游览故宫的导游词（优秀20篇）

各位游客大家好

我先简单的介绍一下故宫、故宫是世界上显存规模最大的古代皇家宫殿建筑群、故宫又叫紫禁城、它整座城池建成于公元1420xx年、位于天安门广场北侧、自故宫建成后先后有明清24位皇帝在此执政、

故宫平面呈长方形、南北长960米、东西宽750米、全面积72万平方米、整座紫禁城被宽52米的护城河所环绕、城墙高10米、可谓是“城高池宽”、

故宫开四门、座北朝南、南门为午门、即正门、北门为神武门、东为东华门、西为西华门、

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、据说当年紫禁城共有宫殿九千九百九十九间半、如果一个婴儿从哇哇坠地开始每晚住不同的房间、等他住遍所有的房间后已经是一个27岁的年轻人了、

接下来、我们将要参观的是午门、在10米高的城墙上耸立着五座崇楼、楼顶飞檐翅起、从上面看就像五只展翅欲飞的凤凰、故午门又称五凤楼、它位于端门之北、雄伟壮观、

午门在明代这里是举行献俘大典的地方、大家可能听说过“推出五门斩首”、这里虽是午门、但却不是砍头的地方、在明朝的时候、这里是廷杖之所、

进入故宫的院落、首先出现在我们面前的是五座汉白玉石桥、跨过金水桥就来到了太和门广场、这里既是明代皇帝御门听证时百官待驾的地方、

接下来参观的是太和殿广场及太和殿、这里是皇家举行盛大典礼的地方、太和殿广场基本呈正方形、整个院落平坦宽阔、气势非凡、

太和殿坐落在八米多的汉白玉基座之上、庄严肃穆、在每一层基座的边缘都伸出很多小龙、那些小龙是传说中一种没有角的龙、他们是大殿的排水系统、每个龙头的嘴里都有一个小孔、即喷水孔、三层基座之上共设有小龙头1142个、每当下大雨的时候、雨水便从1142个龙头嘴里的小孔内排出、非常壮观、为宫中一景、被称为“千龙吐水”、

太和殿是整座紫禁城内级别最高的建筑、只有皇帝举行盛大典礼时才使用、象征皇权的至高无上、太和殿俗称金銮殿、是我国现存木结构大殿的杰出典范之作、太和殿始建于1420xx年、当时叫奉天殿、后来、改叫皇极殿、清顺治皇帝登基后、重修三大殿、并将皇极殿改为太和殿、意思是、宇宙间的一切关系都可以得到协调的意思、后来康熙年间又重修第二次、才有今天的规模、它是紫禁城内大殿之最、装饰用的彩绘为最高等级的金龙和玺、殿顶形式为最高等级的重檐庑殿顶、就连大殿上的吻兽也是我国目前最大的、总之出处显示“第一”、那是“老子天下第一”思想的体现、

大殿内的陈设简单而又富丽堂皇、地上是“金砖漫地”、皇帝的九龙宝座位于二米高的楠木高台上、皇帝升座后、颇有居庙堂之高、君临天下之威风、宝座前陈设有宝象、仙鹤、香亭等物品、都取其美好的寓意、

在太和殿外的露台上左右各有一只乌龟和仙鹤、取之龟鹤延年之意、江山社稷万代相传、此外、还有日晷、嘉量、是古代的计时工具和计量器具、象征皇帝公正无私、对天下百姓都是坦诚、平等的、

看完了太和殿，我们再来看中和殿。大家请看!中和殿是皇帝在大典前等待吉时、稍事休息的地方。下面，请大家跟我来一起参观当时的国宴厅--保和殿。各位朋友，这座大殿是故宫前朝三大殿中的最后一座大殿，叫保和殿。这座大殿被称为清代的国宴厅及科举考场。

现在我们来到了乾清宫，这是皇帝在紫禁城中居住和处理日常政事的地方。乾清宫分为中殿、东暖阁及西暖阁三个部分。正殿是皇帝处理日常政务、临时按见大臣的地方，殿中设有皇帝宝座及御案，正中挂着一块“正大光明”匾，那是清朝皇帝的祖训，作为治国、修身、平天下的基本准则。东、西暖阁是皇帝晚上住宿的地方。

现在请各位随我去参观交泰殿。各位请看，这座四角攒尖顶的大殿叫交泰殿，这座建筑是明清两朝皇后过生日时举行寿庆活动的地方。在大殿后墙匾额上有“无为”二字，那里是康熙皇帝的御笔，意思是希望后代能够以德制国，施以仁政，以图国家长治久安。

大家现在看到的是坤宁宫、坤宁宫是在紫禁城内居住的地方、坤宁即是像大地一样宁静、安忍不动、意思是说皇后是后宫之主、母仪天下、应该有大地一样安忍不动的胸怀、后来、自雍正皇帝开始坤宁宫西部改成了萨满教的祭祀场所、东部改为皇帝大婚的洞房、

各位朋友，现在我们来到了紫禁城的后花园--御花园，它位于北京故宫中轴线最北端、这里是帝后们的休闲娱乐的场所。整个花园呈长方形，占地虽然只有1.2万平方米，但却容纳了大小20多座不同风格的建筑。御花园以钦安殿为中心、中轴线上的唯一的一所宗教性建筑、

神武门是紫禁城的北门，明代曾叫玄武门，清代为了避讳康熙皇帝玄烨的“玄”字，改为神武门。神武门是皇家的报时台，原来门楼上设有钟鼓，每天早晨鸣钟，晚上击鼓，为在紫禁城居住的帝后们报时，此外皇帝外出巡幸也出此门。

好了、我们就先讲到这里、下面给大家2个小时自由参观的时间、大家要保护好自己的随身物品、保护好文化遗产、希望大家玩的愉快、

各位游客你们好!欢迎来到北京故宫观光旅游，希望大家通过我的介绍，对北京故宫留下美好的印象，谢谢!

现在展示在你们面前的就是气势雄伟的故宫。故宫位于北京中心，又称紫禁城，这里曾居住过24位皇帝，是明清两代的皇宫，北京故宫是我国现存最大、最完整的古建筑群，总面积在12万多平方米，有殿宇宫室9999间半，其中最有名的是三大殿和天安门，宫殿四周围着高10米、长340米的宫墙，墙外引人注目的护城河有52米宽。

三大殿中的太和殿是最富丽堂皇的建筑，也称金銮殿。是皇帝举行大典的地方，殿高28米，东西63米，南北35米，有直径达1米的大柱92根，御座设在殿内高2米的台上，后面有精雕细刻的围屏，整个大殿金碧辉煌、庄严绚丽。

今天的观光旅游将结束，美丽的故宫欢迎您下次光临，谢谢!

各位伴侣，欢迎大家去到沈阳，我是您们的导游，沈梦，大家可以或许叫我沈导游，也可以叫我梦导，我更喜欢您们加我梦导，好了，先简答给大家介绍一下，在繁华的沈阳今乡中央，有一座巍峨庄宽的清代宫殿修建群。等于我们古天的目的地——沈阳故宫。

依修建光阴以及布局，沈阳故宫的修建可分为三全数，它们星散是东路、中路、西路。古天，河北导游词，我们就按这个顺序。首先观光东路修建。

沈阳故宫以其独特的修建艺术以及特殊的汗青而闻名中外，在这片绚丽多彩，雄伟多姿的修建群中，最今老，最具特色的等于我们面前的大政殿。

大政殿初创于1625年，是处理国家政务以及入行庆典行为的次要场所之一。做为最早使用以及最为首要的宫殿之一。许多重大汗青事宜都以大政殿为舞台演出。

大清门是沈阳故宫的正门，为皇帝临朝前，文武百官候朝之处。它便是演义小说中雅称的“午朝门”。大清门的屋顶满铺黄琉璃瓦并衬以绿色剪边，既保管了以黄为尊的传统观念，又表现了满族对故城山林的深薄眷念。从而形成了区分南京故宫的一个特点——宫殿顶覆以黄琉璃瓦镶以绿色剪边。

穿过大清门，南望便是崇政殿。崇政殿雅称“金銮殿”，是清太宗皇太极入行普通朝会之处。

各位伴侣，今代宫殿修建布局讲究“前朝后寝”。看过了皇帝上朝的金銮殿，请大家随我往观光帝后的寝宫。

凤凰楼为宴饮、议事之所，是当年沈阳乡的最高修建，诗称“欲穷千里目，更上一层楼”可谓非常贴切。登上凤凰楼仰瞰四周，万般景物一览无余，可饱览盛京齐景，也可观赏日出。“凤楼晓日”是当年著名的盛京八景之一。

各位伴侣，穿过凤凰楼底层的通叙后，我们就入进了后妃居住的台上五官。 台上五官是清宁宫、闭雎宫、麟趾宫、衍庆宫、永福宫。

现在请大家随我观光皇太极以及皇后的寝宫——清宁宫。

清宁宫东梢门称“暖阁”，是帝后的寝室。暖阁内乱争分北南两室，两室均设火炕。1643年八月初九，皇太极在暖阁内乱争驾崩，终年52岁，后葬于沈阳昭陵，即南陵。

各位伴侣，现在请随我往观光西路修建。西路修于1782年至1783年，次要搜罗：戏台、嘉荫堂、文溯阁等。

说起文溯阁，我们没有能没有提到坤隆皇帝以及《四库齐书》。出于增强文化统乱的需要，坤隆皇帝于1772年下诏访求世界匿书，历经十余年光阴编成一部大型丛书。该书分经、史、子、集四部，以是称为《四库齐书》。书建成后，抄录七部，在齐国修七座匿书阁星散保匿，沈阳故宫的文溯阁便是此中之一。

看到这里，我们古天的观光已经亲近尾声。望故宫之行能给你留下优美的回忆。

大家好!我的名字叫沈蕾，是你们这次旅行的导游，你们可以叫我沈导，在这里首先祝你们旅游愉快!下车时，请大家小心阶梯。

下面我给你们介绍介绍故宫吧!北京故宫，又名紫禁城，位于北京市中心。今天人们称它为故宫，意为过去的皇宫。它是明朝皇帝朱棣征调无数能工巧匠，用了20xx年时间建成的宏伟建筑。故宫占地72万平方米，共有房屋9000多间，是世界上规模最大、保存最完好的古代皇宫建筑群。宫殿沿着一条南北走向的中轴线排列，左右对称，布局严整。故宫外沿还有4个门，正门名午门、东门名东华门、西门名西华门、北门名神武门。外朝最引人注意的是三座大殿:太和殿、中和殿和保和殿，我也不细细介绍了，过一会儿你们可以自由游赏。

绕过三大殿，我们到了故宫的后半部分，以乾清宫、交泰殿和坤宁宫为中心，东西两侧有东六宫和西六宫，主要是皇帝和后妃居住的地方。与外朝建筑的雄伟壮丽不同，内廷非常富有生活气息。其中乾清宫是皇帝的寝宫，坤宁宫在明朝是皇后的寝宫。走完了坤宁宫，我们到了后面的御花园，这里是专供皇帝和后妃休息、游玩的场所，园内有高耸的松柏、珍贵的花木和玲珑别致山石。

好了，我的介绍到这儿结束了，你们可以随意游赏，17:30分后从东门的东华门出来集合。请注意不要在园内乱扔垃圾、随意刻写，祝你们旅途愉快!

大家好!欢迎光临世界文化遗产——颐和园。我是你们的导游，我姓许，你们能够叫我许导游。很荣幸为大家服务。此刻我带大家一齐去游览颐和园，大家跟我来吧!

各位游客，那里就是有名的长廊，那里长七百多米，分成273间。请大家抬起头，看!每一间的横槛上都有五彩缤纷的画，画着：人物、花草、风景，你们相信吗?这几千幅画当中没有哪两幅是相同的。大家细细欣赏吧!

我们此刻去的就是万寿山。展此刻你们眼前的这座山就是万寿山。请你们抬头向上望，耸立在半山腰上的那座八角宝塔形的三层建筑就是佛香阁。下面的一排排金碧辉煌的宫殿，那就是排云殿。此刻我们去的是昆明湖，这湖面积大约220平方米，湖中心还有个小岛。走过石桥，就能够去小岛上，这座石桥有十七个桥洞，叫十七孔桥，你们能够走过石桥，去小岛上玩。

此刻大家能够自由活动，但是要注意：1、不能随地扔垃圾2、不能乱涂乱画3、要注意安全。然后几小时后集合，最后我祝大家旅程愉快!

大家好!我是小吴，这天由我来带领大家游览沈阳故宫。沈阳故宫始建于后金天命十年(1625年)，建成于清崇德元年(1636年)，是清太祖努尔哈赤和清太宗皇太极营造和使用过的宫殿。清世祖福临也曾在那里继位，改元“顺治”、并于当年入关，统治全中国。沈阳故宫占地6万多平方米，全部建筑计300多间，共组成20多个院落。按其布局，可分为东路、中路和西路三大部分。我们计划游用三个小时的时光去游览，此刻我们已将到了，大家下车，先听我说几句。

首先，我告诉大家，注意的事项。第一，大家要紧跟我身后，不要走丢了。第二，要在规定的时光内集合，如果找不到了，请拨打我的手机。第三，不要乱扔东西，讲卫生。第四，持续安静，不要大喊大叫。好了，出发了。

沈阳故宫是中国现存仅次于北京故宫的最完整的皇宫建筑。在建筑艺术上承袭了中国古代建筑的传统，集汉、满、蒙族艺术为一体，具有很高的历史和艺术价值。

大家看，这座占地六万平方米的古建筑群始建于625年，建成于1636年，全部建筑90余所，300余间。清朝进关后对盛京皇宫又进行了保护和扩建，到乾隆时基本构成今日规模。

大家看，沈阳故宫那金龙蟠柱的太政殿、崇政殿，排如雁行的十王亭、万宇炕口袋房的清宁宫，古朴典雅的文朔阁，以及凤凰楼等高台建筑。在中国宫殿建筑史上，绝无仅有;那机富满族情调的“宫高殿低”的建筑风格，更是“别无分号”。

沈阳老城内的大街号“井”字形，故宫就设在“井”字形大街的中心，占地6万平方米，现有古建筑114座。主要建筑有大政殿，十王亭、大清门、崇政殿、凤凰楼、清宁宫、文溯阁等。大政殿是用来举行诸如颁布诏书、军队出征、迎接将士凯旋和皇帝即位等大典的地方。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，然后体现了创业初期君臣平等的历史，也是从打天下到坐天下的君臣平等的延续。到了入关后，从北京故宫开始，这种平等被逐渐打破，最终构成了高高在上的君王。

中间高耸的建筑是沈阳故宫里唯一的烟囱。故宫里每一个房间的炕火都从地下的通道汇聚到这个烟囱里，这是他们一统天下的思想的象征。这个烟囱共有11级，最上方一级只有三块砖构成。导游说，这个一统天下的烟囱反而成了清朝的谶语：清朝共有11位皇帝，最后的宣统帝只做了三年江山，就是那三块砖的预示。想当年努尔哈赤在修建这个一统天下烟囱的时候，如果早知如此，肯定会加多几层吧?!

下方，请大家自由参观。三个小时后在那里准时集合。

各位游客大家好!很高兴给大家当导游，今天我将带大家参观帝皇之家——北京故宫，现在我先对故宫作个简单介绍。希望通过我的讲解，能够使你们对故宫有个初步的了解。

紫禁城是中国五个多世纪以来的最高权力中心，它以园林景观和容纳了家具及工艺品的9000个房间的庞大建筑群，成为明清时代中国文明无价的历史见证。1987年北京故宫被联合国教科文组织列入《世界遗产名录》。

故宫座北朝南，开有四条门。各位朋友，现在我们来到了故宫的正门，叫午门，意思是正午的太阳光芒四射。它建成于公元1420xx年，位于端门之北，雄伟壮观。各位请看，在10米高的城墙上耸立着五座崇楼，楼顶飞檐翅起，从上面看就象五只展翅欲飞的凤凰，故午门又称五凤楼。

各位游客朋友，现在我们已经进入故宫。这里是故宫第一进院落，首先出现在我们面前的是五座汉白玉石桥，它们象征五德，即仁、义、礼、智、信，是皇帝集美好的品质为一身的意思。金水桥下是内金水河，跨过金水桥就来到了太和门广场，这里就是明代皇帝御门听政时百官待驾的地方。

各位游客朋友，我们眼前的太和殿是整座紫禁城内级别最高的建筑，只有皇帝举行盛大典礼时才使用，象征皇权的至高无上，太和殿俗称金銮殿，是我国现存木结构大殿的杰出典范之作。太和殿始建于公元1420xx年，当时叫奉天殿。后来，该叫皇极殿。清顺治皇帝登基后，重修三大殿，并将皇极殿改为太和殿。

“不来故宫，枉来北京!”相信今天的故宫一日游给各位留下了深刻的印象，各位游客朋友，再见!

亲爱的游客朋友，你们好!在繁华的沈阳古城中心，有一座巍峨庄严的清代宫殿建筑群。这里就是我们今天的目的地——沈阳故宫，我是你们这次旅行的导游小成。今天就由我为大家提供服务，大家如果有什么要求可尽管提出来，我会竭诚为您解决。

依建筑时间和布局，沈阳故宫的建筑可分为三部分，它们分别是东路、中路、西路。今天，我们就按这个顺序。首先参观东路建筑。

—— 东路 ——

沈阳故宫以其独特的建筑艺术和特殊的历史而闻名中外，在这片绚丽多彩，雄伟多姿的建筑群中，最古老，最具特色的就是我们面前的大政殿。

大政殿草创于1625年，是处理国家政务和举行庆典活动的主要场所之一。大政殿为八角重檐攒尖式建筑，外形近似满族早期在山林中狩猎时所搭的帐篷。在大政殿的房脊上，还饰有八个蒙古力士，牵引着八条铁链，象征着“八方归一”。正门前的大柱上，盘旋着两条翘首扬爪的金龙，是受汉族敬天畏龙思想的影响，以龙代表天子的至尊无上。大政殿建筑特点的多样性，体现了多民族文化的融合。金龙盘柱，尽显中原之风;八位力士又流露了浓郁的蒙古色彩;而亭帐式的风貌，则是满族古老文化的延续。

作为最早使用和最为重要的宫殿之一。许多重大历史事件都以大政殿为舞台上演。1643年，六岁的顺治皇帝在大政殿继承帝位，并于次年在此颁布了出兵令，命摄政王多尔哀兵入山海关直捣中原，最终完成了满清一代的一统大业。

大政殿两侧南向，十王亭呈燕翅排列。错落有致，如众星拱月，南宽北狭，似无穷无尽，象征兵多将广，万世绵延。十王亭是清朝入关前左右翼王和八旗旗主在皇宫内办公的地方。它们与大政殿构成了一组亭子式的院落建筑，反映了满族独特的军政体制——八旗制度，这在中国的历史上堪称独步天下。远在努尔哈赤立国之初，凡遇军国大事都由汗王与八旗贝勒大臣共同讨论决定。努尔哈赤定都沈阳后，在修建宫殿时便将这种“君臣合署办公”的制度固定化。以建筑的形式表现了八旗制度和“八和硕贝勒共治国政”的政体及军事民主的思想。因而形成了大政殿、十王亭这组独特的建筑，为中国宫殿建筑史写下了空前的一页。

—— 中路 ——

各位朋友，现在我们来到了中路。从1626年皇太极继承汗位，即续建皇宫，形成沈阳故宫的中路建筑。中路建筑前起大清门，后至清宁宫，院落三进，独成一体。

大清门是沈阳故宫的正门，为皇帝临朝前，文武百官候朝的地方。它便是演义小说中俗称的“午朝门”。大清门的屋顶满铺黄琉璃瓦并衬以绿色剪边，既保留了以黄为尊的传统观念，又体现了满族对故乡山林的深厚眷念。从而形成了区别北京故宫的一个特点——宫殿顶覆以黄琉璃瓦镶以绿色剪边。

穿过大清门，北望便是崇政殿。崇政殿俗称“金銮殿”，是清太宗皇太极举行日常朝会的地方。

1635年，皇太极下令将族名‘女真”改为“满洲”。1636年皇太极在崇政殿登基称帝，上尊号“宽温仁圣”，将国号“金”改为“清”年号“天聪”改为“崇德”。

各位朋友，古代宫殿建筑布局讲究“前朝后寝”。看过了皇帝上朝的金銮殿，请大家随我去参观帝后的寝宫。

穿过崇政殿两侧的左右翊门，举目可见位于3.8米高台之上的凤凰楼。楼后为帝后寝居的后宫——台上五宫。与崇政殿对比又形成了沈阳故宫不同于北京故宫的特点——“宫高殿低”。而北京故宫则恰恰相反，是“殿高官低”。

凤凰楼为宴饮、议事之所，是当年沈阳城的最高建筑，诗称“欲穷千里目，更上一层楼”可谓十分贴切。登上凤凰楼俯瞰四周，万般景物尽收眼底，可饱览盛京全景，也可观赏日出。“凤楼晓日”是当年著名的盛京八景之一。凤凰楼门洞上方悬有“紫气东来”匾，为乾隆皇帝御笔。而乾隆皇帝则是借用这个典故寓意大清的国运兴起于东方。

各位朋友，穿过凤凰楼底层的通道后，我们就进入了后妃居住的台上五官。台上五官是清宁宫、关雎宫、麟趾宫、衍庆宫、永福宫。

现在请大家随我参观皇太极和皇后的寝宫——清宁宫。

清宁宫东梢门称“暖阁”，是帝后的卧室。暖阁内分南北二室，二室均设火炕。1643年八月初九，皇太极在暖阁内无疾端坐而终，终年52岁，后葬于沈阳昭陵，即北陵。

清宁东次间开门，是典型的满族民居——口袋房，西四门南西北三面都设火炕，称“万字炕”。与汉族有所不同的是，满族人将烟囱建在屋后，而且从地面向上垒起。这种“口袋房，万字炕、烟囱竖在地面上”的建筑特点具有浓郁的满族风格了。

—— 西路 ——

各位朋友，现在请随我去参观西路建筑。西路建于1782年至1783年，主要包括：戏台、嘉荫堂、文溯阁等。

说起文溯阁，我们不能不提到乾隆皇帝和《四库全书》。出于加强文化统治的需要，乾隆皇帝于1772年下诏访求天下藏书，历经十余年时间编成一部大型丛书。该书分经、史、子、集四部，所以称为《四库全书》。书修成后，抄录七部，在全国建七座藏书阁分别收藏，沈阳故宫的文溯阁便是其中之一。

提起宫殿建筑，我们很容易想起“红墙绿瓦”、“金壁辉煌’这类词汇。而文溯阁却与众不同，屋顶用黑琉璃瓦镶绿剪边，整个建筑以黑绿两色为主色调，这与它的用途是分不开的。文溯阁藏书忌火，依据五行字说立色配饰，装修取《易经》“北方壬癸水”其色属黑，因此屋顶用黑色琉璃瓦，寓意水从天降，消灭火灾。

文溯阁外观为两层，内部实为三层，书架上的木盒称函匣，用于收藏书籍。目前文溯阁的《四库全书》保存在甘肃省图书馆。

—— 结束语 ——

看到这里，我们今天的参观已经接近尾声。沈阳故宫的三路建筑是分期建造的，布局却是一气呵成，完整和谐。特别是三路建筑分别代表了“八和硕贝勒共治国政”、“皇太极南面独尊”、“康乾盛世”三个时期社会发展的基本特征。“建筑是凝固的历史”，从总体来看，沈阳故宫以建筑的方式反映了满族政权和满族社会由崛起——兴盛一高度发展的历史进程。

各位朋友，我们的参观就要结束了，希望故宫之行能给您留下美好的回忆。

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.

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.

(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.

各位游客们： 大家好!我叫张豪乾，大家怎么称呼我呢?叫我张导就行了，很高兴我能陪同大家一起参观故宫。 北京故宫位于北京市中心，是明清两代的皇宫，故宫有称为“紫禁城”。

故宫经历有明清两个朝代和24个皇帝。故宫规模宏大，西东宽750米，南北长960米，占地72万平方米，建筑积15万多平方米，有房屋1000多间，是世界历史上最大最完整的古代建筑。进了故宫的大门，你就会看见五座汉白玉石桥为什么是五座，而不是七座、八座，甚至十座呢?原来，古时候的皇帝都必须带有仁、义、礼、智、信这种特点，所以才是五座石桥的。

桥上有上百根石柱，柱子上刻着无数的小狮子，那么多的小狮子，有的颔首低眉，好像是忧闷而不开心的样子，有的张牙武爪，好像是展示自己的威武。

故宫的御花园，原名宫后椀，占地一万二千平方米。以鉄安殿为中心，园林建筑采用石砖来修建，左右对称的格砖紧凑。殿东北的堆秀山上筑御景亭，每年重阳节，皇上就在此登高。 好了游客们我们在这里歇一会，休息一下，你们也可以拍下自己喜欢的景点，注意卫生和安全。

大家好，欢迎大家来到北京。北京有许多名胜古迹，今天我带领大家参观的是著名的故宫。我是大家的导游，我姓胡，大家可以叫我胡导，但大家请放心，我决不会给大家“胡导”的。这位是我们的司机师傅，也姓胡。所以，本次参观就由我们“二胡”组合来为大家服务。

我们现在正在去故宫的路上，借着这点时间，我先给大家介绍一下故宫。故宫是我国现存最大最完整的皇宫，在世界上堪称最为壮丽的古代建筑群，已有近620xx年的历史。故宫是我国明、清两代24个皇帝的皇宫。故宫的建筑布局分为外朝和内廷。外朝是皇帝举行大典和召见大臣的主要场所，内廷是皇帝处理日常政务和后妃及幼年皇子居住游玩的地方。故宫共有宫殿9000多间，雕梁画柱，金碧辉煌，非常华丽威严。

好，现在我们已经到达停车场，请大家跟随我进入故宫。在进门之前，我要提醒大家：面对我们祖先留下的这些珍贵文物时，要格外珍惜，不要损坏。

最后，祝大家本次参观玩的开心。

各位游客大家好：

我是你们的导游陈琪琪，大家可以叫我小陈就行了。

接下来的几天中就由我来为大家一起来游览北京故宫博物院的名胜风景，希望通过我的讲解，能够使您对北京留下一个好印象，同时也对我的工作提出宝贵意见，好，接下来我们就开始今天的旅行吧!

故宫是明、清朝时的皇宫，也是当今世界规模最大建筑最雄伟，保存最完整的古代皇家宫殿。故宫又叫紫禁城。紫禁城是中国五个世纪以来最高权力中心，它以园林景观和容纳了家具及工艺品的9000个房间的庞大建筑群，成为明清时代中国物价历史的见证，1987年，北京故宫被联合国列入[ 世界遗产名录]。

故宫坐北朝南，开有四条门。各位朋友，这里就是故宫的正门，叫午门，意思是正午的太阳光芒四射。

各位请看，在10米高的城墙上耸立着五座城楼，从上面看就像物质展翅飞的凤凰，故午门又称五凤楼。大家可以在这里拍照留影吧!

好啦!现在大家自由活动，晚上六点在故宫门前集合，祝大家有玩开心。

大家好，我是本次游览故宫的小导游，大家在游览时要注意安全，爱护环境，不乱丢垃圾。

我们先进入的是午门，首先映入眼帘的是白色的金水桥，它全部是用汉白玉做成。接着就来到了太和门，一一走过，就来到了整个故宫最大的、等级最高的，也是最重要的宫殿——太和殿。它修筑得非常宏伟。它高29。92米，宽37米，长64米，是以前皇上办公的地方。大家往太和殿屋檐上看，是不是站立着形态各异的动物雕像。这些动物叫神兽，而且数量都是奇数，最小是五，最大是九，用来表示等级与地位。可是这里却有十个神兽，这是为什么呢?原来太和殿曾遭三次雷劈，都被大火烧光了，重修三次。

后来的皇上为了祈求太和殿不再被雷公劈到，于是就在九个神兽里又添加了一个神兽——“雷公”，这样就让太和殿成为了一个上下五千年里惟一一个拥有十个神兽的古建筑。继续走，过了中和殿、保和殿、乾清门，就到了皇上睡觉的地方——乾清宫。皇上如果要安心养神，可过交泰殿、坤宁宫，去御花园休心养神。这里植被繁多，假山、水流，空气清新，是理想的休养所。

过了御花园，我们就出了神武门，故宫游览就结束了。祝大家玩得开心，以后再来故宫游览!

大家好，欢迎大家来到北京。北京有许多名胜古迹，今天我带领大家参观的是著名的故宫。我是大家的导游，我姓胡，大家可以叫我胡导，但大家请放心，我决不会给大家胡导的。这位是我们的司机师傅，也姓胡。所以，本次参观就由我们二胡组合来为大家服务。

我们现在正在去故宫的路上，借着这点时间，我先给大家介绍一下故宫。故宫是我国现存最大最完整的皇宫，在世界上堪称最为壮丽的古代建筑群，已有近620xx年的历史。故宫是我国明、清两代24个皇帝的皇宫。故宫的建筑布局分为外朝和内廷。外朝是皇帝举行大典和召见大臣的主要场所，内廷是皇帝处理日常政务和后妃及幼年皇子居住游玩的地方。故宫共有宫殿9000多间，雕梁画柱，金碧辉煌，非常华丽威严。

最后，祝大家本次参观玩的开心。

大家好！很欢迎大家前来游玩！我是佟铭熙，大家可以叫我佟导。故宫清洁卫生有大家保持，请大家“高抬贵手”，不要乱扔果皮纸屑等垃圾。一会儿下车的时候，大家一定要记住车牌号。

各位朋友、女士、先生和父老乡亲们，过一会我们将要参观故宫博物馆，我先为各位做的简介。故宫是世界上现存范围最大的古代皇家宫殿建筑群。故宫也叫紫禁城，“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，即使是一品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。

故宫平面呈长方形，南北长960米，东西宽750米，总面积有72万平方万米。整座紫禁城被宽52米的护城河所环绕，城墙高10米，可谓是“城高池宽”。

故宫开四门，座北朝南，南门为午门，即正门，北门为神武门，东为东华门，西为西华门。

故宫的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”是皇帝及后妃居住的地方，主要以乾清宫、交秦殿、坤宁宫及东西六宫为主。除此之外、故宫内还有很多其他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半间，够多吧？打个比方说吧，如果一个婴儿从哇哇坠地开始每晚住不一样的房间、而且不重复，等他全部住遍后，就是个27岁的小伙啦！

好了，我先为各位介绍到这里，待会我再为各位做详细补充。

说起美丽的故宫，每个人都很熟悉。

故宫又叫紫禁城，是世界五大宫之首，是明清两代的皇宫，始建于公元1420xx年，面积约有725000平方米，相当于900个大操场那么大。

进了故宫的正门--午门，一个大广场呈现在我们眼前。广场上有五座精巧的汉白玉拱桥。桥下有一条金水河，形似玉带，漂亮极了。

站在广场上，抬头一看，一座金碧辉煌的宫殿耸立在眼前，黄色的琉璃瓦闪闪发光。这就是太和殿。太和殿内雕镂金漆的宝座，坐落在正中的须弥坐式楠木平台上，宝座周围是六根沥粉蟠龙金柱，气势磅礴。宝座上方的天花中央是巨大的蟠龙藻井。

出了太和殿，绕过中和殿和保和殿，就是乾清宫。乾清宫在明代和清代前期是皇帝的寝宫。皇帝在乾清宫处理政务，召见臣工，接见外国使臣及内廷受贺和举行家宴。

从乾清宫出来，绕过交泰殿和坤宁宫，就是御花园。进了御花园，就会看到一座亭子。葱郁的树丛映衬着红色的墙壁和金黄的琉璃瓦，那就是千秋亭，千秋亭旁边是堆秀山，堆秀山是一座石头砌成的假山，四处是碧绿的树木，美丽极了。

关于故宫还有一个传说。相传古代有一个人叫刘伯温。有一天，他对皇帝说：“陛下，臣昨晚做了个梦，梦见玉帝召见臣，说皇上住的宫殿必须要有三十六金刚及七十二地煞看守，否则会有灾难。说完腾云而去，臣就吓醒了。”皇帝听了，命令刘伯温去造一座宫殿，就叫紫禁城，要有三十六金刚及七十二地煞把守。老百姓闻之此事后，都等着看刘伯温怎么造有三十六金刚及七十二地煞把守的宫殿。过了十个月，宫殿造好了，皇帝看到宫里金光闪闪，好像是三十六金刚及七十二地煞在把守，高兴极了，奖赏了刘伯温，再晋升三级。后来人们才发现那些“三十六金刚”只不过是黄金，“七十二地煞”只不过是七十二口大缸。

故宫处处是美丽的景色，希望大家能细细游赏。

故宫导游词

大家好，我叫吴文倩，大家叫我吴导吧!此刻我们要游览举世无双的北京故宫。

你们看，我们来到了雄伟的故宫，故宫又称紫禁城，是明清两代的皇宫;故宫是世界上规模最大最完整的古代木结构建筑群，为我们国家最大的古建筑群。它使建于明永乐(公元1406年)，14年才完工呢，有24位皇帝在此登基。“好了，我们此刻准备去大殿里，请游客朋友们跟上队伍，千万别掉队，否则走丢了，就找不到我们了!”好，此刻跟随我进入大殿，故宫有三座大殿：太和殿，中和殿和保和殿。大殿建在汉白玉砌成的8米高的台基上，远望犹如神话的琼宫仙阙。太和殿是最富丽堂皇的建筑，俗称“金銮殿”，是皇上举行大典的地方，这座殿高28米，东西63米，西北35米，有直径达1米的大柱92根，其中6根围绕御座的沥粉金漆的潘龙柱。御座设在殿内高2米的台上，前有造型，美观的仙鹤，炉，鼎，后面精雕细刻的围屏。整个大殿装饰得金碧辉煌，庄严绚丽。中和殿是皇上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潘王公的场所。游客朋友们先休息一下，观赏下这三个大殿，能够摸一摸，等下我们去内延，以乾清宫，交泰殿，坤宁宫为中心，东西两翼有东六宫和西六宫，是皇上平日办事和妃子居住的地方。“好，这天的活动到此结束!祝大家玩得开心”

大家好，今天由我来为大家当一次导游，向你们介绍北京故宫。希望大家做一个文明的参观者，也祝大家参观愉快!

北京故宫，位于北京市中心，是明清两朝皇帝的宫殿。从明朝永乐五年，公元142019年起，明成祖朱棣集全国匠师，征用二、三十万民工、军工，经过2019年的时间，建成了这组东方最大的宫殿群。故宫规模巨大，总面积72万平方米，共有大小房屋9999间，先后有27位皇帝住在这里。

游客们，故宫南边的第一道门就是闻名遐迩的天安门。朱红的墙面，同样鲜红的琉璃瓦双层屋顶，还有墙下的五扇拱形门以及墙上毛主席那英姿勃发的头像，构成了天安门的大概外貌。这里不仅是故宫的南大门，还是新中国成立过了天安门，我们便可以远远望见一条大河。幽清的河，弯弯曲，一眼望不到头，好似一条极长的青丝带。这条河叫金水河，是人工开凿的，据说是为了防御进攻的敌人，类似于一座城的护城河。金水河上有五座用大理石砌成的桥，叫五龙桥。踏着桥面的条砖，扶着桥边的栏杆，似乎能感觉到那时的时代气息。

过了金水河、五龙桥，再通过太和门，然后走上一小会路，我们就来到了皇帝讨论国家大事，召见群臣的太和殿。太和殿有两层顶，都用黄色的琉璃瓦铺好，在阳光的照耀下熠熠生辉。屋檐下，有十几根红柱支撑，再往下就上一个高大洁白的汉白玉台基。太和殿进深37.2米，宽63.9米，高26.9米，汉白玉台基高8.1米。在殿前开阔的台基上，依次整齐地陈列着日晷、嘉量、铜龟、铜鹤等。大殿正上方，有一块金边蓝匾，上书“太和殿”三个金光闪闪、苍劲有力的大字。殿内排有18根金柱，每一根金柱上都雕有千姿百态、栩栩如生、活灵活现的金龙，那架势，似乎要一跃而起，飞向苍穹。还有那闪着光彩夺目的龙椅，真是富丽堂皇。太和殿后面，还有皇帝上朝前休息的中和殿与举行最高级别科举考试的保和殿。再往后过了乾清门，我们就来到了内廷，就是宫人们的生活区。主要有皇帝住的乾清宫，皇后住的坤宁宫，太上皇住的宁寿宫、皇太后住的慈宁宫以及妃嫔们住的东六宫与西六宫等等。

我们再往后走，就到了故宫最北的地方，叫御花园，园中有钦安殿。这里有苍松翠柏，名花异卉，怪石伏立、泉水喷珠，是故宫内最亲切自然之处。

出了最北的地安门，也就结束了这故宫的参观。我祝大家参观愉快!谢谢大家!

女士们、先生们：

在这里，我将为您们介绍我国古代文化的瑰宝，位于北京的故宫博物院。

紫禁城建筑原则是前朝后市，左祖右社。左祖右社就是故宫东南的太庙和西南的社稷坛。前朝就是故宫内上朝行礼的宫殿。以前神武门和景山之间曾经有市场，就是后市。

故宫内部宫殿又分为外朝、内廷，以乾清门广场为界，南边是外朝，举行大典的场所，以三大殿——太和、中和、保和为中心，东面文华殿、西面武英殿为两翼。武英殿清朝多尔衮曾经在此摄政，之后改为修书处，修出的书称为“殿本”。文华殿曾为太子居所，后来文渊阁成为藏书处。北边是内廷，中心是乾清宫、坤宁宫，为帝后寝宫，但清朝皇后不住坤宁宫，坤宁宫用于祭祀和皇帝举行大婚典礼的地方。乾清宫清朝雍正以后不再住人，而是接见大臣、举行内廷典礼、皇帝死后停灵所用。后三宫两边有东西六宫，是嫔妃的住所。乾清宫西面养心殿是雍正以后皇帝的居所，处理政事也在这里。

这是故宫比较靠中间的重要部分，此外还有西路慈宁宫、慈宁花园，太后住处，没有开放，我也不太清楚。外东路宁寿全宫，乾隆准备当太上皇时建的，但没有住过。

现在还有流传以前关于紫禁城建筑时的传说，。据说，当初刘伯温修建北京城皇宫的时候，皇上和他的儿子燕王打算把宫殿修盖得间量多点儿、大点儿，总觉得皇上住的地方应当特别华贵，不然就显不出天子的尊严。这天，皇上正要传旨宣刘伯温，就在这个节骨眼儿上，刘伯温来了。刘伯温一见皇上就说：“启奏万岁，臣昨天夜里做了一个梦，梦见玉皇大帝把臣召到凌霄殿上对臣说：‘你朝皇帝要修盖皇宫，你告诉他！天宫宝殿是一千间，凡间宫殿万不可超过天宫。你还要告诉他，要请三十六金刚、七十二地煞去保护凡间皇城，才能够风调雨顺国泰民安，你要牢牢记住’。玉皇大帝说完这些话，就扑过来一阵白茫茫的香雾，一下就把臣吓醒啦！”皇上听了觉着很怪，想了想，就下旨叫刘伯温去监造不到一千间，可还得跟天宫差不多间量的皇宫，并去请金刚、地煞来保护皇官。刘伯温领旨就办去了，这事儿一下子就在北京城传开了，老百姓都等着要看刘伯温怎样修盖皇宫，怎样去请三十六金刚、七十二地煞这些神仙来保护皇宫过了些日子，刘伯温就把事儿全都办好了。皇上一看那宫殿盖得甭提有多华贵了，间量还真是不到一万间，再看宫院里金光闪闪，好像有神仙镇守。皇上愈看愈高兴，当时传旨，给刘怕温加封晋爵，还赏赐了很多珠宝。外邦听说刘伯温请了天神三十六金刚、七十二地煞保护皇城，也就不敢兴兵作乱了。后来人们才知道，原来故宫里的宫殿是九百九十九间半；天神三十六金刚就是宫殿门口摆着的三十六口包金大缸；七十二地煞就是故宫里的七十二条地沟。

故宫里面的宏伟建筑代表了我国五千年文化的精髓。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。难道这不是作为一个中国人，作为一个炎黄子孙最值得骄傲的地方吗？

今天下午，阳光明媚，刘老师带我们全班去故宫游览。

我们是从大清门走进故宫的。与其说这是门，不如说它是一个建筑。因为它可不是一扇简单的门，有梁柱，有飞檐，有彩绘，中间还很宽敞。老师说这是过去文武群臣早朝等候拜见皇上的地方。 站在大清门前抬头向上看，看到一块蓝底金字的匾。右边写着三个大字：大清门，左边奇形怪状的是什么呀?我有点儿疑惑。于是我问了老师，老师告诉我们，那中间一根棍儿，两边都是刺儿的是满文。那几个字就是满文大清门三个字。我这才恍然大悟。

跟着刘老师我们继续向前走，正前方是一座高大雄伟的建筑，老师说那是皇太极办公的地方崇政殿，也就是通常所说的金銮殿。我们走近一看在一块长方形的匾上写着“正大光明”四个字，扁下面的柱子上一共有八条龙，它们以不同的姿态盘曲着，老师说再加上龙椅上坐着的皇上，一共是九条龙，是取吉祥如意之意。我们都笑着说这很有趣!

离开了崇政殿，我们又向东路走去。 一个八角亭式建筑就像蒙古包一样矗立在蓝天下。 老师告诉我们八角象征着八面威风。之所以建成像蒙古包一样的形状是因为清朝是满族人建立的。满族是游牧民族，即使定都沈阳也非常怀念他们的家乡，所以把宫殿也建成了蒙古包形状。在这个宫殿的两侧还有十座亭子，老师说他们是十王亭。并且告诉我们这是中国唯一的君臣一起办公的建筑群。听了老师的介绍，我们一个亭子一个亭子仔细地观察，了解了很多有关清朝和满族的文化和知识。

后来我们又游览了后宫、御花园 、大戏台、藏书阁等地方， 直到傍晚才和同学们一起恋恋不舍的回到学校。

这次游故宫我们不仅增长了知识，还为自己是沈阳人而感到无比自豪。

进了故宫，大家首先看见的就是人……为什么这么多人来到这里呢?因为明朝永乐年间，一百万劳工花了十四年的时间修筑起来的故宫是世界是最大的宫殿，非常有名，每天都有数万名游客来这里观光。

故宫的面积约是天-安-门广场的两倍，比凡尔赛宫殿还大，是日本平安神宫的十倍左右。故宫的历史开始于570年前，请大家把思绪拉回到570年前来游览故宫吧!

这个建筑是故宫朝南的正门，叫作午门。午是正晌午时的午，是位于正中的意思。午门的下面，有五个拱门，正中间的门只有皇帝才能出入，即使地位很高的大臣，也只能使用两侧的门;地方上的诸候只能使用最两端的小门。这些都是根据身份，等级来严格规定的。过去，只有皇后在结婚的时候，才能从午门进入一次，其它女性一律禁止出入午门。当然现在是谁都可以进啦。过去对皇帝的心腹都是这样严厉，一般百姓就更不用提啦。连靠近故宫都不行。所以，这个故宫又被称作紫禁城。紫是紫色的紫。过去有天帝之子，老子住的地方当然也得是紫色的宫殿才中!于是，用了个紫字。禁就是禁止入内的禁字，也就是禁止随便进放的意思。

这正中的路是皇帝专用的。这条但是故宫的中轴线，也是整个北京城的中轴线。北京的主要建筑大多都沿着这个中轴线而建，两边的建筑也多是对称的。皇帝的宫殿位于这中轴线的中间，显示着”普天之下，唯我独尊”。这条路是用大理石铺成的。请看，这大理石路比两边的路高出一块儿来。当皇帝将走这段路时，还要在上面铺上地毯之类的东西，这样就高了。所以纵然皇帝身材短小，在这上面一走，也显得高大伟岸!

皇帝是了不起的”爷们儿”，这中间的门也是了不起的”爷门儿”。每当皇帝经过这中间的门时，都要敲响大钟、大鼓伴奏才行。皇帝就这样迈着步子：咚咚---咚咚咚咚---咚---咚真戳威严无比!皇帝打心眼儿里感觉到：看!还是老子伟大!下面，我们大家也假装当回皇帝，体会一下皇帝走路的感觉吧!

(在太和门前)这个建筑叫太和门，是故宫里最大的木制大门。在这个大门的前面，放有一对狮子，这是明代用青铜的。狮子强悍，吼声震天，使百兽惧怕，放在这里，代表着皇帝的威严。那里有个石头做的像邮筒似的东西，那是大臣，诸候求皇帝时，要写申请书放在里边，由皇帝的仆人转达给皇帝：”万岁，此人求见，可以吗?””好。””是，遵命。”就可以有进了。如果皇帝狱：”不行!”那求见的人就会被撵走。和它相对称的那边，还有一个石头做成的东西，它的形状像一个大印，象征着皇帝的权力。也就是说：老子的权力坚如磐石，不管世间有何变动，老子的权力永远不变!

(经过太和门之后)前面的大殿叫太和殿，是故宫内最大的建筑物，并且是过去北京城最高的建筑物。皇帝下令：任何人的房子也不能高出老子的房子。所以京城只好建了平房，北京过去曾被称为”平房之都”，下边的广场是太和殿广场，为什么要建这么大的广场呢?如果不建这个广场或是建个小广场，那么，人们就不会感觉到太和殿的雄伟壮观。只有建这么大的广场，站在这里向对面看去：蓝天之下，黄瓦生辉。再加上下面白色的石台，给人以豪华绚烂之感。举行大典的时候，皇帝坐在太和殿正中的御座;文武百官跪伏在广常那时还要往石台上的大鼎里放入绿叶松枝燃烧，弄得烟雾缭绕，太和殿直就像云中楼阁一样，文武百官仰望着云中楼阁呼万岁，坐在御座上的皇帝感觉是多么良好，就可想而知啦。

(在太和殿广场)尽管故宫周围有十米高的城墙和52米宽的护城河，皇帝还是担心有人挖地道钻进故宫暗杀他，吓得睡不好觉，，绞尽脑汁想了个办法，就是把广场用十五层砖横、竖交叉地铺严实了，才终于放下心来。从这件事也可以看出，当时的权力斗争是何等激烈!当然在大典时，文武百官三呼万岁，但皇帝还是怀有戒心：这里面，这家伙，那家伙，说不定哪个家伙想暗杀老子，不注意哪行!这广场的砖层大约有三、四米深。

(在太和殿的石台上)这个由石头做成的东西叫嘉量，嘉量是当时的标准度量衡，表示皇帝公平处事，谁半斤，谁八两，心里自然有数。对面还有一个石头做成的东西，叫作日晷。发音和日记一样，但不是日记，是用来看时间的石头表。皇帝的意思是：重量和时间的基准都在老子这里。

那边有鹤和龟，”千年仙鹤，万年龟”，是长寿的象征。不过，中国和日本不同，是颠倒过来说的，叫作”万年仙鹤，千年龟”。为什么说法不一样呢?大概是过去日本的留学生在中国学了词句之后，乘船归国途中，由于船的颠簸使头脑产生混乱，记颠倒了。还有许多例子，如：日本讲良妻贤母，中国讲贤妻良母;日本讲平和，中国讲和平;日本讲-法政大学，而在中国叫作政法大学。文章的意思完全一样，但只是顺序不同，大概就是乘船颠簸所致。那鹤和龟不单是一种装饰物，也是一种香炉。它们的背都盖着盖儿，每当大典时，就把盖掀起来，放入檀香燃烧，那烟就从它们的嘴里缓缓溢出，就好像它们都在吞云吐雾一样。

请大家从石台上回头看广常我们进了故宫之后还没有看见过树。为什么在这么宽阔的地方连一树都不种呢?……不是为了防止暗杀，而是为了制造气氛。如果种了树，郁郁葱葱一片绿，鸟儿在上面又唱又叫的，就会呈现出生活的气息。如果不种绎，就会产生庄严的气氛。我们来想像一下：过去大臣、诸候要见皇帝时，全都得从天-安-门走着进来，走在宽阔的路上看着高大的建筑，在庄严肃穆的气氛中，大臣、诸候就会越走越感到压力沉重，当走到皇帝面前时，就会自然地双腿打着哆嗦跪下来了。

中国历史上最后一个皇帝---爱新觉罗.溥仪三岁时当上皇帝的，他即位时的御座就在太和殿的正中。现在开始五分钟自由活动，五分钟后在那凉快的地方集合。
