of France, the pompidou center is a symbol of modern Paris. Here is the palace of avant-garde art, exhibited since the 20th century western various style of art. And the design of the center itself is also gives people a strong visual impact of the avant-garde

Architectural art. All the columns, stair, pipeline and so on used to deliberately hiding things are on the outside, the whole building seemed to be colorful pipe and reinforced with chemical factory. When the "monster" also had a criticism, but now it has with other classical architecture of Paris.

City of Paris is perhaps the most popular with foreigner, it almost became the "mecca" of literature and art, how many world famous artists and writers live here? Still asked how many havent been to Paris, calculation easier that way. After the middle of the 19th century, Paris is became an exile of the city. Here have a relaxed political atmosphere, students, scholars, artists of the counter culture trend, the so-called culture, so people choose to Paris to stray. 20 and 30 s of the 20th century, Paris brought together so many American writers, including Hemingway, Fitzgerald. This group of young people longing for a better life is impact of world war I have nowhere to hide, they can not stand, escape, they need to be artistic atmosphere, because they will continue to make a living by writing, at the same time they also cant throw senses and material comforts, they need to coffee, and need a woman

Wine, need to dance, and they escaped to Paris. Their only choice is Paris, also seems to be only Paris can tolerate this group has lucid, occasionally drunk young people. They are just passers-by in Paris, but it left a deep imprint in here. They let Paris eternal moment, also part of your life will always stay in Paris. Walk on the river Seine, sitting on the sidewalk cafes, a foreigner may understand the light blue and the city of Paris street complex. Here in the last century a "lost generation" left too many stray and sentimental, lingering until today. Walking in Paris when you never know what will leave it a little longer in the memory, is the arc DE triomphe or afternoon in an outdoor cafe for a cup of coffee.

"Paris is more than a place, it has become a state of mind." No matter who you are, can be in the nostalgia and halfback, both quiet and noisy, internationalization and localization of the city to find your need a dose of antidote to the soul. In this sense, is best suited to foreigner stay in Paris. Appreciate the Mona Lisa, you can go to the Louvre also can go to the centre pompidou see Picasso. You can go to the Paris opera, also can go to the moulin rouge on the champs elysees; You can come to Paris to escape life, also can simply enjoy life here.

In fact, Paris everywhere all over the world. Perhaps you have never been to Paris, but youre probably in the city of your life a cafe called "left bank" linger; You dont have to out, you can enjoy from Paris (or claims) from Paris fashion products, can feel the "spring" in Paris. But when are you going to take a trip to Paris really?

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.

note : from here, the tour can be conducted via three different routes: a western route(route a), a central route (route b) or an eastern route (route c) .the commentary for each follows.

route a

ladies and gentlemen:

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.

route c

ladies and gentlemen:

you have seen the three main halls of the forbidden city. now i` d like to show you around scenes of interest along the eastern route. the first is the treasure hall. this mansion is called the hall of imperial zenith. this is where sing emperor quailing lived after abdication. nearly 1,000 artifacts and treasures are on display here, among which the golden hair tower is one of the most famous. this tower is 1.53meters in height and its base is 0.53 meters in circumference .it was built under the order of emperor quailing to be used to collect fallen hair in commemoration of his mother. there is also a “day harnessing water jade hill ” on display here. yu was a legendary monarch of the remote ixia dynasty. under his leadership, the people learned how to harness the yellow river. this jade assemblage, 224 centimeters in height and 5 tons in weight, is the largest jade artwork in china. this mat was woven with peeled ivory. these artifacts are among china` s rarest treasures.

(in front of the nine-dragon screen)

(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 !

The tourists who are sleeping can wake up. I understand that we are alltired. After several hours of long-distance bumps, now we finally arrive at ourdestination today - Jiuhua Mountain. Lets get out of the car and start ourjourney to Jiuhua Mountain. Lets follow me and dont fall behind. At thismoment, we are going up the winding mountain road and the mountain steps toreach Fenghuang pine, the oldest ancient pine in the world. You can have a lookat it, its like a flying phoenix, it seems to welcome us. Along the way ofphase II, I believe that when you hear the chirping of birds and the gurgling ofmountain springs, together with the laughter of our tourist friends, you willnot really answer the old saying "there is no one in an empty mountain, but youcan hear peoples voices".

Now we are halfway up the mountain. In front of us is Guanyin peak. You cansee that the stone is very lifelike, wearing a big red robe. When the mountainwind blows, the red robe flutters slightly, just like the arrival of Guanyin.Further up, you can see the broad ancient Sutra worship platform. You can seethe footprints left on the granite by the Bodhisattva of Tibetans during hismeditation. It is 2 times larger than the footprints of normal people. 9 times!Friends who are interested can take off their shoes and stand in the footprintsof the Bodhisattva of the king of Tibet to see if our feet are only one third ofthat!

Well, now we finally arrive at the terminal, Tiantai temple. Tiantaitemple, also known as dizang temple, is located at the top of Tiantai peak at analtitude of 1306 meters. It is said that there are traces of "Jinxian cave" leftin the holy residence of senior monks in the Tang Dynasty. Standing at the topof the peak, I just feel that the depression in my heart suddenly disappeared,and I feel very comfortable. Although Jiuhua Mountain is not as grand as MountTai or as dangerous as Mount Huangshan, it is famous both at home and abroad forits beauty!

We all know the Bund in Shanghai. It can be seen that it is one of the mostprosperous places in China, but the former captivity also made her have amiserable history: in 1845, Britain made her concession, and in 1849, Francealso occupied the Bund. But how beautiful and prosperous she is in front of theworld today!

Last summer vacation, my mother and I came to this loess land known as the"World Architecture Expo". As soon as I arrived at my destination, the waves ofthe Huangpu River attracted my eyes. The green algae glided in the water, itsgentle and slender waist.

As soon as we got out of the car, we came to the Asia building, theheadquarters of China Pacific Insurance Company. The lintel of the building isalso designed in broken pattern, which is beautiful and vivid. Further on, wecame to Dongfeng Hotel, once the most luxurious club in Shanghai - ShanghaiFederation. It has a bar of more than 110 feet, known as the longest bar in theFar East. We went on and came to a red house. After the guides explanation, Irealized that this was the famous steamship investment promotion company.Walking along the Huangpu river bank, the famous tower of Shanghai is a glance:the Peace Hotel, Pudong development building and the Oriental Pearl TV Toweropposite the Huangpu River, the world financial center.

At the end of Shili Nanjing Road, there is a bronze statue. He stares atthe flowers and grass here. Who is he? He is general Chen Yi, the first mayor ofShanghai in New China. Looking at the statue, I can see General Chen Yisinspection work in the wind and rain. His simple image and amiable, open-mindeddemeanor

Once again deeply imprinted in my heart.

Its getting dark. We came to the hotel, ate in a hurry, and then we wentback to the Bund. At this time, the sky has become dark red, and the lights ofthousands of families have been turned on in the sky. We came to the "Bundcruise terminal" to take a boat sightseeing.

We came to the cruise ship, the ship slowly driving on the Huangpu River,the lights on the shore printed on the water, as if it had become a wide pair ofoil paintings, water, quiet, seemingly dark but bright. After getting off theboat, we went straight to the tallest building in Shanghai, the world financialcenter.

We took the high-speed elevator in the global financial center. I heardthat it had a maximum speed of 10 meters per second. In less than 2 minutes, wearrived at the top of the building. The floor was transparent everywhere.Walking on it was really a pleasure to "see all the mountains and small ones".At first glance, there are colorful lights everywhere, cars are shuttling, andthe Huangpu River is even more beautiful. The stars on the opposite side of theOriental Pearl TV Tower rain are linked into one piece, forming a beautifulscene of "sky and even Pujiang". I heard that Shanghais electricity bill willspend nearly 300 thousand yuan a day.

I looked at the charming lights motionless, only feel the heart clear aswater, I, intoxicated!

大家都知道上海的外滩吧!那里可以看得上是我国最繁荣的地方之一，但曾经的被虏也让她有一段凄惨的历史：1845年，英国吧她划为了自己的租界地，1849年，法国也强占了外滩。可今天呈现在世人面前的她又是多么美丽多么繁荣呀!

去年暑假，我和妈妈一同来到了这个被人们称为"万国建筑博览"的黄土地上。刚到目的地，这黄浦江的水浪就深深的吸引了我的眼球，青绿的水藻在水里滑动这它那轻柔又纤细的腰肢。

一下车，我们来到了中国太平洋保险公司总部：亚细亚大楼，它的门楣上还运用了断花式的设计，优美生动。再往前走，我们来到了东风饭店，曾经，他是上海最豪华的俱乐部——上海总会。它有一条110多英尺的吧台，号称远东最长的吧台。我们继续前进，来到了一幢红房子前，经导游说明，我才知道，原来这就是当年大名鼎鼎的轮船招商局。漫步在这黄浦江岸，上海的名楼名塔一览无遗：和平饭店，浦东发展大厦以及黄浦江对面的东方明珠电视塔，环球金融中心......

来到十里南京路的尽头，那儿有一座青铜浇注的塑像，他凝视着这里的一花一草，他是谁呢?他就是新中国第一任上海市的市长——陈毅将军，看着着座塑像，我仿佛看到了陈毅将军当年在风雨中视查工作。他那种公朴的形象和和蔼可亲、虚怀若谷的风度

再一次深深的烙印在了我的心里。

天渐渐暗下来了。我们来到饭店，匆匆吃过之后，我们又回到外滩。此时的天已成了暗红色，天空中，万家的灯火也陆续打开了，我们来到"外滩游轮码头"打算坐船观光。

我们来到了游轮上，船在黄浦江上缓缓行驶，岸上的灯光印在水面上，仿佛成了一阔副油画，水，静静的，看似漆黑却透出亮丽。下了船后，我们直奔上海最高的建筑——环球金融中心。

我们在环球金融中心乘高速电梯，听说他有最高10米每秒的速度呢!不出2分钟，我们来到了楼顶100楼，在哪儿，地板都是透明的，走在上面真是有种"一览众山小"的快感。一眼望去，到处是五彩的灯火，到处是汽车在穿梭，那黄浦江也更美了，对面的东方明珠广播电视塔雨天上的星星连成一片，形成了"天星连浦江"的美丽景象，听说上海一天的电费就得花去近30万元呢!

我一动不动的望着这迷人的灯火，只觉得心清如水，我，陶醉了!

Ladies and gentlemen

On this day, we will visit Huashan Mountain, which is known as "stone forlotus and cloud for platform". Huashan, also known as Taihua mountain, islocated in the south of Huayin City, 120 kilometers east of Xian city.

Huashan Mountain, known as Xiyue in ancient times, is one of the fivemountains in China. It is named Huashan Mountain because its peaks are naturallyarranged like flowers. In December 1992, Huishan was rated as one of the top 40scenic spots in China. Even friends who have never been to Huashan will learnabout the situation of Huashan from some funny myths and anecdotes, such as "aroad to Huashan since ancient times", "fairy palm of Huayue", "aloes splittingmountain to save mother", "Huashan discussing sword", and modern wisdom tocapture Huashan. These Beautiful myths and stories reflect peoples yearning andworship for Huashan since ancient times.

South China mountain overlooks the Yellow River in the north and QinlingMountains in the south. It is known as "Huashan ruli". The whole mountain hassimple lines, such as knife cutting and axe splitting. The unique peaks areabrupt and majestic. It is known as "the most dangerous mountain in theworld".

When it comes to strangeness, it is made up of a huge and complete piece ofgranite. The ancients said, "its not strange that there are no stones in themountain, its not strange that there are no pure stones." "Huashan is cut intofour directions, its width is ten li, its height is five thousand Ren, one stoneis also called" Daqi ". Huashan has five main peaks, among which the East, Westand South peaks are the highest, and the three peaks stand in opposition,"flying out of the clouds and falling into the Yellow River", known as "threepeaks outside the sky". When it comes to danger, the "Changkong plank road"erected in the air, the "Quanzhen rock" engraved on the overhanging rock, the"Yaozi turning over" with three sides of the air, the "Yaozi turning over" withconvex top and concave bottom, and the "qianchitong", "baichixia", "Laojunfurrow", "chaerya" and "canglongling" dug on the overhanging rock of the cliffare all extremely dangerous. "Huashan has been a road since ancient times.".There is only a north-south line of roads in the mountains, about 10 kilometerslong, winding and rugged. In many places, it can be said that "one man is incharge of the pass, ten thousand men are not allowed to open.".

Huashan not only has magnificent natural landscape, but also has richhistorical and cultural accumulation, and cultural landscape is everywhere.Along the way up and down the mountain and along the Valley Road, inscriptions,poems and stone carvings will make people linger.

My friends, what we are here now is yuquanyuan. It is said that because thespring water there is connected with the jade well on the top of the mountain,the water quality is pure and sweet, so it is called "yuquanyuan". It is theonly way to climb Mount Hua. It is said that it was built by Chen Tuan, ahermit. In the courtyard, the pavilions and corridors are zigzag, and thesprings are murmuring. It is a tourist attraction. Yuquan temple, together withthe Dongdao temple and Zhenyue palace that we will see later, are places forTaoist activities. Now there are 53 temples. Most of the buildings in thecourtyard were rebuilt in the Qianlong period of Qing Dynasty.

Dear friends, we are now at the foot of Beifeng, one of the five peaks. Itis about 10 kilometers away from the mouth of Huashan Valley, which is thesource of water flow in Huashan valley. Please follow the direction of my fingerto see the trees. Maybe many people will know it. Yes, its the coca tree.There, the green trees float here, so it is called "qingkeping".

From qingkeping to huixinshi. The climbing road turns from a flat stoneroad to a narrow stone ladder cut on the cliff. Seeing the mountain roadcircling up, many tourists with weak will will turn their minds to look at themountain and sigh and come back in vain.

Friends, we have reached the north peak now. After the previous threepasses, I think you have a necessary understanding of Huashan insurance. Thenorth peak is named Yuntai peak, 1550 meters above sea level, where themountains are towering, hanging on three sides, majestic and unique, just like acloud, so it is named because it is just like a Yuntai. Its height is thelowest, but it has a very important geographical location. It is the pivot ofthe four peaks. The pavilion in front of us is called "military soul Pavilion",the name of which comes from the feature film "outwit Huashan".

Now we come to Zhongfeng. Zhongfeng is also called Yunv peak. It is saidthat in the spring and Autumn period, Xiao Shi, a hermit in Huashan, was good atplaying the flute. The beautiful sound of the flute won the admiration ofNongyu, the youngest daughter of Duke mu of Qin. She put down her luxurious andcomfortable life in the palace and lived in seclusion with Xiao Shi. Many yearslater, they became immortals and went away by the Phoenix. Many scenic spots onthe mountain also got their names. There are jade girl shampoo basin, sacrificetree, etc. Because of this beautiful love story, Huashan is endowed with someromance and gentleness after it is broad, solemn and deep.

After Zhongfeng, I will accompany you to Dongfeng.

Dongfeng, also known as Chaoyang peak, has a Chaoyang terrace at the top,which is the best place to watch the sunrise. Mountains are not high, butimmortals are famous. Huashan is said to be a place where many immortals live.Taoist fairyland. It is said that Zhao Kuangyin, the song Taizu, and Chen Tuan,the Huashan hermit, are in a lonely peak, where they play chess. Chen Tuan, alsoknown as Mr. Xiyi, was a virtuous man. After discussion, they decided to bet onHuashan. As a result, he lost to Chen Tuan. According to the pre-determinedconditions, Huashan became the Taoists Taoist center and would receive foodforever. On the East Cliff of Dongfeng, there is a natural pattern. You see, isit like a giant palm? This giant palm is more than 20 feet long. Its fivefingers are uneven, and its middle finger runs straight through the peak. Whenthe sun shines, its five fingers are like hanging on the picture. This is theso-called "Huayue fairy palm" which is the first of the eight scenic spots inGuanzhong. It is said that a long time ago, Huashan Mountain was connected withZhongtiao Mountain, and the right foot ascended to open Zhongtiao Mountain toopen a passage for the Yellow River. What we see now is the fingerprints left bythe fingers of the river god in tuohua mountain.

Nanfeng, also known as Luoyan peak, is the highest peak of HuashanMountain, with an altitude of 2160 meters. It is like a fairyland when you comethere. As the ancient poem says, "only the sky is above, and there is nomountain with Qi. When you look up, the red sun is near, and when you look down,the white clouds are low.". There are pine forests all around, mixed withcypresses, meandering for several miles, dense shade closed. At the moment, whatwe see in front of our eyes is the fourth danger "long empty stack fatigue".Changkong plank road is one of the most dangerous places in Huashan. Without thecourage and determination of others, I dare not travel. There is "taishangquan"at the top of the peak. The water in the pool is green and clear, which isinexhaustible all the year round. It is commonly known as "yangtianchi". Thereare many inscriptions on the cliff, most of which are inscribed by poets of Mingand Qing Dynasties and modern times. "Hua Shan Lun Jian" described in themartial arts novel biography of archery heroes probably happened in Nanfeng.

We are now coming to the essence of Huashan. Xifeng, also known as Lianhuapeak, gets its name from the big stone on the right side in front of Cuiyuntemple on the top of the peak. It looks like a lotus. The peak is extremelysteep, like a sword cutting, standing on a cliff. At the top of the peak is the"star picking platform". When you look down from the platform, you can see thevast Qinchuan River, the blue sky, the Wei and Luo rivers, and the Yellow River.Li Baiguan, a great poet of the Tang Dynasty, wrote a beautiful poem after thisscene: "the west mountain is magnificent, and the Yellow River is like silk inthe sky.".

The huge stone we see at the moment is called "axe cleaving stone". Thestone body has a 0. There is a 66 meter wide crack. There is also a touchinglegend about this crack. The Virgin Mary, the youngest daughter of the JadeEmperor, fell in love with jindanxi, who was beaten down by the Jade Emperor,and married. Yang Jian, the God of Erlang, cursed his sister, the third VirginMary, for marrying a mortal, which violated the rule of heaven. So she put thethird Virgin Mary under the huge stone at the top of the West peak of HuashanMountain. Later, the third virgin gave birth to a son named Chenxiang. WhenChenxiang grew up, she came to Huashan Mountain and defeated Yang Jian. Sherescued her mother from the huge stone on her mothers body, and the wholefamily got together. This is where the myth of "splitting mountains to savemother" took place.

For hundreds of millions of years, the uncanny craftsmanship has created abreathtaking and magnificent natural landscape of Huashan. For thousands ofyears, the praise of scholars has accumulated rich cultural connotation ofHuashan. It can be said that Huashan is closely linked with Huaxia, which is thesymbol of the Chinese nation. From the legends and anecdotes about Huashan, wecan see that it is not only broad, tactful, elegant, deep and serious, but alsohumorous, witty, and even romantic and gentle. Isnt that the portrayal of ourChinese nation?

There, the tour of Huashan is coming to an end. I hope my explanation willleave you a perfect memory!!

Located 1 km to the west of Xiahe County, daxiahe river forms a basinbetween Longshan and Fengshan. The Tibetan people call it a cornucopia, andLabrang temple is located on the cornucopia. Together with the DrepungMonastery, Sera Monastery, Gandan monastery, tashilumbu monastery and talmonastery in Qinghai, it is called the six major monasteries of the Gelug Sect(yellow sect) of Lamaism in China. Labrang is the transliteration of Tibetan"lazhang", which means the place where the Buddhist palace is located.

The temple was built in 1709, the 48th year of the reign of Emperor Kangxiof the Qing Dynasty. There are 18 magnificent Buddhist temples, more than 10000monk houses, numerous buildings and red walls, with extraordinary momentum.Among them, the most famous is the six ZHACANG.

Good morning, ladies and gentlemen:

I am very glad to serve as your guide today. You can call me Lily. Pleasekeep my name card at hand. f you have any trouble or lose your way, just callme. My number is here. I’ll do my best to serve for you.

Now we are in front of the Prince Gong’s Mansion. It was the residence ofHe Shen. He was the Prime Ministery and the Minister of Defence in the years ofQanlong, the most prosperous stage of Qing Dynasty. In1850s, the mansion wasbestowed on Prince Gong. Compared with the Forbidden City, it seems to be alittle less famous. Why we come here ? The answer is its first owner, He Shen,is a very famous person in Chinese history. Every Chinese knows him no matterthe kids or the old. There are even many novels, poems, movies and TV seriestelling his story. Why is he so well-known? Because he was the corruptestofficial in Chinese history. You can’t imagine how large amount of his graft is.The successive Emperor Jiaqing sentenced He′to death and took possession of histreasure. The money he left behind amounted to 4,000 tons of silver, equalingten years’ income of the national treasury. If you change it into US dollars, itis 520 billion! I wonder how he got so large amount of money in only one life.Certainly, he paid lots of manpowers and materials to build his own mansion. Itis the largest and the best preserved Prince Mansion in Beijing. As you see, thePalace Museum is grand, national and formal. I think this one is more personal.You can see another style of Chinese building . Now, let’s begin our wonderfulvisit. Follow me, please!

The gate you see is called Western Gate. Are you familiar with it? Yes, thearchitect learned something from Europe. Nowadays, it is very common to seethere are different kinds of styles coming from different countries in a garden.But in Qing Dynasty, the emperor didn’t want any communication with othercountries. So this kind of gate was really rare, at that time. There were onlythree Western Gates all over the country. One was this. The other two were bothin imperial garden.

Let’s enter the garden.. Can you smell the fresh air and sweet fragrance?It’s really comfortable. Pay attention to the thin stone, please. It is notartificial but natural. ts name is Joy Peak. In China, it’s tradition to put ahuge stone or screen in front of the gate. It can protect the good luck andwealth from flowing away and ward off evil spirits. It is still true today.Besides, because of its existence you can’t see the inner scene directly. You’llbe curious and have a strong desire to go in. But, this one has another specialfunction. Look at it using you imagination. What does it look like? (Here andhere)Yes ! It looks like a holy mother hugging her son. Even though He′had manywives, he still didn’t have a son in his middle age. He was so worried aboutthis until he found this stone. He expected it would bring him a son. It iswonderful that He′got the only son in his life the next year. What a happycoincidence!

After going around the stone, the Bat Pond comes into our view. It getsthis name because its shape was like a bat. Why he like such an animal? Evenmyself as a Chinese can’t understand this at first. IN most people’s mind, thisanimal represents something evil. Now I get the answer. In Chinese, thepronunciation of bat is…and the pronunciation of happiness is…They are the same!There are 9999 bats in the garden. This is one of the specialties of PrinceGong’s Mansion. Of course, they are not real, hey are pictures or symbols. Haveyou noticed the four elm trees around the pond? Do you feel them a littlestrange? Look! They all grow to the heart of the pond, Their branches are abovethe pond. As a result, when autumn comes, the fruit and leaves of them will dropinto the pond.

Are you confused? Why he built this? Of course, it has a further meaning.The shape of elm’s fruit and leaves is very similar with Chinese bronze coin.He′hinted his ambition to gather all the wealth in his own wallet. At last heactually got it. In addition, all the water in the mansion is circulating. Itwill keep fresh and clear all the year round. If you are careful enough, you mayfind that there are few rivers in Beijing. In ancient time, if you wanted ariver flow over your garden, you must get the emperor’s permission. So it is afairly great honor to have this. You can see how much the emperor appreciateHe′! You can go around to take photos here. It will bring you good luck andwealth because of the pong and the artificial hill. There is a great secretunder the hill. I will tell it to you after a while. Now, if you have anyquestion, ask me please! We will climb the hill after a quarter. Is that OK?

Hello everyone! Today Ill take you to Prince Gongs mansion. You can callme director Chen.

The building of Prince Gongqins mansion can be divided into two parts: themansion and the garden. After entering the gate and standing in the courtyard,we will find that the mansion of Prince Gongqins mansion is composed of manyquadrangles. I saw houses lined up on both sides. The four corners of the houseare pointed, the house is gray, and there are carved bat statues on the roof.After walking through the Zhengyang gate, you come to the back garden. There aremany kinds of flowers in the back garden, including green bamboo and pink rose.There is also an artificial lake in the shape of a bat. It shows the nobilityand luxury of the royal family. Bat shaped objects and carved bats can be seeneverywhere in Prince Gongqins residence, because he Yao is a Hui people, andbats bat is homonymous with blessings blessing. He was very clever and likedby the emperor. At that time, he was among the top ten thousand people under theemperor. The emperor prayed for long live, and he wanted to be blessed.According to records, there were 9999 bats large and small in Prince Gongsmansion. Together with the blessing stele in the back garden, the blessing wasjust Wanfu.

There are three treasures in Prince Gongs mansion. The first is thetreasure house. It is 156 meters long and has 108 rooms. The rear window of eachroom is different. It is speculated that it is the mark used by He Yao todistinguish the categories of treasures, because so many treasures have noaccount books. These treasures are equivalent to one billion taels of silver.Its a lot more than the Treasury at that time. The second is the gate to theback garden, which is called the western gate. It is hand carved with whitejade. It was the only arch in China at that time. The third is the theater,because emperor Qianling often came to the theater. So it became famous.

One treasure is the word "Fu" written by Emperor Kangxi. The word "Fu" iscomposed of Zi, Cai, duo, Shou and Tian. It means more sons, more talents, morelongevity and more fields. Because the emperor of Qianling doted on he Lu, hegave this stele to him.

This is the end of todays one-day tour of Prince Gongqins residence.Welcome to our next visit.

Hello, everyone. Welcome to Lushan. My name is Qiu. You can call me Qiuguide. Its a great honor to be your guide. Let me show you the charm of LushanMountain.

Since ancient times, countless scholars havevisited Lushan Mountain, leaving more than 4000 poems and songs for them. Whenwe come to Donglin temple, I begin to introduce: Huiyuan, a famous monk of PudaiDynasty (334-416 A.D.), established Donglin temple in the mountains, created thePure Land Sect in Buddhism, and made Lushan an an important religious resort infeudal China. Bailudong academy, which remains today, is the central institutionof education in ancient China. The Mount Lu also features architecturalmasterpieces of various styles, including the Rome style and brothers stylechurches, the Byzantine architecture that combines the eastern and Western artforms, and the Japanese architecture and Islamic temple. Lushan Mountain notonly has beautiful natural scenery, but also has rich and splendid culturalconnotation. Then we swam the hero slope, the plant circle`

Tourists, todays tour is over. Thank you for visiting the worldheritage.

Good morning，everyone!Its my honor to be your guide today.Now we are going to visit the Great Wall.

The Great Wall,symbolizing Chinas ancient civilization,is one of the most famous,grand and splendid ancient construction wonders in the world.It is just like a giant dragon starting from Yalu River and crossing high mountains,deserts and grassland to the Pamirs Plateau,the roof of the world from east to west in the northern part of China.

For many centruries,the Great Wall,as a military gigantic defensive project kept out the invading troops of the northern nomadic tribes.Now,the Graet Wall has become a famous historical senic spot for tourists,and it liays a role in bridging the friendship between the Chinese people and peoples in different parts of the world.

The Great Wall first began in the seventh century BC.At that time,it was called Spring and Autumn Period.The first section of wall,that appeared in China,was built by Kingdom Qi and Kingdom Chu.They had a high wall which was called "square wall" or "square city",built surrounding thier own territories to deffend the attacks of their neighbouring enemy.So it was also known as the Qi Wall or the Chu Wall.During the Warring State Period,seven states named Qi,Chu,Yan,Zhao,Han ,Wei and Qin bacame the most powerful states.In order to defend themselves against the refringing enemy from the neighbouring states,all the kigdoms had high walla built around their own territories.

In Chinese history,large-scale construction of the Great Wall was concentrated in three dynasties:Qin,Han and Ming dynasties.The section of the wall began to be called the Graet Wallin the time of Qinshihuang.He linked up the separate sections of high walls in order to ward off harrassment by the Huns,and for the use of further defensive projects.The Qin Great Wall started from Lintao,Gansu Province in the west and ended in Lioadong,Liaoning Province in the east,totally 5,000 kilometers.The Han Great Wall started from the Liaodong Peninsula in the east,and ended at the foot of the Tianshan Mountain in Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Rigion,with a total length of 10,000 kilometers.In the Ming Dynasty,Emperor Zhuyuanzhang reconstructed the Great Wall because of the threats of the remaining forces and the ethnic tribe of “Nv Zhen".The Graet Wall could help prevent the remnent forces of the Yuan Court from harrassing and securing the northern territories.The Ming Great Wall was more than 7,000 kilometers from Yalu River in Liaoning Province in the east,to Jiayuguan Pass in Gansu Province in the west.It passes nine cities,provinces and autonomous regions of Liaoning,Hebei,Tianjin,Beijing,Shanxi,Inner Mongolia,Shaanxi,Ningxia and Gansu.

The most important two sections in Beijing were the Great Wall at Juyongguan and Badaling.Juyongguan Pass is located at 50 kilometers northJwest of downtown Beijing,The mountains flanking the valley have many graceful peaks and it used to one of the famous "Eight Views of Yanjing".

Juyongguan was built in a mountain gap between mountain peaks with only one road leading to the capital Beijing,which determined its military signifacance in ancient times through many dynasties and it has been consistently valuable to military strategists. The name "Juyong" means "a place of poor laborers".In order to commemorate the dead people,the Great Wall wass built here,we call it "Juyongguan Pass".There is an ancient marblr platform here known as "Cloud Terrace".It was built during the Yuan Dynasty and used as "the Crossing Road Pagoda".The Cloud Terrace is 9.5 meters high,26.8meters from east to west,17.6meters from north to south at the base.Inside the arched passage of Cloud Terrace,there are carved in relief Buddist images on the wall,such as the Rour Heavenly Kings,the Buddha of Ten Directions and 1,000 Buddha Statues.There are also Buddha scriptures inscribed on the stone wall in the Sanskrit,Tibetan,Basiba,Xixia,Uyger and Han languages.They offer us wonderful examples of their exquisite workmanship and vividness in carving.Tey are extremely valuable to study the Buddhism and ancient languages.

The Badaling Great Wall is about 75 kilometers northwest of Beijing,and it is the best preserved partof the Great Wall."Bada" means "convenient transportation to all directions".From here,people can go all directions;hence the name "Badaling".Badaling Pass was an outpost of Juyongguan Pass.The wall here rose high on the mountain ridge.It used to be more important than Juyongguan Pass in the defence of Beijing.An old saying can be the best description:"It needs only one man to block ten thousand troops".

Nxet,Ill say something about the main force of the constrction work.It was composed of soiders,criminals and the local laborers.At that time,the common transportation method was to carry the building materials by backbreaking labor.So it is a difficult and long process.

The Badaling section is about 12 kilometers long with 24 watchtowers and 4 wall platforms.there are 4 characters inscribed on the eastern pass of Badaling:"Juyongwaizhen" which means there was another strategic town outside the Juyongguan Pass.The western pas was carved "Beimensuoyue" which means ”a key to the north gate",describing that Badaling Pass was just like a lock on the gate of Beijing.If thegate was unlocked by a key,Beijing would be open.In order to make warning signals,Beacon Towers were built on both sides of the wallat the connanding points,which were at the top of the mountains or the twists and turns.Whenever the enemy was sighted,fires were lit on the top of Beacon Tower at night,and smoke was made during the daytime,There were also Watch Towers built here,which for watching over the invading enemy.

其实，把杭州比喻成人间天堂，很大程度上是因为有了西湖。千百年来，西湖风景有着经久不衰的魅力，她的丰姿倩影，令人一见钟情。就连唐朝大诗人白居易离开杭州时还念念不忘西湖，“未能抛得杭州去，一半勾留是此湖。”诗人说他之所以舍不得离开杭州，其主要原因就是因为杭州有一个美丽迷人的西湖。天下西湖三十六，就中最好是杭州啊!

相传在古时候，天上有一条玉龙和一只金凤。它们在银河里找到一块玉石，辛辛苦苦，经过许多年，把这块玉石琢磨成了一颗金光闪耀的明珠。这颗明珠光芒四射。照到哪里，哪里便山明水秀，五谷丰登。后来，消息传到了天宫，王母娘娘派了天兵天将抢走了明珠。玉龙和金凤赶到天宫，与王母娘娘发生了争斗，不慎把明珠掉落在人间，变成了明镜般的西湖。玉龙和金凤不舍得离开心爱的明珠，就将落到杭州玉龙山(现在的玉皇山)和凤凰山，永远守护着美丽的西湖。走进西湖，湖面如镜，难怪在华夏的四大爱情传说中，其中两个爱情传说就发生在次地。断桥、长桥，平凡的桥梁却在传说中变得千娇百媚。在长桥上，梁祝在这相送十八里，仿佛见到当年他们难舍难分的情境。断桥不断，晴天送油伞的传说更是使人联想翩翩。

“水光潋滟晴方好，山色空蒙雨亦奇。欲把西湖比西子，淡妆浓抹总相宜。”的东坡绝句道出了西湖的柔美和典雅。所以，诗人把西湖比作我国的美人西施，于是，西湖又多了一个“西子湖”的美称。

西湖是一首诗、一幅画、一位楚楚动人的少女。“忆江南，最忆是杭州。山寺月中寻桂子，郡亭枕上看潮头。何日更重游?”白居易的这首诗是赞美西湖的千古绝唱。各位游客，愉快的西湖一日游已经结束了，感谢大家对我的配合。大家玩得开心吗?希望西湖的山山水水永远留在您美好的回忆中。
