Tian’anmen Rostrum
Tian’anmen( the Gate of Heavenly Peace), is located in the center ofBeijing. It was first built in 1417 and named Chengtianmen( the Gate of HeavenlySuccession). 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, andserved as the main entrance to the Imperial City, the administrative andresidential quarters for court officials and retainers. The southern sections ofthe Imperial City wall still stand on both sides of the Gate. The tower at thetop of the gate is nine-room wide and five –room deep. According to the Book ofChanges, the two numbers nine and five, when combined, symbolize the supremestatus of a sovereign.During the Ming and Qing dynasties, Tian’anmen was theplace where state ceremonies took place. The most important one of them was theissuing of imperial edicts, which followed these steps:
1) The Minister of Rites would receive the edict in Taihedian( Hall ofSupreme Harmony), where the Emperor was holding his court. The minister wouldthen carry the decree on a yunpan( tray of cloud), and withdraw from the hallvia Taihemen( Gate of supreme Harmony)
2) The Minister would put the tray in a miniature longting( dragonpavilion). Beneath a yellow umbrella and carry it via Wumen( Meridian Gate), toTian’anmen Gate tower.
3) A courtier would be invested to proclaim the edict. The civil andmilitary officials lining both sides of the gateway beneath the tower wouldprostrate themselves in the direction of the emperor in waiting for the decreeto the proclaimed.
4) The courtier would then put the edict in a phoenix-shaped wooden box andlower it from the tower by means of a silk cord. The document would finally becarried in a similar tray of cloud under a yellow umbrella to the Ministry ofRites.
5) The edict, copied on yellow paper, would be made known to the wholecountry.
Such a process was historically recorded as “ Imperial Edict Issued byGolden Phoenix”.During the Ming and Qing dynasties Tian’anmen was the mostimportant passage. It was this gate that the Emperor and his retinue would gothrough on their way to the altars for ritual and religious activities.
On the Westside of Tian’anmen stands ZhongshanPark( Dr. Sun Yat-sen’sPark), and on the east side, the Working People’s Cultural Palave. The Park wasformerly called Shejitan( Altar of Land and Grain), built in 1420 for offeringsacrificial items to the God of Land. It was opened to the public as a park in1914 and its name was changed in 1928 to the present one in memory of the greatpioneer of the Chinese Democratic Revolution.The Working People’s CulturalPalace used to be Taimiao( the Supreme Ancestral Temple), where tablets of thedeceased dynastic rulers were kept.
The stream in front of Tian’anmen is called Waijinshuihe( Outer GoldenRiver),with seven marble bridges spanning over it . Of these sevenbridges,historical records say the middle one was for the exclusive use of theemperor and was accordingly called Yuluqiao( Imperial Bridge). The bridgesflanking it on either side were meant for the members of the royal family andwere therefore called Wanggongqiao( Royal’s Bridges). Farther away on each sideof the two were bridges for officials ranking above the third order and werenamed Pinjiqiao( ministerial Bridges). The remaining two bridges were for theuse by the retinue below the third order and wre called Gongshengqiao( commonBridges). They anr the one in front of the Supreme Ancestral Temple to the eastand 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 meantas 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 areelaborately cut in bas-relief following the pattern of a legendary dragon.Behind the gate stands another pair of similar columns. The story of Huabiao maybe traced to a couple of sources. One of the versions accredits its invention toone of the Chinese sage kings named Yao, who was said to have set up a woodenpillar in order to allow the ordinary people to expose evil-doers, hence it wasoriginally called a slander pillar. Later it ws reduced to a signpost, and nowit serves as an ornament.

During the spring equinox every year, cherry blossoms on the campus ofWuhan University compete with each other for beauty and beauty. After the bleakwinter, cherry blossoms first bring people joy and joy. Cherry blossom is thenational flower of Japan, but it is not unique to Japan. In fact, it is oftenseen in Yunnan and other places in the upper reaches of the Yangtze River. Atthe beginning of the Anti Japanese War, there were cherry blossoms in WuhanUniversity. According to Tang Zibing (also known as Tang Shanghao), he graduatedfrom the Economics Department of Wuhan University in 1934, then studied inJapan, and returned to Wuhan University to teach in 1937. After the victory ofthe Anti Japanese War, he went to Chinese Taiwan, taught in various colleges anduniversities in Taipei, and now lives in the United States). Mr. Li recalledthat after Japan launched the brutal war of aggression against China in 1937, itmoved fiercely to central China, and the situation in Wuhan became increasinglytense. In April 1938, Wuhan University moved to Leshan, Sichuan Province. WangXinggong, President of Wuhan University, decided to appoint Tang Zibing andother five people to stay in Han Dynasty. In October, after the Japanese armyoccupied Wuhan, Tang et al. Evaded the French concession in Hankou, and WuhanUniversity became the headquarters of the Japanese army in the Central Plains.On campus, there are more than 100 cadres of the first Japanese regiment, whoseheadquarters are located in the College of Arts. The three academies of Arts,science and engineering are used by a large number of civil servants in theCentral Plains command of the Japanese army. The dormitories for professors areoccupied by senior Japanese officials. The dining room (the first canteen forcollege students) is upstairs and downstairs by the Japanese army fieldhospital. After the Japanese army occupied Wuhan University, Tang Zibing tookhis wife (Japanese) and the left behind personnel to negotiate with the Japanesearmy inside the University, demanding that the Japanese army strictly protectthe campus facilities of Wuhan University. The interviewee was the commander ofthe regiment, the great assistant of Yi chieftain wasteland. He said that theJapanese army "has no intention of destroying the non military facilitieswithout resistance. In particular, we should take good care of the plants andtrees on the campus of the high school. Second, if the troops are mobilizedfrequently, I can leave a message when I am stationed: the receiver still paysattention, and then I can visit again. "At the beginning of 1939, Chang et al.Learned that the Japanese army had changed its defense, and once again" theoriginal class members went to the campus to negotiate with the Japaneseauthorities. Once again, he asked the Japanese army to take good care of all thecampus facilities. This time, major general Takahashi, a civilian militaryofficer, was interviewed. Due to the lack of garrison, the campus has become theagency for handling the post logistics in Japan, and its attitude is more kind.Takahashi made it clear that "we should try our best to protect this culturalarea which is more beautiful than the sunlight and Hakone in Japan." he alsosaid: "only when the spring is bright and beautiful, we still need flowers andtrees to decorate it. We can plant cherry blossoms here from Japan to enhanceour mood." Then he led Tang to the College of liberal arts and told long thatthey were going to plant cherry trees in the future (now the cherry gardenavenue) to show that they had made up their mind to plant cherry trees everyday. Tang Zibing was not satisfied with the Japanese armys method of plantingcherry trees, because cherry trees are the national flower of Japan. He wantedto plant them in Wuhan University for a long time, but he didnt dare to opposethem publicly. So he came up with the suggestion that "plum blossom can beplanted at the same time" when planting Japanese cherry trees. On the surface,Takahashi objected to Tangs suggestion, saying only: "cherry seedlings are easyto get, plum seeds are hard to find. Next year, you can come to enjoy cherrytrees." in fact, he denied Tangs opinion. From Mr. Tangs recollection, we caninfer that Japanese cherry trees were first planted in Wuhan Tianxue in 1939.Takahashi planted no more than 50 Japanese cherry trees in that year, mainlydistributed on todays Tuoyuan Avenue. These cherry trees began to decay in the1950s. In 1957, the third management department of Wuhan University renewed theold cherry trees. In 1965, more than 50 cherry trees were planted in the area ofYingYuan Avenue in Wuhan University farm, and the variety increased greatly. Inthe 1970s, a batch of cherry trees were introduced into Wuhan University farm torenew the old cherry trees. In the 1980s, after the establishment of theGreening Committee of Wuhan University, a comprehensive and reasonable layout ofcherry trees on campus was carried out, and the planting area of cherry treeswas expanded, from Wang Zais new fourth teaching building, gymnasium, newsecond teaching building, through YingYuan Avenue and its broad area, biologybuilding, humanities Museum (i.e. Yifu Building), physics building,administration building, to new and old receptions Cherry blossoms have beenplanted in all schools, students second canteen and Wuhan University Hospital.According to incomplete statistics, there are at least 500 cherry trees on thecampus of Wuhan University. Sakura is a deciduous tree or small tree ofRosaceae. It has beautiful flower shape and is suitable for vibration beltplanting. The bark of cherry tree is smooth, purplish brown and glossy, withluxuriant branches and leaves and green ginseng, which can be used for plantingbeside pedestrian and vehicular roads. There are many kinds of cherry blossomswith their own characteristics. At present, there are several varieties ofcherry blossoms in Wuhan University. In addition to one or two exotic Dahongshancherry blossoms among the Japanese cherry blossoms updated in the 1950s, thisvariety also introduced a batch of mountain cherry blossoms from Shanghai in1973, also known as double petal cherry blossoms. The flowering period is laterthan that of Japanese cherry blossoms, with flowers and leaves in full bloom andvarious colors. At present, there are four kinds of cherry blossoms in WuhanUniversity: white, green, pink and scarlet. They grow luxuriantly and are cute.(2) In 1973, Japanese friends sent a batch of cherry trees to Premier ZhouEnlai. Premier Zhou once lived in Wuhan University, so the central governmenthad a lot of them
The Customs Department transferred the seedlings to Wuhan University forplanting. This cherry tree has white flowers and smaller ones. (3) The Japanesecall it "eight cherry trees". In 1983, a Japanese friend presented 100 cherrytrees to Wuhan University. Now they are in the growing period, with tightflowers, luxuriant leaves and colorful pink flowers. This kind of cherry enjoysa high reputation in Japan. (4) Zaoying (the name of the plant has not yet beenidentified). In early 1989, Wuhan University introduced 15 cherry trees fromYunnan and planted them on the road of Wuhan University Hospital It is also inthe opening period when plum blossom is strong and needs to be adjusted. Fromthe above, we can see that there are more than 10 varieties of cherry blossomsin Wuhan University, but the blooming period of some cherry blossoms is veryshort, generally only about 15 days, and the flowering period is not consistent.For example, early cherry usually blooms in early March every year; JapaneseCherry usually blooms from late March to early April; while double cherry anddrooping cherry usually bloom in early April. Due to the different florescence,the technical management is very particular. Cherry blossoms were originallyplanted in Wuhan University just to make the campus green for the teachers andstudents of Wuhan University to enjoy. Now it has changed a lot and become oneof the most important landscapes in Wuhan city. It is estimated that nearly onemillion Chinese and foreign tourists visit Wuda every year to watch cherryblossoms. In the eyes of Wuhan people, Wuda seems to be the only scenic spot towatch cherry blossoms, The relevant units of Wuhan city and the relevantdepartments of the central government also took advantage of the opportunity tohold various academic seminars, experience exchange meetings, sportscompetitions and other activities in Wuhan University, which increased thelively atmosphere of the cherry blossom period. The cherry blossoms of Wuda arenot only for Chinese and foreign visitors to enjoy, but also for breedingvarious cherry varieties for brother units to beautify the environment. In 1988,Wuhan University transferred 16 rare cherry trees to Central South University ofFinance and economics. These cherry trees were deeply loved by the teachers andstudents of the University. In 1991, Wuhan University transferred more than 100cherry trees of more than 10 varieties to the cherry garden of Yuyuantan Park inBeijing, which was also praised by the people of Beijing. At present, theGreening Committee of Wuhan University is stepping up the propagation of variousvarieties of cherry trees. In addition to meeting the needs of campus greening,it will also support units outside the campus to beautify the environment. Wefirmly believe that in the near future, the cherry seedlings of Wuhan Universitywill take root and blossom in more areas.
Cherry blossoms are native to the temperate Himalayas of the northernhemisphere, including northern India, the Yangtze River Valley of China, Chinese TaiwanProvince of China, Korea and Japan. It is the most abundant in southwestmountain areas of China and cultivated in North China. At the beginning of theAnti Japanese War, there were cherry blossoms in Wuhan University. According toTang Zibing (also known as Tang Shanghao), he graduated from the EconomicsDepartment of Wuhan University in 1934, then studied in Japan, and returned toWuhan University to teach in 1937.

His attitude is more amiable.

Ladies and gentlemen:
Today we are going to visit zhongyang street. this is the downtown area. inorder to better know the street, we are going to walk through it, which takesabout40 minutes. those who do not like walking may keep seated, our coach willgo along another street and stop at the flood control monument. those who cannotwalk that far may take a taxi to the flood control monument. now let6"s get offthe coach, and take a walk on zhongyang street.
Zhongyang street measures1450 meters from jingwei street in the south tothe flood control monument on the riverbank in the north. this is china"slongest walkway. the street was built at the end of the last century. it wasconnected to a wharf at the songhua river. because of the constant transport ofthe goods needed for building the china eastern railway, a shopping center beganto take shape along this street at the turn of the century. harbin at that timewas a semi-colonial city with a foreign population of many thousands. politicsand economy were actually controlled by foreign powers. owing to theconcentration of chinese shops along this street, foreigners took it as a chinatown and called it china street.
Have you noticed the cobbled road surface? this is the only cobbled streetleft in harbin. this cobbled street was paved in1925. thanks to the goodquality, the street has kept in good shape with a few repairs in the past. thisstreet began to take shape as an international street in the1920s. there wereover a hundred shops and many were owned by forergners, such as russians,greeks, czechs, swedes, swiss, frenchmen, germans and englishmen. they builttheir shops in their individual styles. therefore, the street not only lookedlike a foreign street, but also was controlled by foreigners. now this smoothcobbled street may remind us of the past when foreigners were sitting inchariots along the street, as if we could still hear the horse-hoofs clicking oncobbles.
Over half a century is past , zhongyang street is weather-beaten. with theimplementation of reform and opening-up, it is ready to welcome visitors with anew outlook.
The building in front of us is very attractive. its some and arched windowsare typical of the byzantine style popular in europe during the middle ages. itwas built in1934and it was a shoe shop owned by a czech. after liberation, itbecame a specialty shop-women and children"s department store. it is the biggestspecialty shop along zhongyang street. there are a good variety of commodities.now some world famous specialty chains have also set up branches down here, suchas crocodile, bossini and so on. you can see some gentlemen also wandering inthe women and children"s department store. at such a good shopping place, theywill not walk out empty-handed.
Opposite the women and children"s department store is the central shoppingcity opened in november1994. on its original site there were five small storesrun by russians, which were built in1932. after liberation, they were turnedinto one department store. in1994, the old building was torn down, and thiscomprehensive department store was built. the architecture is a combination of aeuropean castle with modern architecture. it has become a new scenic spot onzhongyang street.

This shopping center was opened in1995. its original site was a shopmanaged by a swede. it dealt in china, porcelain and enamelware. afterliberation, it became a food-store. the building you see now was designed by afamous architect in heilongjiang. it is a masterpiece of adopting reliefsculptures in modern construction. this building is an attractive site inzhongyang street.
The nost interesting building along zhongyang street is the modern hotel.it was constructed in1913. it is of an attractive outlook and magnificentlydecorated. it has a typical baroque style of the neo-artistic period. at first,it was invested and managed by a jewish frenchman. the origin of its chinesename once aroused the interest of many people. there was a column in newspaperfor debating its origin. some held its chinese name came from the word "mother",some said it came from "modern". however, modern seemed to overwhelm mother asyou can see the hotel now used the modern hotel as its english name.
Modern hotel has all the facilities of a modern hotel includingwell-decorated suites, dining rooms and medium and small-sized meeting rooms ineuropean palatial styles. there is a legendary oil painting hanging on a wall onthe landing of the first floor. it was painted a famous russian painter. he wasinspired by "divine comedy"composed by dante. it shows a pretty girl saved byangels from confinement by insects and demons;the girl who endured tortures inhell was about to rise to heaven. this picture was painted red during thecultural revolution. after the cultural revolution, the original painting wasrestored. now we are able to appreciate its artistic charm.

Opposite the modern hotel, there is huamei restaurant. it was malserestaurant serving western food. after liberation, it was rebuilt several timesand two more stories have been added. however, its original european style hadbeen kept. it was reported in1973that there were260 western restaurants inharbin, with over100 concentrated along zhongyang street. huamei restaurant wasone of the best known. now it serves many specialties, such as russian dishes,potted cattle tail, french egg and fried prawns. it is said a russian celebritywho used to serve in the army once visited huamei. after dinner, he could nothelp praising delicious food served in huamei. he declared the russian disheshere surpassed those in russia. he would send chefs from russia to huamei tolearn to cook when he got back Home. now that you know huamei, your knowledge ofzhongyang street will not be complete if you have not tried the food here.
Further in the front, we can see the education bookstore. it wasconstructed in1909. it is a baroque construction, extravagant and novel, withbold lines and strong contrast. over the entrance, there are two staturs. theyare titans in greek fairy tales. the male is atlas and the female is galliached.it is said they hold up the sky with heads and shoulders. education relates tothe future of a country. may these titans hold up the building of education, andaccompany us to a prosperous tomorrow.

陕西西安大清真寺英文导游词
The Great Mosque at Huajue Lane
The Mosque is a major spot for religious activities of over 60.000 Moslems in Xi’an, likewise, an important cultural relic protected by the Provincial People’s Government. Unlike the Arabic mosques, with splendid domes, the minarets reaching into the clouds, the coulourful engraved sketches with dazzling patterns, the Mosque here in Xi’an possesses much Chinese traditional touch in both its design and artistic outlook; besides the style peculiar to Islamic mosques, this Mosque also holds characteristics of Chinese pavilions with painted beams and engraved ridgepoles.
However, any further discussion about the Mosque will be futile unless anything of the introduction of Islam into China is brought up.
Islam as a religious order was founded in the early period of the 7th century A.D. and was introduced to China in the mid-600s. At that time, Arabian merchants and travelers came to the northwest of China by way of Persia and Afghanistan and thus established diplomatic, trade, and military contacts with China. In the meantime, another route saw a batch of sea voyagers through Bangladesh Bay and the Malacca Strait to China’s Guangzhou, Quanzhou, Huangzhou, Yangzhou and other cities where many of them settled down and married the local women who later gave birth to babies who then became Moslems.
However, massive immigration of the Moslems to China did not take place until as late as the early period of the 13th century, when Genghis Khan, as a result of his expedition against the west, had conquered vast expanses of land stretching from Central Asia to Eastern Europe, including the north of Iran. Many of the Moslems in the conquered areas were thus forced to enlist and later settled in China.
Among the enlisted many were soldiers, and some were smiths and officials who were called the Hui people in the history books on the Yuan dynasty. The Hui people later followed Kublai Khan down to the south, helping him unifying China and then establish the Yuan dynasty. In the wake of the conquest, Islam spread all over China and mosques began to appear everywhere. In the Yuan dynasty, many Moslems held positions both in the military and civilian organs of the country. And a lot of the Moslems took part in Zhu Yuanzhang’s uprising in the early 14th century and made great contributions to the founding of the Ming Dynasty. Therefore, all the emperors of the Dynasty issued mandates to protect Islam, and to set up mosques in praise of the Moslems for their feats. In the early 16th century, Islam predominated Qinghai on the minority nationalities including the Huis, the Uygurs, the Kazaks, the Kirgizes, the Tajiks, the Tartars, the Ozbeks, the Dong Xiangs, the Salars and the Bonans. The Moslems in Xi’an are mainly the Huis, being a small portion out of the ten million in China.
The Mosque at Hua Jue Lane is the largest in Xi’an, and at the same time, it is also one of the earliest built on a comparatively large scale, and well preserved mosques in China.
According to “the Stele on the Building of the Mosque”, the mosque is said to be built in the Tang Dynasty. However, the architectural style of the mosque suggests a possible building dating back to the Ming Dynasty. The four courtyards of the mosque cover an area of more than 12,000 square meters, out of which about 4,000 are occupied by various structures. The still intact wooden front memorial gateway of the front yard, built at the turn of the 17th century, with glazed tiles on the top, spectacular corners and upturned eaves, is about 9 metres high, and has a history of about 360 years. The stone memorial gateway in the center of the second courtyard is flanked with a tail stele on either side with dragons carved on each, recording the repair work ever since the building of the Mosque. On the back of one of the steles are engraved characters by the master calligrapher Mi Fu, “May Buddhism Fill the Universe”, on the other, “Royal -Bestowed”by Dong Qichang, another master of the same art of the Ming dynasty. They are treasures in Chinese calligraphy. At the entrance of the third courtyard is an imperial built hall, where a “month tablet”, showing the calculation of the Hui Calendars in Arabic, is stored. It was compiled by a man in charge of the mosque called Xiao Mining in the early period of the Qing dynasty. A three –storeyed octagonal wooden structure called “Retrospection Tower”also stands in the center of the courtyard, which has the same function as the minaret in Islamic temples in Arabic countries, and which is a place from where orders were sent to call the Moslems to come to worship. Respectively, on the south and north wings of the tower, are a reception chamber and a Scripture Chamber, both elegantly laid out. The five wooden houses, which are called “Water Houses”in the southwest section of the Mosque are the place where the believers bathe themselves before they attend their services. And in side the fourth courtyard there is a structure called “the Pavilion of Phoenix”, a place where the worshipers used to wait for the services. The Pavilion, in fact, is a compound structure of three small buildings. The six-gabled structure of the central part, adjoining the two three-gabled buildings on each side looks very much like a flying phoenix, and hence its name. Just at the back of the Pavilion, there is a fishpond, beyond which is a platform occupying an area as large as 700 m2. Across both ends of the platform stands the 1,300 square metered service hall, holding over a thousand worshipers at once. There are over six hundred sunk panels well as the sunk panels, are decorated with patterns of painted trailing plants and Arabic letterings. The imam leads his group of worshipers, while facing in the direction of Mecca, to chant in Koran and to pay their religious homage.
The Moslems in China share very much the same customs with their brothers and sisters elsewhere in the world. They worship five times a day: at dawn, at noon, in the afternoon, at dusk, and at night. Female worshipers attend their services in a separated place from their brothers, usually at home. Moslems pay special attention to their health and see that they always wear clean clothes. They are teetotalers not only of wine, but also of pork and animal blood for in Koran pigs have been mentioned four times as being “unclean”. According to Koran, a man can have four wives and women should wear veils when they go out. However, except a few places in Xinjiang, the Chinese practise monogamy and women are veiless when they go out. Upon his death, a Moslem has to be “thoroughly cleaned”(thoroughly bathed), has to be put on “Ke Fan”(to be shrouded with a piece of white cloth) and has to be buried coffinless in the ground, with an imam reciting Scriptures at the funeral.
The Chinese constitution promulgates that freedom of religion of each citizen and freedom of preserving or reforming local customs for every nationality are permitted. And of course, the Moslems in China enjoy equal rights with peoples of other nationalities and their religious beliefs and customs are respected everywhere in the country.

Overglaze painting is a kind of decoration technique that paintingdecoration is carried out on the fired porcelain body, and then barbecue atabout 800 ℃ to make the picture solidify on the surface of porcelain aftermelting.
As early as the song and Yuan Dynasties, Jingdezhen porcelain workers beganto use color materials containing metal oxides to decorate the surface ofporcelain. In the Xuande period of the Ming Dynasty, the imperial kilnsuccessfully fired blue and white porcelain with underglaze blue and white andoverglaze color. After the mid Ming Dynasty, Chenghua doucai and Wanli blue andwhite wucai (blue and white as one of the five colors of colored porcelain iscalled blue and white wucai). )In the early Qing Dynasty, after the emergence ofblue glaze, the glazed porcelain began to break away from the constraints ofblue and white and become an independent category of porcelain decoration.Kangxi five colors (red, green, yellow, blue, black) are thick and colorful,also known as "hard color", and Jingdezhen called them "ancient color".
In Yongzheng period, based on the five colors of Kangxi period, Jingdezhenporcelain workers, referring to the production process of enamel color (thecolor material of imperial utensils of Qing Dynasty), mixed the glass materialcontaining arsenic oxide into the color material containing lead to producemilky white effect. This kind of glass material containing arsenic was called"glass white" by Jingdezhen porcelain workers. Based on Kangxi five colors, ifglass white is added to the color materials, all colors will be "powdered" intodifferent shades, and the colors of the color materials will become pinkishcolors, such as red into pink, green into pink, and so on. These warm and moistintermediate colors not only give people a soft feeling of powder moistening,but also expand the range of colors of overglaze colors, so that colors can berendered, with layers, shades, clear Yin and Yang, and the painting method canbe more meticulous. Because it is characterized by a pink white tone, peoplecall it pastel, and Jingdezhen porcelain workers also call it "soft color".
Pastel decoration is characterized by bright colors, soft powder, richcolors, gorgeous elegance, fine brushwork and freehand brushwork. It has strongexpressive force in the decoration of figures, landscapes, flowers and birds,and is full of traditional Chinese painting style. The famille rose porcelainwas the most famous in Yongzheng period. In this period, the overglaze porcelainhas developed to a stage where a hundred flowers vie with each other. It marksthat the development of Chinas traditional overglaze porcelain has reached avery high level.

篇11:2025年湖北明显陵的导游词
在大殿的两侧各有配殿五间,这些配殿主要是在举行祭祀活动时供奉神牌、存放祭祀品及咒语念经的地方。
陵恩殿后面的这个门叫陵寝门,这陵寝门只供帝、后、妃们进入,其他王公大臣们是不得入内的,陵寝门后还有一道二柱门,大家看这两根很高大的石柱上刻有一只獬豸,虎视眈眈,守卫着陵寝。二柱门后面正中就是石五供,石五供是专供帝、后、妃们祭祀谒陵的供台,由一个香炉,两个烛台,两个花瓶组成,均由青白石雕琢而成,请大家看这石香炉的炉顶,雕刻着海波、云、龙面纹,非常精美。据说,这石香炉只有后来的皇帝谒陵时才能开启炉顶使用,显陵每年都要举行数次规模不等的祭祀活动,其中尤以清明、中元(7 月 15 日)和冬至为最盛,称三大祭。
各位贵宾,这座雄伟高大的城楼式建筑,叫方城明楼,上挂“显陵”两个大字,它是整个陵寝的标志性建筑,是专为供奉“圣号碑”而修建的。其实显陵原叫“献陵”,因当年兴王朱佑元四后溢号为“献”,其忘坟即称为“献陵”嘉靖三年三月,朱厚璁以武力平息大礼仪之争后,为他的父亲钦定陵号为“显陵”,“显陵显者,光也书泰,誓之词曰:唯我皇考,若日月之照临,光于四方,显于西土。”意思是他父亲德配天地,圣功显赫,应让普天之下都知道,并象日月一样永寸万年。由此可见朱厚璁为推尊私亲,实施“嘉靖新政”而费尽了心思。明楼木体结构于明末毁于李自成农民起义军兵火,仅存残垣断壁,现在的明楼是1990 年修复的。
我们现在来到的这个小院落,俗称哑巴院,这里四全陵神道的起点,也是终止点。这个小院看起来并没有什么奇特之处,实际上却隐藏着巨大的玄机:这座琉璃影壁表面上起着美化装饰作用,更重要的是它遮挡着地宫的入口。院内的神道下面是进入地宫的斜坡墓道,昔日帝后的棺椁就是从这个斜坡慢慢送入地宫的。我国历代封建帝王都实行厚葬,正所谓“厚葬以明孝”,死后还把大量珍奇异宝葬入地宫,因此帝王们最担心的就是陵寝被盗。能不能有效防止地宫被盗,这地宫入口的保密就显得至关重要,所以小院工程所用的工匠都是哑巴,他们白天休息,夜间施工,上下工的路上都蒙着眼睛,使他们不识路途,不知道这里的地点,完工后,把他们遣送到人烟稀少的边远地区居住,因这个院子是由哑巴修的,所以叫哑巴院。当然这只是传说,还有待专家的考证。
好,现在请大家随我一起参观显陵最具有特色,也是中外陵墓史上绝无仅有的奇观,那就是一陵两冢!何为一陵两冢?就是一座陵园内有两座墓冢。那么为什么其他陵墓无此现象而独显陵有呢?这还要从墓主前后身份变化说起:明正德14 年也就是 1519年,墓主朱佑元因病去世,当时他只是一个潘王,依封建礼制,他的陵墓即按潘王的规制建造,我们现在看到的这个前墓冢,既是当年兴献王朱佑元死后的坟墓。
篇12:北京恭王府英文导游词
Prince Gongs house used to be the home of Wang Shen, the most greedy onein all ages. Later, Emperor Jiaqing made twenty-four charges and confiscated hishouse. Because the last host was Prince Gongs Aixinjueluo, it was called PrinceGongs mansion.
There are two dragon veins in Beijing, one is the central axis of Beijing,the other is the moat. The Palace Museum is located at the head of the centralaxis. Prince Gongqins residence is located at the intersection of the twodragon veins. He and Wang Shen once boasted: "the emperor sits on the dragonshead, I sit on the dragons tail. Although the dragons head is in charge of theoverall situation, it still needs the dragons tail to do great things.&"Listen, he and Wang Shen are so ambitious that they deserve to be thefirst greedy people of all ages.";!
There are 9999 bats in Prince Gongqins mansion;. This is not a real bat,but a bat like building. Wang Shen and Wang Shen wanted to be happy, so theytook the homonym of "Fu" and built 9999 bats;.
When you enter the door, the first thing you see is a huge bat;. This is abat like pond called "Fu Chi";. Rockery and gravel are randomly scattered on theBank of the pool. Elm trees are planted around Fuchi. The fruit and leaf of elmtrees are like copper coins. When the fruit and leaf like copper coins fall intoFuchi, Wang Shen and I will laugh and laugh: & lt; money falling from thesky enters my & lsquo; cornucopia & gt;, and the money on the groundalso flows into Wang Shen and I. &"Thats true!
We followed the gurgling water of Fuchi and came to a door. This is abeautiful western gate with bright colors and fine workmanship. It is said thatthis is one of his 24 counts. Because this western gate was made after thewestern gate in the royal garden.
After entering the western gate and bypassing the stone carving of "SongziGuanyin", it is the opera garden with Wang Shens family. In front of the playgarden is a garden, with some flowers in the trim bushes. The play "Xiangfeiplays butterfly" in huanzhuge was shot here. Only two places in Beijing arecovered with green bricks. One is the Taihe hall in the Forbidden City, and theother is the stage with Wang Shens family. Because the sound amplificationeffect of the green brick is very good, singing on the stage does not need anysound amplification tools. In such a large theater, everyone can hear music, andit is also a great honor to stand on the stage full of green bricks and sing forthe powerful ministers such as Wang Shen.
Through the well carved Zhulan corridor, you come to the study with WangShen. The study is surrounded by rockery and bamboo groves, quiet and quiet. Thewhole Gongqin palace is not built with stone bricks. This study is made of aspecial kind of bamboo. It is warm in winter and cool in summer. Wang Shen and Ilike to stay here most.
Out of the study, the magnificent building in front is the main hall — & mdash; and the place where Wang Shen meets visitors. To get to themain hall, there is a very special road. There is only one ladder, and thenthere is a straight and gentle slope road, because I told Wang Shen that in hislife, he had suffered only when he was young, and then he went all the way tothe peak of power. We can cross the bottom of the ladder, avoid suffering, andgo straight to the top;.
There is a story: when the Empress Dowager of Xiaozhuang was very old andsick, she loved her grandson Emperor Kangxi very much and was very depressed. Heasked Su malagu, his maid, to prepare her pen and paper, and with a stroke ofher pen, she wrote "Fu". After finishing the writing, Xuanye and Su malagu lookat the word "Fu" and are stunned & mdash; & mdash; the word is powerfuland natural. If you look closely, you can see many phrases: more fields, moresons, more talents, more longevity & hellip; & hellip; isnt this thewish of the emperors grandmother? The more Emperor Kangxi saw it, the moresatisfied he was, he ordered people to put the word "Fu" on a huge stone. As aresult, the empress dowager, who had been ill for a long time, soon recovered.Emperor Kangxi was so happy that he decided to pass on this auspicious andauspicious stone from generation to generation, so that the Aixinjueluo familycould prosper from generation to generation.
Unfortunately, when it reached Qianlong, it was stolen out of the palace.This person is Wang Shen. Now this stone is at the foot of our main hall, onlyshowing the side with the word "Fu". This & quot; blessing & quot; isthe 10th blessing of Prince Gongqins mansion, which means & quot; tenthousand blessings & quot;. And Wang Shen also said with an air: & lt;the emperor is & lsquo; long live & gt;, I am & lsquo; Wanfu >! & gt; later, when Emperor Jiaqing copied his house, he wanted to movethe Fushi back to the palace, but he still didnt. He and Wang Shen are toocunning. He built a bat like Fushan with stones, and built a dragon on the leftand right of the word "Fu", implying that "the Dragon sits on the RiverMountain". Emperor Jiaqing didnt want to destroy himself, so he left thestone.
Just now, we are going up the road. Now lets step on the dragonspulse.
After walking along the pond in front of Fushan, you can come to thefishing pool with Wang Shens family. You can walk on a red stone boat to theDiaoyutai in the center of the pool. To the south of the Diaoyutai, there aresome grotesque rockeries, and the pool is full of green plants. Willow trees areplanted on the rocks to the north. Their bodies sway with the wind, which makesthem look like they came to Baotu Spring in Jinan. But when I look back, I findthat I havent left Prince Gongqins residence yet: the railings of Diaoyutaiare engraved with bat patterns that only prince Gongqins residence in Beijinghas.
On the North Bank of the fishing pond, there is also an attic with apeculiar shape. In front of the attic, plants and trees are planted. It is saidthat Prince Gong Yi Chen Jin sent people to make it according to the shape ofthe flag head on Empress Dowager Cixis head. Yi Chen Jin hated Empress DowagerCixi very much and said, "if you play with me, Im going to bully you!".
After visiting Prince Gongqins mansion, I look back again and look at thishistoric mansion. I have mixed feelings in my heart: when people who lived herereached the peak of their career, they didnt know that they were on the end ofthe road of power and money.

篇15:圆明园的英文导游词
大家好,我叫吴沛城。很荣幸为大家服务,希望通过我对大家的服务,能给你们的旅途带来欢乐。
今天我们参观圆明园,圆明园位于北京市西郊,海淀区东部。原为清代一座大型皇家御苑,占地约5200亩,平面布置呈倒置的品字形。圆明园由圆明、长春、绮春三圆组成,总面积达350公顷。我们的车已经来到了圆明园,请大家下车参观,注意事项有:不得乱丢垃圾、不能用小刀刻画。
看着眼前断壁残垣的圆明园,你能想到它辉煌的过去吗?昔日的圆明园是一座举世闻名的皇家园林,从康熙到咸丰6个皇帝每年总有三四个月在此居住。圆中有金碧辉煌的殿堂,玲珑剔透的亭台楼阁,许多景物都是仿造各地名胜建造的。漫步圆中,你不仅可以看见民族建筑,还能看见西洋景观,仿佛置身于梦境里。这里不但建筑宏伟,还收藏着最珍贵的历史文物,上自先秦时代的青铜器,下至唐、宋、元、明、清历代的名人书画和各种奇珍异宝。所以当时它被称为世界上最大的博物馆和艺术馆。但是1860年10月6日,英法联军入侵北京,闯进圆明园。他们不但掠夺,还肆意破坏,为了销毁罪证他们还放火烧了三天三夜,烟雾笼罩了整个北京城。这座皇家园林就这样化为灰烬。
做为一名中国人,我们一定要铭记这段屈辱的历史,我相信终有一天我们会让圆明园恢复本来的面貌。

篇17:西湖英文导游词
Talks about here, I saw some friends already carefully wereobserving,perhaps you immediately could ask: This bridge has notsimply broken, why has toname "breaks the bridge"? This question letsme explain. Breaks the bridge isfamous Xihu one of ten scenery,because breaks the position back city surfacemountain which thebridge locates, is in North In the lake and outside a lakeminute waterdrop, the field of vision is open, is the winter watches theXihusnowscape best place.

Talks about here, perhaps everybodyalreadyunderstood, originally was "the dike breaks the bridge tobeunceasing".
Fellow friends: The Xihu coast landscape introduced here, meets us towatchin the lake three islands.
First we look at in Xihu most Oshima "Three deep pools India month", alsocalls thesmall sea state. This is "in the lake has the island, in the islandhasthe lake" in the lake the garden.

篇18:西安大清真寺英文导游词
The Mosque is a major spot for religious activities of over 60.000 Moslems in Xi’an, likewise, an important cultural relic protected by the Provincial People’s Government. Unlike the Arabic mosques, with splendid domes, the minarets reaching into the clouds, the coulourful engraved sketches with dazzling patterns, the Mosque here in Xi’an possesses much Chinese traditional touch in both its design and artistic outlook; besides the style peculiar to Islamic mosques, this Mosque also holds characteristics of Chinese pavilions with painted beams and engraved ridgepoles.
However, any further discussion about the Mosque will be futile unless anything of the introduction of Islam into China is brought up.
Islam as a religious order was founded in the early period of the 7th century A.D. and was introduced to China in the mid-600s. At that time, Arabian merchants and travelers came to the northwest of China by way of Persia and Afghanistan and thus established diplomatic, trade, and military contacts with China. In the meantime, another route saw a batch of sea voyagers through Bangladesh Bay and the Malacca Strait to China’s Guangzhou, Quanzhou, Huangzhou, Yangzhou and other cities where many of them settled down and married the local women who later gave birth to babies who then became Moslems.
However, massive immigration of the Moslems to China did not take place until as late as the early period of the 13th century, when Genghis Khan, as a result of his expedition against the west, had conquered vast expanses of land stretching from Central Asia to Eastern Europe, including the north of Iran. Many of the Moslems in the conquered areas were thus forced to enlist and later settled in China.
Among the enlisted many were soldiers, and some were smiths and officials who were called the Hui people in the history books on the Yuan dynasty. The Hui people later followed Kublai Khan down to the south, helping him unifying China and then establish the Yuan dynasty. In the wake of the conquest, Islam spread all over China and mosques began to appear everywhere. In the Yuan dynasty, many Moslems held positions both in the military and civilian organs of the country. And a lot of the Moslems took part in Zhu Yuanzhang’s uprising in the early 14th century and made great contributions to the founding of the Ming Dynasty. Therefore, all the emperors of the Dynasty issued mandates to protect Islam, and to set up mosques in praise of the Moslems for their feats. In the early 16th century, Islam predominated Qinghai on the minority nationalities including the Huis, the Uygurs, the Kazaks, the Kirgizes, the Tajiks, the Tartars, the Ozbeks, the Dong Xiangs, the Salars and the Bonans. The Moslems in Xi’an are mainly the Huis, being a small portion out of the ten million in China.
The Mosque at Hua Jue Lane is the largest in Xi’an, and at the same time, it is also one of the earliest built on a comparatively large scale, and well preserved mosques in China.
According to the Stele on the Building of the Mosque”, the mosque is said to be built in the Tang Dynasty. However, the architectural style of the mosque suggests a possible building dating back to the Ming Dynasty. The four courtyards of the mosque cover an area of more than 12,000 square meters, out of which about 4,000 are occupied by various structures. The still intact wooden front memorial gateway of the front yard, built at the turn of the 17th century, with glazed tiles on the top, spectacular corners and upturned eaves, is about 9 metres high, and has a history of about 360 years. The stone memorial gateway in the center of the second courtyard is flanked with a tail stele on either side with dragons carved on each, recording the repair work ever since the building of the Mosque. On the back of one of the steles are engraved characters by the master calligrapher Mi Fu, May Buddhism Fill the Universe”, on the other, Royal -Bestowed”by Dong Qichang, another master of the same art of the Ming dynasty. They are treasures in Chinese calligraphy. At the entrance of the third courtyard is an imperial built hall, where a month tablet”, showing the calculation of the Hui Calendars in Arabic, is stored. It was compiled by a man in charge of the mosque called Xiao Mining in the early period of the Qing dynasty. A three –storeyed octagonal wooden structure called Retrospection Tower”also stands in the center of the courtyard, which has the same function as the minaret in Islamic temples in Arabic countries, and which is a place from where orders were sent to call the Moslems to come to worship. Respectively, on the south and north wings of the tower, are a reception chamber and a Scripture Chamber, both elegantly laid out. The five wooden houses, which are called Water Houses”in the southwest section of the Mosque are the place where the believers bathe themselves before they attend their services. And in side the fourth courtyard there is a structure called the Pavilion of Phoenix”, a place where the worshipers used to wait for the services. The Pavilion, in fact, is a compound structure of three small buildings. The six-gabled structure of the central part, adjoining the two three-gabled buildings on each side looks very much like a flying phoenix, and hence its name. Just at the back of the Pavilion, there is a fishpond, beyond which is a platform occupying an area as large as 700 m2. Across both ends of the platform stands the 1,300 square metered service hall, holding over a thousand worshipers at once. There are over six hundred sunk panels well as the sunk panels, are decorated with patterns of painted trailing plants and Arabic letterings. The imam leads his group of worshipers, while facing in the direction of Mecca, to chant in Koran and to pay their religious homage.
The Moslems in China share very much the same customs with their brothers and sisters elsewhere in the world. They worship five times a day: at dawn, at noon, in the afternoon, at dusk, and at night. Female worshipers attend their services in a separated place from their brothers, usually at home. Moslems pay special attention to their health and see that they always wear clean clothes. They are teetotalers not only of wine, but also of pork and animal blood for in Koran pigs have been mentioned four times as being unclean”. According to Koran, a man can have four wives and women should wear veils when they go out. However, except a few places in Xinjiang, the Chinese practise monogamy and women are veiless when they go out. Upon his death, a Moslem has to be thoroughly cleaned”(thoroughly bathed), has to be put on Ke Fan”(to be shrouded with a piece of white cloth) and has to be buried coffinless in the ground, with an imam reciting Scriptures at the funeral.
The Chinese constitution promulgates that freedom of religion of each citizen and freedom of preserving or reforming local customs for every nationality are permitted. And of course, the Moslems in China enjoy equal rights with peoples of other nationalities and their religious beliefs and customs are respected everywhere in the country.

but our country once appeared three to construct the great wall thepeak, respectively was the qin great wall, the chinese great wall,bright great wall. chin shihhuang in 221 b.c. unified area south ofyellow river, has established the qin dynasty, in order to strengthenthe rule north, defends nomads invasion, therefore will send thesenior general to hoodwink 恬 300,000 armies and very many laborforces the original north swallow, zhao, the qin great wall haslinked, and performed to expand, the lasted 9 years constructed westnear 洮 east to be continuous wan li to liaodong the great wall, thisalso will be in the chinese history the together great wall. to thehan dynasty, martial emperor of han dynasty also was for strengthenthe defense, "was not called hu madu the yin", has constructed anearly 20,000 mile great wall, simultaneously this also has protectedthe new development silk road, the chinese great wall is the qin greatwall together the front position and the defense line, west itxinjiang, east arrived liaodong, was in the chinese history constructsthe great wall longest dynasty. 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 , 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!
篇20:英文导游词范文
ladies and gentlemen:
welcome to the temple of heaven. (after self-introduction) preserved cultural heritages of china. there are basically two kinds of visitors who come here: local pensioners who do exercises here in the morning and evening and sightseers both from home and abroad. all in all ,there are 12 million visitors very year. now we are going to go along the route that leads to the alter. it will take roughly one hour. mind you ,the emperor also walked along this route to pay tribute to the god of heaven.
the largest group of architectures ever to be dedicated to heaven ,the temple of heaven served as an exclusive altar for chinese monarchs during the ming and qing dynasties. it was decreed that rulers of successive dynasties would place altars in their own capitals to worship heaven and pray for good harvest. but why ?
the ancient chinese believed that heaven was the supreme ruler of the universe and the fate of mankind,and thus worshiping rites dedicated to heaven came into being.
the heaven the ancient chinese referred to was actually the universe, or nature. in those days, there were specfic rites of worship. this was especially true during the ming and qing dynasties when elaborate ceremonies were held.
the temple of heaven was built in 1420 during the reign of emperor youngle of the ming dynasty. situated in the southern part of the city ,this grand set of structures covers an area of 273 hectares. to better symbolize heaven and earth ,the northern part of the temple is circular while the southern part is square .the whole compound is enclosed by two walls, a square wall outside a round one. the outer area is characterized by suburban scenery, while the inner part is used for sacrifices. the inner enclosure consists of the hall of prayer for good harvest and the circular mound altar.
the circular mound altar is enclosed by two walls ,each containing four groups of southern lattice star gate, each in turn consisting of three doors, with 24 marble doors altogether. standing on the passage facing north, you will notice that with each pair of doors on is narrower than the other. this reflects the feudal hierarchy: the wider door was reserved for monarchs, while the narrower one was used by courtiers.
on the day of the ceremony ,the emperor would don his ritual costume and be ushered in by the official in charge of religious affairs. he ascended the three terraces in the forefront to pay tribute at the alter.
we are now on the top terrace of the altar, or the third terrace .each terrace has a flight of 9 steps. at the center of this terrace lies a round stone surrounded by 9 steps. at the center of this terrace lies a round stone surrounded by 9 concentric rings of stone. the number of stones in the first ring is 9, in the second ,18, up to 81 in the 9th ring. even the number of carved balustrades on these terraces is a multiplee of 9. but why?
according to ancient chinese philosophy, yin and yang were two opposing factors. heaven and the odd numbers belonged to yang while the earth and even numbers belonged to yin. nine was the largest heavenly number accessible to man . what is more, the ancient people also believed that heaven consisted of nine layers and that the emperor` s abode was on the uppermost tier.
once more look at the round stone in the center. the upper terrace is nine zhang (a chinese unit of length, one zhang equals 3.3 meters ) in circumference ,while the middle is 15 zhang, the lower,21 zhang. classified as yang numbers, the sum of these numerals is 45 zhang which was meant to symbolized success. what is more, by applying the concept of odd numbers and strengthening nine and its multiples, the concept of heaven was thus illustrated and realized . the concept of nine will also be mentioned when we visit some other buildings.
now i will give you a brief account of what happened here annually on the inter solstice. the memorial tablet dedicated to heaven would be set up on the north side of the terrace, while tablets dedicated to the emperor `s ancestors would be enshrined on the flanks. the service would begin around 4 o` clock in the morning. all of the lanterns would be lit .in the foreground, a sacrificial calf is being barbecued. on the square in front of the altar, the emperor, under heavy escort of nearly a thousand courtiers, princes of royal blood ,musicians, dancers and uniformed soldiers, would slowly ascend the altar to offer sacrifice and pray in honor of heaven. when the service drew to a close ,the sacrifice offered in front of the memorial tablets would be incinerated .all of participants would watch the thick smoke rise upward as if they were seeing god off .music and dancing would follow .in the end ,the emperor would return to the forbidden city secure in the belief that he would be blessed and protected by heaven until the next winter solstice.
it is interesting to note that ,the stone in the very middle of the altar was of major importance ,since it was where the emperor used to stand to say his prayer. the stone ,which is known as the god`s heart stone, is peculiar in that it is characterized by a specific acoustic phenomenon: it made the emperor` s voice clearer and louder, thus adding to the mystic atmosphere of the service .you can try this out by yourself. (proceed northward to pass through the lattice stargate)
this structure is known as heaven` s storehouse. it is entered through the gate of glazed tiles. the roofing,beams, and brackets are all made of glazed tiles or bricks. this is the only structure of its kind in china today .
the heaven` s storehouse was where memorial tablets dedicated to the gods were kept. douglas hurd, a former british foreigh secretary ,once said , “god attends to his affairs on the cir4cular mound altar but stays here. ” now let` s go in to to see it (go through the left side door)
(in the courtyard of heaven` s storehouse)this is the imperial vault of heaven, the main structure of heaven` s storehouse. it was built in 1530 and is 17 meters in height and 19 meters in diameter. the structure feature blue roofs topped by a gilded ball ,and carved wooden doors and windows. it is decorated with colored paintings. founded on a 3-meter-hign round marble terrace ,the building also features a gigantic carved marble ramp laid in the stone staircase leading up to the front entrance.. the ramp is carved in “two dragons playing with a pearl ” design in relief. we will enter the main hall by going up the stone staircase on the eastern side.
the arch of the hall is buttressed by 16 giant pillars on two rings. on top of the pillars there are gilt brackets supporting a circular caisson ,or covered ceiling .the ceiling is characterized by a golden coiling dragon design. the 8 pillar of the inner ring are painted scarlet and decorated with golden lotuses.
to the north of the hall there is a marble pedestal. atop it ,up a wooden flight of 9 steps, is where the major tablet dedicate to heaven was enshrined. on each flank four tablets are enshrined in honor of the ancestors of the qing emperors. in the annex hall in hornor of the ancestors of the qing emperors. in the annex halls in the courtyard, there are tablets dedicated to the deities of the sun, moon ,constellation, cloud ,rain, wind and thunder.
aside from exquisitely laid out architectures, heaven` s storehouse is also famous for two structures with peculiar acoustic features, i. e. the echo wall and the triple- sound stone. a mere whisper at any point close to the wall can be heard clearly on the other side, although the parties may be 40 or 50 meters apart. this is possible because the wall is round and hermetically constructed with smooth ,solid bricks.
in front of the steps leading away from the halls is the triple sound stone. if you stand on the first stone and call out or clap your hands, the sound will echo once; on the second stone, the sound will be heard twice; and on the third stone, the sound will repeat three times. hence the name. (go out through the right door and stroll along the circular path nor thward)
the temple of heaven is also famous for its cypress trees-there are more than 60,000 cypress trees in all,among which over 4,000 are more than one hundred years old ,adding to the solemn atmosphere of the temple .this tall cypress was planted more than 500 years ago. its thick branches and twisting trunk resembling nine coiling playful dragons; thus it is known as the nine-dragon cypress. it is said that this tree was here to welcome the monarchs. now it is here to welcome visitor from all over the world.
Now we are back again on the central axis. this brick-arched gate is known as chengzhen (adopting fidelity) .this gate is the northern gate of the circular mound altar and the hall of prayer for good harvest. the hall of prayer for good harvest is situated at the extreme end of the axis. it was used by the emperor in the first month of every lunar year for services dedicated to good harvest.
entering the hall of prayer for good harvest, we set foot on a raised passage 360 meters long, which the emperor also took to proceed to the hall. this broad north-south walkway, called danbiqiao (red stairway bridge), connects the two sets of main building in the temple of heaven and constitutes a single axis.
the passage is divided into left, control and right paths by the cross arrangement of slabs. the central and the widest path is known as heavenly thoroughfare , which was reserved exclusively for god; nobody, including the emperor, was allowed to set foot onto it . the emperor used the path on the east,which is known as the imperial walk. the ministers and princes used the one on the west .interesting enough ,there is no walkway left for ordinary people. this is because the temple of heaven used to be off-limits to them.
contrary to appearances, this walkway is not a bridge at all . but how so ? this road is 4 meters above the ground and there is a cavern underneath that was reserved for sacrificial oxen and sheep. the cattle were slaughtered at a slaughterhouse about 500 meters away and brought here for sacrifice. all in all ,it can be said this walkway did serve as bridge and can be looked upon as the first cloverleaf in beijing.
looking back at the thoroughfare, you may realize that this walk is gaining height toward its northern end. as people approach the architectural group of the hall of prayer for good harvest, the flanking groves of cypress recede and perspective widens. here you are in heaven.
the marble terrace up ahead is called jufutai, or costumechanging terrace. it is located to the east of the red stairway bridge and covers a space of 25 square meters .it has marble slab balustrades. the day before the service ,officials in charge would put up a yellow satin tent on the terrace for the emperor to change out of his yellow dragon robe into blue ceremonial clothes. after the service,the emperor would return to the tentand change back into his imperial robe before returning to the palace. (proceed to the south gate of the hall of prayer for good harvest)
this structure is called the gate of pray for good harvest. we can catch a slight glimpse of the central building ,the hall of prayer for good harvest, though the colonnade of the gate. a gigantic and lofty group of buildings, the complex includes the gate of prayer for good harvest, the hall of prayer for good harvest, eastern and western annex halls ,the huanqian (imperial heaven) long corridor, heaven kitchen, slaughterhouse, etc.
the annex halls were symmetrically built on a 1.5-meter-hignbrick-and-marble terrace ,to set off the loftiness and magnificence of the main hall .this unique building ,38 meters in height, is characterized by a cone-shaped structure with triple eaves and a top that is crowned by a gilt ball. the roofing is made of blue glazed tiles, the color of the sky .underneath the roof, the beams and bracket are decorated with colored paintings. the base of the structure is a triple-tiered, circular marble terrace. at a distance, the terrace looks like a gigantic, spiraling cloud with the structure perched on top of it .
today the hall of prayer for good harvest is the hallmark of beijing, which enjoys a prolonged history of civilization.
the base of the hall is a triple-tiered, circular marble terrace, which is 90 meters in diameter and 6 meters in height ,covering a space of 4,000 square meters. meticulous accuracy was given to the layout of the structure. in the middle of each three-tiered flight of stairs, there is a giant marble ramp carved in cloud, dragon and phoenix designs. to set off the ramps, the top of the balustrades and downpipes are designed with corresponding floral scrolls. in southern part of each tier, a gigantic bronze incense burner is placed. sandalwood was burnt in them when rites were observed.
(in front of the hall of prayer for good harvest) climbing up this marble terrace, we see the main hall,a masterpiece of ancient china. looking up you will see the caisson, or covered ceiling, characterized by complex designs of dragons and phoenixes. in and out , the hall is decorated with colored drawing of dragons and phoenixes.
without the use of steel ,cement and nail, and even without the use of big beams and crossbeams,the entire structure is supported by 28 massive wooden pillars and number of bars, laths, joints and rafters. the four central pillars, called the dragon-well pillars, are 19.2 meters high and painted with designs of composite followers, representing the four season. there are two rings of 12 scarlet pillars each. the inner ring represents the 12 months and the outer rings the 12 divisions of the day and night .between the two rings there are 24 partitioned spaces to mark the solar terms of the chinese lunar year. the pillars, 28 in number, also represent the 28 constellations in the universe- the ancient chinese believed that there were 28 constellations that made up the sky.
the center of the stone-paved floor is a round marble slab, which is 88.5 centimeters in diameter. interestingly, the slab features natural black and white veins, corresponding to the dragon-phoenix design on the ceiling. this particular slab is known as the dragon-phoenix stone and is regarded as a treasure inseparable from the hall.
the furnishings within the hall are placed in their original positions dating back to when emperor xianfeng ruled .in the forefront and above the throne are enshrined tablets in commemoration of heaven. on either table on each side tablets of the emperor` s ancestors were placed. each tablet is fronted by an altar. a total of 24 kinds of offering were made on it ,including soup, wine, assorted cereals, and a calf.
the sacrificial rites were observed in the wee hours of the morning, sometime in the first month of the chinese lunar year. because it was still dark, candles, lanterns and torches were lit. this lighting coupled with the incense being burnt inside the hall ,helped make the ceremony both grand and mystical.
by the time the service began,207 musicians and dancers would be performing on platforms outside the hall. the emperor, in his blue sacrificial robe and with an air of piety and sincerity, would walk slowly into the hall, kowtow, and offer wine and prayer in hornor of the deities and his ancestors. all of the offerings would then be taken to incinerators on the eastern side of the gate of prayer for good harvest. with this we conclude our visit to the temper of heaven. the feudal monarchs and their sacrificial rites have long vanished in history .however, this group of magnificent and lofty structures remain as a fine testament of the ancient chinese` s ingenuity and as one of the cultural heritages of mankind.
from the eastern gate of the hall of prayer for good harvest, we have now enter a 300-meter-long corridor. consisting of 72 sections, this corridor served as a connecting building between the slaughterhouse. heaven kitchen, and the main hall ,it is said that this once served as a sacrificial food production line. flanking the corridor are shopping stalls. you may find some souvenirs for your family and friend there.
well ,that is all for this tour. thank you for your attention. i look forward to your next visit. good luck and bon voyage.
