各位游客大家好，欢迎大家来到古镇三河。我是古镇三河的景点讲解员，很高兴见到大家。大家看，这就是我们古镇三河的导游图，三河因丰乐河、杭埠河、小南河贯穿其间而得名。今天，我们将沿着小南河欣赏三河美丽的风景。大家，请跟我来。
眼前这座桥叫做仙归桥，素有仙人归来之意，因为我们三河是历史文化重镇，在海外和全国各地工作的人很多，这座桥表达了家乡人对游子的思念之情。大家请看我左手边，那边有个亭子叫做天然亭又称半亭，因为它只有半个亭子的大小，故称半亭。挺胸化作千枝笔，弄影又成一地书这个亭子上面雕刻着三河的一首名谣十大舍不得。
一舍不得，三河街花花世界
二舍不得，大河水淘米洗菜
三舍不得，中和祥焦切玉带
四舍不得，凌宝泰雨前茶，水到茶开
五舍不得，吴恒隆香米干子，香到门外
六不舍得，石头大桥下，大鲫鱼摇摆鼓塞
七舍不得，小月更上拉拉拽拽
八舍不得，天然楼的油炸烧卖
九舍不得，吴宏兴家的大瓜子一嗑两开
十舍不得，新华春炒菜一喊就来
大家请跟我来，这里就是古西街的入口处了，古西街全长有500多米，有一百多年的历史了，曾经颇有名气的商家就有十多家，如天然楼、吴恒隆、凌宝泰、大德昌等等商家。大家看我们脚下是青石铺
就的道路，经过百年时间的打磨已变得十分光滑，呈现出中间高两边低的状态，像鱼的脊背。两边是青砖小瓦的民居和整齐划一的油漆门板。不知道大家有没有注意，这每户每家门口上方挂有一个灯笼，这灯笼的正方写的是这家男主人的姓氏，如卢，就代表这家人性卢。而灯笼的后面则是这家人的祠堂名或群名。大家感兴趣的可以找下自己的姓氏。大家看那些飞檐高翘的墙叫做风火墙，也叫马头墙。因其形似马头，也就是相当于我们今天的防火墙。这种墙体具有浓厚的皖中徽派建筑特色。古代的建筑一般都为木建筑，怕天火，而风火墙呢，就可以起到隔绝火势蔓延的作用。这种设计既美观又实用，体现了我们古代三河人民的智慧。其实，我们古镇三河有着悠悠2500多年的历史，关于三河最早的文字记载始见于左传，其中记载的公元前537年，吴楚之间的鹊岸之战即发生于此。三河地理位置独特，水运发达，古代就靠水运发家。曾有小南京、小上海的美誉。一度成为皖中商品走廊和稻米集散地。 那么现在我们前往第一个景点，刘同兴隆庄。刘代表姓刘的人开的庄子，中间的同兴隆是这个庄子的'商号，庄主叫刘锦堂，他家有五个兄弟，他与二哥刘锦臣就住在刘同兴隆庄。整座刘同兴隆庄分为五进八厢三十二间房屋。临街是一幢二层木楼，二进为走马转心楼，后三进都是平房，建筑面积约有700平方米。
那现在咱们进去详细了解下。刘同兴隆庄门边一副对联：柜上长添新货色，门头不改老招牌
现在我们位于刘同兴隆庄第一进，我右手边是刘记米铺，左手边是刘记布庄，刘同兴隆庄主要经营各种布匹和大米。大米的日运销量可达五百多吨，年收入数万银元。此外，还开有盐铺，瓷器店，当铺等，是古镇最有名气的商家之一。现在，我们进入第二进，第二进为走马转心楼，又称小姐楼，就是刘家女眷所居住的地方了。大家抬头看，这屋顶呢，是当时从国外进口的琉璃瓦做成的，主要是起采光的作用。这上方有一轮美人靠，是当时设计者根据夫人，小姐的身形所设计的。小姐和夫人就靠着美人靠欣赏着当时刘同兴隆庄生意往来繁荣热闹的景象。而这里的两个水缸主要起灭火作用。现在我们进入第三进，大家看我右手边，这就是刘记盐铺，在当时并不是所有人都可以卖盐的，如果是普通老百姓卖盐那可是犯法的。由于刘同兴隆庄的主人刘锦堂是三河商会会长，他有这个权利经营盐铺。我左手边是瓷器店，这里面主要汇集了三大名瓷，河南的钧瓷，江西景德镇的青花瓷，以及福建德化的白瓷。当然了这里面都是仿品。我们现在前往第四进，大家看我右边这位女子就是我们刘同兴隆庄的女主人，刘夫人了。她手上拿着是一条金锁，当时买家将价格砍的很低，她想买又不舍得卖左右为难的表情。我左手边是当铺，里面是朝风，也就是当铺掌柜的。上裕国富/富时取物/缓时赎，下济民急/急处当衣/困时典。这体现了人文经商理念。每两进房屋之间都留下天井，自成独特排水体系。同时，也寄寓着“肥水不流外人田”的经商理念。每进一进这门槛也越来越高了，寓意着步步高升的意思。现在我们来到最后一进，第五进，会所中堂。我右手边这位穿红衣的男子就是刘同兴隆庄的主人，
刘锦堂了。他当时正在和客人谈生意，而左边这位美女是他们家大丫鬟，小翠。她正准备茶果以招待客人。我们刘同兴隆庄都是以蜡像的形式向大家展示，那都是根据刘家后人的回忆制作成的，模拟出生意往来繁荣热闹的景象。这中间是半张桌子，过去只有拿出半张桌子摆在客厅以示客人男主人不在家，女主人是不待客的，男主人回来时，就会拿出另外半张桌子，合拼成一张桌子。数间草屋闲临水，一枕秋声夜听泉。这里的泉不是指泉水，而是屋后的护城河。由于这里正在修建，不便参观，我们沿路返回。
现在我们所通过的巷子叫做合众巷，又叫三人巷，意思是说一次性可通过三个正常体裁的人并排而行。这后面还有个一人巷，顾名思义，一次性只能通过一个人。到了一人巷，会向大家提醒的。前面就是三河人民的母亲河，小南河。说到这里我就不得不提一下，三河历史上一次特大洪水，在1991年，三河的一条河流丰乐河决堤，大水仅用23分钟的时间就将整个三河淹没了。在那边有个基督教堂，大水将教堂都淹没了，只剩下教堂上方一个红十字架，来三河采访的记者看到这样的画面就写了个特写，标题是上帝也就不了你们了，可想当时三河的惨状了。然而呢，在这次洪水中解放军官解救了被困在三河的6000余人，并无一人死亡，这在三河历史上算的上是个奇迹了。我们继续往前走，大家看前方道路中央有棵树，叫做双子树，这棵树和我们刚提到三河1991年特大洪水有关，让我们加快步伐，去探个究竟吧。这棵树叫做双子树，在91年发洪水的时候，有两个顽皮的孩子因没有及时撤离，爬上了这棵树而得救，三河人民为了感谢
这棵树，就为它取名双子树。大家继续往前走，大水之后，三河也得到了一定的救济，大家看左边的房子，是由香港大公报的读者捐赠的，叫做竹苑新村，这些房子并不是真正的徽派建筑，它融合了许多现代化因素，如钢筋混凝土，铝合金窗子等。
大家看前面那座漂亮的桥叫座对月桥，但是很遗憾我们不通过这座桥，(这是仿照扬州瘦西湖的五亭桥)，现在我们就顺着小南河欣赏这里的美景。历史上三河有着小南京、小上海的美誉，它为稻米集散地和皖中商品走廊。40年代时，全国战乱，为躲避战乱，各地做生意的人纷纷来此安家，人口急剧增长7、8万人，但是1949年，全国解放后，人口急剧减少，在这段时期里，三河流传了一首民谣，十大舍不得。这首名谣里反映了许多我们三河的特色。如三舍不得，中和祥的焦切玉带，焦切玉带在晚清时期曾是贡品。四舍不得，凌宝泰雨前茶，水倒茶开，当地人有一个风俗习惯，吃早茶。三河人不喜欢在家里吃早饭，而是去早餐店，来杯大碗茶，吃着三河米饺，三河米饺是三河的正宗特色早点。出了三河就吃不出那个味了。五舍不得吴恒隆的虾米干子香到门外，吴恒隆的虾米干子包装以及味道都是各种各样的，成为许多游客来到三河的首选。六舍不得石头大桥下大鲫鱼摇摆鼓塞，说的是三河的一道土菜，清蒸大鲫鱼，当地人喜欢在鱼的肚子里放点瘦肉，这样不仅有吃出鱼的鲜美，也有肉的邮香了。十舍不得，新华春的炒菜一喊就来，也就是三河的小炒了。三河地处合肥，黄山，九华山一线上，很多游客选择在三河中转，所以三河打出
On March 6, the weather is good, our whole family to travel to macau. Got up very early to shekou ferry terminal by boat to zhuhai, but not how to eat in the morning, sit to half I began to get seasick, headache belly uncomfortable, immediately landed finally unbearable to vomit, but mother help me to prepare the spare clothes.

The first attraction of our tour in Beijing is the Forbidden City.The first thing people would think of when talking about the Forbidden City is it the place where Chinese emperors used to live and hold their courts. .But the value of the Forbidden City is not limited to this.It is a microcosm of Chinese history, Chinese culture and Chinese architecture.The Forbidden City is located in center oBeijing. It was imperial palace of both Ming and Qing dynasties.With a history of over 600 years, it is the largest and most complete palace complex that still exists in the world. 24 emperors had rule the empir from here for more than 500 years. Forbidden City is also called Purple Forbidden City .In the feudal society ,emperors had supreme power , so this residence was certainly a forbidden place . Purple was the symbolic color of the North Star which was believed to be the center of the cosmos .So it got the name of Purple Forbidden City.
The building arrangement within the Forbidden City is symmetrical.And it is divided into two parts :the outer court and the inner court .The former is the place where emperors handled courts and held different ceremonies.It consists of Taihe ,Zhonghe and Baohe Halls.Taihe hall is the largest hall within the Forbidden City.It was the location where Ming Dynasty and Qing Dynasty Emperors hosted theirenthronement and wedding ceremonies .The inner court consists of Qianqing, Jiaotai and Kunming Halls where the emperor lived and handled day-to-day work.The lmperial Garden lies on north of the Kunming Hall. It looks like a natural picture.This is the place where the emperor and his family play.
Since the founding of new China, the Forbidden City has been well maintained.It was made part of the world cultural heritage list in 1987.Tody as the largest museum of cultural relics in China, it collected and displayed one million precious relics .
Now I want to ask you a question.How many houses are there in the Forbidden City? It was said that there were 10000 rooms in the complex of the Heaven Palace .As the son of the heaven , emperor had to build only 9999.5 rooms .Actually ,there are only 8707 rooms in the Forbidden City.
As The saying goes, seeing is believing.With curiosity, let's walk into the Forbidden City.Let's appreciate Chinese culture and feel the history of the rise and fall of the Chinese emperors.
Dear visitors,
It seems that everyone is very energetic. Today we are going to visit the Great Wall. Please be prepared. The Great Wall is the longest building in our country and the most famous building in our country. It has a length of over 13,000 miles. We often call it the Great Wall
First we came to the foot of the Great Wall, and you see that the Great Wall is so big and strong that it is made of huge stones and bricks. The top of the wall was paved with square bricks, very flat, like a wide road, and five or six horses in parallel.
Did you see a hole like a tooth, a small square, a fortress? Let me tell you what these three things are for? That hole like a tooth! It's called the eye opening, and I think you'll see why it's called a "guard".

Hello, everyone! Welcome to the former resident of Mao ZeDong”. Now, we are facing a simple and unsophisticated farmhouse .we call it Shangchangwu. And our great chairman Mao Zedong was born in this place on December 26th, 1893. Although it is a quite common farmhouse with U-shape construction in South China, it possesses beautiful views with limpid water and green mountains. Once, here lived two families, Mao’s family and their next door neighbor. And the thirteen and a half rooms on the left hand belong to Mao’s family.
Look up! There hangs a red tablet inscribed with golden characters “The former resident of Mao Zedong”. The inscription was written by Chairman Deng Xiaoping on April 2nd, 1983. Now, let’s enter into the central room. It’s a place for Mao’s family and their neighbors enjoying together to entertain guests. The old fashioned table and chairs here are settled as they were many years ago. Please look at this! It is called Shenkan, which is a family area of worship of God and ancestors. When chairman Mao as a child, he often helped his parents doing some housework in this place. And the big buckets here are the original items in those years.
Here we come to the kitchen. Please look at that cooking range. It is made from mud bricks according to the memory of the old people when recovering the exhibition. There is a big Brazier put in the middle of the room. The southern peasant families usually have a room to keep warm by firing wood in winter. And there is an iron hook hung above it. It is called “Lutanggou” and it was used to boll water and rice. It is really a lively atmosphere when the whole family gets together and sits around the brazier to warm themselves and chat together. In the spring of 1921. It’s around this brazier that Mao Zedong persuaded his relatives to join the revolution. After hearing his brother Mao Zenmin’s suffering in that troubled times, Mao Zedong said that: “yes, it is not happen on only us, but all of us in the whole country! We can’t live without fighting against the evil. So we should do some benefit things for our society in spite of the safety of ourselves.” Afterwards, by the guiding of Mao Zedong, all his families devoted themselves to the revolutionary career. And there are 6 families sacrificed in the war.
Now we come into the bedroom of Mao’s parents and Mao was born just in this room on December 26th, 1893. There are portraits of Mao’s parents on the wall. His father—Mao Shunsheng was born in October, 1870 and was a very simple and diligent farmer. But unfortunately he died from acute febrile in his fifty in 1920.we should say that it is the father’s industry and good housekeeping management that supported Mao Zedong out learning in his early years. This lady was Mao’s mother—Wenshi. She was born in1867 and was not only diligent but also intelligent. This farm woman was so warm-hearted that she was always helping other neighbors. The good moral character of the parents gave a deep impression upon the great man. When Mao Zedong watched the portrait of his mother in 1959, he signed: “I’m really looks like my mother.” And yes, this old wooden bed in front of us is also an original one. .
This is Mao’s bedroom. The portrait on the wall was the group photo of Mao’s mother, Mao’s two brothers and himself in spring 1919 in Changsha. That year, Mao worked in Changsha and his little brother also studied in the city. Because his elder brother sent their badly sick mother to see a doctor in the provincial capital, the families had the chance to leave the memory. Also in this year’s October, his mother died. And the cherish photo was carefully collected by Mao’s mother’s family. The bedroom is also the study of Mao Zedong. Look, this is the oil lamp accompanied by Mao reading in his childhood. In summer nights, there were many mosquitoes. So he put up a mosquito net and only left his head outside to read. And in winter, he often stayed up to read books with this oil lamp. Even when he dropped out of school in his 13 to 15, he still read as many books as he could get Your attention, please! Otherwise you’ll miss an attic in this room. And it is in this room that the ShaoShan Branch of the Chinese Communist Party was set up. Ok, follow me please. Here is the site where MaoZedong placed his farm tools. He began his work at the age of six. From the age 13 to 15, because of lack of physical labor, he dropped out of school to work on the farm. Therefore, he was a professional farmer for two years. The water wheels and graphite here are stuff used by MaoZedong. Ok, so much for today. Hopefully, you shall have pleasant and unforgettable memories of the resident.

Baima temple is located 12 kilometers east of the old city of Luoyang inHenan Province. It was founded in the 11th year of Yongping in the Eastern HanDynasty (AD 68). It is the first ancient temple in China and the world famousKalan temple. It is the first temple built after Buddhism was introduced intoChina. It is known as the "ancestral court" and "source of interpretation" ofChinese Buddhism. It has a history of more than 1900 years. The existing sitesand historic sites are preserved in yuan, Ming and Qing Dynasties. There are alarge number of Jiagan lacquered statues of the Yuan Dynasty, such as the thirdBuddha, the second general and the eighteen Arhats.
In 1961, Baima temple was announced as the first batch of national keycultural relics protection units by the State Council of the people's Republicof China. In 1983, it was designated by the State Council as the national keyTemple of Chinese Buddhism. In January 20__, Baima temple was named as the firstbatch of AAAA scenic spots by the National Tourism Administration.
In the seventh year of Yongping in the Eastern Han Dynasty (A.D. 64),Emperor Liu Zhuang (the son of Liu Xiu) spent the night in Nangong. He dreamedthat a golden man, six feet tall and shining on his head, would come from theWest and fly around the palace. The next morning, Emperor Hanming told theministers about the dream. Doctor Fu Yi said, "there is a God in the west, whichis called Buddha, just as you dream.". After hearing this, Emperor Han and Mingsent more than ten ministers, such as Cai Yin and Qin Jing, to the westernregions to worship Buddhist scriptures and Dharma.
In the eighth year of Yongping (AD 65), Cai, Qin and others bid farewell tothe imperial capital and embarked on the journey of "learning from the west". InDayue Kingdom (from Afghanistan to Central Asia today), I met Indian eminentmonks, such as shemoteng and zhufalan, and met Buddhist sutras and white feltstatues of Sakyamuni Buddha. I sincerely ask the two eminent monks to go east toChina to preach Buddhism.
In the tenth year of Yongping (AD 67), two Indian eminent monks wereinvited to carry Buddhist scriptures and statues on white horses together withenvoys of the Eastern Han Dynasty to Luoyang. Emperor Hanming was very happy tosee the Buddhist scriptures and statues. He was very polite to the two eminentmonks. He personally received them and arranged for them to stay in Honglutemple, the official office in charge of foreign affairs at that time.
In the 11th year of Yongping (A.D. 68), the emperor of Han and Ming orderedthe construction of monasteries in the north of Sanli imperial road outsideXiyong gate in Luoyang. In memory of Baima tuojing, it was named "Baima Temple".The word "Si" originated from the word "Si" of "Honglu Temple", and later "Si"became a general term of Chinese temples. This is the first Chinese translationof Buddhist scriptures in China.
After taking photos of moteng and zhufalan, many Western eminent monks cameto Baima temple to translate Buddhist scriptures. In more than 150 years after68 A.D., 192 Buddhist scriptures, 395 volumes in total, were translated here.Baima temple has become the first Buddhist Scripture Translation Center inChina.
In the second year of Caowei Jiaping (A.D. 250), Tan kejialuo, an Indianmonk, came to Baima temple. At this time, Buddhism also entered the public fromthe deep palace. Later, tankojaro translated the first Buddhist commandment inChinese in Baima temple. At the same time, Tan Di, a monk of the Sabbath state,also translated Tan Wu De Jie Mo in Baima temple, which regulated theorganization and life of the monks. So far, the commandments and theconstitution of the monks' group have been completed, and a path of monasticpractice has been paved, which is the beginning of the commandments inChina.
In the fifth year of Ganlu (260 A.D.), a commandment ceremony was held inBaima temple, which is destined to be deeply engraved in the history of ChineseBuddhism. On this day, Zhu Shixing ascended the altar of abstinence inaccordance with the law of karma, knelt down in front of the Buddha, and becamethe first monk who formally received the bhikkhu commandment in Han China. Sincethen, the ancient Confucian tradition of "body hair skin, parents, dare notdamage" has been broken.
During the first 200 years of Buddhism's taking root and spreading inChina, the whole process is closely related to Baima temple. This is the productof China's first search for Dharma from the West. It is the residence of thefirst monks who came to China to preach and spread Dharma. The first ChineseBuddhist Scripture and Chinese Commandments were born here, and the firstChinese Buddhist monk was born In a word, Baima temple is closely linked withmany "firsts" of Chinese Buddhism, which makes it the real ancestor and sourceof Chinese Buddhism.
Mawangdui is located in the eastern outskirts of changsha, about 4km from downtown changsha,in the preceeding centuries, it was bured here, hence the name "mawangdui"formerly there were two eastern mounds here closely.

Ladies and Gentlemen: Welcome to the Summer Palace. (After theself-introduction of the guide -interpreter) I hope this will be an interestingand enjoyable day for you .
During our tour, you will be introduced to time honored historical andcultural traditions, as well as picturesque views and landscapes.
The construction of the Summer Palace first started in 1750. At that time,the Qing Dynasty was in its heyday and China was a powerful Asian country withvast territories. The monarch in power then was Emperor Qianlong. With supremepower and large sums of money, he summoned skillful and ingenious artisans fromall over the country to carry out this construction work in honor of his mother`s birthday. After 15 years and one seventh of the nation` s annual revenuespent, the Garden of Clear Ripples was completed and served as a testimony toChina` s scientific and technological achievements. In 1860, this vast royalgarden was burnt down along with the Yuanming Yuan (Garden of Perfection andBrightness) by Angol-French allied forces. In 1888, Empress Dowager Cixireconstructed the garden on the same site and renamed it the Garden of NurturedHarmony (Summer Palace). Characterized by its vast scope and rich culturalembodiments, the Summer Palace has become one of the most famous tourist sitesin the world.
This is the main entrance to the Summer Palace-the East Gate On top of theeaves of the door there is a plaque bearing a Chinese inscription which means“Garden of Nurtured Harmony” , whose calligrapher was Emperor Guangxu. The gatethat you are now entering was used exclusively by the emperor, the empress andthe queer mother. All others used the side doors.
(Inside the East Gate)
the Summer Palace can be divided into two parts: Longevity Hill and KunmingLake .The whole garden covers an area of 290 hectares, of whih three- fourthsconsists of a lake and rivers .This imperial garden features 3,000 room-unitsand covers an expanse of 70,000 square meters with more than 100 picturesquespots of interest. The layout of the Summer Palace includes three groups ofarchitectures: palaces where the emperor attended to state affairs, restingpalaces of the emperor and empress, and sightseeing areas. Entering the EastGate we will come the the office quarters. Entering the East gate we will cometo the office quarters. The annex halls on both sides were used for officials onduty.

Respectable tourist friends：
Everybody， all the way！

Now our car has been on Lian Huo highway。 Always westward， through the street， Gongyi， Yanshi， about 2 hours to Luoyang city Mengjin County under the high speed to our tourist destination today — Luoyang the Yellow River Xiaolangdi Dam scenic area。
Speaking， we have entered Gongyi。 When it comes to Gongyi， we have to mention the mausoleum here。 Do you feel very puzzled about what to do with the tomb？ Because， there are 9 emperors in the famous Northern Song Dynasty， in addition to Song Huizong and Zhao Ji， the rest of the 8 emperors were buried in Gongyi， with the mausoleum of the father of the emperor Zhao Kuangyin and the crown Tomb of Song Huizong， which formed the "eight emperor's Mausoleum"。 In addition， there are more than 20 empress mausoleum， 9 famous mausoleum， royal mausoleum， Princess Royal family and other royal mausoleum， and a large group of mausoleum in Gongyi has become a major tourist feature in Gongyi。 The famous ministers Kou Zhun， Bao Qingtian， Bao Zheng， Yan Jia Liu Lang and Yang Yanzhao， who are well known， all sleep here。
Next， I would like to give you a brief introduction to our destination today， the ancient capital of Luoyang。 Luoyang is a famous historic city in China。 It is also one of the eight famous ancient capitals in China。 It is like a bright pearl shining in the east of the world。 The Yellow River is the cradle of the Chinese nation， and Luoyang is the center of this cradle。 From Shang and Tang Dynasties to the Sui and Tang Dynasties， Luoyang was the Oriental starting point of the world's Silk Road， and had a wide exchange of political， economic and cultural aspects with Europe， North Africa and Asian countries。 The emergence and development of Chinese traditional culture， Confucianism， Buddhism and Taoism are closely related to Luoyang。 China's four great inventions are linked to Luoyang's interest。 "The eight diagrams of Zhouyi" is here。 Lao Tzu is here in the book of morality， and Zuosi's "three Du Fu" has made "Lu Yang paper expensive"， Xu Shen as "Shuo Wen Jie Zi"， Cai Lun improved paper making， Zhang Heng invented the seismograph， the Northern Wei Dynasty filial piety emperor's Sinicization reform， Suiti CHICING the Grande Canale， Sima Guang amending "Zi Zhi Tong Jian" and so on。 Luoyang is easy to defend and difficult to attack because of its residence in the world。 Therefore， in the long history of China's thousands of years， many dynasties built their capital here。 Luoyang is known as "the ancient capital of the nine dynasties" and is famous both at home and abroad。 The so—called "nine dynasties" has two meanings： one refers to numerous dynasties。 This kind of statement is not exact。 In ancient China， the Yin and yang theory is singular， and the "Nine" is the highest。 Two refers to the nine dynasties。 This is not a historical fact。 How many emperors built Luoyang？ According to historical facts and expert archaeological discoveries， it is believed that thirteen dynasties established capital in Luoyang。 From the first dynasty of China — the Xia Dynasty， Luoyang has been taken as a country for one thousand and five hundred or six hundred years。 It is the earliest， longest and most ancient capital in the capital of China。
Luoyang's rich history and culture has contributed to the development of the Chinese nation， and left behind endless ideological wealth and legacy sites for the people。 Henan's first Luoyang Longmen Grottoes， listed as the world heritage site， is one of the three largest stone carvings treasure house in China， and in 20__ it was the first 5A scenic spot of the National Tourism Bureau。 The Baima temple is the first temple built after Buddhism was introduced into China。 It is known as "the source" and "the ancestor court"， and the northern Mang Mountain has the most imperial mausoleum since the Eastern Zhou Dynasty。 The large ancient tombs have unearthed more than 40 valuable artifacts and built the first underground museum of ancient tombs in China。 The the Yellow River Xiaolangdi Dam scenic area， which we are going to visit today， is a large mountain lake scenic area with the main features of the middle and lower reaches of the Yellow River water conservancy project and the canyon River in Henan Province， which embodies the historical and cultural and natural scenery of the Yellow River。 It is the best place to carry out sightseeing， leisure and holiday tourism。 It is not only the history of China's Yellow River control。 The monument is also the most challenging masterpiece in the history of hydraulic engineering in the world。
All right， friends， the parking lot of the Xiaolangdi Dam scenic spot in the Yellow River is here。 Please close the window and bring your valuables with me。 Our tour time in the Xiaolangdi Dam scenic area in the Yellow River is 2。5 hours。 Please remember that our license plate number is Yu A， and we hope that after 2。5 hours， you will be on time in the car and don't be late。
Thank you
huaqing pool is situated about 35 kilometres east of the city of xi’an. historically, the western zhou dynasty saw the construction of the li palace on the spot. in the qin dynasty a pool was built with stones, and was given the name lishan tang (the lishan hot spring). the site was extended into a palace in the han dynasty, and renamed the li palace (the resort palace). in the tang dynasty, li shimin (emperor tai zong) ordered to construct the hot spring palace, and emperor xuan zong had a walled palace built around lishan mountain in the year of 747. it was known as the huaqing palace. it also had the name huaqing pool on account of its location on the hot springs.
huaqing pool is located at the foot of the lishan mountain, a branch range of the qinling ranges, and stands 1,256 metres high. it is covered with pines and cypresses, looking very much like a like a dark green galloping horse from a long distance. so it has the name of the lishan mountain (li means a black horse).
the tang dynasty emperor xuan zong and his favourite lady, yang gui fei used to make their home at frost drifting hall in winter days. when winter came, snowflakes were floating in the air, and everything in sight was white. however, they came into thaw immediately in front of the hall. it owed a great deal to the luke warm vapour rising out of the hot spring. this is the frost drifting hall that greets us today.

ladies and gentlemen:
welcome to the temple of heaven. (after self-introduction) preserved cultural heritages of china. there are basically two kinds of visitors who come here: local pensioners who do exercises here in the morning and evening and sightseers both from home and abroad. all in all ，there are 12 million visitors very year. now we are going to go along the route that leads to the alter. it will take roughly one hour. mind you ，the emperor also walked along this route to pay tribute to the god of heaven.
the largest group of architectures ever to be dedicated to heaven ，the temple of heaven served as an exclusive altar for chinese monarchs during the ming and qing dynasties. it was decreed that rulers of successive dynasties would place altars in their own capitals to worship heaven and pray for good harvest. but why ?
the ancient chinese believed that heaven was the supreme ruler of the universe and the fate of mankind，and thus worshiping rites dedicated to heaven came into being.
the heaven the ancient chinese referred to was actually the universe， or nature. in those days， there were specfic rites of worship. this was especially true during the ming and qing dynasties when elaborate ceremonies were held.
the temple of heaven was built in 1420 during the reign of emperor youngle of the ming dynasty. situated in the southern part of the city ，this grand set of structures covers an area of 273 hectares. to better symbolize heaven and earth ，the northern part of the temple is circular while the southern part is square .the whole compound is enclosed by two walls， a square wall outside a round one. the outer area is characterized by suburban scenery， while the inner part is used for sacrifices. the inner enclosure consists of the hall of prayer for good harvest and the circular mound altar.
the circular mound altar is enclosed by two walls ，each containing four groups of southern lattice star gate， each in turn consisting of three doors， with 24 marble doors altogether. standing on the passage facing north， you will notice that with each pair of doors on is narrower than the other. this reflects the feudal hierarchy: the wider door was reserved for monarchs， while the narrower one was used by courtiers.
on the day of the ceremony ，the emperor would don his ritual costume and be ushered in by the official in charge of religious affairs. he ascended the three terraces in the forefront to pay tribute at the alter.
we are now on the top terrace of the altar， or the third terrace .each terrace has a flight of 9 steps. at the center of this terrace lies a round stone surrounded by 9 steps. at the center of this terrace lies a round stone surrounded by 9 concentric rings of stone. the number of stones in the first ring is 9， in the second ，18， up to 81 in the 9th ring. even the number of carved balustrades on these terraces is a multiplee of 9. but why?
according to ancient chinese philosophy， yin and yang were two opposing factors. heaven and the odd numbers belonged to yang while the earth and even numbers belonged to yin. nine was the largest heavenly number accessible to man . what is more， the ancient people also believed that heaven consisted of nine layers and that the emperor` s abode was on the uppermost tier.
once more look at the round stone in the center. the upper terrace is nine zhang (a chinese unit of length， one zhang equals 3.3 meters ) in circumference ，while the middle is 15 zhang， the lower，21 zhang. classified as yang numbers， the sum of these numerals is 45 zhang which was meant to symbolized success. what is more， by applying the concept of odd numbers and strengthening nine and its multiples， the concept of heaven was thus illustrated and realized . the concept of nine will also be mentioned when we visit some other buildings.
now i will give you a brief account of what happened here annually on the inter solstice. the memorial tablet dedicated to heaven would be set up on the north side of the terrace， while tablets dedicated to the emperor `s ancestors would be enshrined on the flanks. the service would begin around 4 o` clock in the morning. all of the lanterns would be lit .in the foreground， a sacrificial calf is being barbecued. on the square in front of the altar， the emperor， under heavy escort of nearly a thousand courtiers， princes of royal blood ，musicians， dancers and uniformed soldiers， would slowly ascend the altar to offer sacrifice and pray in honor of heaven. when the service drew to a close ，the sacrifice offered in front of the memorial tablets would be incinerated .all of participants would watch the thick smoke rise upward as if they were seeing god off .music and dancing would follow .in the end ，the emperor would return to the forbidden city secure in the belief that he would be blessed and protected by heaven until the next winter solstice.
it is interesting to note that ，the stone in the very middle of the altar was of major importance ，since it was where the emperor used to stand to say his prayer. the stone ，which is known as the god`s heart stone， is peculiar in that it is characterized by a specific acoustic phenomenon: it made the emperor` s voice clearer and louder， thus adding to the mystic atmosphere of the service .you can try this out by yourself. (proceed northward to pass through the lattice stargate)
this structure is known as heaven` s storehouse. it is entered through the gate of glazed tiles. the roofing，beams， and brackets are all made of glazed tiles or bricks. this is the only structure of its kind in china today .
the heaven` s storehouse was where memorial tablets dedicated to the gods were kept. douglas hurd， a former british foreigh secretary ，once said ， “god attends to his affairs on the cir4cular mound altar but stays here. ” now let` s go in to to see it (go through the left side door)
(in the courtyard of heaven` s storehouse)this is the imperial vault of heaven， the main structure of heaven` s storehouse. it was built in 1530 and is 17 meters in height and 19 meters in diameter. the structure feature blue roofs topped by a gilded ball ，and carved wooden doors and windows. it is decorated with colored paintings. founded on a 3-meter-hign round marble terrace ，the building also features a gigantic carved marble ramp laid in the stone staircase leading up to the front entrance.. the ramp is carved in “two dragons playing with a pearl ” design in relief. we will enter the main hall by going up the stone staircase on the eastern side.
the arch of the hall is buttressed by 16 giant pillars on two rings. on top of the pillars there are gilt brackets supporting a circular caisson ，or covered ceiling .the ceiling is characterized by a golden coiling dragon design. the 8 pillar of the inner ring are painted scarlet and decorated with golden lotuses.
to the north of the hall there is a marble pedestal. atop it ，up a wooden flight of 9 steps， is where the major tablet dedicate to heaven was enshrined. on each flank four tablets are enshrined in honor of the ancestors of the qing emperors. in the annex hall in hornor of the ancestors of the qing emperors. in the annex halls in the courtyard， there are tablets dedicated to the deities of the sun， moon ，constellation， cloud ，rain， wind and thunder.
aside from exquisitely laid out architectures， heaven` s storehouse is also famous for two structures with peculiar acoustic features， i. e. the echo wall and the triple- sound stone. a mere whisper at any point close to the wall can be heard clearly on the other side， although the parties may be 40 or 50 meters apart. this is possible because the wall is round and hermetically constructed with smooth ，solid bricks.
in front of the steps leading away from the halls is the triple sound stone. if you stand on the first stone and call out or clap your hands， the sound will echo once; on the second stone， the sound will be heard twice; and on the third stone， the sound will repeat three times. hence the name. (go out through the right door and stroll along the circular path nor thward)
the temple of heaven is also famous for its cypress trees-there are more than 60，000 cypress trees in all，among which over 4，000 are more than one hundred years old ，adding to the solemn atmosphere of the temple .this tall cypress was planted more than 500 years ago. its thick branches and twisting trunk resembling nine coiling playful dragons; thus it is known as the nine-dragon cypress. it is said that this tree was here to welcome the monarchs. now it is here to welcome visitor from all over the world.
Now we are back again on the central axis. this brick-arched gate is known as chengzhen (adopting fidelity) .this gate is the northern gate of the circular mound altar and the hall of prayer for good harvest. the hall of prayer for good harvest is situated at the extreme end of the axis. it was used by the emperor in the first month of every lunar year for services dedicated to good harvest.
entering the hall of prayer for good harvest， we set foot on a raised passage 360 meters long， which the emperor also took to proceed to the hall. this broad north-south walkway， called danbiqiao (red stairway bridge)， connects the two sets of main building in the temple of heaven and constitutes a single axis.
the passage is divided into left， control and right paths by the cross arrangement of slabs. the central and the widest path is known as heavenly thoroughfare ， which was reserved exclusively for god; nobody， including the emperor， was allowed to set foot onto it . the emperor used the path on the east，which is known as the imperial walk. the ministers and princes used the one on the west .interesting enough ，there is no walkway left for ordinary people. this is because the temple of heaven used to be off-limits to them.
contrary to appearances， this walkway is not a bridge at all . but how so ? this road is 4 meters above the ground and there is a cavern underneath that was reserved for sacrificial oxen and sheep. the cattle were slaughtered at a slaughterhouse about 500 meters away and brought here for sacrifice. all in all ，it can be said this walkway did serve as bridge and can be looked upon as the first cloverleaf in beijing.
looking back at the thoroughfare， you may realize that this walk is gaining height toward its northern end. as people approach the architectural group of the hall of prayer for good harvest， the flanking groves of cypress recede and perspective widens. here you are in heaven.
the marble terrace up ahead is called jufutai， or costumechanging terrace. it is located to the east of the red stairway bridge and covers a space of 25 square meters .it has marble slab balustrades. the day before the service ，officials in charge would put up a yellow satin tent on the terrace for the emperor to change out of his yellow dragon robe into blue ceremonial clothes. after the service，the emperor would return to the tentand change back into his imperial robe before returning to the palace. (proceed to the south gate of the hall of prayer for good harvest)
this structure is called the gate of pray for good harvest. we can catch a slight glimpse of the central building ，the hall of prayer for good harvest， though the colonnade of the gate. a gigantic and lofty group of buildings， the complex includes the gate of prayer for good harvest， the hall of prayer for good harvest， eastern and western annex halls ，the huanqian (imperial heaven) long corridor， heaven kitchen， slaughterhouse， etc.
the annex halls were symmetrically built on a 1.5-meter-hignbrick-and-marble terrace ，to set off the loftiness and magnificence of the main hall .this unique building ，38 meters in height， is characterized by a cone-shaped structure with triple eaves and a top that is crowned by a gilt ball. the roofing is made of blue glazed tiles， the color of the sky .underneath the roof， the beams and bracket are decorated with colored paintings. the base of the structure is a triple-tiered， circular marble terrace. at a distance， the terrace looks like a gigantic， spiraling cloud with the structure perched on top of it .
today the hall of prayer for good harvest is the hallmark of beijing， which enjoys a prolonged history of civilization.
the base of the hall is a triple-tiered， circular marble terrace， which is 90 meters in diameter and 6 meters in height ，covering a space of 4，000 square meters. meticulous accuracy was given to the layout of the structure. in the middle of each three-tiered flight of stairs， there is a giant marble ramp carved in cloud， dragon and phoenix designs. to set off the ramps， the top of the balustrades and downpipes are designed with corresponding floral scrolls. in southern part of each tier， a gigantic bronze incense burner is placed. sandalwood was burnt in them when rites were observed.
(in front of the hall of prayer for good harvest) climbing up this marble terrace， we see the main hall，a masterpiece of ancient china. looking up you will see the caisson， or covered ceiling， characterized by complex designs of dragons and phoenixes. in and out ， the hall is decorated with colored drawing of dragons and phoenixes.
without the use of steel ，cement and nail， and even without the use of big beams and crossbeams，the entire structure is supported by 28 massive wooden pillars and number of bars， laths， joints and rafters. the four central pillars， called the dragon-well pillars， are 19.2 meters high and painted with designs of composite followers， representing the four season. there are two rings of 12 scarlet pillars each. the inner ring represents the 12 months and the outer rings the 12 divisions of the day and night .between the two rings there are 24 partitioned spaces to mark the solar terms of the chinese lunar year. the pillars， 28 in number， also represent the 28 constellations in the universe- the ancient chinese believed that there were 28 constellations that made up the sky.
the center of the stone-paved floor is a round marble slab， which is 88.5 centimeters in diameter. interestingly， the slab features natural black and white veins， corresponding to the dragon-phoenix design on the ceiling. this particular slab is known as the dragon-phoenix stone and is regarded as a treasure inseparable from the hall.
the furnishings within the hall are placed in their original positions dating back to when emperor xianfeng ruled .in the forefront and above the throne are enshrined tablets in commemoration of heaven. on either table on each side tablets of the emperor` s ancestors were placed. each tablet is fronted by an altar. a total of 24 kinds of offering were made on it ，including soup， wine， assorted cereals， and a calf.
the sacrificial rites were observed in the wee hours of the morning， sometime in the first month of the chinese lunar year. because it was still dark， candles， lanterns and torches were lit. this lighting coupled with the incense being burnt inside the hall ，helped make the ceremony both grand and mystical.
by the time the service began，207 musicians and dancers would be performing on platforms outside the hall. the emperor， in his blue sacrificial robe and with an air of piety and sincerity， would walk slowly into the hall， kowtow， and offer wine and prayer in hornor of the deities and his ancestors. all of the offerings would then be taken to incinerators on the eastern side of the gate of prayer for good harvest. with this we conclude our visit to the temper of heaven. the feudal monarchs and their sacrificial rites have long vanished in history .however， this group of magnificent and lofty structures remain as a fine testament of the ancient chinese` s ingenuity and as one of the cultural heritages of mankind.
from the eastern gate of the hall of prayer for good harvest， we have now enter a 300-meter-long corridor. consisting of 72 sections， this corridor served as a connecting building between the slaughterhouse. heaven kitchen， and the main hall ，it is said that this once served as a sacrificial food production line. flanking the corridor are shopping stalls. you may find some souvenirs for your family and friend there.
well ，that is all for this tour. thank you for your attention. i look forward to your next visit. good luck and bon voyage.
迎着清晨一缕灿烂的阳光，沐浴着秋风。今天我们的旅程要在这美丽的秋色中拉开序幕。各位游客朋友们，大家好，欢迎大家参加安徽旅行社三河古镇之旅。我代表旅行社对大家的到来致以最诚挚的欢迎。我姓王，大家叫我王导或小王都可以。希望有我的陪伴，能让大家留下美好的回忆。
好了，马上就要到我们今天此行的目的地了，三河古镇。
三河距今已有2500多年的历史，自古百货交通，商贾云集，甚是繁荣。曾于1949年设市，当时人口5.6万，被誉为皖中商品走廊，是典型的中国水乡古镇。它坐落在巢湖岸畔，地处合肥，六安，三市交界处，位于安徽省城合肥至黄山，九华山的旅游黄金线上，距合肥35公里。因环镇而抱的丰乐河，杭埠河，与贯穿全镇的小南河合而为一而得名。镇内五里长街，青石板路光滑清澈；镇外，河湖环绕，一派“春秋”古镇，“皖中水乡”的美丽风光，形成了“外环两岸、中峙三洲”的独特地貌。是全国文明村镇，中国历史文化名镇，安徽省最佳旅游乡镇，安徽省环境优美镇，合肥市“新十景之一”。
大家抬头看，这就是三河古镇的标志性建筑，大捷门。大捷门位于三河镇英王路上，为4道边门牌坊。经名工巧匠精雕细作而成，是进入古镇风景区的大门。1858年太平军全歼湘军悍将李续宾精锐部队6000余人。取得举世闻名的三河大捷。大捷门因此而建成，纪念这场军事史上以少胜多的战役。
好了，现在我们来到了鹊渚廊桥。它位于小南河的外河上，因三河古称鹊渚而得名，距今已有1500多年历史，是三河最古老的桥。1982年重建，廊桥上有12根立柱撑起的两层飞檐翘角式的长亭，桥两边建有美人靠，供游人在桥上观景。外国人称廊桥为情人桥，有情人若从这桥上走过，爱情定会地久天长。
大家再看前面那座古桥，就是望月桥。望月桥为拱形踏步石桥，全桥用厚青条石铺成，栏杆是青石浮雕栏杆。站在桥上望月，可以看见三个月亮，一个月亮在天，一个月亮在水中，还有一个月亮在我们的心上。望月桥又称圆梦桥，据说，每到十五月圆之时。只要到这桥上望月许愿。你的愿望就一定可以实现。
现在我们去今天的最后一个景点，万年禅寺。
万年禅寺始建于宋太祖时期，即公元960年，佛历1504年。因为啊，宋太祖和宋太宗幼年随父亲逃难到这里，才能够避过劫难，成就了万世帝业。就觉得当年的逃难险象环生，化险为夷必有佛祖保佑，所以下旨在三河建造佛庙，供奉香火，祈愿万年基业，感化黎民百姓。亲题为万年禅寺。
可是千百年来屡屡被毁，与二龙街，黄水井一起见证着沧桑岁月，战火纷飞。 现在国运昌隆，社会和谐，万年禅寺才能复建。
万年禅寺隶属于大九华山天台下院，与三合众多的旅游景点相映成辉，相得益彰，成为善男信女朝拜的圣地，游客观光的佳境。
万年禅寺复建项目系大九华山天台下院住持宏学大师承建，占地面积30亩，分为大雄宝殿，地藏殿，藏经阁，庙前广场等。
好了各位游客们，上午的游览项目到此告一段落，大家可以去品尝三河的著名小吃美食，补充体力。也可以在古镇内随意游览，感受三河古镇的民俗和水乡温婉的美丽，下午两点之前在此集合，继续参观杨振宁故居和桃花岛，请大家注意安全，谢谢大家。

Hello, everyone! Welcome to the former resident of Mao ZeDong”. Now, we are facing a simple and unsophticated farmhouse .we call it Shangchangwu. And our great chairman Mao Zedong was born in th place on December 26th, 1893. Although it a quite common farmhouse with U-shape construction in South China, it possesses beautiful views with limpid water and green mountains. Once, here lived two families, Mao’s family and their next door neighbor. And the thirteen and a half rooms on the left hand belong to Mao’s family.
Look up! There hangs a red tablet inscribed with golden characters “The former resident of Mao Zedong”. The inscription was written by Chairman Deng Xiaoping on April 2nd, 1983. Now, let’s enter into the central room. It’s a place for Mao’s family and their neighbors enjoying together to entertain guests. The old fashioned table and chairs here are settled as they were many years ago. Please look at th! It called Shenkan, which a family area of worship of God and ancestors. When chairman Mao as a child, he often helped h parents doing some housework in th place. And the big buckets here are the original items in those years.
Here we come to the kitchen. Please look at that cooking range. It made from mud bricks according to the memory of the old people when recovering the exhibition. There a big Brazier put in the middle of the room. The southern peasant families usually have a room to keep warm by firing wood in winter. And there an iron hook hung above it. It called “Lutanggou” and it was used to boll water and rice. It really a lively atmosphere when the whole family gets together and sits around the brazier to warm themselves and chat together. In the spring of 1921. It’s around th brazier that Mao Zedong persuaded h relatives to join the revolution. After hearing h brother Mao Zenmin’s suffering in that troubled times, Mao Zedong said that: “yes, it not happen on only us, but all of us in the whole country! We can’t live without fighting against the evil. So we should do some benefit things for our society in spite of the safety of ourselves.” Afterwards, by the guiding of Mao Zedong, all h families devoted themselves to the revolutionary career. And there are 6 families sacrificed in the war.
Now we come into the bedroom of Mao’s parents and Mao was born just in th room on December 26th, 1893. There are portraits of Mao’s parents on the wall. H father—Mao Shunsheng was born in October, 1870 and was a very simple and diligent farmer. But unfortunately he died from acute febrile in h fifty in 1920.we should say that it the father’s industry and good housekeeping management that supported Mao Zedong out learning in h early years. Th lady was Mao’s mother—Wenshi. She was born in1867 and was not only diligent but also intelligent. Th farm woman was so warm-hearted that she was always helping other neighbors. The good moral character of the parents gave a deep impression upon the great man. When Mao Zedong watched the portrait of h mother in 1959, he signed: “I’m really looks like my mother.” And yes, th old wooden bed in front of us also an original one. .
Th Mao’s bedroom. The portrait on the wall was the group photo of Mao’s mother, Mao’s two brothers and himself in spring 1919 in Changsha. That year, Mao worked in Changsha and h little brother also studied in the city. Because h elder brother sent their badly sick mother to see a doctor in the provincial capital, the families had the chance to leave the memory. Also in th year’s October, h mother died. And the cherh photo was carefully collected by Mao’s mother’s family. The bedroom also the study of Mao Zedong. Look, th the oil lamp accompanied by Mao reading in h childhood. In summer nights, there were many mosquitoes. So he put up a mosquito net and only left h head outside to read. And in winter, he often stayed up to read books with th oil lamp. Even when he dropped out of school in h 13 to 15, he still read as many books as he could get Your attention, please! Otherwe you’ll ms an attic in th room. And it in th room that the ShaoShan Branch of the Chinese Communt Party was set up. Ok, follow me please. Here the site where MaoZedong placed h farm tools. He began h work at the age of six. From the age 13 to 15, because of lack of physical labor, he dropped out of school to work on the farm. Therefore, he was a professional farmer for two years. The water wheels and graphite here are stuff used by MaoZedong. Ok, so much for today. Hopefully, you shall have pleasant and unforgettable memories of the resident.

The ShaoLin Temple The shaolin temple was first completed in 495, during the reign of Northern Wei Dynasty. In 527, Bodhidharma, the disciple of Sakyamuni of the 28th generation came here to practice Zen creed. As it was concealed in the thick woods of the shaoshi hill, it was given the name Shaolin Temple meaning “temple in the woods of Shaoshi Hill”. As you know, the shaolin temple is widely known not only for its ancient and mysterious Buddhist culture, but also for its martial arts, that is Kungfu in Chinese, which enjoys a tradition of some 20__ years. So that’s the saying “Chinese Kungfu taking the first place under the heaven” and “the best kungfu originating from shaolin temple.” In the year 20__, the temple sightseeing zone was designated to be one of the AAAAA—grade tourist attractions of China by the National Tourism Administration
Now we’re standing in front of the Front Gate Hall. Please look up at the plaque hanging above the lintel, and you’ll find the plaque bears three Chinese characters, Shaolin Si, the name of the temple. This is said to be handwritten by Emperor Kangxi of the Qing Dynasty. This work is very precious because the emperor r wrote. Ok please follow me. Just now, we have visited the Front Gate Hall, steles, ginkgos, and the Hall of the Heavenly Kings, and now, we are just in the principal hall in the temple, the Hall of Mahavira. This hall is enshrined with three main Buddhas in the central part. They are Sakyamuni Buddha sitting in the middle and Pharmacist Buddha of the Eastern Glazed World and Amitabha Buddha from the Western Paradise sitting on both sides. Along the gable walls, sit 18 Buddhist Arhats, who were enlightened Buddhist monks. On both sides in front of the Hall of Mahavira, stand the Bell Tower and the Drum Tower symmetrically. They were rebuilt in 1994 used to report hours for the temple. Normally the bell is used in the morning, while the drum, in the afternoon, hence the saying “morning bell and afternoon drum”.
In front of the Bell Tower is the stele called “the Stele of Li Shimin” telling the story about how the monks from the Shaolin Temple rescued Prince Li Shimin from being pursued and attacked by Wang Shichong during the late Sui Dynasty. Li Shimin, who later became the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty wrote the inscriptions on the stele personally,and left with a signature of Shi min on the stele. Ok please come with me, we are going to the next hall. So now, the pavilion in front of us, not like the Zangjingge and the Abbot’s rooms we visited just now, enjoys a moving story. It’s named Dharma’s Pavilion or Lixue Pavilion, that is “Standing in the snow” in English. It says： After Boddhi Dharma came to China, many Chinese Buddhist believers wanted to be his followers, and Shengguang was the most prominent of all of them. Healways followed him whenever and wherever he went and served Dharma with heart and soul. But Dharma didn’t agree to accept Shengguang as a disciple. Shengguang didn’t lose heart and became even more steadfast. On a snowy night, he begged as usual with Budhidharma outside, standing in the knee—high snow. The master set forward a prerequisite： he would not meet his demand unless it would snow in red flakes. Suddenly Shengguang drew out the sword and cut off his left arm and stained the snowy ground. Bodhidharma was so moved that he passed his mantle, alms bowl and musical instruments on to Shengguang and gave him a Buddhist name of Huike. He was regarded as the second founder of the Zen sect. Emperor Qianlong wrote a phrase on a plaque in commemoration Alright everyone, now we are in the last hall, Pilu Hall, also called a Thousand Buddha Hall. It’s also the largest structure of the Shaolin Temple. This is just the highlight of the sightseeing zone. So until now, the visit in the Shaolin Temple is almost over. I think you may have some questions about the temple, or you want to take some photos. So, please do remember, you have half an hour. After half an hour we will gather in our bus, and make sure you’ll be there on time. And then we are going to the Pagoda Forest. Thank you for your attention！
The longmen grottoes Around 13 km south of Luoyang, there are two picturesque hills confronting each other with the Yi River flowing northward between them, connected by an arched stone bridge resembling a natural gate tower. This is the right place named Longmen, where the well—known Longmen Grottoes is located. The grottoes, which earns the fame of one of the Three Treasure Houses of Stone Sculpture in China, was created over 1500 years age. It was first known in the year 493 AD, when Emperor Xiaowen moved his capital to Luoyang from Datong, Shannxi Province, which marked the initiation of development and expanse of Buddhism in Central China. It prolongs for 1000 meters from north to south. According to the statistics conducted in recent years, there are 2300 caves and niches with over 100000 Buddhist figures. In addition, more than 2800 tablet inscriptions and some 40 Buddhist pagodas were preserved in or out of the caves.
Now, we’ve got to the grottoes. In front of you, here is the Qianxi Temple. It was built in the early Tang Dynasty around 640 AD. It has altogether 7 Buddhist statues inside, of which, AmitabhaBuddha is sitting in the central part with 2 of his favorite disciples, 2 Bodhisattvas, and 2 Heavenly Kings. Please come with me. Now we are in front of the Bin yang Caves. The Bin yang Caves consist of 3 large caves, the North, the Middle and the South caves. The Mid and the South caves were built under Emperor Xuanwu for practicing the merits and virtues for his diseased parents, late Emperor Xiaowen and late Empress DowagerWenzhao. While the North Bin yang cave was added for the late Emperor Xuanwu by a eunuch in the palace. In the Western Hill of Longmen, there are several “the most” caves to feast your eyes. Just now, we visited the Ten—thousand Buddha Cave with 15000 Buddhist images, which has the most Buddha images, and the Lotus Cave with 2cm—high Buddha images, which are the tiniest Buddha images. And now, we’ve come to another “most”, the Fengxian Temple. Fengxian Temple was built in the Tang Dynasty and it is the largest grotto in Longmen Temple with a width of 36 meters and a length of 41 meters. The most impressive figure is the statue of Vairocana Buddha sitting cross—legged on the eight—square lotus throne. It is 17.14 meters in total height with the head 4meters in height and the ears 1.9 meters in length. At the sides of Vairocana there are two statues of Vairocana Buddhas disciples, Kasyapa and Ananda, wearing prudent and devout expressions,next are 2 Bodhisattvas, Heavenly Kings, andGreat Men of Strength. Vairocana means illuminating all things in the sutra. The Buddha has a well—filled figure, a sacred and kindly expression and an elegant smile. The chief Buddha gives you an impression of dignified manner, magnificent looking, wise, farsighted and kind nature. The various appearances and delicate designs are the representations of Empire Tangs powerful material and spiritual strength as well as the high crystallization of peoples wisdoms. Looking around the overall arrangement, we would rather say that the Fengxian Temple is a scene of a grand imperial court than a spot of Buddhism. Generally speaking, the Fengxian Temple is the most magnificent and artistic among all the shrines of the Tang Dynasty as well as an example of success in integrating politics with Buddhism in ancient China. Ok everyone, now you can take photos here. Or you can ask questions that you don’t understand. After 15 minutes we will gather right here. See you then.
Yuntai Mountain Situated in Xiuwu county, Hennan province, Yuntai Mountain has edged onto the China National Natural Heritage Candidate List due to its unique geological landforms, rich natural resources and cultural relics. It is characterized by its structural cuesta, flying waterfalls on faulted cliffs, quiet valleys and clear springs.Known as a world geopark, it was one of the first world geoparks to be approved by the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization in 20__. The park is known for its massive gardening areas, overhanging high cliffs, flying waterfalls, secluded valleys and spring water, with a spring in every 3 steps, a waterfall in every 5 steps, a pond in every 10 steps .Covering an area of 190sqm, the scenic spot is composed of many sightseeing places, such as Tan pu Gorge, Quanpu Gorge, Red Stone Gorge, Zifang Lake, Macaque Valley etc.
The Red Stone Canyon, which is a rare canyon sight in north China with waterfalls, lakes, pools and gullies, is highly acclaimed by gardening experts as a “natural gallery for mountain and river collections” because of its grand and exclusive landscapes. The most splendid waterfall in the canyon is the Bailong Waterfall, divided into three falls, measuring 30 meters in height. It looks as shiny as a huge silver dragon. A good place for waterfall watching is the Heilong （Black Dragon） Cave, which is as long as 30 meters with absolute darkness inside. Standing in the cave, you can not only see the marvelous falls dashing down into the deep pools but also the perilous high stiffs, narrowly separated from each other by fast—flowing gullies so that the sky is scarcely visible. The spring water flowing down the cliffs splashes into water drops that dazzle in the sunlight like colorful diamonds, looking like a unique picture hanging on the wall. Yuntai Mountain is famous for its grotesque hill, which extends as far as eyes can see. The main peak, Cornel Peak, is 1308m above the sea level.It is said to be famous for a poem by a famous poet in the Tang Dynasty called Wang Wei, who worked out a popular poem when he climbed up the mountain. The poem Thinking of My Brothers in Mountain Climbing Day fully conveys his emotion of missing friends. Mounting to the mountain top and looking far into the distance, you can see the Yellow River winding like a silver belt. Having a bird view of the foot of the mountain, you can see chains of peaks like sea waves. The weather on the top is oftenhttp： unpredictable. All at once clouds gather and wind blows,with mist rising among the mountains. The mountains looming in the mist and clouds look so vague that you feel as if you were in a fairy world.
Also, It had been the secluded place of seven Bamboo Forest Sages of the Wei and the Jin Period. Medicine King, Sun Simiao, once collected Chinese medicine here. Many historical stories are spreading in the area related to some fames once visited here. Yuntai Mountain is famous for its numerous rivers, lakes, pools and springs. Here we can see the highest waterfall in the country———— Yuntai Skyscraper Waterfall, which is 314 meters high like a huge pillar, reminds us of a famous peom of Libai“ The waters puring down from thousands above of the mountain, like the silver river dropping down from top of the heaven”. It looks especially magnificent, forming a unique spectacle along with other waterfalls, such as the Tianmen Waterfall, Bailong Waterfall, Huanglong Waterfall and Y—shaped Waterfall, dashing abruptly downward. Well,next spot for us is the Qinglong Canyon here, renowned as “First Canyon in Central China”, attracts many people for ecological touring for its mild climate, rich water resources and various vegetations.
The Garden of Market in Qingming Festival Now we’re leading our way to the city of Kaifeng. Kaifengis one of the 8 major ancient capitals of China. The city of Kaifeng was already in existence before 700 B.C. During the period of Warring States more than 2,000 years ago, King Hui of the State of Wei moved his capital to Kaifeng, rebuilt the city and called it Daliang. Since then, Kaifeng was the capital of several dynasties. As an ancient capital, Kaifeng has a lot of historical relics and scenic spots. Some of them have been preserved, such as the iron Pagoda, Po Pagoda, Xiangguo Monastery, Dragon Pavilion. They are precious heritages of the Chinese culture. The famous painting Qingming Scroll is believed by some to portray daily life in Kaifeng. The painting, of which several versions are extant, is attributed to the Song Dynasty artist Zhang Zeduan. Have you ever dreamed of going back to Northern Song Dynasty in China and enjoy the prosperity and culture of those years？ If so, come to the Garden of Market in Qingming Festivallocated in the old city of Kaifeng in Henan Province. Find yourself in the spectacular scenery there and you are sure to realize that dream. The Garden of Market in Qingming Festival located on the western bank of Longting Lake is a grand cultural garden. It covers an area of 600 mu, and the construction area is more than 30,000 square meters .The built area consists of several architectural complexes which are re—creations based on the famous twelfth century painting by Zhang Zeduan of The Qingming Festival by the Riverside.
When you enter the Garden of Market in Qingming Festival, a statue which is 16 meters tall comes into view. This figure is none other than the artist Zhang Zeduan, who holds his famous drawing of The Qingming Festival by the Riverside. This picture is a painted scroll which is 525 cm in length and 25.5 cm in width depicting life along Bian River during the Qingming Festival. The scenes in this painting are highly detailed and the spectacle is magnificent. There are large numbers of people and buildings. The people are shown in a variety of contemporary clothes that indicate their social standing and occupations. The lively throng includes many animals and it is not difficult to imagine the sounds in the street scenes where the people are crowded and noisy. We can almost hear someone’s bargaining with a shop owner while others are cheering entertainers. The picture is like a live symphony of life during the Song Dynasty.
Now we can find these scenic spots such as City Gate Tower, Rainbow Bridge, distinctive shops and others which are re—created in the Park according to the scenes in the painting. The Garden of Market in Qingming Festival not only reappears the vast vigor of the Millennium Picture, but also makes the history living by flexible creative idea, makes tourists the sense of backward flowing time by entering the park, just like passing through the space tunnel. Another scenic spot called Rainbow Bridge is a well—known feature in the Park. It is a replica of one of the ten ancient timber bridges. The bridge is 5 meters high. The first bridge was built in 1050, and reconstructed in 1998. Four 9 meters high columns, two at either end of the bridge, replicate the poles that were weather vanes at the time of the Song Dynasty. A white crane sits on a disk at the top of each column and they turn to face into the wind, indicating its direction. As a scenic spot for folk—custom tours, Chinese authorities have done a lot to preserve folk handcrafts and folk customs. You can see the process of making handicrafts, such as Bian embroidery, paintings for new years, enamel wares, tea ceremony, spinning and weaving, figures made from flour and sugar and folk—custom performances, such as acrobatics, folk arts and performances of birds, fighting cocks and dogs. Here, you are not only a visitor, but an actor. For example, you can act as Mr. Right in the competition for marrying Mr. Wang’s beautiful daughter and have the opportunity to enjoy the traditional wedding festivities. And you can be the No.1 Scholar in the imperial examination to bring honor to your ancestors. There is a large amusement hall built in the Song style, where many amusement activities are held, including swings, balance beams and many other amusements. As an ecological scenic spot, this garden was built and forested according to the Market Day During the QingMing Festival. The whole garden combines natural beauty with historical flavor, thus forming a favorable place to have a true rest and evoke your full energy both physically and spiritually.
Yin Ruins Yin Ruins is at Xiaotun Village of Anyang City. In ancient times, Xiaotun was called Yin and it was the capital of the Shang Dynasty. So the period was also called Yin Shang. After the Yin had been overthrown, the city declined and the remains of it was later called the Yin Ruins. Since the founding of new China, the Yin Ruins had been listed as the first group of cultural relics under national protection. In order to preserve its culture, the government built “Garden of the Yin Ruins” on the site. Today the garden is divided into several sections with ancient objects on display. Because of its great value in not only the historical relics of Chinese culture but also the human civilization of the whole world, Yin Xu topped the 100 Greatest Archeological Discoveries of China in the last century and it was listed in the World Cultural and Natural Heritage List of United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization （UNESCO）. Yin Xu is revealing its beauty to the world.
OK, everybody. Soon we’ll get to the Museum on Yin Ruins, the best museum for the study of the Yin Shang Culture. The Yin Ruins is famous for three things,i.e.the oracle inscriptions, the bronze wares and the ancient capital of the Shang Dynasty. As you know, China is one of the earliest countries to discover characters. As early as 4,000 years ago, people used bones or tortoise shells to record events of their social life. It is the earliest written form of language in the world. Today we call them the oracle bone inscriptions, which were first discovered in the Yin Ruins. Well,let’s come to the main hall where the oracle inscriptions are exhibited. The oracle bone inscriptions were first discovered during the years of Emperor GuangXu, in the Qing Dynasty. In 1899, in Xiao Tun Village of Anyang City, Henan Province, villagers found many tortoise shells and bones carved with letters and symbols, which unveiled to the world from Yin Xu, an ancient city with a long history and splendid culture.Then more than 16,000 pieces of bones and shells were found. But in the Shang Dynasty, they were used as divinations, when people were very superstitious. The inscriptions cover a wide range of fields, such as sacrifice, wars, state affairs, weather, hunting, etc. Today, they provide important information for the study of the Shang Dynasty. And the study of the oracle bone inscriptions has become a new subject and is getting more popular among people. Since
then this place has become of great interest to worldwide archeologists, because those inscriptions have proved to be the earliest written characters of human beings, the Oracles. Apart from the oracle bone inscriptions, bronze wares are another important part of the cultural relics discovered from the Ruins, which show that the technology of bronze casting reached its peak in the Shang Dynasty. The bronze wares include vessels, weapons,chariots and so on. Among all the unearthed wares, SimuwuQuadripod unearthed in the mausoleum area of the Yin Ruins, the largest and the most famous bronze sacrificial vessel in the world, is 875 kg in weight, 133 cm in height. Standing on the open plaza in front of the great hall is an enlarged copy of the original one for the convenience of touring and appreciation, with the original one cherished in the Museum of Chinese History. With its unusual air of majesty, together with its elegance in appearance and intricately carved in patterns, it is considered a treasure in the bronze culture of China as well as a glorious pearl shining on the peak of the world art. To cast such a significant vessel carrying such a great weight, advanced techniques and experiences in organization of laborers are necessary. As many scholars have pointed out, this huge bronze quadripod reflects the advanced slavery system of the Shang Dynasty and the unusual power of creation of the people. Finally we come to the side of the imperial palaces and tombs. Lying on the southwest of the Foundation Ruins C, Fuhao Tomb is one of the most important archeology discoveries in the temple. It is also the only discovered and well—reserved tomb of Shang royal members since the science excavation of Yin Ruins. Now, let’s know something about the first woman general in Chinese history.FuHao was Emperor Wu Ding’s wife,both intelligent and courageous. She had bravely led the Yin army fighting in many wars and made great contributions to the protecting of the country. After her death, Wu Ding built a large tomb near the palace to honor her merits. Buried together with her were many slaves and war prisoners as well assacrificial objects. The large numbers of sacrificial objects are valuable cultural relics in the treasure house of Chinese art.

the Native Place of Emperor Huangdi
The Native Place of Emperor Huangdi is located in the north of Xinzheng City. As a scenic spot of 4A— class assessed by the National Tour Bureau, it is a holly land for Chinese people all over the world to worship their ancestors, with memorial temples, andmausoleums of Emperor Huangdi situated here. Every year on March 3 of the lunar calendar, the day when the first emperor in China established the first nation in Chinese history, people of Chinese origin from home and abroad gather in Xinzheng, the birthplace of XuanyuanHuangdi, or the Yellow Emperor, to offer sacrifices and worship this legendary ancestor of the Chinese nation. To respect this great Emperor, his descendants have held large ceremonies of worship, which have been attracting descendants of Yanhuang from America, Japan, Korea, Canada and other nations and areas each year. They come back to worship, seeking their roots here in China.
Now, Here we are, The Native Place of EmperorHuangdi.This square was built in the end of 1998.It covers an area of 15,000 square meters,of which 7,900 square meters are covered with trees and flowers. It has become a very important place for the domestic and overseas Chinese descendants to hold large—scaled activities to worship their ancestors. In the center of the square here is a three—legged tripod caldron, whichwas cast in the shape of bears, reminding of the Emperor Huangdi’s rising from the Youxiong Tribe. The three—sided body of the tripod caldron has the embossment of three dragons with a fireball, implying the glorious sun and praying for favorable weather for crops and a harvest. Standing at the center of the altar, it is laurelled as “the No.1 tripod caldron of the world” for its unparalleled size and its special origin. It is 6.99 meters in height, 24 tons in weight, which has been registered in the Guinness World Records. The height number of 6.99 made up of figure 6 and 9 implies the majesty of grandness in traditional Chinese culture. Through the Xuanyuan Bridge above the JishuiRiver , here we can see the main hall. Please look at the pair of the guarding animalssitting on both sides of the gate.They are stone bears. Do you know why chose bears to guard the gate？ Because 5,000 years ago,there used to be many bears in Xinzheng. Bear was a kind of animal,very powerful and fierce then. In order to show people’s worship, the Youxiong Tribe regarded bear as the totem of their own tribe. Well, let’s enter the hall, there’re 8 mural paintings on the wall,which vividly depict the.
great achievements of the Yellow Emperor during his life.They’reThe Birth of the Yellow Emperor,Making Boat and Chariot,Setting up an alliance by EmperorHuangdi and Emperor Yandi, Crusading AgainstChiyou,Making Youxiong the Capital, Holding High the Dragon Flag, Developing Agriculture and Stock Raising, Creation of Chinese Civilization. It’s a long story behind these paintings： It is recorded that, in the Prehistoric Times, there lived many clans and tribes around the Yellow River and the Yangtze River, yet Huangdi was the most renowned tribal leader at that time. When the tribe lead by Yandi began to decline, Huangdis tribe was flourishing. During this period, Chiyou,another tribal leader, often lead his stronger tribe to invade other tribes, and invaded Yandis tribe. With the help of Huangdi, they defeated Chiyou.After 52 battlesHuangdi united China. All Chinese, despite nationalities, regardedHuangdi as our ancestor. Huangdi, the initiator of Chinese civilization, was hence worshipped by his descendants. After the capital was built,EmperorHuangdi raised his flag of dragon, symbolizing the unification of all tribes. The dragon was integrated with different parts of various animals： horse’s head, deer’s horn, tiger’s mouth, snake’s body, fish’s scales, and eagle’s claw. Since then, dragon has been the symbol of Chinese nation. On the both sides of the main hall, there’re eastern wing hall and western wing hall.In the east side hall,there is the statue of LuoZu, the first wife of EmperorHuangdi. She was the first person to raise silkworm and weave silk in ancient China and alsoan outstanding representative of ancient Chinese women. Every feudal dynasty set up temple for her and worshipped her as “the first ancestor in silkworm raising”. While in the west side hall, here is the statue Mother Mo, the fourth wife of Emperor Huangdi, who had invented the earliest “loom”for weaving. Later generations called her “mother Mo———the ancestor of weavers”.
Yamen in Neixiang County
The construction of the Yamen here started in 1303 in Yuan Dynasty, and the present buildings were built in Qing Dynasty. It was the most well preserved government office of country level in feudal China. Since our opening up to the outside world in 1984, it has attracted a number of our government officials and visitors form both at home and abroad because of its special history, science, attractive value and its own charm. We have the famous saying ： Beijing is the dragonhead while the dragon’s tail is in Neixiang. It is also one of the important cultural relics of state level.
The front part building of the Yamen was called a screen wall, which was built with blue brick relief sculpture. In the middle of the screen, there is a strange beast, which is called “Tan”. It was said to be a greedy beast that could swallow gold and silver treasures in the legend. Here in the picture we can see that around it there are treasures everywhere. But he is not satisfied. His mouth opens widely intending to swallow the sun in the sky, but as a result, he falls off the steep cliff, having his body smashed into pieces. The picture on the screen was first created by Zhu Yuanzhang, the founder of the Ming Dynasty. The purpose of the drawing is to warn the government officials not to take bribes and break the law. Here is the main entrance, halfway there is another gate right in the middle, called Yimen, the second main official entrance. It used to be open only on the day when new governor took his place or when higher official came to visit. On both sides of the second gate, there’re two small doors, the one on the east was called Life door, while the one on the west was called Death door, or Ghost door, which was used only by the criminals when they were sentenced to death and were going to be killed. Passing through Yimen, you can see a grand building here in front of you . That is the great hall. The great hall was the place where the governor of the county announced the government orders, and also some important ceremonies were held here and some important and serious criminal cases were tried here. In the middle of it, a trial desk was placed, and on the desk, the four treasures of the study and the red and green bamboo pieces used for trial could be found. On the front side of the screen, there’s a picture of seawater, tide and the sun, meaning that an official should be as clear as the sun and the moon and as clean as seawater. In other words, an official should be honest and upright. When the prosecutor and the defendant were taken to the hall for trial, they must kneel down on the stones. The square stone on the east was for the prosecutor, and the rectangle stone on the west was for the accused. Since most cases.
involved more defendants, the stone for them was longer then. The house behind the great hall was called doorman house. The man who guarded the house was called Doorman, who was the county governor’s relative or people who were close to him. Now we have come to the second hall. It was the place where the County Magistrate dealt with small cases. Please look at these famous couplets, which means that before law everyone is equal. So the judges should pass the fairest judgment on people. This is called Fuzi Yard, an ancient form of address to a Confucian scholar or to a master by his disciples. Fuzi was usually the official’s assistant who was usually their close friend of knowledgeable and artistic talent. Everyone, including the county governor respectfully addressed him as Lao Fuzi, so the place where Fuzi worked was called Fuzi Yard. Finally, let’s go to the third hall. It was the place where county governor did his daily work. If the cases he dealt with were of great importance, he would do it here. There was also a garden behind. It was here that county governor enjoyed his free life and got away from his government affairs. As we can see now, there’re many succinct couplets with rich intension here. But this one before the third hall was the most famous. It was written by GaoYigong , a county governor in Neixiang county. It means that being the local officials, we rearded the common people as our parents. We worked for them voluntarily and willingly.Nowadays , many of our Party leaders like Chairman Jiang Zemin read it with deep feelings, and Premier Zhu Rongji sings high praise of it. The words can be no doubt regarded as famous saying and epigram, and the only one of its kind. So now the Ymen in Neixiang, together with the Museum Palace in Beijing, and the other two in Hebei and Shanxi, has formed a special international tore route of the four great ancient Chinese Yamens. Neixiang is now going out of Henan and into the world. We warmly welcome all the reiends from all over the world to visit Neixiang, and enjoy the elegant demeanor of the ancient Yamen.
