This architectural complex， Zhongshan Road， go sightseeing the area， the Huangpu River， Lu Jiazui in the as if music five spectra， the industrious Shanghai people seem between the string string the symbol， is composing most newly the most gorgeous music movement， is welcome fellow guests presence.

The powder can call Bund? Simple saying， it passed once was the desolate beach place which outside the Shanghai old city the reed grew thickly together.

In 1840 after first Opium War， the tight lock entrance to a country has been driven out by the colonizing ocean artillery， Shanghai also is compelled to ward off for the commercial port. Since then， all kinds of west foreign style construction hastens to ground along with colonizing but towers in abundance， to this century the beginning of 30s， Shanghai as soon as leapt into the far east biggest metropolis from seashore small Yi.

At present these have the Europe Renaissance time style the construction， although stems from hand of the identical design， also is not constructs at an age， but their construction style is such harmonious unification， the day becomes. From Jinling east road Bund to outside white temporary bridge long only 1.5 kilometer arcs in，height scattered about， is standing erect row after row 52 styles each different construction， has England -like， France -like， ancient Greece -like and so on. Same year many foreign banks， the general meeting， the consulate and so on converged to this， some East Wall Street the name， formed the old Shanghai semicolonial and semifeudal society a historical miniature.

New Bund 12 before are famous the Hongkong and Shanghai Bank， this building constructed in 1923， was in the style of antiquity Greece -like dome construction. The building for approaches the square the rectangular construction， high 5， a crown hemispheroid level goes against the vegetable to have 7 in addition， the steel portal frame construction.

Above the building bell all around worthy of looking at arrives is in luck， each 15 minutes play sound section of short tunes， melodious are deep， reputation 10 miles.

After the Hongkong and Shanghai Bank building and the customs building all stem from English designer Wilson， Shanghai kindly called they are the sisters building， at present was still one of Shanghais important symbols.

East Nanjing the street intersection two buildings are called the peaceful hotel. Sat north the Southern Dynasty this Lou Jianyu in 1906， at that time the name collected the hotel， was a Shanghai extant earliest hotel. It may take a historical construction， is the English Chinese world renaissance. This building most major characteristic is sets up the surface color red brick to make the waist line， Bai Qiangzhuan makes the cover， looks by far both gravely is elegant， and other style， the reality is a rare excellent work.

Bunds these constructions， all are the China working people industrious wisdom crystallization， simultaneously has also reflected western colonizing to Shanghais plundering and the aggression. Now in order to let the people understand these constructions the history， in front of each big front door hangs has the data plate which the Chinese and English compares.

Regarding Bund， the Shanghai person also passes for hers name along with the time changes. Shanghai persons is called old Bund， after the liberation liberation before Bund to be called as Bund， now the people approve her are new Bund. In the history occurs has seized Bund many times the scene， but each time all has the completely different historical significance. Since partys 11 sessions of three CCP plenary conferences， the China reform and open policy strategic center of gravity also from the south but north， Pudongs development and the promotion enable Shanghai to walk the nation reform and open policy most front. The spring breeze blew awakes the deep sleep many year Shanghai Bund， the Chinese and foreign financial organ in abundance has also seized Bund. Shanghai has made the clear nest directs the phoenix the significant action， the Bund finance street house big replacement， will attract everywhere the old customer reto come to settle down， again will reveal the far east Wall Street elegant demeanour.

For the change place beach appearance， the Shanghai peoples government performs Bund as the key point to transform.

This group span 826 meters， the width 45 meters， suppose 6 to 10 traffic lanes. This broad line of communication not merely is restricted in area Bund， it follows the reform and open policy step unceasingly to extend， north the Jiangwan five jiao fields， south arrive at the Nampo bridge. To the next the beginning of century， this north and south corridor long amounts to 15 kilometers， will become the sign landscape which the Shanghai traveling will go sightseeing.

We now walk this Bin Jiang main road quite has the characteristic. It not only collection culture， afforestation to a body， moreover the morning is the people practices the good place which the article practices martial arts，daytime is domestic and foreign goes sightseeing the tour world， evening is the ideal place which talks love to the lover， heard has many foreign friends all in admiration of somebodys fame to come to experience the life.

Everybody please looked that， In the Yenan east road Bund establishment subject will be for tomorrow the artistic landscape，will hug by 6 columns， with will have more than 80 years historical meteorological signal to become a group to the scenery. The customs building and the electronic waterfall clock also is quite has the fresh idea to the scenery.

Went sightseeing the area worthily to become to hold hundred Sichuan， is compatible Shanghai school characteristic culture scenery line which and gathered.

Strolls Bund， we unconsciously entered the Whangpoo River park. In mentioned this park， each Chinese all could not forget the former days foreign country big powers to hang the Chinese people and the dog did not have to enter in park entrance that block the sign， that notorious sign， let then Chinese people suffer the enormous shame! Now， looked at present that 60 meter high Shanghai people outstandingly talented monument， stands erect is facing the water place. The military might magnificent sight three columns yellow hillocks body in has told the people as if， the people forever cherishes the memory of since the Opium War， 54 movements and the war of liberation， is the scrubbing nationality shame， devotes the heroes for Shanghais revolutionary business.

The Whangpoo River park faces is well-known everywhere Huangpu River. On month Huanglong waters edge water yellow， extremely vividly described the Whangpoo River river water color. Improves Pujiang is Shanghais mother river， it originates to the Wuxi Tai Lake， is within the boundaries of Shanghai longest， is widest， deepest rivers， the span 114 kilometers; The mean breadth 400 meters， are deep 7 to 9 meters. Its original name calls Dong Jiang， also has the spring Shenjiang river， alternate name and so on Huang Xiejiang.

At that time because upstream Dong Jiangs clogged with silt， he led the Shanghai people to carry on scours， and revised the route， caused Shanghai the aquatic transportation and the agriculture obtains the very big development， the posterity for commemorate Huang Xie the merit， renamed Dong Jiang as the spring Shenjiang river and yellow ， only then officially chose a name until the Southern Song Dynasty time as the Huangpu River.

The Huangpu River has two the child， calls Pudong， another calls Puxi. Before new China is born， their whole family deeply three mountains oppressions， on the mother river body is anchoring is the outside warship and the merchantman， two children also are pressed have not gasped for breath. Jumps Whangpoo River my sentence Shanghai persons pet phrase， refers to the common people which the old society really is unable to live，throws the river to here to commit suicide.

Looks out into the distance the opposite shore， Pudong Lu Jiazui the finance trade area and Puxi Bund distantly faces one another， its function for the finance， the trade and foreign serves， it will be the new Shanghais core and the symbol. East Bund the Bin Jiang main road， the total length 2，500 meters， the collection traveling， go sightseeing with the entertainment and so on are a body， is equipped with 6 multi-faceted squares along the road.

It is located in gongnangong North Street, NankaiDistrict, where all kinds of handicrafts and cultural goods from Tianjin andeven all over the country are gathered. It attracts a large number of touristswith "Chinese flavor, Tianjin flavor, ancient flavor and cultural flavor". Sowhat about the ancient culture street? Lets make an evaluation after visitingit in person.

We have come to the parking lot of the scenic spot. Please remember thatour car number is __ and the license plate is ______. The car is parked on theleft side of the parking lot. We are still meeting here at 4 p.m. please lockthe window. Please take your valuables with you. Please get off.

First of all, we see an ancient archway with the word "Gushang art garden"written on it. "Gushang" is the old name of Tianjin, and "Yiyuan" means thebirthplace of culture, that is to say, it is the earliest birthplace of culturein Tianjin. On the back of this archway, you can also see two words - jinao.The meaning of "gold" is precious, while "Ao" is the allusion of "carp leapingover the dragons gate". It is said that the carp leaping over the dragons gatewill be reborn and become Ao. Ao is the embodiment of the dragon. It is saidthat there are golden Ao in the Haihe River in Tianjin. Since then, we will beprotected by golden Ao. After reading these two words, please have a look at thetwelve copper coins under our feet, which represent the heyday of China from theTang Dynasty to the Qing Dynasty. These copper coins, from small to large, meanthat after we walk through this street, we will have a lot of good fortune, andhope that our motherland will become rich and strong. After you have seen thecopper coin, continue to come here, lets go to the next stop tongqingli to havea look.

Now you follow me into tongqingli, which was built in 1920__ and is thelargest building complex of Chinese and Western style in Tianjin. After enteringthe gate, we can see four murals on the wall, which reflect the market cultureof Tianjin, including "civilized marriage", "walking on stilts", "dragon boat"and this "witty talk" here. When you come to this side of the Hutong, you cansee two large murals. One is the picture of Lu River in Tianjin on this side,which shows the prosperous sea scene of Tianjin at the mouth of the trigeminalriver. The other is the picture of young willows in that year - huangdamen,which describes the customs of the common people during the lunar new year.

Out of tongqingli, please follow me and take a look at the Jade EmperorPavilion, a Taoist temple with a history of 600 years. Yuhuangge is located onthe high side of the river. It is open and spacious. It is a good place to climbup and look far away. Therefore, every year on the Double Ninth Festival,Yuhuangge is unprecedentedly lively. In the rear of Yuhuangge, we also see ashrimp stone, which has a history of hundreds of millions of years and ispraised as "longevity stone" by the common people. We can touch the longevitystone and wish our friends a long life.

After walking through the shrimp stone, we are now in Tianyan square. Itgot its name because it was close to the place where Yan Fulao, a famous modernChinese translator, lived, and it was here that tianyanlun was translated intoChinese.

I dont know if you have noticed that there are a large number of coloredpaintings in the shops and under the eaves of the whole street. These paintingsare drawn in the order of historical events, with a total of more than 800. Thewest side is painted with four famous works, and the east side is legendarystories from Han Dynasty to Qing Dynasty. What we see now is the clay figurinezhangshijiadian, which has a history of more than 140 years. Now it has spreadto the fifth generation and has been recognized as one of the first nationalintangible heritage projects.

Well, now weve come to Tin Hau square. The famous Tin Hau palace islocated here. Before entering the Tin Hau palace, lets take a look at theflagpole in front of the mountain gate. It is said that when the flagpole wasfirst set up, on the one hand, it hung lights to guide the water boats going toand from sanchahekou, on the other hand, it served as a foil for the Tin Haupalace, which made the whole building complex appear to be in perfect disorderand extraordinary momentum. The theater opposite is the earliest open-air stagein Tianjin and also the earliest place for people to entertain themselves.

Now lets take a look at Tianhou palace. Built in Yuan Dynasty, Tianhoupalace is one of the three largest Tianhou palaces in the world. As we all know,most temples in our country face south, but the Queens palace faces west andEast. Why? Because we have to face the Haihe River, which leads to the BohaiSea. Facing the Haihe River means facing the sea, so that when it is notconvenient for the believers to go ashore, they can worship the queen on boardand pray for peace.

Now we come to the main hall, which is the place where empress dowager isworshipped. The one sitting in the middle is Tian Hou. Mazu, originally namedLin Mo, is a native of Meizhou, Fujian Province. She was born miraculous. She isfamiliar with the nature of water and often rescues ships at sea. Later, he wasworshipped as a God, and was granted the title of Tianfei and Tiantian.

We have come to the north entrance of the ancient culture street. Thepattern of the twelve zodiac animals is paved on the ground. It reflects thetraditional Chinese folk custom of "twelve zodiac animals" for thousands ofyears. It means that the ancient culture street is prosperous in people andmoney for twelve months a year, which echoes the pattern of copper coins pavedin the north entrance. Each of US tourists can step on the animal patterns thatare the same as our own, so that we can bring wealth and auspiciousness to ourfamilies. If you look at this archway again, the "clear snow" on the insiderefers to the scenery of early clear after snow and full of tourists.

Ladies and gentlemen

Hello, everyone. First of all, welcome to the one-day tour of Wuzhenorganized by our Hangshi travel agency. At the moment, our car has been drivingon the Shanghai Hangzhou Expressway. On this day, we are going to Wuzhen, one ofthe six ancient towns in the south of the Yangtze River. Its about an hoursdrive from Hangzhou to Wuzhen. Below, let me give a brief introduction toWuzhen. When it comes to Wuzhen, friends who like Liu Ruoying must be familiarwith her. From the time when she was photographing to becoming the imageambassador of Wuzhen recently, it can be said that Liu Ruoying and Wuzhen haveformed an indissoluble bond. On this day, we will go to this millennium old townand follow Liu Ruoyings idea to enjoy the beautiful scenery of the ancienttown. It is often said that one side of the soil and water nourishes anotherside of the people. Wuzhen is indeed a place of outstanding people. It is a landof elegant geomantic omen. Many outstanding talents have been born since ancienttimes. According to the records of this town, from the Song Dynasty to the lateQing Dynasty, there were 64 Jinshi and 161 Juren in the town, and Mao Dun, agreat literary master, appeared in modern times. It can be said that peoplethrive because of the town, and the town is named because of the people.

Since Wuzhen is so famous, we must be very curious about the origin ofWuzhen. Before the Southern Song Dynasty, Wuzhen was divided into two towns,Wuzhen and Qingzhen, with Chexi as the boundary. Wuzhen in the west of the Riverbelongs to Huzhou Prefecture, while Qingzhen in the east of the River belongs toJiaxing Prefecture. After the liberation of China, the districts of Wuzhen andQingzhen were unified and managed by Jiaxing City. There is another short storyabout the origin of the name "Wuzhen": it is said that in the Tang Dynasty, LiQi, the governor of Zhejiang Province, wanted to be a separate ruler and king,and raised his troops to revolt. The imperial court ordered general wuzan tolead his troops to attack. This wuzan general is highly skilled in martial artsand is good at fighting bravely, which makes Li Qis rebels retreat step bystep. When hit the Chexi River, Li Qi suddenly listed a truce. Just as thegeneral of Ukraine camped and rested on the spot, Li Qi attacked the camp of theUkrainian army that night. General Wu rushed to fight, and finally fell into thetrap set by Li Qi on the bridge. They were shot dead by the rebels on the spot.Although Zhang was defeated, general wuzans loyalty and patriotism moved allthe local people. In memory of him, we used his surname as the name of thetown.

The history of Wuzhen is mentioned above. Our friends go to Wuzhen to play.What should we play when we go to Wuzhen? Its nothing more than eating, wearingand traveling. When it comes to eating, maybe most of our friends start to getexcited. After all, food is the most important thing for the people. Dontworry, listen to Xiao Wangs introduction. When it comes to Wuzhens famousfood, I have to mention this aunt cake. Hearing this name, I think you haveguessed it. It must have something to do with the relationship between aunt andsister-in-law. Its true. According to legend, in the Ming Dynasty, there was afamily surnamed Zhang in the town, who made a living by making pancakes for hissister-in-law for generations. Because it is an exclusive formula, naturalflavor is unique, so enduring business is booming. But there is an unwrittenrule in Zhangs family. In order to ensure that the secret recipe will be passedon from generation to generation, it is stipulated that the secret recipe willonly be passed on to the daughter-in-law, not to the daughter. After all, mydaughter will be married in the future, and she will become a member of otherpeoples family. When it came to the Ming Dynasty, my sister-in-law was veryunhappy when she saw that her mother only taught her sister-in-law how to makecakes. After all, my sister-in-law has only been married to my family for morethan a year, and I have been in this family for more than ten years, and mymother has never taught me. So I couldnt get along with my sister-in-laweverywhere. One day, when my sister-in-law was making cakes, it began to rain.So the little sister-in-law to the sister-in-law

Said: "sister-in-law, its raining outside, go to collect clothes.". Mysister-in-law ran out as soon as she heard that. When my sister-in-law saw thather sister-in-law was out, she was angry, but secretly grabbed a bar of salt andthrew it into the pan. Coincidentally, the guests who ate Aunt Zhangs cake allsaid that the taste of the cake was very personalized and better than before. Mysister-in-law is very strange. Im still doing the same thing as before. How canit be different. So she ate a piece of it herself, and she felt that the tastewas very personal. At this time, my sister-in-law began to talk. "Sister in law,if you want to understand why the cake tastes so good on this day, and if youwant to make it so good every day in the future, tell me the secret recipe formaking cakes first." sister in law, however, told her the recipe for makingcakes to her sister-in-law. Of course, my sister-in-law is also very honest totell her how to do something bad, but it backfires and its a blessing indisguise. Because the practice at the moment is shared by my sister-in-law, so Inamed this cake "sister-in-law cake". After the visit, you may as well buy somefor free activities. After saying "sister-in-law cake" of course, we have totalk about Wuzhens specialty "three liquor". Three Baijiu is handmadenaturally. Because white rice, white noodles and white water are used as rawmaterials, it is called "three Baijiu". Others are Hangzhou white chrysanthemum,white water fish and braised pork. After dinner, we can order some to taste.

After talking about eating, lets get to the point. Blue calico is one ofthe specialties of Wuzhen, commonly known as "lime calico" and "calico". It is atraditional folk craft in China. It is made of cotton thread, soybean powder andbluegrass juice. It is purely hand-made and environmentally friendly. You canbuy some small things. For example, a lady who loves beauty can buy one or twoblue calico headscarves and small handbags as souvenirs. I recommend you not tobuy clothes, because at the moment, no one is willing to wear these kinds ofclothes. Secondly, blue calico is easy to fade. When its hot, its not good towear this kind of clothes and sweat all over the body like a leopard. ha-ha.Others are handmade cotton shoes and slippers. We buy at our own discretion.

Next, Ill introduce the most important tour to you, so that you can graspthe key points and have a definite aim when you visit. As I said just now,Wuzhen is the hometown of Mao Dun, a great literary scientist, so naturally, MaoDuns former residence must be visited. To visit the water town is nothing morethan to see the architecture and taste the folk customs. And the "street pillowwater, pink wall Daiwa" is the common features of water architecture, since wehave to see its most distinctive things in Wuzhen. The architectural features ofWuzhen are concentrated in the Xiuzhen temple and the ancient stage at the headof the town. So you must not miss the first scenic spot of Xiuzhen temple. Thereis a scenic spot announcer in the temple to explain to you. I will send thetickets to you at the gate when I go in. After visiting the first scenic spot,those who are willing to visit with me will follow me, and those who are notwilling to plan to move freely with me will be able to move freely. Lets goback to the introduction of you. As the saying goes, "ten li is not the samesound, hundred Li is not the same vulgar.". It is estimated that Hangzhou is 200li away from Wuzhen, so the folk customs are even more different. And Wuzhenjust brings us a viewing platform in terms of folk customs. There are Jiangnanwood carving exhibition hall, Hongtai dyeing workshop blue calico exhibitionhall, Jiangnan hundred bed hall, folk custom hall and many other exhibitionhalls in the town. Xiao Yang will show you one by one. OK, Wuzhen will arrivesoon. Please take your luggage and get off with me.

forbidden city(紫禁城)

(in front of the meridian gate)

ladies and gentlemen:

i am pleased to serve as your guide today.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

(in front of the gate of supreme harmony)

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

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

(after walking past the gate of supreme harmony)

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

(in front of the hall of complete harmony)

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

(in front of the hall f preserving harmony)

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

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

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

route a

ladies and gentlemen:

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

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

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

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

route b

(inside the hall of heavenly purity)

ladies and gentlemen:

we are now entering the inner court. from the gate of heavenly purity northward lies the inner court where the emperors and empresses once lived .the hall of heavenly purity is the central hall of the inner court ,and was completed during the reign of emperor yongle of the ming dynasty. there are 10 pillars supporting the entire structure and the hall is 20 meters in height .in the center of the hall there a throne. above it hangs a plaque with an inscription that reads “be open and above-board,” written by shenzhi,the first emperor of the qing dynasty. beginning with qianlong` s reign, the name of the successor to the throne was not publicly announced .instead, it was written on two pieces of paper, one to be kept on the emperor` s person throughout his reign, and the other placed in a small strongbox that was stored behind his plaque. the box was opened only after the emperor passed away. altogether there where 4 emperors who ascended the throne in this way, namely qianlong, jiaqing, daohuang and xian feng.

the hall of heavenly purity was where the emperors lived during the ming and qing dynasties. according to tradition ,extravagant annual banquets were held here on new year` s eve in honour of royal family members. foreign ambassadors were received here during the late-qing period. two important “one thousand old men` s feasts” of the qing dynasty were also held here. all the invitees had to be at least 65 years of age.

this hall was also used for mourning services.

(inside the palace of union and peace)

this hall sits between the hall of heavenly purity and the palace of earthly tranquility, symbolizing the union of heaven and earth ,as well as national peace .it was first built in 1420 and reconstructed in 1798. the hall is square in shape ,and is smaller than the hall of complete harmony .you will see a plaque here inscribed with two chinese characters, wu wei, which were handwritten by emperor qianglong. a throne sits in the middle of the hall with a screen behind it .above the throne there hangs a caisson ,or covered ceiling. the emperor held birthday celebrations and other major events here.

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

(inside the palace of earthly tranquility)

this used to be the central hall where successive ming empresses lived. during the qing dynasty, it was converted into a place where sacrifices and wedding ceremonies were held .the room on the western side was used for sacrifices and the room on the east was the seeding chamber.

route c

ladies and gentlemen:

you have seen the three main halls of the forbidden city. now i` d like to show you around scenes of interest along the eastern route. the first is the treasure hall. this mansion is called the hall of imperial zenith. this is where sing emperor quailing lived after abdication. nearly 1,000 artifacts and treasures are on display here, among which the golden hair tower is one of the most famous. this tower is 1.53meters in height and its base is 0.53 meters in circumference .it was built under the order of emperor quailing to be used to collect fallen hair in commemoration of his mother. there is also a “day harnessing water jade hill ” on display here. yu was a legendary monarch of the remote ixia dynasty. under his leadership, the people learned how to harness the yellow river. this jade assemblage, 224 centimeters in height and 5 tons in weight, is the largest jade artwork in china. this mat was woven with peeled ivory. these artifacts are among china` s rarest treasures.

(in front of the nine-dragon screen)

this is the nine-dragon relief screen .erected in 1773,it is 3.5 meters in height and 29.4 meters in width. underneath is a foundation made of marble .the surface of the screen is laid with a total of 270 colored, glazed tiles in the design of 9 dragons ,some rocky mountains ,clouds and the sea. it was meant to ward off evil spirits the ancient chinese regarded 9 dragons, some rocky mountains, clouds and the sea. it was meant to ward off evil spirits .the ancient chinese regarded 9 as the largest numeral and the dragon as a auspicious beast .the 9 dragons are different in color and posture and all are made of glazed tiles. interestingly a piece of the third dragon from the left is made of wood. it is believe that when the nine-dragon screen was almost finished ,a piece of glazed tile was damaged .emperor qianlong was scheduled to inspect the work the following day .using quick wits, the craftsman in question molded the missing piece with clay and sailed through the imperial inspection. later ,he asked a carpenter to carve a wooden one to replace the one made of clay.

(approaching the imperial garden)

behind the palace of earthly tranquility and trading the north-south axis is the imperial garden. there are old trees, rare flowers and exotic rock formation in this garden .it cover a space of 11,700 square meters, or roughly 1.7 percent of the forbidden city. most of the structures in the garden are symmetrically arranged . however, each is different in terms of parrern and decoration. woods clumps of bamboo screen off the garden and strengthens its deep and serene atmosphere.

there main structure of the imperial garden is the qin` an hall. positioned in the central-northern part of the garden ,this hall is flanked by other halls and pavilions on the east and west. the hall sits on a marble pedestal. the taoist deity of zhenwu is enshrined here and emperor would pay homage here a quarterly basis. taoist rites were held during the reign of emperor jiajing of the ming dynasty. in front of the hall there is a cypress that is 400 years old .in all there are a dozen such rare trees in the garden, and most of them are cypresses or pines. to the northwest of the hall , there is the yanhui(sustaining sunshine) pavilion and to the northeast there lies the duixiu (accumulated refinement )hill. this hill was built over the foundation of the long- pershed guanhua (admiring flowers) hall of the ming dynasty. it is 14 meters in height and made of al kinds of rocks quarried in jiang su province. at its base stand two nstone lions, each carrying a dragon shooting water 10 meters up into the air from its mouth. there are meandering paths leading to the hilltop. at the top of duixiu hill sits the yujing (imperial viewing)pavilion. traditionally, on the day of the double ninth festival (the ninth day of the ninth lunar month ), the emperor ,his consort, and his concubines would climb up to yujing pavilion to enjoy the scenery.

at the southeastern corner of the garden is jiangxue(crimson snowy) verandah. nearby to the southwest lies yangxing study (study of the cultivation of nature) .the yangxing study was used as a royal library during the reign of emperor qianlong of the qing dynasty. the last emperor of the qing dynasty, puyi once studied english there. in front of the jiangxue verandah some chinese flowering crabapples grow. the structure got its name from the crabapples who blossoms trun from crimson to snowy white. in front of the verandah, there grows a rare flower that was brought from henna province under the order of empress dowager cixi. in the northest is chizao tang (hall of using flowery language), once used as a library where rare books were stored.

there are also specific pavilions symbolizing the four seasons .the halls of wanchun and qianqiu ,representing spring and autumn respectively ,are square in shape and are coupled with multiple eaves and bell-shape and are coupled with multiple eaves and bell-shaped ridges. the halls of chengrui and fubi,dedecated to winter and summer, are characterized by two verandahs and bridges at their bases .paths were paved with colorful pebbles and arranged in 900 different designs.

the imperial garden can be accessed through the qiong yuan (jade garden )west gate or the qiong yuan east gate. a third gate, the shunzhen(obedience and fidelity)gate, opens to the north. its doors are laid in glazed tiles and it was only used by the empress or concubines.

as our tour of the forbidden city draws to a close, i hope that i have helped you understand why the palace is a treasure of china and one of the cultural relics of the world. it is under the strict protection of the chinese government. since 1949 when the people` s rupublic of china was founded, nearly one trillion rmb was spent on its restoration and refurbishment. the forbidden city has undergone four major facelifts to date. each year, the government earmarks a large sum to gather, sort and study cultural relics. the palace now contains a total of 930,000cultural relics. well, so much for today .let` s go to reboard the coach. thank you !

a "hutong" is an ancient city alleyway or lane typical of ancient beijing, where hutongs once ran into the thousands.

hutongs were first built around the walled imperial compound known as the forbidden city. the majority of these alleyways were built during the yuan, ming and qing dynasties (1271—1911). at the height of each era, the emperor arranged the residential areas surrounding his moat according to a system of etiquette hailing back to the zhou dynasty (c.1100—221 b.c.).

at its heart was the forbidden city, surrounded by main roadways travelling east-west and north-south. there were originally two kinds of hutongs. the first were grouped to the east and west of the forbidden city and laid in an orderly design alongside main roadways. most of these hutongs housed members of the royal family, officials, eunuchs and aristocrats. the second type of hutong was a crude version of the first, located far to the north and south of the sprawling imperial compound, inhabited by merchants and commoners.

what both had in common was the type of structure lining the alleyways. the "siheyuan" known in english as a quadrangle, or courtyard complex, invariably comprised four main buildings facing each compass point and surrounded by a high wall. the size and design of each complex reflected the social status of the inhabitants.

wealthy families often boasted several walled courtyards surrounded by a main wall, each building decorated with intricately carved and painted beams and pillars.

the quadrangles of the poor were of a much simpler construction with small gates and low ceilings. beijings meandering hutongs are passageways formed by thousands of closely arranged quadrangles of different sizes. the main buildings of most of these structures face south for optimum sunlight, especially during the bitter beijing winters. because of this, the majority of the citys hutongs run east to west. between the major hutongs meandered narrow alleys running north to south to allow convenient passage through what was once a vast maze of gray brick and tiled roofs.

old beijing is in essence a magnified quadrangle, symmetrically arranged and surrounded by a high city wall that was torn down half a century ago to make way for a beltway ringing the increasingly modern capital.

by the end of the qing dynasty, chinas economy was in tatters. but pleasure-loving beijing continued to cater to the emperor and his hangers-on. life was mostly confined to the hutongs. the quadrangle reflected the way of life and social culture of the times.

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：

显陵，是明朝恭睿献皇帝朱佑元与皇后蒋氏的合葬墓，始建于1519年，至今已有近五百年的历史了。早在1988年就被国务院列为国家级重点文物保护单位，20__年底，显陵申报世界文化遗产获得成功，被录入联合国《世界遗产名录》，成为世界人民共同的财富。世界遗产目前全世界共有500多处，中国仅30处，属文化遗产的仅21处，湖北仅2处，即武当山和显陵，全国32个省市大部分一处都没有。

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。

由外明塘连接着这弯曲的御河叫“九曲河”，它沿着进入陵区的神道拐了九个弯，故名。沿河建了五道并列三座单孔桥，九曲河与五道桥，附会“九五至尊”的含义。象征着皇权的至高无上。由于设计巧妙，弯曲的河水将陵区地面分割为几个不同的区域，恰到好处地发挥了自然要素山、水、树木的空间限定作用。“石蕴玉而山辉，水怀环而川媚”，由于九曲河的营建，使周围的环境顾盼生辉。虽然明代各陵都非常重视陵区的排水、泄洪，开挖或利用天然河流形成御河，然而显陵的九曲河以其排水系统的完善，体现风水理论之完善，又与其他明陵有显著的区别，成为神奇显陵的重要特点。

各位贵宾，这弯曲的九曲河让您能产生怎样的想象呢?对，龙!它正像一条弯曲腾挪的水龙游弋在青山绿水的陵区，给显陵增添了鲜活的灵气。

请大家看这座御桥，它的通体都是由名贵的汉白玉石料建造，桥面两边的白玉栏杆，有栏板72块，望柱72根，所有栏板上都掏空到成净瓶如意方形，桥之间的两边望柱是火煸形柱头，而两边侧桥的望柱是素方形的柱头，中间桥的望柱是子母狮蹲于柱头，非常独特，两头的栏板上雕的是一种怪兽，我们叫它靠山兽。整个御桥建造华丽，雕刻艺术精美，远远望去，十分雄伟壮观，有人说可与天安门前的金水桥媲美。桥面是当年筑陵原遗存下来的，而桥护栏毁于革命，现在大家看到的护栏是1998年照愿样修复的。

我们现在进入的是旧红门，旧红门建于明嘉靖三年(1524年)，它早于新红门15年建成，是显陵的第二道门户，也是显陵的中轴线的正门，在门旁的建筑墙上，我们可以看到世界文化遗产的标志。标志的外沿是一个圆形，代表地球与大自然，中间的方形代表人类创造的文明，方形和圆形的相连寓意着人类与自然的和谐关系，同时圆形环护着方形又有对人类文明应予以保护的意思。各位贵宾，我们在游览显陵的同时，也请大家注意对显陵环境的爱护，您的文明举止就是对显陵这个世界文化遗产最好的保护。谢谢大家!

这里是御碑楼，其主要作用是置放“御制睿功圣德碑”的，故又叫睿功圣德碑楼。碑文为嘉靖皇帝亲自书写，内容主要是为其父歌功颂德，其碑首为四条高浮雕首尾交错、头部下垂的蛟龙，碑座是一个昂首远眺的海龟似的神兽，是用一块石料琢成，趴卧在刻满海波漩流的水盘之上。这只类似的神兽叫赑屃。传说龙生九子，皆不成龙，各有所好，赑屃就是龙的其中一子，它天生喜文善水长寿，尤其最喜负重。这碑身重20吨，它可不是任何一个帝王都可以自行树立的，凡后世帝王有失国之尺地寸土者，不得立此碑。因此这种碑是为表彰其“丰功伟绩”，树立此碑即是显示墓主显赫的身份和高贵的地位。可惜的是，此碑在革命期间被红卫兵造反派砸断，碑身即断裂成现在的几块，而整个碑楼的木制结构则毁于明末兵火。

大家请看神道两边这两根高大的石柱，叫望柱。它是皇权的象征，也是仪仗的开始标志。相传东边的一柱为“望君出”，西边的一柱为“望君归”。“望君出”呼唤着帝王要走出九重深宫，去体察世间民情;“望君归”呼唤着帝王在宫外不要过多的流连，要及时回来处理朝政。它们反映了天下百姓对“圣明天子”的渴望。

望柱后面的这些石雕叫石像生。它是皇权仪卫的缩影。在明代，凡是举行大典的时候，除文武百官及军队仪仗队排列两侧外还将人工驯养的狮子、大象等动物装在笼子里，放在街道两旁，以壮皇威。待皇帝死后，也需要相同的排场，所以就在陵前设置了石像生。这种做法最早开始于秦汉时期，此后历代皇帝、重臣沿用不衰，只是数量和取像不尽相同。

前面的第一对是狮子，狮是百兽之王，显示着皇帝的雄风与威严。

第二叫獬豸，又叫独角兽，它是传说中的饿一种异兽，能辨别是非邪正，把它放在陵前，起着扶正辟邪的作用。

第三对是骆驼，第四对是大象，一个来自北方沙漠，一个来自南方丛林，代表着皇权统治的版图之广，“普天之下，莫非王土”。第

五、第六对是麒麟，传说中的太平、祥瑞之兽，代表吉祥，放在陵前有粉饰太平，为帝王歌功颂德之意。第

七、第八对是马，古人的坐骑，皇帝仪仗中不可缺少的部分。这后面四对文臣、武将象征帝王驾前的文武百官。各位朋友，你们知道怎样辨别这些文臣、武将的官职大小吗?先看武将，持短剑者官职较高，再看文臣，官帽护耳者官职较高。

请大家注意看：所有这些石像生连同底座均是由一整块石头雕刻而成。那么如此之大的石料又是怎样从远处的深山运来的呢?相传采用的是“旱船拽运”的方法，即沿运石道路每隔一里在地下凿一深井，冬天到来时将水打出泼在路面，将巨石沿水面拖行。可以想象，为修建此陵，众多劳役们要付出多少血汗啊!另外沿途我们可看到很多墙砖上都刻着地名，这也说明显陵的每一片砖瓦都来自全国各地，工程之浩大，调动人力物力之众多，由此可见一斑!

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。

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。

各位贵宾，请随我一起登上方城明楼。

请大家看这块碑，它高5米，宽1.2米，碑身字体“大明恭睿献皇帝之陵”为嘉靖皇帝亲笔书写。这块碑具有特殊意义，它是整个显陵的名片，对显陵申报世界文化遗产并最终获得通过起了重要的作用，大家看整个碑文的两边均遭到毁坏，唯有这块碑文完好，也无断裂，这不能不说是冥冥之中的天意啊!

让我们来感受一下显陵的恢宏与神奇吧!请大家放目远望，自新红门至陵寝的这条弯曲的龙鳞神道，恰似一条旱龙，龙尾三摆，龙颈三曲，煞是鲜活。新红门与旧红门不在一条中轴线上不正式显示出了龙尾摆动的生气吗?再看九曲河，穿插于旱龙左右尤如一条水龙蜿蜒潜行，与旱龙在内明塘外交汇，形成二龙戏珠之妙。而内明糖则依风水理论“龙气见风则散，遇水则止”。具有藏风聚气、界止龙气流失，象征明代山水永固之意。此水陆二龙的设计，使整个显陵倍具生机与活力!

各位贵宾，大家好!欢迎来到世界文化遗产明显陵参观游览。

显陵，是明朝恭睿献皇帝朱佑元与皇后蒋氏的合葬墓，始建于 1519 年，至今已有近五百年的历史了。早在 1988 年就被国务院列为国家级重点文物保护单位， 20xx 年底，显陵申报世界文化遗产获得成功，被录入联合国《世界遗产名录》，成为世界人民共同的财富。世界遗产目前全世界共有 500 多处，中国仅 30 处，属文化遗产的仅 21 处，湖北仅 2 处，即武当山和显陵，全国 32 个省市大部分一处都没有。

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。

由外明塘连接着这弯曲的御河叫“九曲河”，它沿着进入陵区的神道拐了九个弯，故名。沿河建了五道并列三座单孔桥，九曲河与五道桥，附会“至尊”的含义。象征着皇权的至高无上。由于设计巧妙，弯曲的河水将陵区地面分割为几个不同的区域，恰到好处地发挥了自然要素山、水、树木的空间限定作用。“石蕴玉而山辉，水怀环而川媚”，由于九曲河的营建，使周围的环境顾盼生辉。虽然明代各陵都非常重视陵区的排水、泄洪，开挖或利用天然河流形成御河，然而显陵的九曲河以其排水系统的完善，体现风水理论之完善，又与其他明陵有显著的区别，成为神奇显陵的重要特点。

各位贵宾，这弯曲的九曲河让您能产生怎样的想象呢?对，龙!它正像一条弯曲腾挪的水龙游弋在青山绿水的陵区，给显陵增添了鲜活的灵气。

请大家看这座御桥，它的通体都是由名贵的汉白玉石料建造，桥面两边的白玉栏杆，有栏板 72 块，望柱 72 根，所有栏板上都掏空到成净瓶如意方形，桥之间的两边望柱是火煸形柱头，而两边侧桥的望柱是素方形的柱头，中间桥的望柱是子母狮蹲于柱头，非常独特，两头的栏板上雕的是一种怪兽，我们叫它靠山兽。整个御桥建造华丽，雕刻艺术精美，远远望去，十分雄伟壮观，有人说可与天安门前的金水桥媲美。桥面是当年筑陵原遗存下来的，而桥护栏毁于文革，现在大家看到的护栏是 1998 年照愿样修复的。

我们现在进入的是旧红门，旧红门建于明嘉靖三年( 1524 年)，它早于新红门 15 年建成，是显陵的第二道门户，也是显陵的中轴线的正门，在门旁的建筑墙上，我们可以看到世界文化遗产的标志。标志的外沿是一个圆形，代表地球与大自然，中间的方形代表人类创造的文明，方形和圆形的相连寓意着人类与自然的和谐关系，同时圆形环护着方形又有对人类文明应予以保护的意思。各位贵宾，我们在游览显陵的同时，也请大家注意对显陵环境的爱护，您的文明举止就是对显陵这个世界文化遗产最好的保护。谢谢大家!

这里是御碑楼，其主要作用是置放“御制睿功圣德碑”的，故又叫睿功圣德碑楼。碑文为嘉靖皇帝亲自书写，内容主要是为其父歌功颂德，其碑首为四条高浮雕首尾交错、头部下垂的蛟龙，碑座是一个昂首远眺的海龟似的神兽，是用一块石料琢成，趴卧在刻满海波漩流的水盘之上。这只类似的神兽叫赑屃。传说龙生九子，皆不成龙，各有所好，赑屃就是龙的其中一子，它天生喜文善水长寿，尤其最喜负重。这碑身重 20 吨，它可不是任何一个帝王都可以自行树立的，凡后世帝王有失国之尺地寸土者，不得立此碑。因此这种碑是为表彰其“丰功伟绩”，树立此碑即是显示墓主显赫的身份和高贵的地位。可惜的是，此碑在文革期间被红卫兵造反派砸断，碑身即断裂成现在的几块，而整个碑楼的木制结构则毁于明末兵火。

大家请看神道两边这两根高大的石柱，叫望柱。它是皇权的象征，也是仪仗的开始标志。相传东边的一柱为“望君出”，西边的一柱为“望君归”。“望君出”呼唤着帝王要走出九重深宫，去体察世间民情;“望君归”呼唤着帝王在宫外不要过多的流连，要及时回来处理朝政。它们反映了天下百姓对“圣明天子”的渴望。

望柱后面的这些石雕叫石像生。它是皇权仪卫的缩影。在明代，凡是举行大典的时候，除文武百官及军队仪仗队排列两侧外还将人工驯养的狮子、大象等动物装在笼子里，放在街道两旁，以壮皇威。待皇帝死后，也需要相同的排场，所以就在陵前设置了石像生。这种做法最早开始于秦汉时期，此后历代皇帝、重臣沿用不衰，只是数量和取像不尽相同。前面的第一对是狮子，狮是百兽之王，显示着皇帝的雄风与威严。第二叫獬豸，又叫独角兽，它是传说中的饿一种异兽，能辨别是非邪正，把它放在陵前，起着扶正辟邪的作用。第三对是骆驼，第四对是大象，一个来自北方沙漠，一个来自南方丛林，代表着皇权统治的版图之广，“普天之下，莫非王土”。第五、第六对是麒麟，传说中的太平、祥瑞之兽，代表吉祥，放在陵前有粉饰太平，为帝王歌功颂德之意。第七、第八对是马，古人的坐骑，皇帝仪仗中不可缺少的部分。这后面四对文臣、武将象征帝王驾前的文武百官。各位朋友，你们知道怎样辨别这些文臣、武将的官职大小吗?先看武将，持短剑者官职较高，再看文臣，官帽护耳者官职较高。请大家注意看：所有这些石像生连同底座均是由一整块石头雕刻而成。那么如此之大的石料又是怎样从远处的深山运来的呢?相传采用的是“旱船拽运”的方法，即沿运石道路每隔一里在地下凿一深井，冬天到来时将水打出泼在路面，将巨石沿水面拖行。可以想象，为修建此陵，众多劳役们要付出多少血汗啊!另外沿途我们可看到很多墙砖上都刻着地名，这也说明显陵的每一片砖瓦都来自全国各地，工程之浩大，调动人力物力之众多，由此可见一斑!

现在我们大家面前的这座牌坊式建筑叫棂星门，又叫龙凤门。由六天柱三门四壁组成，门之间两侧由石、砖、琉璃件构成的仿木建筑，每根石柱上雕有独角兽一只，额柱上均装饰有支云头和火焰宝珠，故此门又叫“火焰牌坊”。相传此门是仿神话中的南天门所建，经过此门，帝王的灵魂就上了天堂。各位朋友，让我们也穿过此门进如一个新的世界吧!

穿过棂星门后请大家注意我们前面的这段神道，它不是直的，而是湾的，这又是显陵的一个神奇之处了。显陵在神道处理上与明代诸陵不同，在陵区中部，砌了一条弯曲的神道，如同一条蜿蜒前行的龙，这便是“龙鳞神道”。显陵是明代帝陵中唯一整体保留龙鳞神道做法的陵墓。大家请看这中间铺筑的石板谓之“龙脊”，两侧以鹅卵石填充，谓之“龙鳞”，外边再以牙子石收束，总称为“龙鳞道”，这种做法既能满足陵寝建筑的功能需求，又经济可行，充分显示了匠人的智慧。

跨过御河上的第五座桥，我们前面的这座圆形池塘叫“内明塘”，为一人工开掘的池塘，内明塘的建置为明代其它帝陵所没有的，仅显陵一孤例。它直径 33 米，水深约 4 米。没有水源与外界相通，却大旱不干涸，大雨不外溢。水位始终保持在一固定的高度，这一现象自显陵始建至今近 500 年均未变化。据专家考证，其塘底为铜铸锅底状，水位之所以能长期稳定，可能与锅沿暗藏排水系统与陵区的地下水系巧妙衔接有关，如此即保持了一个完整的水位平衡。大家所看到的内明塘和我们在进门前的外明塘，不仅是历代帝陵没有的，它还有一奇特功能，就是在白天塘中有太阳，晚上塘中有月亮，加上当时为建显陵，嘉靖皇帝钦定有“唯我皇考，若日月之照临，光于四方，显于西土”的字句，所以这内明塘、外明塘还有引日月进塘，让日月同辉的用意。另据传，进入宝城地宫的入口即藏在水下，你们相信吗?

绕过内明塘，我们现在来到的陵恩门，显陵分为内外两城，这陵恩门即是内城紫金城的正门，请大家注意看这大门两侧各有一堵墙，叫影壁。影壁在古建筑中主要起屏障和装饰作用，可以建在大门的前后方。也可建在大门两侧，建在大门两侧的主要为增添大门的气势，这陵恩门两侧的精美琉璃影壁是明代其它各帝陵所没有的!它为琉璃仿木形式。正面是琼花图案，据说琼花代表草木旺盛，国家繁华。背面为双龙图案，有藏龙卧虎之意。

请大家看这幅汉白玉浮雕，它叫云龙丹陛。据专家认定，这快丹陛在历代帝陵中实属罕见!除了慈禧太后的陵区中有凤在上的云龙丹陛外，其余均为龙在上、凤在下，而显陵这块却为龙凤并列，凤头在上、龙头在下很独特。为什么呢?因为嘉靖皇帝进京即位时才 14 岁，他巩固地位，自立体系，母亲给了他巨大的精神支持。所以嘉靖皇帝对他的母亲非常尊敬，他有今天的地位，他的母亲是功不可没的。这块云龙丹陛也正式反映了嘉靖皇帝对母亲的敬仰之情。

进入陵恩门，我们来到的是陵恩殿，也就是人们一般所称的大殿，主要是供奉嘉靖皇帝父母神位的地方，也是举行上陵、祭祀活动重要的场所。可惜的是，整个大殿毁于明末李自成农民起义军的军火，现在仅存石基，但我们能据此感觉到整个大殿的雄伟。据说修建大殿前，嘉靖皇帝下旨仿故宫金銮殿修建，这是殿堂内木柱的石基座，它直径竟达 1.06 米，两人合抱都不能交手，而这些梁柱及殿内其他木结构使用的均是来自四川、湖广一带深山密林中的珍贵树种金丝楠木，可以想象当时的大殿是多么的富丽堂皇啊!

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。

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。

各位贵宾，请随我一起登上方城明楼。

请大家看这块碑，它高 5 米，宽 1.2 米，碑身字体“大明恭睿献皇帝之陵”为嘉靖皇帝亲笔书写。这块碑具有特殊意义，它是整个显陵的名片，对显陵申报世界文化遗产并最终获得通过起了重要的作用，大家看整个碑文的两边均遭到毁坏，唯有这块碑文完好，也无断裂，这不能不说是冥冥之中的天意啊!

让我们来感受一下显陵的恢宏与神奇吧!请大家放目远望，自新红门至陵寝的这条弯曲的龙鳞神道，恰似一条旱龙，龙尾三摆，龙颈三曲，煞是鲜活。新红门与旧红门不在一条中轴线上不正式显示出了龙尾摆动的生气吗?再看九曲河，穿插于旱龙左右尤如一条水龙蜿蜒潜行，与旱龙在内明塘外交汇，形成二龙戏珠之妙。而内明糖则依风水理论“龙气见风则散，遇水则止”。具有藏风聚气、界止龙气流失，象征明代山水永固之意。此水陆二龙的设计，使整个显陵倍具生机与活力!

请大家在看整个陵区的大环境：依据古代风水学“负阴抱阳”、“背山面水”的原则，在这广阔的区域内所有的山体、水系、林木植都被作为陵寝的构成要素来统一布局和安排，以陵区后部的松林山为祖山作为陵寝的构成要素来统一布局和安排建筑，九曲河弯延其间，前面的天子岗为屏山，构成了前朱雀、后玄武、左青龙、右白虎的完美风水格局，形成了人文景观和自然景观的高度和谐统一。显陵不愧为古代建筑与环境美学相结合的天然杰作!

显陵的修建，是中国封建时代对灵魂信仰的集中体现，凝聚着明代中后期的政治思想、道德观念和审美趣味。同时，这种动用国家力量建造的陵墓，也反映了当时的经济状况、科学技术水平和营造工艺水平，是中国丧葬艺术的最高表现形式和建筑典范。

各位贵宾，在你们参观完显陵后，是否也会像联合国世界遗产专家让 · 路易先生那样发出同样的赞叹呢?当然，依显陵之博大，孕藏的文化历史之丰富，是在这短短时间内无法全部了解清楚的，加之我才疏学浅，知识有限，很多地方讲解尚有欠缺。为此，我将加倍努力，争取掌握更多有关显陵的知识，届时，欢迎大家再次来显陵参观游览，我也将为大家再次来显陵参观游览，我也将为大家献上更加精彩的解说。

谢谢大家!祝各位旅途愉快!

从龙凤门再越御桥便是一条长达290米的神道，该神道一反左右对称和通直的原则，作弯曲龙行状，是为龙形神道。接龙形神道是最后三座御桥。九曲河由东北向西南蜿蜒而过，河道为砖石结构，河中根据高差建有九道拦水坝。过九曲河最后一道御桥为内明塘，内明塘为圆形，直径33米，周边砌有青石护岸。塘两边各设有碑亭一座，分别为“纯德山祭告文”碑亭和“瑞文碑”亭。内明塘后，为祾恩门，面阔三间，进深二间，建有月台，前后三出云龙丹陛，门两边有琉璃影壁，影壁正面为绿色琉璃的蟠枝图案，背面为双龙腾跃，喻意藏龙护生。祾恩门外东侧，建有神厨、神库、宰牲亭等。

西侧建有神宫监，礼生乐户直房等。祾恩门后，左右为配殿，面阔五问，进深二间，前出廊。再后为棱恩殿，歇山后抱厦宫殿式建筑，面阔五间，进深四间。前出月台，石雕须弥座台基，雕栏龙风望柱。祾恩殿后为陵寝门，面阔三间、砖石琉璃结构。陵寝门后为二柱门，现仅存石柱，蹲龙战鼓，木构无存。二柱门后为石五供，现存供案和部分石雕供器。供案两侧各有碑亭一座，分别为御赐祭文碑亭和御赐谥册志文碑亭。供案后是方城明楼，方城面阔、进深皆为22.2米，设券门一道，门前有御道踏跺。门后左右设有御道台阶以供上下。方城上建有明楼，面阔、进深均为17米，重檐歇山顶，石须弥座基础，四道券门。内供“大明睿宗献皇帝之陵”圣号碑，通高4.69米。

方城后左右连接着前后宝城，前宝城呈椭圆形，东西宽112米，南北长125米。宝城内为宝顶，宝顶下为1519年(正德十五年)所建玄宫。宝城与方城之间建有月牙城，内有琉璃影壁一座。前后宝城由瑶台相连。瑶台为长方形，面阔11.5米，进深40.5米。后宝城为圆形，直径110米。内为宝顶，宝顶下为1539年(嘉靖十八年)所建地下玄宫，玄宫内停放着恭喜献皇帝和皇后棺停。后宝城与瑶台之间建有月牙城，内有琉璃影壁一座。两座宝城上共有向外悬挑的散水螭首16个，设计精巧，为独特的排水系统。陵区外围沿祖山、东西砂山、案山建有显陵卫、东果园、西菜园、更铺及巡山铺等。

明显陵原始建筑和环境风貌保存完好，建筑规模宏大，陵寝结构独特，文化内涵丰厚，堪称中国帝陵的璀璨明珠。

显陵以其独特的环境风貌、精巧的布局构思、宏大的建筑规模、丰富的地下宝藏及其珍贵的历史价值而受到国家文物专家的高度重视，八八年国务院公布为全国重点文物保护单位，九九年三月国家文物局又将其作为明代唯一的一座帝陵，向联合国世界遗产委员会申报世界文化遗产，联合国教科文组织世界文化遗产委员会已投票通过，将我国湖北钟祥县的明显陵列入世界文化遗产项目。

联合国专家让.路易.卢森先生视察显陵后感到十分惊讶，将显陵称之为“神奇的明显陵”，对至今已历时115年仍保持完好的外逻城感到“简直不可思议”。同时对显陵的保护维修工作给予了充分肯定。

好，游客朋友们，钟祥明显陵就为大家讲解到这儿，谢谢各位的支持!

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。

Not far from my friends, you thousand, or even thousands of miles, herewill have to take a look at the beauty of huangshan? Just want to feel a happylife? Yes, huangshan is beautiful beautiful, can be said that day, the mountain,to step into it, see it, is really a pleasure in life. Long long ago, in thelong geological history, the infinite power of nature, to shape the elegance ofthe beautiful huangshan and all sorts of strange landscape, dumping,ecstatic.

Must watch in huangshan is the four unique of huangshan, speaking ofhuangshan mountain "four unique", in the first when pines. Pinus Chinese Taiwanensis, inwhat place? First is, in its very tenacious vitality, yellow pine comes from thehard Huang Gang rock steadily. Huangshan pine growing everywhere, they peak,long long cliffs, long in deep valleys lives, lush, full of vitality, can saynot strange? Second, pinus Chinese Taiwanensis in its unique natural modelling also. Theneedles of pinus Chinese Taiwanensis short dense thick green, green, branches QuSheng,canopy flat, show a kind of simple, robust and vigorous momentum, pine tree andevery place, every trees, on the appearance, enshrouded, artistically, applywhat is different, all have a strange beauty.

Followed by the peak, can be seen everywhere in huangshan strange formstrange rocks, these strange looking differ in thousands ways, some like, somelike things, some some reflects some of the myths and legends and historicalstories, lifelike, vivid and interesting. Some of these rocks have a plenty of amonster, kit kat and exquisite; Some independent into a scene, some severalcombination or with pine combined together into a scene. Also some peak becauseviewing position and Angle changed, looking also had the change, became a stonetwo scene.

Is the sea of clouds. Although other famous mountains in China also can seethe sea of clouds, but no one can be comparable to huangshan sea of clouds asspectacular and infinite change. About it is for this reason, huangshan mountainhas another name, called "yellow sea". This is not a vain, there is a history toprove it. Ming dynasty renowned one local Chronicles, called Pan Zhiheng, livedin huangshan for decades, wrote a 60 volumes tome, huangshan mountain, called it"the yellow sea. Some of huangshan scenic spots, hotels and many landscapenamed, is associated with this special "sea", if some landscape view in the seaof clouds, will appear more real, more lasting appeal. These are all proved thatthe name "yellow sea" is worthy of the name.

Finally, the introduction of hot springs. We often speak of the hot springand visit is a former mountain huangshan hot spring hotel, also called essencein ancient times, from the stone mountain purple gushed out. Use it is namedafter the hot spring scenic area, south into the huangshan scenic area after thefirst arrived. Hot spring water, water is warm all the year round in 42 degrees,good water quality, and contains minerals beneficial to human body, has thecertain medical value, for skin diseases, rheumatism and digestive systemdisease, have certain curative effect. But only bath, cant drink; Cloud says itcan drink, it is unscientific.

In fact, the huangshan hot spring more than one place. In huangshan northslope of mountainous peaks, there is a hot spring, called GuAn, called tinsprings. Its hot springs hotel with shannan horizontal distance of 7.5kilometers, the elevation is close, the north-south symmetry, echo each other ata distance. It is strange enough. But because it is located in the remote is notthe development and utilization.

Dear friends, todays visit was over. Welcome you and your friends to visithuangshan again. Thank you very much!

Dear visitors, everybody!

I am yangzhou he garden "little academician", today, I take you to visit he garden!!!!!

Now we are going to visit this garden, located in yangzhou ancient canal bank xu ning 77 gate street, is a national key cultural relics protection units. It built in 1883, that is, the nine-year reign of qing emperor guangxu, is a large private garden in yangzhou at the end of a finale. Because the unique architectural style diversity, the compatible, match well of Chinese and western art style, become a classic representative of yangzhou gardens, is known as Chinas first gardens in late qing dynasty.

In fact, the earliest dont call he garden he garden, rather loud call send heights, because the garden owner surnamed he, people used to call it he garden. The ho family and a handful of Chinas modern history of the famous family relationship is very close, the beiyang minister li hongzhang, guangxu emperor is the teacher saying and town of (nai) children and in-laws, and together; And guangxu emperor wun tonghe another more famous teacher (he) as well as the qing court etiquette, zhang zhidong representative of westernization movement, have affinity. What he garden owner zhi 舠 young success, career progression, secretly convey salt industry, also has a huge wealth. What zhi 舠 49 years old, from hubei han Huang Dedao resign as he prowled the yangzhou, invested heavily zhou, build the home garden, swim in one large-scale private gardens.

He garden covers an area of more than 14000 square meters, building area of more than 7000 square meters, building part accounted for 50% of dominated area. Such building density, it is too big for garden, but people in the garden, not crowded, anti think everywhere and moderately, density, small in see big, distinct. This effect, by is the landscape on the architectural layout of quality, made in flat.

He garden whole districts include residential, garden and a small garden on a few parts, is the complete form of private gardens, parts of it already read separately, and interlocking, mutual penetration, form a are different, the tour be convenient to both inside and outside, nature and humanity, match well of Chinese and western living space, the aesthetic needs of the Chinese private gardens and practical function to achieve the perfect combination here.

Long-term since, our country now, contemporary a batch of famous garden experts are to he garden thus any rock-it, praise its unique gardening technique, is "alone" in the jiangnan garden. Also he garden as domestic film and television filming scenes of natural base, "a dream of red mansions", "green grass by the river", "the princess huanzhu" sequel, "the wrong sedan to marry on lang", "heaven tears" and so on nearly radix stemonae content, are all here to absorb a lot of beautiful scenery gardens.

Through the above introduction, I believe you have a preliminary impression of he garden, here, let us to appreciate each Chinas famous jiangnan alone.

He garden in the history of the front door is open in the alley, the south gate of the garden, now as the main entrance to the east gate, is a garden of opening to the outside world. After taking the door in the first place to visit is the eastern part of the back garden. Head on moon gate engraved on the "send the noise hill" MenE, and man is the master personally inscribed YuanMing. "Send the noise" two characters, respectively from the great poet tao yuanming of the eastern "to return the phraseology" in the sentence: "YiNa window to send ao, east gao to ShuXiao." Express the landscape pastoral poet valentine, not colluding with dark officialdom insistence. He garden owner has resigned a cloistered similar experience with tao yuanming, moral self-evident.

Yangzhou no mountains, but in the garden is no mountains, so often used in yangzhou garden flat fold stone to orogeny, "yangzhou to parks, gardens to fold Lin chuang" that is the case. East garden, the most magnificent landscape is on the right side of a mountain for more than 60 m stick wall, it is like embedded in the wall, along the wall to climb all the way, if swim longteng dumpling, stir together, to suppress previously closed high wall and a deep courtyard, into a embrace heaven and earth "mountain city" of the natural mountains and rivers. East gate sidewall mountain is famous of the jiangnan gardens climb mountain building stick wall, also known as Yang sent to stick wall mount. Stick a wall in the mountainside of the mountain, there is a high and low around the stone steps, twists and turns led street, has been reading to the academician childe floor. Through it, we can really grasp the essence of yangzhou stacked stone art.

Turned the exquisitely carved stone folding screen, first open the gate to welcome guests is peony hall. It features and name, from the east wall mount on the top of a brick a mountain. Mountain flower subjects derived from the traditional "blowing peony fung", at first glance seems not new. But look carefully you will find it in many other aspects of idea, layout, composition, art of using saber has distinctive characteristics of the whole picture compensated in see big coincidence, hides the magic close, is a high-quality goods.

Peony hall around the peony pool. Peony is He Yuanyuan flower, garden tear widespread tree peony, peony, breed is various, every year 4, 18 solstice 5, 18, is the annual "yangzhou fireworks in March tourism festival," he garden "swim gardens, reward famous flowers" opening theme fete activity also profusion, when a Cha red yan deeply purple swaying spring scenery, the elegant dress he garden a colorful world.

Peony hall in a hall, north on the construction decoration than more delicate, more gorgeous peony hall, it is the most creative in east garden complex structure from - Fu hin, also called ship hall. Because the modelling of hall like a boat, hall around the ground with pebbles, the paved tiles sparkling water, in the hall in front of a square stone walkway like boarding springboard, hall under low level is like a ships deck, hall hung on the pillars on both sides "flower month masters may visit, the walls for ship" for the home of the couplet, hall on the west side gallery walls inlaid with the present domestic the most preserved between su dongpo calligraphy "projects the placard" sharpening... Every detail and boat, and water, gardening art garden of drought, water is here in perfection.

But the most interesting is not ship building hall, but the story behind the hidden in the landscape architecture. The ship called Fu sea hin hall, is the owner, the symbol of life with the Lord, between the fate of life and the pursuit of associated with some mysterious.

Family originally from anhui wangjiang, one side is a bounded by water on three sides backer, born what zhi 舠 grew up here and ship the indissoluble bond; His name was "zhi 舠", meaning is a ship with vanilla; Twenty years into the official career, when the salt, LiangGuan until jianghan customs supervision, always in dealing with all kinds of transport ships, shipping... What zhi 舠 as jianghan customs supervision, in the process of dealing with westernization is often involved in hua yi the sharp conflict of the vortex, many times and make great efforts to safeguard national sovereignty and national dignity. In the face of the late qing dynasty government corrupt and incompetent he is worried about the long, his patriotic ambition may not be put to good use, even hard to preserve life. Weighed up the pros and cons, he chose the profession, their own life boat moored to the green eroilor guo the edge of the ancient canal.

Why also called Fu hin sea ship hall? More than two thousand years ago, Confucius traveled on a cart to travel for their claims said: "that doesnt work, I will take Fu Fu sea." Mean, if people dont accept my idea, Ill take a boat to go overseas. The ship hall is just what zhi 舠 idea of a "xuan Fu sea"?

Let a person cant help but sigh, 18 years later, has more than seventy - year - old garden again made a resign and when he prowled the equally amazing determination: abandon he garden, anchor sail, carrying the whole family headed to glamour to Shanghai to frolic in the waves. What zhi 舠 this magical boat gone, gone forever. Is the embodiment of his Fu sea hin to stay in the family home garden. To the posterity tells the story of the mood of the master and master.

The ship at the back of the hall on the northwest corner of the small building, was once he gardens landscape architecture. The family big childe He Sheng Hao here even chicken very eager, night lights, after having obtained in the metropolitan examinations from jiangnan to stand out, and at one stroke through will, position, mark, the imperial examination step grandfather ranyon footsteps, was the emperor appointed the academician, achievement a door between two academician of great glory. He garden was also an "academician childe reading floor". To read the display of building simple underprivileged students, dignified solemn and respectful family precepts and GongGongZhengZheng test paper and warm good news display together, set each other off becomes an interest, the people on the ancient truth "can foster learning". Reading/f., east to stick wall mount cragginess deng tao, "xuan Fu sea" in the south of tilting TaoBo, whether intentional design, or not a coincidence, its landscape is a famous ancient research couplet: "everybody has the way of diameter, learn the bitter as a boat."

Academician childe reading building is the symbol of he garden context. The ho family from zhi 舠 father this generation through the imperial examination made a big officer, also left a thick, learn from li family heirloom aristocrats. Dr Successively appeared between the academician, brother, father and daughter painter, member of siblings... Their stories, were displayed in jade XiuLou gallery in the ho family history.

HLLO! I am the guide from today - it took the JOB, one hour of time, wehave already came to the world-famous mount huangshan scenic spot. There aremany beautiful places of interest, very worth to come to sightseeing.

Huangshan mountain is located in the south of China in anhui province,belong to the part of the nanling mountains, the whole area of about 1200 squarekilometers. Interruption of huangshan mountains, is the essence of huangshanpart, that is what we want to browse the huangshan scenic area, the area ofabout 154 square kilometers. It in huangshan city, south rapidly, huizhou area,Hugh zhengning county and yixian county, huangshan mountain in the north area;These five counties and districts also belong to the jurisdiction of thehuangshan city.

Huangshan has a magical legend. It before the tang dynasty in China calledYi mountain, Yi is black, because the mountain rocks, green black and blueblack, the ancients gave it a name. Regulus legends we Chinese in the first raceat the completion of the central plains of the yellow emperor unifiedemployment. Start after the Chinese civilization, herb gathering here analchemist, in the hot spring bathing, thus be immortal. The famous tang dynastyemperor Ming huang lung-chi lee very believe this, just under the tianbao sixyears (747) a rescript, will Yi renamed to huangshan mountain, does it mean, isthis mountain is the mountain of the yellow emperor. Since then, has been tohuangshan this name now, you got it.

Below, I put the "four unique" huangshan to do a presentation,respectively.

Speak of the "four unique" huangshan, in the first, of course, is loose.Huangshan pines are first in its very tenacious vitality, you have seen withoutsurprise. Say commonly, wherever there is soil can grow plants and crops, andhuangshan is comes from the hard stone Huang Gang steadily. Huangshan pinegrowing everywhere, they peak, long long cliffs, long valley in the mountains,lush, full of vitality.

Odd rocks, constitute the huangshan scenic landscape and a "perfect". Inhuangshan everywhere can see strange form strange rocks, the rock looksdifferent, some like, some like things, some reflects some of the myths andlegends and historical stories, lifelike, vivid and interesting. Known in about121 stone, there are higher up the "flying stone", "fairy playing chess","magpie on mei", ", "the monkey view sea"...

Some of these rocks have a plenty of a monster, kit kat and exquisite; Someindependent into a scene; Have a plenty of several combination or with pinecombined together into a scene.

Besides, the sea of clouds. Although other famous mountains in China alsocan see the sea of clouds, but no one can be comparable to huangshan sea ofclouds as spectacular and infinite change.

About it is for this reason, huangshan mountain has another name, calledhuangshan sea. This is not a vain, has a history for sign. Ming dynasty renownedone local Chronicles, called Pan Zhiheng, lived in huangshan for decades, wrotea 60 volumes process book, huangshan mountain, called it "the yellow sea. Someof huangshan scenic spots, hotels and many landscape named, is associated withthis special "sea", if some landscape view in the sea of clouds, will appearmore real, more lasting appeal. These are all proved that the name "yellow sea"is worthy of the name.
