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， 20__ 年底，显陵申报世界文化遗产获得成功，被录入联合国《世界遗产名录》，成为世界人民共同的财富。世界遗产目前全世界共有 500 多处，中国仅 30 处，属文化遗产的仅21 处，湖北仅 2 处，即武当山和显陵，全国 32 个省市大部分一处都没有。

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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!

Hello! Hello, Im the guide of lollipop travel agency. My surname is Lou,and my name is Zifan. Please call me Xiaolou! Today we are going to travel theGreat Wall. I hope you will have a good time with me.

Lets first come to "the worlds first Xiongguan". This is a stone tabletwith the words "the worlds first Xiongguan". There are two "the worlds firstXiongguan" in China. One is Jiayu pass, the key point of the Great Wall, and theother is Juyong Pass. Originally, Juyong Pass was not "the worlds firstXiongguan". Because this section of the Great Wall is a very important pass, itwas later called "the worlds first Xiongguan" If you are interested, you cantake a picture, but please hurry up. You are going to climb the Great Walllater.

Lets keep up and climb the Great Wall. The Great Wall is very steep. Payattention to safety. You see, this kind of uneven wall is called a crenel. Ithas a lookout and a shooting port for lookout and shooting. See those citystations? Its a garrison fortress. Whenever there is a war, the injuredsoldiers can do temporary treatment in it.

Next, we come to the city platform, you can go in and visit the ancientcity platform, pay attention not to scribble, this is the ancient historicalrelics!

Come on, its the top! Its cool and comfortable here. Why is the greatwall broken? Its disconnected because of the obstruction of mountains andrivers. Lets have a rest and meet in half an hour.

This is the end of todays journey. I hope you have a better understandingof the Great Wall after listening to my explanation. Goodbye!

In the tranquil little village of Wuzhen, the light hangs over the Dong ShiRiver in a soft summer pallour, as though the clouds are making a deliberateeffort to protect the residents from sunburn. Along the river, a select group ofday-trippers enjoy a cruise aboard a pole-steered barge. Im highly privilegedto be visiting the very last of Chinas ancient "water towns" to be opened tovisitors.

When the authorities opened the 1,300 year old riverine settlement ofWuzhen to visitors in early 20__, they were determined to avoid the tacky mix oftourist restaurants and kitsch souvenir shops that has swamped other estuarytowns such as Zhouzhuang (which also lies in the Yangtze River delta). Wuzhensold buildings, an architectural symphony of stone, wood and tiles, have beenpreserved rather than restored, and lovingly maintained rather than tarted up.The result is a place that is a sheer joy to explore on foot.

Wuzhen is still a living town, where daily life goes on life goes on as ithas for the last thousand or so years. Coppersmiths, wood-carver andsilk-spinners work at their age-old crafts. Bicycle rickshaw drivers exchangestories as they wait for passengers. People cart water, cook meals, and tendtheir gardens, each flower-plot the size of a postage stamp.

The townsfolk of Wuzhen gather in the town square around mid-day - talking,smoking or playing mah-jongg. They seem laidback and contented. Most of all,they seem to enjoy observing the passing parade, which provides a constantsource of amusement. I started to wonder whether it was the town or the strangeforeign visitors like myself that was the main attraction. Western visitors arestill a rarity here.

Wuzhen lies in the far north-east of Zhejiang province, about 90 minutes byroad from Shanghai. The name "water town" is especially apt; besides lying onthe Grand Canal, the settlement is completely encircled by two rivers - the DongShi and a smaller tributary, which meet at a T-junction. No matter where youstand, water provides the backdrop, the raison dêtre of the whole town.

About 250 families used to live in the old quarter of Wuzhen. However,following the "restoration" of the town, many townsfolk have been moved out tothe "new" Wuzhen, an attractively landscaped but otherwise characterlessapartment block 15 km down the road towards Shanghai. Those who remain aremainly the elderly and craftspeople. While I was assured that there is nothingto stop new residents moving into the old town, young people nowadays seemstrangely absent.

The old wooden shops of Wuzhen look ageless and immovable, as though theirtimbers have totally defied the ravages of time. At first, one suspects that thecustodians of the town have tried to cover up the decomposing processes ofnature. But look more closely and you find slow rot setting in around the basesof the doorframes, and splinters breaking away from the lintels. What littlerestoration has been done is so inconspicuous as to be totally indistinguishablefrom the original.

All the buildings in Wuzhen are in Ming or Qing Dynasty style. One palatialestablishment is the "Double Happiness" Marriage Shrine. Twin hearts are joinedin a nouveau-Chinese character in gilt upon a flaming crimson background,presumably depicting the inseparability of marriage - perhaps the Chinese knowsomething that we Westerners dont.

Wuzhen also has some unique attractions, including Yu Liuliangs Coin andPaper Money Exhibition. Nearby (would you believe) stands a Pawnshop Museum, asif to prove that usury is universal. (Maybe fortunately, Wuzhen has the onlysuch establishment Ive ever come across). I tried looking for a Qing DynastyDVD player in the pawnshop, but was sadly disappointed.

No fewer than eight stone bridges cross the Dong Shi River, the grandest ofthem being the Fengyuan Double Bridge. The bridge is separated into two parts bya wooden sluice gate. Cyclists carry their bikes across the high arches of thebridges, which are designed to let boats pass underneath without difficulty.

Back in the main square, the elders are still hanging out. On the villagestage, a performance of Peking Opera is underway. Across the square, a masterpuppeteer entertains visitors with a shadow-play of the type known in Java aswayang kulit. But while the Javanese version of shadow puppetry is subtle andrefined, the Wuzhen style has the protagonists attacking each other with theferocity of tigers.

Whether by accident or design, this town seems to have been dropped intoits watery setting by a master town planner from another galaxy. A more perfectlocation for a settlement would be difficult to find. It is fervently to behoped that tourism will augment rather than destroy the unique ambiance ofWuzhen.

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.

"The rising sun in the East, the cold wind, the soft spring breeze, the newtown.". Shiyan, a city that has experienced the baptism of cold wind andrainstorm, a green pine standing on the peak of the world, is a shining star inmy heart forever, whether it is Xianshan or Xiushui!

Shiyan, my hometown, is the most beautiful place I have ever seen. Althoughthe landscape here is not listed by the famous mountains and the beautiful waterin Guilin, it has its own unique charm. Wudang Mountain, the first mountain inShiyan, is not only the holy land of Taoism, but also an exquisite landscapepainting. Wudang Mountain stands in Shiyan, and the peak is above the clouds.Wudang gate is surrounded by clouds. From a distance, it looks like a temple ina fairyland. In the drizzle hazy weather, Wudangs looming, but also adds atrace of mystery.

When I enter Wudang Mountain, I feel fresh and fresh. Whenever I smell thisfragrance, I feel a sense of peace that I cant say. But in the mountains andforests, there are all kinds of animals talking and streams singing. I dontknow what it is, but I know its a special language between them. If you godeeper into the mountains, you will have another feeling. Looking at the greenpines and trees in front of us, listening to the dingdong of mountain springs,we can feel the vitality of nature. There will always be a sigh. If the feelingahead is spring, then the feeling this time is summer, which is stronger anddeeper.

After leaving Wudang Mountain, there is another famous scenery - HanjiangRiver. No matter the surface of the Hanjiang River is flat or quiet, it is notas extreme as the water in Guilin, but it is clear and mysterious. Standing onthe edge of the Han River, looking at another self in the river, there willalways be some experience. If you take a closer look at yourself, maybe you canread the secret hidden in your heart from your own eyes.

Along the Hanjiang River, I come to a wave of Bitan. I look at the calmBitan, but I always feel that there is something swimming under the still water.From time to time, a few bubbles come out of the water, or a few circles ofmicrowaves are dispersing. At this time, gently hit the water with stones, therewill be dozens or hundreds of flying fish jumping on the water, the scene isvery magnificent. But just a few minutes later, the water returned to itsoriginal state, as if nothing had happened.

This is Shiyan, my hometown. Shiyan is nurturing every child who loves himwith its mountains and rivers, and we should also repay the land of ourhometown.

ok, now we are heading for mt.jiuhua, which is known as one of the four buddhist mountains in china. it’s about 30 minutes’ bus ride. on the way you can enjoy the beautiful scenery and i’d like to give you a brief introduction about mt.jiuhua.

mt.jiuhua was originally known as jiuzi (nine-peak) mount. li bai, a famous chinese poet over 1300 years ago wrote of the mountain: ”sailing on the yangtze river, watching mt.jiuhua from after, green water falls from the sky, nine lotuses appear in the air.” this expresses the poet’s great admiration for mt.jiuhua. from then on, the mountain was renamed as mt.jiuhua.

mt.jiuhua covers more than 100 square kilometers in area, which has been known to have 99 peaks, and the main peak of the shiwang peak is 1342m above sea level. mt.jiuhua is full of waterfalls, streams, exotic-looking boulders, ancient caves, old pines and exuberant bamboo. with the richly variegated landscape, the ancient temples are tucked away amid the dense woods and the air reverberates with the tolling of the bells at dawn and dusk. mt.jiuhua is usually known as the no.1 mountain of the southeast.

ok, i have said too much about the mt.jiuhua, and i expect you have got a general idea about it. seeing is beliving. i’m sure you will learn a lot about chinese culture and buddhism after the visit, and you will also be impressed deeply by the wonderful scenery. let’s get off the bus and bring your camera. i’ll show you around the scenic areas.

look! so many monks, why? yes, that’s it! because mt.jiuhua is a buddhist mountain. especially on july 30th of chinese lunar is the birthday of earch buddha, and a great buddhist ceremony is held on this day. around that day every year, the mountain is the site of a temple fair. a large number of monks, nuns, pilgrims and visitors come to burn incense, chant and sacrifice food. the activities of each year are different. though today is not the festival, we can also enjoy the beautiful scenery. they are: sunrise at tiantai platform, evening bell of huacheng temple, sitting on east stone with pleasure, fairy mark of tianzhu, taoyan waterfall, clouds around lotus peak and phoenix pine.

ok, here we are, this is huacheng temple of jiuhua street. it was the first and oldest of all the temples of mt.jiuhua. over 1500 years ago, monk beidu built a simple temple here. then after 300 years it was reconstructed and named huacheng temple.

you see it lies a round plaza. look at the center! what do you see? yeah! it is a crescent shaped lotus pond named “crescent moon pond” you can go towards it, what do you see? it is believed that monk jin qiaojue used to free captive fish. ok, now i say some brief introduction about it and then you can go around it. we’ll gather here after one hour, ok? the temple consists of four parts: the lobby, the grand hall, the back hall and the scripture tower. the ground slopes up with each part and the whole layout is natural. the doors, windows, brackets, beams, columns, steps and the cornerstone are carved with exquisite designs. in the hall are preserved horizontal boards inscribed by emperor in ancient time.

ok! is everyone here? 1, 2, 3… ok, now, let’s go to see the phoenix pine, in minyuan scenic area. phoenix pine is over 1400 years old, and is one of the four decorative trees in anhui province.

after seeing phoenix pine, we’ll finish our travel, and on behalf of my company, my chinese colleagues and myself, i’d like to take this opportunity to express my thanks for your consideration, understanding, tolerance and cooperation.

When it comes to Wuzhen, friends who like Liu Ruoying must be familiar withher. From the time when she was photographing to becoming the image ambassadorof Wuzhen recently, it can be said that Liu Ruoying and Wuzhen have formed anindissoluble bond. Today, we will go to this millennium old town and follow LiuRuoyings idea to enjoy the beautiful scenery of the ancient town. It is oftensaid that one side of the soil and water nourishes another side of the people.Wuzhen is indeed a place of outstanding people. It is a land of elegantgeomantic omen. Many outstanding talents have been born since ancient times.According to the records of this town, from the Song Dynasty to the late QingDynasty, there were 64 Jinshi and 161 Juren in the town, and Mao Dun, a greatliterary master, appeared in modern times. It can be said that people thrivebecause 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.

It said something about the history of Wuzhen. Our friends go to Wuzhen toplay. What should we play when we go to Wuzhen? Its nothing more than eating,wearing and traveling. When it comes to eating, maybe most of our friends startto get excited. After all, food is the most important thing for the people.Dont worry, listen to Xiao Wangs introduction. When it comes to Wuzhensfamous food, I have to mention this aunt cake. Hearing this name, I think youhave guessed it. It must have something to do with the relationship between auntand sister-in-law. Its true. According to legend, in the Ming Dynasty, therewas a family surnamed Zhang in the town, who made a living by making pancakesfor his sister-in-law for generations. Because it is an exclusive formula,natural flavor is unique, so enduring business is booming. But there is anunwritten rule in Zhangs family. In order to ensure that the secret recipe willbe passed on from generation to generation, it is stipulated that the secretrecipe will only be passed on to the daughter-in-law, not to the daughter. Afterall, my daughter will be married in the future, and she will become a member ofother peoples family. When it came to the Ming Dynasty, my sister-in-law wasvery unhappy when she saw that her mother only taught her sister-in-law how tomake cakes. After all, my sister-in-law has only been married to my family formore than 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 my sister-in-law said to her sister-in-law, "sister-in-law, its rainingoutside. Go and collect your clothes quickly.". My sister-in-law ran out as soonas she heard that. When my sister-in-law saw that her sister-in-law was out, shewas angry, but secretly grabbed a bar of salt and threw it into the pan.Coincidentally, todays guests who ate Aunt Zhangs Pancakes all said thattodays Pancakes taste unusual and better than before. My sister-in-law isstrange. Im still doing the same thing as before. How can it be different

Well. So she ate a piece of it herself, and she felt that the taste wasreally abnormal.

At this time, my sister-in-law began to talk. "Sister in law, if you wantto understand why the cake tastes so good today, and if you want to make it sogood every day in the future, tell me the secret recipe for making the cakefirst." sister in law, however, told her the recipe for making the cake. Ofcourse, my sister-in-law is also very honest to tell her how to do somethingbad, but it backfires and its a blessing in disguise. Because the practice atthe moment is shared by my sister-in-law, so I named this cake "sister-in-lawcake". After the visit, you may as well buy some for free activities. Aftersaying "sister-in-law cake", of course, we have to talk about the specialproduct of Wuzhen, "three Baijiu". Three Baijiu is handmade naturally. Becausewhite rice, white noodles and white water are used as raw materials, it iscalled "three Baijiu". Others are Hangzhou white chrysanthemum, white water fishand 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 suggest you dont buyclothes, 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 be targeted when you visit. As I said just now, Wuzhen is thehometown of Mao Dun, a great literary scientist, so naturally, Mao Duns formerresidence must be visited. To visit the water town is nothing more than to seethe architecture and taste the folk customs. And the "street pillow water, pinkwall Daiwa" is the common features of water architecture, since we have to seeits most distinctive things in Wuzhen. The architectural features of Wuzhen areconcentrated in the Xiuzhen temple and the ancient stage at the head of thetown. So you must not miss the first scenic spot of Xiuzhen temple. There is ascenic spot announcer in the temple to explain to you. I will send the ticketsto you at the gate when I go in. After visiting the first scenic spot, those whoare willing to visit with me will follow me, and those who are not willing toplan to move freely with me will be able to move freely. Lets go back to theintroduction of you. As the saying goes, "ten li is not the same sound, hundredLi is not the same vulgar.". It is estimated that Nanjing is 500 li away fromWuzhen, so the folk customs are even more different. Wuzhen just provides uswith a platform to watch folk customs. There are many pavilions in the town,such as Jiangnan wood carving exhibition hall, Hongtai dyeing workshop bluecalico exhibition hall, Jiangnan hundred beds hall, folk custom hall and so on.Later, Xiao Wang will show you around one by one.

Ladies! Gentlemen! Good afternoon, ladies and gentlemen. I am a tour guide zhi-xian li, nine years old this year. Everybody call me xiao li.

Good morning，everyone!Its my honor to be your guide today.Now we are going to visit the Great Wall.

The Great Wall,symbolizing Chinas ancient civilization,is one of the most famous,grand and splendid ancient construction wonders in the world.It is just like a giant dragon starting from Yalu River and crossing high mountains,deserts and grassland to the Pamirs Plateau,the roof of the world from east to west in the northern part of China.

For many centruries,the Great Wall,as a military gigantic defensive project kept out the invading troops of the northern nomadic tribes.Now,the Graet Wall has become a famous historical senic spot for tourists,and it liays a role in bridging the friendship between the Chinese people and peoples in different parts of the world.

The Great Wall first began in the seventh century BC.At that time,it was called Spring and Autumn Period.The first section of wall,that appeared in China,was built by Kingdom Qi and Kingdom Chu.They had a high wall which was called "square wall" or "square city",built surrounding thier own territories to deffend the attacks of their neighbouring enemy.So it was also known as the Qi Wall or the Chu Wall.During the Warring State Period,seven states named Qi,Chu,Yan,Zhao,Han ,Wei and Qin bacame the most powerful states.In order to defend themselves against the refringing enemy from the neighbouring states,all the kigdoms had high walla built around their own territories.

In Chinese history,large-scale construction of the Great Wall was concentrated in three dynasties:Qin,Han and Ming dynasties.The section of the wall began to be called the Graet Wallin the time of Qinshihuang.He linked up the separate sections of high walls in order to ward off harrassment by the Huns,and for the use of further defensive projects.The Qin Great Wall started from Lintao,Gansu Province in the west and ended in Lioadong,Liaoning Province in the east,totally 5,000 kilometers.The Han Great Wall started from the Liaodong Peninsula in the east,and ended at the foot of the Tianshan Mountain in Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Rigion,with a total length of 10,000 kilometers.In the Ming Dynasty,Emperor Zhuyuanzhang reconstructed the Great Wall because of the threats of the remaining forces and the ethnic tribe of “Nv Zhen".The Graet Wall could help prevent the remnent forces of the Yuan Court from harrassing and securing the northern territories.The Ming Great Wall was more than 7,000 kilometers from Yalu River in Liaoning Province in the east,to Jiayuguan Pass in Gansu Province in the west.It passes nine cities,provinces and autonomous regions of Liaoning,Hebei,Tianjin,Beijing,Shanxi,Inner Mongolia,Shaanxi,Ningxia and Gansu.

The most important two sections in Beijing were the Great Wall at Juyongguan and Badaling.Juyongguan Pass is located at 50 kilometers northJwest of downtown Beijing,The mountains flanking the valley have many graceful peaks and it used to one of the famous "Eight Views of Yanjing".

Juyongguan was built in a mountain gap between mountain peaks with only one road leading to the capital Beijing,which determined its military signifacance in ancient times through many dynasties and it has been consistently valuable to military strategists. The name "Juyong" means "a place of poor laborers".In order to commemorate the dead people,the Great Wall wass built here,we call it "Juyongguan Pass".There is an ancient marblr platform here known as "Cloud Terrace".It was built during the Yuan Dynasty and used as "the Crossing Road Pagoda".The Cloud Terrace is 9.5 meters high,26.8meters from east to west,17.6meters from north to south at the base.Inside the arched passage of Cloud Terrace,there are carved in relief Buddist images on the wall,such as the Rour Heavenly Kings,the Buddha of Ten Directions and 1,000 Buddha Statues.There are also Buddha scriptures inscribed on the stone wall in the Sanskrit,Tibetan,Basiba,Xixia,Uyger and Han languages.They offer us wonderful examples of their exquisite workmanship and vividness in carving.Tey are extremely valuable to study the Buddhism and ancient languages.

The Badaling Great Wall is about 75 kilometers northwest of Beijing,and it is the best preserved partof the Great Wall."Bada" means "convenient transportation to all directions".From here,people can go all directions;hence the name "Badaling".Badaling Pass was an outpost of Juyongguan Pass.The wall here rose high on the mountain ridge.It used to be more important than Juyongguan Pass in the defence of Beijing.An old saying can be the best description:"It needs only one man to block ten thousand troops".

Nxet,Ill say something about the main force of the constrction work.It was composed of soiders,criminals and the local laborers.At that time,the common transportation method was to carry the building materials by backbreaking labor.So it is a difficult and long process.

The Badaling section is about 12 kilometers long with 24 watchtowers and 4 wall platforms.there are 4 characters inscribed on the eastern pass of Badaling:"Juyongwaizhen" which means there was another strategic town outside the Juyongguan Pass.The western pas was carved "Beimensuoyue" which means ”a key to the north gate",describing that Badaling Pass was just like a lock on the gate of Beijing.If thegate was unlocked by a key,Beijing would be open.In order to make warning signals,Beacon Towers were built on both sides of the wallat the connanding points,which were at the top of the mountains or the twists and turns.Whenever the enemy was sighted,fires were lit on the top of Beacon Tower at night,and smoke was made during the daytime,There were also Watch Towers built here,which for watching over the invading enemy.

Well,thats all for my presentation.Thank you for your attention.Im looking forward to your next visit.Thank you!
