On the west side of Ursa walls inlaid with a few "wild goose pagoda title" tablet, wild goose pagoda title like this tablet in the scenic spot I have dozens of tong. "Wild goose pagoda title" began in the tang dynasty, refers to the top of is in changan exceeded otherregions HeJinShi, gathered wild goose pagoda, and Wu Ju cultural activities, on the small wild goose pagoda title jiajing nineteen years (1540), after having obtained title metropolitan examinations of shaanxi inscription is: "name the topic wild goose pagoda between heaven and earth first things first." After the tang dynasty poet bai juyi in A.D. 800 exceeded otherregions jinshi spring-and-autumn way: "jion tower under the title, 17 of the boy." Implemented at the moment. Said "poor Meng Fuzi" meng jiao, jinshi in only 46 years old, he spring-and-autumn yue: "old dirty not kua, debauchery is long, life is short. Today percussion horseshoe disease, a day to see changan flowers." After he receive government degrees "" spring in his famous poem, become popular 美谈.

In the ancient capital of chang an activity is a continuation of more than one thousand years, wild goose pagoda title and title jinshi just continue to the tang dynasty. Because each in each generation, since the tang dynasty chang an is no longer a capital city, but so do dungans followed a provinces after having obtained juren Tang Jinshi jas have title activity on the wild goose pagoda. He in the temples and the wild goose pagoda, is still a deposit of the Ming and qing dynasties after having obtained juren title tablet in 73. In the jianfu temple, the small wild goose pagoda has also kept a Wu Ju title title 17 tong Ming and qing dynasties, also known as the "wild goose pagoda title". Because the size of wild goose pagoda emulate title in the tower, considerable tang tang dynasty life, then gradually formed as title wild goose pagoda, the small wild goose pagoda. These are historical data in the system of our countrys scientific research.

North of the hall for the two-story dharma scripture-stored tower, the upper with xuan zang had translated books, the dharma, dedicated to a statue of amitabha Buddha, is the Ming dynasty bronze figure of Buddha of fine gold. Xuan zang consecrate Buddha dharma is also on display, xuan zang institution and peek at base, round BeiTa portraits, etc. Round city ghost kingdom prince, by year after becoming a monk came to China, given up to xuan zang and door; Snapshot of the base is xuan zang ambitions, this is the founding fathers WeiChi ready and nephew, every time go out with three car, so has the nickname "three monks". Thus it can be seen at the time of xuan zang, fame and position.

Now, at the foot of the people came to the wild goose pagoda, formerly known as temple of great wild goose pagoda FuTu. Master xuan zang to keep from India brought back a large number of buddhist scriptures and the Buddha sarira, in AD 652, the attached chart, approved by the court, in BenSi west courtyard pagoda built five layer. Each layer of all remaining sarira, a total of more than ten thousand grains. Master xuan zang to attend a tower labor, carrying bricks, took two years to build.

As for the "wild goose pagoda" the name of the origin, the dialects. And xuan zang own compilation of the datang western region "described in the buddhist story of the most credible. In history, according to "the datang western xuan zang mahayana and theravada Buddhism in early points two, mahayana precepts carnivorous, theravada dont quit. Ancient Indian magadha tuo state city, a king outside indra the mountain have a temple, the temple monks believe in theravada teaching, one day, at will, the monk hungry, not landing, lunch is complaining. There is a monk suddenly see a group of geese fly through the air, freely a joke: Ive been waiting all the monk for many days without eating meat, if bodhisattvas have spirit, should know our difficulties! See the words sound just fell, the leading wild goose to fly back, arrived before the monk was broken wings fell down, and all the monks frightened, understand what is Buddha to education them, the monk hurriedly bowed down, and buried the courts to the goose. Built on a tower, named wild goose pagoda, to believe in mahayana from now on, no longer eat meat. This is the origin of the name of the wild goose pagoda. The word "wild goose pagoda" plus one "big" word, before it is due to architectural grandeur of the tower, the second is built in the jianfu temple tower is as known as the wild goose pagoda, to distinguish, hence respectively referred to as the wild goose pagoda and small wild goose pagoda. Of Buddhism in India, also went to join the ritual of the famous wild goose pagoda.

Master xuan zang organization construction of the stupa in person, because of the brick surface soil, wind and rain erosion, gradually destroyed after more than 40 years. Wu zetian changan years (AD 701-704) the empress wu zetian and tombs which adheres to give money to rebuild. Hence converted into seven layers of the pagoda pagoda, said 7 class floor, more majestic earlier. People often say: "save peoples life, made 7 class floor", almost.

One thousand years, has been of great wild goose pagoda is the symbol of the ancient city of xi an and landmark buildings. Towering pagoda, a symbol of master xuan zang spirit of high quality and great personality.

A castle in the wild goose pagoda is a typical imitation wooden type 2-foot-tall tower, more well-known Chinese and foreign with "personality" story. Wild goose pagoda is composed of tower, tower, DaCha Lao, 64.7 meters, carved on the lintel frame has a line in the tang dynasty. Four bar with fluency vivid shade is engraved line carve Buddha, bodhisattva, king kong lux portrait. Especially XiMenMei line in characterization, the lecture is the Buddha, look dignified kind, 30 honour bodhisattva poses of all stripes, lifelike. Today we research building in tang dynasty, buddhist art and history and culture of precious materials.

Embedded at the bottom of great wild goose pagoda south on both sides of the gate put the emperor taizong of the "tang monk SAN teaching sequence", and when the prince of the tang dynasty the emperor "tang monk SAN teaching sequence", two second "st" monument, all by the head of the secretariat (prime minister) book by b. Like this both tablet inscription and the relative arrangement, left and right sides is symmetrical. Set in pagodas, it is unique. Engraved inscription and below are their elegant, dancing began flying dance lotte, scan "sequence" tablet musicians of instrument for wind, monuments, and "remember" instruments for string. So tianle dance is a buddhist fairyland.

Some say wild goose pagoda SAN teaching sequence memorial tablet "quiet" two st. One is two st imperial emperor taizong account from - from "sequence", taizi Li Zhi from "remember" the name, the second is the experiences of xuan zang - praise xuan zang to obtain buddhist scriptures preach Buddhism, the contents of three is everyone calligraphy calligraphy masterpieces of - b, four is in huang, changan solemn sacred big buddhist temple in the city. Therefore this monument as a national treasure, the treasure of the name is more famous monuments.

Now, we came to a layer in the wild goose pagoda. First look at the two stone tablets, on the wall on both sides is a xuan zang institution, one is translated by the figure xuan zang. The two tablet is the vivid reflection of xuan zang mage glorious life.

Look at pillar hang four long, is by the emperor taizong, tang dynasty the emperor and the words of the master xuan zang.

The fourth picture means: we cherish esteeming mood, built a pagoda, with resettlement from the buddhist monk buddhist paradise to classical, magnificent pagoda thousand buddhas bless, and to pay close attention to; We also need to establish the monument, engraved two precious holy wrote inscriptions, stupa st mark will be with heaven and earth, stand in changan resort.

Now we began to climb up the visit. Please step light tower, pay attention to safety. Is rich in every layer of display, respectively consecrate figure of Buddha of fine gold of Ming dynasty, the Indian buddhist monk of the Buddha sarira, display has Buddha footprint stele, department of xuan zang in his later years of print consecrate Buddha replica of stone, and xuan zang poems calligraphy, poetry, yu, qi baishi.

Looking down but, how can distinguishes the imperial state." These poems are rare song.

We got to the top of the stupa, I have a kind of "step into the world," superb wonderful feeling, all the trapped, the magnificent scenery of the ancient city of panoramic view, the ghost town.

Tourists friends, let us now slowly down the tower, pay attention to safety. Behind the monk xuan zang to continue to visit.

St. laorenzo church, known as Fengshun church, is one of the three oldestchurches in Macao. It is located in fengshuntang street, just opposite to MacauCiyou middle school. The actual construction year is unpredictable, butaccording to historical records, it is estimated that the church was a woodenchapel founded by Jesuits around 1569. According to the inscriptions on one ofthe stone inscriptions in the church, it was first rebuilt in 1618. As for thescale of the church, it was rebuilt in 1844.

When St. laorenzo church was built in the early years, because it was closeto the wharf, there was a flag pole in the church, which was an importantindicator for Portuguese to decide whether to go to sea or not. "A brief accountof Macao" states: "in the southwest, there is Fengxin temple. Since the Tibetanships came out, the family members came back every day and prayed for Fengxinhere." Therefore, this church is also commonly known as "fengxintang". Later,because of the homonym of "Xin" and "Shun" in Cantonese, perhaps to pray forgood weather, "Feng Xin" became "Feng Shun", and "Feng Shun Tang Street" and"Feng Shun Tang district" got their names. Different from the rose church andSt. Josephs Chapel, St. laorenzos building is towering and imposing. TheEuropean classical style has a baroque flavor. Because the whole building is notlocated in the square (front ground), or out of the position of a certainsection of scenery, in order to highlight the existence of the whole church andserve as the center of a residential area, a high platform with nearly one flooris added below the church to make it more upright and conspicuous. And theprocess of the faithful men and women climbing up the ladder has become a kindof ceremony before they enter the church to worship. Another difference from thefirst two churches is that St. laorenzo church covers a large area, so there isa large courtyard around the church. The courtyard is full of vibrant plants,and it is separated from the residential buildings nearby in space and vision.Therefore, the entrance to the church basically focuses on the building itself,the surrounding plants and the blue sky There is no earthly noise, quiet andpleasant.

Many years ago, Fengshun hall was called Fengxin hall among Chinese people,which means Shunfeng Shunshui. Most of the Portuguese who lived in Australiamade a living by going to sea for business. Their families prayed for the safereturn of their relatives more than this church, hoping for the protection ofthe gods. The hyacinth flagpole set up in the church provided an important indexfor the Portuguese sailing boats which were mainly driven by wind at that time."Fengshun" is the Cantonese homonym of "Fengxin", which makes the church moreChinese.

The Fengshun hall was established as early as 1569, during which it wasrebuilt several times, including one in 1618. The old church was decorated in1979, which added to its splendor. Church design, magnificent, left and rightbell tower and Qi, one is a clock, used to tell the time; one is a bronze bell,used for church mass shaking roar. The roof of the church is covered withChinese style golden tiles, and the interior decoration is full of Orientalcolor and elegant. The hall is spacious and magnificent, with huge beams andexquisite chandeliers, which is quite luxurious and grand.

In the altar, there is a statue of Saint laorenzo, wearing gorgeous robes,holding the Bible in one hand and the staff in the other. It is solemn andsolemn. In the eyes of Portuguese who often sail, it is the God of peace andgood faith.

The church is not far away from the temple of mage. However, in the shortdistance, we can see the echo of Portuguese maritime patron and Chinese sea god,witness the collision and integration of Western and Chinese culture, andappreciate the tolerance of Macao people to different cultures.

Ladies and gentlemen, through the dalinggeng tunnel, its Zhapo town.

As for the origin of Zhapos name, some people say that once upon a time,when men went out to sea, the women in their families often stood on the highslopes and waited for their husbands to come back, so they called it "zhanpo";ganmin in Yangjiang pronounced "Zhan" and "Zhapo", so they called it "Zhapo";others said that Zhapo was originally built on a very messy hillside, so it wascalled "zapo" In fact, the origin of Zhapos name comes from the couplets at thegate of Mayuan temple.

In ancient times, on the island along the coast of Yangjiang, fishermenlived happily and peacefully.

It is said that since then, an evil dragon has been swimming in the sea,often making waves, and the fishermens life is not peaceful.

When the tsunami came, families were destroyed and devastated.

Later, Ma Yuan, the Fubo General of the Eastern Han Dynasty, passed throughYangjiang. Knowing this, he called for a big stone from the sea to suppress thewaves.

This big stone is now the "Butterfly Island" in front of Zhapo town.

From then on, the sea did not raise waves, and fishermen moved in one afteranother, making it a new fishing port.

In memory of the Fubo General Ma Yuan, people built a Ma Yuan Temple on theseaside mountain. A couplet was written at the entrance of the temple: "chishisilently protects the stability of the boat, and the gate wave maintains thepeace of Hailing." it means: General Ma Yuan moved the big stone here to protectthe safety of the fishing boat; the big stone blocked the waves, and the windand waves were calm from then on, maintaining the peace of Hailing Island.

Later, the local fishermen were grateful and nostalgic for General MaYuans kindness of "chishizhapo", so they named the new port "Zhapo".

According to the archaeological findings so far, at least 7000 years ago,there were ancestors who multiplied this time. The early Fuzhou people made aliving by fishing and hunting. They were our new people, called "Min people".With "golden hair, blue eyes, white skin." At that time, the ancient min peopleused snakes as totems. As soon as they went door to door, they could see a snakeworshipped in the center of the hall. In the past, no matter what kind of snakewas called an insect, so an insect in the door was the source of FujianProvince.

Fuzhou belonged to Yue during the spring and Autumn period and the WarringStates period. After Qin Shihuang unified the six states, Minzhong county wasset up here to govern Fuzhou. Later, in the fifth year of emperor Gaozu of theHan Dynasty, Wu Zhu became the king of Fujian and Yue, and began to build thefirst city of Fuzhou, Yecheng. Fuzhou has a history of more than 200 years sinceYecheng. After that, Fuzhou experienced six times of city expansion, and becamethe imperial capital for five times. In the 13th year of Kaiyuan in TangDynasty, people found that there was a mountain in the northwest of Fuzhou citycalled Fushan, so the city got its name because of the mountain, called"Fuzhou", which has been called to this day. Its really a blessed state withoutstanding people and geomantic omen!

The word "Fu" was first used in the Qing Dynasty Kangxi dictionary to add ahorizontal, a mouth and a field beside the word "Yi". In other words, as long asa person has a piece of clothing to wear, a bite to eat, and a share of farming,it is the greatest blessing. Up to now, "happiness" has a deeper meaning, thatis, longevity, good virtue, good death. And the "blessed state" shows itsconnotation even more. It has not only the spirit of mountain, the spirit ofwater, but also the blessing of people. In Fuzhou, we will enjoy the blessingsof heaven, earth, eyes, mouth and purity

Comfort weather: Fuzhou has a warm and humid subtropical marine monsoonclimate, with an average annual temperature of about 16-20 degrees. The climateis mild and pleasant with abundant rainfall, which is suitable for crop growth.There are lots of vegetables in the four seasons. There are melon seeds inJanuary, sugarcane in February, loquat in March, bayberry in April, peach inMay, litchi in June, guava in July, longan in August, persimmon in September,olive in October, pear in November and tangerine in December to celebrate thenew year. )In addition, the sea area of Fuzhou is also very vast, which isequivalent to the land area. Therefore, Fuzhou has many good harbors and a widevariety of aquatic fish. It is one of the three major natural mariculture basesin China. In short, there are more trees, flowers, fruits and seafood all yearround.

Land with mountains and water: from the perspective of terrain, the uncannyworkmanship of nature has long been the unique terrain of Fuzhou

Appearance - there are mountains on three sides and the sea on one side.There are Gushan in the East, Qishan in the West and Shoushan in the north. Themother river, Minjiang River, runs through the urban area, forming a momentum of"pillow mountain, face sea and bend river". Another nursery rhyme says, "threemountains are hidden, three mountains are visible, three mountains areinvisible." There are nine mountains in the center of Fuzhou City. Three of themare hidden. Three of them are invisible. Of course, three of them are visible.They are Wushan, Yushan and Pingshan. There is a tower called Wuta on Wushanmountain, while there is a tower called Baita on Wushan mountain. The two towersface each other from afar, forming the urban pattern of "three mountains, twotowers and one river". The "tiaojiang" here is of course the Minjiang River. Itoriginates from the Wuyishan mountains in the north of Fujian Province. Its mainstream is 577 km long, and its drainage area accounts for about half of thewhole province. 70% of Fujian people grew up drinking water from the MinjiangRiver, so we affectionately call it the mother river of Fujian. Bing Xin, aliterary master from Fujian, praised her like this: "I only know there is a bluesea, but I dont know there is a green river. This is the hometown of myparents. Fuchun River is not as quiet as her, Pearl River is not as quiet asher. " Yu Dafu, a famous writer, also compares the Min River to the Rhine Riverin China. He thinks that the Min River is more beautiful than the Rhine River inEurope. In addition, there are more than 42 rivers in Fuzhou, large and small,with a total length of more than 99 kilometers. You may see many cities likeFuzhou with mountains and water, but I dont think many cities like Fuzhou havemountains outside the city and mountains inside the city, not only rivers andrivers, but also sea water!

Fuzhou has been known as "banyan city" since ancient times. When we enteredthe city, 80% of the trees planted on both sides were banyan trees. Fuzhoubanyan planting can be traced back to the Northern Song Dynasty, which has ahistory of more than 800 years. At that time, there was a prefect named ZhangBoyu. One summer, the weather was hot. He went to the countryside to inspect thepeoples situation. As he walked, he felt a little heat stroke and fever. Atthis time, I happened to meet a kind old farmer. He helped the prefect to restunder a tree and brought him a bowl of water. After drinking water, the prefectwoke up. Looking up, I came across a big tree. He asked the old farmercuriously, "what kind of tree is this, why can it grow so well here?". The oldfarmer told him that it was called banyan, and it was the most suitable place togrow in such a hot place as Fuzhou. The next day he planted two big banyan treesin front of his Yamen. And also called on the local people to plant banyantogether. For a time, Fuzhou was full of green, and the heat was not enough. Thereputation of Rongcheng has been handed down since then. Fuzhou is one of theexcellent tourist cities in China. There are more than 150 famous historicalsites in the city, and 17 of them have been listed in the national key culturalrelics protection units. There are so many scenic spots that you can have a goodlook!

Its delicious. You should control your saliva. I believe you have heardthat Fujian cuisine in Fuzhou is one of the eight major cuisines in China. Thechief representative dish of Fujian cuisine is called "fo Tiao Qiang", formerlyknown as "Fu Shou Quan". It is said that it was first made by the wife of anofficial. Is a collection of delicacies in one of the hodgepodge. Later, ZhengChunfa, the founder of Fujian cuisine, ran a restaurant called juchunyuan, wherea group of Juren and scholars came to sing poems. "Fu Shou"

As soon as the table was lifted and the lid of the altar was opened, thefragrance suddenly overflowed, and everyone clapped their hands and exclaimed,"the altar opened, the meat and fragrance floated around, and the Buddha heardthat he had abandoned Zen and jumped over the wall.". From then on, "Fu ShouQuan" changed its name to "fo Tiao Qiang" and became famous. In addition, Fuzhoualso has chicken soup boiled clam, lychee meat and other specialties. There arefish balls, meat swallow, light cake, taro and so on, when famous, absolutelylet you feast!

Finally, I would like to introduce the Qingfu of bathing in hot springs.Fuzhou is one of the three rare hot spring cities in China

One. "The five phoenixes and the rising sun give birth to Lishui, and theJiulong meridians give birth to golden soup." Fuzhou hot spring was developedand used as early as Jin Dynasty. It has a long history and is well-known.Fuzhou hot spring has three characteristics. First, the water temperature ishigh; second, the water volume is large and the burial depth is shallow. Third,the water quality is good, colorless and tasteless. Some hot springs alsocontain potassium, sodium and other trace elements, which have a good effect onthe treatment of skin diseases and painful arthritis. Now, please look along myleft hand. We have arrived at the first stop, Jintang hot spring resort inFuzhou. Next, please take your valuables and follow Xiao Wu to get off the carto take a bath. Lets wash away the dust and tiredness along the way. Lets havea good time bathing in the hot spring!

As a famous historical and cultural city, Fuzhou has four cultural tourismbrands: Tanshishan, Sanfangqixiang, chuanzheng and shoushanshi. Although it isfar away from the Central Plains, it has been built as the capital of emperorsfor five times in history. ① the first time was when Emperor Gaozu of HanDynasty established Minyue kingdom here. ② In the Five Dynasties and ten states,the capital of Fujian was established. ③ At the end of the Southern SongDynasty, song duanzong fled to Fuzhou, registered in Fuzhou, and promoted Fuzhouto "Fuan Fu" as the capital. ④ At the end of Ming Dynasty, Emperor Longwuestablished the second Nanming regime in Fuzhou, which was called "Tianxingmansion". ⑤ The last time, in 1933, the 19th Route Army of the Kuomintanglaunched the "Fujian incident" in Fuzhou and established the "peoplesrevolutionary government of the Republic of China", with the capital inFuzhou.

As an excellent tourist city in China, Fuzhou has rich natural and culturaltourism resources. If you like mountaineering, you can go to Gushan, Qishan andQingyun mountains. Almost every mountain around you is a good touristattraction. If you like to play with water, you can not only visit the West Lakeand Zuohai, enjoy the scenery on both sides of Minjiang River, but also catch upwith the tide in Pingtan and Changle; If you like to see historic sites, Fuzhouhas a history of more than 20__ years. There are many ancient buildings, templesand former residences of celebrities. As long as you have time, you will have afeast for your eyes.

Members, Fuzhou was built in the Han Dynasty. In the Tang Dynasty, it wasrenamed Fuzhou because of the Fushan mountain in the north of Fuzhou. Later, inthe Song Dynasty, banyan trees were planted all over the city, resulting in aunique landscape of "green shade all over the city, but not covered in summer".Therefore, Fuzhou became known as "banyan city", and the louder it became, thebanyan trees became the city trees of Fuzhou.

Do you know what the city flower of Fuzhou is? As a reminder, in our car,it is filled with the fragrance of flowers. Yes, its Jasmine. Summer is theseason of jasmine Blossom. Drivers like to buy strings to hang in the car, whichnot only purifies the air, but also decorates the carriage. This is calledkilling two birds with one stone. Perhaps ah, many people dont know that thisjasmine is not Chinese nationality. It comes from Persia, which is now India andArabia. It was settled in Fuzhou when it was introduced into China from theWestern Han Dynasty, so it has been cultivated for 20__ years. Fuzhou is notonly the first place to introduce Jasmine in China, but also the birthplace ofjasmine tea. Jasmine is an imported product and a witness of Fuzhou marineculture. It can be seen that as early as the Han Dynasty, Fuzhou began to havetrade with overseas countries, and it has been an important international tradeport city in China since ancient times.

Members of the group, Fuzhou is a blessed state. I believe that all thepeople who come to Fuzhou are blessed. Fuzhou is blessed. Where is the blessing?Xiao Luo thinks that it lies in the immortal spirit of mountains, the spirit ofwater and the talent of people. Its said that its boring to have mountainswithout water, monotonous to have mountains without water, and wonderful to havemountains with water. Fuzhou is not only surrounded by mountains, but also hasWushan, Yushan and Pingshan mountains in the city. The two towers of Baita andWuta face each other, and the mother river Minjiang River passes through thecity, forming a unique urban pattern of "three mountains, two towers and oneriver".

The city is not big, there is water is spirit. Fuzhou, the city with thehighest density of inland rivers in China, still has 42 inland rivers. Accordingto the preliminary planning, Fuzhou will be divided into scenic river, navigableriver and Drainage River. I believe that in the near future, you can enjoy thecity appearance of Fuzhou by boat.

Members, when it comes to water, we have to say that Fuzhou is one of thethree hot spring areas in China. It is widely distributed, shallow buried, hightemperature, large water quantity and good water quality. The most rare thing isthat our hot springs are concentrated in the city center, which is extremelyrare in major cities in the world. Since ancient times, it has been known as"bathing in Fuzhou". Fuzhou people began to enjoy hot springs more than 1000years ago. Old Fuzhou people call hot spring hot soup. Every time after busy,after work, to the bath to "hot", that happiness is absolutely not todays saunacan compare. So far, when the old overseas Chinese came back to visit theirrelatives, they still sighed: "its good to go sightseeing, but its not as goodas taking a hot spring bath in their hometown."

So, some people say that if you come to Fuzhou and havent been to hotsprings, it means you havent been to Fuzhou. But dont worry. There are hotsprings in the hotel arranged by our travel agency. You can enjoy it in theevening.

From Tang and Song Dynasties to Ming and Qing Dynasties, there were 23 topscholars from Fuzhou, and more than 4000 Jinshi. In modern Chinese history,there were many celebrities, including Lin Zexu, a national hero, Yan Fu, awestern scholar, Bing Xin, a literary grandmother, and Chen Jingrun, amathematician. Therefore, Fuzhou is a "coastal Zou Lu" to the letter.

This shows that Fuzhou people not only enjoy life, but also study hard.Members of the group, as the saying goes, one side of the soil and waternourishes one side of the people. Fuzhou people have always been content withtheir work. They can not only endure hardships, but also adapt in time. Beingrich makes the city very tolerant and not exclusive at all. Fuzhou dialectsounds like a foreign language, but on many occasions, people still speakMandarin, even the older generation of Fuzhou people are no exception. They alllearn to say a few words, but sometimes the pronunciation is not very standard.As a matter of fact, Fuzhou dialect is the "living fossil" of ancient Chinese.At the bottom of it is the language of the ancient Minyue people. After severalgreat migrations to the north in history, these immigrants brought the ancientWu language, the ancient Chu language, and some spoken Chinese from the CentralPlains, which are integrated into todays Fuzhou dialect. It sounds like amixture of the north and the south. This is the characteristic of Fuzhou. Interms of language, work and life, all ethnic groups and multi cultures cantolerate each other and live in harmony here. As Lin Zexu said, "the seaembraces all rivers, and tolerance is great." it embodies the urban spirit ofFuzhou.

Members of the group, wherever we go, we cant help but pay attention toits catering culture. In Fuzhou, its food culture has a long history. Fujiancuisine, represented by Fuzhou Cuisine, is one of the eight major cuisines inChina. Among them, fo Tiao Qiang is the chief dish of Fujian cuisine, which hasa history of more than 100 years. As for the flavor snacks, they are all overthe streets, such as meat swallow, Dingbian paste, fish balls and so on. Ourtravel agency also has arrangements for you, and then you can have a goodtaste.

Members of the group, looking forward to the future, Fuzhou City isexpanding eastward and southward at a modern pace. It may no longer be anancient city with "three mountains, two towers and one water flowing for a longtime", but a group of modern cities with reasonable structure, suitable forhuman habitation and economic growth. It is the peoples goal of Fuzhou to buildan economic zone on the west side of the Chinese Taiwan Strait and to become a biggerand stronger central city. Fuzhou is an open city. It is opening its hands towelcome everyone.

Therefore, we warmly welcome more friends to visit Fuzhou and feel thecharm of the ancient city of Fuzhou. I believe that a blessed state will let youreturn with good fortune. All right, members of the group, we have arrived atthe hotel unconsciously. Now, please take care of your luggage and belongings.Please walk slowly. thank you!

Remarks: there is no surname of Yu, a descendant of King Gou Jian of Yue.He was born in the late Warring States period and died in the early Han Dynasty.He was the 13th grandson of Gou Jian, the king of Yue. After the disintegrationof the state of Yue, Wu Zhu moved to Fujian and occupied Fujian and itssurrounding areas, claiming to be the king of Fujian and Yue. After theunification of the Qin Dynasty, he was reduced to the chief. In Qin Dynasty,Minzhong county was under its jurisdiction. Without any anger, the king who wasremoved led the Minzhong soldiers to destroy Qin. When the Qin Dynasty died, thenarrow Xiang Yu was in charge of the government order, and Wu Zhu, who had abumpy official career, had no chance to be the king of Min again. The restlessfactors in his blood once again prompted him to lead his troops to fight againstChu, and made great contributions to the establishment of the Han Dynasty andthe reunification of China.

During the winter vacation, I went back to my hometown Zhangjiajie andvisited the world-famous scenic spot Tianmen Mountain.

Tianmen Mountain cableway entrance is located in Zhangjiajie City, only 40minutes drive from my home. After buying the tickets, we took the cableway upthe mountain. The whole ride in the cableway lasted about 20 minutes. The morewe went to the top of the mountain, the more exciting it was.

Finally, we arrived at the top of the mountain. We started along the Shanxiline of Tianmen. The steep mountain road along the way, coupled with the coldwinter and the fog, made us feel as if we were in a fairyland. The more you goto the east line, the lower the temperature is. There are strings of icicles onthe cliff surface, and even the water droplets on the leaves form ice. At aglance, it looks like countless crystal clear ornaments. My family and I alljoked that it was like Japan in winter, even more beautiful.

Walking on the glass plank road built on the cliff, looking at the bottomof the foot, you can see that the whole plank road is built on the stone walllike a knife cut, which is covered with thick ice and snow, and then down, it isshrouded in white fog, you cant see anything clearly, which adds a mystery tothe beautiful scenery.

We walked from the west line to the east line like flying through theclouds. Along the way, some people are lamenting the magic of nature, whileothers are glad that the fog has covered the foot of the cliff, otherwise thetourists who are afraid of heights will not be so comfortable along the way.

We stop and go, about three hours later, we came to the most famous Tianmencave. But this time, because of the ice and snow weather at the top of themountain, the entrance has been closed. We cant go down the stairs to thebottom of Tianmen cave, we can only look down at Tianmen cave from the top ofthe mountain. Although I just looked down and far away, I was already amazed athow such a big natural cave was formed! My aunt who had been to Tianmen cavetold me that the cave is very big, and people would feel very small when theystand under it! The cave is so big that even a plane stunt once flew throughit!

If you want to experience the magic and mysterious Tianmen Mountain, pleasecome to my hometown Zhangjiajie, I can be your guide!

The places of historic interest and scenic beauty are the Yu Garden,located in the northeast of Shanghai, old Chengxiang, North Road, Anren street,southwest and Shanghai old temple.

In the park, there are three famous stones of the south of the YangtzeRiver called the jade Linglong, the command point of the 1853 knives uprising,the spring hall, and the tourist attractions of Town Gods Temple and shoppingstreet on the side of the park.

Yu Garden began to open to the public in 1961. In 1982, it was listed as anational key cultural relic protection unit by the State Council.

Yu Garden was originally a private garden in the Ming Dynasty. It was builtin Jiajing and Wanli years. It has been over four hundred years as of 20__.

Pan yunduan, the owner of the garden, was the chief minister of Sichuan.His father pan en, whose name is Zi Ren, was named Lijiang. He was an officialin duchayuan, the censor of zuodou and the Minister of punishment. The panfamily was the wangmen family in Shanghai at that time. In 1553 (the 32nd yearof Jiajing reign of the Ming Dynasty), the nine mile long wall of Shanghai wasbuilt, which gradually calmed down the Japanese invasion along the southeastcoast. For more than 20 years, the people of Shanghai, whose lives and propertywere often threatened, gained a little stability, and the social economyrecovered and began to prosper. The literati built gardens one afteranother.

Pan en resigned in his old age and returned to his hometown. In order tolet his father live in his old age, pan yunduan began to build gardens onseveral vegetable fields in the west of the Shichun Hall of the pan familyshouse in 1559. After more than twenty years of painstaking efforts, Yu Gardenhas been built. "Yu" has the meaning of "peace" and "Antai". It is named "YuGarden" and has the meaning of "Yuyue old relatives".

At that time, the Yu Garden was over 70 acres, designed by Zhang Nanyang, afamous gardener in Ming Dynasty, and personally involved in the construction.The ancients praised Yu Garden "Qi Xiu Jia in Southeast" and "southeast famousgarden crown".

Pan yunduans family declined in his later years. Pan yunduan died in1620__ (the 29th year of Wanli in the Ming Dynasty), and his family graduallydeclined, unable to bear the huge expenses of garden repair and management. Atthe end of the Ming Dynasty, Yu Garden was made for Zhang Zhaolin. From then to1760 (twenty-five years of Qianlong emperor), in order not to annihilate thisscenic spot, some local gentry merchants gathered money to buy Yu Garden, andspent more than twenty years to rebuild the terrace and build the mountainstone. At that time, the East Garden in Town Gods Temple was East, that is,todays inner garden, and the Yu Garden was slightly West. Shanghai Yu Gardenancient pavilion landscape

In 1842, twenty-two years ago, the first Opium War broke out, and foreigninvaders invaded Shanghai. The British army took over the Yu Garden and ravagedit. In 1853, in response to the Taiping Revolution, Shanghai Xiaodao Societylaunched an uprising in Shanghai. After the uprising failed, the Qing soldiersburned and looted in the city, and the Yu Garden was severely damaged. Thebuildings such as the spring hall, the fragrant snow hall, the osmanthus flowerhall, the moon house and so on were all on fire.

In 1860 (ten years of Qing Xianfeng), the Taiping Army marched intoShanghai. The Manchu government colluded with the British and French invaders,took Town Gods Temple and Yu Garden as a garrison outside the army, excavatedstones and filled pools in the garden, and built western style military houses.After 1875, the whole garden was divided into more than 20 industrial andcommercial industries in Shanghai, such as bean and rice industry, sugarindustry, cloth industry and so on. On the eve of liberation, the Yu Gardenpavilions were dilapidated, the rockery collapsed, the pool dried up, the treeswithered, and the old landscapes were gradually annihilated.

Since 1956, Yu Garden has carried out a large-scale renovation, whichlasted for five years and opened to the public in September 1961. Now Yu Gardenoccupies an area of over thirty acres, with varied pavilions, lofty mountainsand trees, and green trees. It is beautiful and exquisite, exquisitely carvedand long, and has the characteristics of small and medium sized. It reflects theartistic style of the two dynasties Jiangnan garden architecture in Ming andQing Dynasties.

Yu Garden was listed as a municipal cultural relic protection unit in 1959.Yu Garden was opened to the public in 1961. In February 1982, it was publishedby the State Council as a national key cultural relic protection unit.

Cuixiu hall was built in 1760. It is hidden deep in the north foot of therockery. It faces a cliff and faces a high wall in the north. It is surroundedby ancient wood and beautiful flowers. The environment is quiet and elegant. Youcan have a close view of the rockery by pushing the window in the hall. Nowthere is an antique shop.

"Gradually getting better" comes from the biography of Gu Kai in the bookof Jin, which is fascinating. The corridor is paved with stone slabs, with asmall bridge in the middle and geese on both sides. You can watch the scenery ofthe mountains and rivers. In the middle of the corridor stands a Taihu Lakestone peak, about 2.3 meters high and graceful, so it is called "beautywaist".

The iron lion of the Yuan Dynasty is located in front of the corridor of"getting better". Left female and right male, cast in 1290, the base bears theinscription of "Zhao Zhang, craftsman of Tongshan Town, Anyang County, ZhangdePrefecture" and "xigengyin, 27 years old from the state of yuan, October28".

Built with thousands of tons of Huangshi from Wukang, Zhejiang Province,the rockery was carefully designed and built by Zhang Nanyang, a famous mountainmaker in the Ming Dynasty. It is also his only surviving work. The height of themountain is about 14 meters. Pan Yunduans evaluation of the big rockery in thebook of Yu Garden is: "it is very pleasant to watch."

Yangshan hall is composed of five couplets. In the north, there is anambulatory and a curving sill near the pool. You can sit and rest. In the hall,there is a plaque of "here are lofty mountains" recorded in the preface toLanting by Wang Xizhi of Jin Dynasty. The name of juanyu building comes from thepoem "the curtain of pearls is rolling rain in the West Mountain" in tengwanggeby Wang Bo, a poet of the early Tang Dynasty.

Sansui hall was built in 1760 when the west garden was rebuilt. It is 9meters high. It is one of the main buildings in the garden. In the Qing Dynasty,it was a place for official celebrations and "preaching the oracle", and also agathering place for the local gentry.

The "famous Marine Park" was held in May 18, 1999 by Comrade __ of the CPCCentral Committee and __ and __ to celebrate the 440th anniversary issue of YuGarden construction.

Ginkgo tree is 21 meters high, with dense branches and leaves. It is saidthat it was planted by the owner of the garden for more than 400 years.

The four corners of Wanhua building have the pattern of plum, orchid,bamboo and chrysanthemum, and the four windows are leaky. There are many windingsills around the corridor. Beside the white wall, there are stone peaks andgreen bamboos.

There is a small pavilion at the east end of the corridor. When you lookdown on it, you can see the clear spring like a mirror. When you look across thecliff, you can see the stone peak standing on the wall. Facing the mountain andfacing the water, you can see the ancient peoples taste of "two suitable formountain and water". So its called liangyixuan. In the north there is abuilding named Yifang, which is shaped like an ancient boat.

The corridor is separated by a wall in the middle and can walk on bothsides. There are leaky windows of different shapes on the wall. From the leakywindows, you can see the terrace on the left and the peak stone on the right,just like a picture sketch. The west end of the corridor is connected with aSquare Pavilion. There is a plaque in the pavilion, which says "understanding isnot far away".

Around the Yule Pavilion, there are towering ancient trees. You can see thefish swimming in the pool by the fence. The watersheds on XieJian stream reflectthe characteristics of Jiangnan gardens. The stream is only a few feet long. Theflower wall divides the stream into two. There are leaky windows andsemicircular openings on the wall. Next to the fish Pavilion, there is aWisteria tree that has passed more than three hundred years of spring andautumn. In the early spring of each year, its branches are full of small whiteflowers.

Genial hall and Dianchun hall are separated from each other by water. Thehall is square and open around. A set of furniture on display in the hall,including tables, chairs, tables and decorative Phoenix and Kirin, are all madeof banyan roots and have a history of more than 100 years. There are stone stepsleading to the listening Oriole Pavilion.

"Da Chang Tai" is also called "Feng Wu Luan Yin". The stage is close to themountain and water. The eaves in front of the stage are exquisitely carved andpainted with gold and color. On the stone pillars around the stage, there arecouplets depicting the scenery of spring, summer, autumn and winter.

In the southeast of dianchuntang, there are lakes, rocks, rockeries,clouds, water and rocks, and deep caves. On the mountain, there are double-layerpavilions; the upper layer is called Kuailu, and the lower layer is calledYanshuang Pavilion. From Kuailu to the south, there are jingyixuan and TingliPavilion, surrounded by flower walls, forming a small courtyard.

Chuanyun dragon wall is located in the west of Dianchun hall. The dragonhead is made of clay, and the dragon body is made of tiles. There are alsoseveral dragon walls in the garden: Wolong behind the rockery, Shuanglong Xizhuin the west of the genial hall, and mianlong in front of the inner garden.

The whole building of Dianchun hall is a five bay hall with characterscarved on the fans. The beams and columns are of peculiar shapes and decoratedwith gold foil. After the hall, there is a water Pavilion in linchi, on whichthere is a plaque saying "feifeiyue". Dianchun hall was built in the early yearsof Daoguang reign in the Qing Dynasty. It was once the place for Fujian foreignmerchants to worship gods in Shanghai. It is commonly known as "HuatangGongshu". During the Xiaodaohui uprising, this was the headquarters of theuprising army in the north of the city. One of the leaders of the Xiaodaohui,the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, recruited Marshal Chen Alin to work here andissued a decree, which was called "dianchuntang mansion". After the failure ofthe uprising, Dianchun hall was seriously damaged. In 1868, it was rebuilt andcompleted in four years. There is a large traditional Chinese painting "swordview" by Ren Bonian, a painter of the late Qing Dynasty. On both sides of thepainting are couplets written by the calligrapher Shen Yinmo: "courage embracesemptiness, and heart is the source of essence.". The hall also displays theweapons used by the rebel army, self coined coins, sun and moon coins, as wellas the announcement and other cultural relics.

Because both sides of the pavilion are facing water, the meaning of"flowing cup and flowing water" is taken from preface to Lanting. On the side ofthe pavilion, there are three curved slab bridges, built with water. West ofSanqu Banqiao is Huanyun rockery. The mountain is made of Lake stones, withdeyuelou in the north and Qingquan in the West. There are springs in the cave,and streams flow out of the cave.

forbidden city(紫禁城)

(in front of the meridian gate)

ladies and gentlemen:

i am pleased to serve as your guide today.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

(in front of the gate of supreme harmony)

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

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

(after walking past the gate of supreme harmony)

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

(in front of the hall of complete harmony)

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

(in front of the hall f preserving harmony)

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

(behind the hall of preserving harmony)

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

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

route a

ladies and gentlemen:

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

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

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

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

Hello and welcome to Zhuzhou. Im your guide_

Yandi mausoleum is located in luyuanpo, Tangtian Township, 15 kilometerssouthwest of Yanling County, Hunan Province, also known as "tianzifen". EmperorYans mausoleum, the Shennong family, is a legendary tribal leader in ancienttimes, surnamed Jiang. In history, he taught the people to plant and harvestgrain, so he was called "Shennong". He also tasted herbs and invented medicine,so he was also the "God of medicine". Besides, it is also said that he used fireto benefit mankind, made musical instruments and advocated material exchange Ina word, the Shennong family of Yan Emperor is a God who is inseparable from theinvention and creation of agriculture, industry, commerce, medicine, literatureand other fields in the historical legend, so it has been greatly respected andsacrificed by the Chinese people of all dynasties. Finally, he died because hetasted the poisonous heartbroken herb and had no remedy. It was recorded inEmperor Century written by Emperor Fumi of Jin Dynasty. After his death, he wasburied in Changsha. According to Lu Shi written by Luo Mi of Song Dynasty, "theend of Changshas tea town is called Chaling" (Yanling County was divided byChaling in the Southern Song Dynasty). Ancient trees cover the surrounding areaof Yandis Mausoleum and water surrounds it. On the side of the mausoleum, thereis a "medicine washing pool", which is said to be the place where Emperor Yanwashed herbal medicine, as well as several Royal Sacrifice steles of the Mingand Qing Dynasties.

Yandi Mausoleum scenic area includes Yandi mausoleum, Yanling temple,Fengsheng temple, Chongde square, huzhenguan temple, Luyuan Pavilion,shenghuotai and other cultural landscapes, as well as Luyuan cave, longnaostone, longzhushi, xihuachi and other natural landscapes, which are allattractive places.

The mausoleum area of Yan Emperor was called "Huangshan" in ancient times,covering an area of 2.4 square kilometers. The mausoleum area is covered withgreen mountains, green water circulation, towering ancient trees, and themausoleum hall with national architectural style is brilliant, covering an areaof 3000 square meters. In 960 ad, song Taizu ascended the throne, visitedancient mausoleums all over the world, found Yan Emperor Mausoleum in Bailuyuan,and built a temple in 967. In 1950, Emperor Yans mausoleum was listed as a keycultural relic protection unit of the province. In 1954, the main hall wasburned down because of the fire of pilgrims. In June 1986, the main hall of YanEmperors mausoleum was officially rebuilt with the approval and funding ofHunan Provincial Peoples government. The rebuilt mausoleum hall is divided intofive parts: the first part is the Meridian Gate, in which there are Danlong, twocorridors on the left and right for the stele room, and the second part is theXingli Pavilion, which is an octagonal pillar Pavilion supported by eight stonepillars, with a horizontal plaque inscribed "the ancestors of the nation shineon the world" and a couplet under it saying "virtue shines on the gloriousindustry for thousands of years; great achievements are made for thousands ofgenerations"; The third entrance is the main hall, with 24 stone pillarssupporting the top of the hall. A plaque inscribed "Chinese people will neverforget their ancestors" is hung in the hall. On both sides of the hall, thecouplet says "making leidan to lay a foundation for agriculture and industry;tasting a hundred herbs to make a precedent for medicine". In the shrine of thehall, the statue of Yan Emperor Shennong is worshipped. The statue of YanEmperor is a gold body, with rice ears in his left hand and Ganoderma lucidum inhis right hand. In front of the statue is a bamboo basket containing grains andmedicinal materials. The banner of "Qi Tians ancestor" is hung on the shrine.There are couplets on both sides of the shrine, which are "the name of theuniverse; the grace of the Divine Land". The whole hall is magnificent andsolemn. The fourth entrance is the tomb Pavilion, with a stone inscription: "thetomb of Emperor Yan Shennong". The fifth entrance is the mausoleum of EmperorYan. Shennong is one of the ancestors of the Chinese nation, so the sacrifice tothe Yan Emperors mausoleum has been very solemn and grand since ancient times.According to historical records, it began to offer sacrifices to Emperor Yansmausoleum in the Tang Dynasty. In the Song Dynasty, since the founding of thetemple by Taizu of the Song Dynasty, it was set as a big sacrifice in threeyears. In the Qing Dynasty, the ceremonies were more frequent, with 41 times ofbig sacrifice alone.

Around the mausoleum hall, there is a red wall more than 10 meters high.Surrounded by a large-scale Fengsheng temple, huzhenguan temple, angel platform,Chongde square, Zaisheng Pavilion, Shiji mansion, yongfengtai and other ancientbuildings, there are Luyuan cave, Xiaqiao, pool (also known as Xiyao pool),Huangyang mountain, longzhushi and other monuments. There are also the tensceneries of Yan mausoleum. They are: the fragrant grass Pavilion (also known asthe grass Pavilion) with flowers and plants; the bank is like a dragons head,like a stone dragons bun; the clouds are misty and bleak, like autumn rain; thehaze around the pavilion is sometimes looming, like a dense haze; In spring,there are fine grasses, clusters of wild flowers, yellow and white flowers, redand purple flowers, just like Jinyin in the destination of Fangzhou springbrocade. Birds and deer in the mountains are inconstant, and sometimes silent.When sacrificing, they fly away and sing harmoniously. There are Sheng Huangsbird and deers harmonies (also known as Bailuyuan): the big camphor ishorizontal, hollow as a hole, and people can sit with a few cups to chant theempty camphor hole; There are thousands of ancient trees in Luyuan, which arestrange. There is a fir in front of the mausoleum, which is divided into twotrunks. It is surrounded by more than ten branches and leaves. After hundreds ofyears of moistening, it is called qiuzhang lingmu. In the north of themausoleum, the pool is deep and clear, and there are hundreds of scales. Everyday, the waves are warm, and the water and light match each other; As a result,the pavilion was built and engraved with a stele: Feixiang Pavilion of differenttrees (also known as Feixiang Pavilion).

The majestic palace of Yan Emperors Mausoleum and the ancient buildingsblend with the natural scenery here, and add the ten famous scenes of YanEmperors mausoleum to match, making the whole Yan Emperors Mausoleum quiet,beautiful and magnificent. Emperors of all dynasties regarded it as a holy land,held annual sacrifices, held ceremonies, and sent envoys to pay homage to it.During the spring and Autumn period, many local members came to offersacrifices. People who sacrifice animals, burn incense and worship, come in anendless stream throughout the year.

Hengshan is a subtropical monsoon humid climate with long frost free periodand short freezing period. It has the characteristics of cool summer and coldwinter, abundant rainfall, foggy and windy, and obvious vertical temperaturechange. Good natural conditions have created Hengshans characteristic landscapeof no mountain, no tree, no place, no green. There are more than 600 familiesand 1700 kinds of trees in Hengshan Mountain. The scenic forest area is 300000mu, the primary secondary forest area is 57000 mu, and the forest coverage rateis more than 80%. Accompanied by the rare wild animals such as Caragana, bamboopheasant, big headed turtle, etc., Hengshan Mountain can be called a naturaltreasure house of biological resources!

Hengshan rises abruptly from the southern Hunan basin, forming a sharpcontrast with the surrounding areas, and also contributing to many wonderful andpeculiar climate landscapes. Hengshan scenery is known as "Four Seas", namelysea of flowers, forest, cloud and snow. The four seasons scenery of Hengshan ischaracterized by flowers in spring, clouds in summer, sun in autumn and snow inwinter. Among them, Hengshan cloud is worth mentioning. "Hengshan cloud,Huangshan pine" has been talked about by people since ancient times. Hengshansclouds change at four oclock, spring clouds are covered together, summer cloudsare like feathers, autumn clouds are like waterfalls, and winter clouds are likeink; In the early morning or evening, the mountain wind blows through the pineforest, carrying layers of clouds to the visitors. The sound of the pines isfaint and frightening. But as soon as they arrive, they turn into countlessgossamers and float away, which makes people feel depressed. No wonder theancients once sighed that "the sea of clouds sways my heart"!

The beauty of Hengshan lies in the forest and the culture. Nanyue is atreasure house of Chinese culture, known as the "civilized Olympic area". Thereare many historical records of emperors, princes and dignitaries coming here toworship in the past dynasties, especially the visits of scholars, scholars andscholars. They set up steles, built ancestral temples, visited ancient times,recited poems and wrote Fu, which left Hengshan precious material and spiritualwealth, and also made Hengshan a famous mountain of Huxiang culture.

If we say that Buddhism makes Hengshan as bright as the moon, Buddhismmakes Nanyue as bright as the sun. In the southern and Northern Dynasties,during the reign of Liang Tianjian in the Southern Dynasty, from 502 to 519A.D., monk Huihai went down from the Northern Wei Dynasty, preached at the footof Lianhua peak, and built Fangguang temple for the first time. Since then,Buddhism has been handed down to Nanyue. Later, master Xi Dun and master Hai Yincame to Hengshan to preach. In 567 A.D., the first year of Chen Guangda in theSouthern Dynasty, monk Huisi built a Prajna Buddhist temple in Hengshan topublicize Buddhism, making Buddhism officially take charge of Hengshan. FromChen Dynasty to Tang Dynasty, Buddhism has been widely developed in Hengshanfrom Ming Dynasty to Qing Dynasty. Huisi and Zhixu created Tiantai Sect,huairang created Nanyue sect, xiqian passed on Qingyuan sect, chuyuankaiHuanglong sect, huinankai Yangqi sect, Chengyuan sect, fazhao sect and Huikaisect all took place in Nanyue Mountain. In particular, under the vigorouspromotion of famous monks such as huairang, xiqian, Mazu, Daowu, Weiyan, andnature, Zen Buddhism has successively derived five sects, namely Linji, caodong,Yunmen, fayan, and Jiyang, which spread throughout the country and even inKorea, Japan and other overseas areas. It is a grand sight and is known as "fiveleaves and one flower" in the history of Buddhism.

TheBund of Shanghai is very similar to the park at the foot of the mountain inYokohama. It has beautiful scenery and is known as the symbol of Shanghai.Tomorrow you are going back to China. When you leave, please visit Xunli againand kiss Shanghai again. What do you think?

Im not tired of seeing the beautiful scenery, but I dont find itinteresting to repeat Tongsus explanation. Lets take a look at the style ofthe Bund again in the song. What songs do you sing? Yesterday, I thought thatthe surface of the Wai Bai Du bridge was once a Japanese border. It was also theplace where the movie "Floating Life in Shanghai" came to bring the tapes of thesong "floating life in Shanghai". The name is "welcome to Shanghai".

(with music recited by the former Qin Dynasty)

Beautiful Shanghai, because of the presence of VIP guests, you are morecharming. The famous Wai Bai Du bridge, the European tall edifice, the endlessYangtze River, and the the Peace Hotel that are favored by Jue style andpleasant people in Shanghai are all unforgettable.

(omitted)

"Good singing!" thank you all. "Todays tiredness must have disappeared.When you travel, your memory is the most important. Shanghai, which appears inthe song, must have left a deep impression!

Dear friends, turn ahead and enter Nanjing Road.

Nanjing road is the most prosperous street in Shanghai, which is just likeGinza in Tokyo. Nanjing road extends westward between the north and southbuildings of Heping hotel, with a total length of 5 km. The name of Nanjing roadwas set in 1865. Before that, it was called "big road", which was "big andsmall". The word "road" was written like this (showing the words whileexplaining, giving a graphic guide).

Do you know what "road" means? It means the road a horse goes through. Inthe past, this was the British concession. At first, there was no road. TheBritish liked to ride horses, so they took a road out of it, which was called"the road". In 1848, the earliest Racecourse Park in Shanghai was built on Henanroad. From the park to the Bund, the newest road in Shanghai at that time wasbuilt. Later, due to the high land price, two more horse racing yards were builtin remote places (todays Tibet Road and peoples Square). At the same time, newroads appear and continue to extend westward. From the peace hotel to JinganTemple, the main road of 5 Weng has been extended.

Ladies and gentlemen, after listening to this brief explanation, I have aclearer understanding of the origin of Nanjing: Mr. Suzuki, do you have anythingto ask? No matter. If you have any questions, please say them and I will behappy to answer them. Mr. Suzuki said: its like a holiday here. Why are thereso many people? I want to explain this.

There are many people in this area. There are three main reasons. First,Nanjing road is a world-famous busy street. People gather here for sightseeingand shopping. Second, Shanghai people also come here for shopping and visitingon holidays. Third, so far, there are almost no underground service facilities,so people have to gather on the ground.

Mr. Lu Xun said that there was no road on the ground, and when more peoplewalked, it became a road. But after the road is formed, with various servicefacilities, people will naturally gather.

On both sides of Nanjing Road, there are more than 400 shops, among whichthe most famous shops and restaurants are concentrated between the peace hoteland the first department store. For example, Shanghais most popular bookstores,food stores, clothing stores and famous restaurants in Guangdong, Sichuan andBeijing are all here. Please look at both sides of the car. Hualian CommercialBuilding and Shanghai clothing store are famous for their fashionablefirst-class clothes, which are favored by young women. Shanghai people payattention to dress. As you can see, the costumes of pedestrians on the streetare different. Its like a fashion show. Come on! Please see! There is a lady incheongsam. The slit on both sides of cheongsam is a traditional Chinese dress.It is very suitable for the charming lady in our group to wear cheongsam. Thiskind of bold and open dress in Japan will certainly attract mens attention.Cheongsam is available in friendship stores and hotel shopping malls.

Please look at the left front of the car. The place where many peoplegather is the famous Beijing restaurant "yanyunlou". Do you know why there areso many people there? Because there will be a wedding banquet there. If you wantto take photos, please have your camera ready. I ask my master to slow down. Yousee, there are red flowers pinned on the chest. The bridegroom and bride arewaiting for the guests at the door. In China, the legal marriage age is 22 formen and 20 for women. People fall in love freely. There are two kinds ofmarriage: matchmaking and free love. Most of them are free to love andmarry.

Dear friends, after entering Nanjing Road, we met all kinds of people:there were outsiders eating ice cream while shopping, and there were fashionableladies in cheongsam But have you noticed that the old man in that kind of dress,you see, is the old man standing there wearing a white hat, wearing yellowclothes, holding a small red flag. What does he do? Do you know? I want to havea prize guessing game, please participate.

Mr. Kobayashi, please talk about it. Oh, you said he did business on thestreet. So, Mr. Murakami, what do you think he does?

Its a commercial promotion on the street. It seems that you are all wrong.Lets invite a lady to guess the riddle. What do you say, Miss MichikoYamaguchi? "The manager who guides the traffic order." By the way, she guessedright. In order to thank them for their assistance, we gave them first, second,third and third prizes respectively. Ladies and gentlemen, we are about to enterNanjing West Road. On the right side of the car, the tall building is the firstdepartment store in Shanghai. The first department store is one of the largestin China, with more than 30000 kinds of goods. Here, there are about 200000shoppers a day. Since the implementation of the policy of economic reform andopening up, the living standard of the Chinese people has improved. As thesaying goes, "seeing is believing." please have a good look.

Nanjing road is a place for Chinese people to pursue the latest fashion,rich life and high consumption. In a word, this road reflects all aspects ofShanghai Peoples economic, cultural and spiritual life. Some people even saythat if you cant get to Nanjing Road, you have never been to Shanghai. Dontyou think so?

When we arrive at the international hotel, we appreciate the scenery ofNanjing Road during the day. We must want to know the charming night view ofNanjing Road --- the never night city of Shanghai. Here I dont say that afterdinner, you can take a walk on Nanjing Road and taste it slowly!

Thank you for your hard work today.

天安门和故宫。

出了门，我看见天非常蓝，像洗了一样。蓝蓝的天上飘着朵朵白云，有时像一群白羊，有时像一群小白兔，有时像一群奶牛，有时像一群北极熊，真是千姿百态!蓝色的天空配着雪白的云，我多想变成小鸟在天空中翱翔呀……

到了天安门广场，我们举行了短暂的开营仪式，导游姐姐就领着我们去故宫。

刚进故宫，有一扇红色的大门，大门上有九排金色的圆形门钉，一行九个，共八十一个。听导游姐姐说，只要摸摸金色的门钉，就会给人带来幸福。我和朋友们摸了好几遍还是摸不够!直到老师提醒我们说：“拉队了，赶紧跟上!”，我们才慌忙跟上队伍。

关于故宫让我印象最深的有两个故事：

一、有一位宫女想刺杀皇帝，当时皇帝正在睡午觉，宫女把绳子缠在皇帝的脖子上，皇帝被惊醒了，这次暗杀没有成功，宫女也被砍了头。

二、清朝时期的一位皇帝，他没生儿女就去世了，就让他的表弟来继承王位。在那个时候有个传说：皇帝的宝座上方有一块石球，只要不是皇家子孙坐在宝座上，石球就会掉下来把人砸死。继承王位的表弟非常害怕，就把宝座往后移了一米，就成为今天我们看到的这个样子。

今天的旅程虽然有点儿累，但是我学到了很多知识，心里还是很开心的!

Hello, everyone

The towering brick wall in front is Pingyao City, one of the four existingcomplete ancient cities in China. It has a history of more than 2700 years. Sofar, it still retains the basic features of the county town in the Ming and QingDynasties, which can be called the most complete ancient city in the Hannationality region of China.

The biggest feature of Pingyao ancient city is the ancient city wall. Now,please follow me up the city wall and watch the construction of the ancient citywall.

We can see that there are short walls on both sides of the city wall, whichare called "parapets". Why are they called "parapets"? There is a popular storyamong the people: there was no parapet in the city in the early days. Once, anold man was pulled to work, and his little granddaughter, who was dependent onhim, came to the city every day and sat beside him to watch. One day, a verytired migrant worker walked to the edge of the city wall in a daze. The littlegirl was afraid that he would fall and pushed him in. Unexpectedly, the migrantworker was saved, but the little girl fell to death. In memory of her, craftsmenbuilt a parapet in the city and called it a parapet. Its a touching story, butit does illustrate the protective function of the parapet. We have noticed thatevery other section of the city wall has a projecting part, which is called thepier. Whats the pier for? Its for the defense of the city wall. With piers andabutments, a powerful three-dimensional shooting net can be formed from threesides, and the city defense force is greatly strengthened. On each pier there isalso an enemy tower with holes for observation and shooting. There are 3000crenels and 72 enemy towers in the ancient city of Pingyao, which is a symbol ofConfucius three thousand disciples and seventy-two sages.

OK, tourists, its free time. You can take photos. When taking photos, youshould pay attention to your body. Dont go outside the wall. Pay attention tosafety. Dont engrave on the wall. Thank you for your cooperation.

大家好!我姓王，可以叫我王。今天我们即将游故宫，它于1987年被列为世界文化遗产。

看!现在我们面前的就是故宫。它又称紫禁城，是明清两代的皇宫，是世界上现存规模最大最完整的古代木结构建筑群。它始建于明永乐四年(公元1406年)，历时14年才完工，占地72万平方米。共有宫殿9999间。共有24位皇帝先后在此登基。

现在我们在故宫里最吸引人的三大建筑——太阳殿、中和殿和保和殿之间，它们都是黄琉璃顶和青白石底座，饰以金碧辉煌的彩画。告诉你们一个最近的发现：故宫所有的宫殿是沿着一条由南北向中轴线排列，并向两旁展开，南北取直，左右对称。这条中轴线不仅贯穿在故宫内，而且南达永定门，北到钟楼、鼓楼，贯穿了整个城市，气魄宏伟，规划严谨，极为壮观。故宫内现收藏的珍贵历史文物和艺术品约一百万件。更重要的是，故宫的建筑依据其布局功用分为外朝和内廷，外朝和内廷以乾清门为界，乾清门以南为外朝，北名内廷。外朝以太和殿、中和殿和保和殿三大殿为中心，此外两翼有文华殿、上驷院、南三所、武英殿、内务府等建筑。你恐怕会问，那内廷呢?别急，呆会到内廷区域内再说。

好了，我们现在可以说了。因为我们来到了内廷的中心——后三宫：乾清宫、交泰殿、坤宁宫之间。内廷两翼有养心殿、东六宫、西六宫、斋宫、敏庆宫。它们虽和前面三大殿一样(黄琉璃顶和青白石底座)，但内部结构东为茶几桌子，西为椅子文物。后三宫后有御花园和神武门，神武门为北门，东门名东华门，西门叫西华门，正门是午门。

好了，现在进入自由浏览时间，时间为三个小时，请注意下几点：

1.不大叫、不乱跑、不乱摸、不乱碰、不乱扔垃圾;

2.保持安静;

3.按时回现在的地点集合。

时间过得真快，转眼该说再见了。游客们，再见!希望您下次再来北京，再到故宫游玩!
