鼋头渚仙岛导游词【通用19篇】

奢华的乔家，气派的渠家，壮观的曹家，今天我将带领大家去感受色彩最为浓重的的王家大院。推开王家大院这扇厚重的大门，近700年历史的晋商文化长卷便展现在我们面前，中国民居建筑的典范，家族文化的表率，吉祥文化的标本，这里是中国耕读传家与官商经济的契合，封建文化与传统礼制的全释。

中国北方浑厚的黄土高原上，奇骏而悲情的绵山脚下，这片苍劲古卓的建筑群落负载着千百年华夏文明的映迹，深深的凝结在锦绣三晋的表里山河之中。

于是王家大院就有了许多称谓，中国民间故宫，山西紫禁城，华夏民宅第一宅，还有蜚声遐迩的口碑“王家归来不看院”，所以有人说，王是一个姓，姓是半个国，家是一个院，院是半座城。

王家大院地处晋中盆地的灵石县静升镇静升村，王家是太原王氏的后裔，南宋时迁至这里，清朝中期上升为名门望族，于是大兴土木，几近豪奢，修成了占地15万平方米以上的古建筑群落。王家大院建在背阴抱阳的山坡上，窑洞式设计使之夏无酷暑，冬无严寒，风水人气俱佳。这里的建筑群落，将砖木石雕陈于一院，绘画诗文书法熔于一炉，人物禽兽花木汇成一体，姿态分成，各具特色，既表现了大户人家的风范，又充分显示出自己身高位权的身份，达到了建筑必有图，有图必有意，有意必吉祥的境界。

王家大院被天然冲沟分为东西两片。各自建有城墙，修有城门，砰然两座森严壁垒的大城堡，靠石拱桥连接，跨度之大，令人惊叹。两片大院共有院落54座，大小不一，东边的大院是东堡院，也称高家崖，为17世纪王汝聪，王汝城兄弟兴建于嘉庆十年，也就是1805年的建筑群落。占地面积11728平方米，共26个院落，212间房屋，建筑特点是背阴抱阳，背山而水，阴山构筑，依山重叠，层楼叠院，错落有致，建筑凭借山的高低，使平面空间结构立体化，山则因建筑的韵律而生气势。

走进王汝聪的住宅大门，可以体味到极高的文化品味，使我们能联想到王家的身份，走过联系与分割前后院的夹道，穿过垂花门，主人生活的区域便趁现在我们面前。上房是长辈居住的地方，楼上则是为小姐特设的绣楼，这种布局在封建社会宗法礼教制度上，使长幼有序上下男女有别，充分显示了大院建筑的时代性和民族性。位于大院西边的桂星书院、花园院虽然不大，却也十分幽静，奇花异草使人心旷神怡，即使在封闭的院内，仍可登高俯瞰欣赏大自然的景色，是主任修生养性，吟诗作对的好地方。

还有夹院是上学的私孰，可见主人对下一代教育的重视，的确王家有不少子孙从此走上仕途。东部是厨房院，前中后三个院落，里外共七道门，不同身份的人走不通的门，进不同的餐厅，由此可见，连吃饭庄户人家都是有讲究的。

过了石桥，便是西堡院，此建筑群早于东堡院100年，是建于清乾隆年间，19800平方米，俯视西大院，其平面呈十分规则的矩形，东西宽105米，南北长180米，因只有一个堡门，正对着城堡的主街，雄伟的堡门为两进两层，一方刻有恒真堡的青石牌匾，一方镶嵌在堡门正中央，因堡门为红色，所以称之为红门堡。堡内南北向有一条用大块鹅卵石铺成的龙鲮街，长133米，宽3.6米，主街将西大街分为东西两大区，东西方向有三条横巷，一条纵街和三条横街相交，正好组成一个很大的王字，院院之间相互沟通，相互呼应，互相联系，是一条无形的纽带。

自1997年王家大院以中国民居艺术馆的名义正式开放以来，这个久藏深闺的室内桃源，以其花不知名分外娇的魅力，渐为人们关注与赏识，这个在中国大地，独处一隅乡间的闺院，确实令人反复吟哦!

各位朋友，不知你是否听说过道教素有10 大洞天，36 小洞天，72 福地之说，往往这些“洞天福地”都位于环境优美，人烟稀少的清幽之地。在海南三亚的南海之滨就有这一处这样的“洞天福地”，它就是我们即将前往的三亚大小洞天旅游风景区。

大小洞天又名海山奇观，是我国首批 5A 级旅游景区，它位于三亚市以西 40 公里处的南山的幽静的山谷中，总占地面积有22.5 平方公里，主要是以山景、石景和海景融为一体的大型旅游风景区。自宋代开山辟为旅游景点以来，大小洞天至今已有800 多年的历史，是海南岛历史最悠久的风景名胜，被称为“珠崖第一山水名胜”。

大小洞天能够在这800 年来都受到各代文人墨客的推崇，这本身就不容易，我觉得它经久不衰的受人们喜爱主要有以下几个原因。

第一个原因是大小洞天自古就是一个“洞天福地”。 自唐宋以来，大小洞天即以神仙洞府著称于世，与传说中的东海三仙岛：蓬莱、瀛州、方丈相媲美，号称南海仙岛，曾吸引许多求仙道之人。据史料记载，宋代著名神仙道士，南宗五祖白玉蟾，就因南山的神秀，归隐于此，修建道观，传播道家文化。目前景区内留存有“仙坛”、“仙人足” 等历史遗迹，以及多处游记诗文。此后，大小洞天就成为了道家的一处仙山，成为了一个“洞天福地”。

第二个原因是大小洞天景色优美，是个“海山奇观”。这里林翠云深，岩奇洞幽，水天一色，山海之间宛如一幅古朴雄壮的长卷图画，自宋代知军周康、毛奎相继开山以来，历代文人墨客纷沓而至，留下了许多珍贵的摩崖石刻及绚丽的诗文词赋。1962 年郭沫若游览“大小洞天”后，就把大小洞天誉之为“南溟奇甸”。1993 年，视察南山大小洞天时，有感于景区的美景，就在景区内题写“碧海连天远，琼崖尽是春”的佳句。

第三个原因是大小洞天是个风水宝地。在唐代时，我国著名高僧鉴真和尚东渡日本，前四次都无功而返，第五次东渡时又受台风所扰，在海上漂泊了14 天后终于在大小洞天附近登岸，停留1 年多后返回中原，在条件更加艰难的情况下，第六次东渡却成功了。在后人看来，鉴真能够最后东渡成功，是南山的风水保佑了他，因此，在大小洞天景区，就建有了“鉴真群雕”记录这一事件。

第四个原因是大小洞天是个长寿之地。在大小洞天景区里，长着大批能成活数千年的长寿树——被美喻为“南山不老松”的龙血树。它被称为植物界中的活化石，是国家二级保护树种。不老松自古以来被视为是健康长寿的代表，所以在民间有一句谚语讲得就是“福如东海长流水 寿比南山不老松”。另外，自古以来，这里的人们都很长寿，百岁老人的比率居全国之首，所以长寿之乡“寿比南山”在这里当之无愧。 (结尾、升华)综上所述，大小洞天能够这么多年来被称为“珠崖第一山水名胜”，那是实至名归的。朋友们，我们已经来到了大小洞天景区，相信这“珠崖第一山水名胜”将会是你的海南之旅中最靓丽的一个记忆。

黄山英文导游词

good afternoon! ladies and gentlemen! today, with such great joy, on behalf of anhui travel agency. i’d like to extend our warm welcome to all of you, our distinguished guest from the other side of the pacific. please allow me to introduce myself. my name is li xin and i work for anhui travel agency .during your short stay in huangshan, i’ll be your local guide. it’s my honor to be of your service. if you have any request, go ahead! i’ll try my best to help you and make your stay comfortable!

now, i want to say something about your itinerary. you will be here for about 3 days. during these days, you’ll enjoy not only the beautiful scenery of huangshan mountain, but also the ancient huizhou-culture!

first, we’ll visit the most beautiful scenery—mt.huangshan.

ok, we’re heading for the main gate of huangshan. it’s about 1.5 hour’s bus ride. on the way you can enjoy the beautiful scenery and i’d like to give you a brief introduction about mt.huangshan.

huangshan is probably the most notable mountain in china. it’s located in the south of anhui province, and the main scenic area covers 154 square kilometers. mt.huangshan is well-known not only of its magnificence but also its abundant resources and great variety of zoological species, for which it has been listed as a world natural and cultural heritage site in 1990, and also listed as a world geological garden in , which is unique in china!

in ancient times, mt.huangshan known as mt.yishan because the mountain is formed by granite which looks black and grey, and yi in old chinese means “black”, hence the name. but it renamed mt.huangshan in 747 ad in recognition of the legendary huangdi, who was the reputed ancestor of the chinese people and who made magic pills for immortality here.

wu yue is the collective name given to china’s most important mountains which we can also call them the five holy mountains. it’s said that you won’t want to visit any other mountains after seeing the five holy mountains but you won’t wish to see even the five holy mountains after returning from mt.huangshan. this saying which said by xuxiake, a famous traveler over 400 years ago may give us some idea of the beauty and uniqueness of mt.huangshan.

now, after my introduction, are you expecting to feel the graceful bearing! be patient! there’s only half an hour before we arriving. let’s continue.

within so large area, there is a crowd of peaks, 72 of which have names indicating the shapes they resemble. lotus, brightness top and celestial capital are the three major ones, all rising above 1,800 meters above sea level. and it’s well-known for its four wonders, ( i think some of you know some about it, who knows?) yeah, they are the oddly-shaped pine trees., fantastic rocks, sea of clouds and hot springs. now, people also add to the winter snow as the fifth wonder. here i will not introduce one by one and soon you’ll enjoy with your own eyes. mt.huangshan changes its color and appearance with the alternation of seasons, now it’s winter, and we will keep ourselves into a crystal world of frost and ice with sliver boughs and rocks everywhere. don’t be excited, everybody! as a matter of fact there are marvels almost everywhere, especially in the following scenic areas. hot spring, jade screen tower, west sea, north sea, cloud valley temple and pine valley nunnery.

eyes front! ladies and gentlemen, the colorful archway across the street is the main gate of huangshan. we’ll go directly to the north sea scenic area, which is the most important scenic area! so never miss it!

ok, here we are, seeing is believing, let’s get off the bus and bring your camera.

the first sight that comes to us is yungu temple, here we’ll take yungu cable-car to white goose bridge. it’s about ten minutes. oh, come on, then follow me, walk downstairs to start-to-believe peak. along the way we can see several famous huangshan pines: black tiger pine, couple pine, dragon’s claw pine and so on. now, before we climb to the top of peak start-to-believe, for a breathtaking outlook, that is bamboo-shoot peak. do you see? you surely can take a picture.

en, next destination after start-to-believe is peak lion, let’s go! it’s shaped like a sleeping lion from a point of view in north sea hotel. ok, here is dawn-light pavilion, you can see a group of interesting rocks: you see two in the middle resembling two celestials playing chess, on the left is a man in packback, and on the right is a onlooker—a chinese ancient official who watch play. you can see carefully and do you think so? then we’ll reach a refreshing terrace, and you can view a fan—shaped pine cling to the cliff beneath the terrace a nice crowd of pines, a column of stone looking like a person with a big pen, peak rooster and peak rise surrounding you.

arriving at the destination—on the top of lion peak, you can see a rock like a monkey on the flat top of another hill. it’s a very famous rock: a monkey gazing at the sea when there is a sea of clouds.

i expect that after such a long visit you’d like a good rest, and here are the optimum places to see the sunrise. so now we can go back to the north sea hotel to have a rest.

tomorrow we’ll visit brightness top, lotus peak which is the highest peak in huangshan mountain, and the most famous spot—guest-greeting pine, and which is also the sign of huangshan.

ok, ladies and gentlemen, now our itinerary is all finished. first of all, on behalf of my company, my chinese colleagues and myself, i’d like to take this opportunity to express my thanks for your consideration, understanding, tolerance and cooperation.

a few days ago, we met as total strangers, but today, you leave as my friends. i’ve tried my best to satisfy your needs and explained to you what i know about huangshan mountain. however, there are probably still some unfulfilled requests. i hope you’ll leave your comments and suggestion so that we can better our service in the future.

i look forward to seeing you again soon. at last, i bless you in a chinese words:”一路顺风”! a pleasant journey!

火烧是山西省孝义县具有特殊风味的一种饼类小吃、孝义火烧有咸火烧、糖火烧、菜火烧之分。咸火烧是内包咸盐和茴香，上鏊烙烤。食时，若佐以葱花、大蒜、醋、酱油、盐、味精，更是美味可口。

糖火烧的制作将老酵、碱面和凉水一起放入盆内搅成稀糊，再倒入面粉和成团、面和好后，以手蘸凉水反复搓揉，直到面团光润时，盖上湿布饧三十分钟。同时把红糖、芝麻酱、桂花搅拌调成糖酱。然后把面团放在抹了油的案板上，搓成长条、切块、摁扁，再横着擀成五寸长、三寸宽的厚片，然后，左手(拇指在上，其它四指在下)拿着厚片的左端将面提起，再反腕向案板右方一甩(甩时劲头要匀，动作要利落)，“啪”地一声横落案板上成为尺把长的面片。上面抹匀糖酱，用左手托起面片左端轻轻向外伸长，同时右手把面片由右向左卷成卷，搓匀后揪成面剂，捏成桃形，收口朝上摁成圆饼。按此法将其余面块全部做完。铁鏊在微火上烧热，徐抹麻油，火烧饼坯放鏊上烙烤，烤约五分钟，再翻过来烙正面(两面约烤十分钟左右)。随后放在烤炉中，用微火烤成酱黄色即可。

菜火烧有荤素之分。荤火烧猪肉或羊肉剁成肉沫，配以萝卜白菜，再加花椒、盐、姜沫、味精、葱，搅拌成馅。素火烧纯蔬菜绡拌调料。面用温水和起，放入苏打，揉均匀，盖上湿布饧30分钟。在案板上铺撒面粉，将饧好的面团放在上面，搓成圆条，揪成面剂，并摁成圆皮，包馅，揪去收口处的面头，再摁成圆饼，上鏊烙烤。

火烧的做法不一样，口味各不相同，但是共同的特点是它绵软不粘，香鲜可口，层次均匀，质地酥脆，宜于热吃。

孝义火烧据说与“火烧中阳楼”有关。孝义旧城中央，有一永安市场，市中心有一座宏伟高大、壮观绚丽的古楼——中阳楼。此楼相传建自汉魏，自汉唐设郡以后，孝义为一方重镇，车骑缤纷，商贾弥至，往来郡城者，多道出其间。凡事至邑者，必身临其境，瞻仰其楼，而后赞之：真乃高矣!如此数代相传，颇有名声。而孝义人也常以其傲之。逢人便说：“俺孝义的中阳楼，半个还在天上头!”此话确有欺天之意，久之惹恼上帝，遂派火神下界烬之。

清朝顺治辛卯年四月十五日，永安市场大会，中阳楼下的四条大街，商铺错落，车水马龙，人山人海，热闹异常。小吃摊上人们品尝着各种风味小吃。

中午时辰，街市正红火。中阳楼下又增添了一位头发斑白、衣衫褴楼的卖火烧老翁。老翁眉头紧锁，似有忧闷之情。他一面制作火烧，一面高声反复叫卖;“世人快来买火烧，吞掉火烧，火就不烧”老翁奇特的叫卖声，引来众人围观。一个年青的后生问老翁：“多少钱一个?”翁答：“百两黄金，千两白银”。“小小火烧，这般昂贵，怪事!”围观的人们议论纷纷，深感怪异，百思不解。老翁愤激地说：“嫌我的火烧小，那你们等大火烧吧!”说罢，老翁收摊而去。中午刚过，中阳楼突然起火，不到一刻，便成瓦砾一堆。

事后，人们把中阳楼火灾与卖火烧老翁的出现联在一起，以为是神的点化。于是，城里人普吃火烧，认为不吃火烧，火即烧房燃屋，随着乡里人也照做。此后，火烧便成了邑人的食俗。至今，汾孝一带过年都吃火烧，多在大年除夕夜食，谓之“翻身火烧”。

欢迎大家来到三峡中的巫峡风景区，这里景色迷人。下面大家随我一起开始一趟美妙的三峡之旅。

三峡包括巫峡、瞿塘峡、西陵峡。在二百多里的三峡中，有许多高低起伏的山峰，没有中断的地方。请游客们注意一下这里的山峰，是多么的雄伟《水经注》作者郦道元曾经写道：“两岸连山，略无阙处。重岩叠嶂，隐天蔽日自非亭午夜分，不见曦月。”讲的就是这里的山峰重峦叠嶂，峰峦雄伟。抬头仰望三峡的山峰，只见山势拔地而起，巍峨峻峭，满山树木郁郁苍苍，望不到山顶。

下面介绍一下三峡的水，请游客注意一下船下的水，现在处于夏天水势上涨，那是奔放的美，水势磅礴、惊涛骇浪。

但是春秋时候秋天的时候水就临近枯涸，有的只是凄凉。但这里仍然很美岩石树木的倒影，有奇形怪状的柏树。那是清幽美。这里凄凉异常，猿声不绝于耳。

三峡的水清澈见底请游客们捧一口水看看，体会它的美。请游客注意了那前面的就是瀑布了，这时会让我们想起李白的 “飞流直下三千尺，疑似银河落九天”的磅礴气势。

请大家好好饱览这里的风光吧！下次有机会再来参观三峡！

大家可以看看它的叶子，苍翠欲滴，绿得多么耀眼，似乎每一片绿叶上都有一个新的生命在颤动，显得生机勃勃，好像要把它的生命力展示给我们看。现在我们来到它的浓荫下，呀，它长得好密呀，真是遮天蔽日啊!

大家竖起耳朵听，听到了什么?对了，是鸟儿那清脆的鸣叫声，你们看，它们有的在梳洗羽毛，有的在追逐嬉戏，万鸟盘旋飞舞，展翅高飞，这儿最有名的是白鹤和灰麻鹤，白鹤是日出夕归，而灰麻鹤恰恰相反，是夕出日归，清晨或傍晚，万鸟交替出归，到时，看见了这只，错过了那只;看见了这只，另一只又飞起来了。你们绝对应接不暇哦!

现在，让我们踏上小岛，感受它的勃勃生机吧!

人们常说:不到故宫、长城就等于没去过北京;不到外滩船游浦江、登东方明珠或金茂大厦就等于没去过上海;不长到西湖、宋城就不知杭州的千年风情;那么不到中山陵你就等于白来了一趟南京。大家都是大老远出来旅游的，有的以前也许来过，有的以后可能再来，还有的可能旅游完这一趟以后就不会再来了，所以期望大家能多看一看其中的经典精华少留一些遗憾。

说起中山陵，当然要提到它的主人——伟大的中国民主革命先行者孙中山先生。孙先生本名孙文，字逸仙。因为他在日本从事革命活动时曾用过“中山樵”的化名，所以他在国内被尊称为孙中山先生。孙中山1866年11月12日出生于广东香山县(今中山市)翠亨村的一个农民家庭。他先后求学于檀香山、香港等地，毕业后在广州、澳门等地行医。之后他弃医从政，并于1905年在日本组织中国同盟会，被推举为总理，提出了“驱除按虏，恢复中华，建立民国，平均地权”的著名纲领，及三民主义学说。1911年10月10日武昌起义爆发后，孙先生被十七省代表推举为中华民国临时大总统，并于次年元旦在南京宣誓就职。此后，经历了“袁世凯窃国”“二次革命”“护国运动”“护法运动”等风风雨雨，1921年他在广州就任中华民国十分大总统。在1924年1月广州召开的中国国民政府第一次全国代表大会上，他将旧三民主义发展为新三民主义，提出了“联俄”“联共”“扶助农工”的三大政策。同年11月他应冯玉祥之邀抱病北上讨论国家大计，终因积劳成疾，于1925年3月12日在北京逝世。

中山陵的墓址是孙先生生前选定的。你们也许会问;孙先生出生于广东，逝世在北京，毕生为革命奔波于各地，为什么要选择南京作为自我的长眠之地呢据说，早在1912年孙先生就任临时大总统时，灵谷寺的住持和尚就曾向他推荐过这块“前临平川，后拥青嶂”的风水宝地。当年3月31日，中山先生为求南北和平统一，毅然辞去总统之职。4月初的一天，他与胡汉民等人到明孝陵一带打猎，来到现陵墓所在地休息。孙先生环顾四周，对左右说，我将来死后，想向国民求得这块土地以安葬。当然，紫金山的气势风水还不是孙先生作此决定的根本原因。孙先生临终前嘱咐：“吾死之后，可葬于南京紫金山麓，因南京为临时政府成立之地，所以不忘辛亥革命也。”所以，尽管孙先生在南京停留时间并不长，但南京对于孙先生是具有特殊意义的。他选择南京紫金山为墓址，从根本上说，是为了纪念辛亥革命，激励革命同仁。

中山陵是由年轻建筑师吕彦直设计的钟形图案。于1926年3月12日孙先生逝世一周年之际，举行了奠基典礼。历时3年多，耗资150万银元，中山陵最终在1929年春竣工。令人惋惜的是，建筑师吕彦直在主持建陵过程中，呕心沥血，鞠躬尽瘁，不幸与孙先生一样身患肝癌，在工程临近尾声时病逝，年仅35岁。1929年6月1日举行奉安大典，孙先生的遗体从北京运到南京。从此60余年，孙先生一向长眠在那里。中山陵的建造能够说是南京城建设史上的一件大事。当年为了迎接孙先生灵枢，南京修筑了第一条柏油马路——西起中山码头，东至中山门，长达24里的中山路。直到今日，中山路依然是南京最主要的交通干道之一。同时改造翻修了明代城门朝阳门，并改名为中山门。在中山门到中山陵之间还修筑了一条陵园路。

大家此刻所在的即是中山陵前的半月形广场。请朝南看，广场正南是一座八角形石台。台上那尊双耳三足的紫铜宝鼎，重5000公斤，高4.25米，腹径1.23米，是中山陵纪念性装饰之一。此鼎铸于1933年秋，由广州中山大学全体师生和戴季陶捐赠。鼎一面铸有“智、仁、勇”三个字，是中山大学校训。鼎内竖有一块六角形铜牌，上刻戴母手书《孝经》全文。由广场踏阶而上，迎面是一座四楹三阙门的冲天式石牌坊。这座牌坊建于1931~1933，高12米，宽17.3米。建坊用的都是大块福建花岗岩，但采用的却是中国传统木结构形式。大家抬头能够望见坊额正中金光闪闪的“博爱”两字。这两个字是孙先生的手迹，原出自唐韩愈《原道》“博爱之为仁”一语。据说孙先生生前最爱题这两字送人。孙先生毕生以伟大的博爱精神致力于资产阶级民主革命，为民族的独立自由奋斗不息，能够说“博爱”二字正是对他一生的高度概括和最好写照。

由博爱坊向前走，是一段长480米，宽数十米的墓道。中山陵的整体设计，突出中国的传统风格，庄严肃穆，独具特色。为了体现孙先生的崇高伟大，中山陵沿用了古代依山为陵的惯例，将墓室筑于海拔约160米的全陵最高处。此外，整个陵区的建筑植被讲求中轴对称，更给人以法度庄严之感。请大家向前看，朝北顺坡而上，依次有陵门、碑亭、祭堂和祭堂后的墓室等建筑。而墓道两边的这些雪松、桧柏、银杏、红枫两两相对，代替了古代惯用的石人石兽，象征着孙先生的革命精神和高尚品质。雪松是世界四大观赏树种大一，现已成为南京市的市树。

墓道尽头是平台。根据吕彦直的设计，整个陵墓平面为“木铎”形。铎，就是平常我们说的大铃挡。在古代它是用来宣布政教法令和战争令的。铎的声音宏亮，并且传得很远，有“使天下皆达道”的喻义。陵墓选用这样一个图式，让人不禁想起孙先生“革命尚未成功，同志仍需努力”的名言，其用意也正在警示后人。那里的平台广场就是当年吕彦直设计的”自由之钟”的下缘。这座宏伟的三拱门，是陵区的正式开端。它高16米，宽27米，进深8.8米，也是用福建花岗岩筑成的。中门横额上是孙中山手书“天下为公”，出自《礼记.礼运》中的“大道之行也，天下为公”，意思是说国家政权不是哪一家的天下，而是天下人的天下，老百姓的天下。这是孙先生毕生奋斗的梦想，也是他所倡导的三民主义的极好注解。

过了陵门便是碑亭。亭正中这块9米高的巨碑上，刻有国民政府元老谭延闿手书的“中国国民政府葬总理孙先生于此中华民国十八年六月一日”24个馏金颜体大字。当初讨论立碑时，计划由汪精卫、胡汉民等人分别撰写铭文、墓志铭等。可花了两年时间也没写出来。大家都认为先生的思想功绩是文字所无法概括的、于是索性不写铭文，改用此刻的形式。出碑亭，迎面石阶层层叠叠。南京人常说中山陵的台阶像是卢沟桥的石狮子——数不清。所以来这儿游览的客人常常要问：中山陵究竟有多少级台阶呢各位朋友，大家不妨也来数数看吧。

来到临近顶端的平台，能够看见一对大铜鼎，上刻“奉安大典”字样，是当时上海政府捐赠的。大家仔细看，会发此刻左边那个鼎下头有两个洞。为什么会这样呢原先这是1937年末日军攻占南京时向中山陵炮击造成的，这两个洞就是当时留下的弹洞。如今虽时过境迁，但这两个弹洞仍时时提醒我们莫忘国耻。距此不远的前方还有一对仿古青铜鼎，那是由孙先生的儿子孙科一家敬赠的。

大家登上顶台，由此既可鸟瞰，更宜远眺。置身此间，背倚巍巍钟山，耳听阵阵松涛，更觉伟人的浩然正气与大自然同存。祭堂处在钟山半山腰，从博爱坊到祭堂总共有392级台阶，高差约70米，平面距离700米。如从碑亭数起则有290级台阶。建筑师为避单调，将这392级台阶分作10段，每段1个平台，总计有大小10个平台。更妙的是，从下向上看时一望到顶，石阶连绵不断，不见平台;而各位此刻朝下看时，却反而不见台阶，只见平台了。这392级的数字并非巧合，而是暗喻了当时全中国三亿九千二百万同胞。一路登行，“高山仰止，景行行止”，对中山先生敬仰之情不禁油然而生。

此刻大家应对的就是祭堂和墓室，这是陵墓的主体部分。当年吕彦直督建至此，就因身患绝症而逝，常令后人发出“出师未捷身先死”之叹。祭堂是仿木结构宫殿式建筑，长30米，阔25米，高29米，四周有堡垒式的小建筑物，并有两座高12.6米的华表拱卫。祭堂屋顶为重檐九脊，上覆蓝色琉璃瓦，外墙全用香港花岗岩砌成。祭堂门额上有“民族”“民生”“民权”阳文篆字，这是孙先生从事革命活动最基本最概括的指导思想。居中的“民生”门相上端，又有孙中山手书的“天地正气”四字直额。

请各位跟我进入祭堂。祭堂内部以云南产白黑色大理石铺地。堂内有直径0.8米的黑色石柱12根，四周墙壁下嵌黑色大理石。大家能够看见东西两壁上所刻的孙中山手书《建国大纲》全文。整个祭堂以黑白蓝色为基调，均为中国传统孝色。而镶嵌彩色玻璃的内窗，在阳光照射下却显出另一番西洋风味。如此中西合壁的风格，正与孙先生融贯中西的精神气度相契合。祭堂正中是孙中山着长袍马褂的石刻全身坐像。像高4.6米，底座阔2.1米。这座雕像是当时世界著名的法籍波兰雕刻家保罗.阿林斯基受孙中山葬事委员会之托，用意大利白石雕刻而成，并于1930年从巴黎运至中山陵的，全部造价150万法郎。坐像下四面的6幅浮雕是截取了孙先生从事革命活动的6个片断。它们分别是“如抱赤子”“出国宣传”“商讨革命”“国会授印”“振聋发聩”和“讨袁护国”。

经过祭堂来到墓室。墓门分两道，第一道是两扇美国产的紫铜保险门，门上的门钉和铜环上的神兽(椒图)极富中国传统特色。门楣上刻“浩气长存”横额，取孙中山为黄花岗烈士墓所书手迹。第二道门为独扇铜门，上刻张静江所写“孙中山先生之墓”七个篆字。

墓室是半球形封闭建筑，顶呈西式穹隆状，以马赛克镶成国民政府党徽图案。室内圆形，铺以大理石，直径约18米，高11米，四壁以淡红色大理石贴面。正中的圆形大理石圹，直径4.33米，深1.7米，四周围是1米高的白色大理石栏杆。圹内墓穴上安放着孙先生穿中山装的大理石卧像，这是捷克雕塑家高琪按孙先生的遗体形象所作。孙先生的紫铜棺就安放在卧像下5米左右处。为什么祭堂内的坐像身着长袍马褂，而那里却改穿中山装了呢原先当年国民政府内左右两派矛盾尖锐，以蒋司令为首的右派主张塑像穿长袍马褂;而左派则主张穿中山装。两派意见不合，结果各搞各的，就出现了上述情景。各位朋友，孙先生的遗体究竟是否还在中山陵，这是每一位来那里的游客最关心的问题。事实上，自孙先生逝世后，他的遗体的确是历经磨难。1925年3月12日孙先生逝世时，他的遗体经过防腐处理，暂时被安置在北京香山碧云寺。1926年，被北伐军打败逃到北京的军阀张宗昌，把失败的原因归咎为孙先生的遗体压住了他的风水。于是他打算要焚化遗体。后经爱国将领张学良派兵保护，遗体才得以保存，但已受到空气侵蚀。1929年5月28日灵柩由津浦铁路从北京运抵浦口，6月1日运达中山陵。奉安大典仪式完毕后，即用水泥将灵柩浇入圹中。墓穴用花岗岩垫底，

四周建隔墙，紫铜棺下有一特制楠木垫，棺上有一层密封着的水晶透明板。当年公祭时，站在石圹边，扶栏即可瞻仰中山先生遗容。抗战爆发后，国民政府政府曾准备将遗体运往重庆;解放战争后期，蒋司令又曾想将遗体迁往中国台湾，但由于爆破墓穴势必会损坏遗体，因而受到工程界爱国人士和国民政府左派的极力劝阻，最终使遗体得以安然保存至今。

沿祭堂外广场两侧后壁有一道门，通向墓堡公园。中为墓室宝顶，呈覆钟形。墓堡后墙设有“中山陵建设史料展”，近200幅珍贵历史资料展现了中山陵的建设和中山先生的遗体奉安全过程。

除了陵墓主体建筑外，中山陵周围还有一些纪念性建筑设施。包括藏经楼、音乐台、光化亭、行健亭、仰止亭、流徽榭等等。它们大多是1929年奉安大典后，各界人士和海外侨胞友人捐款修建而成。另外，位于梅花山顶的博爱阁，是一位台湾同胞捐资兴建的，于1993年11月12日孙先生诞辰127周年时落成。

孙中山先生的一生都在为革命事业奉献着。解放后，中山陵受到国家高度重视，1961年被国务院公布为国家级文物保护单位。如今，作为“中国旅游胜地四十佳”之一的中山陵每年接待着来自世界各地的无数炎黄子孙与国际友人。人们怀着对中山先生伟大精神的崇敬与景仰来到那里凭吊拜谒。在两岸统一成为大势所趋、人心所向的今日，应对目前海峡两岸的现状，海内外炎黄子孙都衷心期盼着祖国统一、繁荣昌盛的那一天早日到来。彼时彼刻，倘若孙中山先生泉下有知，必会含笑长眠的。

多谢大家!

大家好!

欢迎大家来到九寨沟观光旅游。我是大家的导游罗邵仁，现在我们就来游览一下九寨沟吧!九寨沟以原始的生态环境，一尘不染的清新空气和雪山、森林、湖泊组合成神妙、奇幻、幽美的自然风光，显现“自然的美，美的自然”，被誉为“童话世界”、“人间仙境”。九寨沟的高峰、彩林、翠海、叠瀑和藏族风情被称为“五绝”。 现在就让我们一同走进九寨沟去细细地欣赏它美丽的风景。

首先我们来到的这一个地方是盆景滩，这里的水清澈见底，各种各样高高低低的灌木遍布水中，形成天然的画面。来，我们在的这一个地方就是芦苇海了，看，这儿芦苇丛中野趣盎然，在这，无边无际的芦苇长在沼泽地上，微风吹过，一层层碧绿的芦苇时起时伏，像绿色的浪花翻滚，看吧!是不是很漂亮呀?这里那成群的鸳鸯和野鸭栖息在这儿，看呀!它们时而在水面上飞翔，时而在苇海中追逐嬉戏，时而用翅膀拍打水面，激起一朵朵水花，是不是很好看呀!

九寨沟湖泊众多，大大小小共有114个，当地人叫它“海”。游客朋友们，九寨沟还有一个神奇的传说就是犀牛海的传说。传说有一个西藏老喇嘛身患重病骑着犀牛奄奄一息的来到了这里，不知为什么他喝了这里的水，病就奇迹般地好了。之后老喇嘛天天喝这里的水，最后他就和犀牛一同走入了水中，从此这儿就叫做犀牛海。

九寨沟四季景色都十分迷人。春时嫩芽点绿，瀑流轻快;夏来绿荫围湖，莺飞燕舞;秋至红叶铺出，彩林满目;冬来雪裹山峦，冰瀑如玉。我请各位游客注意的事是九寨沟地处高原地区，来这儿旅游要多带点药品和衣服，还要多吃水果、蔬菜。

九寨沟到处都有美丽的景色，我说也说不尽，请你们自己慢慢游赏吧。还要注意，不要随地吐痰，不要折断花草树木，不要乱丢垃圾。1个小时之后，再在这里相见吧!

鲁迅故里导游词

各位游客，欢迎你们参观绍兴鲁迅纪念馆。绍兴是座历史文化名城，自古人杰地灵，群星灿烂，我国现代伟大的文学家、思想家和革命家鲁迅就是其中一个杰出的代表。鲁迅原名周树人，1881年9月25日诞生于绍兴都昌坊口一个破落的封建士大夫家庭。他7岁启蒙，12岁就读于三味书屋。13岁时，祖父因科场贿赂案下狱，父亲周伯宜因此一病不起，从此家道中落，饱受世态炎凉。鲁迅18岁那年，毅然“走异路，逃异地，去寻求别样的人们”，先后去南京、日本学习。1909年夏回国后，先后在杭州、绍兴、北京、厦门、广州和上海等地从事教学工作和文学创作。1936年10月19日病逝于上海大陆新村寓所，享年56岁。

鲁迅一生有1/3以上的时光是在绍兴度过，他不仅仅在故乡度过了童年和青少年时代，而且还进行了他初期的教学实践、文学创作和社会革命活动。故乡的生活经历不仅仅对他的思想发展有很大的影响，同时也是他文学创作的重要源泉。这天我们要踏着这位伟人的足迹，寻访他的故园。

此刻我们来到鲁迅先生的出生地——鲁迅故居。鲁迅故居位于都昌坊口周家新台门西首。周家新台门是周家多年聚族而居的地方。它建于清嘉庆年间，坐北朝南，青瓦粉墙，砖木结构，是一座典型的江南特有的那种深宅大院。1918年经族人共议将这座屋宇连同后面的百草园卖给了东邻朱姓。房屋易主后，原屋大部分已拆除重建，但鲁迅故居的主要部分幸得保存，所以这天我们能有幸看到这原汁原味的鲁迅故居。

这两扇黑油油的石库台门，原系周家新台门的边门，是鲁迅家人出入的地方。

这间普通的泥地平屋是鲁迅家当年用来安放交通工具的地方。大家都明白，绍兴有“东方威尼斯”之称，因此在一般家庭中都备有水上的交通工具，那两支高大的橹是大船上所用，而那两支小的是乌篷船上用的桨。轿子是陆上交通工具，其中轿杠系鲁迅家原物。

从右侧门进去，穿过长廊，就到了“桂花明堂”。明堂在绍兴俗称天井，那里原先种着两株茂盛的金桂，桂花明堂由此得名。鲁迅小时候夏天经常躺在桂树下的小板桌上乘凉，他的继祖母蒋氏则摇着芭蕉扇一边打扇，一边给小鲁迅猜谜，讲“猫是老虎的师父”、“水漫金山”等故事，使鲁迅从小就受到民间文学的熏陶，为他以后的文学创作带给了丰富的素材。之后，他在《狗·猫·鼠》、《论雷峰塔的倒掉》等文章中均有生动的回忆。

穿过桂花明堂，便来到鲁迅的卧室。1909年夏，鲁迅从日本留学回国后，从杭州回到故乡，先后在绍兴府中学堂和山会初级师范学堂担任教职。这间卧室是当时他在绍任教期间的卧室兼书房。鲁迅常常在那里备课、写作到深夜。他的第一篇文言文小说《怀旧》就在那里写成。卧室里陈列着的铁梨木床是当年的原物。

穿过石板天井，迎面就是保存完好的鲁迅故居两楼两底。拾阶而上，东首前半间是当年鲁迅家吃饭、会客的主要活动场所，绍兴俗称“小堂前”。鲁迅在绍任教时期，经常在那里接待来访的朋友和学生。客厅的右上角那张皮躺椅是鲁迅父亲用过的。当年鲁迅祖父周福清科场舞弊案发后，鲁迅的父亲被革去秀才身份，此后就一蹶不振，郁郁寡欢，借酒消愁，以至病魔缠身后被庸医所误，年仅36岁就去世。从此鲁迅家也就从小康人家而坠入困顿，经历了这一系列的家庭变故，少年鲁迅饱受世态炎凉和人情冷暖，看到了上层社会的堕落和丑恶，对他的思想产生了极大的影响，从而走上了寻求真理的道路。(4)

与客厅一板之隔是鲁迅母亲的房间。南边那张八脚大床是鲁迅的母亲——鲁瑞睡过的原物。东边这张小床是当年鲁迅的弟弟周建人睡过的床。

靠窗桌子上陈列着的是鲁迅母亲做针线活用的物品。鲁迅的母亲鲁瑞是绍兴乡下安桥头人，性格和善而坚毅，以自修到达能够看书的文化水平。鲁迅对他的母亲很佩服，以前说过：“我的母亲如果年轻二三十岁，也许要成为女英雄呢。”鲁瑞确实是一个很不平凡的母亲，她培养的三个儿子被现代文坛称为“周氏三杰”。

小堂前的西边是鲁迅继祖母蒋氏的卧室。这位继祖母性情开朗，讲话幽默风趣，经常给侄孙辈讲故事、猜谜语，鲁迅对这位继祖母留下了深刻的印象。

与鲁瑞卧室相隔一天井，就是鲁迅家烧菜做饭的灶间，也就是厨房。在厨房正前方的这座绍兴旧时大户人家所用的“三眼大灶”，是根据当事人回忆复原的，灶壁上绘有祈福避邪的图画和文字。北面墙上的菜罩是当年鲁迅家的“忙月”章福庆亲手制作的原物。章福庆有时将儿子运水带来帮忙，并与鲁迅结为形影不离的好朋友。鲁迅和运水第一次见面就在这厨房里。“紫色的圆脸，头戴一顶小毡帽，颈上套一个明晃晃的银项圈”，就是这个运水让鲁迅认识了一个在书本上见不到的陌生世界。1921年，鲁迅在创作小说《故乡》时，把运水作为模特儿，塑造了“闰土”这个活生生的艺术形象。

后面这三间是鲁迅家存放稻谷、农具的地方，右边这间是章福庆的住所，中间是通向百草园的过道。

各位游客，此刻我们看到这个园子就是著名的“百草园”，百草园的名称虽雅，但其实是一个普通的菜园，是当时新台门内十几户人家共有的一个荒芜的菜园，平时种一些瓜菜，秋后用来晒稻谷。童年鲁迅经常和小伙伴们在百草园内嬉戏玩耍，夏天在树荫下乘凉，秋天在泥墙根一带捉蟋蟀。冬天就在雪地上捕鸟。对于百草园，鲁迅曾在《从百草园到三味书屋》这篇著名的散文中作了十分形象生动的描述。文中他无限深情地写道：“不必说碧绿的菜畦。光滑的石井栏，高大的皂荚树，紫红的桑椹……单是周围的短短的泥墙根一带，就有无限的趣味。”此刻我们所看到的百草园就是鲁迅当年笔下的景致。鲁迅12岁时被家人送到三味书屋读书，不得不与他的蟋蟀们、覆盆子和木莲们告别，去全城最严厉的私塾读书。下方让我们告别那里的一切，跟随鲁迅的文章《从百草园到三味书屋》。

从鲁迅故居出来，东行数百步，往南走过一座石板桥，从一扇黑漆竹丝门进去，就到了鲁迅少年时代读书的地方——三味书屋。三味书屋是清末绍兴城里很有名的私塾，它坐东朝西，原是寿家书房，鲁迅12岁开始到这儿读书，五年多的学习生涯，使他受益匪浅，积累了丰富的文化知识，为日后从事文学创作打下了十分坚实的基础。

书屋正中悬挂着“三味书屋”的匾额，两边柱子上有一副抱对：“至乐无声唯孝悌;太羹有味是诗书。”都是清朝著名书法家梁同书所写。何为“三味”，根据寿镜吾先生的儿子回忆：“读经味如稻粱，读史味如肴馔，诸子百家，味如醯醢。”其中醯醢是调味品。匾额下挂着一幅《松鹿图》，学生每一天上学要先对着匾和图行礼，然后才开始读书。

当时私塾的教学，老师是坐在中间的这张方桌边上的高背椅子上，两旁的椅子则是供来宾歇坐。学生的课桌是自备的，所以看上去参差不一。鲁迅的座位在书屋的东北角，这张硬木书桌和椅子是当年鲁迅使用过的原物。我们此刻还能够看到当年鲁迅在桌子右下角亲手刻下的“早”字。关于这个“早”字，那里面还有一个小故事。有一次鲁迅因家中有事，上学迟到了，受到先生的严厉批评，他为了提醒自我，就在书桌上刻下一个“早”字，勉励和告诫自我今后不可再迟到。

三味书屋的老师名叫寿镜吾，这是他的画像。鲁迅评价他是“极方正、质朴、博学的人”。寿老先生品行端正，性格耿直，终身以坐馆授徒为业，他的为人和治学态度给鲁迅留下很深的印象，对鲁迅产生很大的影响。

三味书屋后面有一个小园子，园内种有两株桂花和一株腊梅，当年鲁迅和小伙伴常在这一方小天地里玩抓蟋蟀、找脱壳的蝉蜕，看蚂蚁背苍蝇等游戏。

请游客们随我穿过马路。此刻大家看到的这组颇具规模的清代建筑群就是我们这天要参观的鲁迅祖居——周家老台门。鲁迅祖居是目前保存最为完好的典型台门建筑群，是鲁迅祖辈世居之地。乾隆十九年(1754年)，周氏第八代世祖周绍鹏因家业发展的需要，举家迁址于覆盆桥，营造这座台门大院，成为颇具规模的封建士大夫住宅。鲁迅祖居坐北朝南，青瓦粉墙，砖木结构。台门主体建筑有台门斗、大厅、香火堂、后楼共四进。东首有坐东朝西的厢楼九间，西首有坐西朝东的厢楼七间，堂屋之间均有明堂和廊屋贯通。现由“鲁迅祖居复原陈列”和“绍兴民俗陈列”两部分组成。此刻请各位先随我参观“鲁迅祖居复原陈列”。

这沿街第一进俗称“台门斗”，建有头门、仪门。头门就是这六扇黑漆竹丝大门，俗称“竹丝台门”。之后便是仪门，左右各有耳房，仪门上方悬挂着一块蓝底金字的“翰林”匾，自右而左书着“翰林”两个字，左右还有泥金小楷的上下款，上款：“巡抚浙江等处地方提督军务节制水陆各镇兼管两浙盐政杨昌浚为”，下款：“钦点翰林院庶吉士周福清立”。这位钦点翰林的周福清便是鲁迅的祖父。这对周氏来说是前所未有的荣耀，因而在周氏聚族的三个台门斗里都挂起完全相同的“翰林”匾。第二进为厅堂，绍兴俗称“大堂前”，是周氏族人举行重大喜庆活动和祭祖的公共活动场所。大厅是三开间的一个通间，正中上方挂着一块长方形白底黑字的“德寿堂”大匾，这是周氏老台门的堂名。大厅两旁的左右柱子上有一抱对：品节详明，德性坚定;事理通达，心气和平。大厅北面隔一天井是第三进，俗称“香火堂前”。是祭祀祖宗和处理丧事之用，原堂前正中上方有神龛，存放周氏历代祖先牌位。香火堂左右各有一间，左边为客厅、餐室，右边为佛堂、客房。香火堂北面再隔一个方形的石板天井是第四进。俗称“座楼”，是周家的主要生活住宅区。座楼中间一问小堂前一般作为平时会客、祭祖用。

各位游客，我们已参观完整个中轴线部分，此刻请大家参观西侧厢。西侧厢自南而北依次是厨房和佣人房间。接下来请大家随我一齐参观东侧厢。东厢花厅是大书房，是台门子弟启蒙读书的地方。其陈列与三味书屋不一样。书房正上方悬挂着一块“志伊学颜”匾额，“伊”指以才著称的商汤宰相伊尹，“颜”指以德著称的孔子弟子颜回。这是教育台门弟子要立志高远，学习认真。墙上挂有一盏灯笼，灯笼上有“文星高照”四个字，灯笼外倒挂着一株葱，灯笼里点一支状元蜡烛，以示弟子聪明之意。

周家老台门是周氏的祖宅，所以当时周氏有重大喜庆活动和祭祖都在老台门的大厅举行，鲁迅在绍兴时期，遇到节庆或祖先忌日，必去老台门行礼。鲁迅最后一次到老台门是1919年举家北迁之时。“鲁迅祖居复原陈列”的参观到此结束。

下方去参观鲁迅生平事迹陈列厅。陈列厅是一座中西结合的建筑，门楣上方“绍兴鲁迅纪念馆”七个鎏金大字为郭沫若所题。进入大门迎面是一座汉白玉鲁迅胸像。序厅左右墙上各挂有鲁迅手迹。我们的参观是从左边开始。整个陈列以鲁迅的思想发展为主线，分五个部分：第一部分介绍鲁迅少年时期的社会环境与生活状况;第二部分是鲁迅青少年时代在南京、日本、杭州、绍兴寻找救国救民的真理与用心投身反清革命斗争的事迹;第三部分是辛亥革命后，鲁迅在北京、厦门、广州继续探索革命的新路，最后举起反帝反封建的文化大旗，成为新文化运动的主将;第四部分是鲁迅在上海辉煌的十年;第五部分介绍了鲁迅逝世后，人们用各种不一样的方式纪念他、学习他。各位来宾，绍兴还有许多与鲁迅有关的人文景观，离鲁迅故居不远有一家因鲁迅的名篇《孔乙己》而名扬四海的百年老店——咸亨酒店，各位如有兴趣不妨去“拜访”一下孔乙己，品一品绍兴酒，嚼一嚼茴香豆，领略鲁迅笔下的绍兴风情。

这天的参观到此结束，多谢大家。

Ming Xiaoling Mausoleum is the first emperor of the Ming Dynasty and the queen Zhu Yuanjin Ma burial tomb, which is located in the southern foot of the purple mountain long Fu play in Mount Everest, Nanjing is the largest and one of the best preserved imperial tombs.So far more than 600 years of history.

The emperors in ancient China chose the site of the mausoleum very carefully, and paid special attention to choosing the land of "Ji Di", that is, the place of geomantic omen.Every time I go out the site, in addition to sending one or two court officials, but also absorb the knowledge of geography, will see the alchemist in Feng shui.After selecting the mausoleum, the emperor had to examine the scene himself and was satisfied with it and was finally finalized.Soon after Zhu Yuanzhang ascended the throne, he was concerned about the "paradise" after his death, and began to plan the construction of the mausoleum.It is said that he has called Liu Bowen, Xu Da, Tang He, and other ministers to discuss site selection.Five people agreed to write their respective best burial sites on paper and then open them at the same time.The results are written, Great minds think alike., Dulong Fu Mount Everest ".So the site of the tomb of Zhu Yuanjin was thus fixed.Dulong Fu is a hill located beneath the Zijin Mountain peak, 150 meters high, about 400 meters in diameter, is like a huge natural grave.Chinese feudal emperor often put themselves as sons of the heaven, to build the tomb in Dulong Fu, is in line with the requirements of the feudal superstition.

Ming Xiaoling Mausoleum Yu Wu nine years (1376) began to build, build competent mausoleum engineering enterprises is "Dudu Fu Li xin.At that time, a large number of migrant workers were employed, and dozens of temples were left behind by their predecessors.Since the Eastern Jin Dynasty and the Southern Dynasties, Buddhism has been widely spread in China. The emperor of Wu even regards Buddhism as a national religion, so the temples in Nanjing are numerous.In the Eastern Jin Dynasty, there were more than 300 Buddhist temples, nearly 500 in the Southern Dynasties, and 100 thousand monks.His poetry in the Tang Dynasty: "in the four hundred and eighty temple, how many loutai yanyu."It was the portrayal of the flourishing Buddhist temples in Nanjing.In addition to moving to the temple, even moved a lot of previous tombs.But when moving to the Three Kingdoms, the tomb of Sun Quan (now on Mount Mei Shan in Nanjing), Zhu Yuanjin said, "Sun Quan is a true man, keeping him as a gatekeeper."."It was not removed.Hongwu fifteen years (1382), the first phase of the project completed, coincided with the empress Mas death, Zhu Yuanjin held a grand funeral for her, and the coffin burial tomb, called her "Xiaoci Queen", which is also the name of the tomb.In 1383, the main project of the tomb built hall.In 1392, the crown prince ZhuBiao died and was buried in the tomb of the East, called dongling.Hongwu thirty-one years (1398) built "Ming Tomb magic holiness monument", the construction of the mausoleum engineering ended, the project took 23 years.Before the death of Zhu Yuanjin, had left a testament; "funeral to frugality, no Jin, change because of the tomb and the world, three subjects are released, as marriage."This is obviously Zhu Yuanzhangs trick of buying peoples hearts.The whole Ming Xiaoling Mausoleum building, Xiaolingwei East, South to West Fang Weigang dismount, the walls of the city, north of Longgang only halfway up the mountain, a radius of more than 20 km, is a grand scale.In the long 23 years of construction, depletion of the flesh and blood of the people.At that time, there were ten thousand trees planted in the tomb area, thousands of deer kept and 5700 guards.Its wide range, large scale, before the Ming Dynasty is rare.But Zhu Yuanjin was buried, there are 40 concubines to bury, in which 2 people were buried in the tomb of the East and west sides, 38 people from the buried in the tomb.This China exposed the feudal ruling class was cruel, they not only to enjoy the splendor rich, after death still "death", the burial, at the people life.

正果佛岩是增城八景之一，今天我们参观的景点是名扬四海，饮誉九州的正果佛爷寺。宾公佛法力无边，但凡有求者，感应灵异，皆有明徵。希望大家在参观过程中都得到佛光庇佑。

现在先向大家介绍一下余宾公生平事迹。余宾公，增城金牛都香浦塘(今正果镇番丰)人，出生于宋景祐二年(1003年)，出生时跪地双掌合什，朝天礼拜。及长为避瘟疫迁到今成佛岩(距寺约三公里处瑞山)山下，给人放牛，八岁到名山寺出家，苦练修行，功德圆满，修成正果，得道成佛。当地绅民称其为"牛仔佛"、"宾公佛"。金牛都因宾公坐地成佛，得道升天，以成正果，改名为正果墟。当时名流彭序

曾写下楹联"正是敕封昭显佛，果然圣寿得施神。"为纪念宾佛，乡民将其真身塑像建寺祀之，每年农历五月初九定为佛爷诞，并举行龙船会、成佛岩洗浴日等活动，形成一套独具特色的民俗风情。

宾公生佛，圣迹昭彰，功德及民。传说明朝一位黄家媳妇带着小儿跟随乡亲去拜牛仔佛，船行至半路，突然狂风骤起，将小孩卷入江中。黄家媳妇伤心至极，到了正果寺，在宾公佛面前连求三签，都是上上签，说小孩已在佛爷护送下，平安回到家了。黄家媳妇半信半疑，回到家中，果见小儿躺在床上安然入睡，不禁喜上眉梢，大感宾公佛法力无边。光绪三年，洪水泛滥成灾，堤围岌岌可危，乡民祈宾公佛庇佑，宾公大显神通，化身乡民率打宾公旗帜，抢险救堤，洪水顿时消退，转危为安。宾公屡昭圣异，乡民感恩，所以寺院塑造三尊行佛，每逢佛爷诞或流行灾疫，均接宾公行佛巡乡，以求镇妖驱邪。

正果寺历史悠久，自宾公开座以来，历祀宋、元、明等朝代，乃至民国，相沿至今，超过九百年。慕名前来瞻仰宾佛的名人有：南宋抗元名将文天祥、陆秀夫、明朝海瑞、国父孙中山、国民党总裁蒋介石以及我们敬爱的朱德委员长等。由此可见宾公生佛誉满神州。

俗话说得好，没到故宫等于没到北京。今年暑假我来到了北京，游玩了故宫。故宫，又称紫禁城，它是世界上保存最好的古建筑群。它的历史悠久，始健于明永乐年间。现在大部分文物保存完好。它的存在表现了古代人民的勤劳和无限高尚的智慧。也集中体现了当时建筑业，雕刻业，运输业的无限发达。

今年暑假，我怀着高兴的心情去游故宫，游完故宫我有一个体会，游故宫就等于看房子。相传，故宫有一万间房子。经过几百年的变迁，故宫中有些房子由于没得到修缮，早已不复存在了。现在存在的房子只有八千多间了。这些房子以天安门，端门，午门等门为中心轴，轴中是许多大殿。大殿两边是东西宫。可见，故宫是非常磅大的。

老祖宗留下来的故宫，现已成为世界文物重点保护单位。国家已把它设为旅游区。许多国内外游客都来此参观。看完故宫，脑袋里回荡着两个字——皇权!

各位游客，我们现在来到了万寿园。

万寿园大门是朱红的宫墙。长有20__多米，上面有蓝色的琉璃瓦，这些琉璃瓦因为可以反光，所以被太阳照的闪闪发亮，美丽极了!像一个皇家园林。万寿园大门旁有一幅对联上联是“西连巫峡路悠悠，"下联是“东至武昌云历历。”表达了沙市的地理位置。

进入万寿园，我们来到长廊旁。“她”有20__多米长，70多间房。每间房的边上都栽有各种各样的花木。大家看一看横梁上的画吧，如果仔细看这些画，就会发现没有相同的画吧?大家闻着花的清香和长江边吹来的微风，是否觉得到了人间天堂呢?

穿过长廊，我们来到了万寿园宝塔脚下。万寿宝塔有7层，其中有一层被围在了长江大堤下。宝塔每层有两尊佛像，有的闭目养神、有的慈眉善目、有的笑容可掬、有的念经颂佛。据说这宝塔是明朝嘉靖皇帝为了庆祝母亲六十大寿修建的，所以称作万寿宝塔。

希望大家喜欢万寿宝塔，有机会再来万寿宝塔!万寿宝塔是中国的，也是人类的!希望大家不要损坏，要爱护“她”!

我的家乡在西安。西安有许多名胜古迹，最令我难以忘怀的要数华山了。

华山是五岳之一，它非常雄伟奇险，在古代就有“华山天下险”的说法了。从远处看，它那高耸的身躯拔地而起，直入云霄，山峰就像刀削般险峻。走近一点，抬头仰望，华山像巨人似的，一眼望不到顶!我不由得想起小时候背的诗句：只有天在上，更无与山齐。

我们走进华山去看一看吧!里面的风景真是妙不可言。瞧，树木成片成片的，树枝上的绿叶密密层层的，像是一顶大凉棚。山上还有许多形状各异的石头，这些石头坚硬无比。大自然的鬼斧神工让这些巨石成了栩栩如生的大象、老虎、神龟……

顺着陡峭的“天梯”终于爬到了山顶。只见蓝蓝的天空照着辽阔的大地，远处的山峰连绵起伏，云雾缭绕，仿佛置身在仙境中。真是“举头红日近，回首白云低”呀!

湖北三峡英文导游词

Good morning, ladies and Gentlemen, Welcome to China! Welcome to Hubei Province!

Today I am very pleased to show you Three Gorges of Yangtze River.

At first I’ll have a brief introduction of Yangtze River, the Yangtze River, the biggest river in China, the third longest in the World, starts with the Tuotuo River at the Roof of the World -Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, takes in countless rivers, and flows eastward across the interior of China. With an overall length of more than 6,300 kilometers, the Yangtze River, next only to the Amazon and the Nile, is the third biggest river in the world and is a cradle that breeds the ancient civilization of the Chinese nation.

When the Yangtze River reaches the eastern Sichuan Basin in southwest China, it cuts through the Wushan Mountain. Here the river course suddenly narrows and the waters become turbulent. Sheer cliffs and steep mountains rise on either side, creating one of natures most fantastic sights. The Three Gorges---Qutang, wuxia and xiling----start just after Fengjie and end near Yichang, stretch about 200 kilometers. The Gorges vary from 300metres at their widest to less than 100 meters at their narrowest.

Qutang Gorge is the smallest and shortest Gorge, but grandest of the three. The Yangtze River, mighty and rapid here is suddenly contained like a thousand seas poured into one cup, as the Song Dynasty poet SU Tungpo described the spectacle. High on the both bank, at a place called Bellows Gorge, are a series of crevices. This area is said to have been the home of an ancient tribe whose custom was to place the coffins of their crevices, some containing bronze swords, armour and other artifacts, but the coffins are believed to date back as far as the Warring States Period (475bc----221BC)

Wu Gorge extends 40 kilometers along which the river snakes between based strange-shaped mountain peaks, each of which has a reputation based on a beautiful legend. The story of the 12 Peaks of Wushan goes like this: 12 nymphs once descended to enjoy themselves in the secular world. Finding how perilous Wushan Gorge was, they decided to stay there to protect ships. As time went by, they transformed themselves into 12 peaks. The Goddess Peak, the most graceful of the 12, is said to have been yaoji, the youngest daughter of the Queen mother of the Western Heaven .Goddess Peak stands out from the other peaks on the northern bank to be the first to greet the morning sun and the last to bid it farewell, hence its another name, Viewing the glow Peak. Seen at a distance, it resembles the silhouette of a beautiful young lady.

Down stream from the zigzagging Wuxia Gorge is Xiling Gorge which stretches 78 kilometers eastward and the cliffs on either side rise to just over 900 meters. Xiling Gorge is awesome with its dangerous rapids, shoals, reefs, sharp turns, billowy whirlpools. The water at one point is so turbulent that it seems to be boiling during the flood season. Xiling Gorge in the east consists of several small gorges. On the top of another is a rock that looks like a sword. On the crag of the north bank are two pieces of brown rock, which are named Bulls Liver and Horse Lung, whose shape they take. Next does the Lantern Shadow Gorge, which has four rocks, resemble Monk Xuan Zang and his three disciples---Monkey, Piggy and Sandy in the classic Chinese adventures of the four on their way to India to obtain Buddhist scriptures.

Around the last bend of Xiling Gorge stretches a vast plain. The river suddenly becomes wide here. Travelers on the Yangtze cruise may also visit many sites of historical and scenic interest along the river banks including the ruined of baidi Town and Precious Stone Village.

Everyone knows that the Yangtze Gorges are changing since the well-known Three Gorges Dam Project is being built at Sabdouping, Yichang, Hubei Province. The dam is 181 meters in height. Its construction investment comes up to 203.9 billion rmb, equals to 24.65 billion U.S. dollars. The installed power generation capacity is expected to be 18.2 million kilo watts. With the dam built, the flood in the Yangtze River valley will be controlled, navigation improved besides the economic benefits. Tourism will be little affected. Many cultural and historical relics are now being removed to a higher ground before the rise of the water level approaches.

Ladies and Gentlemen, the time has gone very quickly and your trip is drawing to a close. It’s a pity that you cannot stay here any longer. Please allow me, then, take this opportunity to thank you for your cooperation and understanding, and if you come back in the future, I hope to see you again and be your guide again.

北京故宫英文导游词

(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.

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.

This hall was also used for mourning services.

(Inside the Palace of Union and Peace)

this hall sits between the Hall of heavenly Purity and the Palace of Earthly Tranquility, symbolizing the union of heaven and earth ,as well as national peace .It was first built in 1420 and reconstructed in 1798. The hall is square in shape ,and is smaller than the Hall of complete Harmony .You will see a plaque here inscribed with two Chinese characters, wu wei, which were handwritten by Emperor Qianglong. A throne sits in the middle of the hall with a screen behind it .Above the throne there hangs a caisson ,or covered ceiling. The emperor held birthday celebrations and other major events here.

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

(Inside the palace of earthly tranquility)

This used to be the central hall where successive Ming empresses lived. During the Qing dynasty, it was converted into a place where sacrifices and wedding ceremonies were held .The room on the western side was used for sacrifices and the room on the east was the seeding chamber.

Route C

Ladies and Gentlemen:

You have seen the three main halls of the Forbidden City. Now I` d like to show you around scenes of interest along the eastern route. The first is the Treasure Hall. This mansion is called the Hall of Imperial Zenith. This is where Sing Emperor Quailing lived after abdication. Nearly 1,000 artifacts and treasures are on display here, among which the Golden Hair Tower is one of the most famous. This tower is 1.53meters in height and its base is 0.53 meters in circumference .It was built under the order of Emperor Quailing to be used to collect fallen hair in commemoration of his mother. There is also a “Day harnessing Water Jade Hill ” on display here. Yu was a legendary monarch of the remote Ixia dynasty. Under his leadership, the people learned how to harness the Yellow River. This jade assemblage, 224 centimeters in height and 5 tons in weight, is the largest jade artwork in China. This mat was woven with peeled ivory. These artifacts are among China` s rarest treasures.

(In front of the Nine-Dragon Screen)

this is the Nine-Dragon Relief Screen .Erected in 1773,it is 3.5 meters in height and 29.4 meters in width. Underneath is a foundation made of marble .The surface of the screen is laid with a total of 270 colored, glazed tiles in the design of 9 dragons ,some rocky mountains ,clouds and the sea. It was meant to ward off evil spirits The ancient Chinese regarded 9 dragons, some rocky mountains, clouds and the sea. It was meant to ward off evil spirits .The ancient Chinese regarded 9 as the largest numeral and the dragon as a auspicious beast .The 9 dragons are different in color and posture and all are made of glazed tiles. Interestingly a piece of the third dragon from the left is made of wood. It is believe that when the Nine-dragon Screen was almost finished ,a piece of glazed tile was damaged .Emperor Qianlong was scheduled to inspect the work the following day .Using quick wits, the craftsman in question molded the missing piece with clay and sailed through the imperial inspection. Later ,he asked a carpenter to carve a wooden one to replace the one made of clay.

(Approaching the Imperial Garden)

Behind the Palace of Earthly Tranquility and trading the north-south axis is the imperial Garden. There are old trees, rare flowers and exotic rock formation in this garden .It cover a space of 11,700 square meters, or roughly 1.7 percent of the Forbidden City. Most of the structures in the garden are symmetrically arranged . However, each is different in terms of parrern and decoration. Woods clumps of bamboo screen off the garden and strengthens its deep and serene atmosphere.

There main structure of the Imperial Garden is the Qin` an Hall. Positioned in the central-northern part of the garden ,this hall is flanked by other halls and pavilions on the east and west. The hall sits on a marble pedestal. The Taoist deity of Zhenwu is enshrined here and emperor would pay homage here a quarterly basis. Taoist rites were held during the reign of Emperor Jiajing of the Ming Dynasty. In front of the hall there is a cypress that is 400 years old .In all there are a dozen such rare trees in the garden, and most of them are cypresses or pines. To the northwest of the hall , there is the Yanhui(Sustaining Sunshine) Pavilion and to the northeast there lies the Duixiu (Accumulated Refinement )Hill. This Hill was built over the foundation of the long- pershed Guanhua (Admiring Flowers) Hall of the Ming Dynasty. It is 14 meters in height and made of al kinds of rocks quarried in jiang su province. At its base stand two nstone lions, each carrying a dragon shooting water 10 meters up into the air from its mouth. There are meandering paths leading to the hilltop. At the top of Duixiu Hill sits the Yujing (Imperial Viewing)Pavilion. Traditionally, On the day of the Double Ninth Festival (the ninth day of the ninth lunar month ), the emperor ,his consort, and his concubines would climb up to Yujing Pavilion to enjoy the scenery.

At the southeastern corner of the Garden is Jiangxue(Crimson Snowy) Verandah. Nearby to the southwest lies Yangxing Study (study of the cultivation of nature) .The yangxing study was used as a royal library during the reign of Emperor Qianlong of the Qing Dynasty. The last emperor of the Qing Dynasty, Puyi once studied English there. In front of the Jiangxue Verandah some Chinese flowering crabapples grow. The structure got its name from the crabapples who blossoms trun from crimson to snowy white. In front of the Verandah, there grows a rare flower that was brought from henna Province under the order of Empress dowager Cixi. In the northest is Chizao Tang (Hall of Using Flowery Language), once used as a library where rare books were stored.

There are also specific pavilions symbolizing the four seasons .The halls of Wanchun and Qianqiu ,representing spring and autumn respectively ,are square in shape and are coupled with multiple eaves and bell-shape and are coupled with multiple eaves and bell-shaped ridges. The halls of Chengrui and Fubi,dedecated to winter and summer, are characterized by two verandahs and bridges at their bases .Paths were paved with colorful pebbles and arranged in 900 different designs.

The Imperial Garden can be accessed through the Qiong yuan (Jade Garden )West gate or the qiong yuan east gate. A third gate, the shunzhen(Obedience and Fidelity)Gate, opens to the north. Its doors are laid in glazed tiles and it was only used by the empress or concubines.

As our tour of the Forbidden City draws to a close, I hope that I have helped you understand why the Palace is a treasure of China and one of the cultural relics of the world. It is under the strict protection of the Chinese government. Since 1949 when the people` s Rupublic of China was founded, nearly one trillion RMB was spent on its restoration and refurbishment. The Forbidden City has undergone four major facelifts to date. Each year, the government earmarks a large sum to gather, sort and study cultural relics. The Palace now contains a total of 930,000cultural relics. Well, so much for today .Let` s go to reboard the coach. Thank you !
