各位游客，你们好!今天我们要参观的是以前皇帝祭天的地方——天坛。

到了每年的冬至，皇帝就要在这里祭天。在这个典礼上，需要特别提到的是皇帝恭读祝文所站立的地方，就是这块天心石。它是天坛三大声学现象之一。在这里朗读的时候声音特别洪亮，各位游客不妨体验一下，也像当年的皇帝一样，向上天诉说自己美好的愿望。

现在咱们继续沿着中轴线行走，面前的建筑叫做天库，它的正殿就是皇穹宇。皇穹宇三个字也分别代表了“至高无上”“天”“宇宙”的意思，更加显示出它的神圣和至尊。这组建筑不仅十分精美，而且还有回音壁和三音石，这和刚才我们说的“天心石”合称天坛三大声学现象。

回音壁就是皇穹宇的外墙，围墙十分平滑，可以传声，在传递途中对声音损失极小，只要对着墙说话，就算相隔四五十米，见不到面，都可以清晰地听到对方说话。

三音石是皇穹宇大殿正前方的三块石头，您站在第一块石头上拍手可以听到一次回音，站在第二块石头上拍手可以听到两次，而站在第三块石头上拍手就可以听到三次回音，所以称为三音石。

在游览过了圜丘坛和皇穹宇之后，我们即将走进祈谷坛了，祈谷坛的主体建筑就是祈年殿，祈年殿是一座极具中国特色的独特建筑。

圆形尖屋顶是用蓝色的琉璃瓦覆盖，以此来象征天。和每年的祭天一样，这里是用来祈谷的地方。在祭祀的当天，有乐队在殿外月台上奏乐，身穿祭服的皇帝虔诚步入神殿，向牌位行大礼，祈祷上苍，然后把供品送到祈年门外焚烧，送上天宫。

现在我们从祈谷坛的东门出来，可以看到一条长廊，是祭祀时运送祭品的通道。

今天的观光游览就要结束了，在天坛的这段时光希望能成为您北京之游中的永恒记忆。同时也请您把天坛的祝福带给您的家人朋友。参考资料：地图团祝您一帆风顺。

You see! This is the world famous Lushan Mountain! Is it beautiful? Now letme introduce Lushan Mountain!

Lushan is located in the south of Jiujiang City, Jiangxi Province, thecapital of China, with the Yangtze River in the north and Poyang Lake in theEast. The total area of the mountain is 302 square kilometers. There are 90peaks in the whole mountain. The highest peak is dahanyang mountain, 1473.4meters above sea level. Many valleys, caves, waterfalls and streams arescattered among the peaks.

Lushan Mountain is famous for its marvelous, beautiful, dangerous andmajestic scenery.

Lushan Mountain is not only known as the national Lu Qixiu plus the worldsreputation, but also one of Chinas pearl.

Lushan is surrounded by water and air, which makes Lushan cool and rainy insummer. In the morning, Lushan Mountain is covered with thick clouds; fine rainand dew irrigate flowers and plants again and again; gentle breeze calls for allkinds of small life. The pines stand upright in the dense clouds, the fine rainand the gentle breeze. The lush cypress is tough and straight, just like ourpersonality and will. The mountain water is so clear, just like our hearts. Thesurrounding flowers weave a simple wreath for the mountain water, and the greentrees are reflected in the water, making the mountain put on a green scarf. Itslike entering a beautiful fairyland.

Now that we have come to Lushan, do you know that there is a legend aboutthe fairy house in Lushan?

It is said that Kuang Sus story of seeking immortals in Lushan Mountainwas learned by the imperial court. As a result, the emperor of Zhou repeatedlyasked him to come out of the mountain to help, but kuangsu was not found. Somepeople say that he has become an immortal. Naturally, it is nonsense. Later,people called the place where kuangsu sought immortality "the house ofimmortals" and the name of Lushan Mountain, so Lushan Mountain appeared likethis. It is also called Kuang mountain, or Kuang Lu, because the person whobecame immortal was surnamed Kuang. In the Song Dynasty, in order to avoid thetaboo of Zhao Kuangyin, the great ancestor of the Song Dynasty, he changed hisname to Kangshan.

The diffuse clouds add a lot of charming beauty and mysterious color toLushan. This is Mount Lushan. Lets say goodbye to Lushan again!

Chagan Lake is called "Chagannur" in Mongolian, which means a white andholy lake with a water area of 506 square kilometers. It is one of the top tenfreshwater lakes in China, the largest grassland Lake in northern China, and thelargest inland lake in Jilin Province. It is also a famous fishery productionbase, reed production base and famous tourist attraction in Jilin Province.

Among them,"Chagan Lake fat head fish" has been certified as grade 2A green food andorganic food by the national green food certification center, and has been soldto all over the province.

Chagan Lake has four distinct seasons. Chagan Lake with different seasonshas different charm.

In spring, after a long winters sleep, the lake wakes up quietly. Greengrass and blooming flowers are reflected on the surface of the lake. Ducks andgeese are flying by the lake, birds are singing and swans are dressing up. Thelake is vast, with fishing sails and fish tailing.

In summer, the surface of Baili lake is full of blue waves, and the lotusin the pond is fragrant. The fishing songs are graceful, and the sound of oarsis babbling, which adds to the shadow of Flowing Clouds and cranes. The reedsswaying in the breeze, the branches and leaves singing and dancing, and theplayful fish leaping out of the water from time to time, peeping at thebeautiful scenery of green willows and red flowers. In 20__, the first ChaganLake Lotus Festival was well received. The performance is mainly composed ofMatouqin, Chagan Lake customs and lotus songs and dances, which fully reflectsthe cultural characteristics and ethnic customs of Chagan Lake. It is a brandnew boutique tourism festival activity that Chagan Lake is committed tocreating.

In autumn, the vast Chagan Lake is cool, the wind is light, the wild islong, the reed flowers are flying in the face, and the wild geese are flyingback to the south. The autumn sun coats everything on the lakeside with gold,making it more graceful and magnificent. The beautiful Chagan Lake adds a bit ofgrandeur and magnificence to the scenery of northern China.

The most distinctive feature is the winter of Chagan Lake. The silvercovered Chagan Lake is like a huge Jasper inlaid in the snowy north. On the ice,a series of winter ploughs shuttle back and forth. The high pitched labor songsdisperse the cold of winter. The heavy net pulls out the dazzling fresh fish,and outlines the spectacular scene of Chagan Lake in winter. Every day beforedawn, the simple and hardworking fisherman of chagannaoer, wearing a dog skinhat and a sheep skin jacket, drives a horse to climb a plow and takes theprimitive winter net fishing tools to the depths of the Great Lakes. In the dimnight, he starts his busy day by selecting sites, digging ice and layingnets.

In the morning light, the fish under the ice seem to be still sleepingsoundly. The sound of the crack of the ice, the sound of the fishermens bugle,the hissing of the horses, and the creaking of the winch have come one afteranother. Fishermen have dug hundreds of ice caves in a twinkling of an eye. The1000 meter net has dived into the ice like a dragon, and then slowly pulled outthe ice from the net outlet hundreds of meters away. Ten thousand fresh fishcame out and instantly piled up on the ice to form "fish mountains". Thespectacular harvest of "ten thousand fresh fish dancing on the ice" makes theglacier boiling! The primitive winter net fishing method created and preservedby fishermen in Naoer of Chagan Lake is a living fossil of human primitivefishing and hunting culture. In 20__, "Chagan Lake winter fishing custom" waslisted in the national intangible cultural heritage list.

Chagan Lake is also known as ice lake Tengyu. It is the most spectacularpart of the annual "ice snow fishing and hunting Cultural Tourism Festival ofChagan Lake in Jilin Province, China". It starts in late December (net opening)and ends in late January of the next year (net closing). The annual output offresh fish can reach 1 million kg. In 20__, 20__ and 20__, it successivelycaught 104500 kg, 168000 kg and 260000 kg under the single net ice, creating the"largest scale" The Guinness Book of world records.

Chagan Lake has a long history of catching fish in winter, and it wasfamous as early as Liao and Jin Dynasties.

From emperor Shengzong to Emperor Tianzuo in Liao Dynasty, every year heled his ministers and concubines to visit Chagan Lake from the capital. Theymade ice on the surface of the lake to fish, and used the "head fish" caught bythe Emperor himself to hold a "head fish feast" on the shore, because the fishin the early spring are the freshest, fattest and most fragrant. When the springbreeze blows to green Guoerluosi grassland, geese, swans and birds sing byChagan Lake. At this time, the emperors began to fly eagles and arrows to catchswans and geese. The geese from haidongqing, which was released by the emperorof Liao, were used to hold "geese feast". The monarchs and ministers sang,danced, drank and enjoyed by the lake until the end of spring. From this we canimagine the magnificent scene of Chagan Lake.

The mysterious octagonal drum stirs up the old dream. It not only leavesthe eternal story of emperors visiting Chagan Lake, but also inherits themysterious, magical and sacred customs of "winter fishing sacrifice Lake" and"head fish feast" in Chagan Lake.

The ceremony of "offering sacrifices to the lake and waking up the net" isthe most mysterious part of the winter fishing in Chagan Lake. The wholesacrificial process is full of national characteristics and mystery. It is therepresentative of fishing and hunting culture in northern China. It mainlyincludes dancing Chama dance, reciting Buddhist scriptures, singing sacrificialwords to fish head, offering sacrifices to heaven and earth, Lake God, drinkingZhuang Xing wine and other activities. It is called "the last fishing andhunting tribe" by experts and scholars in the industry, "a place on the earth asprecious as the Qinghai Tibet Plateau" and "a unique living ice and snow fishingand hunting cultural heritage to the north of the 45 degree north latitudeline".

In order to let more tourists enjoy the mysterious and spectacular winterfishing in Chagan Lake, a large-scale ice snow fishing and hunting CulturalTourism Festival has been held in Chagan Lake since 20__ at the end of Decemberevery year.

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?

Firstof all, we come to the tropical rainforest exhibition area. With a total area of1845 square meters, it is the largest main exhibition area of the wholegreenhouse. There are more than 1500 cultivated species, including Palmaceae,Moraceae, Bromeliaceae, Araceae, Liliaceae, Zingiberaceae, Musaceae, Araliaceae,acanthopanax senticosus, Euphorbiaceae, Begoniaceae and various ferns. The roomsimulates the scenery of tropical rain forest, and it is also dominated bytropical and subtropical plants. According to their different terrain andfunctions, they are planted separately to form a unique ecological landscape oftropical rain forest. Highlighting the primitive jungle atmosphere, palm familyincludes King coconut and old man sunflower (old man sunflower is also calledWashington sunflower, belonging to Washington family of palm family, native toIndia, Malaysia, etc.). Woody plants, evergreen trees, foliage plants, evergreencoconut trees.) For sugar producing plants, people are most familiar withsugarcane in the South and beet in the north. In fact, sugar palm in palmitaceaeis also an expert in sugar production. Sugar palm is produced in tropical Asiaand Africa. It is tall and has large and dense pinnate leaves. Its nectarcontains sugar. After the inflorescence is cut, a large amount of sugar juicecan flow out. The amount of juice of female plant is about 50% more than that ofmale plant. The juice can be used as beverage, fermented wine or concentratedboiling for 5 hours Tropical fruit is the fruit of the heart (fruit of the heartbelongs to mountain olive family fruit of the heart). It is native to Mexico,Central America and Southeast Asia. China is mainly distributed in Hainan,Guangdong, Fujian, Chinese Taiwan, Guangxi, Yunnan and other places. Evergreen trees.Human heart fruit is named because its longitudinal section looks like humanheart. The best taste was 5-7 days after harvest. The milk of bark is gum; theoil content of seed kernel is up to 20%, and the root, skin and leaf can be usedfor medicine.) Mangoes (mangoes belong to the genus mangiferaceae, enjoying thereputation of "king of tropical fruits". Mango is an evergreen tree. Thenutritional value of mango is very high, and the content of vitamin A is as highas 3.8%, which is twice as much as that of apricot. The content of vitamin C isalso higher than that of oranges and strawberries. Mango contains sugar,protein, calcium, phosphorus, iron and other nutrients, which are necessary forhuman body. Its not seasick, its disgusting Because the cross section is likea five pointed star, it is also called "star pear" abroad. It is one of thefamous Lingnan fruits. Oxalaceae, evergreen or semi evergreen trees. It canproduce fluid and quench thirst. It is beneficial to urination, heatdissipation, pain relief and hemostasis. Besides 10% sugar, it is also rich invitamin A and C. Among them, there are waterfalls to welcome visitors, greenwater to appreciate pearls, cave heaven and blessed land, and Maoting path.

You will see this tree is Dracaena, a tropical evergreen tree, for theagave family, Dracaena. Once its bark is cut, it will flow out bright red juice,like the blood of the human body, hence its name. Most of them are distributedin limestone areas with high altitude, up to 20 meters high, belonging to classII national protected plants. The juice of Dracaena Dracaena has very highmedicinal value. It can extract the precious Yunnan red medicine, DracaenaDracaena, also known as Kirins Dracaena, which is as famous as Yunnan Baiyao.It is also the main component of the famous medicine "Qilisan". Li Shizhenpraised it as "the holy medicine of promoting blood circulation" in compendiumof Materia Medica. It has the good effects of promoting blood circulation,removing blood stasis, detumescence, relieving pain, astringency and hemostasis.It can be taken orally and used externally. It is a good treatment It is aspecial medicine for traumatic injury, promoting blood circulation andhemostasis. In 1972, Professor Cai Xitao, a famous botanist and founder ofXishuangbanna Tropical Botanical Garden, first discovered a large area ofDracaena Dracaena on the limestone mountain in Menglian County, SimaoPrefecture, Yunnan Province. The growth of Dracaena Dracaena is very slow. Itstrunk is less than 1 cm thick in one year, but its life span is the longest inthe plant kingdom, up to 8000 years, so it is called "the longevity of plants"by botanists.

You can see this is a kapok tree, a large deciduous tree of the kapokfamily. It is also called the hero tree because it grows very straight and hasred flowers like blood. The height of the tree is about 10 meters. The tree andits branches are long and hard. It mainly grows in the south of China. It bloomsin March and April every year. Its flower is called kapok. It can be used asmedicinal material and has the function of clearing away heat and dampness. Itis the city flower of Guangzhou. Here it mainly shows the tropical rain

There is a special phenomenon of root plate in forest.

Generally, the roots of plants plunge into the soil to absorb water andnutrients, supply the growth of stems, branches and leaves of aboveground parts,and also play a supporting role in bearing the gravity of aboveground parts. Inorder to better perform the above functions, the roots always develop in depthand breadth. The trees in the middle and upper layers of tropical rainforest aregenerally 30-40 meters in diameter, and their crowns are also very wide. Ifthere is no strong root system as the foundation, these trees will be top heavyand unstable, and will sink or be destroyed by tropical storms. Because thetropical rain forest is in a rainy and humid climate, the water in the soil isalways saturated or nearly saturated in the long rainy season. The roots oftrees are required for "breathing", so they are difficult to penetrate into thedeep soil layer lacking air. Since it is difficult to enter the deep soil and tosupport the aboveground parts, they adopt the strategy of developing to thesurface space. For example, this kapok tree chooses to extend the stem of thetrunk like a wing to all sides to form a plate-shaped root, which is called"plate root", and meandering along the ground to solve the problem of "heavyhead and light foot and shallow root". The wonder of natural creatures lies intheir harmonious relationship with the environment and the survival of thefittest.

Under the kapok tree is the golden bract flower, also known as the goldenbract shrimp clothing flower, Acanthaceae thick ear Acanthopanax is an evergreensubshrub. The bracts are heart-shaped, golden yellow, about 3cm long; theflowers are milky white, lip shaped, about 5cm long, protruding from the bracts.Native to Peru and Mexico. First, the temperature should be appropriate. Thesuitable temperature for its growth is 20 ℃ to 28 ℃. The second is the suitablelight. Third, water should be sufficient. Fourth, the soil should be wellpermeable. Fifthly, fertilizer should be used in the right way.

Walking in the beautiful tropical rain forest, you may suddenly find: aclump of strange emerald green leaves grows on the trunk of a tall tree, bothupward and downward. The top of each leaf splits into two pieces, and each piecesplits into two pieces, and so on. It looks like the horn of a Wapiti. This isthe famous wild ornamental plant, the second level national key protection plant- antler fern. This is the one you can see. It is a perennial evergreenepiphytic herbaceous foliage plant of antler fern family. Although antler ferntakes the tall trees as its home, it does no harm to the trees, because it is anepiphytic plant, not a parasitic plant. It can feed itself only on the foodgiven by air and rain, and does not need to absorb the nutrition of trees. Thefirst discovery of wild antler fern in China is in the primeval forest ofDayingjiang, Yunnan Province. Because antler fern often grows on the knots orbranches of tree trunks, local people also call it "tree clothes".

If you look up at this plant again, it has many broad leaves around theshort stem, forming a basin in the center, so it is named birds Nest Fern. Ifyou also want to plant birds Nest Fern, you should know that it is alsoepiphytic fern, so you cant use ordinary culture soil, but use fern root, barkblock, moss, broken brick mixed with sawdust, coconut bran and so on as pottingsubstrate. At the same time, use the cultivation container with good airpermeability, and fill the bottom of the container with broken wood Brick andother large particle materials, in order to facilitate ventilation row small.Birds Nest Fern can also be planted directly on the false tree or wood section,but it is necessary to spray water frequently to maintain high air humidity.Birds Nest Fern likes warm, humid and semi shade conditions with strongscattered light. It can grow all year round under the condition of hightemperature and humidity. The optimum temperature for its growth is 20-22 ℃. Thetemperature of overwintering in winter is 5. In spring and summer, it isnecessary to water more and spray water on the leaf surface frequently to keepthe leaf surface clean. Generally, 70% - 80% of air humidity is suitable.

But also pay attention to the water in the basin when watering, otherwiseit is easy to rot root and die. In the growing season, the decomposed liquidfertilizer was applied once every two weeks to ensure the plant growth and darkgreen leaves.

Here they mainly show the sky garden phenomenon of tropical rainforest. Inthe dark and humid tropical rainforest, there are many epiphytes, which canskillfully use the tree right and the nutrient growth in the residual birdmanure, litter or dust on the branches. Now birds Nest Fern and antler fern areepiphytic on the rubber tree, hanging high in the air. When the flowers bloom,their flowers seem to bloom in the air, so they form a wonderful sky garden.

Longtuzhu is a woody Liana belonging to Jatropha of Verbenaceae. Longtuzhuis native to tropical Africa. The suitable temperature for its growth is 18 ℃ to24 ℃ and the temperature in winter is not lower than 8 ℃. Longtuzhu is anexcellent potted flower with dark green leaves, peculiar flower shape and red inwhite, just like youlongtuzhu.

Bambusa, also known as Guanyinzhu, is a genus of Bambusa in Palmaceae,which originated in Guangdong, Yunnan and other places in China. It leavesterminal palmate division, culm covered with bract hair, bract hair fall off,there are nodes such as bamboo.

Red back osmanthus, also known as red back osmanthus, Euphorbiaceae,Aquilaria. It is native to Guangdong, Guangxi and Vietnam, and widely cultivatedin South China. Its an evergreen shrub, green on the surface and purplish redon the back. The flowers are unisexual, dioecious, yellow at first, and yellowwhite later. The flowering period is summer and autumn.

Saxifraga is also known as golden lotus. It is a perennial herbaceousfoliage plant belonging to Saxifragaceae. It is produced in China and Japan. Inrecent years, with the popularization and planting of perennial herbs, they canbe planted under the big trees of old green space, used as ground cover, orplanted beside buildings or rocks. It is also a traditional Chinese herbalmedicine in China.

In the green plant kingdom, pteridophytes are a lower class group of higherplants. In the ancient geological period, most of the ferns were tall trees.Later, due to the changes of the continent, most of them were deeply buried andturned into coal. Most of the plants that exist on the earth today are shortherbaceous plants, and only a few woody species have survived. So far, Alsophilaspinulosa is one of them. Alsophila spinulosa, also known as tree fern, is up to8 meters high. Fern family Alsophila. Because it is the only woody pteridophyte,extremely precious, so it is listed as a kind of key protected plant by thestate. This huge fern once spread all over the world in ancient times and wasone of the food of dinosaurs at that time. Todays relict tree species havebecome "living fossils". It has high scientific research value in speciesevolution, climate change, geographical movement and so on. From the appearance,Alsophila spinulosa looks like a coconut tree. Its trunk is cylindrical, uprightand straight. On the top of the tree, there are many large and long pinnatecompound leaves, which are floating in all directions. If its leaves arereversed, many sporangia can be seen on the back. There are many spores in thesporangia. Alsophila spinulosa has no flowers. Of course, it does not bearfruits and seeds. It depends on these spores to reproduce. Alsophila spinulosalikes warm and humid climate. It is distributed in Yunnan, Guizhou, Sichuan,Tibet, Guangxi, Guangdong, Chinese Taiwan and other places in China. It often growsunder the forest or in the wet and shady places beside the river and valley.Alsophila spinulosa also has many uses. Its stem

Rich in starch, it can be used for food, vases and other utensils. And asmedicine, traditional Chinese medicine is called Feitian Jue, longlongfeng. Ithas small poison, can drive rheumatism, strengthen muscles and bones, clear awayheat and stop cough. Alsophila spinulosa has a beautiful body and is a goodgarden ornamental tree.

Nymphaea is a perennial aquatic herb belonging to Nymphaeaceae, also knownas meridional lotus, water hyacinth, water celery, etc. its leaves are floatingon the water surface, with round shield shaped leaves, green leaves and purpleback leaves. Its flowers have white, red, pink, yellow, blue, purple and othercolors. Its flowering period is from June to August. Each flower can opencontinuously for 4-7 days, and then gradually curl and sink into the water afterwithering. Because of its beautiful flowers and leaves, rich colors and longflowering period, it has always been deeply loved by people. Because water lilyroot can absorb mercury, lead, phenol and other toxic substances in water, it isa rare plant material for water purification, so it has been paid more attentionin the construction of urban water purification, greening and beautification.Most water lilies open near noon and close in the evening. At present, it iscultivated in all provinces in China. The rhizome of water lily can be used forfood or wine making, and can also be used as medicine to treat childrenschronic convulsion. Water lily is divided into tropical water lily, cold zonewater lily two kinds, cold, not cold. Tropical water lily, native to the AmazonRiver Basin, can keep blooming if the temperature is kept at 18 in four seasons.Their differences are as follows:

"A single tree does not make a forest" is an old saying rich in philosophy.However, things in the world are not as monotonous as people think. Although asingle tree is not a vast forest, some trees will create a "forest" spectacle. Asingle tree grows many "tree scholars", forming a forest landscape. The maintrees that create "forest by themselves" are mulberry trees and banyan trees.This is what you see now. It grows rapidly, has a strong plant, has a broadcrown, and its branches and leaves are evergreen all the year round. It iscommonly known as big green tree. You may see that it has a lot of whiskers. Infact, they are called "air rooting". They belong to a kind of adventitious rootsand are a special form of roots of banyan trees. Banyan has a long life span,fast growth and well developed lateral branches and roots. There are many skinholes on the branches, and many aerial roots can grow everywhere, hanging downlike a beard. These aerial roots grow downward and thicken into the soil to formpillar roots, which do not branch or grow leaves. The function of aerial rootingof Ficus microcarpa is the same as other roots, which can absorb water andnutrients. At the same time, it also supports the expanding branches and makesthe crown expand. It stands like a tree trunk between the land and the mainbranches. When the old trees are surrounded by pillar roots of different sizes,the ground occupied by a single tree gives rise to the scene of "becoming aforest". A huge old banyan tree can have more than a thousand pillars. Itscanopy can cover more than 6000 square meters, which is known as "stand aloneforest".

Pandanus is a small tree in the family of pandanus. Its fiber can be usedto make a variety of handicrafts. Fresh flowers contain aromatic oil. Roots,leaves, flowers and fruits are used for medicine. It can cure nephritis, edemaand other inflammatory phlegm. It is mainly distributed in Guangdong, Guangxi,Fujian, Yunnan, Chinese Taiwan and other provinces in China. It is also distributed inother tropical Asia and southern Australia, but mostly in coastal sandy land. Inancient times, Xishuangbanna was a part of the ancient Mediterranean. Due to theHimalayan orogeny in the geological history, the ancient Mediterranean retreatedto the West and experienced "vicissitudes". But who can witness it? The researchresults of geological structure and paleontology bear witness, which isconclusive evidence for science. But these evidences are all "dead" things,which sometimes cannot be explained clearly because of "death without proof".Fortunately, nature has left dozens of plants in Xishuangbanna as livingtestimony because of its "fear", among which the Ludou tree is a very convincingone. After the disappearance of the ancient Mediterranean, it "believed" thatXishuangbanna was a good land, but did not move to the sea with its family.After a long period of training and evolution, it became a member of thetropical rain forest that developed later, and gradually adapted to the acidicsoil, humid and dark forest environment of the tropical rain forest. Moreover,it also changed the habit that it could not grow except by the sea. However, itmay be some of the reasons that "rivers and mountains are easy to change buthabits are difficult to move"

Genetic genes are still working. It needs to grow a lot of aerial roots inthe lower part of the trunk and develop into pillar roots to maintain itsoriginal habit of growing on the beach for "breathing" and supporting the plantson the ground.

Now you are entering the desert exhibition area of succulent plants.Because they have to endure the harsh environment of drought and heat in thedesert, some parts of their bodies have evolved into fat water containers, andsome even their leaves have degenerated into thorns or completely disappeared.Unlike other plants, these plants usually open their stomata when it is cool atnight to release oxygen and absorb carbon dioxide Placed at home, it is anatural "air freshener", which is very beneficial to health.

大家好，我姓洪，是你们这次游丽江古城的导游，期望大家在这次旅游中玩得开心。

我给大家讲了那么多，大家也看了那么多，但是立刻就要进入古城了，怎样没有看到城门呢?其实各位嘉宾是看不到的，这也是丽江古城的一奇，看不到城门，也看不到城墙，因为古城根本没有城墙和城门，因为纳西族的头领姓“木”如果建了城墙和城门就变成了“困”字，所以古城没有城墙，也没有城门。

大家好!今天由我带领你们到恭亲王府一游。你们可以叫我陈导。

恭亲王府的建筑，可分为府邸和花园两部分。进了大门，站在院子里，我们会发现恭亲王府的府邸是由很多间四合院组成。看到两旁排列整齐的房屋。房子的四个角是尖的，房屋是灰色的，房顶还有雕刻的蝙蝠石像。走过正洋门就来到了后花园，园中散置了叠石假山，曲廊亭榭，池塘花木后花园的花种类繁多、有翠绿的竹子、粉色的月季。还有一个人工湖，像一只蝙蝠的形状。显示了皇家的高贵和奢侈。在恭亲王府内随处可见蝙蝠形状的东西以及雕刻的蝙蝠，因为和珅是回民，蝙蝠的蝠和福气的福是同音。和珅非常聪明很会讨皇帝的喜爱，他当时位居皇帝之下万人之上，皇帝是祈求万岁，和珅就想自己万福，据记载在恭王府大大小小的蝙蝠共有九千九百九十九个，连同后花园中的福字碑的福就正好是万福。

恭亲王府有三绝一宝。 第一绝是藏宝楼。长一百五十六米，共一百零八个房间。每个房间的后窗都不一样，人们推测是和珅用来区分财宝的类别的标记，因为这么多的财宝竟然没有账簿。这些财宝相当于十亿两白银。比当时国库里的钱还多很多。第二绝，是进入后花园的大门，叫作西洋门，是手工白玉雕刻而成。是当时中国唯一的一个拱门。第三绝，是戏楼，因为乾陵皇帝经常来看戏。所以变得有名。

一宝是康熙皇帝写得“福"字。这个“福”字是由子、才、多、寿、田组成的。意思是多子、多才、多寿、多田。因为乾陵皇帝宠爱和珅，所以把这个福字碑送给了他。

今天的恭亲王府一日游到此结束。欢迎大家下次光临。

游客朋友们，大家好!我是你们的导游小杰，下面让我为大家介绍一下美丽的九华山吧!

九华山在皖南青阳县境内，是我国四大佛教名山之一。唐代文学家刘禹锡，登上九华山后，对其赞叹不已，认为天下名山均不能与九华山争长。李白曾三上九华山。九华山的特点是山奇峰秀，佛寺众多。

早在东晋年间(401年)，山上就开始建寺庙，以后历代都增建、扩建，形成“三里一小庙，五里一大庙”，庙宇遍布全山，据说兴盛时期多达300余座，僧众四五千人。现在保存完整的寺庙尚有五六十座。游九华山，首先到九华街，这里海拔600多米，是九华山的中心，寺庙也主要集中在这里，因此有“莲花佛国”之称。这里实际上是一个山上的村镇，除了庙宇外，还有商店、学校、旅店、农舍，游人可以在这里住宿，并以此为起点，游览山上的名胜。

九华街上的化城寺，是九华山历史最悠久的晋代的古寺，也是九华山的主寺，寺里的建筑依山势布局，反映当时高超的建筑设计艺术。寺内有一口高一丈有余，重约20__斤的古钟，铸造精美，声音洪亮，用槌撞击，凝重清扬的钟声，在山谷回荡，往往使人有超凡脱俗之感。“化城晚钟”遂成为“九华十景”之一。从九华街往东走不远，有一建在悬崖上的殿堂，就是著名的“百岁宫”。其匾额上书有“钦赐百岁宫，护国万年寺”十个金字。听说，在明朝万历年间，有个叫无暇的和尚，26岁来到九华山，在一个人迹罕至的山洞里苦修了100年。死后3年，人们才在洞中发现他的肉身。山上和尚认为他是活佛转世，遂将尸体装金供奉。明皇帝知道后封他为“应身菩萨”。于是供奉他的小庙香火日旺，寺庙扩展，成为九华山四大丛林之一。游人可以在寺里的肉身殿看到这具头戴僧帽，身披红色袈裟，端坐莲台之上的无暇和尚的装金肉身。

九华胜景在天台。天台峰是九华山的主峰，海拔1300多米。有“不登天台，等于没来”的说法。从九华街上天台，约15华里山路，沿路经过很多风景点。当你气喘吁吁，到达天台正顶，眼前的景色，将使你胸襟开阔，疲劳顿消。四周群山匍伏，远望九华街，只有巴掌那么大了。极目远眺，天地浑然一体，长江如练隐隐可见。清冽的山风送来阵阵松涛、竹喧，令人陶醉。周围的岩石，奇形怪状，多呈黝黑色。有一巨石上刻“非人间”三字。此时此刻，真使人有身临蓬莱仙境之感。在天台上看日出，据说其瑰丽景色不亚于在泰山日观峰看日出。因此“天台晓日”被列为“九华十景”之一。

天安门英文导游辞

Tian’anmen Rostrum

Tian’anmen( the Gate of Heavenly Peace), is located in the center of Beijing. It was first built in 1417 and named Chengtianmen( the Gate of Heavenly Succession). At the end of the Ming Dynasty, it was seriously damaged by war. When it was rebuilt under the Qing in 1651, it was renamed Tian’anmen, and served as the main entrance to the Imperial City, the administrative and residential quarters for court officials and retainers. The southern sections of the Imperial City wall still stand on both sides of the Gate. The tower at the top of the gate is nine-room wide and five –room deep. According to the Book of Changes, the two numbers nine and five, when combined, symbolize the supreme status of a sovereign.

During the Ming and Qing dynasties, Tian’anmen was the place where state ceremonies took place. The most important one of them was the issuing of imperial edicts, which followed these steps:

1) The Minister of Rites would receive the edict in Taihedian( Hall of Supreme Harmony), where the Emperor was holding his court. The minister would then carry the decree on a yunpan( tray of cloud), and withdraw from the hall via Taihemen( Gate of supreme Harmony)

2) The Minister would put the tray in a miniature longting( dragon pavilion). Beneath a yellow umbrella and carry it via Wumen( Meridian Gate), to Tian’anmen Gate tower.

3) A courtier would be invested to proclaim the edict. The civil and military officials lining both sides of the gateway beneath the tower would prostrate themselves in the direction of the emperor in waiting for the decree to the proclaimed.

4) The courtier would then put the edict in a phoenix-shaped wooden box and lower it from the tower by means of a silk cord. The document would finally be carried in a similar tray of cloud under a yellow umbrella to the Ministry of Rites.

5) The edict, copied on yellow paper, would be made known to the whole country.

Such a process was historically recorded as “ Imperial Edict Issued by Golden Phoenix”.

During the Ming and Qing dynasties Tian’anmen was the most important passage. It was this gate that the Emperor and his retinue would go through on their way to the altars for ritual and religious activities.

On the Westside of Tian’anmen stands ZhongshanPark( Dr. Sun Yat-sen’s Park), and on the east side, the Working People’s Cultural Palave. The Park was formerly called Shejitan( Altar of Land and Grain), built in 1420 for offering sacrificial items to the God of Land. It was opened to the public as a park in 1914 and its name was changed in 1928 to the present one in memory of the great pioneer of the Chinese Democratic Revolution.

The Working People’s Cultural Palace used to be Taimiao( the Supreme Ancestral Temple), where tablets of the deceased dynastic rulers were kept.

The stream in front of Tian’anmen is called Waijinshuihe( Outer Golden River),with seven marble bridges spanning over it . Of these seven bridges,historical records say the middle one was for the exclusive use of the emperor and was accordingly called Yuluqiao( Imperial Bridge). The bridges flanking it on either side were meant for the members of the royal family and were therefore called Wanggongqiao( Royal’s Bridges). Farther away on each side of the two were bridges for officials ranking above the third order and were named Pinjiqiao( ministerial Bridges). The remaining two bridges were for the use by the retinue below the third order and wre called Gongshengqiao( common Bridges). They anr the one in front of the Supreme Ancestral Temple to the east and the one in front of the Altar of land and Grain to the west.

The two stone lions by the Gate of Tian’anmen, one on each side were meant as sentries. They gaze toward the middle axis, guarding the emperor’s walkway. In front of the gate stands a pair of marble columns called Huabiao. They are elaborately cut in bas-relief following the pattern of a legendary dragon. Behind the gate stands another pair of similar columns. The story of Huabiao may be traced to a couple of sources. One of the versions accredits its invention to one of the Chinese sage kings named Yao, who was said to have set up a wooden pillar in order to allow the ordinary people to expose evil-doers, hence it was originally called a slander pillar. Later it ws reduced to a signpost, and now it serves as an ornament.

Hello, all of you, Im Wang Ping, a tour guide from Anhui travel agency.You can call me Wang. My side is master Ma, who has many years of drivingexperience. It is a great pleasure to visit the Chaohu scenic area with everyonein this sunny day.

Now our car is driving on lakeside Avenue, Chaohu, also called "Jiao Lake".It is said that in ancient times of Chaohu, a year of drought, the small whitedragon without rainfall except dry, made tiantiao, was the emperorcensureddescends to earth, when coke Laoshan saved, the small white dragon atthe focal basking grace, so he told him to heaven in nest state, coke baskingtimely told all the neighbors, to everyone die hard to avoid. He had delayed theopportunity to escape and was washed away by the flood. The daughter lost a pairof shoes in a hurry, and flooded, later people to commemorate the focal baskingspirit, will be in the lake called "coke Lake", and then turned into a cokebasking in Laoshan Mountain, a daughter, her a pair of shoes into the shoe hill.Of course, these are just a myth. The real Chaohu is of course the result of themovement of the earths crust.

Now we look to the left is our Chaohu, the lake area of Chaohu 800 squarekilometers, is the largest lake in the province, is one of the five largestfreshwater lakes in China. As the water rich, suitable climate for Anhuifish.

The temple stands in Phoenix Palace red sand reef, three facing water, theexisting building for the late Qing Dynasty temple diange, is dedicated to theworship of bixiayuanjun, and now people visit the temple, is no longer theaeriality pray for the gift of God, but in the work, to enjoy the magnificentscenery of Chaohu Nabaili. And in the temple at Island Lake is a vast lake,which is filled with legendary laoshan.

Laoshan Mountain is the most beautiful in Chaohu biggest lake. Laoshan notonly beautiful. Many visitors walk in the places of historic interest and scenicbeauty, rugged road, if you can hear your footsteps slightly heavier, echosounding, this is the Laoshan unique "an echo", if follow the voice can be foundfor the size of more than 20 caves, cave rocks Ling Xun, very wonderfulinsurance. To climb up, you can see the Wenfeng tower.

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 b

(inside the hall of heavenly purity)

ladies and gentlemen:

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

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