颐和园英文导游词

good morning ladies and gentlemen:

my name is . i’m very honored to be youre guide. i do hope all of you could like my guiding and enjoy everything on your pleasant day. this morning we are going to visit the summer palace. the summer palace is located on the northwest suburbs of beijing, about 20 kilometers away from the center of the city. so it will take us about 1 hour to get there. before we arrived at the summer palace, i would like to introduce you a brief introduction of the woderful imperial garden. the summer palace is the most beautiful and the largest imperial garden existing in chinan, and it is the best-preserved imperial garden in the world. in 1998, it was placed on the list of world cultural heritage by the unesco.

the summer palace was first built as an imperial garden at the beginning of 12th century in the jin dynasty. the construction continued to the yuan and ming dynasties. in the qing dynasty, the building of imperial gardens reached its culmination. during emperor qianlong’s reign, the famous ‘three hills and five gardens’ were built on the northwest suburbs of beijing. the summer palace was a part of it and at that time was called the garden of clear ripples. in 1860, the anglo-french allied forces invaded beijing. the ‘three hills and five gardens’ were burnt down to ashes.

in 1888, the empress dowager cixi spent the navy fund having the garden of clear ripples rebuilt. and then she renamed it the garden of nurtured harmony (summer palace).

in 1900, the allied forces of eight powers invaded beijing. the summer palace was once again severely damaged. it was rebuilt again in 1902.

in 1924, the last emperor puyi was driven out of the palace, after that, the summer palace was turned into a public park.

ladies and gentlemen, please look over there, in front of us is an archway. it is called “emptiness and the collection of excellence”, and it is the first scenery of the summer palace. the two chinese words on the front side of the archway mean emptiness and refer to everything in nature and in the scenery. the two words on the back side mean collection of excellence and refer to the tranquility of the beautiful scenery just within the garden.

(outside the east palace gate)

now, we have arrived at the east palace gate. it’s the main entrance of the summer palace. on top of the gate there is a plaque with three chinese characters ‘the summer palace’ in emperor guangxu’s handwriting. the gate that we are now entering was used by the emperor, the empress only in the old days.

(inside the east palace gate)

now we are inside the summer palace. in front of us is the second gate of the summer palace— the gate of benevolence and longevity. the annex halls on both sides were used for officials on duty and the offices of the privy council. well, before we start our tour in the garden, i will briefly introduce you the layout of the summer palace and our tour route. o.k., ladies and gentlemen, may i have your attention please? let’s look at the map together, from it we can see the summer palace covers an area of 290 hectares, which the lake occupies the three-fourths. the whole garden can be divide into three parts: the area was for political activities, resting places of the emperor and empress, and sightseeing areas. our tour will start from the area of the political activities, and end off the marble boat. on the way, we will visit the main constructions of the summer palace, such as the hall of jade ripples, the hall of happiness and longevity, the long corridor, the hall of dispelling clouds and so on. it will take us about two hours to visit the summer palace. please attention, we won’t walk back and our driver will pick us up at the north gate. should you get lost or separated from the group, please meet us at the north gate.

ok, everyone, let’s start our tour from the emperors’ office --- the hall of benevolence and longevity. follow me please.

(inside the courtyard of the benevolence and longevity)

passing through the gate of benevolence and longevity, we have already entered the courtyard of the hall of benevolence and longevity. the huge rock in front of us is taihu rock. it was quarried from taihu lake in jiangsu province, so it was known as taihu rock. please look around the courtyard and you can see there are four grotesque shaped rocks placed in each corner of this courtyard, representing the four seasons of the year. the taihu rocks are usually used as decoration for beautifying gardens and they are thin, crease, leak and penetration in characters.

the bronze mythical animal behind the taihu rock is known as suanni or some people call it qilin. according to ancient chinese mythology, the dragon had nine sons, but none of them became a real dragon. suanni was one of the nine sons of the dragon. it was an auspicious animal that could avoid evil spirits in ancient lengeds. suanni has the head of dragon, the antlers of dear, the hooves of ox and the tail of lion.

(in front of the hall of benevolence and longevity)

this grand hall is the hall of benevolence and longevity. it was first built in 1750. the name of this hall taken from a book entitled ‘lun yu’ by confucius doctrine means, “ those who are benevolent can enjoy a long life.” this hall was the place where emperor guangxu and empress dowager cixi held audience and handled state affairs when they were in the summer palace. for protecting the historical cultural relic, we couldn’t enter the hall. so i would like to briefly introduce you the decorations in the hall of benevolence and longevity. the arrangement of the hall has been left untouched. in the middle of the hall stands an emperor’s throne carved with nine dragons on design. there are two big fans on both sides behind the throne which are made of peacock feathers. behind the throne there is a big screen with red sandalwood frame and glass mirror inlaid. on the mirror there are 226 chinese characters of the word ‘longevity’ written in different styles. there are two scrolls on each side of the wall with a big chinese character ‘longevity’ written on it. it was said that the word ‘longevity’ written by empress dowager cixi. there are 100 bats painted at the background of the scroll symbolizing happiness.

well, please look up the two pairs of incense burners in the shape of a dragon and a phoenix in front of the hall. they were used to burn incense sticks to create the appropriate atmosphere. in the old days, the dragon and phoenix were the symbol of the emperor and empress. according to ritual, the dragons should be placed in the center while phoenixes were to either side in front of the hall.however, here, the dragons are off to the sides and the phoenixes are in the middle. this was a product of the end of qing dynasty when empress dowager cixi handled state affairs behind the screen.

(at the entrance of garden of virtuour harmony)

we are now visiting the garden of virtuous harmony, where emperor qianlong and empress dowager cixi were entertained with bejing opera performances. it mainly consists of the dressing house, the grand theater building and the hall of pleasure smile. the grand theater building was known as the ‘cradle of beijing opera’ was uniquely laid out and magnificently decorated. there are 7 exhibition halls with articles of daily use on display here.

(in front of the grand theater building)

this is the grand theater building. of the three main theater buildings of the qing dynasty, the grand theater building is the tallest and largest one. the other two are changyin pavilion in the forbidden city and qingyin pavilion in the mountain resort in chengde. the grand theater building, a three-storied structure, has a double roof with upturned eaves. it is 21 meters high and 17 meters wide. performances could be staged simultaneously on three levels. the top one was a symbol of happiness, the middle level was emolument level and the bottom stage was named longevity stage. each level has the entrance and the exit. there are some trapdoors in the ceiling and below the floor for ‘celestial being’ to fly down from the sky and the ‘devils’ to appear from the earth to set off a certain atmosphere on the stage. there is also a well and five ponds built under the stage for a good effect of water scenes. the stage is open to three sides.

well, please look at the construction that stands right opposite the grand theater building, it’s the hall of pleasure smile. the empress dowager cixi used bo sit inside the hall to watch and enjoy the peking opera.

(a lakeside walk from the garden of virtuous harmony to the hall of jade ripples)

we are now standing in the middle of a rockery behind the hall of benevolence and longevity. it appears that there’s nothing special ahead. however, after we clear the rockery, we will reach kunming lake. this is an application of a specific style of chinese

gardening.

now, we are walking along the bank of the kunming lake. look over there, not far away in the lake there is an islet. it’s called the spring heralding islet. the pavilion on the islet is called the spring heralding pavilion. a number of willow trees and peach trees were planted on this islet. in early spring, when the ice begins to melt, peach trees are red in pink blossoms, willow trees turn a tender green signaling that the early spring has returned. hence the name ‘heralding sping pavilion’.

(in front of the hall of jade ripples)

this group of special and quiet courtyard dwellings is the hall of jade ripples. the words “jade ripples” came from a verse “gentle ripples gushing out of jade spring”, which refers to the rippling water in the lake. it was first used by emperor qianlong to attend to state affairs. in the late qing dynasty, it was where emperor guangxu was put under house arrest.

this hall is a hallmark of the movement of 1898. emperor guangxu was emperor dowager cixi’s nephew. after emperor tongzhi died, emperor dowager cixi made her nephew, who was at that time four years old a successor in order to continue her hold on imperial power. she ‘handled state affairs behind the screen’. after emperor guangxu ‘managed state affairs personally’ at the age of 19, a political conflict occurred between the conservatives and the reformers. in 1898, the reform movement took place with the aim of sustaining the core principles of the qing dynasty while reforming outdated laws. the movement lasted for103 days until it was suppressed by empress dowager cixi. it was called the ‘hundred-day reform’. after the reform failed, emperor guangxu was put under house arrest here. for the strict control of him, empress dowager cixi ordered to build many brick walls in the front, back, and on the right and left of the hall of jade ripples. at that time the hall was entirely sealed up, just like a prison. today only the hidden walls in the east and west annex room still maintain its original appearance. it is open to visitors as the relic related to the 1898 reform movement.

(in front of the chamber of collecting books)

this is the chamber of collecting books. in chinese, it’s called “yi yun guang”. “yun” was a kind of fragrant weed. in ancient times, it was usually used as termite repellent in rooms where books were stored.in the emperor qianlong’s reign, the purpose of the hall was for collecting books. later it was converted into a residence. there used to be the residence of guangxu’s empress longyu, and his favorite concubine zhenfei.

(in the hall of happiness and longevity)

this group of courtyard is the hall of happiness and longevity. it was the major architectural structure in the living quarters and the residence of empress dowager cixi. the whole compound was basically made of wood, which is ideal for ventilation and lighting. with its quiet and tasteful layout, the hall of happiness and longevity made life very easy and convenient. in front of the hall of happiness and longevity there is a huge rock placed in the middle of this courtyard named “qing zhi xiu” and nicknamed as “family bankruptcy rock”. this huge rock was discovered in fangshan district by a ming official mi wanzhong. he wanted to transport it to his own garden “shaoyuan”. in the old days, transporting such rock was very difficult. after spending all his money to ship it, he still could not succeed in doing this. the big rock was then left on the roadside somewhere near liangxiang county, 30 kilometers southwest of beijing. hence it was nicknamed “family bancruptcy rock”. later emperor qianlong discovered it and transported to the garden of clear ripples and laid in front of the hall of happiness and longevity. the colorful glass chandeliers hanging inside the hall was introduced from germany in 1903. it is one of the earliest electric lights in china.

(in front of the gate of inviting the moon of the long corridor)

ladies and gentlemen, you may have visited some of the best museums in the world, such as the louvre in france and the museum of great britain. now i will show you a special gallery in the palace—the long corridor. in 1990, the long corridor was listed in the guinness book of world records as ‘the longest painted corridor’ in the world’. it would be a pity if we leave the summer palace without visiting the long corridor and the marble boat. now, here we go, the long corridor first!

(strolling along the long corridor)

the long corridor starts from the gate inviting the moon to the shizhang gate. it is 728 meters long and consists of 273 sections. the long corridor is one of the major structures of the summer palace. since the corridor was designed to follow the physical features of the southern slope of longevity hill, four multiple-eaved, octagonal pavilions ( retaining the goodness pavilion, living with the ripples pavilion, autumn water pavilion, clear and far pavilion) were placed at bends and undulation, they represent four seaons of a year. thus visitors will hardly notice the rise and fall of the terrain. as a major part of the architectural style of the summer palace, the long corridor serves as an ingenious connector between the lake and the hill. scattered buildings on the southern slope were linked to create a unified complex.

the long corridor is the longest covered veranda in any chinese garden. on the purlins and beams of the covered veranda, there are over 14,000 suzhou style paintings. among them, there are 546 color paintings relating to the scenes of west lake in hangzhou, zhejiang province. beside the colorful paintings of natural scenery, there are also scenes of flowers, birds, fish, insects, mythology and figures. the paintings of figures are mainly adapted from ancient chinese classical literature, such as ‘pilgrimage to the west’, ‘the romance of the three kingdoms’, ‘the western chamber’, “water margin’, and ‘the dream of the red mansion’.

(in front of the gate of dispelling clouds)

now we are approaching the central part of the structures on the lakeside slope, the tower of buddhist incense within the hall of dispelling clouds. the central axis line starts from the wharf next to the lake to the sea of wisdom on top of the hill. the main architectural structures here are the gate of dispelling clouds, hall of dispelling clouds, tower of buddhist incense and the sea of wisdom, which altogether form a splendid three-dimensional landscape. the layout of this group of architectures was based on scenes described in buddhist sutras. this group of structures are among the most magnificently constructed here in the summer palace. this is a good place to taking photos, we will stay here for about 15 minutes.

now we are walking continuely along the long corridor, the next scene we are going to visit is marble boat.

look over there! halfway up the slope there stands the hall of listening to orioles. it was the place for emperor and empress to enjoy opera and court music. it is said the singing of orioles is very pleasing. before the garden of virtuous harmony was built, empress dowager cixi enjoyed opera and music here. now the hall is one of the most famous restaurants in china, featuring imperial dishes and desserts.

this is the famous marble boat. a famous scientist of china’s eastern han dynasty once said, “water can float the boat, but it can also tip it over.” a prime minister of tang dynasty wei zheng once used these words to persuade li shimin, the emperor of the tang dynasty. he said people are water and the emperor is the boat. people can support a good emperor. however, they also can overthrow the dynasty. emperor qianlong built this huge boat in the garden in order to make the allusion concrete. on one hand, emperor qianlong encouraged himself to run the country well. on the other hand, he wanted to show that his rule of the qing dynasty was as firm as the marble boat and there was no fear of overturning the boat. the marble boat was the place for emperor qianlong to sample tea and enjoy the scenery of kunming lake. emperor qianlong once came here to engage in the freeing of captive animals. in the times of qianlong, the marble boat was a chinese styled stone boat with a chinese style wooden superstructure on the top of it. when it was rebuilt in the times of guangxu, a foreign and chinese elements mixed resulting in two wheels to be added to the boat, one on each side. the floor was paved with colored bricks. all of the windows were inlaid with multiple-colored glass. a big mirror was installed on the superstructure for viewing rain.

our tour is drawing to a close after we visited the marble boat. today we only visited the major scenic spots of the summer palace. i have left other spots of interest for your next visit. i will now show you out through the ruyi gate. our coach is waiting for us outside the gate. i do hope you enjoyed today’s tour. thank you.

Paris seems to have always been a dream city. In the official web site, it is called "the city of light", the light in the western mind has always been an incarnation of god, perhaps Paris man think himself to be nearer to god. It is no wonder that xu zhimo was lamented: "must have been to Paris wont rare heaven." Also some people call it "Babylon", that is the American writer Fitzgeralds novel "the return to the king of Babylon," call of Paris -- a dream only luxury and pleasure. Perhaps no one can tell what is a city in Paris, but everyone is convinced that they spent in Paris is life the most unforgettable day.

Most visitors look forward to in our hearts, is an ancient and romantic Paris, the champs elysees, place DE la Concorde, along the Louvre, the arc DE triomphe perfect central axis began their trip. Indeed, Paris is a city of great history, places of interest here are enough to make people linger. With these classic sites and another in Paris, a full of the flavor of halfback and Bohemian Paris.

As long as ride the subway in Paris, can clearly feel that. Paris metro has a long history, some station has intact the original style, it looks like an antique museum, and some of the station is full of futuristic, like a science fiction world, such as la defence underground station. From a station on the ground, standing in front of you is the worlds unique exaggeration of "new" arc DE triomphe. In fact this is a can accommodate 5000 people, office building, its uniqueness is the can put the Notre Dame DE Paris in the door. It is interesting to note that the new is in the Louvre arc DE triomphe, champs elysees, place DE la Concorde, the central axis, arc DE triomphe wickedly from the arc DE triomphe, ambition is to break the perfect harmony.

So "renegade" by no means the only building in Paris. If the Louvre represents the ancient civilization of France, the pompidou center is a symbol of modern Paris. Here is the palace of avant-garde art, exhibited since the 20th century western various style of art. And the design of the center itself is also gives people a strong visual impact of the avant-garde

Architectural art. All the columns, stair, pipeline and so on used to deliberately hiding things are on the outside, the whole building seemed to be colorful pipe and reinforced with chemical factory. When the "monster" also had a criticism, but now it has with other classical architecture of Paris.

City of Paris is perhaps the most popular with foreigner, it almost became the "mecca" of literature and art, how many world famous artists and writers live here? Still asked how many havent been to Paris, calculation easier that way. After the middle of the 19th century, Paris is became an exile of the city. Here have a relaxed political atmosphere, students, scholars, artists of the counter culture trend, the so-called culture, so people choose to Paris to stray. 20 and 30 s of the 20th century, Paris brought together so many American writers, including Hemingway, Fitzgerald. This group of young people longing for a better life is impact of world war I have nowhere to hide, they can not stand, escape, they need to be artistic atmosphere, because they will continue to make a living by writing, at the same time they also cant throw senses and material comforts, they need to coffee, and need a woman

Wine, need to dance, and they escaped to Paris. Their only choice is Paris, also seems to be only Paris can tolerate this group has lucid, occasionally drunk young people. They are just passers-by in Paris, but it left a deep imprint in here. They let Paris eternal moment, also part of your life will always stay in Paris. Walk on the river Seine, sitting on the sidewalk cafes, a foreigner may understand the light blue and the city of Paris street complex. Here in the last century a "lost generation" left too many stray and sentimental, lingering until today. Walking in Paris when you never know what will leave it a little longer in the memory, is the arc DE triomphe or afternoon in an outdoor cafe for a cup of coffee.

"Paris is more than a place, it has become a state of mind." No matter who you are, can be in the nostalgia and halfback, both quiet and noisy, internationalization and localization of the city to find your need a dose of antidote to the soul. In this sense, is best suited to foreigner stay in Paris. Appreciate the Mona Lisa, you can go to the Louvre also can go to the centre pompidou see Picasso. You can go to the Paris opera, also can go to the moulin rouge on the champs elysees; You can come to Paris to escape life, also can simply enjoy life here.

In fact, Paris everywhere all over the world. Perhaps you have never been to Paris, but youre probably in the city of your life a cafe called "left bank" linger; You dont have to out, you can enjoy from Paris (or claims) from Paris fashion products, can feel the "spring" in Paris. But when are you going to take a trip to Paris really?

Little meng thanks everybodys all the way support to my job andunderstands that also in here.

Hope that everybody gets chance to come to Dalian again, small Meng and mylocation (所在)__ travel service will be that you provide (提供)the service usingmore well.

Wish everybodys returning journey all smooth God-speed finally!

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.

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

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

太和门东庑中间的门叫协和门，西庑中间的门叫熙和门。太和门、协和门、熙和门加上前朝三大殿的太和殿、中和殿、保和殿称为“六合”。在太和门两旁还有两道门，分别为昭德门和贞度门。

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

大家请看，远处正前方是一片汉白玉雕砌的三层高台基，呈“土”字形，俗称“三台”。台基高8.13米，台边缘高7.12米，三层台基间，分列着18尊鼎式香炉。在每一层基座的边缘都伸出很多小龙头，那些小龙的名字叫“螭”，是传说中一种没有角的龙，这些小龙头实际上是大殿的排水系统。如果仔细看会发现每个龙头的嘴里都有一个小孔，即喷水孔，三层基座之上共设小龙头1142个，每当下大雨的时候，雨水便从1142个龙头嘴里的小孔内排出，非常壮观。为管中一景，被称为“千龙吐水”。三重台基承托着雄伟的三大殿，这就是故宫的中心建筑--太和殿、中和殿、保和殿。其中太和殿位于“土”字形须弥座的南部，各位可以先在这里留个影，然后我们就去参观太和殿。

好!现在我们面前这座高台上的宏伟建筑就是太和殿，也就是民间所说的“金銮宝殿”。太和殿是紫禁城的正殿，被视为黄泉的象征。太和殿始建于明永乐年间，原名奉天殿，嘉靖年间重建后改称皇极殿。清初顺治年间改称太和殿，康熙年间又两次大规模改造，才有今天我们看到的太和殿的规模。“太和”二字出自《周易*乾* 彖辞传》中的“乾道变化，各证性命，保合大和乃利贞。”“太”即大，“和”即和谐。意思是在天道的主宰夏，阴阳和合，太和元气常运不息，万物和谐共存。太和殿面阔11间，进深5间，殿高35.05米，面积约2377平方米。它是紫禁城乃至全国现存的最高、最大、最尊贵的宫殿，也是现存的中国宫殿建筑中规模最大的一座。太和殿在清明两代是举行大朝礼的地方。每逢元旦、冬至、万寿，即皇帝生日这三大节及皇帝登基、大婚、命将出征、金殿传胪等重大活动都要在他喝点举行隆重的庆典。此外，冬至圜丘坛大忌、孟春圜丘坛常雩礼、孟春祁谷坛前一日，皇帝也都要在太和殿阅视祭祀祝版。

大家请抬头看太和殿的屋顶，太和殿屋顶是采用古建筑中等级最高的重檐庑殿顶。屋顶正脊上两头的这两大琉璃构件叫大吻，吻上的龙形有镇火的意思。除了装饰性，它的使用功能是密合殿顶正脊和垂脊的交会处，以防风雨侵蚀。这两个大吻高3.4米，宽2.68米，重4.3吨，由13块琉璃构件组成，是现存古建中最大的吻。太和殿殿顶四面坡的筒子瓦上镶有琉璃帽钉两排，垂脊上还有10个垂脊兽，分别是龙、凤、狮、海马、天马、押鱼、狻猊、獬豸、斗牛、行什，脊兽钱是骑凤仙人。脊兽和帽钉既有装饰作用又有实用性，他们起着固定屋顶琉璃瓦的作用。在我国古代，脊兽的数量依照建筑物的等级高低而不同，数量越多，代表了殿宇等级越高。太和殿的脊兽共有10只，全国只有故宫的太和殿是这样。此外，太和殿装饰用的彩绘也是最高等级的金龙和玺。

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

在明清两代，凡遇到三大节举行庆典前，皇帝在赶赴太和殿之前，都要在中和殿稍作休息，接受内阁、内大臣、都察院、翰林院官员及侍卫人员的朝贺。如果遇到皇帝亲自参加方泽、太庙、社稷及历代帝王庙、先师孔子、朝日、夕月等重大几点的时候，皇帝还要提前一天在中和殿阅览祝文，检查种子和农具。

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

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

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

好啦!故宫的前三点讲解到此结束，现在请大家参观保和殿并稍作休息，我们10分钟后集合，谢谢大家!

Entering the Meridian Gate, there are five marble bridges on the Inner Golden Water River, shaped like a bow. The five marble bridges just look like five arrows reporting symbolically to heaven. The five bridges were supposed to represent the five virtues preached by Confucius-benevolence, righteousness, rite, intelligence and fidelity.

Across the Inner Golden Water Bridge, we get to the Gate of Supreme Harmony. During the Ming and early Qing dynasties, here was the place where the emperor gave his audience, accepted documents from his ministers and made decisions here. There are two bronze lions guarding in front of the Gate of Supreme Harmony. The male lion was usually put on the left, playing with an embroidered design ball, which is said to show the emperors supreme power. The other one on the right is the female lion, playing with a lion cub with its left paw symbolizing prosperity of the royal familys offsprings.

Across the Gate of Supreme Harmony , we come to the Hall of Supreme Harmony. Here the emperor held grand ceremonies such as the emperors enthronement ceremony, the wedding ceremony, dispatched generals to the battles, and the emperor received the successful candidates of the imperial examination etc. Also, the emperor held grand feasts each year on New Years Day, Winter solstice and his own birthday.

The Hall of Supreme Harmony is 35.5 meters high with double layered roof that represents the highest construction rank of all. Now, lets ascend the stairs and move on to look at articles in display on two sides of the hall. On the top layer of the terrace stands a sundial on the east an imperial grain measure on the west. The sundial is an ancient time measure or a time-measuring apparatus used in the old days. The sundial tells the time by seeing the shadow of the metal pin on the sundial, which has an inclination angle of 50 degrees with the graduation on it. The grain measure was used as the national standard measure in agriculture in the old days. Both the grain measure and the sundial were symbols of the emperors justice and rectitude.

There are two pairs of incense burners in the shape of bronze dragon-headed tortoises and bronze cranes placed on each side. They are both symbols of longevity.

When you look up the building in the Forbidden City, you can see mythical animal statues on the eaves of each building. Originally, there used to be big wooden nails on the roof to prevent the tiles from sliding down. Later they were replaced by glazed tiles, which were shaped into mythical animal statues for better beautification. They are symbols of auspiciousness and peace, and people believed that they are capable of subduing fire and warding off evil spirits.

Inside of the Hall of Supreme Harmony, you can see the gilded caisson ceiling high above the throne with a magnificent sculpture of a curling dragon playing with a huge pear was called “Xuanyuan Jing”， representing orthodox succession.

This hall is supported by 72 giant columns inside. In the old days, the traditional way of the Chinese to calculate a “room” is that: a square enclosed by four pillars was treated as one “room”， so the hall can be said to have 55 “rooms” in total. The six columns inside are gilded and painted with coiled dragon amidst clouds, and the rest are painted red.

The emperors throne is placed on the dais in the center, and carved in cloud and dragon patterns and gilded. On both sides of the throne are a pair of elephant-shaped incense burners symbolize universal peace and two incense burners shaped as a mythical animal 9,000 kilometers per day and speaking all the languages of nearby kingdoms. Around the throne stand a pair of bronze cranes and in front of the dais is four cloisonné incense burners. The floor on the ground is paved with “Gold Bricks”， specially made in Suzhou.

The Hall of Middle Harmony is a square-shaped hall with a single pyramidic roof standing behind the Hall of Supreme Harmony. This was the place where the emperor would take a short rest before he went to the Hall of Supreme Harmony for grand ceremonies. Every year before the emperor went to the Altars and Temples, the emperor would receive and read the sacrificial address here.

Before the emperor went to the Altar of Agriculture for offering the sacrifice, the seeds intended for spring sowing and the ploughs were examined here, just to show the concern of the emperor for agriculture.

According to the rule, the imperial genealogy should be revised every ten years. The ceremony of presenting the genealogy to the emperor for revision and approval would also be held here.

Now, we come to the Hall of Preserving Harmony, the last of the three front halls.

In the Ming and Qing dynasties, on each New Years Eve and the 15th day of the lunar moth, banquets would be held to entertain the civil and military officials and the princes and envoys of the Mongolian nobles and other nationalities. To celebrate the princesss marriage, the emperor would incite the bridegroom and his father as well as their relatives who served for the imperial government to a banquet.

The Imperial Palace Exam was held here once every three years in the Qing dynasty.

Just behind the Hall of Preserving Harmony, there is a big Marble Rampcarved with mountain cliffs, sea waves, clouds and nine dragons. It is 16.57 meters long, 3.07 meters wide and 1.7 meters thick, and weighs about 250 tons.

Fellow tourists, now our automobile is going on the Badaling highway,must enter the Badaling scenic area immediately which soon visits.Front that mountain is the Jundu, the Badaling Great Wall occupies onthis mountain. In the Spring and Autumn Period Warring States time,our country ancient times the people on already started to constructthe Great Wall, at that time the feudal lord strove for hegemony, inorder to protect own territory not to encroach, therefore hasconstructed the Great Wall in abundance in respective boundary, wascalled mutually guards against the Great Wall.

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 20xx, successively some more than 20 feudallords country and the feudal dynasty all has constructed the GreatWall, some people have made the sketchy computation, if the Great Wallwill rebuild together the height 5 meters, the depth 1 meter big wall,will many circle the Earth 10 many all to have the wealth. Famousfolklore: The beacon-fire play feudal lord and Meng Jiangnyu cry GreatWall also is occurs in the Great Wall. Now, the Great Wall afterpasses through several time repairs and maintains, basically restoredthe former appearance, is included in 1987 by the United NationsEducational, Scientific and Cultural Organization "World cultureInheritance Name list", moreover it or now in world longest defensivecity wall! Proliferated the our country 16 areas, the span hasachieved 10. 80,000 miles.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

The classmates, you all know Qingdao there are many scenic spots like pier, shilaoren, the rainforest valley, laoshan, 10 MeiAn, underwater world, zhongshan park, etc., they are all Qingdao "bright spot". Especially the trestle, shilaoren, laoshan, underwater world, a trip to visit people is an endless stream. There is also a scenic spot is given by nature and that is the sea.

The sea gives us a lot of opportunities, take the 20xx Olympic Games, for instance, Qingdao, is because of the sea, so can get the sailing events held. The sea. Has given us power, when you are tired, a glance at the sea, will vanish in fatigue. When you are stressed, looked at the boundless sea, will throw heart outside the cloud nine. The vast sea is like the sea of knowledge, let us know about the many, many. Underwater world is built under the sea.

In autumn, in laoshan, the rainforest valley, ten MeiAn is the autumn wind the leaves, the earth looks like a layer of orange on the shop carpet, the man walk on the soft, can be fun! And it is so beautiful.

Qingdao is so beautiful, I dont want this kind of beautiful landscape is those who litter destroyed, so we should protect the environment, make Qingdao a city with the sea more beautiful!

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. After the victory of the Anti Japanese War,he went to Chinese Taiwan, taught in various colleges and universities in Taipei, andnow lives in the United States). Mr. Li recalled that after Japan launched thebrutal war of aggression against China in 1937, it moved fiercely to centralChina, and the situation in Wuhan became increasingly tense. In April 1938,Wuhan University moved to Leshan, Sichuan Province. Wang Xinggong, President ofWuhan University, decided to appoint Tang Zibing and other five people to stayin Han Dynasty. In October, after the Japanese army occupied Wuhan, Tang et al.Evaded the French concession in Hankou, and Wuhan University became theheadquarters of the Japanese army in the Central Plains. On campus, there aremore than 100 cadres of the first Japanese regiment, whose headquarters arelocated in the College of Arts. The three academies of Arts, science andengineering are used by a large number of civil servants in the Central Plainscommand of the Japanese army. The dormitories for professors are occupied bysenior Japanese officials. The dining room (the first canteen for collegestudents) is upstairs and downstairs by the Japanese army field hospital. Afterthe Japanese army occupied Wuhan University, Tang Zibing took his wife(Japanese) and the left behind personnel to negotiate with the Japanese armyinside the University, demanding that the Japanese army strictly protect thecampus facilities of Wuhan University. The interviewee was the commander of theregiment, 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 theopportunity for Japan to handle the post logistics

His attitude is more amiable. Takahashi made it clear that "we should tryour best to protect this cultural area which is more beautiful than the sunlightand Hakone in Japan." he also said: "only when the spring is bright andbeautiful, we still need flowers and trees to decorate it. We can plant cherryblossoms here from Japan to enhance our mood." Then he led Tang to the Collegeof liberal arts and told long that they were going to plant cherry trees in thefuture (now the cherry garden avenue) to show that they had made up their mindto plant cherry trees every day. Tang Zibing was not satisfied with the Japanesearmys method of planting cherry trees, because cherry trees are the nationalflower of Japan. He wanted to plant them in Wuhan University for a long time,but he didnt dare to oppose them publicly. So he came up with the suggestionthat "plum blossom can be planted at the same time" when planting Japanesecherry trees. On the surface, Takahashi objected to Tangs suggestion, sayingonly: "cherry seedlings are easy to get, plum seeds are hard to find. Next year,you can come to enjoy cherry trees." in fact, he denied Tangs opinion. From Mr.Tangs recollection, we infer that Japanese cherry blossom was first planted inWuhan Tianxue in 1939

East Lake cherry garden, one of the three largest cherry garden in theworld, can be called the three largest cherry garden in the world together withHongqian cherry garden in Japan and Washington cherry garden in the UnitedStates. First of all, the garden covers an area of nearly 200 mu, and its gardenand architectural layout are exquisite, exquisite and high-grade. More than 5000cherry trees have been planted with 20 varieties, most of which are from Japan.Second, the garden adapts measures to local conditions, and combines Chinesegarden style and Japanese harmony garden style organically. Chinese and Japaneselandscape experts and aestheticians who have been here all give high evaluation.It can be seen that Japanese Cherry Blossom experts can not overestimate thatthe garden is one of the three largest Cherry Blossom gardens in the world. Theunique East Lake cherry garden east lake cherry garden is located in thebeautiful Moshan scenic area. The elegant Chinese garden and the heavy Japaneseharmony architecture are integrated into one, which can be described as the bestof the scenery. For example, the landmark "five tower" in the park is dignifiedand exquisite; the "Red Bridge" passing through the water, the "stream" withstrange rocks, the floating colorful "island in the lake", the extraordinary"Bird House" and the complacent "carp flag" all give visitors a relaxed andhappy sense of beauty. The area of the garden is large, the terrain isundulating, and the cherry trees are planted in pieces. The age of the trees isup to 40 years. There are many varieties and colorful. There are single petalsas bright as clouds, double petals as magnificent, and the colors are pink,water red, purple, white, etc. there are also drooping cherry flowers that arehard to see in other places. The early, middle and late varieties of cherryblossoms in the garden have a flowering period of more than 20 days, which makesup for the short flowering period of single cherry blossom and takes a long timeto appreciate. East Lake cherry garden becomes famous

Donghu cherry garden was built in 1978. In memory of Premier Zhou Enlai(the 78th anniversary of Premier Zhous birth), former Japanese Prime MinisterTanaka presented Deng Yingchao with 78 cherry trees. Deng Yingchao chose Wuhanas the planting site of the 78 cherry trees, which were planted on the Bank ofDonghu Lake and the South foot of Moshan mountain. In 1997, the Wuhan municipalgovernment invited Japanese experts to visit the site for many times and decidedto expand the East Lake cherry garden. In 1998, the East Lake Scenic AreaAdministration and the luao Bank of Japan jointly invested 15 million yuan inthe construction of the park. In March, the cherry blossom garden was opened towelcome guests. The construction of the park took nearly 30 years, but it is arecent year that it has formed such a scale and characteristics. Since theexpansion of the garden, through the careful design and hard cultivation ofChinese and Japanese experts (especially in recent years, more than 20 batchesof Japanese Cherry Blossom experts have come to the garden for technicalguidance and cultivation), the cherry trees in the garden have been able to growvigorously, making this years East Lake cherry garden "flower like sea, peoplelike tide".

Wuhan East Lake Moshan cherry garden is located in the southern foot ofMoshan near Meiyuan, covering an area of 150 mu, with 5000 cherry trees. Thefirst batch of cherry blossoms planted in the garden were presented to DengYingchao by former Japanese Prime Minister Kakuei Tanaka, and then transferredto Donghu by Deng Yingchao. The vast majority of cherry blossoms now are jointlyinvested and planted by China and Japan in 1998. Moshan cherry garden in WuhanEast Lake, Hongqian cherry garden in Aomori County, Japan and Washington cherrygarden in the United States are known as the three largest cherry capital in theworld. Moshan cherry blossom garden is centered on the five tower imitatingJapanese architecture, with Japanese garden style ponds, islands, streams,Hongqiao, niaoju and Doumen,

Even the management room and the ticket office are well-designed imitativeJapanese buildings. During the opening period of cherry blossom, the park willregularly play Japanese folk songs and provide many Japanese snacks. The wholescenic spot is full of Japanese customs. Walking into Moshan cherry garden inWuhan East Lake, thousands of cherry blossoms are blooming on the greenhillside. Breeze blowing, swaying flowers, falling flowers. The water shadow ofthe wooden pagoda is full of fragrance, which makes people linger in the springbreeze. It is understood that Moshan cherry garden, which was founded in 1979,now has more than 30 varieties, such as Yoshino Sakurai, Guanshan Sakurai, DadaoSakurai and Chuizhi Sakurai. The whole garden adopts Japanese style courtyarddesign, which has Japanese characteristics. In the cherry garden, there is apavilion called 78 Cherry Blossom Pavilion, which has 78 cherry blossoms. Itcommemorates the signing of the Sino Japanese Friendship Treaty in 1978.

平山堂是游目骋怀的好地方。堂前古藤错节，芭蕉肥美，通堂式的敞厅之上，“平山堂”三个大字的匾额高悬，这是名闻遐迩的宋代著名政治家、文学家欧阳修贬谪扬州太守时所建。可敬的是欧公不为世俗所羁，一到扬州，就爱上了蜀岗，于是在此建堂。史载，每到暑天，公余之暇，他常携朋友来此饮酒赋诗，他们饮酒方式颇为特别，常叫从人去不远处的邵伯湖取荷花千余朵，分插百许盆，放在客人之间，然后让歌取一花传客，依次摘其瓣，谁轮到最后一片则饮酒一杯，赋诗一首，往往到夜，载月而归，这就是当时的击鼓传花。如今悬在堂上的“坐花载月”、“风流宛在”的匾额正是追怀欧公的轶事。

欧阳修最爱莲花，其后调任安徽阜阳，到任第二天，他就来到该城的西湖之滨，见湖面开阔，但杂草丛生，于是遍植瑞莲和黄杨，使西湖顿改旧观，夏日时接天莲叶，映日荷花，于是他写诗道：“菡萏香清画舸浮，使君不复忆扬州。都将二十四桥月，换得西湖十顷秋。”可见他是按照扬州瘦西湖的景致安排阜阳的山水。堂前朱漆红柱上的楹联：“过江诸山到此堂下，太守之宴与众宾欢”，是清太守伊秉绶所作，上联以山喻人，显现当年高朋慕名而至，谈古论今的盛景;下联借欧公《醉翁亭记》中句，表现欧公无法施展抱负的郁闷和乐观自适的落宕情怀。造句既佳，书法古朴，为平山堂楹联之冠。

亲爱的游客们：我是您们的导游小高

王府文化是中华民族传统文化的重要组成部分，是连接宫廷文化和平民文化的桥梁，位于北京西城区前海西街的恭王府，是中国现存王府中保存最完整的清代王府，是全国重点文物保护单位，它代表着中国的王府文化。

乾隆四十一年，即1776年，和珅开始在这东依前海，背靠后海的位置修建他的豪华宅第，时称“和第”。有说法称、明弘治年间、大太监李广也曾经置第于此。嘉庆四年正月初三，太上皇弘历归天，次日嘉庆皇帝就褫夺了和珅军机大臣和九门提督两职，抄了其全家，估计全部财富约值白银八亿两，相当于国库十几年的总收入，所以有“和珅跌倒，嘉庆吃饱”的说法，同年正月十八，即1799年2月22日，和珅被“赐令自尽”。而宅子本身，则归了“爱豪宅不爱江山”的嘉庆胞弟庆僖亲王永璘所有。与此同时，嫁给和珅儿子的乾隆之女和孝公主，仍居住在半座宅第中。咸丰元年，即1851年，清末重要政治人物恭亲王奕?成为这所宅子的第三代主人，改名恭王府，恭王府之名由此沿用至今。 “一座恭王府，半部清朝史”是历史地理学家侯仁之对恭王府的评价。民国初年，这座王府被恭亲王的孙子溥伟以40万块大洋卖给教会，后由辅仁大学用108根金条赎回，并用作女生学堂。新中国成立以后，王府曾被公安部宿舍、风机厂、音乐学院等多家单位使用过。

“月牙河绕宅如龙蟠，西山远望如虎踞”，这是史书上对恭王府的描述。就其选址而言，它占据京城绝佳的位置。古人修宅建园很注重风水，北京据说有两条龙脉，一是土龙，即故宫的龙脉;二是水龙，指后海和北海一线，而恭王府正好在后海和北海之间的连接线上，即龙脉上，因此风水非常的好。古人以水为财，在恭王府内“处处见水”，最大的湖心亭的水，是从玉泉湖引进来的，而且只内入不外流，因此更符合风水学聚财的说法。新中国十大元帅和郭沫若等人，均在恭王府的附近居住，而且都非常长寿。据说，北京长寿老人最多的地方就是恭王府附近，这个地方是一块风水宝地。

恭王府是我国保存最为完整的王府建筑群，分为府邸和花园两部分，府在前，园在后。恭王府的开放，早在30年前，就被提上议事日程。1975年，周总理在病床上，将三件未做完的事情托付给谷牧，其中之一就是恭王府的开放问题。

王府占地约3.1万平方米，分为中、东、西三路建筑，由严格的轴线贯穿着的、多进四合院落组成。王府有门脸五间，正殿七间，后殿五间，后寝殿七间，左右有配殿。府邸不仅宽大，而且建筑规模也是王府中最高的。恭王府的中、东、西三路各有三个院落，其中每一路的后两个院子是我们要游览的主要区域。

现在就请您跟随我们的讲解，游览一下这历尽苍桑、重现世人的恭王府吧。

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 isthe largest and most well reserved imperial residence in China today. Under MingEmperor Yongle, construction began in 1406. It took 14years to build theForbidden City. The first ruler who actually lived here was Ming Emperor Zhudi.For five centuries thereafter, it continued to be the residence of23 successiveemperors until 1911 when Qing Emperor Puyi was forced to abdicate the throne .In1987, the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organizationrecognized the Forbidden City was a world cultural legacy.

It is believed that the Palace Museum, or Zi Jin Cheng (Purple ForbiddenCity), got its name from astronomy folklore, The ancient astronomers divided theconstellations into groups and centered them around the Ziwei Yuan(North Star).The constellation containing the North Star was called the Constellation ofHeavenly God and star itself was called the purple palace. Because the emperorwas supposedly the son of the heavenly gods, his central and dominant positionwould be further highlighted the use of the word purple in the name of hisresidence. In folklore, the term ”an eastern purple cloud is drifting” became ametaphor for auspicious events after a purple cloud was seen drifting eastwardimmediately before the arrival of an ancient philosopher, LaoZi, to the HanghuPass. Here, purple is associated with auspicious developments. The word jin(forbidden) is self-explanatory as the imperial palace was heavily guarded andoff-explanatory as the imperial palace was heavily guarded and off-limits toordinary 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 theearth on the Loess Plateau, the original home of the Chinese people. Yellowbecame an imperial color during the Tang dynasty, when only members of the royalfamily were allowed to wear it and use it in their architecture.

The Forbidden City is rectangular in shape. It is 960 meters long fromnorth to south and 750 meter wide from east west. It has 9,900 rooms under atotal roof area 150,000 square meters .A 52-meter-wide-moat encircles a9.9-meter—high wall which encloses the complex. Octagon —shaped turrets rest onthe four corners of the wall. There are four entrances into the city: theMeridian Gate to the south, the Shenwu Gate(Gate of Military Prowess) to thenorth, and the Xihua Gate(Gate of military Prowess) to the north, and the XihuaGate(Western Flowery Gate )to the west ,the Donghua (Eastern Flowery Gate) tothe east.

Manpower and materials throughout the country were used to build theForbidden City. A total of 230,000 artisans and one million laborers wereemployed. Marble was quarried from fangshan Country Mount Pan in Jixian Countyin Hebei Province. Granite was quarried in Quyang County in Hebei Province.Paving blocks were fired in kilns in Suzhou in southern China. Bricks andscarlet pigmentation used on the palatial walls came from linqing in ShandongProvince .Timber was cut ,processed and hauled from the northwestern andsouthern regions.

The structure in front of us is the Meridian Gate. It is the main entranceto the forbidden City. It is also knows as Wufenglou(Five-Phoenix Tower). Mingemperors held lavish banquets here on the 15th day of the first month of theChinese lunar year in hornor of their counties .They also used this place forpunishing 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 ceremonyfrom ban li(announcement of calendar)to ban shou(announcement of new moon )toavoid coincidental association with another Emperor` s name, Hongli, which wasconsidered a taboo at that time. Qing Dynasty emperors also used this place tohold audience and for other important ceremonies. For example,when the imperialarmy returned victoriously from the battlefield ,it was here that the Emperorpresided over the ceremony to accept prisoners of war.

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!

Dear tourists, we have enjoyed the colorful and simple ancient city wall inthe morning or sunset of the car shop these days. Now we come to the foot of thecity wall, please walk on the wall tour.

You have to figure out what the wall really means. The word "city wall" wasoriginally derived from the word "city". According to Shuowen, "Cheng" is theinterchangeable word of "Sheng", and "Sheng" is to accept the people, so theoriginal meaning of the word "Cheng" is to encircle the people and form acountry, which leads to the meaning of city wall. The "city" of the Great Wall,known as the backbone of the Chinese nation, also means the city wall. However,with the development of society, the word "city" contains the explanation oftodays city.

The word "city" first appeared in the inscriptions of the Zhou Dynasty,which vividly reflected the military use of ancient city walls. The militaryfunction of the city wall is to protect the private ownership, and in ideology,the size of the city wall is the strict embodiment of the hierarchicalpatriarchal system. Obviously, the ruler built the city wall to protect himselfand declare the national power. The Xian City Wall we see now is one of themost famous city wall buildings in Chinese history. It took eight years from thethird year of Hongwu in Ming Dynasty (1370 A.D.) to the eleventh year of Hongwu(1378 A.D.). It was built on the basis of the imperial city of Sui and TangDynasties. After repair, it basically adhered to the appearance of completefeudal city wall architecture, reflecting the outstanding achievements ofancient Chinese city building technology.

Tourists, how big is the Xian city wall? What is its structure? Accordingto the calculation, the perimeter of Xian city wall is 11.9 kilometers,including 2590 meters for the east city wall, 2631.2 meters for the west citywall, 3441.6 meters for the south city wall and 3241 meters for the north citywall. Such a scale is rare at home and abroad.

You can see a small city with a guard gate outside the four gates of thecity wall, which is called the urn city. The so-called urn means that once theenemy enters, he will be attacked from all sides on the wall of the urn, justlike a turtle in the urn, unable to escape. Outside the urn, there is also asmall city called Yangma city. In ancient times, there was a fixed time for thegate to open and close. After closing the gate, people who had not yet returnedto the city could go to Yangma city and the park around the city with their ownsheep and horses to rest and wait for the gate to open before entering the city.The Yangma city in Xian was completely destroyed in the late Qing Dynasty. Iremember that in 1986, about 17.5 meters outside the north gate of Wengcheng,Andingmen (West Gate) of Xian City, the north gate of yangmacheng was found,5.5 meters long and 2.4 meters wide. Now you can see the restored Yangma city onthe outside of the South Gate urn. The wall is 198 meters long and 9.5 metershigh.

Outside the moat, there were four rammed earth cities named Guocheng, whicharched the four gates. According to "Xian Fu Zhi" volume nine records: TangTianyou years, Han construction Dongguo town and Xiguo town. Song, Jin and YuanDynasties are all due to this. During the Hongwu Period of Ming Dynasty, most ofDongguo small cities were wrapped up in big cities, and those left outside werecalled Dongguo new city. Xiguo town in the late Ming Dynasty. At present, onlypart of the wall of Siguan Guocheng remains, and Guomen only has its name on theplace name.

Now we come to the northeast of Xian, which used to be the palace city ofthe Ming and Qin Dynasties. In the early Ming Dynasty, Zhu Yuanjin appointed hissecond son as the king of Qin and ordered him to stay in Xian to strengthen hiscontrol over the northwest. The whole city is divided into two walls. The outercity wall is called Xiao wall, which is made of soil. The inner city wall iscalled brick wall because it is built with green bricks outside. After the MingDynasty, Xiaoqiang was destroyed. During the reign of Emperor Yongzheng of QingDynasty, temples were built in Xian, and most of the buildings in the palace ofKing Qin were demolished, and the brick city was changed into the Eight Bannerschurch. At present, there are only a few remnant parts of ramming Earth City inthe brick city of Qin Wangfu. m.lVyougl

When Xian city was built in Ming Dynasty, there were four gates:"Changle", "Yongning", "anding" and "Anyuan". The name of the gate is engravedon the blue stone gate outside the gate. The building built on the gate of thebig city is called the city tower, also called the main tower, which is thecommand post of the commander guarding the city. The building built on the gatehole of Wengcheng is called Jianlou, because there are arrow windows on the wallof the building, which was used for shooting arrows at that time. In theRepublic of China, four more gates were opened, commonly known as Xiaosigate

Zhongshan Gate (small East Gate), at the east end of Dongxin Street at themoment, was built to commemorate Sun Yat Sen; Wumu gate (small South Gate), atthe south end of Sifu street today; Yuxiang gate (small West Gate), at the westend of Lianhu Road, was demolished after liberation; Jiefang gate (small NorthGate), formerly known as Zhongzheng gate, was built at the north end of JiefangRoad when Longhai Road was opened to Xian. In 1952, it was demolished becauseof the expansion of the railway station. After liberation, Xian also opened upnew city gates, including Jianguo gate, Heping gate, Wenchang gate, Zhuque gateand Hanguang gate. The north wall has Shangde gate. The east wall has ChaoyangGate.

Most tourists understand that there were 98 enemy towers on the walls ofXian in the Ming Dynasty. However, in 1982, the Xian city wall managementoffice found that none of the ancient enemy towers were left, and only some ofthem still had foundation stones. After that, Xian rebuilt 12 enemy towers,which were brick and wood structures, with two stories of double eaves and twocorridors on the ground floor.

The ancient city wall facilities not only built the enemy tower and arrowtower to prepare for martial arts, but also built the Kuixing tower to sacrificeKuixing, the God who dominated the cultural movement. Kuixing tower in Xian wasbuilt in the east of the South Gate Tower, which was destroyed by the fire.Later, Kuixing building was rebuilt on the original site, which is worthseeing.

Kunming lake is located in the Summer Palace in Beijing, its area is about three-quarters of the total area. Former northwest Beijing many springs converge into natural lakes, has seven names such as yet, large parking in the lake.

Kunming lake, a former northwest Beijing many springs converge into natural lakes, has seven names such as yet, large parking in the lake. Due to the longevity hill after the predecessor has the name of urn hill, also known as urn hill parking. Kunming lake is a natural, artificial lake. Here is the original xishan hill arch fans, former reason springs to assemble a lowland swamp.

In 1153 AD, after gold yanjing (as) in its capital, gold master yan hong light out the chicken water land, built in the jinshan palace. More from the west to the aim of yuquan hill spring note at the foot of the jinshan, make it become a plain, storage called the golden stream. This is the precursor of the kunming lake today. To the yuan dynasty, to increase the golden stream of water will be needed to supply the Kyoto grain transportation, water conservancy, guo shoujin guided ChangPing County white water from springs and yuquan hill into the mooring floating village. Jinshan was renamed urn hill, lake was renamed urn hill berth, the surface than had previously been expanded. In the Ming dynasty, white village water channel (white floating weir) disrepair, the water dried up, urn hill parking area is narrow. Emperor qianlong in the qing dynasty carved deep to expand mooring and urn hill, become larger than when Ming dynasty triple giant leaching, the beginning of the kunming lake.

This name, is the emperor that is applied in the qianlong emperor in changan capital kunming pool practicing wenhuan allusions. The name used today. After the yuan dynasty Beijing its capital for grain transportation, presided over by the water conservancy experts guo shoujin, upstream water development, changping along the mountain spring water and running water into the lake, became mostly in the city of grain transportation by using the reservoir. Many planting lotus in the lake in the Ming dynasty, around the paddy planting rice, lake have temples, pavilions, wins again, like the jiangnan scenery, hence there are "west lake", "west lake scenery" of reputation.

MingWu of land god, Ming has been on a boat to go fishing for fun here. Qing qianlong built qingyi garden, the lake will develop, become the size of the now, and take the emperor in changan kunming digging pool exercises war story, named kunming lake, on the lake every summer training exercise. Kunming lake on the main subject is west dike and six bridge, east dike, the west embankment in the south lake island, the marble seventeen-arch bridge which and so on. Flow around the longevity hill river at the foot of the mountain, known as the lake.

Lying at the center of Beijing， the Forbidden City， called Gu Gong， in Chinese， was the imperial palace during the Ming and Qing dynasties. Now known as the Palace Museum， it is to the north of Tiananmen Square. Rectangular in shape， it is the world‘s largest palace complex and covers 74 hectares. Surrounded by a six meter deep moat and a ten meter high wall are 9，999 buildings. The wall has a gate on each side. Opposite the Tiananmen Gate， to the north is the Gate of Devine Might (Shenwumen)， which faces Jingshan Park. The distance between these two gates is 960 meters， while the distance between the gates in the east and west walls is 750 meters. There are unique and delicately structured towers on each of the four corners of the curtain wall. These afford views over both the palace and the city outside. The Forbidden City is divided into two parts. The southern section， or the Outer Court was where the emperor exercised his supreme power over the nation. The northern section， or the Inner Court was where he lived with his royal family. Until 1924 when the last emperor of China was driven from the Inner Court， fourteen emperors of the Ming dynasty and ten emperors of the Qing dynasty had reigned here. Having been the imperial palace for some five centuries， it houses numerous rare treasures and curiosities. Listed by UNESCO as a World Cultural Heritage Site in 1987， the Palace Museum is now one of the most popular tourist attractions world wide.

Construction of the palace complex began in 1407， the 5th year of the Yongle reign of the third emperor of the Ming dynasty. It was completed fourteen years later in 1420. It was said that a million workers including one hundred thousand artisans were driven into the long-term hard labor. Stone needed was quarried from Fangshan， a suburb of Beijing. It was said a well was dug every fifty meters along the road in order to pour water onto the road in winter to slide huge stones on ice into the city. Huge amounts of timber and other materials were freighted from faraway provinces. Ancient Chinese people displayed their very considerable skills in building the Forbidden City. Take the grand red city wall for example. It has an 8.6 meters wide base reducing to 6.66 meters wide at the top. The angular shape of the wall totally frustrates attempts to climb it. The bricks were made from white lime and glutinous rice while the cement is made from glutinous rice and egg whites. These incredible materials make the wall extraordinarily strong.

Since yellow is the symbol of the royal family， it is the dominant color in the Forbidden City. Roofs are built with yellow glazed tiles; decorations in the palace are painted yellow; even the bricks on the ground are made yellow by a special process. However， there is one exception. Wenyuange， the royal library， has a black roof. The reason is that it was believed black represented water then and could extinguish fire.

Nowadays， the Forbidden City， or the Palace Museum is open to tourists from home and abroad. Splendid painted decoration on these royal architectural wonders， the grand and deluxe halls， with their surprisingly magnificent treasures will certainly satisfy "modern civilians".

Distinguished visitors, guys! My name is hu, you can call me xiao hu. We the tour destination is called buildings in architectural history a wonders of the world -- the Great Wall.

The Great Wall, the mountains, the cliffs, wear a prairie, across the desert, ups and downs in the top of the mountains, across the other shore of the Yellow River and the coast of the bohai sea. There are words you must know that "not a true man unless he comes to the Great Wall!" Today, lets also do one hero.

Into the door before, I want to ask a question: "how long is the Great Wall?" Tell you, the Great Wall has more than thirteen thousand in the whole! From here, the Great Wall is more like a huge dragon, winding on the badaling! Now, we have stood in the doorway, the south east of here is a big battery? The artillery diameter is 105 mm long, 2.85 meters long, is called, "the general." Then why is called "the general"? Tourists friends, you guess! Yes, it is because the gun body casting have a named "troublesome compared to general".

Dear visitors, we go forward, you should see the beacon tower! Yantai beacon tower, also known as beacons, Wolf, once the enemy pounce, kindle wars on the situation of the enemy: hundreds a smoke a gun, more than five hundred people burning two smoke gun... And so on. The ancients will lit the fire call sunshine during the day and night called flint. The scenery on both sides of the Great Wall is very beautiful, dear visitors look, pine and cypress, hidden-away east, birds, gurgling streams, everywhere is full of poetic.

Sun yat-sen once said the Great Wall, "the engineering of the most famous, the Great Wall also.... engineering, ancient without his horse, for only one of the wonders of the world." Visitors, I hope you will be touring, be careful not to litter debris-brick rubbish, such as the last wish you have a good trip, bye!

Hello everyone! This is located in the middle of Lijiang ancient city,called "Sifang Street". Sifang street used to be another alias, and there is alittle story about its name. Before, there was a small pavilion in the middle ofSifang street, and there was a small pool beside the pavilion. In summer, thelotus blossoms in the small pool; in autumn, the small pool is covered with redleaves, which is a good place for poets to sing wine. Because the pavilion issquare, "Fang" is homonymous with "Fang", so it is renamed "Sifang Street".

Lets see, there was no city wall in Lijiang, because the rulers surnameat that time was "Mu". If the ancient city built walls, then "Mu" would becomethe word "trapped", which was very unlucky, so the city wall was not built.

OK! Lets go to the next scenic spot. Lets see, there are several wellsconnected together. Isnt it a bit odd. The first well is the cleanest fordrinking; the second well is the water from the first well for washingvegetables; and then it flows into the third well for washing hands. Its beenused like this for thousands of years.

Lets not scribble around. Im finished. Lets play separately for an hourand gather here after playing.

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.

Ladies and gentlemen

Now we come to Famen Temple, which is known as "the ancestor of GuanzhongPagoda Temple"

This is the gate square of Famen temple cultural scenic spot. It is locatedin Famen Town, 10 kilometers north of Fufeng County, 120 kilometers east ofXian city and 96 kilometers west of Baoji City.

In recent years, the Shaanxi government has devoted itself to buildingFamen Temple into a veritable Buddha capital of the world, making it the "secondcultural symbol of Shaanxi" after the terracotta warriors and horses. The Famentemple cultural scenic spot is composed of Shanmen square, Foguang Avenue, FamenTemple, Heshi relic tower, numerous artistic Buddha statues and gardensculptures. It comprehensively displays the achievements of Buddhist culture inphilosophy, politics and art, and highlights the splendid history and culture ofthe Chinese nation. Now in front of us is the Mountain Gate of Famen Temple,which is also known as the "three gates". You can see this

The three doors are big in the middle and small on both sides. The emptydoor is in the middle, and the Wuzuo door and Wuxiang door are on both sides. Wegenerally refer to becoming a monk as stepping into the empty door, probablyfrom this.

Famen Temple is famous for its placement of Sakyamunis Buddha finger relicsince ancient times

The gate temple is also built because of the relic and becomes a templebecause of the pagoda. In 485 BC, Sakyamuni Miedu, King Ashoka of the PeacockDynasty of Indias mogatuo state unified India. In order to promote Buddhism, heordered people to divide the Buddha bones into 84000 parts, which were stored invarious parts of the world, and built 84000 sitting towers. In China, there are19 Buddha finger relic towers, the fifth of which is Famen Temple envoy. It hasa history of more than 1700 years. In the Northern Wei Dynasty, it was calledasokang temple. In the Sui Dynasty, it was renamed Chengbao temple. In the TangDynasty, Li Yuan was renamed Famen Temple. During the 200 years of the TangDynasty, eight emperors successively opened the Underground Palace seven times,welcomed and sent off the Buddhas finger relic six times. Each time theywelcomed and sent off the Buddhas finger relic, they made a great impact on thegovernment and the public, and the emperor worshiped them. There was no otheremperor of high rank. During the reign of emperor Zong of Tang Dynasty, thepagoda of Famen Temple was regarded as the "real body pagoda" to protect thecountry. This shows how prosperous Famen Temple was in the Tang Dynasty. Butafter the Ming and Qing Dynasties, Famen Temple gradually declined.

During the Longqing period of the Ming Dynasty, after hundreds of years ofhistory, the four level wooden tower of the Tang Dynasty collapsed. Later, localgentlemen donated money to repair the tower. After 30 years, a 13 level bricktower with eight edges was built. However, in the Qing Dynasty, it was tiltedand cracked because of the earthquake. In 1939, under the leadership of Mr. Zhuziqiao, a patriot, the largest repair was completed in the late Ming Dynasty.But in 1981, the tower collapsed in half. In 1985, the local government preparedto rebuild it. In 1987, the underground palace was discovered by accident whileclearing the foundation of the tower. After the silence of 1113 years, 2999pieces of national treasures of the Tang Dynasty, surrounded by Buddhas realfinger bones, returned to the world. The rare treasures unearthed in theunderground palace are of great value in the study of Chinese social andpolitical history, cultural history, science and technology history, Chinese andforeign exchange history, art history and other aspects. Now lets go to theunderground palace to see the Buddha finger relic. The underground palace ofFamen Temple is the oldest, largest and highest level pagoda underground palacein the world. The Buddha finger relic unearthed from the underground palace isthe real body relic of Sakyamuni Buddha, which has been found in the world andconfirmed by documents and inscriptions. It is the highest sacred object in theBuddhist world. There are four Buddha finger relic, of which the third one isspirit bone, and the other three are shadow bone. Spirit bone is Sakyamunisreal Buddha finger, and the other three are imitated by Tang emperor in order toprotect spirit bone. Among more than 27000 coins unearthed from the undergroundpalace, 13 tortoiseshell Kaiyuan Tongbao coins are the earliest and uniquetortoiseshell coins found in the world. The 13 pieces of palace secret colorporcelain unearthed from the underground palace are the earliest in the worldand confirmed by inscriptions. Secret color porcelain is a kind of celadon,which is specially made for the royal family. Due to its complex process andsecret formula, it is called secret color porcelain. The double wheel 12 ringsunearthed from the underground palace

The big stick is the earliest, the largest, the highest grade and the mostexquisite Buddhist weapon found in the world. Then, some of the rare treasures Ijust mentioned have been looked at by you just now, and others are treasured inthe Famen Temple Museum nearby. Lets go and have a look.

Coming out of the underground palace, in front of it is the Hexi relictower of Famen Temple. It took three years to build. The tower is 148 metershigh. You can see that the shape of the tower is like the hands of Hexi. Doesthe hollow out part in the middle look like a traditional tower of the TangDynasty? The broad road we just walked is the Foguang Avenue. With a totallength of 1230 meters, a width of 108 meters and an area of about 140000 squaremeters, Foguang Avenue is not only a way to become a Buddha, but also the mainlandscape axis of the scenic spot. The two ends of Foguang Avenue are connectedwith Shanmen square and pilgrimage square, which can accommodate 100000 people.We compare the mountain gate to this shore, which is the present world. Theavenue of Buddhas light leads all living beings to the other shore, which meansthe ten stupas.

Now we come to the Famen Temple Museum, which consists of four exhibitionrooms: the historical exhibition of Famen Temple, the Buddhist cultureexhibition of Famen Temple, the mandala culture exhibition of Famen Temple andthe treasure exhibition of Famen Temple.

The historical display tube of Famen Temple mainly shows people thehistorical cause of the construction of Famen Temple and the historical objectsof the construction of Famen Temple in various historical dynasties

There are 44 national treasure level cultural relics and 99 first-classcultural relics in the Famen Temple Museum of Tang Dynasty treasures. It is thelargest proportion of Chinas treasure level cultural relics among the 88museums in Shaanxi Province. You can see the secret color porcelain I justmentioned here, and you can also see the treasures of Tang Dynasty silkproducts: gold cluster embroidery, which refers to the pattern of flowers formedby gold silk plate fixed to silk The top of the silk. Silk is not easy topreserve, many of them are weathered. The first thing that makes gold clusterembroidery valuable is that it is as well preserved as new. The second thing isits production technology. Now there are 20 gold threads in Japan and 70 inChina, but in the ancient Tang Dynasty, this drawing technology has reached6.

Next, lets visit the treasure Pavilion. One of them is the king of thefour drums and twelve rings. The so-called staff, in fact, is not made of tin,but when you shake it, it will make a sound. This staff is made of 2 taels ofgold and 58 taels of silver, which represents the highest mana in Buddhism.

Well, out of the treasure Pavilion, our trip to Famen Temple is coming toan end. I hope my explanation will leave you a good memory.

Distinguished visitors:

Now we take the cable car to the foot of badaling, began to climb the Great Wall. With steep mountain, the Great Wall winding, its like a living jinlong lie on it. From a distance, it is between the mountains winding, let me tell you, the Great Wall has more than thirteen thousand long, so they are known as the Great Wall. Look at far away from the beacon tower, white mist is like the beacon tower to put on a fine gauze, just like a picture full of poetry and song meaning, make we revel in it.

Standing on the Great Wall, holding the stone on the wall, stepping foot square brick, we felt the working people of hard and tired to build Great Wall, look at these countless stone, a two or three one thousand jins weight, then without any tools, rely on countless hands and countless up the shoulder, it is conceivable that how hard they are! You will find that, in a square hole in the wall, is actually used to shot the enemy. Rows of buttress, every three hundred meters, there is a square ChengTai, is the bulwark of station troops and war can mutual echo. Do you think we walk in the road is very wide, WuLiuPi horse can also parallel!

We climb ah climb, finally climbed up the highest peak bawcock slope. We all are stretched his arms and breathe the fresh air, tourists often can not help but praise: "how beautiful motherland pieces!"

The Great Wall is China the crystallization of the wisdom of working people, or the soul of Chinese sons and daughters. Lets go to protect it, enjoy it. I wish you all have a good time!

Comes in front of Hangzhou, you certainly had heard "on has theheaven, gets down has Suzhou and Hangzhou" this famous saying!Actually, analogies Hangzhou between the adult the heaven, in the verygreat degree is because had Xihu. Since 1100, the Xihu scenery has thecharm which prolonged does not fade, her abundant posture beautifulfigure, makes one fall in love. Tang Dynasty big poet Bai Juyi leaveswhen Hangzhou also never forgets Xihu, "has not been able to throwHangzhou to go, one partly stops over is this lake." The poet said himtherefore does not give up leaves Hangzhou, its main reason is becauseHangzhou has a beautiful enchanting Xihu. "The world Xihu 36, centershould better be Hangzhou"!

Friends: Under on rides the ship along with me from the mountainshrine wharf to tour together Xihu. Before ship start, I firstintroduce Xihu the survey: Xihu is located the Hangzhou west end,three goes around a mountain, the east side borders on the urbandistrict, the north and south long approximately 3.2 kilometers, thething width approximately 2.8 kilometers, circles lake week nearly 15kilometers. The area approximately 5.68 square kilometers, includingthe lake in the islands are 6.3 square kilometers, the hydraulic meandepth 1.55 meters, most deep place about 2.8 meters, most shallow partinsufficient 1 meter, water-holding capacity in 8.5 million to 8.7million cubic meters between. Outside Su Di and the Bai Dike divideinto Lake Surface the lake, North In the lake, the syli lake mountain lake andthe small Lake Nanhu 5 parts. Xihu everywhere has the beautifulscenery, in the history except has "the money pond ten scenery", "theXihu 18 scenery" beside, what is most famous is the Southern SongDynasty chooses a name "the Xihu ten scenery", mother: Su Di springday dawn, the tune courtyard wind-load, the Pinghu harvest moon,breaks the bridge remnant snow, the flowered port view fish, south thescreen Wan Zhong, the split-blip inserts the cloud, the thunder peakevening glow, Three deep pools India month, the scull wave hears 茑. If connotationwhich selects by each character, they are: The spring, summer, fall,and winter is colored, late cloud evening month willow tree. The spotleft regardless of spring, summer, fall, and winter, regardless of thebright 晦 dusk, the Xihu beautiful scenery all has at times,everywhere all in characteristic. In 1985 commented "the new Xihu tenscenery". In take Xihu as in the central 60 square kilometersbotanical gardens scenic spot, was proclaiming the main scenery scenicspot has 40 place, the key cultural relic historical site has 30place. Summarizes the Xihu scenery mainly take a lake, two peaks,three springs, four temples, five mountains, six gardens, seven holes,eight graves, nine brooks, ten Jing assheng. On November 8, 1982,State Council Xihu will list as one of first batch of national keyscenery scenic spots. In 1985, in "the Chinese ten big sceneriesscenic spots" in the evaluation, Xihu is evaluated third.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

西湖

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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