故宫沿途导游词（汇编20篇）

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。

各位游客大家好，我是您们的导游员小宋，今天我们要去的景点是故宫，现在我们就开始今天的游览行程吧。

我们有时候还把故宫叫做紫禁城，而它的名称是怎样得来的呢?我国古代天文学家把天上的主要恒星分为三垣、四象和二十八星宿。三垣是太微垣、紫微垣和天市垣。其中紫薇垣居中，是天上皇帝所居住的地方，称为紫宫。封建帝王自称是天帝的儿子，所以他们也把自己居住的皇宫象征为天上的紫宫。而且皇帝居住的地方戒备森严，不许庶民百姓接近，是绝对的禁地，又称为禁宫，所以这里也被叫做紫禁城。这里共有四道门，分别是午门、神武门、东华门和西华门。而紫禁城的正门就是午门，因为在罗盘上，上午的代表正南，所以午门也是南大门的意思。它的平面呈“凹”字型，从汉代的门阙形制演变过来。下端有高12米的墩台，正中的墩台上面有门楼，两侧还设有钟鼓亭，东西两侧突出的部分叫观，上部各有廊庑13间，两端还建有重檐攒尖方亭。中央的广场叫阙。在明清两代，这里是朝廷举行颁朔大典和献俘典礼的地方。正中开了三道门，两侧都有掖门，这种做法称为“明三暗五”。五个门洞都有各自的用途：中门是皇帝专用的，或者皇帝大婚的时候，皇后可以从这里入宫，科考三甲也可以从这里入宫;平时，文武百官走左门，宗室王公走右门;掖门只有在大型活动的时候才开，三品以下的官员按照文东武西分别通过东西掖门，外国使节要从西掖门才可以入宫;在殿试的时候，考生分单双号，从东西掖门中通过。

进入午门，我们首先看到的就是内金水河，它自西向东蜿蜒流过太和门广场，上边还有五座汉白玉石桥，就是内金水桥了。内金水河的作用不仅是故宫中排水的主要通道，也是建筑和灭火的主要水源，同时还起到了点缀景观的作用，使太和门广场在雄浑中不失秀美。

在太和门两旁还有两道门，就是德昭门和贞度门。每逢皇帝出宫，都要在太和门换车，而且皇帝大婚的时候，皇后也要从太和门进入皇宫。在光绪四年的时候就发生了这样一件事：在光绪皇帝大婚前夕，太和门突然被火烧毁了，可是大婚当天皇后要从这里经过，所以朝廷就在北京寻找了能工巧匠，连夜用彩绸还有木料搭建了一座假的太和门，才使得婚礼如期进行，而在第二年，太和门才重建完成。

过了太和门我们就进入了太和殿广场，它面积有3万多平方米，在每年的元旦、冬至、还有皇帝生日以及一些重大活动的时候，都要在太和殿以及太和殿广场举行隆重的朝礼。

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

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

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

最后，祝大家本次参观玩的开心。

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

游客朋友们大家好，首先欢迎大家的到来，我叫王格申，是你们的导游，大家可以叫我王导，年长的游客们也可以直接称呼我小王，好了，先给大家讲讲我们的行程，我们第一个要去的地方就是我们的沈阳故宫。

说道故宫，大家肯低昂想到的都是北京故宫，启示不用到北京也能看到故宫的，没错那就是沈阳故宫，沈阳故宫是我国仅存的两大宫殿建筑群之一，另外一个不用我多说大家应该都知道是哪一个了吧，沈阳故宫占地6万多平方米，宫内建筑物保存完好。

现在大家就在沈阳故宫的门口，大家都看到了它的规模比占地72万平方米的北京故宫要小得多，但是，它在建筑上有自己的特色，这些就需要有颗朋友们自己去体会品味了，这里现在是沈阳最重要的游览点。

沈阳故宫建于1625年，是后金第一代汗努尔哈赤开始修筑。努尔哈赤死后，第二代汗皇太极继续修建成功。沈阳故宫的建筑布局可以分为三路。东路为清太祖努尔哈赤时期建造的大政殿与十王亭。中路为清太宗皇太极时期续建的大中阙，包括大清门、崇政殿、凤凰楼以及清宁宫、关睢宫、衍庆宫、启福宫等。西路则是乾隆时期增建的文溯阁、嘉荫堂和仰熙斋等。乾隆时皇宫已在北京，但他有时也“东巡”回沈阳看看。

现在我们来到了沈阳故宫的东路，这里是很有特色的。大政殿居中，两旁分列十个亭子，称为十王亭。大政殿是一座八角重檐亭子建筑，正门有两根盘龙柱，以示庄严。大政殿是用来举行大典，如颁布诏书，宣布军队出征，迎接将士凯旋和皇帝即位等的地方。从建筑上看，大政殿也是一个亭子，不过它的体量较大，装饰比较华丽，因此，称为宫殿。大政殿和成八字形排开的十座亭子。其建筑格局乃脱胎于少数民族的帐殿。这十一座亭子，就是十一座帐篷的化身。帐篷是可以流动、迁移的，而亭子就固定起来了。这也显示了少数民族文化的一个发展。 崇政殿是沈阳故宫最重要的建筑，在中路，是皇太极日常临朝的地方。崇政殿北有一凤凰楼，三层，是当时盛京城内最高的建筑物。沈阳故宫博物馆所陈列的多半是旧皇宫遗留下来的宫廷文物。如努尔哈赤用过的剑，皇太极用过的腰刀和鹿角椅等。沈阳故宫博物馆陈列的艺术品也很丰富。在绘画陈列室里，有明、清两代一些大师的作品如清李鳟、金农、明文征明书画精品、陶瓷、雕刻、织乡、漆器等工艺品。

我的讲解就差不多， 现在给大家一点时间自己去观赏一下，半个小时候我们在这里集合，谢谢大家的配合。

尊敬的各位游客，大家好!欢迎大家游玩我国历史文化遗产——美丽的故宫。我是陈导游，今天我将和大家度过一段美好的时光!

北京故宫旧称紫禁城，位于北京中轴线的中心，是我国明、清两代二十四位皇帝的皇家宫殿，下面让我们来细细游赏。

首先来到故宫的正门——午门。午门位当子午，故名午门。午门是颁发皇帝诏书的地方，还是处罚犯罪的人斩首的地方。

下面，我们还要穿过太和门，游览太和殿。太和殿是最大的宫殿，它面阔9间，进深3间，面积1300多平方米。它还是外朝宫殿的正门。太和殿建成于一四二零年，在一五六二年改称皇极门，一六四五年便改为现称。后来因为太和殿被焚毁，所以次年重建。

现在，让我们再来到乾清宫。那条通往乾清宫的连廊面阔9间，进深5间。据历史记载，明代时期的乾请宫有暖9间，分为上下两层，共有床二十七张，后妃们得以进御。

最后，让我们来到御花园。御花园里有高耸的松柏，珍贵的花木，还有奇趣的山石和凉爽的亭阁。御花园占地惊人，近11000多平方米，有建筑二十余处。它以钦安殿为中心，布局紧凑，古典富丽，是个美丽的地方。

我的介绍到此结束，大家可以继续游览，请不要去危险的地方，不随地扔垃圾，做个文明的游客，谢谢大家!

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

各位朋友、女士、先生和父老乡亲们，过一会我们将要参观故宫博物馆，我先为各位做的简介。故宫是世界上现存范围最大的古代皇家宫殿建筑群。故宫也叫紫禁城，“紫”是天上君王居住宫殿的颜色，那么，人间的帝王当然要与“紫”字沾边。“禁”是指当时那里守卫森严，不要说是普通老百姓，即使是一品大员没有皇帝的召见也不能私自入城，否则就会引来杀身之祸。

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

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

故宫的整个院落分为二大部分，即“前朝”和“后寝”。“前朝”是皇帝举行盛大典礼的地方，以太和殿、中和殿、保和殿及东西两侧的文华殿及武英殿为主。“后寝”是皇帝及后妃居住的地方，交秦殿、坤宁宫及东西六宫为主。除此之外、故宫内还有很多其他各式各样用途不一的大小宫殿。据说当年紫禁城共有宫殿九千九百九十九半间，够多吧?打个比方说吧，如果一个婴儿从哇哇坠地开始每晚住不一样的房间、而且不重复，等他全部住遍后，就是个27岁的小伙啦!

好了，我先为各位介绍到这里，待会我再为各位做详细补充。

大家好!我是故宫旅游业的颜剑大家可以叫我小颜导游，我今天要和大家一起去北京有名的景点：故宫。我们今天要去的地方有：太和殿、中和殿、保和殿。

Everybody is good! I am Forbidden City tourism YanJian you can call me xiaoyan tour guide, I want to go with you today Beijing famous scenic spots: the Forbidden City. We went there today: taihe palace, zhonghe palace and Baohe Palace.

我先主要介绍一下故宫：北京故宫，是世界上规模最大、保存最完好的古代皇宫建筑群，是中国古代建筑最高水平的体现。北京故宫，始建于明朝永乐四年(1406)，建成于永乐十八年(1420)，是明清两朝的皇宫，其时称紫禁城，1920xx年始称故宫。从1420xx年明成祖迁都北京，到1920xx年辛亥革命推翻清政府，将末代皇帝溥仪赶出故宫，结束中国历史上封建王朝的统治，故宫一直是中国统治阶级的政治和文化中心，先后经历了24位皇帝。

I mainly introduce the palace first: Beijings Forbidden City, is one of the worlds largest and best preserved ancient palace complex, is the highest level of ancient Chinese architecture. Beijing the imperial palace, the Ming dynasty yongle four years (1406), was built in the eighteenth year (1420), is the imperial palace during the Ming and qing dynasties, the timely according to the Forbidden City, beginning in 1925, according to the Forbidden City. Ancestor cheng, Beijing from 1421 to 1911 revolution to overthrow the qing government, the last emperor pu yi out of the palace, to end the rule of feudal dynasty in Chinese history, the palace has been the ruling class of the political and cultural center of China, has experienced the 24 emperors.

故宫占地面积72万平方米，建筑面积15万平方米，现有建筑980余座，有屋8700余间，故宫四周绕以10米高的城墙，外有50多米宽的护城河。明清故宫建于北京城的中央，以南北为中轴线，座北朝南，充分体现了皇权至上的封建统治思想，故宫城外是皇城，皇城外又有北京城，城城包围，显示了森严的等级制度。

The Palace Museum covers an area of 720xx0 square meters, construction area of 150000 square meters, the existing buildings of more than 980, have house more than 8700, around the Forbidden City around 10 meters high walls, and there are more than 50 meters wide moat. The middle of the Ming and qing dynasties imperial palace was built in the city, to the north and the south central axis, faces south, which fully reflect the supreme imperial power of the feudal rule, outside the Forbidden City is emperor city, outside the imperial city and Beijing city, the city surrounded by city, shows the guarded hierarchy.

历史上，故宫因火灾和其它原因曾多次重建，但基本格局没有改变，整个皇宫建筑分为南部前朝和北部后廷两部分。前朝有太和、中和、保和三大殿，这三大殿是故宫中最高大的建筑物，也是皇帝举行重大典礼的地方，是封建皇权的象征。后廷以乾清宫、交泰殿、坤宁宫为中心，左右东西六宫为翼，是皇帝、皇后、嫔、妃居住的地方。前朝后廷，界限分明，不可随便逾越，体现了中国古代传统的等级分明，内外有别的伦理观念。中国的建筑匠师们将如此大规模的建筑规划得井井有条，利用重重得墙门和庭院把故宫有序地组合成壮丽的建筑群。

In history, the Forbidden City has repeatedly reconstruction for fire and other reasons, but the basic pattern has not changed, the entire palace after the building is divided into north and south power at the two parts. Power with taihe, neutralization, and three main halls, are the three main halls in the Forbidden Citys tallest building, it is the place where the emperor held a major ceremony, is the symbol of the feudal imperial power. Back to the palace of heavenly purity, tai temple, palace of earthly tranquility of delivery as the center, around something natural to wing, is the emperor, empress, wives, princess lived. Power after the katyn, clear-cut, cannot overstep casually, embodies the ancient Chinese traditional hierarchical, both inside and outside have other ethics. Craftsman will such a large scale of Chinese architecture planning in order to use heavy doors and courtyard to the imperial palace and orderly combination into the magnificent buildings.

明清故宫的规划和建筑，不仅继承了中国古代建筑的传统，而且有所发展创新，是中国古代文化和中国古代建筑艺术成就的集大成者。其室内外建筑空间的组合、建筑体量大小的搭配、材料的运用、小品的陈设、装饰的制作、色彩的选择都达到了很高的水平，产生了激动人心的艺术效果。

The Forbidden City planning and construction of the Ming and qing dynasty, not only inherited the tradition of ancient Chinese architecture, the development and innovation, is the ancient Chinese culture and the achievements of the ancient Chinese architectural art. Its indoor and outdoor architectural space combination, the collocation of cubic construction size, the use of materials, the sketch of the display, decoration, the choice of the color are reached the high level, the exciting art effect.

大家好，欢迎大家来到故宫，很高兴能为大家服务，我是本次大家旅程的李导游，今天有我陪同大家共度这段美好的时光。

故宫建于1420xx年，1420xx年基本竣工，是明朝皇帝朱棣时建，现在请大家跟我一起去故宫中最大的宫殿太和殿看看。这里是明朝皇帝召见白宫发号施令举行庆典的地方，全殿面阔间，进深五间，外有廊柱，殿内外立着72根大柱，殿高35米，殿内净高达14米，宽63米，为全宫最大的木构大殿。

我们再来到中和殿，位于紫禁城太和殿之间。是皇帝去太和殿大典之前休息，幷接受执事官员朝拜的地方。

又玩了中和殿，我再带大家去参观保和殿，这座保和殿是清代的国宴厅及考举科场。大家都知道，乾隆身边有一位大臣叫刘墉，他就是在这保和殿考上状元的。

故宫的游览就到这里，对我今天的讲解还满意吗?欢迎您提出意见和建议，我深表感谢，最后我祝大家玩的开心。谢谢。

沈阳故宫始建于公元1625年，是满族人建立的清政权的早期皇宫。1644年清迁都北京后，经过增修，又成为皇帝巡幸东北时的行宫。1926年至今，为沈阳故宫博物院。现存古建筑100多座，总占地面积60000多平方米。沈阳故宫主体部分，是清太宗皇太极时期(1627年――1643年)的皇宫，具有浓厚的满族特色和中国东北地域建筑特色。沈阳故宫具有重要的历史地位。从辽东地区兴起的清帝国在这里奠定基础，并从地方政权发展为统治中国268年的统一王朝。

沈阳故宫博物院不仅是以其多民族风格的宫苑建筑成为著名的旅游胜地，更以其丰富的院藏文物珍宝而享誉中外。其中，尤以明清宫廷文物弥足珍贵，堪称国宝。院藏文物珍宝展是集故宫院藏服饰、珐琅器、书画、雕刻品、漆器、瓷器等门类藏品之精粹。这些文物集中体现了中国劳动人民高超的工艺水准和清代宫廷的艺术风格，反映了中国明清时期生产工艺的水平

具有重要的观赏价值和研究价值。展览采用世界先进陈形形式，充分运用现代设备和陈列手段，同时又保持皇宫的古朴风貌，使您仿佛步入艺术圣殿。

清代皇宫外国礼品展沈阳故宫收藏和陈列的明清历史文物、艺术珍品及工艺美术品中，有许多中西文化交流工艺品，如钟表、玻璃器可谓独具特色。自十七世纪以来，西方一些国家把大量的钟表、玻璃器输往广州、由广东海关购置贡进皇宫，海外各国使者也竞相以本国精致的钟表、玻璃器作为贵重礼品赠给大清王朝，用这些巧于构思，精心制作的钟表、玻璃器精美艺术品取悦于皇帝，不仅是帝后怡情赏玩之物，也是宫殿里不可少的一种装饰品。这些技艺精湛的工艺品，充分显示了外国匠师们的创造智慧与艺术才能，同时也是十七、十八世纪，中西方文化交流，贸易往来的历史见证。

故宫是我国最大、最完整的皇宫，在世界上堪称最为壮丽的古代建筑群，己有近620xx年的历史。

故宫是我国明、清两代24个皇帝的皇宫，故宫的建筑布局分为外朝和内廷。外朝是皇帝举行大典和召见大臣的主要场所。其中建筑是太和殿、中和殿、保和殿这三大殿，文华殿和武英殿分立两侧。内廷是皇上处理日常政务和后宫嫔妃及幼年的皇子居住、游玩、奉神的地方。

故宫共有9000多间宫殿，雕梁画栋，殿宇辉煌，极尽华丽威严。故宫是我国古代建筑大师和能工巧匠非凡技术和丰富相象力的结晶。如：太和殿中有72根支柱，其中6根支柱是镀金的，上有金龙盘绕。透过栏杆往大殿里瞧，你们会瞧见大殿里金碧辉煌。宝座是镀金的，扶手是镀银的，4个香炉是用香木做的，真是富丽堂皇。太和殿后是中和殿，中和殿是皇帝休息的地方。最让你们惊叹的是保和殿后的一块石雕。石雕长16。57米，宽3。07米，厚1。7米，有200多吨重。上面雕着波涛汹涌的大海，腾云驾雾的飞龙。故宫真不愧为中国宝贵的文化遗产呀!

现在我给大家两个小时的自由参观时间。请大家面对我们祖先留下的这些文物时，要格外珍惜，小心，不要损坏，大家可以用照相机照下自己喜欢的部分。还有，除了照片，你什么也别带走，除了身影，你什么也别留下。

我们该回去了，希望大家喜欢北京，有机会再来北京参观其它20处文化遗产。

Hello,everyone!Please allow me to express a warm welcome on behalf of Shenyang citizens.Im with great pleasure to be your tourist guide and from now on I will show you around Shenyang Imperial Palace,shere the founder of Qing Dynasty Nuerhachi and his son Huangtaiji lived.Shenyang Imperial Palace ,Fuling tomb and Zhaoling Tomb made in the early period of Qing Dynasty are the three famous historical sites in Shenyang .

Shenyang Imperial Palace with a history of over 360 years started in 1625 and was roughly accomplished in 1636 during the reign of Nuerhachi and HuangTaiji. After them four emperors of Qing Dynasty had come back from Beijing to this palace for 10 times and enlarged its area and added its buildings.They were Emperor Kangxi,Qianlong,Jiaqing and Daoguang.Therefore,until 1783 the palace was finally finished.

Shenyang Imperial Palace is one of the two royal palaces well kept in China.The other one is Forbidden City in Beijing.Shenyang Imperial Palace was entitled "Historic Culture Relics Preserved Buildings" in 1961 by the State Council.This palace is an emperor museum combining the architectual styles of the minorities of Man,Han and Mongolia.

This palace covers an area of 60,000 square meters,comprising over 20 courtyards,300 houses and 70 buildings.The whole construction is divided into three sections: the east, middle and west.

First lets pay a visit to the buildings in the buildings in the middle section.The layout of middle section is similar to a Chinese compound with three courtyards.The first courtyard is the office area.It starts from the Grand Qing Gate on the south and ends at Holy Administration Hall.From Phoenix Tower to Purity and Tranquility Hall is the residential area.They all lay out on the same line.

The main entrance to the palace is the Grand Qing Gate,also called Meridian Gate because the emperor considered himself as the son of Heaven and the palace should be the center of universe .The Grand Qing Gate was bulilt in 1632 and is was the place where the civilian offcials and military ministers to present themselves before the emperor daily .The special feature of the gate is the tile color.They are all yellow tiles but engraved with green borders.Yellow synbolizes the ground and the royal right while green represents sea and mountains.The combination of them means controlling the vast areas on the earth.

The building to the east of Grand Qing Gate is called Ancestor Temple(Taimiao)with yellow tile roof,where Nuerhachis descendants offeredsacrifices to their ancestors for blessings.So Ancestor Temple is the most important.

Please follow me into the gate.This path in the middle links the gate to Holy Administration Hall with Flying Dragon Pavilion (Feilongge) and Flying Phoenix Pavilion(Xiangfengge) on each side.The Hall of Holy Administration is the main building in the middle part of the palace and it was the center of the military,administrative affairs in eatly Qing Dynasty and had witnessed many national ceremories.Flying Dragon and Flying Phoenix Pavilions were for storing music instruments.

Holy Administration Hall was Emperor Huangtaijis office.In front of the hall are Rigui and Jiangliang,which were used as measure instruments and supposed to be the symbol of unity.

In accient construction,office area is usually in the front part and residential area is in the rear.Since we have visted the place where the Emperors worked and now well pay a visite tothe place where empress and concubines lived.Here is the Phoenis Tower.It served as an entrances to the rear chambers and also the entertainment area of Huangtaiji and his concubines,and some gatherings or banquets were held occasionally.The tower was built on a terrace 3.8 meters tall.It was the tallest building in Shenyang at that time .It is amazing watching sunrise in the morning on the tower and Phoenix Sunrise is one of the famous Eight fascinating Scenes in Shenyang.

Look upward ,we will see a board hanging up on Phoenix Tower ,on which Emperor Qianlong inscribed "Ziqidonglai",which meant the Qing Dynasty in Beijing immigrated fron Shengjing,the old name for Shenyang to the east .There are 24staircases leading to Phoenix Tower representing 24 seasonal divisions points in chinese lunar calendar.In Shenyang Imperial palace chambers are higher than halls, which is contrary to the architectural style in Forbidden city in Beijing.

Walking through the tower are the rear chambers.The one on the north in the middle was called Purity and Tranquility Hall,which was prepared for emperor and empress.The other four lying on both sides were fo concubines .Purity and Tranquility Hall has five rooms and the First from the east was where Huangraiji passed away here at the age of 52 without any disease.His throne passed to his ninth son,Fulin.In early Qing Dynasty,the construction style was summed up like this: bag-like house,zigzag bed and chimney sitting on the ground.The main buildings here were different from other buildings with a door was opende in the wall of the east room and the other rooms were connected together like a bag.The zigzag beds,made of mud and brick and with fire and smoke tunnels were called"kang"in Chinese.In order to get heat and keep room warm in winter,tunnels was made under the ground of Purity and Tranquility Hall to put fire and smoke through .Now notice the pole standing on the ground for smoke through.Now notice the pole standing right in the middle of the courtyard.This red pole is called Suolun pole,or Holy Pole.Its round tin container near the top was filled with food for feeding crows.It was said that Nuerhachi was savedby crows.Crows are considered sacred in Manchurian culture though in Chinese culture crows are regarded as birds bringing bad luck.

Emperor Huangtaiji had four concubines.Among the four concubines Chen was loved best by Huangtaiji and Concubine Zhuang was the wisest and the mother of the next emperor,Fulin.Therefore ,she had a special status among the concubines.

The only chimney was built on the rear of Purity and Tranquility hall from the ground with 11 layers ,representing the 11 emperors from Emperor Huangtaiji to the last emperor Puyi.This chimney was the highest one at that time.In Chinese ,the sound of chimeny"tong" is the same as that of unity.

To the north further is rear courtyard called Yuhua Garden.

After visiting the middle section of the palace ,we come to the eastern section.Its representative building is the Great Administration Hall,flanked by Ten Princes Pavilions.This part was built in 1625,and they were the earliest building in Shenyang Imperial Palace.Great Administration Hall is the place ceremonies and handled state affairs.

Great Administration Hall was built with eight sides representing the style of military tent and also Eight Banner military system.Now please look at the ten pavilions,five on each side,which were the offices of the commanders at that time.Here I will give you an introduction to the military system of early Manchurian Period .Nuerhachi divided his troops in four parts and each part was identified by the color of its banner .There sere then four kinds of banner:red,blue,white and yellow banner.As the troops expanded quickly ,another four parts were added and therefore another four kinds of banner were needed .By then there were altogether eight kinds of banner.This army was therefore well known for Eight Banner Army .

The last part of Shenyang Imperial Palace is the western section,built from 1782 to 1783 and during Emperor Qianlongs reign.Its main construction is Book Source Pavilion (Wensuge) with Theater Platform and Good Descendant-benefiting Hall(Jiayintang) in front,Prosperity Administration Stydy (Yangxizhai) and Nine Halls behind.Book Souurce Pavilion(wensuge) was specially designed for storing the encyclopedia compiled at that time,Si Ku Quan Shu.This encyclopedia collected most of the books in Chinese history .Its complication started in 1773.This set of history books is composed of seven sections,more than 36,000 volumes.It took educated persons over 10 years to finish is.When finished,the sholeeyclopedia was duplicated in seven pavilions across China.The other six copies were either damaged during wars or lost.This set is the only one well kept.But the real copy is no longer here and now is restored in the Palace Museum in Beijing and Gansu province library.We can see that Book Source Pavilion covered with black tiles.In Chinese philosophy,black refers water.The pavilion was built for storing books and its biggest threat was fire.So black tiles hinting water covering it on the top as a way of protection .Good Proserty Admiration Study was for Emperor reading while Descendant-benefiting Hall and the Theater Platform consisting of a couryard for Emperor ,his empress and concubines watching plays.

Shenyang Imperial Palace is one of the cultural relics in China and it is the symbol of this city .It is a good combination of diferent nationalities as well as a tourist attraction.And now we have to end our visiting ,I hope you all enjoy it and thank you for your cooperation,goodbye.

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

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

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。

各位游客，你们好，欢迎你们来到故宫。今天由我为大家做导游，希望大家玩的开心。

首先，故宫旧称紫禁城。是明清两代皇宫，是中国现存最大最完整的古建筑群。1988年被联合国科文组织列为“世界文化遗产”。

说到这里有人可能就会问了，故宫占地面积是多少?故宫占地七十二万平方米，屋宁九千九百九十九间半，建筑面积15.5万平方米。而且墙外有宽二十五米的护城河环绕，形成一个森严的壁垒的城堡。建筑气势雄伟、豪华、壮丽，是中国古代建筑的精华。

故宫殿的建筑布局有外朝内廷之分。内廷与外朝的建筑气氛迥然不同。外朝以太和、中和、保和，三大殿为中心，是封建皇帝行使权力，举行盛典的地方，坤清宫、交泰殿、坤宁宫为中心，是封建帝王与后妃居住之所。此外还有文华殿、武英殿、御花园等。

最后还要提醒大家故宫已经有很长时间的历史，请大家给予保护不要随意破坏。

Hello, tourists. Ill show you around the Forbidden City.

First of all, let me introduce the general situation of the Forbidden City.The Forbidden City used to be called the Forbidden City. It was the imperialpalace of the Ming and Qing Dynasties. The Forbidden City covers an area of morethan 720000 square meters and has a history of 600 years. 24 emperors of Mingand Qing Dynasties lived here. There are more than 8700 palaces in the ForbiddenCity, which is the largest and best preserved palace complex in China and theworld. These palaces are arranged along the central axis and spread out on bothsides. They are symmetrical in left and right. The pattern is solemn and grand.In a word, when you enter the palace of Ming and Qing Dynasties today, you willenter the treasure house of Chinese civilization.

Meridian Gate is the main gate of the palace, because it is located in thesouth of the Forbidden City, so it is called Meridian Gate. Donghuamen is theeast gate of the Imperial Palace in Ming Dynasty, which corresponds to xihuamenfrom east to west. On the high wall of the Forbidden City, there are fourexquisite turrets. They are like four pearls, inlaid in the high wall, they arenot only our country, but also the worlds architectural products.

In the wide taihemen square, there is a royal road paved with blue andwhite stones in the middle, which only the emperor could walk. From the north ofTaihe square, on the tall and beautiful white jade platform, there is amagnificent building called Taihe hall, which is also called Jinluan hall. Thebase of this white marble platform is as high as 8 meters, higher than thecurrent two-story building. Among all the palaces in the Forbidden City, Jinluanhall is the most respected. The highest level ceremonies and ceremonies wereheld here.

When we stroll among these palaces, we can not only touch its bricks andtiles, but also appreciate precious cultural relics such as bronze, jade,calligraphy and painting, jewelry, etc. You will not love enough, nor seeenough

各位朋友，这里是故宫的正门，叫午门，意思是正午的太阳光芒四射。各位请看!在10米高的城墙上耸立着五座崇楼，楼顶飞檐翅起，从上面看就象五只展翅欲飞的凤凰，故午门又称五凤楼。它建成于公元1420年，位于端门之北，雄伟壮观。

午门的平面呈“U”字型，正楼高35.6米，门额上有“午门”二字。两厢尽头为钟、鼓楼。城门正面开三个门洞，中路供皇帝出入，东西两侧供皇室成员及文武大臣通行。在两侧的墙上，还开有两个掖门，即侧门，平时不开，唯有举行皇家考试时才开放。

下面，我再为大家讲一讲午门的作用，在明代这里是举行献俘大典的地方。所谓献俘大典是指军队凯旋而归时，皇帝在此接见功臣、将士，将士们向皇帝献上战俘，皇帝象征性地将战俘赦免，以示皇恩浩荡，像正午的太阳光照四海，颇有一种“哪里有了皇帝郎，哪里人民得解放”的意味。另外，每逢正月十五过灯节的时候，皇帝在此赐宴百官，农历十月初一，在这里颁布次年历书，每逢皇帝去太庙祭祖便击鼓，去社稷坛祭土、谷神则鸣钟。如果皇帝去天坛祭天或祈谷便钟鼓齐鸣，告知百姓们“咱们的皇帝要去天坛祭天，祈谷为民造福啦!多么伟大的皇帝呀!”界时还有乐队吹奏、擂鼓，真是名符其实的自吹自擂!

刚才咱们讲的都是发生在午门前的好事，但这里还有可怕的一面呢!各位都在电影或在小说中听到过“将某某推出午门斩首”的说法，现在我要告诉大家，这里虽是午门，但却不是砍头的地方。在明朝的时侯，这里是廷仗之所。何谓廷杖呢，说白了就是用棍“仗”打某人的屁股。为什么要廷杖呢?大家都知道皇帝是真龙天子，文武大臣对真龙要百依百顺。但凡有人敢出言不逊或顶撞皇帝，那便是犯了“逆鳞”之罪。那位“逆鳞”者就会被押到午门东北角进行廷杖，轻则皮开肉绽，重者死于仗下。挺可怕的吧!那么，今天还有受廷杖之苦的人吗?有，不过今天的廷杖是让某人“停(廷)止游览，依仗(杖)有关条例处罚”的意思。所以请大家一定要遵守有关游览规定。

朋友们好！我是火柴人俱乐部的会员，我姓许，大家就叫我许导好了。在故宫有些地方不能照相、甚至连摸也不行、不能随地扔垃圾、不能随地吐痰。

故宫占地72万平方米，其中建筑面积为16.3万平方米，南北长961米，东西宽753米，周围有10米高的城墙环绕，还有宽52米的护城河，在四角都建有一座精美的角楼。

根据1973年的统计，故宫有大小院落90多座，房屋有980座，共计8704间。明朝永乐皇帝朱棣登基不久，在永乐四年，也就是1406年下诏营建北京紫禁城。修建分为两个阶段，第一阶段是从永乐四年开始备料，而第二阶段就是在永乐十五年，1417年六月开始动工兴建，历时14年，在永乐十八年，1420年完工。

在建造过程中，征集了全国10万名能工巧匠和民夫100万人，而建筑材料都来自全国各地，比如汉白玉石来北京房山，金砖来自苏州，石灰来自河北易州，五色虎皮石来自河北蓟县盘山，殿基所用的精砖石来自山东临清，松木多来自东北，而楠木多来自四川、云贵、浙江等地，可见当时工程的浩大。

今天的游览该结束了。欢迎你们再来北京故宫玩。记住，我是火柴人俱乐部的会员许导。
