明显陵英文导游词(汇编20篇)

Huaqing Pool is situated about 35 kilometres east of the city of Xi’an. Historically, the Western Zhou dynasty saw the construction of the Li Palace on the spot. In the Qin dynasty a pool was built with stones, and was given the name Lishan Tang (the Lishan Hot Spring). The site was extended into a palace in the Han dynasty, and renamed the Li Palace (the Resort Palace). In the Tang dynasty, Li Shimin (Emperor Tai Zong) ordered to construct the Hot Spring Palace, and Emperor Xuan Zong had a walled palace built around Lishan Mountain in the year of 747. It was known as the Huaqing Palace. It also had the name Huaqing Pool on account of its location on the hot springs.

Huaqing Pool is located at the foot of the Lishan Mountain, a branch range of the Qinling Ranges, and stands 1,256 metres high. It is covered with pines and cypresses, looking very much like a like a dark green galloping horse from a long distance. So it has the name of the Lishan Mountain (Li means a black horse).

The Tang dynasty Emperor Xuan Zong and his favourite lady, Yang Gui Fei used to make their home at Frost Drifting Hall in winter days. When winter came, snowflakes were floating in the air, and everything in sight was white. However, they came into thaw immediately in front of the hall. It owed a great deal to the luke warm vapour rising out of the hot spring. This is the Frost Drifting Hall that greets us today.

Close by the Frost Drifting Hall lies the Nine Dragon Pool. According to legend, the Central Shaanxi Plain was once stricken by a severe drought in the very remote past. Thus, by the order of the Jade Emperor (the Supreme Deity of Heaven), an old dragon came at the head of eight young ones, and made rain here. Yet when the disaster was just abating, they lowered their guard so much that it became serious again. In a fit of anger, the Jade Emperor kept the young dragons under the Jade Cause Way (玉堤), with the Morning Glow Pavilion and the Sunset Pavilion built at both ends of it respectively, to make the young dragons spout cleat water all day long to meet the needs of local irrigation. Besides, he had the old dragon confined to the bottom of the Roaring Dragon Waterside Pavilion situated at the upper end of the Jade Causeway, and obliged him to exercise control over the young.

The Nine-Bend Corridor west of the Nine Dragon Pool leads directly to the Marble Boat, which resembles a dragon boat on the water surface. In the Marble Boat lies the Nine Dragon Tang (the Nine Dragon Hot Spring where Emperor Xuan Zong used to take baths). At the head of his court ladies and hundreds of his officials, he would come to the Huanqing Palace to spend his winter days in October of the Lunar calendar and return to Chang’an City as the year drew to its close. The Nine Dragon Hot Spring was originally built with crystal jade, whose surface was decorated with the carvings of fish, dragons, birds and flowers. In it twin lotus flowers also carved with white jade could be seen as well. The spring water welled from the break of an earthen jar, and spouted up to the lotus flowers. Hence the name Lotus Flower Tang (the Lotus Flower Hot Spring).

The Gui Fei Bathing Pool was where Yang Gui Fei, Emperor Xuan Zong’s favorite lady, used to take bath. It was originally built with white jade, and in its center a blooming flower spouted water like a spring. The pool looked very much like a Chinese flowering crabapple; Hence its name the Chinese Flowering Crabapple Hot Spring or the Lotus Hot Spring..

Lady Yang used to make a stay in this pavilion to see sights or to air her hair after a bath. Therefore, it was named the Hair Airing Pavilion. Whether the sun was rising or setting, the pavilion was aglow with sunshine; hence the name the Flying Roseate Pavilion.

Southwest of the Gui Fei Bathing Pool stands a brick-built pavilion. On its head three big Chinese characters Xi Jia Lou” (Fine Sunset-Bathed Pavilion)are inscribed according to the model of the most celebrated according to the model of the most celebrated Chinese calligrapher, Yu You Ren, here is the source of the spring water.

At this spa there are four hot springs. They have an hourly flow of 112 tons, and a constant temperature of 43°C. The spring water contains lime, sodium carbonate, sodium sulphate and other minerals, which makes it suitable for bathing and considerable treatment of quite a few diseases such as dermatosis, rheumatism, arthritis and muscular pain. The Fine Sunset-Bathed Pavilion marks the first source of the spring water, which was discovered some 3,000 years ago, roughly in the Western Zhou Dynasty. Its water flow averages 25 tons per hour.

Take up the steps east of the source of hot springs, you will gradually see the Five-Room Pavilion where Chiang Kaishek made a temporary stay during the Xi’an Incident.

The Xi’an Incident took place on December 12, 1936, and it is also known as the Double Twelfth Incident. After the Incident of September 18, 1936, the Japanese imperialists seized the three provinces northeast of China, and intensified their invasion of North China. This was the very moment vital to the Chinese nation. Yet Chiang Kaichek persisted doggedly in carrying out his reactionary policy domestic tranquility is a must for the resistance against Japanese invades,” and commanded the Northeast Army and Northwest Army, respectively headed by Zhang Xueliang and Yang Hucheng, to attack the Shaanxi-Gansu-Ningxia Border Region. Inspired by our Party’s policy let us stop the internal war and unit to resist the Japanese aggressors,” those two generals made to Chiang Kaishek the proposal of forming a united front with the Communist Party for the resistance. Not only did he reject the proposal, but flew to Xi’an to scheme the suppression of the Communist Party.” And the slaughter of the patriotic youth. Out of patriotism, Zhang and Yang started the famous Xi’an Incident.

Very early on the morning of December 12, 1936 the Incident was impending. Zhang Xueliang, together with Yang Hucheng ordered a squad of bodyguards to surround the Huaqing Pool. They fought a fierce battle there, and wiped out Chiang’s bodyguards in one vigorous effort. The sound of firing came to Chiang Kaishek, and he was so terrified that he crept out of the window with his nightgown and slippers only. What’s more, he hurt his spinal bone, and lost one of his slippers while crossing over the back wall. He staggered up Lishan Mountain, and hid himself behind a stone in the crevice halfway on it. Those brave soldiers began to search the mountain immediately when they rushed into the Five-Room Pavilion to find that Chiang’s hat and clothes were still there and that his quilt remained warm. In the end they found Chiang Kaishek, and thus escorted him to Xi’an.

In order to avoid a civil war and try t establish a national united front for the resistance against Japan, Mao Zedong on behalf of the C.C.P.C. insisted on a peaceful settlement of the Incident. Therefore, a delegation headed by Zhou Enlai was sent to Xi’an. Zhou Enlai and his suite did a large amount of work there, took everything possible into consideration, and ultimately forced Chiang Kaishek to accept the proposal by his two generals. On December 25, Chiang was freed, and flew back to Nanjing. The Xi’an Incident was so peacefully settled.

The peaceful settlement of the Incident put an end to the internal war which had lasted for ten years, and accelerated the formation and development of the national united front for the anti-Japanese drive. Moreover, it showed that the co-operative relationships between the Communist and Nationalists arrived at a new stage. It marked a great turning point in modern Chinese history.

In the year of 1946 the KMT government had a National Rejuvenation Pavilion” built near the crevice where Chiang Kaishek had hidden himself in the Incident. It was also called Vital Energy Pavilion”. After the national liberation it was renamed Catching Chiang Pavilion”. Close by the pavilion stands a wooden board which carries a brief introduction to the Xi’an Incident. Iron chains and rings in the crevices east of the pavilion, by which visitors can climb up to take a look at Chiang Kaishek’s shelter.

Up the winding path east of the Five-Room-Pavilion you will catch sight of a bridge-like construction. It shines regularly with a myriad of evening sun rays both in summer and autumn, and looks very much like rainbow. So it has the name of the Hovering Rainbow Bridge.

Located on the Xixiu Ridge (the West Embroidery Ridge) of the Lishan Mountain, the remains of the beacon tower of the Western Zhou Dynasty seem easy to identify.

The beacon tower was mostly built at the top of the mountain to give border alarm in ancient times. It was constantly under special control. Once the enemies were pressing on towards the border, the beacon tower began to take effect: it was made to smoke in the daytime while set on fire at night.

The story goes that Bao Si, Queen of the Western Zhou dynasty was highly honored, yet she never cracked a smile. King You tried many ways to put a smile on her face, but he failed over and over again. He called his court band to toll bells and beat gongs”, and she pulled a long face. Then the band were asked to play the bamboo flute and strings” and she remained displeased. Afterwards, maids of honour served wine, festively singing and dancing,” and she did not let out a smile at all.

You don’t like music! What on earth are you fond of?” the King asked.

I nearly have a liking for nothing. But I can still well remember I liked to give ear to the sound of tearing a piece of coloured silk when I was a child. It was clear anf melodious,” she replied. King You said in excitement, That is very simple. How come you didn’t let me know it earlier?”

Thus he ordered the officially appointed property manager to offer coloured silk, and made fresh and energetic maids of honour to tear it into pieces. Hundreds of bolts of coloured silk were utterly torn, but Bao Si remained unmoved.

Why didn’t you let out a single smile then?” he asked.

I have never smiled so far, ” the Queen replied.

The King tried over and over again, but failed repeatedly, and in the end he gave orders, Anyone both in and out of court who can amuse Bao Si will be awarded one thousand pieces of gold.”

Afterwards Guo Shifu, a treacherous court official came and offered advice: Set the beacon tower on fire and fool your sovereign rulers.” That night the King and Queen reached the Lishan Mountain by carriage, and gave the order. In the split second the flames of the fire lit up the sky ad the sovereign rulers moved their troops immediately to the Lishan Mountain. There they found nothing but that the King and Queen enjoyed drinking festively. The King then dispatched his bodyguard to inform them that Everything should have been all right. I have just been joking with you.” When they got this, they looked at each other in blank dismay, and left disappointed. Sure enough, Bao Si burst into laughter, stroking her hands when she noticed all the troops come in vain and go noisily. Accordingly, Guo Shifu got a prize of one thousand pieces of gold. Later on King You did so more often than not. In 771 B.C. Quan Rong (a then minority tribe) staged an armed rebellion against the Western Zhou Dynasty. King You ordered urgently to set the beacon tower on fire, but all the sovereign rulers remained unmoved. Consequently King Yu was killed, and Bao Si was taken away. The Western Zhou dynasty vanished. Herein come the Chinese idiom A single smile costs one thousand pieces of gold” and The sovereign rulers are fooled by the beacon fire.”

Imagination of hutong in Beijing, is a quiet, clean, harmonious and peaceful. When I enter the hutong neighborhoods, sitting on the human tricycles, accompanied by the bell, shuttle less in the courtyard of neat feeling.

My trip to Beijing hutong from pipe smoke byway started the earliest Beijing hutongs, but no impression of shadow. In addition to the old, bumpy and full of mud green flag to prove its history, on both sides of the house is a bit cant see the years vicissitudes of life. House is trying to keep the style of of primitive simplicity, but seem very uncomfortable. Who lives with shops, mixed with underwear hanging on the street without cover, buzzing flies unbridled ground playing the rubbish in the corner.

Through the pipe of diagonal into hutong neighborhoods, slowly to find a little feeling. The afternoon sun on a few sparse poplar tree in the alley, and from leaking in leaf gap between, on the ground to form the dappled light and shadow, birds and cicadas seems to break the silence, silence silent. Away from the downtown of hutong, a peaceful, as if every other city. Without a map, only know that all the hutongs out "through", also no matter so much, go blind. And so, hutong tour pleasantly surprised unceasingly, full of fun. , for example, two turn son, encountered the drum tower, and walk, a while after the sultry swaying willow Yin was the palace, is the big corrupt official and arsenic home garden. And the 13 middle school in Beijing, is the tao baylor ye palace. Hey! In one hundred old buildings learning modern scientific and cultural knowledge, probably see a new world. The school, will be a combination of classical and modern perfectly. Turn seven took, hit the mei lanfangs former residence. This is a standard siheyuan, is rich to live within the range of a spacious house. The siheyun of now see on television, share, is also home to a few few single-family house. a

Walking in the alley, see the houses are painted on both sides of the road, the green paint, green paint falls off in some places, revealing the mottled walls. Buy a pile of hutong postcards all the ruins, the roof long weeds, parked at the gate of broken bicycle; Vendors carry a burden, shaved teacher carrying carrying pole with its load, a knife of pushing the car, Shouting a lane. Hutong in summer is cool, winter? The wind through the alleys, snow, blocking the road to sell carbon labored to pull tricycle difficult along...

Yes, Beijings hutong is ailing. A history of coagulation, in one hundred the capital of the humanities, thus being a little eating into high-rise buildings. Many people always called for, Shouting: "put some hutongs left to future generations," the idea is good, but for those three generations the petty townsfolk and ordinary people, old and young in a room, in order to keep hutongs and crowded in a small room, it is not fair. Now hutongs, some really has been broken, and only those who deliberately protection of cultural relics are beautiful, the other only in front of the fuzzy stone, lost the edges of the board and the towering old trees recording the hutongs prosperous. And all this, it is necessary to be replaced by a modern things, because things are growing.

My hutong tour will be at the end, I walked into a halal Beijing snack bar, choose the opening on the seat, smelling the aroma of Fried cake, steamed stuffed bun, through the be born glass looked at the street. The lights on, hutong courtyard raised smoke, children playing by his mother calling home for dinner. And I look around the store, the edge of the square table is diners. From the human face, I cant see the tall building is yearning, also can not read and attachment to the hutong, perhaps in hutong life has become a historical inertia, or perhaps, they change from the bottom of my heart quietly looking forward to...

Ladies and gentlemen, now Xiao Li is going to take you to thenext scenic spot, Lijiang ancient city, which is also the most famous scenicspot in Lijiang. Just coming out of the jade clear Yuquan park at the foot ofXiangshan Mountain, we have to follow the Yuquan water flowing from thenorthwest end of the ancient city to the south of the city to the ancient cityof Lijiang, known as "Gusu on the plateau" and "Venice in the East". Here, youwill think that how can Xiao Li exaggerate the name of this plateau town? Infact, it is not exaggerated by Xiao Li at all. The ancient city of Lijiang isdivided into three tributaries, the West River, the middle river and the EastRiver, and then into countless tributaries because of the Yuquan water runningthrough the whole city. There are also many longtans and springs in the city.Taking advantage of this favorable condition, the ancient city has a free layoutof streets and no need for neat network. The main street is next to the river,and the alleys are close to the canals. The clear spring water flows through thestreet and the town, and through the walls and houses. The poetic flavor of"every family flows with water, and every family hangs with Yang" is a trueportrayal of the ancient city. Although it is a small town in Yunnan GuizhouPlateau, it has the characteristics of Jiangnan Water Town.

Lijiang ancient city is also called Dayan town. It is composed of Dayan,Baisha and Shuhe. Dayan ancient city is the representative of them, so peopleoften call it Dayan ancient city or Dayan town. In addition, Dayan ancient cityis located in the center of Lijiang basin. In the southwest corner of theancient city, there stands a writing brush which is similar to Shutian giantpen. Lijiang basin is like a big inkstone made of Jasper. In ancient times,"Yan" and "inkstone" are interlinked, so the ancient city is called Dayan. Wearrived at the ancient city. The most attractive thing at the entrance of thecity should be a pair of waterwheel. Some people say it is a son and motherwaterwheel, while others say it is a lover waterwheel. There used to bewaterwheel in the ancient city, but today it is also used in some remoteplaces.

The ancient city was formed in the late Southern Song Dynasty and has ahistory of more than 800 years. It covers an area of 3.8 square kilometers andhas a permanent population of about 30000. In 1986, it became a nationalhistorical and cultural city. In 1997, it was listed as a world culturalheritage. Lijiang Ancient City has the same characteristics as Suzhou ancientcity, such as "small bridge, flowing water and family". Besides, it also has itslocation, street and house layout, Naxi dwellings and so on There is apattern.

Lijiangs world cultural heritage consists of three parts: Baisha ancienttown, Shuhe ancient town and Dayan ancient town. But for you, the mostattractive thing is Dayan ancient town. There are many entrances to the ancienttown. You follow Xiaoli to enter from the entrance on the right. After you seethe conspicuous waterwheel, on the right is the Zhaobi with President JiangZemins inscription, and there are three rooms and one Zhaobi houses in theancient town Its like you can see one of them. Further to the right is thewater dragon column. The dragon is in charge of water. The civil buildings inthe ancient city are most afraid of fire, but water can overcome fire.Therefore, the water dragon column represents the desire of the people in theancient city to avoid fire. For thousands of years, the people of the ancientcity have taken good care of the ancient city like their own eyes. Please alsotake good care of the ancient city like the people of the ancient city. If youlook at the world cultural heritage logo, the circle represents the earth andnature, the box represents the politeness created by human beings, the circleand the box are connected, representing the harmony between man and nature.Lijiang ancient city is a masterpiece of the harmony between man and nature.These stone carvings on the right can be called Lijiangs "Qingming River map",which is a rich Naxi style painting. At our feet is "bagtu", which was createdby Naxi ancestors according to the theory of five elements. Dongba priests oftenuse it to determine the location and divination.

Xiao Li has told you so much in the ancient city, and you have seen somuch, but he is about to enter the ancient city. How can he not see the gate? Infact, you cant see it. Its also a wonder of Lijiang ancient city, that is, youcant see the city gate or the city wall, because there is no city wall or thecity gate in the ancient city, because the head of Naxi nationalitys surname is"Mu". If the city wall and the city gate are built, it will become "trapped". Sothere is no city wall or the city gate in the ancient city.

Ladies and gentlemen, there must be such a question in mind. There are manyancient cities like this in China. Why is this remote ancient city on theplateau chosen? If you want to get the answer, please follow Xiao Li. A lane, afamily, a careless you stand in a hundred years of history, this feeling, on theroad, in various courtyards, you can feel everywhere. Therefore, this ancientcity is not built for filming or mystery. Its a real and living ancient city.If you look at it, you will feel that its much smoother than the road you justwalked. The stone slabs with five flowers seem to have a lot of gravel in them.However, its a kind of lejiaoyan unique to Lijiang. Its collected from thesurrounding mountains. Because of its colorful colors, the local people call itfive flowers Stone, pedestrian horse tread, after hundreds of years, polishedsmooth and transparent, first-class rain, poetic at your feet, this street iscalled Xinhua street.

On both sides of the street, you can occasionally see couplets of differentcolors pasted on the doors of some peoples houses. Some Naxi people have died,and they all have to commemorate three years. The first year is white coupletwith black characters, the second year is green couplet with black characters,and the third year is couplet pasted. This is the nostalgia of Naxi people fortheir dead relatives. After some forest like pavements, clear river water, smallbridges and weeping willows, it is printed in your eyes, but you dont see itPassing by such a clear river, I can see rows of tables and chairs and bursts ofmusic coming into my ears. This is what the guests call "Foreigner Street".However, the shops on this street are not run by foreigners. The bars there arebookish, rebellious and pure business. Everyone can get what they want. Theconvenient place for people in the city to "recharge" in Lijiang is to find thefeeling in the bar, especially for foreigners. There are friends, there arebridges, water, as long as not drunk, life can find a moment of carefree.

After passing the bar street, you can see a small stone bridge, which iscalled pea bridge because it sold peas there earlier. The small gate building onthe west of the bridge is Kegong square. Kegong square is named in the alleybehind the square. In the Jiaqing period of the Qing Dynasty, there were twobrothers of the Yang family in the alley, and in the Daoguang period, theiryounger brother was elected again. This is a matter of pride for Lijiang people.In order to praise the Yang family and encourage them, the government praisedthem This is a special place.

Standing there, looking to the East, you can see a vast expanse of space.This is the central square of the ancient city, which covers an area of aboutfive mu. There are two main reasons why it is called Sifang street. One reasonis that the shape of the square is very similar to the square seal of themagistrate. The Tusi named it Sifang street, which means "Quan Zhen Sifang".Some people say that the roads there lead to all directions Its a hub of peopleand logistics in all directions, so its called Sifang street. So why is Sifangstreet so famous? If the silk road is another world-famous trade channel in thenorth of China, there is also a trade channel in the south of China called "teahorse ancient road". It is a trade channel for the horses, fur, Tibetan medicineand other specialties in the Tibetan area and Lijiang, as well as tea, silk,jewelry and other commodities in the south. Lijiang ancient city is an importanttown on the tea horse ancient road, and Sifang street is an important town Sinceancient times, Sifang street, a trade center, has been an open-air fair with ahistory of 300 years. It is necessary to realize the mystery of Sifang street.In the early morning, people who get up early begin to buy breakfast, which is ahazy Sifang street. In the afternoon, traders who buy Copper, mountain goods andsnacks form a prosperous market, which is energy Sifang street is full ofvitality; its just dark, when businessmen go home, there are still people andsunshine left after a time of friction. The old people basking in the sun at thebridge head are replaced by children playing, and the bars on both sides showthe oily light of night. This is Sifang Street with makeup. At about two oclockin the morning, Sifang street people go to empty streets, and the alleys areunpredictable, only the sound of flowing water rises and falls Lijiang faces thesky. "Li Jun

There are three major events in Lijiang mens life: building a house,marrying a daughter-in-law, and basking in the sun. Lijiang men have an unusualhobby and a lot of time for planting flowers, raising birds, writing, drawingand playing mahjong. Men are good at all kinds of activities in the hospital. Inaddition, one of their favorite outdoor activities is sitting in. Naxi Women canonly sleep in one day on the first day of the Lunar New Year. From "Pan Ji Mei"to "a nai", the blink of an eye is only two words "industrious". Naxi Women workfrom morning to night, from physical work to small business, from cleaning upthe fields to killing pigs, from sewing clothes to making a fire to cook. Theyare all like Fairies in the world, while men have no time to do so. Naxi peoplehave a large number of Chinese people, which makes people dizzying. It can notbe said that Naxi Women have brought up Naxi culture.

Naxi people are good at learning, which can also be reflected in theresidential buildings in the ancient city. While absorbing the architecturalstyles of Han, Tibetan, Bai and other nationalities, the ancient city dwellingsalso integrate the national architectural culture and aesthetic consciousness,forming many architectural styles with Naxi characteristics, such as three roomsand one screen wall, four in five patio, front and back courtyard, one inseveral courtyard, etc., and forming a strong foundation in the setting ofgatehouse and front porch, patio paving, Liuhe door and its decoration Thecharacteristics of local culture and national culture. If you ask which part ofthe courtyard is the most distinctive, it is the Liuhe gate of the main room andthe window core on the Liuhe gate, which is called "four seasons Bo Gu".Although these are also the results of learning Han, Tibetan, Bai and othernational cultures. But at the moment, there is no other nation like Naxi. Everyfamily must have Liuhe gate and "four seasons Bogu". Look at this six door,which can be installed or removed. Its convenient and flexible. When itsopened, its the door and when its closed, its the window. Usually, only themiddle two doors are opened. If there are many red and white guests at home andit is inconvenient to walk, the six doors can be removed. The window core carvedon the Liuhe gate is called "four seasons Bo Gu". In the composition, famousflowers and different flowers, auspicious birds and auspicious animals, andperfect allusions are used to express the perfect wishes of Naxi people for fourauspicious seasons, happiness and longevity, and for farming and reading theirdescendants. You can see that there are different patterns on the six doors,which are "pines and cranes with spring", "spring" and "longevity", which are"magpies competing for plum", which are "winter" and "joy", which are "Eaglesstanding on chrysanthemums", which are "autumn" and "blessing", which are"egrets in the sky", which are "summer" and "Lu", which are "peacock Magnolia"and "Golden Rooster peony". Please think about it What moral do theyrepresent.

After crossing Wuyi street, you can see many small bridges. At the foot ofthis small stone bridge, you cant help sitting down and having a rest. When yousee the words "centenary square" beside the bridge, its not hard to guess thatthis is centenary square. Just imagine the origin of centenary square. Mostpeople think that centenary square is related to the old people. Thatsright.

In 1985, in "the Chinese ten big sceneriesscenic spots" in the evaluation, Xihu is evaluated third.

Xihu is such beautiful, certainly is breeding many marvelous movingfables. Hands down before very the long time, the space had jade LongHejin on phoenixs to find a Baiyu nearby Milky Way immortal island,they pondered over very many years, Baiyu turned a light shining inall directions the pearl, where did this no. 3 gunpowder tea pearlyluster according to arrive, where trees evergreen, the hundred flowerswere in full bloom. Day after tomorrow the news will pass to theheavenly palace, queen mother of the west sends the gifted general tocome to snatch the bead. Jade Long Hejin the phoenix hurries to therope bead, encounters the grandmother to reject, thereupon youstruggle me to seize, the grandmother is thrown off in the place, atwo pine, the pearl falls the world, turned crystal clear limpid Xihu,jade Long Hejin the phoenix also descended along with it, turned jadeMt. Longshan (namely Jade Emperor mountain) with Pheonix mountains,forever protected shore of in the Xihu..

Xihu took the famous scenery place, many Chinese and foreign celebrityhave only one in mind to this. The Mao Zedong life Chinese CommunistParty 40 time comes Hangzhou, longest has fully lived 7 months longtime, he treats as Hangzhou "the second family". Mao Zedong frequentlycommended Xihu is elegant, but he before death never officiallypublishes has described Xihu the poetry. The Chinese extraordinarypersonalities like Xihu, the foreign friend is forgets to return toXihu. American former president Nixon two time comes Hangzhou, heacclaims said: "Beijing is Chinas capital, but Hangzhou is thisnational heart, I also must again come." Nixon the red Pine whichproduced the hometown California state has also given Hangzhou.

Our ship slowly started. I first entire You Hu travelling schedulesimple introduction: A link lake week-long scenic spot has a mountainand two dikes. A Shan Zhi isolated hill, the isolated hill scenic areascenic spot historical site reaches 30 place west, can appreciatealong the lakes has the Ling bridge, the fall 瑾 grave, west outsidethe Ling India society, the building the building, the Zhongshan Parkand so on. After isolated hill is the Bai Dike, gets up from thePinghu harvest moon, finally breaks the bridge remnant snow, after thebridge also has the famous gem to flow landscape and so on rosy cloud.Appreciates along the lake scenery, we will go to in again the lakethree islands, the pleasure boat finally approach shore in the Sovietdike.

Now the ship is going from the west to the east, each position arrivesis area the isolated hill scenery. West west the isolated hill meetsthe Ling bridge, east continually Bai Dike, elevation 35 meters, area200,000 square meters. Isolated hill scenery Tang Songnian has beenwell-known, the Southern Song Dynasty principle ancestor onceconstructed the broad in scale Western Pacific second grade palace inthis, divideed into the most place isolated hill the Emperors garden.Qing Dynasty Emperor Kanghsi constructs the temporary palace in this,Emperor Yong Zheng changes the temporary palace for the saint becauseof the temple, hid the temple with then spirit, only the kind temple,according to celebrates the temple and calls "Xihu four big jungles" " . Perhaps some friends want to ask that, Does theisolated hill since Xihu in the biggest islands, why have to name "theisolated hill"? This is because in the history this mountain sceneryis specially exquisite, continuously is called loner emperor to hold,therefore is the isolated hill. Says from the geology, the isolatedhill is composed by the volcano blowout liparite, the entire bird isand the land continually in together, therefore "the isolated hill isnot orphaned, breaks the bridge to be unceasing, the long bridge isnot long" is been called Xihu three certainly.

Everybody front looked again that link hole stone arch bridge, issituated at west the isolated hill west, the name is called the Lingbridge. It and broke the bridge, the long bridge and is called theXihu ancient times three big sentiments bridge.

Crossed west the Ling bridge, after the isolated hill in the foothillgreen grove had reveres the white marble cast, only saw this heroineleft hand to fork the waist, the right hand presses the sword,flashing eyes, held up the head front the gaze, resembled is seekingthe revolutionary truth. Who is she? She is our country womensliberation movement pioneer, for overthrows Qing Dynasty, strives forthe national independence and the heroical sacrifice "the warning lakefemale variant" the fall 瑾. This cast height 2.7 meters, the graveplace height 2 meters, on the positive tablet stone should have SunYat-Sen to write personally "the heroine" 4 large brush-writtenChinese characters. Fall 瑾 martyrs cast, for our one kind ofenlightenment: Xihus being well-known, not merely has occupiedvictory of the scenery, it multiplied the brilliance because of themultitudinous historical personage. In the Xihu scenic spot, by thereputation is "in the lake three is outstanding" Yue Fei, Yu Qian,Zhang Cangshui, but also has with the fall 瑾 for promotes togethernearly issues 0N anothers behalf host revolutionary Xu Xilin, TaoChengzhang which China devoted and so on, all has interred the WestLake lakeside.

Our ship continues slowly to go toward the east, each position sawfront whitewashes a wall together, in the courtyard then is the famouswest Ling India society. Right flank India society, this China and theWest combines and complements one another the construction, is hundredyear old shop Lou Wailou. Outside the building the building founded in1848, shop takes from the Southern Song Dynasty poet forest rises"outside the mountain outside the green hill building the building"the famous phrase. Outside the building the building resulted in theweather, the advantage, the person and then, has received many Chineseand foreign celebrity. Outside the building the building managed ahousehold the famous cuisine number Xihu vinegar fish, it was selectsin Xihu the grass carp which bred in the stipulation scope, was firsthungry in the clear water 12 days, except the soil taste, then boiledthe system to become. Cheng Caihou Xihu vinegar fish, luster redbright, the meat taste fresh and tender, sour and sweet is delicious,slightly brings the crab taste, is Hangzhou most has therepresentative flavor famous cuisine.

Now the ship sailed to the Zhongshan Park, the isolated hill mainentrance in here. "The mountain in is not high, has the immortalthen", the isolated hill not only is a scenery Mingshan, also is acultural Mingshan. Isolated hill status in Xihu scenic area thereforeis such important, is because it is containing the rich history, thecultural connotation, in the scenic area famously has "the Xihu worldscenery," also commemorates the Northern Song Dynasty to hideleisurely poet Lin Hejing to put the crane pavilion. After thesescenic spots and so on come ashore we to go to the visit.

Nearby the Zhongshan Park, we saw this group of buildings wererecently construct are completed "the Zhejiang Province museum". Thenthe surface exhibits on 姆 is crossing the culture to 7000 ago river,gets down to near modern cultural relic exhibit article 1,700. Behindthe museum ancient construction is Qing Dynastys imperial library WenLange, it is our country one of seven storytelling Chinese stylepavilions which "the Four Books" constructs for the collection.

Please front looked that prominent Lake Surface cement platform double-eavedroof alcove has unfolded us at present, this place constructs at theQing Dynasty Kangxi Dynasty construction, the name calls Pinghu theharvest moon. It is Bai Dikes beginning, also is Hangzhou three bigenjoys looking at the moon one of paradises. In the history Hangzhouperson midautumn festival enjoys looking at the moon has three bigdestinations: In the lake pushes one of three islands Three deep pools India month, onthe mountain should be the phoenix hillside 月岩 the scenic spot, asfor the shore, number this pale blue wind was clear, the water and skyaltogether blue Pinghu harvest moon!

Now each position saw front this strip "between willow peach" the tourcauseway is the Bai Dike. When our ship drives here, the Xihu mostbeautiful scenery presented in front of everybody. Looks! In the dikenearby two respectively has line of willows, the prunus persica,specially is playing, the willow branch exudes, the peach tree greenbright red, a piece of pink willow green scenery, the tourist reachesthis point, as if like near fairyland. The Bai Dike original name "iswhite Sand Dike", as early as in more than 1,000 year ago Tang Dynasty,is famous by the sight fluttering flags. It although manages the BaiDike with Bai Ju which constructs not in a position, but the Hangzhoupeople for cherish the memory of this to make the brilliantcontribution to Hangzhou "senior mayor", still named it as the BaiDike. It manages the construction with Su Dongpo the Soviet dike justlike in the lake two brocades belt, gorgeous is varied, enhances oneanothers beauty. Everybody looked again that, the Bai Dike middlethis bridge is called the brocade belt bridge, before is the placewooden bridge, in the name "contains the blue bridge", now changes thename as the stone arch bridge. In Bai Dikes terminus, to mediated thebridge, the span 1 kilometer Bai Dike from this but "breaks".

Breaks the bridge the name most early to take to the Tang Dynasty, theSong synonym valuable blessing bridge, Yuan Daiyou name is DuanJiazhi, before is the place mess stained ancient stone bridge. We nowsee this bridge although is the place very ordinary stone arch bridge,but its name and "the Tale of the White Snake" the story relates intogether, thus has become in Xihu a most famous bridge.

西湖

Talks about here, I saw some friends already carefully wereobserving, perhaps you immediately could ask: This bridge has notsimply broken, why has to name "breaks the bridge"? This question letsme explain. Breaks the bridge is famous Xihu one of ten scenery,because breaks the position back city surface mountain which thebridge locates, is in North In the lake and outside a lake minute waterdrop, the field of vision is open, is the winter watches the Xihusnowscape best place. Whenever the auspicious snow first clear, thebridge was open already Ice Disappears the snow, but bridge shady-sideactually or snow gleams white, looked by far, the bridge bodyresembled breaks must breaks, "broke the bridge remnant snow"therefore to acquire fame. Also, breaks the bridge also is Bai Dikesend point, comes the Bai Dike from the Pinghu harvest moon to reachthis point the severance. Talks about here, perhaps everybody alreadyunderstood, originally was "the dike breaks the bridge to beunceasing".

Fellow friends: The Xihu coast landscape introduced here, meets us towatch in the lake three islands.

First we look at in Xihu most Oshima "Three deep pools India month", also calls thesmall sea state. This is "in the lake has the island, in the islandhas the lake" in the lake the garden. The entire area 70,000 squaremeters, water surface accounts for 60%. The entire island assumes "thefield" the glyph, thing Lian Liudi, the north and south constructs thetune bridge, bends the bridge two sides, plants the big piece red, isbeing white assortedly Rests Lotus.

Next Surface Invites along with me on the island tour, Three deep pools India month thisisland, initially founded an armed force in the the Ming Dynasty Wanli35 years (in 1607), was with the lake putty which scoured piles upbecomes. Its essence lies in south side the island three pinnacles.Please looked that, Three towers stand like a tripod in the lake, thetower height 2 meters, the tower body sphere, is arranging 5 slightlyCircle Hole, the tower goes against assumes the bottle gourd shape, themodelling is exquisite. Every time brings forth the moonlit night,specially arrived the midautumn festival festival, the bright moon inthe sky, the people in the tower 内点 on candle, along mouthMongolia in the flimsy, outside the candlelight pass, by now "thetower shade, the cloud shadow, the month shade" dissolved a piece,"the candlelight, the moonlight, the lake light" enhanced oneanothers beauty, in the light refraction, three towers lightspenetrated 15 Circle Hole projections on the water surface, altogether had30 moon, added the early space in water 1, Lake Surface may produce aninverted image 32 small moon, presented "the day last month a turn, inthe lake the shade became three" the beautiful scenery, Really is"lake liquid gold wants to dissolve the fall", has says endless richin poetic and artistic flavor.

After that us to look again in the lake that upturned eave Curls upwards Anglepavilion, the name calls the mid-lake pavilion. It is in Xihu abiggest pavilion. Also is an island which most early builds in theXihu three islands, initially constructed in the bright Jiajing 31years (in 1552), the distance read had 440 years to have the history."Lake Heart evenly looks into the distance" is money pond one of tenscenery. Stands looks into the distance from a high place Xihu in themid-lake pavilion, 水光 the mountain color, gets a panoramic view,the Xihu scenery, is cover all.

The mid-lake pavilion northwest that island, is called Ruan Gongdun.Is Xihu three islands smallest, the area only 5,561 square meters. Itwas in Qing Dynasty Fine celebrates Year (in 1800), Zhejiang governor RuanYuan after scoured Xihu the silt to pile up becomes. The Ruan pillarfishes has become the Hangzhou resident holiday leisure the gooddestination, Ruan Dunye you Ze is a Xihu summer feature tourismproject which grandly promotes for each place Traveling person.

Swims in the lake three islands, our ship sailed to soon anchors inthe direction ---- Soviet dike. Everybody please looked that, Frontthis but weakly crosses Xihu from the south, in the span 2.8kilometers lakes the causeway is the Soviet dike. In the dikealtogether has 6 bedstones arched bridges, respectively is reflectsthe wave, the lock billows, looks the mountain, the pressure dike,Dongpu, the cross rainbow, the dike planter peach willow tree, thecotton rose, the formation "the Xihu view six bridges, a willow peach"scenery. Speaks of the Soviet dike, the people naturally can rememberNorthern Song Dynastys poet Su Dongpo, the local official which SuDongpo once two time held the post of Hangzhou, he organized 200,000labourers to scour Xihu, then the use lake putty 葑 grass, built thisto go nonstop to Roosts Rosy cloud the range foothill causeway from the southPingshan, the posterity for commemorate his merit, named "the Sovietdike". Now dike South End constructed "the Su Dongpo memorial hall" tovisit for the people, cherishes the memory of Su Dongpo the merit.

Fellow friends: The people frequently Lai Mongolia the lake analogy theHangzhou Xihu and the Swiss Geneva two famous beads which East andWest shines for the world in, is precisely because had Xihu, only thencauses Italy Marco Polo after explains Hangzhou is "in the world themost beautiful magnificent and expensive day city". Xihu does for thefamous scenic spot, receives the various countries state head to becountless. Therefore, Xihu not only is Hangzhous pearl, is Eastspearl, the world pearl.

在进入陵区游览前，我先就明显陵向大家做一个大致的介绍：

我刚才讲显陵是明朝恭睿献皇帝朱佑元陵墓，稍懂一点中国历史的人一定是想骂我了，明朝那里有过叫朱佑元的皇帝了?那我要说了，你知道的没错，我讲得也没错，不仅明朝没有，中国历史上也没有。因为中国历史上在编的皇帝的确没有这个人，因为他是中国历史上，也是世界历史上唯一一个在死后被追认皇帝的人，这也是显陵的奇特之处。尽管朱佑元生前没有当过皇帝，而在他死后被他儿子，后来当了皇帝的明朝嘉靖皇帝朱厚璁不仅追认为皇帝，而且还为他建造了中国历史上最大的皇陵。为了让显陵的规模超过中国历代皇陵，嘉靖皇帝在位40 余年，动用了国库 40 余年的库银，几万名劳力建设了 40 多年，才建成今天的规模。它也是世界上建设周期最长的皇陵，也是全世界规模最大的皇陵之一。

显陵，是中国最早被联合国评为世界文化遗产的皇陵，而大家熟悉的明孝陵、十三陵都是在显陵成为世界文化遗产的四年后作为明清皇陵的扩充项目列入的，这主要是因为显陵有着明显的优势。首先，它完整地保留和体现了封建礼制，起着承上启下的作用，并影响到清代帝陵形制，他是明代帝陵最杰出的代表，它本身具有其它帝陵不同的独特之处：其中一陵两冢，为历代帝陵绝无仅有!中国没有，全世界也没有第二座!金瓶型外罗城、九曲回环的御河、龙形神道、圆形内外明塘也是其它帝陵绝对没有的。其次，显陵的建筑是利用中国风水理论“陵墓多与山水相称”的原则，将山水作为陵墓的有机组成部分，统一布局。建筑依山就势，错落有致，构成了一项建筑艺术与环境美学相结合的天才杰作。更重要的是，显陵的修筑是明嘉靖初年的重大历史事件“大礼仪之争”的产物。

显陵有这样多的奇特之处都符合联合国有关世界遗产的相关标准，连联合国世界遗产专家让路易先生都感到惊叹，说显陵真是一个“神奇的明显陵”。我不知道，大家游览完显陵后会有什么感想!会有什么的评价!好，各位，现在你们已经踏上明朝皇家陵地，请保持肃静，由我把大家带回到明朝……

首先我们看到的这块石碑叫“下马碑”，上刻“官员人等在此下马”八个大字，为嘉靖年间宰相严嵩手写，在我国封建社会，帝王的尊严是至高无上的，陵区被视为神圣的禁区，不仅老百姓不能随便出入，即使是朝廷命官到此谒陵，也必须在此下马，这块碑在当时具有法律作用，违者将受到严惩，同时，它是显陵重要的标志性建筑。

各位贵宾，我们面前的这座单檐山式建筑，叫新红门，穿过这座门我们就正式进入陵区了。显陵工程浩大，前后用了四十年的时间，占地面积 183.13公顷，相当于 300 个足球场那么大，整个显陵由内外两道城墙环护，大家看，连接这新红门的城墙叫外罗城，墙高 6.5 米，厚 1.9 米。周长 3600多米，红墙黄瓦，蜿蜒于山峦起伏中，雄伟壮观，大家所看到的这样大的外罗城当时在建陵的之后，各地官员从全国各地，各州、府、县上至东北。下至云贵，从一砖、一瓦、一石都向这里进献。每一块砖、一块瓦都有完整标明拉来自何处，可见工程之浩大。从空中俯瞰，外罗城为“金瓶”形状，“金瓶”在风水术在中认为不仅能饶气护生，而且是神仙所佩之法器。其寓意神圣吉祥。同时蜿蜒的城墙顺山势起伏，避免了建筑外在的生硬感，使之与自然环境更加和谐。显陵外罗城是明代帝陵之首创!其后的明清陵寝均沿袭了这一做法。

穿过新红门大家会发现依中国古建筑之规制，所有主要建筑均在中轴线为中心在两边展开，而新红门却偏离了中轴线，这是为什么?请大家带者这个疑问随我继续游览。

在我们的左手边大家看到的这个水塘叫外明塘，因处风水术中外明堂的位置(这个堂是厅堂的堂)故名。明堂是风水理论中的重要概念，原指陵区开阔的空地，要宽阔忌狭窄，宜山长发展之计。外明塘上接陵区九曲河出水，下通沧浪湖入水，它破墙而出，使外罗城有90米的缺口，说起这个缺口还有一段有意思的典故呢：据说当年嘉靖皇帝为了给自己的父母修建陵寝，耗资巨大，然国库银两短缺，拿不出如此多的款项，当朝的奸相严嵩便出计让各地知府出资筑陵，此计一出，全国各地迫于皇威相继筹措不等银两，唯云南和贵州两府因地处边远穷困地区，未能及时筹措到足够的款项，导致延误大工，后被嘉靖皇帝贬官严办，当时的设计师就决定在这一空缺段修一口明塘与两边的外罗城相连。而这一空缺段也就留下了缺—云南，少—贵州的说法。至今钟祥人仍将独缺什么说成缺—云南少—贵州。

1521年朱厚璁登基成了嘉靖皇帝之后，追封其父也就是朱佑元为“献皇帝”，并一度想将其父的陵寝迁往北京，与其他已故明皇帝葬在一起，这一想法遭到了大臣们的反对，因而未迁，嘉靖17 年( 1539年) 12 月，嘉靖皇帝的母亲章圣皇太后在北京病故。为了给母亲寻找“吉壤”，嘉靖帝于次年 2月南巡承天府(即钟祥市)，在拜谒了其父新献帝的陵墓后，他认为这是一片难得的风水宝地，便决定将其母亲的灵柩由京城送至钟祥显陵与父亲合葬。但经检查发现，显停放父棺椁的地宫已经进水，且较小。于是嘉靖便命工部在其父原有的墓冢后面重新修建一座新地宫以供放其父母的灵柩。这样就形成了由最初的单冢潘王坟经嘉靖帝在位几十年的不断扩建，变成一座规模宏大的前后双冢帝王陵。

我们现在看到的这座巨大的墓冢叫宝城，从空中看就像一个巨大的哑铃。前宝城是椭圆形，东西宽112 米，南北长 125米，就是最早停放新献王灵柩的地方(现供奉大量的随葬品)，而后宝城为正圆形，直径 110 米，下面的地宫中即停放嘉靖帝父母的棺椁。

我们现在停留的这个地方叫瑶台，它将前后两座宝城连接在一起。瑶台在神话传说中是神仙聚会的地方。而前后宝城以瑶台想连接寓意人的灵魂已进入仙境。两座宝城修建的时间相隔19年。在我过古代有个传统习俗，那就是人死了以后是不能见天日的。于是，新地宫建成后，在旧地宫与新地宫之间修建了一条通道，并筑成瑶台。当年嘉靖皇帝的父亲与母亲合葬时，其父亲朱佑元的棺椁就是从瑶台下的通道运到了新地宫。可以说，瑶台在显陵的地位是至关重要的。

显陵自修建至今已近 500 年了，期间经历数次劫难。其中最大上的一次即明代末年李自成农民起义。1643年冬，李自成大军攻陷承天府(即钟祥)，拆毁朱家的家庙，并欲挖掘显陵地宫。据说正准备开挖前地宫时，恰遇雷电交加。有迷信思想的李自成心有疑惧，未敢动土，便放火烧毁陵内所有木制结构的建筑作罢。如今科学探测证明显陵地宫保存完好，从未被盗过，这也从侧面反映了此地民风纯朴，相信将来的某一天，显陵地宫开启时定能引起全世界的注目。

显陵宝城的修筑凝聚当时先进的科学思想，请大家注意看在环形的宝城城墙上每隔一段距离都会有一个用汉白玉雕琢而成的龙头。龙头自颈部至龙嘴是相通的，所有龙头都是面朝宝城外侧。这就是显陵独特的排水系统。每逢下雨时，积聚的雨水通过龙头嘴的管道排出宝城外，以便环道干爽和减少坟冢的积水量。我们今天家里用的水龙头其叫法即源于此。除排水这一实用性外，威武凶悍的龙头也显示了皇权的至高无上，不可侵犯。同时，建造者们也是借此物之威力保卫亡灵。

That trip to Dalian to master of here will have been over.

Believe in more of Dalian public square , big of greenbelt area, cleanappearance of a city and Euro-style city construction are stayed by you deeplyimpression, keeps an incense especially among the Dalian seafood lip and toothdefinitely as early as you.

Good! Here, I give you to introduce our waterfront town, zhouzhuang. We visit today zhouzhuang is located in kunshan city, suzhou, wujiang, Shanghai qingpu at the boundary of three counties, the east is the famous dianshan lake, not far from here by bus to Shanghai grand view garden only need ten minutes. So someone said: "zhouzhuang is a pearl of dianshan lake."

Zhouzhuang, which is a jiangnan ancient town with a history of more than nine hundred years, it has a long tradition, simple morals, ancient architecture, the famous ancient architecture expert who said; "Zhouzhuang is not only a treasure in jiangsu province, and it is a treasure of the country." Chinese Taiwan jinwei magazine called zhouzhuang is "Chinas first water town". After a lot of guests visited zhouzhuang, said: "above there is heaven and below there are suzhou and hangzhou, there is also a zhouzhuang in the middle." To zhouzhuang holds so many buildings in the Ming and qing dynasties and admiration, for "small bridge, flowing water, somebody else" exquisite pattern and dazzled.

Zhouzhuang why called zhouzhuang, we just as its name implies is zhou family estate. Actually, zhouzhuang in the earliest time that once called zhenfengli, nine hundred years ago in the area of ones family name is zhou di lang to donate the two hundred mu built QuanFu temple, the local people in order to commemorate him, once called zhenfengli renamed in zhouzhuang.

Today we mainly visit scenic spots have a hall, shen hall, build, and so on. This rich shen was the hall of shen three thousand estate. When Shen Wanshan use zhouzhuang channel to do foreign trade, foreign to zhouzhuang of rapid economic development, also make the rich themselves. Shen hall for the folk houses. Shen hall is "seven into five gate house", its seven can be divided into three parts, the first is the first part, is the place that greeted her guests; The second, three, four into shen is the second part of the hall, is where the guests; Fifth, six and seven is the third part, is the place where shenyang living. In short, it can use four word can be summed up in three parts: "front desk".

Zhang hall is zhouzhuang one of only a few buildings of Ming dynasty, for jiangsu province key cultural relics protection units. A hall for the Ming dynasty ZhongShanWang managed brother Xu Mengqing offspring. Xu Gujians supposedly named xu hall, why call zhang hall? When it was in the early years of the qing dynasty, the xu decline, will sell the house to the zhang family, was renamed the hall.

Zhouzhuang is belonged to one of the most famous build up. This is why, that is from a pair of words, it was the spring of 1984, Shanghai famous contemporary painter Chen come to zhouzhuang, in a small boat to see the build, feel it brought back memories of childhood. Then, in order to build as the background, create a title for the memory of hometown of painting. Later, the painting along with 37 pieces of his works in the western oil companies in the United States President armando. Hammers name hammer on display in the gallery. This painting caused a great sensation at the time, then, was armand. Hammer with high purchase hide. In the same year in November, Mr Hammer when they visit China, send the painting to the deng xiaoping. In 1985, the painting again after Chen processing become at that time, the UNs first day cover design, favored by stamp collectors and people from all walks of life. By the news media publicity, zhouzhuang town. Chens painting to make the unknown build towards the world. Key bridge is not the key is better than the key, because it opens the door to zhouzhuang and international association of friendship.

But the bright Great Wall is in theChinese history constructs the Great Wall the high point, the projectis big, essence of the technical is unique.

Same year Zhu Yuanzhangestablished Ming Dynasty in the unification nation in the process, hasaccepted "Gao Zhuqiang, Guang Jiliang, slow name king" suggestion. Atthat time Yuan Dynasty although already perished, but also ismaintaining the quite complete military power, in addition graduallyrises Nuzhen races unceasing invasion, therefore starts to constructthe Great Wall. The Ming Dynasty large-scale constructed the GreatWall to achieve 18 were next many, only then basically has last yearsfinished to the Ming Dynasty, east nearby Liaoning Dandong YaluRivers Hushan, west to Gansu Jiayuguans bright Great Wall span 6,350kilometers. The bright Great Wall has three characteristics, buildsthe construction completely, manages the consummation, the layout isstrict. But we saw today the Badaling Great Wall is a bright GreatWalls part. But Great Wall in our country ancient times mostprimitive goal although is the defense, but at the same time it alsoplayed other roles. First is the military function, the second pieceis the economical function, it not only promoted the development andthe northern border economy development which opens up wasteland,moreover also is the area south of Yellow River common people enjoys agood and prosperous life, third promoted various nationalitiesfusion. In addition, it has also protected the communication andpromoted the to foreign countries opening up.

What is worthmentioning, in our country ancient times, not only only has thesethree time constructs the Great Wall the experience, according to thestatistics, in about in 20xx, successively some more than 20 feudallords country and the feudal dynasty all has constructed the GreatWall, some people have made the sketchy computation, if the Great Wallwill rebuild together the height 5 meters, the depth 1 meter big wall,will many circle the Earth 10 many all to have the wealth. Famousfolklore: The beacon-fire play feudal lord and Meng Jiangnyu cry GreatWall also is occurs in the Great Wall. Now, the Great Wall afterpasses through several time repairs and maintains, basically restoredthe former appearance, is included in 1987 by the United NationsEducational, Scientific and Cultural Organization "World cultureInheritance Name list", moreover it or now in world longest defensivecity wall! Proliferated the our country 16 areas, the span hasachieved 10. 80,000 miles.

We passed through a moment ago the road, took place in Yu Guangou.Guan Gou is the Mt. yanshan sierra and Jundu sierra junction meetingplace, south Changping area Nankouzhen, northwest to Yanqing CountyBadaling Great Walls area just outside the city gate, span 40 miles.Is the area south of Yellow River area leads to northwest plateau thepharynx and larynx important highway. The Ming Dynasty has arrangedfour defense lines in here, respectively is the Nankou pass, occupiesthe commonplace pass, on closes, Badaling. Folds on the green jademountain in Guan Gouzhong, once had Jin Dynasty famous Yanjing one ofeight scenery: Occupies commonplace folds the green jade, what a pitynow the landscape already no longer existed.

We saw a moment ago that railroad was designs the construction by ourChinese the first railroad, designs Peking-Kalgan line by ZhanTianyou. Because Badaling area topography complex, the technicaldifficulty are very many, therefore Zhan Tianyou designs the personfont railroad, the success solved the train not to be able directly toclimb and the curve difficult problem, but made a connection longreaches 1,091 meters tunnels also to sigh the Chinese and foreignpublic figure the clothing. Now the bronze statue which sets up in theblack dragon bridge train station is Zhan Tianyou, but also has themonument.

Closes the ditch because of to occupy the commonplace pass but to befamous, we may see front the grand construction occupies thecommonplace pass, its name origins from the Qin dynasty, to ChinShihhuang moves "the commonplace person" in here to live thereforeacquires fame. In the area inside the great wall, some famous whitemarble Shitai, It is Yuan Dai as soon as has sat the streettower, above originally has three Tibet type pagoda, destroyed in theafterwards earthquake. The Ming Dynasty in the original position ] hasestablished the Taian temple, but has been destroyed in the KangxiDynasty, only leaves behind now us to see the column foundation andlooks the column. Baiyu Shitaithe area has 310 square meter under Ticket Gate onto engrave has the lion, the elephant, the weird creature, relief andso on Jin Chiniao, separately represented the Buddhism Dense Ancestor fivesides five Buddhas place to ride, but also had Tianlongbabu toprotect buddhist law the deity the relief. On the endophragm also hadthe four great heavenly gods relief and the god beastly design, theticket goes against also covers entirely daturas pattern, in theflower has engraved has the image of Buddha, altogether 2,215. Alsosome six kind of languages engrave "tuoluoNepal After Incantation" and "Make TowerMerit To record", these all are Yuan Dai artistic high-quality goods,has the very high artistic value.

The Badaling Great Wall is in the bright Great Walls outstandingrepresentative, because here extends in all directions, thereforebecomes Badaling. Possibly everybody can ask that, why has to speakthe Great Wall to construct in here? Actually this mainly is becauseof the Badaling area important geographical position. It not only isguarding the bright imperial tomb, moreover also is Beijingsnorthwest front door.

The Badaling Great Wall is in the history many significant eventstestimonies, for example the dreary queen mother Patrols Good fortune, Yuan Taizuenters the pass, west Empress Dowager Cixi runs away and so on,Badaling all is after all the road. Speaks of here, but also somestory must say for everybody: Is located closes the east end gateroadside, some megalith, the fable the Eight Power Expeditionary Forceattacked into Beijing in 1900, Cixi runs away in the west on the waypasses through here, once stood in this stone other day looks thenational capital, therefore this stone on is also called looks theBeijing stone. But present this stone already not that highlighted.

Some speech everybody certainly knew that, Not to Great Wall non- realman. Introduced a moment ago that many landscape, you are certainlyanxious want to arrive the scenic area to tour, does not use theworry, you also had to become the real man immediately. Good, here isthe famous Badaling Great Wall distant place is the grand scenery, butdownward looked is the Great Wall important constituent old man city,he generally all constructs on the strategic in position keycommunication line. Between old man city two is distanced 63.9 meters,the west gate inscribed horizontal tablet: Key to defense of thenorth, I already have said in front. The east gate inscribedhorizontal tablet is: Occupies the commonplace outside town, themeaning occupies a commonplace outside the passes strategic place. Nowwe looked to the right release that, is ascending Chengkou the southside to exhibit a cannon, named: Invincible might general. IsChong Zhen Year the manufacture.

The Badaling Great Wall has three two walls compositions, what isthree two walls? Now lets me give everybody to explain, threerespectively are the tower on a city wall, the enemy tower, tower on acity wall structure is extremely simple, only is the officers andsoldiers which guards evades the cold the place. That enemy towerstructure relative wants complex somewhat, divides into two, the lowerlevel is by the field, the well, returns, and so on the glyphcomposes, the upper formation has the crenel and looks the hole isobserves the military situation and the archery uses, therefore herealso has defends enemys function.

Under arrived the beacon tower, also is called the beacon-fire, wolfYantai. Is disagrees the Great Wall connected independentconstruction. Once the enemy Attack, lights the beacon-firenotification military situation, the ancient rewards the smoke whichthe daytime lights to be called Beacon-fire, the evening is called the flint.Ming Dynasty time, but also has made the strict stipulation to thebeacon-fire and enemys relations that, Enemy hundred, burn a smokeartillery; Five Caucasians, burn two smoke two artillery; Abovethousand people, three smoke three artillery; Above 5,000 people, foursmoke four artillery; Above ten thousand people, five smoke fiveartillery. On through this way, in the border pass military situationcan the rapid transmission palace wall imperial palace.

Said three, under on said next two walls. The Great Wall flank tallwall is called 牒 the wall, has the crenel is uses for to defend theenemy. But the inside insufficient meter high is called the daughterwall, also is called the space wall. In most starts the Great Wallinside is does not have the daughter wall, but frequently some peoplecan fall down the cliff, therefore has constructed this wall. Each notfar has a small drainage in the Great Wall lower part of wall place,rainy day time by spits the tap to outside to drain water, in order toavoid the water washes out the city wall. But inside Great Walls walluses the stone block to cast, outside builds the brick, again spreadsout the flagstone in above, thus causes the building to be extremelyreliable!

Tian’anmen Rostrum

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

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

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

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

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

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

Such a process was historically recorded as “ Imperial Edict Issued by Golden Phoenix”.During the Ming and Qing dynasties Tian’anmen was the most important passage. It was this gate that the Emperor and his retinue would go through on their way to the altars for ritual and religious activities.

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

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

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

It is also called Huashan because of the commonuse of "Hua" and "Hua" in ancient times and the accent of local people. Huashanis closely connected with Huaxia and is the symbol of the Chinese nation.According to Zhang Taiyan, a scholar of the Qing Dynasty, "Huaxia" and"Zhonghua" were named after Huashan. As early as in the book of history, thereare records of Huashan. In the records of history, it is also recorded that theYellow Emperor, Yao and shun all traveled to Huashan. Dozens of emperors, suchas Qin Shihuang, Han Wudi, Tang Taizong, Wu Zetian, and Tang Xuanzong, also wentto Huashan for large-scale sacrificial activities.

he Ming Tombs are 40 kilometers north of Beijing City on the southernslopes of Tianshou Mountain. They are the burial grounds of 13 Ming Dynastyemperors. In July 20___ the site was designated a world cultural heritage siteby UNESCO.

Empress Xu died in the 5th year of Yongle (1407). Zhu Di sent

Zhao Hong, secretary of the Ministry of Rites and a geomancer----LiaoJunqing along with many others to Beijing in search of an auspicious place forthe tombs. It is said that this group of people first selected the area of TuJia Ying, which means slaughter-house, and as such, it couldnt be used as theburial ground. Next they selected the foot of Yangshan Mountain, Changping.However, since the surname of the emperor (Zhu) is a homophone for pig andbecause a village named wolf mouth ravine was located there, they decidedagainst using that area. Later, they found Yan-jiatai west of Beijing. Again,since Yanjia was the homonym of the death of the emperor, it was also deemedunsuitable. It was not until the 7th year of Yongle (1409), that they finallychose the present Heavenly Longevity Mountain as their cemetery grounds.

The whole area covers 40 square kilometers. It has mountains to its east,west and north, and Dragon Mountain and Tiger Mountain are on either side of itssouthern entrance. The 13 tombs go from north to south. They are arranged in themanner of the Imperial Palace, with the administration area in the front andliving quarters in the rear. In front of the tombs are divine passes, stonearchways and steel towers. The Precious City and Ming Tower stand over theUnderground Palace.

There were 16 emperors during the Ming Dynasty. Buried in the Ming tombs,are 13 Ming emperors and 23 empresses, as well as many concubines, princes,princesses and maids. The other 3 emperors, Emperor Zhu Yuanzhang, Zhu Yunwenand Zhu Qiyu are buried in other locations.

The founder of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Yuanzhang, established his capital inpresent day Nanjing where he was buried after his death. His tomb is calledXiaoling (Tomb of Filial Piety).

The body of the second emperor of the Ming, Zhu Yunwen, is missing. Somesaid that he died in a fire, while others said that he went to a temple andbecame a monk. There is no final conclusion yet.

The seventh Ming Emperor Zhu Qiyu, was buried as a prince by his elderbrother Zhu Qizhen at Jinshankou, a western suburb of Beijing, because in theTumubao Upheaval, Emperor Zhu Qizhen became a captive and the younger brother ofZhu Qizhen. Zhu Qiyu was chosen as the new emperor, but later Zhu Qizhen wasback and proclaimed his re-enthronement in the Seizing Gate Upheaval.

The Memorial Arch was built in the 19th year of Jiajing (1540) as a symbolof the Ming Tombs. It is 14 meters high and 28. 86 meters wide, and has 5 archessupported by 6 pillars with beautiful bas-relief carvings of lions, dragons andlotus flowers. The Memorial Arch is the biggest and the most exquisite stonearch preserved in the country today. The major designs of dragon and clouddecorations reflect the character of imperial architecture. In addition, it alsodemonstrates the skillful artistry of the Ming craftsmen.

The Big Palace Gate is the front gate of the Ming Tombs, and is morecommonly known as Big Red Gate. Facing south, there are three arch entrances tothe gate, the main inlet to the Ming Tombs. Flanking the gate are two stonetablets, inscribed with orders for the emperor, officials and other people todismount, before entering into the tomb area. If they did not obey, they wouldbe punished for their disrespect. The rules governing the Ming Tombs in the MingDynasty, stipulate that one who sneaks into the tomb area to pick firewood andbreak twigs would be flogged. Those who came to fetch dirt and stone would bebeheaded. Those who entered arbitrarily into the tomb area would be flogged ahundred times.

The Tablet House was built in the 10th year of Xuande (1435), and standsabout 10 meters high with two tiers of eaves. A huge tablet stands in the middleof the Tablet House. The front side bears an inscription by Emperor Renzong forChengzu. The reverse side is a poem by Qing Emperor Qianlong recording in detailthe conditions of the broken Changling, Yongling, Dingling and Xiling. On theeast side is the record of expenditures for repairing the Ming Tombs by the Qinggovernment. On the west side is an epitaph by Qing Emperor Jiaqing. It waswritten in the 9th year of Jiaqing (1804) describing the cause of the fall ofthe Ming Dynasty.

On the north side of the Tablet House, stands a group of stone carvings (36in all). Behind the house, there are two stone pillars. Beyond the pillars arestone animals and other statues. Lions, Xie Zhi, camels, elephants, and Qi Linhorses .All of the animals are in two pairs. Two stand, while the other twokneel. It is followed by the statues of military officers, civil officials andofficials of merit, four in each group. These stone animals and statues weremade in the 10th year of Xuande (1435). They reflect the imperial power when hewas alive and the imperial dignity after he was deceased. The animals andstatues were created using whole blocks of stone weighing a couple of tons andeach was delicately and masterfully carved.

Here stands Ling Xing Gate, also known as the unique Dragon and PhoenixGate, with the meaning of the Gate of Heaven. The gate is pierced with six doorleaves, attached to three archways. The top of the central section of the threearchways is decorated with flames and precious pearl, so it is also known as theFlame Archway. To the north of the Dragon and Phoenix Gate there lays aseven-arch marble bridge, leading to the gate of Changling. To the east of theseven-arch bridge stands an old five-arch bridge, which was the original site ofthe seven-arch bridge.

Actually we are standing on the axle line of the Ming Tombs, otherwiseknown as the Sacred Way or the Tomb path. We passed the Memorial Arch, the BigPalace Gate, the Tablet House, Sacred Way, stone animals and statues, and LingXing Gate. This seven-kilometer long sacred pathway leads from south to north,all the way to the Gate of Changling.

Now, we are moving to Chang Ling. Changling is the first tomb built in theMing Tombs area, covering 10 hectares and containing Emperor Zhu Di and hisempress Xu.

Zhu Di (Chengzu) of the Ming Dynasty was the fourth son of the firstEmperor Zhu Yuanzhang, born in 1360. Zhu Di was conferred the title of theprince of Yan in the 3rd year of Hongwu (1370). He was appointed at Beiping.After the death of Zhu Yuanzhang (the first Ming Emperor), Zhu Di used thepretext of eliminating evil officials at the side of Emperor Jianwen to lead anarmy expedition down south to Nanjing. He seized the throne in the 4th year ofJianwen (1402) and ascended the throne in June inside the Hall of AncestralWorship in Nanjing. Zhu Di was an emperor of outstanding accomplishment in theMing Dynasty. As soon as he became the prince of Yan, he led the generals out tobattle. He had great achievements in calming down the north. After he took overhis nephews power and became the emperor, he still went out to battle throughoutthe country and consolidated the rule of the Ming Dynasty. He made the importantdecision to move the capital to Beijing. During the rule of Zhu Di, magnificentdevelopments were made in the economy, culture and in diplomacy. In terms ofculture, Zhu Di successively sent Grand Academician Xie Jin, Yan Guangxiao andothers to compile the Yongle encyclopedia. The book has become the largest bookever complied in Chinese history. For expanding external exchanges and trade,Zhu Di selected eunuch Zheng He to lead a large fleet filled with precious gold,silver, silk and satins to sail to southeast Asia and Africa seven times in theearly years of Yongle.

Empress Xu was buried together with Emperor Zhu Di in Changling. EmpressXushi was the eldest daughter of Xu Da who was one of the founding fathers ofthe Ming Dynasty. Throughout her lifespan, Xu Shi complied 20 articles ofinternal lectures and a book advising to be good, so as to cultivate peoplesminds. She was the very first one to be buried in Changling and in the Ming Tombarea.

The Hall of Eminent Favor in Changling is the best preserved among thethirteen tombs. It is a valuable relic of ancient Chinas wooden structures. Itis nine rooms wide and five rooms long, a hall size rarely seen in China. Theroof is made of top-class double eaves and there are multiple rooms covered withyellow glazed tiles. The hall is supported by 60 thick Nanmu pillars, the middlefour in the hall are the thickest, the diameter of each one can reach over onemeter. It is known as the best Nanmu (phoebe) hall in the country.

Now we are going to Dinging. Dingling is located at the east foot of DayuMountain. Buried here are the 13th Ming Emperor Wanli (Zhu Yijun) and his twoempresses Xiaoduan and Xiaojing. Zhu Yijun was the longest on the throne of theMing Emperors. (He was emperor for 48 years). He was the greediest and laziestemperor in the Ming Dynasty. Zhu Yijun ascended the throne at the age of 9.After he came to power, he was supported by the chief minister Zhang Juzheng. Atthis time, various aspects of society gained development.

Later ,Zhang Juzheng died of illness. Not long after Wanli managed stateaffairs on his own, he used the chance to select the location for his tomb sitewhen he went to pay homage to the ancestors tombs. He spent eight million taelsof silver (250,000 kilos of silver) and six years to build a high quality tombDingling. After the Dingling was completed, Zhu Yijun personally went to inspectit, and felt very satisfied with the result. He went so far as to hold a grandbanquet in the Underground Palace, which was unheard of in history.

Zhu Yijun was a typical muddle-headed emperor. Reflecting on his reign, hedid not pay attention to state affairs for 28 out of his 48 year rule. The stateorgan was effectively semi-paralyzed during his reign. Later generationscommented that the fall of the Ming dynasty was caused by this emperor.

Zhu Yijun had two empresses. Empress Xiaojing was originally a maid ofWanlis mother Cisheng. Later she gave birth to a son of the emperor. That sonwas the one-month emperor Guangzong (Zhu Changluo). She died of illness 9 yearsearlier than Shenzong died. She was buried as a concubine at Pinggangdi, aroundthe east pit, at the Heavenly Longevity Mount. After Xiaojing was conferred thetitle of “grandmother of the emperor”, her body was moved to the UndergroundPalace of Dingling, and buried together with Emperor Wanli and Empress Xiaoduanon the same day. Xiaoduan was conferred the title of empress, but she could notgive birth to either a son or a daughter to the emperor. Xiaoduan died ofillness. A hundred days later, Emperor Wanli (Zhu Yijun) died too. EmpressXiaoduan, Emperor Wanli, and Empress Xiaojing were buried together in theUnderground Palace.

The tablet in front of Dingling has no words on it. It is called thewordless tablet. There is a pair of coiling dragons along the top and a patternof sea waves carved on the bottom. Its base is composed of a tortoise (Bixi). Itis said that the dragon has nine sons. In twelve of the Ming Tombs, excludingChangling, all the tablets are wordless. Originally there were no tablet housesin front of the Tombs, but later the tablet houses and steeles of the first sixtombs were completed. But the emperor Jiajing at the time indulged in drinking,lust and searching for longevity pills, so he had no time to pay attention onthe inscriptions. Consequently the six tablets are wordless. And in keeping withthis tradition, that’s why the tablets later on are also blank.

Now we are arriving at The Gate of Eminent Favor and the Hall of EminentFavor of Dingling, The Hall of Eminent Favor is also called Hall of Enjoyment.It was the place where the emperor and his entourage held grand sacrificialrites. They were mostly destroyed when the Qing soldiers came. And they weredestroyed again later, so now only the ruins remain.

Moving on, this is the exhibition rooms that were built after theexcavation of the Underground Palace. The exhibition explains in detail thehistory of the tomb master and introduces the tomb excavation process. Theexhibition rooms are divided into two parts, the south and the north. In thesouth room, on display are the sacrificial objects of Emperor Wanli unearthedfrom the Underground Palace. In the north room, on display are the sacrificialitems of the two empresses. All of then are fancy and invaluable.

Now we arrive at The Soul Tower, this is the symbol of the tomb. It is astone structure with colorful painted decorations. The Soul Tower and thePrecious citadel of Dingling have never been damaged seriously. The Soul Toweris the best preserved architecture above the ground of Dingling. On top of theyellow, glazed tiled roof of the Soul Tower sits a big stone tablet. Two Chinesecharacters----Dingling, are carved on the tablet. Inside the Soul Tower, on topof another stone tablet, there are two big characters----the Great Ming writtenin seal characters. On the body of the tablet, seven Chinese characters-----Tombof Emperor Shenzong Xian are carved. The Soul Tower is connected with thePrecious Citadel. The Precious Citadel is a large round wall built with bricks.The Precious Citadel wall is 7.5 m high, and lower part is thick while the upperpart is thin. The round walls perimeter is over 800 meters, and inside the wallis a large artificial mound, the emperors tomb mound, known as Precious Top.

Dingling is the only Ming Tomb to be excavated. Formal excavation workstarted in May 1956 and ended in 1958. First, the working personnel discoveredan exposed gateway at the side wall to the southwest of the Precious Citadel ofDingling. So they dug the first tunnel facing the position of the gateway. Atthe bottom of the tunnel, they discovered a tunnel made of bricks. Three monthslater, along the direction of the tunnel, to the west of the Soul Tower, theydug the second tunnel. During the digging, they encountered with a stone tabletwhich inscribed the words from here 48. 8m forward and 10. 7m downward lies theprecious wall. Therefore it gave the correct direction of opening up theUnderground Palace.

According to the direction of the stone tablet, after digging the thirdtunnel, they found a stone tunnel. At last they got to the precious wall. Thusthey opened the precious wall with a square stone room. To the west end of theroom, lay two marble doors. The working personnel used a wire and wood plank toremove the self-acting stone bar, which was against the back of the door. Withthis method, they opened the entrance of the Underground Palace.

The palace has no beam which was built according to the principles ofgeomancy Altogether there are five chambers. The chambers are separated by sevenmarble doors. The Underground Palace is 27 meters deep, covering an area of1,195 square meters. There is a same structure stone door in between the front,middle and rear chambers. The door is made of marble. The biggest marble door is3. 3 meters high, 1.7 meters wide, 4 tons in weight. It looks heavy, but it isreasonably designed. The pivot of the stone door is inclined to the door axle,so the door is easy to open and close. On top of the door is a lintel (made ofbronze) tube weighing about 10 tons to prevent the door from falling. Carved onthe front of the marble door are 9 rows of 81 knobs and strange animals withrings in their mouths. Located on the reverse side, opposite the animals, is aprotruding section that holds the doors self-acting stone bar.

The front and middle chambers are 7. 2 meters high and 6 meters wide. Thefloor is covered with gold bricks. According to records, the gold bricks aresmooth and durable. The more you polish them, the brighter they become. Thereare no decorations in the front and two annex chambers. In the middle chamber,there are three marble thrones for Emperor Wanli and his two Empresses, known asthe precious thrones. In the front of the thrones, there are five yellow glazedofferings and one blue-and-white porcelain jar of Jiajing Years style with acloud-and-dragon design. It is about 0.7 meters in diameter. Originally therewas sesame oil in the jar. On the surface of the oil was a copper tube with awick inside. It is called the everlasting lamp. Due to the lack of oxygen, thelight went out so the oil had not been used all.

The rear chamber is the biggest of the three. It is 9.5 meters high, 31meters long, 9.l meters wide, the floor is paved with polished stones. In therear chamber, there is a coffin platform edged with white marble. Placed on theplatform are the coffins of Emperor Wanli and his two Empresses as well as 26vermilion boxes filled with funeral objects.

In the middle of the coffin platform, there is a rectangular hole filledwith soil called Gold Well. Putting jade stone around the coffin or inside thecoffin or in the mouth of the deceased is called being buried with jade. Ancientpeople believed Gold Well was the pit of geomancy. It could prevent the bodyfrom decay for a long time. Being buried with jade on a Gold Well was thehighest standard of entombment one could receive in the feudal era.

Originally the empresss coffin should have been placed in the rear chamber.Then why were the coffins of the two empresses also in the same chamber as theemperors? In 1620, first empress Xiaoduan died in April, then in July EmperorWanli also died. After that, the son of Zhu Changluo died 29 days after hissuccession. In only a few months, two emperors and one empress had died insuccession. In addition they had removed Empress Xiaojings coffin to Dingling.All the burdens of the funeral burials fell on the just enthroned Emperor ZhuYoujian. The preparation work was done in a hurried fashion (this was clearlyrecorded in historical documents). The rainy season had already arrived beforethe funeral could occur and the passage leading to the empress annex chamber maynot have been convenient to open. So the coffins of the emperor, empresses allentered the Underground Palace through the front entrance. After the coffinsentered the Underground Palace, since the passage to the annex chambers werenarrow, the coffins of the empresses would not fit through it. So they had toput all the three coffins together into the rear chamber.

Now please follow me out of the underground palace. And our tour for todayis completed. I hope you have found our time together informative and enjoyable.We now have half an hour for a rest, and then we will get together here at4:00pm. Thank you.

In the north of China, there lies a 6, 700-kilometer-long (4, 161-mile-long) ancient wall. Now well-known as the Great Wall of China, it starts at the Jiayuguan Pass of Gansu Province in the west and ends at the Shanhaiguan Pass of Hebei Province in the east. As one of the Eight Wonders in the world, the Great Wall of China has become the symbol of the Chinese nation and its culture. Lots of beautiful legends and stories about the Great Wall took place following along the construction, and since that time these stories have spread around the country.

Those that happened during construction are abundant, such as Meng Jiangnu‘s story and the legend of the Jiayuguan Pass. Meng Jiangnu‘s story is the most famous and widely spread of all the legends about the Great Wall. The story happened during the Qin Dynasty (221BC- 206BC). It tells of how Meng Jiangnu‘s bitter weeping made a section of the Great Wall collapse. Meng Jiangnu‘s husband Fan Qiliang was caught by federal officials and sent to build the Great Wall. Meng Jiangnu heard nothing from him after his departure, so she set out to look for him. Unfortunately, by the time she reached the great wall, she discovered that her husband had already died. Hearing the bad news, she cried her heart out. Her howl caused the collapse of a part of the Great Wall. This story indicates that the Great Wall is the production of tens of thousands of Chinese commoners. Another legend about the Jiayuguan Pass tells of a workman named Yi Kaizhan in the Ming Dynasty (1368BC-1644BC) who was proficient in arithmetic. He calculated that it would need 99, 999 bricks to build the Jiayuguan Pass. The supervisor did not believe him and said if they miscalculated by even one brick, then all the workmen would be punished to do hard work for three years. After the completion of the project, one brick was left behind the Xiwong city gate.

The supervisor was happy at the sight of the brick and ready to punish them. However Yi Kaizhan said with deliberation that the brick was put there by a supernatural being to fix the wall. A tiny move would cause the collapse of the wall. Therefore the brick was kept there and never moved. It can still be found there today on the tower of the Jiayuguan Pass.

亲爱的各位团友：

大家好！今天，我将带大家参观举世闻名的“佛教艺术宝库”——敦煌莫高窟。莫高窟在敦煌的东南方向，距市区25公里。敦煌的莫高窟和洛阳的龙门石窟、大同的云冈石窟，并称中国“三大石窟”。莫高窟的开凿比龙门石窟早128年，比云冈石窟早94年。莫高窟以它创建年代之久、建筑规模之大、壁画数量之多、塑像造型之美、保存之完整，以及艺术之博大精深，而闻名天下，享誉国内外。1987年被联合国教科文组织列入世界文化遗产保护项目，1991授予“世界文化遗产”证书。

莫高窟创建于前秦，从北魏开始，一直走着上升的道路，到唐初已经有一千多个窟。据说，公元366年，有一个叫乐僔的和尚云游到鸣沙山下，这时正值黄昏，太阳就要沉落在茫茫无际的沙漠之中，他又饥又渴，茫然四顾，在向东方远望时，忽然看见三危山高耸的峰顶在夕阳的映照之下，金光闪闪，好似有千佛在其中显现。和尚一下子被这奇妙的景象惊呆了，欢喜万分，立即顶礼膜拜，并许下了造窟的誓愿。他随即化缘，开凿了第一个洞窟。消息不胫而走，很快传向了四面八方，于是就有许多善男信女前来朝拜。莫高窟在民间称作“千佛洞”，“千”这个数字在这里并不是指具体的数目，而是比喻很多。因为这里有许多佛教塑像、壁画，数量均超过千个，因此才形象地称之为“千佛洞”。莫高窟现存洞窟491个（编号有492个，其中485与486为同窟重号），壁画45,000多平方米，塑像2,400余身，至今已有1,600多年的历史。

大家看，前边有绿色的地方就是莫高窟，它背靠鸣沙山，面对三危峰，窟区南北全长1,600多米，现存洞窟大小不一，上下错落，密布崖面，洞窟里有栩栩如生的塑像，婀娜多姿的飞天，精美绝伦的壁画，构图精巧的莲花砖，烘托出了一个充满宗教氛围的佛国世界。

进入寺区，各位游客朋友可以环顾一下，莫高窟周围是戈壁、沙漠、不毛的秃山，而这里却独具一片青翠，泉水叮咚，树木繁荫，不能不让人感到神奇。

首先，我们去参观有名的“藏经洞”。它在第16号洞窟市道的北侧。1900年5月26日这一天，守护莫高窟的道士王圆箓在一个偶然的机会，发现了秘封了九百多年的“藏经洞”，其中所藏的隋唐、宋初的经卷、文书、织绣、图画等大量无比珍贵的文物终于重见天日。由于清王朝的腐败，加之王圆箓的愚昧，这些珍贵文物遭到了帝国主义分子肆无忌惮的掠夺和盗窃。直到1910年，清政府才将劫余的文物运往北京，收藏在北京图书馆。在运输途中以及运到北京之后，不少文物又被偷、损坏或遗失。藏经洞的发现是中国19世纪末最重要的文献发现，也是中国考古史上一次难以估量的重大损失。“藏经洞”发现的这些文献，内容包括宗教经典和多种文字书写的世俗文书，涉及到许多学科，是研究古代宗教、政治、经济、军事、文化的重要资料。而以研究敦煌遗书、敦煌石窟艺术及敦煌史地为研究对象的一门学科叫做敦煌学。它与徽州学和藏学齐名，是中国的三大区域文化之一，也是三大显学之一。

莫高窟壁画，前期以说法图、本生故事和神怪画为主，如428窟北周时期的《萨埵那饲虎本生》和《须达拿人海求珠本生》为莫高窟面积最大、画面最多、时代最早的横卷连环画本生故事。画面充满了痛苦、悲观、绝望、消极的色彩，宣扬无原则的牺牲，体现了键陀罗风格，是在继承汉画传统的基础上又吸收了印度和中亚的艺术风格。

来莫高窟途中看到的赤红色极醒目的建筑物，就是96号窟，即莫高窟的象征性建筑——“九层楼”。莫高窟建筑艺术主要指洞窟的形制，石窟本身就是具有立体空间的建筑。前期的洞窟以中心塔柱式为主，所谓中心塔柱式即开凿时就在洞窟的中央留下一个方柱，在柱子的四面开龛，龛内塑像。中期开凿的洞窟相对较大，中心塔柱式被庙堂式，即覆斗顶窟代替，多数是在洞窟正面墙壁上开较大的佛龛，塑造多身塑像，窟顶为覆斗式，天井彩绘精美的图案。后期开凿的洞窟都比较大，纵深二三十米，称殿堂窟，洞窟中央设有佛坛，佛坛上面塑造多身较大的塑像。除此以外还有禅窟、大佛窟和涅槃窟。洞窟建筑形式的转变和多样化，反映了古代艺术家们在接受外来文化的时侯，不是生搬硬套，而是吸收、融化。
