故宫的导游词作文(汇集20篇)

故宫又称紫禁城，是明清两代的皇宫，堪称当今世界上无与伦比的建筑杰作。很多人慕名来到故宫，就是为了欣赏中国古代建筑的辉煌与帝王的奢华。

故宫始建于1420xx年，1420xx年竣工。这片堪称世界最宏伟的宫殿建筑群，南北长961米，东西宽753米，建筑面积有15.5万平方米，内有大小院落九十多座，房屋980间。都是用上等木材、琉璃瓦顶、青白的石座与各种金碧辉煌的彩画交相辉映，尽显出故宫的富贵荣华。故宫很大，它的庞大往往超出了人们的想象范畴。东华门，午门、西华门、神武门分守故宫东南西北4个方向。故宫内部可分为“外朝“与“内廷“两部分。外朝以太宫、交泰殿、坤宁宫为中心，是皇帝与后妃的住所。后人不远千里迢迢来到这座红色城池前瞻仰、游览、触摸、感怀!

各位朋友，穿过午门，现在我们已经进入故宫。故宫中这第一进院落就是太和门广场。首先我们看到是内金水河，它自西向东蜿蜒流过太和门广场，上边有五座汉白玉石桥，就是内金水桥。它们象征五德，即仁、义、礼、智、信，是皇帝集美好的品质为一身的意思。金水桥下是内金水河，内金水河从紫禁城西北角筒子河涵道引入紫禁城，沿紫禁城内西侧南流，至武英殿东向，经武英殿门前，再东经涵道至太和门前。又经涵道东出至文渊阁前水池，从文渊阁东出经三座门前石桥，最后流入午门东侧筒子河，全长2100米。内金水河的作用不仅是故宫中排水的主要通道，也是宫中营造用水和灭火的主要水源，同时还起到了分隔空间、点缀景观的作用，使太和门广场在雄浑中不失秀美。

跨过金水桥，这片广场曾经是明代皇帝御门听政时百官待驾的地方。何谓“御门听政”呢?这“御门”即指太和门，即前朝的正门，初建于明永乐年间，当时叫奉天门，明嘉靖年间改称皇极门，清顺治年后改称太和门。“听政”是指听取政事。明永乐皇帝朱棣迁都北京不到百日，三大殿被大火烧毁，朱棣曾在此御门听政，处理国家朝政。清朝人关后，清世祖福临的登基典礼、加封多尔衮为叔父摄政王、封吴三桂为平西王等活动都是在太和门举行的。

太和门东庑中间的门叫协和门，西庑中间的门叫熙和门。太和门、协和门、熙和门加上前朝三大殿的太和殿、中和殿、保和殿称为“六和”。在太和门两旁还有两道门，分别为昭德门和贞度门。

过了太和门我们就来到了故宫中最重要的院落——太和殿及其广场。太和殿广场基本呈正方形，整个院落平坦宽阔，气势非凡。中间御路铺以青石，两侧青砖墁地。北有太和殿，南为太和门，东为体仁阁，西为弘义阁，面积约3万平方米，是整座紫禁城面积的1/24。整个广场可容纳近7万人。在每年的元旦、冬至以及皇帝登基、大婚、万寿这些重大活动的时候，都要在太和殿以及太和殿广场举行隆重的大朝礼。

大家请看，远处正前方是一片汉白玉雕砌的三层高台基，呈“土”字形，俗称“三台”。台基高8.13米，台边缘高7.12米，三层台基间，分列着18尊鼎式香炉。在每一层基座的边缘都伸出很多小龙头，那些小龙的名字叫“螭”，是传说中一种没有角的龙，这些小龙头实际上是大殿的排水系统。如果仔细看会发现每个龙头的嘴里都有一个小孔，即喷水孔，三层基座之上共设小龙头1142个，每当下大雨的时候，雨水便从1142个龙头嘴里的小孔内排出，非常壮观，为宫中一景，被称为“千龙吐水”。三重台基承托着雄伟的三大殿，这就是故宫的中

心建筑——太和殿、中和殿、保和殿。其中太和殿位于“土”字形须弥座的南部，各位可以先在这里留个影，然后我们就去参观太和殿。好!现在我们面前这座高台上的宏伟建筑就是太和殿，也就是民间所说的“金銮宝殿”。太和殿是紫禁城的正殿，被视为皇权的象征。太和殿始建于明永乐年间，原名奉天殿，嘉靖年间重建后改称皇极殿。清初顺治年间改称太和殿，康熙年间又两次大规模改造，才有今天我们看到的太和殿的规模。“太和”二字出自《周易·乾·彖辞传》中的“乾道变化，各正性命，保合大和乃利贞。”“太”即大，“和”即和谐。意思是在天道的主宰下，阴阳和合，太和元气常运不息，万物和谐共存。太和殿面阔11间，进深5间，殿高35.05米，面积约2377平方米。它是紫禁城乃至全国现存的最高、最大、最尊贵的宫殿，也是现存的中国宫殿建筑中规模最大的一座。太和殿在明清两代是举行大朝礼的地方。每逢元旦、冬至、万寿，即皇帝生日这三大节及皇帝登基、大婚、命将出征、金殿传胪等重大活动都要在太和殿举行隆重的庆典。此外，冬至圜丘坛大祀、孟春圜丘坛常雩礼、孟春祁谷坛前一日，皇帝也都要在太和殿阅视祭祀祝版。大家请抬头看太和殿的屋顶，太和殿屋顶是采用古建筑中等级最高的重檐庑殿顶。屋顶正脊上两头的这两大琉璃构件叫大吻，吻上的龙形有镇火的意思。除了装饰性，它的实用功能是密合殿顶正脊和垂脊的交会处，以防风雨侵蚀。这两个大吻高3.4米，宽2.68米，重4.3吨，由13块琉璃构件组成，是现存古建中最大的吻。太和殿殿顶四面坡的筒子瓦上镶有琉璃帽钉两排，垂脊上还有10个垂脊兽，分别是龙、凤、狮、海马、天马、押鱼、狻猊、獬豸、斗牛、行什，脊兽前是骑凤仙人。脊兽和帽钉既有装饰性又有实用性，它们起着固定屋顶琉璃瓦的作用。在我国古代，脊兽的数量依照建筑物的等级高低而不同，数量越多，代表了殿宇等级越高。太和殿的脊兽共有10只，全国只有故宫的太和殿是这样。此外，太和殿装饰用的彩绘也是最高等级的金龙和玺。

现在请大家跟随我一起登上高台来看看太和殿的内部陈设。太和殿由72根巨柱支撑，其中66根大红漆柱分布两侧，6根沥粉贴金蟠龙金柱分列宝座两旁。大殿内的地上是“金砖漫地”，这种金砖主要产于江苏省苏州，是专门为皇宫烧造的细料方砖。之所以叫金砖，是因为这种砖烧制时间130天，质地细密，敲之有金石之声。太和殿内的主要陈设是皇帝的宝座。宝座位于二米高的须弥式地平床上，通体雕以金龙，椅子后面是雕龙金漆的七扇屏风。金銮宝座是明代的遗物，清朝的皇帝继续使用。在袁世凯复辟的时候，曾经将它换成了一个西式靠背坐椅。解放以后，专家们在库房内发现了宝座的残件，经过一年多的研究整修，终于恢复了宝座原貌。

现在请大家抬头看，宝座的上方是蟠龙藻井，上圆下方，深1.8米，由上、中、下三部分组成，最下层是方井，中层为八角形，上部为圆形。井内蟠龙俯首向下，龙口衔一个铜胎中空的水银球。这个球被称为轩辕镜，寓意下面宝座上的皇帝是轩辕黄帝的正统继承人。藻井的设置一方面是烘托帝王的尊严，另一方面还有镇火的含义。

好，再来看宝座前方，大家可以看到宝座前设有脚踏、香筒、角端、仙鹤、宝象等。香筒是皇帝上朝的时候用于放置檀香的，通过燃烧着的袅袅的香烟，烘托出一种神秘的气氛。再来看象，身上驼着宝瓶，里面放有五谷，寓意天下太平，吉庆有余。而象身四脚立地，稳如泰山，则象征社会和政权的稳固，称为太平有象。角端，是传说中的一种神兽，象征着当今皇帝是圣明之君。仙鹤被古人看作是一种长寿鸟，象征着江山长存。

看完了太和殿内景，现在，让我们转过头来再来看看殿外的陈设。在太和殿外的露台上左右各有一只龙头乌龟和一只铜鹤。龟鹤都是祥瑞长寿的动物，摆在这里有千秋万代的含义。再仔细观察一下，大家可能会发现，龟鹤实际上是香炉，龟鹤背上有一块可以开启的盖子，里面可以放香料，上大朝时燃香用，届时香烟从龟鹤口中逸出，烘托了一种神秘庄严的气氛。此外，在太和殿丹陛的东南角还设有日晷。日晷是我国古代的一种计时器，由晷盘和晷针组成，晷针从晷盘中心垂直穿过。自古以来，皇帝就有向天下颁布历书的责任，所以日晷的设置是国家的重器之一。太和殿西南角设有嘉量，是古代的标准量器，放置在这里象征国家的统一和强盛。这两件陈设象征皇帝在时间上和空间上都是公正无私的，对天下百姓都是坦诚、平等的。

此外，在太和殿外东西两侧还各有鎏金青铜太平缸两口，每口重约2吨。鎏金是一种金属加工工艺，据说这么大的太平缸需要用黄金100两。不幸的是，上面的黄金却被八国联军用军刀刮走了。现在我们还可以清晰地看到缸身上留下的刀刮痕迹。太平缸的主要用途是储水，以备日常洒扫庭院、防火之用。据记载明朝时有热水处太监在每年的小雪节令，便给缸加盖，缸座底下加铁屉，用来生火，以防止缸内的水结冰，清朝时也是如此。紫禁城内现在共有明清两朝遗留下来的铜质及铁质太平缸308口，其中鎏金铜缸18口。

以上就是太和殿的情况。我刚才说了，太和殿是举行大典的地方，在古代，举行各种大典都要选良辰吉时，那么皇帝在何处等待这历史性时刻的来临呢?就是太和殿后面的中和殿，那我们现在就去看看!

中和殿位于太和殿和保和殿之间，正处于“土”字形须弥座的中部。殿为方形，四角攒尖，鎏金宝顶。中和殿在明朝初年称为华盖殿，嘉靖年间改称中极殿，顺治年间改为中和殿。“中和”二字取自《礼记·中庸》“中也者，天下之大本也;和也者，天下之达道也。”体现了儒家中庸之道的思想。

在明清两代，凡遇到三大节举行庆典前，皇帝在赶赴太和殿之前，都要在中和殿稍作休息，接受内阁、内大臣、都察院、翰林院官员及侍卫人员的朝贺。如果遇到皇帝亲自参加方泽、太庙、社稷及历代帝王庙、先师孔子、朝日、夕月等重大祭典的时候，皇帝还要提前一天在中和殿阅览祝文以表示恭敬谨慎。每年仲春时节皇帝在去先农坛行耕礼时，也会亲自到中和殿阅览祝文，检查种子和农具。

过了中和殿，我们就来到了保和殿，它位于“土”字形须弥座的后部，为重檐歇山顶。明初永乐年间这里叫做谨身殿，嘉靖时改为建极殿，顺治年间改为中和殿。保和殿名称来源与太和殿相同，意思是统治者应该保持天人合一，维护万物的平衡。

保和殿在明清两代用途不同。明朝的时候，在举行册立大典的时候，皇帝都要在保和殿内更衣。在年底，还要在此宴请文武百官。在清朝时，每逢除夕，皇帝在这里举行宴会，宴请外藩王公。公主下嫁的宴请活动也在这里举行。到了乾隆皇帝以后，保和殿又多了一个用途，成为科举考试中殿试的地方。

大家随我往后走，大家看，在保和殿后的台阶上的这块石雕丹陛，是艾叶青石雕刻而成的，石雕四周都是卷草纹，下端是海水江牙纹，中央是飞云簇拥的九条蛟龙。制作非常精美，是难得的石雕珍品。这块丹陛石长16.57米，宽3.07米，厚1.7米，重达200多吨，这是紫禁城内最大的一块石雕丹陛，采自北京房山境内的大石窝。

好啦!故宫的前三殿讲解到此结束，现在请大家参观保和殿并稍作休息，我们10分钟后集合，谢谢大家!

各位朋友，欢迎大家来到沈阳，我是你们的导游，沈梦，大家能够叫我沈导游，也能够叫我梦导，我更喜欢你们加我梦导，好了，先简答给大家介绍一下，在繁华的沈阳古城中心，有一座巍峨庄严的清代宫殿建筑群。就是我们这天的目的地——沈阳故宫。

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

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

大政殿草创于1620_年，是处理国家政务和举行庆典活动的主要场所之一。接下来作为最早使用和最为重要的宫殿之一。许多重大历史事件都以大政殿为舞台上演。

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

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

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

凤凰楼为宴饮、议事之所，是当年沈阳城的最高建筑，诗称“欲穷千里目，更上一层楼”可谓十分贴切。登上凤凰楼俯瞰四周，万般景物尽收眼底，可饱览盛京全景，也可观赏日出。“凤楼晓日”是当年著名的盛京八景之一。

各位朋友：

今天我们将要游览的是一处独具特色的旅游景点，它位于北京城的中心，殿宇千门万户，楼阁巍峨庄严，红墙黄瓦，金碧辉煌，素有金色的宫殿之海的美称。您一定猜到了，这就是驰名中外的故宫博物院。

故宫是明、清两面三刀代的皇宫，在这里有明清两代24个帝王登基坐殿，统治中国长达500多年。故宫含金量颗璀璨的明珠镶嵌在北京城的中心，是全城风景最美的一处景观。故宫的西北面有湖光塔景的北海公园;西面是碧波粼粼的中南海;东面有著名的商业街王府井;北面的景山为故宫的屏障。站在景山万春亭上，可以俯瞰故宫的全貌。故宫南面是特殊意义的国门，即天安门广场，它是新中国的象征，第一面五星红旗在此冉冉升起。

故宫是世界著名的旅游景观，被世界教科文组织列为世界文化遗产，它闪烁着东方文明的光辉。

故宫南北长960米，东西宽750米，面积木2万平方米，其中建筑面积15万平方米，有房屋9000余间。很多人都听说故宫有房9999间半的传说，这是因为按《易经〉中讲九是阳极之数，发九为尊，故宫是皇帝的住处自然要作到头了。故宫四周有高10米的城墙。城有四门，南面是正门午门，北为神武门，东有东华门，西有西华门。四角各有一座结构精巧别致的被称作“九梁十八柱七十二条脊“的角楼。城外有长3800米，宽52米的护城河，使故宫自成防御体系，有城中之城的美称。而其护城河长度，也已列入世界之最。

故宫从明代开始作为统治中心，但它的初建者却不是明朝开国皇帝朱元璋而是他的四儿子明成祖朱棣。故宫建在北京城南起永定门北至鼓楼长16华里的中轴线上，南北为主，左右对称，建造中遵循《周礼。考工记》中“前朝后室，左祖右社”的建造原则。故宫在建造手法上突出皇权，其基本做法是突出以前三殿和后三宫为主的中轴线，其他建筑拱卫中央。故宫的建造可以说是集全国的人力物力，木材砖瓦取自全国各地，耗费极其巨大。宫殿内墁地的砖被称作“金砖”，制作工艺极为复杂，从取土到成泥要6道工序，到成砖则需17道工序，最后还要把砖放到桐油里浸泡处理。这种砖铺在地上越磨越亮，由于制作复杂，价格昂贵，在当时一砖合一石米。年以有“金砖”之称。可以说故宫每座宫殿都浸透着人民的血汗它集中体现了我国古代建筑艺术的优秀传统和独特风格，充分反映了我国劳动人民的高度智慧和创造才能。故宫是我国保存到现在最完整，最辉煌的一组皇家建筑群，而今成为著名的旅游景点。

现在展现在我们眼前的这座红墙黄瓦，飞檐宏丽的建筑就是故宫的正门——午门。它平面呈“凹“形，上有崇楼五座，正楼是9开间的重檐庑殿顶大殿，东西是四座重檐四角攒尖顶方形亭楼，各以廊庑相连，辅翼正楼。整个建筑气势巍峨，充分体现了皇帝的威严。午门全部建筑，高下错落，左右映对，势若朱鸟展翅，翱翔天空，故又常被人称作五凤楼。正楼设有宝座，左右设有钟鼓楼，过去皇帝在太和殿举行大典时，钟鼓齐鸣，肃穆森严。

一提起午门，常令人想起“推出午门斩首示众”这句话。其实午门前并未斩过人。因为明朝行刑在西市9今西四)，清代在菜市口，但在这里却打死过人。明代有一种罚刑——廷杖，就在午门下举行。如果大臣触怒皇帝就要被批“逆鳞”。被子批“逆鳞”的大臣被子打掉乌纱帽穿上囚衣推出午门，行刑就在这御路东侧。起初只是象征性的打，主要在于对大臣的羞辱，但到后来则打人至死。正德十四年正德皇帝朱厚照要到江南选美，群臣阻谏。荒淫无度的正德皇帝不但不听，还将舒芬，黄巩等130位大臣廷仗，打死11人。这听起来确实非常残忍，不过要到传统佳节元宵节，这晨却是另一番景象，悬灯结彩赐宴百官，喜气洋洋。

进入午门就开始了宫内的游览，您看前面的河叫金水河，上面五座汉白玉石桥叫内金水桥。五座桥各有用处：正中的叫御路桥，供皇帝走，望宗室亲王走;再外面是品级桥，供文武大臣走。引金水河流过这里，除美观外还有防火作用。一方面故宫内多是木建筑，一旦失火可以用河水扑救;另一方面与我国的五行说相关，南方属火故以水克之，这种例子很多，讲解中将随时介绍给大家。由此可见，故宫不仅是集建筑艺术之大成，也是集中国传统文化之大成。前面这座门叫太和门，门前这对铜狮您能猜出雌雄吗?您猜得不错，东面的是雄狮，前脚踩一绣球，象征权力也象征统一寰宇;西面是雌狮，前脚抚弄一小乳狮，象征子嗣昌盛。门旁所立的图是故宫平面图。大家请看，故宫是由前朝和内廷两部分组成的，前朝以三大殿为主，是皇帝发布政令和举行大典的地方。三大殿后是内廷，有乾清宫，交泰殿，坤宁宫，御花园及东西六宫等，这里是皇帝处理政务，居住享乐的地方。现在故宫的陈列体系分宫廷历史遗迹陈列，东六宫，外东路及三大殿两庑等为古代文化艺术陈列。在故宫这座艺术宝库中收藏有近百万件珍贵文物，占全国700座博物馆藏品总数的六分之一，成为驰名中外的最大的博物馆。这里闪烁着中华民族5000年文化艺术的光辉。昔日的皇宫禁地今天成为人们参观游览的旅游名胜。

现在展现在我们面前的就是规模宏大，气宇轩昂的三大殿。大殿坐落在三层汉白玉石台基上。中国建筑主体是木结构，受材料限制，本身不可能很高，聪明的古代人民采用高大的石台基将大殿托起以增强气势。大家还注意到如此大的广场前没有一棵树，其原因也是为烘托三大殿的高大，故意制造一开阔的空间;另一个原因就是五行相克的体现，金木水土火五行学说中，土居中，树为木，而木克土，如果种树恐怕不利于中央统治。古人在建造故宫时可谓用心良苦。殿前三层汉白玉台阶上有铜鼎18个。露台上分列两旁的铜龟铜鹤寓意龟鹤延年。东面的日晷是古代的计时器，西面的嘉量是中国古代的标准量器，放在这里象征皇帝公正平允。殿前左右各有一对镏金铜缸，是清乾隆年间铸造成的，每缸重约2吨，也称门海，放在这里用于防火，取意缸置于土上，土生金，缸中贮水，金生水，而以水克火。正中的大殿是太和殿，就是人们常说的金銮宝殿。明朝叫奉天殿，皇极殿，清顺治二年改叫太和殿。大殿面宽11间约64米，进深5间约38米，高26。92米，加上台基高度，通高35。03米，大殿面积2377平方米，是我国现存最大的木结构建筑物。殿内宝座四周的6根大柱为蟠龙金漆大柱，金光灿灿，因为这里是宫内最神圣的地方，所以殿顶，彩绘等都采用官式建筑中最高等级。殿内金漆大柱当中就是皇帝的宝座。设在地平床上。宝座左右有对称的形容词象，仙鹤，香筒等陈设，这些都是铜胎嵌丝珐琅制品。座旁有孔雀做的扇。各位抬头请看，宝座上方是金漆蟠龙藻井，藻井为覆斗式，井中有盘龙，龙头下的圆球叫轩辕镜。相传轩辕镜为轩辕氏黄帝所造，将它悬于宝座上象征江山正统，但现在宝座与轩辕镜并不上下相对，据说是复辟皇帝袁世凯登上宝座，抬头见轩辕镜悬在头顶，怕球掉下来将他砸死，于是将宝座后移。轩辕镜下紫宸台上就是楠木金漆雕龙宝座，它是皇权的象征。太和殿内外装饰壮丽豪华，但皇帝并不是天天在这里，只有元旦，冬至，万寿节(皇帝生日)及重大庆典如册立皇后，派大将出征等日子，才来此登临宝座以示尊严。

转过太和殿，眼前这座单檐四角攒尖镏金宝顶的方形殿宇叫中和殿，明朝叫华盖殿，中极殿，顺治二年改名中和殿。大殿深广均为5间，长宽均为24。15米。皇帝到太和殿举行大典前，先在此小憩，接受内阁大臣等官员朝拜，然后再去太和殿。皇帝到天，地，日，月坛，祭祀的前一天要来此看祭文，到农家坛亲耕要先来此阅视种子，农具。清朝皇帝每10年修一次玉牒，要在此举行隆重的仪式，殿内陈列着乾隆年间的两顶肩舆，就是轿，也就是人们俗称的八抬大轿。中和殿后是保各殿，面宽9间，进兴5间。它的功用有很多，其中最值得一提的是就是殿试。这是封建科举制度中最高一级考试。被录取的进进士，前三名称鼎甲三元即状元，榜眼，探花，其他称“进士出身”或“同进士出身”能参加殿试是很不容易的，要经过童试，乡试，会试三级考试录取后才是殿试。如果一个文人在各级考试中都是第一名叫连中三元，那是很了不起的事情。我国自随代开始的科举制度一直延续到本世纪，最后一次科举在1904年就是光绪三十年举行，最后一们状元叫刘春霖，自称是第一人中的最后一人。保和殿后位于丹陛御路上的大云龙石雕，是故宫内乃至全国最大的一块石雕塑，长16。57米，宽3。07米，厚1。7米。重约250吨。产自北京郊区房山。如此大的石板在当时没有现代机械设备情况下运输极为困难，当时人们采用在路上泼水冻冰用滚木等方法进行运输。

现在我们所在的这个东西横向的广场叫乾清门广场，它是前朝与内廷的分界地带。内廷是皇帝的居住区，这座门叫乾清门，清康熙皇帝曾在此御门听政。乾清门内就是总称后三宫的乾清宫，交泰殿，坤宁宫。乾清，坤宁象征天地乾坤。乾清宫东西两面的日精门，月华门象征日月。围墙外东西六宫象征十二星辰。后面众多建筑象征众星。这些象征日月星辰的建筑均拱卫皇帝居住的象征天的乾清宫，以显示一辈子受命于天皇帝尊严。这后宫就是民间所说的三宫六院七十二妃三千佳丽所居住的皇宫内院，现面我们到里面细看。

乾清门内的这第一座大殿就是乾清宫，面宽9间，是皇帝的寝宫和日常活动的地方，一直到雍正皇帝以后才将寝宫移到养心殿。这儿是皇帝的寝宫，也是夺权斗争最激烈的地方，明代的壬寅宫变，红丸案，移宫案等宫闱大案都有发生在此。各位抬头请看宫内高悬的“正大光明”匾就是宫内斗争的产物。匾后是藏秘密立储匣的地方。有人说正大光明匾一点也不正大光明，就是因为雍正皇帝上台后有传闻，说他是串通隆科多等人篡改遗诏当皇帝的。此事真假不用深考，不过秘密立储确是由雍正朝开始。雍正上台后深感其父康熙皇帝在立储问题上几废几立，造成诸皇子明争暗斗朝臣互相倾轧，对中央统治不利，于是改为秘密方式立储。方法是事先写两份遗诏，一份带在身上，一份藏于“正大光明”匾后，皇帝晏驾后，将两份遗诏校对后再宣布继位者。乾隆等皇帝都是这样继位的。

乾清宫后是交泰国殿，它的形制与中和殿相同，这里是皇后在冬至，元旦，千秋节受贺的地方。现在这里存有玉玺25块，放置25块的寓意是从《周易》“天数二十有五”之说而来的，而且1。3。5。7。9这五个阳数之各也是25，殿内高悬的“无为”二是康熙亲笔所写，取意“无为而治”。殿内的内宫不可干政的铁牌也是康熙皇帝鉴于明亡的教训而立的，只可惜到清末依然出了安德海，李莲英等太监弄权误国。交泰殿后的坤宁宫原来是皇后的寝宫，后来皇帝移居养心殿，皇后移居体顺堂，这里成为祭神的地方。请大家到东面来，透过玻璃可以看到东暖阁内有龙凤喜床，床有有象征多子多福的百子帐，这里是皇帝大婚的洞房，一派喜气景象。

出坤宁宫我们现在来到御花园，这里是皇帝皇后休息游玩的地方。当中的大殿叫钦安殿，这是宫内惟一的道教建筑。道貌岸然家认为北方属水，所驼个殿内供的是道貌岸然教北方之神玄武大帝。这座御花园面积1。2万平方米，东西130米，南北90多米，以主建筑欠安殿为中心，左右对称，前后呼应，分布着10余座亭台楼阁曲池水榭。位于园子四角的象征春夏秋冬的万春亭，浮碧亭，千秋亭，澄瑞亭，同是亭子但形态各异还有收藏《四库全书荟要》的离藻堂，堆秀山上的御景亭等。其音点缀着苍松翠柏奇花异石，是皇家园林中的典范。规整中见变化：规整是指布局上四平八稳，变化指建筑风格变化多样，在一万多平方米范围内容纳十几种风格不同的建筑，各们倘佯其间才能细细品味。

我们现在走出的这座高大城门叫神武门，是故宫的后门，至此宫内的游览结束了，但是紫禁城的建筑并未结束，您看对面高43米的景山，它是紫禁城的屏障，与前面的金水河遥相呼应，构成中国建筑背山面水的传统格局，我们乘着游兴登上山项万春亭俯瞰故宫。看看这金碧辉煌的世界奇观。

(故宫午门前)

女士们、先生们：

紫禁城建在北京，是有其历史的，也因为这里是一块风水宝地，说起来话长。故宫从明永乐四年(1406)开始修建，用了14年的时间才基本建成，到今天已有570多年的历史。大家看到了，故宫是一级红墙黄瓦的建筑群，为什么这样呢?据道家阴阳五行学说认为，五行包括金，木，水，火，土，其中土占中央方位，因为华夏民族世代生息在黄土高原上，所以对黄色就产生了一种崇仰和依恋的感情，于是从唐朝起，黄色就成了代表皇家的色彩，其他人不得在服饰和建筑上使用。而红色，则寓意着美满，吉祥和富贵，正由于这些原因，故宫建筑的基本色调便采用了红，黄两种颜色。

我们眼前的建筑叫午门。午门是紫禁城的正门，俗称五凤楼。明代，每年正月十五，午门都要悬灯赐食百官。到了清代这种活动就取消了。每年农历十月初一，都要在这里举行颁布次年年历仪式，清代乾隆年间因避乾隆帝“弘历”的名字，故将“颁历”改称“颁朔”。清代，皇帝举行朝会或大祀，以及元旦，冬至，万寿，大婚等重大节日，都要在这里陈设卤簿，仪仗。此外，国家凡有征战凯旋时，皇帝在午门接受献俘典礼，如果皇帝亲征也从午门出驾。

关于“推出午门斩首”的说法，可能是由于戏剧午台上及野史小说敷衍而来的。实际上是明代朝廷命官犯罪，有的在午门廷杖，当然严重的可能也有被当场打死的。

(进午门后金水桥前)

现在我们已经到了故宫里面，在正式游览之前，我先介绍一下故宫的布局和参观路线。故宫占地72万多平方米，在这样大的面积上，集各种建筑手法，建造一组规模如此宏大的建筑群，不但没有纷杂现象，反而给人以结构严谨，色彩辉煌和布局规整的感觉，最主要的手段是建造中突出了一条极为明显的中轴红，这条中轴线和整座北京城有机地结为一体，北从钟楼，南至永定门，总长度约8公里，皇家禁区苑内的部分约占三分之一。宫内重要建筑都在这条中轴线上，其它建筑分东西对称分布。整个宫殿的设计和布局都表现了封建君主的“尊严”和对封建等级制度的森严。

故宫分外朝内廷。现在我们在外朝的最南端正，前面是太和门。门前有一对青铜狮子，威严，凶悍，成了门前桥头的守卫者，象征着权力与尊严。皇帝贵为天子，门前的狮子自然最精美，最高大了。东边立的为雄狮，前爪下有一只幼狮，象征皇权永存，千秋万代。我们眼前的这条小河，叫金水河，起装饰和防水之用。河上五座桥象征孔子所提倡的五德：仁、义、礼、智、信。整条河外观象支弓，中轴线就是箭，这表明皇帝受命于天，代天帝治理国家。

“各位先生、女士们，大家好!我姓关名羽潇，是红星闪闪旅行社的一位导游。首先预祝大家旅途愉快!好，现在大家看我身后的那扇朱红的大门就是故宫的正门了。故宫处在北京市城区中心是明清两代的皇宫，也是当今世界现存规模最大、建筑最雄伟、保存最完整的古代皇家宫殿，好了现在已经到了停车场，先介绍到这儿请大家下车吧!”

各位请看!这便是故宫的正大门午门。它建成于1420年，它的名字是用来斩头的吗?其实它还有一个作用就是在士兵出征之前，军官们也就是现在的‘领导’在这儿诸如鼓舞士气并下达命令之类的……，好!那我们就到故宫里面吧。

各位朋友，在我们眼前的就是闻名中外的三大殿：太和殿、中和殿、保和殿。先来看看太和殿，它高有33米，从东至西长有64米，从南至北宽有33米，面积为2377平方米。太和殿是在皇帝上早朝和举行盛大典礼的地方，它的规模为紫禁城内大殿第一，正背上的吻兽的体积也是我国目前最大的。总而言之，处处显示它的“第一”的思想体现。看完了太和殿让我们一起去中和殿。中和殿是皇帝在大典前等待吉时、稍事休息的地方。下面请朋友们自由参观一下当时的国宴厅保和殿。十分钟后我带领大家游览最后一个景点：交泰殿。

大家休息够了吗?现在我们就去交泰殿，殿里有康熙皇帝的御笔，在北京只有两幅康熙帝的真迹，另一幅就在大贪官和?的家恭王府。请看，眼前这一座四角攒尖的建筑物就是交泰殿，我们走进去看一看吧，您们看到后墙扁额上有“无为”二字了吗?那就是康熙御笔，“无为”的意思并不是没有作为，而是希望后代能够以德治国，施以仁政，以图国家长治久安。作文

“好了，亲爱的游客朋友们，本次北京故宫之旅就圆满结束了。我希望各位若干年之后还能来找我，我一定为大家再次讲解，朋友再见。”我微笑地向游客们告别。

游客朋友们好!欢迎游览沈阳故宫。

沈阳故宫，是中国现存两座古代帝王宫殿之一，也是仅存的满族风格宫殿建筑群，具有很高的历史价值、文化价值和艺术价值。20xx年联合国教科文组织正式将沈阳故宫列入《世界遗产名录》。也是国家4A级景区、国家重点文物保护单位。

故宫，即旧时宫殿，沈阳故宫始建于后金天命十年。先后经过3次大规模建设，形成了东中西三路格局。其中东路为老罕王努尔哈赤进沈阳以后修建;中路为努尔哈赤的儿子清太宗皇太极继位以后兴建;西路则为清朝中期乾隆皇帝东巡和为了安放《四库全书》而修建。全部建筑70余座，300余间，组成20多组院落。作为我国现存保存最完好的两座宫殿之一，与北京故宫遥相呼应，却又有着与北京故宫截然不同的建筑风格和格局样式。那么我们今天就来领略一下昔日皇宫的风采。

沈阳故宫东路

东路建筑，主要有大政殿和十王亭。从建筑格局上看他们都是“亭子式”建筑，好像11座帐殿排列在广场中。这种建筑形式脱胎于女真等游牧民族中的帐殿制在皇宫建筑上的反应。其排列形式正是努尔哈赤崛起之初实行军政合一的八旗制度决定的。

大政殿

大政殿，俗称八角殿，又叫“大衙门”。外高18米是一座八角重檐攒尖顶“亭子式”建筑，下有约1.5米高的须弥座式台基，周围绕以青石围栏，上有各种精美雕刻。正门前两侧柱子上盘绕着一对栩栩如生的金龙。殿顶是黄琉璃瓦镶绿剪边，重檐上下各有8条五彩琉璃垂脊。殿顶正中为宝瓶火焰珠攒尖顶。8条垂脊上各站着一个蒙古力士，象征“八方归一”。

殿内有8根绘有云龙的巨柱支撑殿顶。中间是皇帝御用的九龙金漆宝座屏风。上方“泰交景运”匾额，为乾隆御笔。

大政殿作为17世纪初的建筑杰作，融汇了满、汉、蒙、藏等多民族建筑的艺术风格，是沈阳故宫的著名建筑。

十王亭

十王亭，又称“八旗亭”，在广场两侧呈八字形排列，每边5个。分别是左翼王亭、右翼王亭、正黄亭、正白亭、正红亭、正蓝亭、镶黄亭、镶白亭、镶红亭、镶蓝亭。左右翼王亭是当时左右两翼王爷办公的地方。八旗亭是八旗亭主办公的地方，也是在大政殿举行朝会和典礼时各旗官员集结之处。

沈阳故宫中路

中路共有三进院落，分别是大清门、崇政殿、凤凰楼、清宁宫依次排列在中轴线上，两侧还有一些对称的附属建筑。是满、汉等多民族传统建筑艺术的融合。

大清门

大清门，俗称午门，也就是沈阳故宫的正门，是无间硬山式建筑，式当时文武官员候朝的地方，也是皇太极接受群臣谢恩之处。

崇政殿

原名“正殿”，俗称“金銮殿”。是皇太极日常处理军政要务、接见外国使臣和少数民族的地方。崇政殿为无间九檩硬山式建筑，南北辟有槅扇口，前后出廊，围以石雕栏杆。

凤凰楼

它建在3.8米高的青砖台基上，是一座三层歇山式建筑，原名叫翔凤楼，是皇太极休息、宴会和读书之所。清入关后，曾用以存放帝王画像、行乐图及清初皇帝玉玺。凤凰楼正门上方悬挂的“紫气东来”金字横匾，是乾隆皇帝御笔，意思是大清朝福气是从东方盛京而来。

清宁宫

整个后宫建在高台之上，并高于前朝的宫殿。这种“宫高殿低”的特色反映了满族的传统和习惯。

清宁宫，原名“正宫”，为五间硬山前后廊式建筑，是沈阳故宫中最具满族住宅特色的建筑。东一间是皇太极和孝端文皇后博尔济吉特氏的寝宫，称“暖阁”;“暖阁”;寝宫分为南北两室，各有火炕，又称“龙床”。崇德八年(1643)皇太极就在南炕“无疾端坐而终”，终年52岁。东侧第二间的北窗下设两口大锅，南面宫门旁设一口锅，是祭祀时煮肉和烧炕用的。西侧三间通连，北、西、南三面搭成相连的环炕，称为“万字炕”，是帝后日常饮食起居及会见、宴请亲眷的厅堂。

沈阳故宫西路

沈阳故宫西路，是为了适应皇帝东巡的需要而增建的一组建筑，主要有文溯阁、戏台、嘉荫堂和仰熙斋等，套院相接，多而不乱，是文化气息较浓之处。

文溯阁

是仿照明代浙江宁波大藏书家范钦的“天一阁”修建的，专门收藏乾隆时期编撰的大型图书《四库全书》的地方。文溯阁是硬山式建筑，面阔6间，从外面看是重檐2层，从里面看则是3层，明显带有江南建筑风格的样式。与沈阳故宫内的其他建筑不同，文溯阁顶盖上用的是黑琉璃瓦绿剪边。这在沈阳故宫建筑中是独一无二的。根据五行八卦之说，黑是代表水，书最忌火，以黑瓦为顶象征以水克火之意。

各位游客朋友，今天的游览就到此结束了，谢谢大家!

“各位先生，各位女士，大家好，我是环球旅行社的一名导游，我姓覃，你们可以叫我覃导或小覃。今天由我来带领大家去故宫游玩。”

“故宫又称紫禁城，东西宽750米，南北长960米，面积达到72万平方米，差不多有一千五百多个篮球场那么大。故宫的城墙上有四个门，南边有午门，北边有神武门，东边有东华门，西边有西华门。”

“我们现在来到了太和殿，太和殿是故宫三大殿之首，建在五米高的汉白玉台基上，殿高36米，宽63米，面积2380平方米。大殿正中，两米高的台子上是金漆雕龙宝座，宝座背后是高雅的屏风。清明两代皇帝即位、诞辰以及春节、冬至等庆典均在此举行。”

“沿此继续前进，眼前的这座宫殿也是三大殿之一，它叫中和殿。该殿是一座单檐攒尖顶的方形殿。走廊列柱20根，黄琉璃瓦四攒尖顶，正中有鎏金宝顶。皇帝有事去太和殿前，先在此小憩，接受内阁、礼部及侍卫等朝拜。每逢各种大礼的前一天，皇帝也在此阅览奏章和祝辞。”

“这是保和殿，也是三大殿之一。清朝每年的除夕和元宵，皇帝在些宴请王公贵族和文武大臣，到乾隆年间，把三年一次的殿试由太和殿移到此处举行~~~~”

“好了，今天的故宫之行就愉快的结束了，祝大家玩得开心!”

祝旅途愉快。

各位游客：大家好。

我们此次游览的景点是世界文化遗产、国家4A级景区、国家重点文物保护单位——沈阳故宫。首先呢，我们一起来看一下沈阳故宫的平面图。沈阳故宫始建于公元1620_年。先后经过三次大规模建设，形成了东、中、西三路格局。东路建立于清太祖努尔哈赤时期，主要建筑是大政殿和十王庭;中路建于清太宗皇太极时期，主要的建筑是大清门、崇政殿、凤凰楼、清宁宫;

西路呢，建于清乾隆年间，主要建筑是戏台、嘉荫堂、文溯阁和仰熙斋，它因存放《四库全书》而闻名。那么作为我国现存最完好的两座古代帝王宫殿之一呢，沈阳故宫与北京故宫遥相呼应，却又有着截然不同的建筑风格。现在呢我们就来领略一下昔日皇宫的风采。首先我们看到的是中路建筑的大清门，它俗称午门，也就是沈阳故宫的正门。是当时文武群臣候朝的地方，也是清太宗皇太极接受群臣谢恩之处。那么这座门为什么叫做大清门呢?正统的说法是清朝的国号为清，

皇宫的正门就是国门，所以称为大清门。还有一个传说，这座木门呢在建成之后呢并没有名称，只是叫做大门。后来，皇太极改国号为大清，听说北京明朝皇宫的宫门叫大明门，于是为了体现针锋相对，就将此门命名为大清门。我们穿过大清门，现在正面的建筑就是崇政殿。崇政殿原名“正殿”，俗称金銮殿。崇德元年定名为崇政殿。它是皇太极日常处理军政要务、接见外国使臣和边疆少数民族代表的地方。

我们可以看到崇政殿为五间九檩硬山式建筑，殿顶铺黄琉璃瓦，镶绿剪边，那么请各位游客注意的是殿顶的琉璃瓦，有去过北京故宫的朋友一定会清楚地记得北京故宫的琉璃瓦是黄色的，而沈阳的琉璃瓦是黄色镶绿剪边。那么这是沈阳故宫与北京故宫的重要差别之一。我们走上月台。那么在月台两侧分别有用于计时的日晷，和用于存放标准计量单位的嘉量亭。我们看到在月台上呢还设有四口大缸，那么大家知道它们是做什么用的吗?那我告诉大家吧，他叫做“吉祥缸”古代称它是“门海”，是皇宫中重要的防火设施，象征缸中水多似海，可以镇火灾。我们走上须弥座。抬头看上方的牌匾是用满文和汉文书写的“崇政殿”。请游客看左边的满文，我们有个形象的比喻“中间一根棍，两边都是刺，加上圈和点，就是满文字儿”。

大家好!我是本次游览布达拉宫的导游。我会在全程中为大家进行详细的讲解，希望大家提出宝贵的建议与意见。

我今天为大家介绍的布达拉宫。它位于西藏自治区首府拉萨市西北郊区约两千米处的红山上，海拔3700多米，是西藏政治和宗教的中心。布达拉宫规模庞大，气势宏伟，享有“世界屋脊上的明珠”的美誉。

站在红山下，仰望布达拉宫，布达拉宫高高的耸立在红山上。它的主体结构以红宫为中心，白宫为两翼。布达拉宫建筑总面积13万余平方米，主楼高117米，看似13层，实际9层，是当今世界上海拔最高、规模最大的宫殿式建筑群。

走进白宫，是达x喇嘛的冬宫，也曾是原西藏地方政府的办事机构所在地，高七层。位于第四层中央的东有寂圆满大殿，是达x喇嘛坐床、亲政大典等重大宗教和政治活动场所。第五、六两层是办公和生活用房等。最高处第七层两套达x拉喇嘛冬季的起居宫，由于这里终日阳光普照，故称东、西日光殿。

布达拉宫内部绘有大量的壁画，构成一座巨大的绘画艺术长廊，参加壁画绘制的近有二百人，先后用去十余年时间。壁画的题材有西藏佛教发展的历史，五世x赖喇嘛生平，文成公主进藏的过程，西藏古代建筑形象和大量佛像，可谓精美别致。它还供奉有用藏、汉、满、蒙四中文字书写的康熙皇帝长命牌位和乾隆皇帝画轴，表现了历代x赖喇嘛同中央政府的隶属关系。

布达拉宫的景观还有很多很多值得大家欣赏，它是我国的重点历史文物，请大家在参观时不要随地吐痰，不随地扔垃圾，不乱写乱画，布达拉宫内还有一项规定是参观时不能照相，希望大家做好文明形象。

现在请大家去细细观赏。

故宫英文导游词

forbidden city(紫禁城)

(in front of the meridian gate)

ladies and gentlemen:

i am pleased to serve as your guide today.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

(after walking past the gate of supreme harmony)

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

(in front of the hall of complete harmony)

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

(in front of the hall f preserving harmony)

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

(behind the hall of preserving harmony)

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

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

route a

ladies and gentlemen:

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

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

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

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