The Great Wall

The Great Wall, like the Pyramids of Egypt, the Taj Mahal(1) in India and the Hanging Garden of Babylon(2), is one of the great wonders of the world. Starting out in the east on the banks of the Yalu River in Liaoning Province, the Wall stretches westwards for 12,700 kilometers to Jiayuguan in the Gobi desert, thus known as the Ten Thousand Li Wall in China. The Wall climbs up and down, twists and turns along the ridges of the Yanshan and Yinshan Mountain Chains through five provinces--Liaoning, Hebei, Shanxi, Shaanxi, and Gansu--and two autonomous regions--Ningxia and Inner Mongolia, binding the northern China together.

Historical records trace the construction of the origin of the Wall to defensive fortification back to the year 656 B.C. during the reign of King Cheng of the States of Chu. Its construction continued throughout the Warring States period in the fifth Century B.C. when ducal states Yan, Zhao, Wei, and Qin were frequently plundered by the nomadic peoples living north of the Yinshan and Yanshan mountain ranges. Walls, then, were built separately by these ducal states to ward off such harassments. Later in 221 B.C., when Qin conquered the other states and unified China, Emperor Qinshihuang ordered the connection of these individual walls and further extensions to form the basis of the present great wall. As a matter of fact, a separate outer wall was constructed north of the Yinshan range in the Han Dynasty(206 BC--1644 BC.), which went to ruin through years of neglect. In the many intervening centuries, succeeding dynasties rebuilt parts of the Wall. The most extensive reinforcements and renovations were carried out in the Ming Dynasty (1368--1644) when altogether 18 lengthy stretches were reinforced with bricks and rocks. it is mostly the Ming Dynasty Wall that visitors see today. The Great Wall is divided into two sections, the east and west, with Shanxi Province as the dividing line. The west part is a rammed earth construction, about 5.3 meters high on average. In the eastern part, the core of the Wall is rammed earth as well, but the outer shell is reinforced with bricks and rocks. The most imposing and best preserved sections of the Great Wall are at Badaling and Mutianyu, not far from Beijing and both are open to visitors. The Wall of those sections is 7.8 meters high and 6.5 meters wide at its base, narrowing to 5.8 meters on the ramparts, wide enough for five horses to gallop abreast. There are ramparts, embrasures, peep-holes and apertures for archers on the top, besides gutters with gargoyles to drain rain-water off the parapet walk. Two-storied watch-towers are built at approximately 400-meters internals. The top stories of the watch-tower were designed for observing enemy movements, while the first was used for storing grain, fodder, military equipment and gunpowder as well as for quartering garrison soldiers. The highest watch-tower at Badaling standing on a hill-top, is reached only after a steep climb, like "climbing a ladder to heaven". The view from the top is rewarding, hoverer. The Wall follows the contour of mountains that rise one behind the other until they finally fade and merge with distant haze. A signal system formerly existed that served to communicate military information to the dynastic capital. This consisted of beacon towers on the Wall itself and on mountain tops within sight of the Wall. At the approach of enemy troops, smoke signals gave the alarm from the beacon towers in the daytime and bonfire did this at night. Emergency signals could be relayed to the capital from distant places within a few hour long before the invention of anything like modern communications. There stand 14 major passes (Guan, in Chinese) at places of strategic importance along the Great Wall, the most important being Shanghaiguan and Jiayuguan. Yet the most impressive one is Juyongguan, about 50 kilometers northwest of Beijing. Known as "Tian Xia Di YI Guan" (The First Pass Under Heaven), Shanghaiguan Pass is situated between two sheer cliffs forming a neck connecting north China with the northeast. It had been, therefore, a key junction contested by all strategists and many famous battles were fought here. It was the gate of Shanghaiguan that the Ming general Wu Sangui opened to the Manchu army to suppress the peasant rebellion led by Li Zicheng and so surrendered the whole Ming empire to the Manchus, leading to the foundation of the Qing Dynasty. (1644-1911) Jiayuguan Pass was not so much as the "Strategic pass Under the Heaven" as an important communication center in Chinese history. Cleft between the snow-capped Qilian Mountains and the rolling Mazong Mountains, it was on the ancient Silk Road. Zhang Qian, the first envoy of Emperor Wu Di of the Western Han dynasty (206 B.C-24 A.D), crossed it on his journey to the western regions. Later, silk flowed to the west through this pass too. The gate-tower of Jiayuguan is an attractive building of excellent workmanship. It has an inner city and an outer city, the former square in shape and surrounded by a wall 11.7 meters high and 730 meters in circumference. It has two gates, an eastern one and a western one. On each gate sits a tower facing each other. the four corners of the wall are occupied by four watch towers, one for each. Juyongguan, a gateway to ancient Beijing from Inner Mongolia, was built in a 15-kilometer long ravine flanked by mountains. The cavalrymen of Genghis Khan swept through it in the 13th century. At the center of the pass is a white marble platform named the Cloud terrace, which was called the Crossing-Street Dagoba, since its narrow arch spanned the main street of the pass and on the top of the terrace there used to be three stone dagobas, built in the Yuan Daynasty(1206-1368). At the bottom of the terrace is a half-octagonal arch gateway, interesting for its wealth of detail: it is decorated with splendid images of Buddha and four celestial guardians carved on the walls. The vividness of their expressions is matched by the exquisite workmanship. such grandiose relics works, with several stones pieced together, are rarely seen in ancient Chinese carving. The gate jambs bear a multi-lingual Buddhist sutra, carved some 600 years ago in Sanskrit(3), Tibetan, Mongolian, Uigur(4), Han Chinese and the language of Western Xia. Undoubtedly, they are valuable to the study of Buddhism and ancient languages. As a cultural heritage, the Wall belongs not only to China but to the world. The Venice charter says: "Historical and cultural architecture not only includes the individual architectural works, but also the urban or rural environment that witnessed certain civilizations, significant social developments or historical events." The Great Wall is the largest of such historical and cultural architecture, and that is why it continues to be so attractive to people all over the world. In 1987, the Wall was listed by UNESCO as a world cultural heritage site. Notes:1. the Taj Mahal in India 印度的泰姬陵2. the Hanging Garden of Babylon 巴比伦的空中花园3. Sanskrit 梵语4. Uigur 维吾尔语

In 1987, the Wall was listed by UNESCO as a world cultural heritage site. 故宫 hello, everyone,we are now going to pay a visit to a place of special interest. this scenic spot is located at the center of beijing and is characterized by thousands of palatial architectures and purple walls as well as yellow glazed tile roofs- it is simply a sea of palaces. this is the world – famous wonder – the palace museum.

the palace museum has served as the royal residence during the ming and qing dynasties. it was here that a total of 24 monarchs ascended the throne and wielded power for some 500 years. the palace museum, as the most beautiful spot of interest throughout beijing, is unique for its location: to the northwest is beihai(north sea) park, famous for its white pagoda and rippling lake; to the west is the zhongnahai (central and south sea); to the east lies the the wangfujing shopping street; and to the north id jinshan park. standing in the wanchun (everlasting spring) pavilion at the top of jingshan(charcoal hill) park, you overlook the skyline of the palace museum. at the southern end of the palace is tian` anmen (gate of heavenly peace) and the famous square named after it . this is the symbol of the people` s republic of china. a world-famous historical site, the palace museum is on the world heritage list of unesco and is an embodiment of oriental civilization.

the palace museum is rectangular in shape, 960 meters long from north to south and 750 meters wide from east to west, covering a space of 720,000 square meters of which 150,000 is building area . it has 9000-strong rooms in it . according to legend there are 9999.5 room-units in all .the whole compound is enclosed by a 10-meter-hign wall and is accessed through four entrances, namely, the meridian gate in the south ,the gate of military prowess in the north, donghua(eastern flowery ) gate in the north, donghua ( eastern flowery) gate in the east and xihua(western flowery ) gate in the west. on each corner there is a turret consisted of 9 roof beams, 18 pillars and 72 ridge . encircling the compound there is a 3,800-meter-long and 52 meter-wide moat, making the palace museum a self-defensive city-within-a city.

the palace museum was made a center of rule during the ming dynasty by zhun di, the fourth son of the founding emperor zhuyuanzhang. the whole complex straddles on an 8-kilometers-long central axis that stretches from yongding (forever stable) gate in the south to gulou (drum tower) in the north. prominence was given to the royal power by putting the ―three main front halls‖ and ―three back halls ‖on the axis while arrange other subsidiary structure around them .the construction of the palace museum involved manpower and resources across china. for example, the bricks laid in the halls ,known as ―gold brick, ‖ underwent complex, two –dozen processes. as the final touch ,the fired bricks were dipped in chinese wood oil. involving complicated processes and high cost, these brick are called ―golden bricks.‖ the palace museum serves as a living embodiment of good tradition and styles unique to china` s ancient architecture. it reflects to the full the ingenuity and creativity of the chinese working people. a carefully preserved and complete group of royal residences, the palace museum is a prominent historical and tourist site.

what we are now approaching is the main entrance to the palace museum-the meridian gate, which is characterized by red walls, yellow glazed –tile roofs and upturned eaves. on top of this walls, yellow glazed-tile roofs and upturned eaves. on top of this magnificent building ,there stand five lofty halls with a main hall in the center. the main hall is roofed by multiple eaves and covers a space of 9 room-units. it is flanked by two wings on each side .the wings are square in shape ,complete with multiple and four edged eaves and pinnacles. all of these structures are connected by a colonnade. because these halls resemble a soaring bird, it was also know as wufenglou (five-phoenix tower) . inside the main hall there is a throne. drums and bells were stored in the wings. whenever the emperor presided over grand ceremonies or observed rites in the hall of upreme harmony, drums, bells and gongs would be struck to mark the occasion.

as the legend goes, the meridian gate used to be a place where condemned ranking officials would be executed. this not true. however, flogging was carried out here by the ming emperors ,if a courtier falls afoul of the emperor, he would be stripped of his court dress and flogging with a stick .at one point the punishment became so harsh that a total of 11 people died from fatal wound on a single occasion .on the other hand, this building was also used to observe important occasions like the traditional chinese lantern festival (15th day of the first lunar month). on these occasions, chinese lanterns would be hanged and sumptuous banquets would be given in honour of the whole court of ministers and other ranking officials.

upon entering the meridian gate we began our tour of the palace museum. the river foowing in front of us is known as jin shui he (golden water river) and the five marbles bridges spanning it are known as the inner golden water bridges. the on in the middle was used exclusive by the emperor and its banisters were carved with dragon and phoenix designs. the bridges flanking the imperial one were reserved for princes and other royal members. the rest were used by palatines. aside from decoration, the golden water river was also dug as precaution against fire. most of the structures within the palace museum are made of wood. what is more ,according to ancient chinese cosmology, the south is the abode of fire, so this brook was dug on the southern tip of the palace. in this way, the palace museum reflects traditional chinese culture.

this building is called the gate of supreme harmony .in the foreground stand two bronze lions. can anybody tell which is male and which is female? the one on the east playing with a ball is male, symbolizing power and universal unity. the other on the west with a cub cuddling underneath its claw is female? the one on the east playing with a ball is male, symbolizing power and universal unity. the other on the west with a cub cuddling underneath its claw is female, representing prosperity the endless succession. a layout of the palace museum is posted by the entrance . from it ,you can see that the palace museum has two main parts: the forecourt and the inner court. the three main halls constitute the mainstay of the forecourt, and it was here that the emperor announced decisions and observed rites. behind the forecourt there is the inner court, consisting of major halls and the imperial garden .it was where the emperor attended state affairs, lived and enjoyed his luxurious life. the exhibition system of the palace museum involves historical court relics and articles of ancient art and culture. the palace museum houses nearly one million articles of rare treasure, or one sixth of the total number in all of china `s museums. there are the three main halls of the palace museum, built on a triple marble terrace . since most of china `s architecture is made of wood, the buildings cannot be too tall. to gain the height of the architecture, ingenious ancient artisans built the hall on a gigantic stone terrace .it is also to this end that not a single plant was grown in the square. on stairways of triple marble terrace there are 18 bronze tripods .the verandah is flanked by bronze tortoises and cranes, which served as symbols of longevity .on the east is a sundial, an ancient timepiece. on the west there is a grain measure suggesting that the emperor was just and equitable.

in the front and on each flank ,there is a pair of gilt bronze vats (caldrons ) molded during the reign of emperor qianlong of the qing dynasty .each of these weights 2 tons and is filled with water as a precaution in the event of a fire .the structure in the very middle is the hall of supreme harmony ,also known as the throne hall. it is 64 meters in width and is 38 meters from entrance to rear. with terrace exclusive ,the hall is 26.92 meters in height and is 35.03 meters in all .covering and areaof 2,377 square meters, the hall of supreme harmony is china` s largest exiting wooden structure. the hall is supported by 6 thick ,round pillars carved in a design of coiling dragons. as the holiest place in the hall, the ceiling and colored patterns were made of the finest material available at that time. the throne was placed on a terrace and is flanked by statues of elephants, luduan (a unicorn which could travel 18,000 kilometers a day and understand all languages), cranes and incense barrels .over the throne there is the caisson ,or covered ceiling ,which consists of a coiling dragon playing with a ball in its mouth .this ball is known as xuanyuan mirror ,and was supposedly made by a chinese emperor of remote times to serve as a reminder that thee rulers to follow were his hereditary heirs. the throne is made of nanmu and painted in gold .magnificently built and luxuriously decorated ,this hall did not serve as a place in which the emperor attended to daily affairs. he used his hall for major events such as his birthday, conferral of title of empress or dispatch of generals to war.

behind the hall of supreme harmony ,there sits the hall of complete harmony. this structure is square in shape .each side is 24.15 meters. this was the place where the emperor relaxed and greeted his courtiers before proceeding to the hall of supreme harmony to observe rites. this was also the place where the emperor prepared prayers or examined seeds and sowers before he attended ancestral sacrifices or participated in snowing ceremonies. a grand ceremony was also held here once every 10 years for the emperor to genealogize the royal blood. there are two sedan chairs on display in the hall. behind the hall of complete harmony ,you will see the hall of preserving harmony, which was used as a place where imperial examinations were held. the imperial examination was the hignest level of competing for meritorious appointment under the feudal system dating back to the sui dynasty. china` s last imperial examination was held in 1904 during the reign of emperor guangxu of the qing dynasty. to the rear of hall there is a marble ramp carved with cloud and dragon designs, the largest of its kind in the whole country . it is 16.57 meters in length, 3.07 meters in width, 1.7 meters thick and weighs 250 tons. it was quarried in fangshan county in suburban beijing. to bring this giant piece of stone to beijing people poured water onto the road and applied rolling blocks during the process.

we are now standing before the square of the hall of heaven purity. it served as a divide separating the forecourt from the inner court .this building is known as the gate of heavenly purity. emperor qianlong held court here. proceeding further north ,you can find three main rear halls ,i.e. the hall of heavenly purity. the hall of union and peace and palace of earthly tranquility. the hall of heavenly purity if flanked on either side by two gates named after the sun and moon .inside the enclosure there are 12 palaces and halls symbolizing constellations. all of the other buildings are centered around the palace of heavenly purity , which was meant to suggest that the monarch` s power was endowed by heaven. the empress and concubines lived in the inner court.

the hall of heavenly purity was where the emperor lived and attended to daily affairs. later the emperor moved to live in the palace of mental cultivation. looking up you can see a plaque bearing the chinese inscription ―be open and above-board,‖ a manifesto to court struggle .behind the plaque a strongbox was stored containing a will bearing the name of the would –be royal successor. this approach of secretly selecting the next emperor was adopted by emperor yongzheng of the qing dynasty. two copies of the will were prepared .one was stashed by the emperor in person ,the other was placed inside the strong box behind the plaque. after the death of the emperor, the two copies would be compared and successor would be announced. it was in this way that emperor qianglong and others have ascended the throne.

behind the hall of heavenly purity you will see the hall of union and peace , which is indentical to the hall of complete harmony. it was there that the emperor received congratulations and tributes from imperial officials on major calender occasions , a total of 25 imperial seals are stored there. in the hall, you will see a plaque with the handwritten inscription of ―we wei,‖ exhorting taoist doctrines.

further northward is the palace of earthly tranquillity, which once served as the living room of the empresses` . the hall was later converted into a sacrificial place .through the windowpanes on the eastern wall you can see the royal bed decorated with dragon and phoenix designs. this hall has also served as the bridal chamber of monarchs.

the gate of earthly tranquilliity leads to the imperial garden (known to westerners as qianlong` s garden ),which was used by the emperor ,the empress, and the concubines. a magnificent structure stands in the middle. it is called the qin `s an (imperial peace) hall. it is the only building in the palace museum that was built in taoist style. it served as a shrine to the taoist deity. the garden covers a space of 12,000 square meters ,and is 130 meters from east to the west and some 90 meters from north to the south. there are a dozen halls, verandahs, pavilions and waterside houses in the garden . on each of the fur corner there is a pavilion dedicated to the four seasons which is different in construction style and shape. the garden also features an imperial landscape. with rare trees and exotic rockery, the imperial garden served as a model for china` s imperial parks .in all ,a total of 10-strong building styles were applied.

the tall building we are now passing is the gate of military prowess, the back door of the palace museum. our visit is now drawing to a conclusion but the architectures of the palace are not . on the other side of the road is the 43-meter-hign charcoal hill , providing natural protection for the forbidden city. this was also an embodiment of china` s construction style-putting a pool in the front and a hill in the rear. now let` s climb up to wanchun (everlasting springs ) pavillion where we` ll have a great view of the palace museum. 颐和园 the tour will take 4-6 hours. the route is as follows: out side the east gate-side the east gate –in front of the hall of benevolence and longevity- in front of garden of virtuous harmony-in front of the grand theater building- a lakeside walk from the garden of virtuous harmony to the hall o jade ripples- in front of the o jade ripples- in front of the yiyunguan (chamber of mortal being)-hall of happiness and longevity- in front of the yaoyue (chamber of mortal beings)-hall of happiness and longevity-in front of the yaoyue(inviting the moon ) gate of the long corridor- strolling along the long corridor- visiting an exhibition of cultural relics- in front of the hall of dispelling clouds- inside the hall of dispelling clouds- atop the tower of buddhist incense- on a hilltop leading from the back door of the tower of buddhist incense- on a hilltop leading from the back door of the tower of buddhist incense- inside the garden of harmonious interest –outside the south gate to suzhou shopping street- atop the stone bridge inside the suzhou shopping street –on the road from the south gate of suzhou shopping street- on the road form the south gate of suzhou shopping street to the marble boat- in front of the ruins of the garden of complete spring –along the lakeside by the marble boat-boating on the kunming lake-leaving out through the east gate.

(out side the east gate)

ladies and gentlemen: welcome to the summer palace. (after the self-introduction of the guide -interpreter) i hope this will be an interesting and enjoyable day for you . during our tour, you will be introduced to time honored historical and cultural 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 with vast territories. the monarch in power then was emperor qianlong. with supreme power and large sums of money, he summoned skillful and ingenious artisans from all 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 revenue spent, the garden of clear ripples was completed and served as a testimony to china` s scientific and technological achievements. in 1860, this vast royal garden was burnt down along with the yuanming yuan (garden of perfection and brightness) by angol-french allied forces. in 1888, empress dowager cixi reconstructed the garden on the same site and renamed it the garden of nurtured harmony (summer palace). characterized by its vast scope and rich cultural embodiments, the summer palace has become one of the most famous tourist sites in the world. this is the main entrance to the summer palace-the east gate on top of the eaves of the door there is a plaque bearing a chinese inscription which means ―garden of nurtured harmony‖ , whose calligrapher was emperor guangxu. the gate that you are now entering was used exclusively by the emperor, the empress and the queer mother. all others used the side doors. (inside the east gate)

the summer palace can be divided into two parts: longevity hill and kunming lake .the whole garden covers an area of 290 hectares, of whih three- fourths consists of a lake and rivers .this imperial garden features 3,000 room-units and covers an expanse of 70,000 square meters with more than 100 picturesque spots of interest. the layout of the summer palace includes three groups of architectures: palaces where the emperor attended to state affairs, resting palaces of the emperor and empress, and sightseeing areas. entering the east gate we will come the the office quarters. entering the east gate we will come to the office quarters. the annex halls on both sides were used for officials on duty. this is the gate of benevolence and longevity. above the door there is a plaque bearing the same name in both chinese and manchurian characters. the gigantic rock in the foreground is known as taihu rock, or eroded limestone, quarried in jiangsu province and placed here to decorated the garden. on the marble terrace sits a bronze mythical beast, known as qilin or xuanni . it was said to the one of the nine sons of dragon king. a point of peculiar interest is that it has the head of a dragon, antlers of a deer, the tail of a lion and hooves of a ox, and is covered with a unique skin. it was considered an auspicious creature that brought peace and prosperity. this grand hall is the hall of benevolence and longevity. it was built in 1750 , and was known as the hall of industrious government. emperor qianlong ruled that the halls where monarchs attended to state affairs would be named after them . after the rebuilding of the summer palace, the hall was renamed, suggesting that benevolent rulers would enjoy long lives.

the arrangement of the hall has been left untouched. in the middle of the hall stands a throne made of sandalwood and carved with beautiful designs. in the background there is a screen carved with nine frolicking dragons. on either side of the throne there are two big fans made of peacock feathers, two column-shaped incense burners, crane-shaped lanterns and an incense burner assuming the form of luduan, a mythological animal which was suppose to have the power to prevent fire. the small chambers on eight side were where the emperor qianlong and empress dowager cixi rested and met officials on formal occasions. on the verandah in the foreground of the hall there are bronze statues of dragon and phoenixes which served as incense burners on major occasions. they are hollow and smoke comes through holes on their backs. also on the veranda are tai ping (peace) bronze water vats made during the reign of emperor qianlong. as a precaution in case of fire, a fire was lit underneath the vats in the winter to keep the water in them from freezing. (at the entrance of garden of virtuous harmony)

we are now visiting the garden of virtuous harmony, where emperor qianlong and empress dowager cixi were entertained with beijing opera performances. it mainly consists of the dressing house, the grand theater building and the hall of pleasure smiles. the grand theater building known as the ―cradle of beijing opera‖ was uniquely laid out and magnificently decorated. on september 10, 1984, the garden of virtuous harmony opened its doors to visitors. there are also 7 exhibition halls with articles of daily use on display here. the staff here put up court dresses of qing dynasty in order to give the visitor a more vivid impression. (in front of the grand theater building)

this building is 21 meters in height and 17 meters in width and features three tiers of tilted eaves and stages. all of the stages are connected to a raise ,and a winch is installed at the top. a well and 5 ponds were sunk under the ground stage. there are trapdoors in the ceiling for fairies to descend, as well as on the floor for demons to surface. the underground passages also served as a means of improving resonance and making the performers` voices more audible .of the three main theater building of the qing dynasty, the grand theater building is the tallest and the largest. the other two are changyin (fluent voice ) pavilion in chengde, an imperial summer resort. the building played a major part in fostering the birth and development of beijing opera: since the completion of the grand theater building, many performances were held in it in honor of the empress dowager cixi. (a lakeside walk from the garden of virtuous harmony to the hall of jade ripples)

we are now standing in the middle of a rockery behind the hall of benevolent and longevity. it appears that there` s nothing special ahead. however, after we clear the rockery, we will reach kunming lake. this is a application of a specific style of chinese gardening. not far away in the lake there is a islet. it is filled with peach and weeping willow trees and serves as a ideal place to appreciate the scenery. the pavilion on the islet is called zhichun (understanding spring) pavilion and is chardcterized by four- edged, multiple eaved roofs. (in front of the hall of jade ripples)

this group of special and quiet courtyard dwelling is the hall of jade ripples. it was first used by emperor qianlong to attend to state affairs. it was also where emperor guangxu of the late qing dynasty was kept under house arrest.

this hall is a hallmark of the reform movement of 1898, emperor guanxu was empress dowager cixi` s nephew. after emperor tongzhi died, empress dowager cixi made her nephew, who was at that time four years old a successor in order to continue her wielding of power behind the scenes. when emperor guanxu was 19 years old ,empress dowager cixi relinquished power to him but continued to exert considerable influence. in 1898, the reform movement took place with the aim of sustaining the corn principles of the qing dynasty while reforming outdated laws. the movement lasted for 103 days until it was suppressed by empress dowager cixi. the emperor` s six earnest reformists were beheaded and emperor guangxu was placed under house arrest which lasted for 10 years .all the back doors were sealed and a brick was was put up behind the wooden partition on each side of the two annexes of the courtyard. emperor guangxu was closely watched by eunuchs. the wall remains intact for tourists to see.. dynasty while reforming outdated laws. the movement lasted for 103 days until it was suppressed by empress dowager cixi. the emperor` s six earnest reformists were beheaded and emperor guangxu was placed under house arrest which lasted for 10 years .all the back doors were sealed and a brick was was put up behind the wooden partition on each side of the two annexes of the courtyard. emperor guangxu was closely watched by eunuchs. the wall remains intact for tourists to see. (in front of yiyunguan (chamber of mortal beings)

this was where empress and empress dowager of china` s feudal system. however, emperor guanxu was not the last emperor of the qing dynasty. the last in the line was emperor puyi, who ascended the throne in 1908 at the age of three, too young to be married . in 1912, he was forced to abdicate. during the short reign of emperor puyi. empress longyu handled state affairs on his behalf in the name of empress dowager. in 1911, a revolution led by dr. sun yat-sun succeeded, and the year after, empress longyu announced the abdication of the last emperor of china. (in the hall of happiness and longevity) the aged empress dowager cixi was so fond of the summer palace that she decided to live here from april through october of every year. this group of buildings served as her residence.

this group of courtyard dwellings consists of a forecourt and a backyard with annex courts on each side .the whole compound was basically made of wood, which is ideal for ventilation and lighting . with its quiet and tasteful layout, the hall of happiness and longevity made life very easy and convenient. no wonder one of empress dowager cixi` s pleasure boat. on the pier there is a tall lantern post. flanking the staircase leading to the main entrance of the hall, there are bronze cranes, deer and vases, symbolizing universal peace. the interior layout is the same as the imperial court, with throne, a large table and incense burners placed in the middle. at mealtime, eunuchs-in –waiting would make a gigantic table out of this table and empress dowager cixi would dine on 128 courses. because of this more than 1,800 tales of silver would be spent each month on meals. on the east side of the living room is the cloak room. the bedroom in on its west. in front of the yaoyue (inviting the moon ) gate of the long corridor

the famed long corridor is ahead. facing kunming lake and in the foreground of longevity hill, the long corridor stretches from yaoyue (inviting the moon ) gate to shizhang (stony old man) pavilion. it is 728 meters in length and consist of 273 sections and connects four octagonal pavilions. in 1990 ,it was listed in guinness book of world records. (strolling along the long corridor)

the long corridor is one of the major structures of the summer palace .since the corridor was designed to follow the physical features of the southern slope of longevity hill , four multiple-eaved, octagonal pavilions (beauty-retaining pavilion, enjoy-the ripples pavilion, autumn water pavilion and clarity distance pavilion) were placed at bends and undulation. thus sightseers will hardly notice the rise and fall of the terrain. as a major part of the architectural style of the summer palace, the long corridor serves as an ingenious connector between the lake and the hill. scattered buildings on the southern slope were linked to creat a unified complex. this corridor can also be called a ―corridor of paintings ‖: there are more than 14,000 paintings on its beams. some of them are of birds, flowers and landscapes of the west lake in hangzhou, zhejian province. others present scenes from literary classics. the majority of the landscape painting were done under the order of emperor qianlong, who preperred the scenery of south china. (by the door leading to the exhibition of cultural relics) this group of temple-shaped structures are known as qinghua (clarified china) hall ,also known as arhat hall during the reign of emperor qianlong. the original hall burned down in 1860. after it was reconstructed, it was renamed. qinghua hall is now used as a exhibition hall displaying rare cultural relics collected in the summer palace. the hall consists of 6 exhibition rooms with tens of thousands of articles of treasure on display in turn. among the exhibits there are bronze ware, porcelain, jade assemblages from the ming and qing dynasties, and rare and paintings. there is also a gigantic stone slab, which is more than 3 meters in height and width. it bears the handwritten inscriptions of emperor qianlong is commemoration of the suppression of a rebellion in the xinjiang region. only this slab survived when the angle-french allied forces set fire to the summer palace. (in front of the gate of dispelling clouds)

now we are approaching the central part of the structures on the lakeside slope, the tower of buddhist incense within the hall of dispelling clouds. the hall of dispelling clouds was where numerous palatines kowtowed to empress dowager cixi. it was surrounded by galleries and flanked by annex halls. in the forecourt there is a pool and marble bridges . starting from the lakeside, there lies in succession a memorial archway, the gate of dispelling clouds, the hall of dispelling clouds and the tower of buddhist incense. all of these structures are built on a central axis and each is taller than its predecessor. this was designed to give prominence to the last structure, the tower of buddhist incense, which was a symbol of imperial power. the layout of this group of architectures was based on scenes described in buddhist sutras. this group of structure are among the most magnificently constructed here in the summer palace. (inside the hall of dispelling clouds) the original buildings on this site were burned down by the anglo-french allied forces in 1860. a new set of structures was built during the reign of emperor guanxu, and was called the hall of dispelling clouds, suggesting that it was a fairyland. the hall was built on a high terrace, and has 21 room. inside the hall are a throne, screens, tripods and mandarin fans. on a platform you will see bronze dragons, phoenixes and tripods. at the foot of the platform there are four bronze water vats, the ancient form of fire extinguishers. the 10th day of lunar october was ,empress dowager cixi` s birthday. on that day ,she sat on the throne here to receive congratulations and gifts.

now we are going to pay a visit to the highlight of the summer palace- the tower of buddhist incense. what we are now standing on is a stone terrace which is 20 meters in height. it has a semi housed stairway of 100 steps, you will live for 100 years. so, let` s go ! (in the front of the tower of buddhist incense) an octagonal structure with three storeys and quadruple eaves, the tower of buddhist incense is the very center of the summer palace, and is one of the masterpieces of ancient chinese architecture. the tower is 41 meters in height, and is buttressed by 8 solid pillars made of lignumvitae logs. with its complex structure, ingenious layout, towering terrace and convincing grandeur, the tower of buddhist incense was artfully set out by the imperial gardens and beautiful scenery surrounding it .the tower overlooks kunming lake and other picturesque spots within an area of tens of kilometers .on the west side of the tower stands baoyunge (precious cloud pavilion). it is made of bronze and is7.5 meters in height and 270 tons in weight. it resembles its wooden counterparts in every detail. it is one of the largest and most exquisite bronze pavilions still on existence in china. lamas prayed here during the reign of emperor qianlong in honor of the monarchs and their families. at the turn of the century 10 bronze windows were spirited abroad. in 1992 an american company bought the windows and returned them intact to china. (on a hilltop leading from the back door of tower of buddhist incense)

now we can see the long and snaking western causeway and a shorter dike that divides kunming lake into three areas that contain south lake island, seaweed-viewing island and circle city island. the three island represent three mountain in ancient chinese mythology, i. e. penglai, fangzhang and yingzhou. this peculiar method of incorporating a lake a three mountains within a single garden was a brainchild of emperor wudi of the han dynasty more than 2,000 years ago, bearing testimony to feudal monarchs` s longing for longevity. as the legend goes many heavenly elixirs grew on the three mythical islands. using artificial building techniques, the ancient chinese built this masterpiece based on the myth to make the mythical on appear to be accessible to humans. (inside the garden of harmonious interest) setting a garden within a larger garden has been one of china traditional architectural styles. the garden of harmonious interest serves as a fine example of this. this garden was built under the order of emperor qianlong and modeled after the jichang garden (garden of ease of mind )at the foot of mount huishan, jiansu province. it was renamed by his son emperor jiaqing in 1811. the existing garden was rebuilt by emperor or guangxu. empress dowager cixi used to go fishing here. the garden features 10 waterfront platforms, pavilions and halls as well as hundreds of galleries with all of its structures facing the lake and pools, the garden of harmonious interest is basically a garden of waterscape. spanning the vast expanse of the lake and pools are five bridges, each quite different from the others. the most famous of them is the bridge known as ―knowing –the fishing-bridge.‖ it is said that more than 2,500 years ago during the warring states period, two philosophere named zhuang zi had an interesting argument by the side of a pond.

zhang said, ‖fish swim to and fro in the water. what happy fish!‖ hui asked , ‖you are not a fish. how do you know they are happy? ‖ zhuang replied, ―you are not me .how do you know i don’t know? ‖ hui signed, ―i am not you ,therefore, i don’t know you . and you are not a fish ,so how

do you know that fish are happy? ‖ zhang said, ―you ask me how i know fish are happy, why do you keeping me the same question?‖ although the garden of harmonious interest was designed after jichang garden, it not only absorbed the original designs, but exceeded it . (outside the south entrance to suzhou shopping street) now lets have a look at longevity hill. on the back slope of the hill stands a group of architectures. the centerpiece of structures there are known as the four continents and are dedicated to buddhism. this group was laid out and arranged in accordance with buddhist cosmology. aside from a main shrine and structures embodying the four continents, there are eight towers representing minor continents. the shrine is surrounded by four lamaist pagodas and between the major and minor continents, there two platforms representing the sun and the moon. the qing authority attached great importance to buddhism. to further strengthen ties with the ethnic minorities who practiced buddhism, the monarchs incorporated both han and tibetan styles of architecture into this group of temples. further north at the foot of the four major continent lies the suzhou shopping street. built along the back lake of the summer palace, this street stretches about 300 meters and features more than 60 stores. it includes restaurants, teahouses, pawnshops banks, drugstores dye houses and publishing houses. in order to recreate the atmosphere of ancient times, visitors will have the chance to exchange their money to ancient style chinese coins for use here. storefronts are trimmed with traditional signboards and ornaments. the commercial culture of the mid-18th century has thus been recreated. (atop the stone bridge inside the suzhou shopping street) visitors may be surprise to see that this shopping street is almost the same as that in south china. as a matter of fact, this street was designed after the shops along the canals in suhzhou. originally known as emperor` s shopping street, it was built during the reign of emperor qianlong. after making several inspection tours to south china and being duly impressed by its commercial prosperity, emperor qianlong ordered the construction of this street. the imperial shopping street was burnt down by anglo-french allied forces in 1860. the site remained desolated until 1987, when reconstruction began. it was opened to the public in september 1990. with commercial culture as its hallmark, the suzhou shopping street is a vivid representation of china` s traditional cultures. (on the road from the south fate of the suzhou shopping street to the marble boat) this is the hall of pines. from it to the west we can walk to the marble boat. the path we aree taking stretches between longevity hill and back lake. monarchs and their cohorts used to stroll along it .hence it was named central imperial path. along this path you will see lilacs all around. hence, this road is also known as the path of lilac. (in front of the ruins of the garden of complete spring) quite a few unique structures were burnt down during the reign of emperor qianlong, among which the garden of complete spring was one of the most famous. the ruined and desolate courtyard by the roadside was its original site, it remains to be restored.

this group of structures cover an area of 4,000 square meters and features a number of halls built on three different levels. all of the structures were connected with galleries and stone staircases. with its natural and ingenious combination of pavilions, a hall, galleries and rooms, the garden of complete spring serves as a fine model for other gardens.

emperor qianlong frequently visited this compound. (along the lakeside by the marble boat) now we have returned from the back of longevity hill to the front. there is the famous marble boat. this structure is 36 meters in length and its body was made of marble. on top of it is a two storeyed structure. the floor was paved with colored bricks. all of the windows are inlaid with multi-colored glass and the ceiling was decorated with carved bricks. the drainage system channels rain water down through four hollow concrete pillars and into the lake through the mouth of dragon heads. according to a book written by emperor qianlong, the boat was used for enjoying the scenery and was supposed to be symbolic of the stability of the qing dynasty. halfway up the slope there stands the hall for listening to orioles . the ancient chinese liken the warble of an oriole to beautiful songs and melodies, hence the name of the hall which used to be a theater. now the hall is one of the most famous restaurants in china, featuring imperial dishes and desserts. it is a must for many foreign visitors to have lunch here when then come to beijing. more than one hundred heads of state worldwide have dined here and the late premier zhou enlai has held banquets here in honor of state guests. (sightseers who want to try the restaurant can go boating after they eat. those who do not can go abroad right away. those who do not feel like taking the boat can stoll along the long corridor to the outside of the east gate). (boating on kunmin lake) we are now going to enjoy the lakeside scenery from a pleasure boat.

as a main part of the summer palace, kunming lake covers an area of 220 hectares, or three fourths of the combined space of this summer resort. this natural lake is more than 3500 years old.

this lake was originally called wengshan lake. in 1749 emperor qianlong ordered the construction of qingyi garden, the predecessor of the summer palace. involving nearly 10,000 laborers, the lake was expanded and turned into a peach-shaped reservoir, the first of its kind for beijing.

from 1990 to 1991, the beijing municipal government ordered the first dredging of the lake in 240 years .involving 200,000 men and hundreds of dredgers and other tools, a total of 625,600 cubic meters of sludge was dredged and 205 bombs dropped by the japanese during the anti-japanese war were removed. the summer palace set a precedent for sightseeing by boat. there used to be a large imperial flotilla, of which the ―kunming merry dragon‖ was the most famous. it was destroyed by the anglo-french allied forces in 1860. to make the tour of the summer palace a more pleasant one, a large pleasure boat ―tai he ‖ (supreme harmony )was built. this double –decked boat is 37.09 meters long,8,59 meters wide and 10.49 meters high. it can travel at a speed of 9 kilometer per hour. small pleasure boats are also available to tourist. another major spot of interest on the western causeway is jingming (bright view ) hall. both its front and rear face the lake. this structure also features three two- storeyed halls of varying heights. our tour is drawing to a close as we approach the shore. today we only visited the major scenic areas of the summer palace. i have left other spot of interest for your next visit. i will show you out through the east gate. i hope you enjoyed today` s tour. thank you .good-bye and good luck. 天安门

Tian’anmen Rostrum

Tian’anmen( the Gate of Heavenly Peace), is located in the center of Beijing. It was first built in 1417 and named Chengtianmen( the Gate of Heavenly Succession). At the end of the Ming Dynasty, it was seriously damaged by war. When it was rebuilt under the Qing in 1651, it was renamed Tian’anmen, and served as the main entrance to the Imperial City, the administrative and residential quarters for court officials and retainers. The southern sections of the Imperial City wall still stand on both sides of the Gate. The tower at the top of the gate is nine-room wide and five –room deep. According to the Book of Changes, the two numbers nine and five, when combined, symbolize the supreme status of a sovereign. During the Ming and Qing dynasties, Tian’anmen was the place where state ceremonies took place. The most important one of them was the issuing of imperial edicts, which followed these steps:

1) The Minister of Rites would receive the edict in Taihedian( Hall of Supreme Harmony), where the Emperor was holding his court. The minister would then carry the decree on a yunpan( tray of cloud), and withdraw from the hall via Taihemen( Gate of supreme Harmony) 2) The Minister would put the tray in a miniature longting( dragon pavilion). Beneath a yellow umbrella and carry it via Wumen( Meridian Gate), to Tian’anmen Gate tower.

3) A courtier would be invested to proclaim the edict. The civil and military officials lining both sides of the gateway beneath the tower would prostrate themselves in the direction of the emperor in waiting for the decree to the proclaimed. 4) The courtier would then put the edict in a phoenix-shaped wooden box and lower it from the tower by means of a silk cord. The document would finally be carried in a similar tray of cloud under a yellow umbrella to the Ministry of Rites. 5) The edict, copied on yellow paper, would be made known to the whole country. Such a process was historically recorded as ― Imperial Edict Issued by Golden Phoenix‖.

During the Ming and Qing dynasties Tian’anmen was the most important passage. It was this gate that the Emperor and his retinue would go through on their way to the altars for ritual and religious activities.

On the Westside of Tian’anmen stands ZhongshanPark( Dr. Sun Yat-sen’s Park), and on the east side, the Working People’s Cultural Palave. The Park was formerly called Shejitan( Altar of Land and Grain), built in 1420 for offering sacrificial items to the God of Land. It was opened to the public as a park in 1914 and its name was changed in 1928 to the present one in memory of the great pioneer of the Chinese Democratic Revolution. The Working People’s Cultural Palace used to be Taimiao( the Supreme Ancestral Temple), where tablets of the deceased dynastic rulers were kept. The stream in front of Tian’anmen is called Waijinshuihe( Outer Golden River),with seven marble bridges spanning over it . Of these seven bridges,historical records say the middle one was for the exclusive use of the emperor and was accordingly called Yuluqiao( Imperial Bridge). The bridges flanking it on either side were meant for the members of the royal family and were therefore called Wanggongqiao( Royal’s Bridges). Farther away on each side of the two were bridges for officials ranking above the third order and were named Pinjiqiao( ministerial Bridges). The remaining two bridges were for the use by the retinue below the third order and wre called Gongshengqiao( common Bridges). They anr the one in front of the Supreme Ancestral Temple to the east and the one in front of the Altar of land and Grain to the west. The two stone lions by the Gate of Tian’anmen, one on each side were meant as sentries. They gaze toward the middle axis, guarding the emperor’s walkway. In front of the gate stands a pair of marble columns called Huabiao. They are elaborately cut in bas-relief following the pattern of a legendary dragon. Behind the gate stands another pair of similar columns. The story of Huabiao may be traced to a couple of sources. One of the versions accredits its invention to one of the Chinese sage kings named Yao, who was said to have set up a wooden pillar in order to allow the ordinary people to expose evil-doers, hence it was originally called a slander pillar. Later it ws reduced to a signpost, and now it serves as an ornament. The beast sitting on the top of the column is called‖ hou‖, a legendary animal, which is said to have been a watcher of an emperor’s behaviour. He was doing such duties as warning the emperor against staying too long outside the palace or indulging in pleasure and urging him to go to the people for their complaints or return in due time. Therefore, the two pairs of beasts were given the names‖ Wangjunhui‖( Expecting the emperor’s coming back) and ― wangjunchu‖( Expecting the emperor’s going out) respectinvely.

In the old days, Tian’anmen, as a part of the Imperial City, was meant for important occasions. The two rows of chaofang( antechamber), on the sides behind the main gate, wre reserved for civil and military members of the government waiting for imperial audience and in front of the gate, were offices of imperial administration. On October 1, 1949, chairman Mao Zedong proclaimed on Tian’anmen Rostrum the founding of the People’s Republic of China. Since then Tian’anmen has been the symbol of New Chinea. Chairman Mao’s portrait is hung above the central entrance, flanked by two slogans:‖ Long Live the Great Unity of the Peoples of the World‖. Today , the splendour of Tian’anmen attracts million of visitors from all over the world. The Rostrum on its top was opened in 1988 to the public for the first time in its history. It offers a panoramic view of the Square and the city proper. Tian’anmen Square Situated due south of Tian’anmen, the Square has an area of 44 hectares( 109 acres) that can accommodate as many as one million people for public gatherings. It has witnessed may historical events in China’s modern history and is a place for celebrations on such festive days as international Labour Day on May 1st and national Day on October 1st. Around the Square are several famous buildings: 1 The Great Hall of the People This is one of the largest congressional buildings in the world. Built in 1959, the hall consists of three parts: a 10,000-seat auditorium in the center, a banquet hall in the north wing facing Chang’an Street, with a seating capacity of 5,000, and offices for the Standing Committee of the National Peoples’ Congress of China in the south. In addition, thirty-four reception chambers are named after various provinces, autonomous regions and municipalities directly unde the Central Government, plus Hong Kong and Macao. Each is different from the other in decoration and furnishings to stress their local features. 2 The Museum of Chinese History and the Museum of the Chinese Revolution These two museums were also built in 1959. the museum of Chinese History houses a permanent exhibition in four parts, covering the entire process of Chinese history spanning from 1.7 million years ago to 1919: 1) The Primitive Society( 1.7 million years ago to the 21st century BC); 2) The Slave Society(21st century BC to 476 BC.); 3) The Feudal Society(475 BC. To 1840 AD.); 4) The Semi-Colonial and Semi- Fedual Society(1840 to 1919.) The Museum of the Chinese Revolution covers the period from 1919 to 1949. 3 The Monument to the People’s Heroes the monument was built in memory of thousands of martyrs who died for the revolutionary cause of the Chinese people. Its construction began on August 1, 1952 and was not completed until 1958. in the form of an obelisk, the Monument as made of more than 17,000 pieces of tranite and white marble. The purple piece inlaid in the front of the Monument was brought from Qingdao, Shandong Province. It is 38 meters(124ft 8 in) high, the loftiest of its kind ever seen in the country. Not only is it an historic memorial for immortal heroes, but also it is an artistic work of excellent architectural value.

On the front side of the Monument is an engraved inscription in Chinese characters written by Chairman Mao Zedong, which reads‖ Eternal Glory to the People’s Heroes!‖. On the back of the Monument is an article written by Chairman Mao, but in Chinese calligraphy by the late Premier Zhou Enlai.

At the top of the Monument are eight gigantic carved wreathes of such flowers as peony, lotus and chrysanthemum, symbolizing nobility, purity, and fortitude. At the base of the monument are eight marble reliefs depicting the Chinese historic events since 1840. They are:

1) The Burning of Opium in 1840: 2) The uprising of 1851 in Jintian, Guangxi; 3) The Revolution of 1911; 4) The May Fourth Movement of 1919; 5) The May 30th Movement of 1925; 6) The Uprising of 1927 in Nanchang, Jiangxi; 7) The War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression from 1937 to 1945; 8) The Victorious Crossing over the Yangtze River by the Peoples’s Liberation Army in 1949. This relief is flanked by two smaller ones—― Supplying the Front‖ and ― Greeting the P.L.A.‖.

4 Chairman Mao’s Mausoleum Chairman Mao Zedong, the founder of the People’s Pepublic of China, passed away on Sepember 9, 197 6. In commemoration of this great man, a mausoleum began to be constructed in November 1976, and was completes in August the following year. The Mausoleum was officially opened on September 9, 1977.

The mausoleum is surrounded by four groups of sculpture. East of the northern entrance is the sculpture depicting the period of the New Democratic Revolution( 1919-1949), and west of it is the one signifying the great achievements of the Chinese people during the period of slcialist revolution and construction since 1949. The sculptures in front of the southern gate are figures of workers, peasants soldiers, intellectuals, technicians and children.

Inside the Mausoleum are three main sections: A white marble statue of Chairman Mao is mounted on a platform in the front lobby. On the wall behind the statue is a 24-metre-long( 79-foot-long) tapestry, a fine needlepoint work with beautiful landscapes of the country. In the main hall there is a crystal coffin, in which Chairman Mao’s body lies stately with the Communist Party’s flag covering over him.

On the wall of the southern lobby, a poem by Chairman Mao and in his own calligraphy is inscribed in gold inlay. It expresses his full great expectations for the country.

Tian’ anmen Square has now completed its renovation after eight months’ hard work to welcome the 50th anniversary of the People’s Republic in 1999. 天坛

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. (Along the Southern Sacred Road leading to the Circular Mound Altar) 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

第二篇:北京长城英文导游词

The Great Wall, like the pyramids of Egypt, the Taj Mahal(1) in India and the Hanging Garden of Babylon(2), is one of the great wonders of the world. Starting out in the east on the banks of the Yalu River in Liaoning province, the Wall stretches westwards for 12,700 kilometers to Jiayuguan in the Gobi desert, thus known as the Ten Thousand Li Wall

Historical records trace the construction of the origin of the Wall to defensive fortification back to the year 656 B.C. during the reign of King Cheng of the States of Chu. Its construction continued throughout the Warring States period in the fifth Century B.C. when ducal states Yan, Zhao, Wei, and Qin were frequently plundered by the nomadic peoples living north of the Yinshan and Yanshan mountain ranges. Walls, then, were built separately by these ducal states to ward off such harassments. Later in 221 B.C., when Qin conquered the other states and unified China, Emperor Qinshihuang ordered the connection of these individual walls and further extensions to form the basis of the present great wall. As a matter of fact, a separate outer wall was constructed north of the Yinshan range in the Han Dynasty(206 BC--1644 BC.), which went to ruin through years of neglect. In the many intervening centuries, succeeding dynasties rebuilt parts of the Wall. The most extensive reinforcements and renovations were carried out in the Ming Dynasty (1368--1644) when altogether 18 lengthy stretches were reinforced with bricks and rocks. it is mostly the Ming Dynasty Wall that visitors see today. The Great Wall is divided into two sections, the east and west, with Shanxi province as the dividing line. The west part is a rammed earth construction, about 5.3 meters high on average. In the eastern part, the core of the Wall is rammed earth as well, but the outer shell is reinforced with bricks and rocks. The most imposing and best preserved sections of the Great Wall are at Badaling and Mutianyu, not far from Beijing and both are open to visitors. The Wall of those sections is 7.8 meters high and 6.5 meters wide at its base, narrowing to 5.8 meters on the ramparts, wide enough for five horses to gallop abreast. There are ramparts, embrasures, peep-holes and apertures for archers on the top, besides gutters with gargoyles to drain rain-water off the parapet walk. Two-storied watch-towers are built at approximately 400-meters internals. The top stories of the watch-tower were designed for observing enemy movements, while the first was used for storing grain, fodder, military equipment and gunpowder as well as for quartering garrison soldiers. The highest watch-tower at Badaling standing on a hill-top, is reached only after a steep climb, like "climbing a ladder to heaven". The view from the top is rewarding, hoverer. The Wall follows the contour of mountains that rise one behind the other until they finally fade and merge with distant haze. A signal system formerly existed that served to communicate military information to the dynastic capital. This consisted of beacon towers on the Wall itself and on mountain tops within sight of the Wall. At the approach of enemy troops, smoke signals gave the alarm from the beacon towers in the daytime and bonfire did this at night.

Emergency signals could be relayed to the capital from distant places within a few hour long before the invention of anything like modern communications. There stand 14 major passes (Guan, in Chinese) at places of strategic importance along the Great Wall, the most important being Shanghaiguan and Jiayuguan. Yet the most impressive one is Juyongguan, about 50 kilometers northwest of Beijing. Known as "Tian Xia Di YI Guan" (The First pass Under Heaven), Shanghaiguan pass is situated between two sheer cliffs forming a neck connecting north China with the northeast. It had been, therefore, a key junction contested by all strategists and many famous battles were fought here. It was the gate of Shanghaiguan that the Ming general Wu Sangui opened to the Manchu army to suppress the peasant rebellion led by Li Zicheng and so surrendered the whole Ming empire to the Manchus, leading to the foundation of the Qing Dynasty. (1644-1911) Jiayuguan pass was not so much as the "Strategic pass Under the Heaven" as an important communication center in Chinese history. Cleft between the snow-capped Qilian Mountains and the rolling Mazong Mountains, it was on the ancient Silk Road. Zhang Qian, the first envoy of Emperor Wu Di of the Western Han dynasty (206 B.C-24 A.D), crossed it on his journey to the western regions. Later, silk flowed to the west through this pass too. The gate-tower of Jiayuguan is an attractive building of excellent workmanship. It has an inner city and an outer city, the former square in shape and surrounded by a wall 11.7 meters high and 730 meters in circumference. It has two gates, an eastern one and a western one. On each gate sits a tower facing each other. the four corners of the wall are occupied by four watch towers, one for each. Juyongguan, a gateway to ancient Beijing from Inner Mongolia, was built in a 15-kilometer long ravine flanked by mountains. The cavalrymen of Genghis Khan swept through it in the 13th century. At the center of the pass is a white marble platform named the Cloud terrace, which was called the Crossing-Street Dagoba, since its narrow arch spanned the main street of the pass and on the top of the terrace there used to be three stone dagobas, built in the Yuan Daynasty(1206-1368). At the bottom of the terrace is a half-octagonal arch gateway, interesting for its wealth of detail: it is decorated with splendid images of Buddha and four celestial guardians carved on the walls. The vividness of their expressions is matched by the exquisite workmanship. such grandiose relics works, with several stones pieced together, are rarely seen in ancient Chinese carving. The gate jambs bear a multi-lingual Buddhist sutra, carved some 600 years ago in Sanskrit(3), Tibetan, Mongolian, Uigur(4), Han Chinese and the language of Western Xia. Undoubtedly, they are valuable to the study of Buddhism and ancient languages. As a cultural heritage, the Wall belongs not only to China but to the world. The Venice charter says: "Historical and cultural architecture not only includes the individual architectural works, but also the urban or rural environment that witnessed certain civilizations, significant social developments or historical events." The Great Wall is the largest of such historical and cultural architecture, and that is why it continues to be so attractive to people all over the world. In 1987, the Wall was listed by UNESCO as a world cultural heritage site.

There stand 14 major passes (Guan, in Chinese) at places of strategic importance along the Great Wall, the most important being Shanghaiguan and Jiayuguan. Yet the most impressive one is Juyongguan, about 50 kilometers northwest of Beijing.

Known as "Tian Xia Di YI Guan" (The First pass Under Heaven), Shanghaiguan pass is situated between two sheer cliffs forming a neck connecting north China with the northeast. It had been, therefore, a key junction contested by all strategists and many famous battles were fought here. It was the gate of Shanghaiguan that the Ming general Wu Sangui opened to the Manchu army to suppress the peasant rebellion led by Li Zicheng and so surrendered the whole Ming empire to theManchus, leading to the foundation of the Qing Dynasty. (1644-1911)

Jiayuguan pass was not so much as the "Strategic pass Under the Heaven" as an important communication center in Chinese history. Cleft between the snow-capped Qilian Mountains and the rolling Mazong Mountains, it was on the ancient Silk Road. Zhang Qian, the first envoy of Emperor Wu Di of the Western Han dynasty (206 B.C-24 A.D), crossed it on his journey to the western regions. Later, silk flowed to the west through this pass too. The gate-tower of Jiayuguan is an attractive building of excellent workmanship. It has an inner city and an outer city, the former square in shape and surrounded by a wall 11.7 meters high and 730 meters in circumference. It has two gates, an eastern one and a western one. On each gate sits a tower facing each other. the four corners of the wall are occupied by four watch towers, one for each.

Juyongguan, a gateway to ancient Beijing from Inner Mongolia, was built in a 15-kilometer long ravine flanked by mountains. The cavalrymen of Genghis Khan swept through it in the 13th century. At the center of the pass is a white marble platform named the Cloud terrace, which was called the Crossing-Street Dagoba, since its narrow arch spanned the main street of the pass and on the top of the terrace there used to be three stone dagobas, built in the Yuan Daynasty(1206-1368). At the bottom of the terrace is a half-octagonal arch gateway, interesting for its wealth of detail: it is decorated with splendid images of Buddha and four celestial guardians carved on the walls. The vividness of their expressions is matched by the exquisite workmanship. such grandiose relics works, with several stones pieced together, are rarely seen in ancient Chinese carving. The gate jambs bear a multi-lingual Buddhist sutra, carved some 600 years ago in Sanskrit(3), Tibetan, Mongolian, Uigur(4), Han Chinese and the language of Western Xia. Undoubtedly, they are valuable to the study of Buddhism and ancient languages.

As a cultural heritage, the Wall belongs not only to China but to the world. The Venice charter says: "Historical and cultural architecture not only includes the individual architectural works, but also the urban or rural environment that witnessed certain civilizations, significant social developments or historical events." The Great Wall is the largest of such historical and cultural architecture, and that is why it continues to be so attractive to people all over the world. In 1987, the Wall was listed by UNESCO as a world cultural heritage site.

亲爱的游客们:

您们好!我是来自莞英旅行社的导游,大家可以叫我为“老King”或者“King导”,祝大家玩得开心!

我们边走边讲关于长城的事情:长城是世界闻名的景区。远看长城,它像一条大长龙,从东头的山海关,到西头嘉峪关可有一万三千多里长哩!长城是古代劳动人民的结晶,也是中国古代的象征。

现在大家可以看到我们脚下的大方砖,它们铺得十分整齐,城墙很宽,五六匹马可以并行。大家再看城墙外沿上的这些两米多高的齿形墙,这叫垛子。凹下去的部分叫瞭望口,方形洞叫射口,供瞭望和射击用。每隔三百多米就有一座方形城台,这是屯兵的堡垒,打仗时靠着在堡垒上点锋火互相呼应。所以说万里长城不只是一道高墙,而是城关相连,锋火报警的防护体系!长城不仅历史悠久,还有许多相关的传说:“孟姜女哭长城”就是一个,孟姜女的丈夫——范喜良在修筑长城的时候累死了,被埋在长城底下。孟姜女得知这个消息后千里寻夫,它来到了长城都找不到她丈夫,孟姜女就放声痛哭,声音惊天动地,八百里长城突然倒下。这个故事不是真的,但告诉我们修筑长城的辛苦!

长城还有一些有名诗句呢!陆游就写下“长城天际高,三十万人守,一日诏书来,扶苏先授首。”毛泽东也写了“不到长城非好汉。”长城还有很多风景,有机会请你细细游赏!八达岭长城导游词2

各位亲爱的游客,

大家好!我是你们的导游——— 朱倩妤,现在您所乘坐的汽车是通往中国第一名胜和中国旅游点的代表——— 长城。

长城,是中华民族文明的象征,是华夏儿女的骄傲。它纵横交错,绵延起伏于中国辽阔的土地上。东西相距长达5000多公里,因此被称为万里长城,是月球上“唯一能看得见的人工工程”。美国前总统里根曾赞叹道:“长城是世界上最伟大的传奇之一,确实令人鼓舞。人们在上面爬坡都感到吃力,可以想象当年建造长城时需要什么样的智慧和力量。”下面就让我们一同去感受长城的雄伟吧。

这一段长城修筑在八达岭上,是用巨大的条石和城砖筑成的。城墙顶上铺着方砖,十分平整,像很宽的马路,五六匹马可以并行。城墙外沿有两米多高的成排的垛子,垛子上有方形的?望口和射口,供?望和射击用。城墙顶上,每隔300多米就有一座方形的城台,是屯兵的堡垒。打仗的时候,城台之间可以互相呼应。关于长城,它还拥有一个感人的爱情故事,秦朝时期,有个女子名叫孟姜女,一天,她在自己家里的葡萄架下发现一个名叫范喜良的人,是逃难的,因为当时秦始皇为了修筑长城,到处抓壮丁做劳工,孟姜女把范喜良救了下来,并结为夫妻。成亲那天,范喜良被抓到长城去做工了。孟姜女一路吃了不少苦头去寻找丈夫,却听到长工们说:“已经死了,尸首已经填了城脚了!”猛地听到这个噩耗,孟姜女痛哭起来,整整哭了3天3夜,天昏地暗,天地感动。天越来越沉,只听到“哗啦”一声,一段长城被哭倒了,露出来的正是范喜良的尸首。

长城,用“举世无双,独一无二”来形容它,一点也不过分。今天,就让我们怀着“不到长城非好汉”的心态登上它,领略它的雄伟、壮观。八达岭长城导游词4

各位游客,大家好!我是你们的导演颜诗颖,大家可以叫我小颜或颜导。欢迎大家到八达岭观光旅游。今天有幸陪同大家一起参观,我很高兴,希望各位能在八达岭度过一段美好的时光。

游客们,在我们眼前的就是著名的八达岭长城。长城是世界闻名的八大奇迹之一,它东起山海关,西至嘉峪关,足足有一万三千多里长,像一条长龙盘旋在中国北方辽阔的土地上。它不仅是古代劳动人民的血汗和智慧的结晶,还是中国古代文化的象征和中华民族的骄傲。

游客们,现在我们已经登上了长城,您可以发现,这里是人山人海,所以各位要小心谨慎,以免发生意外。现在您向远处看,就可以发现这里的长城分为南北两峰,蜿蜒盘旋于山脊上,景色十分壮观。这高大坚固的长城是用巨大的条石和城砖筑成的。我们站在城墙顶上,您会发现这里像很宽的马路,可供五六匹马并行。现在请到我这边来,看到我身后这成排的垛子了吗?它有着两米多高,上面有瞭望口和射口,可供瞭望和射击用。现在让我们把目光转移,那高高的城台叫烽火台,它分为两层,上面是瞭望台,下层驻扎着许多士兵。士兵们一旦发现敌人,就点燃烽火,将消息传到远方。可见,烽火台在当时的军事中有着多么重要的作用。

站在长城上,踏着脚下的方砖,扶着墙上的条石,您一定会自然地想起古代修筑长城的劳动人民。我们单看这数不清的条石,一块有两三千斤重,那时候没有火车,没有起重机,就靠着无数的肩膀和无数的手,一步一步抬上这陡峭的山岭。多少劳动人民的血汗和智慧,才凝结成前不见头,后不见尾的万里长城。

现在让我来给您讲一个关于长城的故事。传说,有一对夫妻,男的叫范喜良,女的叫孟姜女,在他们结婚时,秦始皇召集百万民夫修筑长城,范喜良也被抓去了。孟姜女在家里苦苦等待夫君,日复一日,年复一年,孟姜女始终没有等到夫君。于是,孟姜女来到长城脚下万里寻夫。不料夫君早已成了一堆白骨,悲伤之下,孟姜女哭倒了长城,自己也成了望夫石。这就是《孟姜女哭长城》的故事。您听了这个故事,是不是对长城有了新的认识了呢?八达岭长城导游词5

尊敬的各位旅客,大家好,今天由我为大家作解说,大家可以叫我张导,我们现在正前去的是被列为中古世界七大奇迹之一、世界文化遗产之一的------万里长城.

说起长城,那可是历史悠久,!它是在春秋战国时期,为了抵御塞北游牧部落联盟侵袭而修筑的。主要遗址为建于14世纪的明长城,历代长城为21196.18千米,经仔细测量,明长城总长为8851.8千米,长城是我国古代劳动人民的汗水与智慧凝成的,它是我国历史久远的见证,大家知道宇航员进入太空后,第一眼看到的中国的什么吗!那便是万里长城!它与意大利的罗马斗兽场、利比亚沙漠边缘的亚历山大地下陵墓等被列为中古世界七大奇迹之一!同时,万里长城与1987年12月列入《世界文化遗产名录》

关于长城,他还有一个美丽的传说,那就是《孟姜女哭长城》,它主要讲的是一位书生为逃离修筑长城的苦工,四处逃亡,逃进了一个叫孟姜女的姑娘家,他俩结婚才三天,书生就被抓走了,孟姜女历尽千辛万苦来到长城!却得知书生已经死了,她伤心欲绝,直哭了三天三夜,忽然只听轰隆隆一阵巨响,孟姜女把长城哭倒了。

快看,长城像一条长龙,纵横交错,在山峦之间,真是壮观无比!那烽火台屹立在长城上,像哨兵一样!百闻不如一见!两小时后集合,去吧!八达岭长城导游词6

各位游客:

大家好!

欢迎大家来长城观光旅游!我姓徐,今天由我带大家游览世界遗产——长城。

毛主席在一首诗中写到:“不到长城非好汉”说明了毛主席解放全中国的胸怀大志,也鼓舞了红军北上的士气。同时也说明了长城建筑的伟大,所以说不到长城非好汉,到了长城不看最遗憾。因为长城是世界七大奇迹之一,它是我国古代劳动人民的血汗和智慧凝结而成的,也是中国古代文化的象征和中华民族的骄傲。来华访问的各国首领都要到长城观光一下长城的风景。

现在我们已经来到了著名的八达岭风景区。两旁的山上到处是苍枕翠柏,可以听到婉转的鸟鸣声和潺潺的流水声,处处充满诗情画意。您再向远看,长城像一条卧在山间的巨龙,在崇山峻岭间蜿蜓盘旋。从东头的山海关到西头的嘉峪关,全长有一万三千多里。这里气象变化万千,景物壮观。长城依山而建,高低起伏,曲折绵延。这段长城的墙体是用整齐巨大的条石铺成的,单看这数不清的条石,一块有两三千斤重,那时候没有火车、汽车,没有起重机,就靠着无数的肩膀无数的双手,一步一步地抬上这陡峭的山岭。

八达岭海拔1000米,绵延曲折的长城如龙腾飞于崇山峻岭之上。它是古代建筑的杰出代表。长城因山势而雄伟,山势因长城更加险峻。

下面我们就要到烽火台去看。烽火台叫烽燧狼烟台。它是不和长城相连的独立建筑,一旦敌人来犯,就点燃烽火通报军情。

说到长城,当年修长城时,留下许多可歌可泣的感人故事,当年年轻强壮的男人被迫背景离乡,撇下自己的妻儿老小,受尽了折磨,甚至为修长城命洒黄泉,其中最为人知的就是孟姜女哭长城的故事。据说她的哭声感动了苍天,顿时一段长城突然倒塌。给我们后人留下了精神财富。游客们,现在我们已经开始顺势走下长城。游客们!站在长城上,踏着脚下的方砖,扶着墙上的条石,您是不是想到了当年修筑长城的宏伟场面,是不是想起了古代修筑长城勤劳、智慧的劳动人民了?

亲爱的游客们,今天的游览到此结束,欢迎下次再来。八达岭长城导游词7

欢迎大家来到世界遗产之一——长城。我是大家的导游,姓陶,大家就叫我陶导吧!下面我就要陪同大家一起攀登并简单介绍长城。

大家看长城,它是由巨大的方砖和条石筑成的,由蛋清和糯米汁混合起来的黏液粘。城墙顶上铺着方砖,像很宽的马路,五六匹马可以并行。城墙外沿有两米多高的成排的垛子,垛子上有方形的瞭望口和射口,用来瞭望和射击。一座座城台均匀地建在长城上,打仗时可以用来屯兵。

现在请大家想象,我们现在踩着的长城,是多少劳动人民的血汗和智慧换来的呀!单看这数不清的条石,一块就有两三斤重,就靠着无数的肩膀无数的手,一步一步抬上这陡峭的山岭。这长城,是中华民族共同的骄傲啊!

关于长城,还有一个动人的民间传说。有一个普通农家女叫孟姜女,丈夫新婚当天被衙役抓去充当修长城的民夫。孟姜女风餐露宿来到长城后,知道丈夫早已累死了,她就伤心地大哭起来,哭到哪里哪里的长城就“轰隆”“轰隆”倒了,长城不一会就被哭倒了八百里。

我给大家就介绍到这里了,下面留出一个半小时让大家自己游赏,请注意安全,也不要乱吐乱扔乱攀摘,3:30我在这个老地方等大家集合,一定要准时回来哦。八达岭长城导游词8

大家好!欢迎大家来到北京,我们今天的第一站就是长城。唐代李益曾言一首《登长城》:汉家今上郡,秦塞古长城。有日云长惨,无风沙自惊。当今圣天子,不战四夷平。常言到不登长城非好汉。然而我们终于来到长城上了。在此我要向诸位介绍一下长城的概况。

长城位于北京的北面,始建于春秋战国时期.那时各个诸侯国为了互相防御,就在自己境内地势险要的地方修筑长城.秦始皇嬴政在统一中国后,为了防御北方匈奴的入侵,便将各诸侯国的长城连接起来,并将其延长,号称“万里长城”.

我国曾经出现了三个修筑长城的高峰,分别是秦长城,汉长城和明长城。而我们今天所看到的八达岭长城就是明长城的一部分.长城在我国古代最原始的目的虽然是防御,但是它同时还起到了其他的作用.第一就是军事作用,第二则是经济作用,它不仅促进了屯田的开发和北疆经济的发展,而且也是中原的百姓安居乐业,第三是促进了各民族的融合.此外,它还保护了通讯和促进了对外开放。

长城是世界闻名的奇迹之一,它像一条巨龙盘踞在中国北方的辽阔的土地上。它是中国古代劳动人民血法的结晶,也是中国古代文化的象征和中华民族的骄傲。

游客们,我们已经来到了著名的八达岭长城,您向远处看,可以发现这里的长城分为南、北两峰,蜿蜒于山脊之上,龙腾虎跃、气象万千,景色十分壮观。往下面看是有两个门洞和U字形的城墙缎怕谳瓮城。在瓮城墙上内外两面都有垛口墙,四面拒敌。倘若敌人攻破关门涌入城内,将受到四面守城将围歼,敌人如落瓮中。瓮城是长城的一个重要组成部分。它一般都建在地形险要的交通要道上。八达岭的瓮城也不例外。建在山脊上,受地形限制,依山就势,东低西高,东窄西宽,仅有5000平方米。瓮城内无井,水源缺乏,平常驻兵不多,守城部队驻在西北三里的岔道城。瓮城中原有一座“察院公馆”,是供皇帝路过驻跸或官员停留住宿的。瓮城两门之间相距63.9米,西门楣题额“北门锁钥”,它的用意我在前面已经讲过。城门洞上,古进安装有巨大的双扇木门,门内安装有木顶柱和锁闩。平时,大门敞开,行人商旅自由出入;战时城门紧闭,严实坚固;一旦发出反击号令,城门洞又是千军万马发起冲锋的出口。瓮城的东门楣题额为“居庸外填”,修建于明嘉靖十八年。在“居庸外镇”关城的城台上,原来嵌有一块石碑,为明朝万历年间刻制。从碑文可以看一带长城,先后经80多年时间才完成。这碑中还记录着修筑长城的时间、长度、主持官和管工头、烧头、窑匠头、泥瓦匠头和名字,以明确责任。站在城上向下看,我们中以看到来往不断的车辆和从门洞穿过的.游人。这里不仅是古代重要的军事防御关口,而且也是交通要道。从这里南通昌平、北京,北去延庆,西北往宣化、张家口,“路从此分,四通八达”。八达岭也因此得名。

北8楼是八达岭长城海拔最高的楼,高达888.9米,建筑也很有特色。原来还可登上敌楼观山望景,但目前为了保护文物封了楼门。 唐代汪遵的《长城》说到,秦筑长城比铁牢,蕃戎不敢过临洮。虽然万里连云际,争及尧阶三尺高从关城城台到南峰的最高处南4楼,城墙长685.8米,高度上升142.4米,特别是南3楼至南4楼之间,山脊狭窄,山势陡峭,长城逶迤400多米。城顶最险处,坡度约为70度,几乎是直上直下。南1楼和南2楼,都没有修复二层,从南3楼遗存的柱础看,原来也有铺房。 南峰长城以南4楼地势最高,海拔803.6米。登楼眺望,长城自西南向东北蜿蜓于山脊之上,宛如苍龙,宏伟壮观。从南4楼到南7楼,高度逐渐下降。南5楼与南6楼之间在长城的内侧距城墙30米的山脊上,耸立着一座白色的小亭,这就是1987年6月落成的“贵州省修复长城纪念碑亭”。南6楼是一座铺房,铺房建在上层的顶上,面阔三间,硬山顶,红柱子,灰色瓦,小巧玲珑。

今天的长城,早已失去军事价值,而以其特有的魅力,吸引着广大中外游客,成为举世闻名的旅游胜地。随着旅游业的发展,长城这一中华民族的象征,全世界重要的文化遗产,会焕发出新的生机。它不仅是中华民族勤劳、智慧的结晶,也是古代建筑工程的杰出代表。 登上八达岭长城,极目远望,山峦起伏,雄沉刚劲的北方山势,尽收眼底。长城因山势而雄伟,山势因长城更加险峻。游客们,现在我们已经开始顺势走下长城。游客们!踏着这脚下的方砖,扶着墙上的条石,你有没有感受到古长城留下来的气息呢。八达岭长城导游词9

各位青年们,大家好!我是你们的导游小林。这次由我全程为大家讲解和服务,希望能在旅途中和大家度过美好的时光!长城游客众多,山高坡陡,请大家一定注意安全,保持景区清洁哦!

游客们,现在我们已经到八达岭长城脚下了。八达岭长城是万里长城的精华,在明长城中,独具代表性。该段长城地势险恶,居高临下,是明代重要的军事关隘和首都北京的重要屏障。八达岭长城地理环境优越,自古以来就是通往山西、内蒙古、张家口的交通要道。

请大家看我右手边的那五尊古炮,这是当时最先进的武器之一。最大一尊炮筒长285米,口径105毫米,射程达千米以上,威力甚大。炮身上刻有敕赐神威大将军字样。另外四尊牛腿小炮,为1957年整修长城时的出土文物,同时还发现数十枚炮弹,均为明朝制品。

我们现在走上城墙了。长城城墙高6——9米,顶宽4.5米——5.8米。大部分墙顶宽阔平坦,可以五马并骑、十人并行。墙两侧用花岗岩石包砌,最长石条达3.1米,重1.5——1.7吨。墙顶两边砖砌矮墙,叫垛墙。凹进去的是垛口,设有瞭望口,用来观察敌情。墙下部砌有射孔,可以射箭投石。部分射孔和瞭望孔的砖面上雕有花纹图案。大家可以仔细看一看摸一摸!

大家看,我们现在来到了烽火台。烽火台是为防止敌人入侵而建的,遇有敌情发生,则白天施烟,晚上放火,台台相连,传递讯息。守台士兵发现敌人来犯时,立刻于台上燃起烽火,邻台见到后依样随之,这样敌情便可迅速传到中枢部门。大家可以仔细看一看,但人比较拥挤,大家要小心啊!

大家好,这是我们行程的最后一个景点——好汉坡。好汉坡是一段陡坡,顶峰海拔868米,有不到长城非好汉的石碑,取自毛主席诗句。请大家拍照留念!

各位,我们的行程接近尾声,很高兴和大家有缘相识,如果对我的讲解有任何不满意的地方,请大家指正!欢迎大家再来长城,再来北京!八达岭长城导游词10

各位亲爱的游客朋友们:

大家早上好!欢迎来到八达岭长城风景区,我是你们的导游,我叫李威成,大家可以叫我李导,希望我的服务能让大家充分了解八达岭长城,获得满意的旅游体验。

进入景区前,我向大家简单介绍一下长城。我国的长城从东头的山海关到西头的嘉峪关,全长一共 3000多里,号称“万里长城”,是世界八大奇迹之一。它在崇山峻岭之间蜿蜒盘旋,就像一条巨龙,气魄雄伟。希望我的服务能让大家充分了解八达岭长城,并获得一次满意的旅游体验。请追随我的脚步,登上长城顶部吧。

各位游客,我们已经来到长城顶部了。

长城顶上铺着方砖,非常平坦,像普通的马路,两辆卡车可以并行。城墙外沿有成排的两米多高的垛子,垛子上有方形的瞭望口和射口,供瞭望口和射击用。城墙顶上,每隔三百多米,就有一个方形城台,那是屯兵的堡垒,打仗的时候可以互相呼应。

下面是自由活动的时候,两个小时以后再回到这里集合,在解散之前,我温馨提示一下:

一、你不要攀爬城墙外沿和内沿

二、不要在城墙上刻字、涂写和乱扔垃圾

最后,祝大家玩得快乐。八达岭长城导游词11

各位朋友,首先祝贺大家将要成为真正的好汉了,因为今天我们将登上北京的八达岭长城,真正领悟到不到长城非好汉的意境。

长城是中华民族的象征,是中国人的骄傲,这是世界上最长的古代防御性建筑。长城最早建于春秋战国时期,历经两千多年,它贯穿中国北部,蜿蜒曲折,气势磅薄,是从太空中能用人眼能看到的两处人类奇迹之一。大家都知道有首歌唱到:万里长城万里长那么长城到底有多长呢?真有万里长吗?在中国的历史上只出现过一条万里长城呢?

中国历史上的万里长城可不止一条,其长度也不一样。最早的长城出现在春秋战国时期的齐国,称齐长城。紧接着,出现了楚长城。后来燕、赵、秦等国也纷纷建起长城,防御北方的少数民族。但这些长城的长度都没有超过一万里,所以不能被称为万里长城。中国历史上真正的万里长城出现在秦始皇统一中国以后。

历史上,唐朝和元朝没有修过长城,原因是大唐国力强盛,外交成功,外藩称臣,长城存在的区域两侧都是大唐国土,所以没有修过长城。元朝是蒙古人建立的王朝,是以武力征服全球的强国,也是我国历史上版图最大的国家,谁人敢犯?再加上蒙古人就是自长城以北打进中原,又何必自筑高墙自断其路呢?

今天,长城再也不是军事防御措施了,而成为连接世界人民友谊的纽带。1987年,联合国教科文组织将长城列入《世界文化遗产目录》。

长城在崇山峻岭之间纵横起伏,都是建在山巅、山脊之上,那么修长城的都是些什么人呢?又是用了什么样的方法来修筑的呢?据史书记载,在秦朝,修长城的大多是囚犯、俘虏,后来连士兵,老百姓都参与了筑城。全国五分之一的人口都参与了筑城。很多人因不堪过度的劳累、饥饿及疾病而死,但死后不但不立碑、不表彰,就连尸体也被当作建筑材料筑入长城中,故有修万里城,筑万里人之说。所有筑城的材料完全凭劳动者的智慧和体力搬运上山。筑城用的大石条是通过山体的自然斜坡,在条石下放上滚木,利用当时的土制制滑轮拖上山来。小型的砖石是通过手递手的方式一块一块自山下传到山上,石灰及粘土是用山羊和驴等驮运上山的,人们用糯米汤及石灰粉和好后,当作粘合剂将两层城砖粘牢,历经近500年的风风雨雨至今依然牢固,真是了不起呀!八达岭长城导游词12

各位游客:

大家好,欢迎光临八达岭长城。我是xxx旅行社的导游,我叫小张。大家可以叫我张导,也可以叫我小张。今天我很高兴能陪同大家一起游览八达岭长城。

长城是世界闻名的奇迹之一,它像一条巨龙盘踞在中国北方辽阔的土地上。它是中国古代人民血汗的结晶,也是中国古代文化的象征和中华民族的骄傲。

我们今天要参观的长城是明代修筑的。它建筑雄伟,是万里长城的精华,也是时代长城中最杰出的代表。它不仅起着保护明王朝皇陵的作用,同时也是京城的西北门户。八达岭长城接待过中外游客六千多万,许多外国首脑和众多的世界风云人物登上八达岭长城。俗语说:“不到长城非好汉”不用急,您马上就成为登城的好汉了。

朋友们,我们已经来到著名的八达岭长城了。您往远处看,可以发现这里的长城分为南、北两个峰,蜿蜒于山脊之上,龙腾虎跃,气象万千,景色十分壮观。

八达岭长城的墙体平均高7.8米,墙底宽6.5米——7.5米,顶宽4.5米。往下看是由两个门洞和u字型墙组成的瓮城。由于长城是一个完整的军事防御体系,因此它不仅有瓮城和城城墙,还有传报军情的烽火台。

朋友们,由于时间关系,南峰就不登了。八达岭长城就介绍到这里。好了,如果哪位朋友对中国的长城有兴趣,可以去滚天沟停车场的中国长城博物馆参观。

随着我国旅游业的发展,长城——中华的象征,全世界重要的文化遗产,会发出新的生机,以更优质的服务迎接大家的到来。谢谢大家,我的讲解到此结束了,但愿在以后的时间里,能有机会再次为您服务,愿长城之行在你心中留下美好的回忆。

大家好,我们现在在离北京不远的八达岭长城。我姓刘,大家可以叫我刘导。

我们现在站在长城的最高处,远看长城,它像一条长龙,在崇山峻岭之间蜿蜒盘旋。从东头的山海关到西头的嘉峪关,有一万三千多里。

长城高大坚固,是用巨大的条石和城砖筑成的。城墙顶上铺着方砖,十分平整,像很宽的马路,五六匹马都可以并行。

单看这数不清的条石,一块就有两三千斤重,那时候没有火车、汽车,没有起重机,就靠这无数的肩膀无数的手,一步一步地抬上这陡峭的山岭。

我们继续往前走,城墙顶上,每隔三百多米就有一座方形的城台,是屯兵的堡垒。打仗的时候,城台之间可以互相呼应。

能搭起这么长的建筑,就是靠着无数的肩膀无数的手,一步一步的抬上这陡峭的山岭。

这样气魄雄伟的工程,在世界历史上是一个伟大的奇迹。

谢谢大家,今天的旅行结束了,再见。八达岭长城导游词13

各位亲爱的游客:

大家早上好!

欢迎来到八达岭观光景区游玩,我是李导游。今天,我很高兴能带你们去长城游览。长城东西南北交错,翻越巍巍群山,穿过茫茫草原,跨过浩瀚的沙漠,奔向苍茫的大海。今天我们游览的只是其中保存得最完整的一段——长城八达岭。

八达岭长城是明长城中的杰出代表,因为这里四通八达,故成八达岭。可能大家会问,为什么把长城修筑在这里?其实这主要是因为八达岭地区重要的地理位置。它不仅守卫着明皇陵,而且也是京师的大门。

有一句话大家一定都知道:不到长城非好汉。刚才说了这么多关于长城的事情。大家一定等不及要到长城游览一番。不用着急,马上您也要成为好汉了。八达岭长城有三台两墙组成的,什么是三台呢?我给你们介绍一下吧!三台分别是城台、敌台。其中城台构造非常简单,只是驻守的官兵避寒的地方。那敌台的构造相对就要复杂一些,分为两层,下层是由回井等字形组成,上层有垛口和望孔是观察军情和射击用的,所以这里也具有防御敌人的功能

下面就到了烽火台,又叫烽燧,狼烟台。是不和长城相连的独立建筑。一旦敌人来犯,就点燃烽火通报军情。明朝的时候,还对烽火与敌人的关系作了严格的规定:敌人百余个,燃一烟点一炮;五百人,燃两烟两炮;千人以上,三烟三炮;五千人以上,四烟四炮。就通过这种方式,在边关的军情能够飞速的传到皇宫大内。

古代城垣设施不仅修建敌楼、箭楼作用武之备,还修建魁星楼以祭把主宰文运之神魁星。西安魁星楼建在南门城楼东,后遭兵火毁坏。后来在原址上复建魁星楼,值得一看。

回头看看那雄伟的长城,这么快就要说再见了,是否有一点依依不舍呢?如果有机会能够再来游览,我一定再来给你们当导游

同学们好!欢迎你们大家来“兵马俑”博物馆参观。我是你们的导游,我姓王,请同学们跟我一起往这边走。

我们现在要去参观1号俑坑,这是最大的一个坑。东西长230米,南北宽62米,总面积14260平方米;我们看坑里的兵马俑一行行、一列列,十分整齐,排成了一个巨大的长方形军阵,就像是秦始皇当年统率的一支南征北战、所向披靡的大军。

秦始皇自13岁登基时就开始建造秦始皇陵,直到他驾崩前还没有完工。皇陵建造了38年。这座皇陵墓占地约25万平方米左右。在这陵墓周围有守卫了20__多年、占地2万亩的兵马俑方阵。

现在人们公认秦兵马俑有三大特点:一是多,现已挖掘出的兵马俑,分三个坑,约有8000多个武士俑,600多个战马俑。充分展示了秦朝统一六国的强大兵力。二是精,大到布局排阵,小到肌肤纹理无不蕴含巧思、一丝不苟。三是美,秦俑阵有令人震憾的壮丽美感、气势磅雹威武雄奇。

大兴安岭地区是我国位置最北、纬度最高的地级行政区。它东依连绵千里的小兴安岭,西临一望无际的呼伦贝尔大草原,南达辽阔肥沃的松嫩平原,北靠波涛滚滚的黑龙江,与俄罗斯隔江相望,边境线长达792公里。大兴安岭地区地理坐标魏东经121°11′~127°10′,北纬50°10′~53°33′,南北长365公里,东西宽355公里,总面积8。46万平方公里。

黑老潭,位于松树坪村南二里许的石门水库内,潭长14余里,宽5—6米,深不可测,水呈黛色,故叫黑老潭。听说常有一黑婆婆出入水面,故又叫黑老婆潭。

长寿山,人长寿,山水相映,古今交融,峰奇石异,水趣洞幽,神游幻思,美不胜收。到此一游,可饱览大自然的美感,寻觅古老传说的神奇,接受民族文化的陶冶,得到历史的启悟。近年来,在中央首长及各级领导的亲切关怀下,景区正在不断开发建设,目前已具备便捷的交通条件和良好的游览环境,相逢自是有缘,长寿山以客为尊,景区正在以优质的服务迎接四海游客,五洲宾朋。

小孤山,无处不景,无景不奇;庙宇亭台,层次分明。山旁有龙角石,临江陡峭;山中有龙耳洞,冬暖夏凉,深不可测;山顶有龙口,势若仰天长啸。还有一天门、龙眼石、琼崖滴翠、弥陀阁、先月楼、半边塔、海神龛、天妃殿、界潮祠、碧云梯、卧羊石、观涛石、御诗碑和庙藏文物以及众名士题咏的海门石刻等。这些诸多古迹胜景为神话般的小孤山笼上了一层扑朔迷离的光环。游小孤,如步仙境。明代谢缙有诗赞曰:“半空岩石架高台,过客登临此处来。佩玉尚闻仙子去,乘鸾疑见女郎回。澄江秋水明妆镜,绝顶云鬓绾髻堆。一望东南形胜阔,何须海上问蓬莱!”今日来“长江绝岛”小孤山的中外游客络绎不绝。

位于本区西北的风蚀地貌雅丹群,是世界最大最典型的雅丹景观之一,尤其是南八仙,一里坪一带,分布面积达千余平方公里,被世人视为魔鬼城,迷魂阵。南八仙一带雅丹犹如一个动物世界,有“野马奋蹄”,“骆驼昂首”,“巨鲸戏水”,“虎卧龙腾”,妙趣无穷。一里坪雅丹则是宝塔巍巍,千舟竞渡,适入其间如入迷宫。

好了,现在请大家四处参观吧。八达岭长城导游词14

各位游客,现在我们的汽车正行驶在八达岭高速公路上,马上就要进入即将参观的八达岭景区。前面的那座山就是军都山,八达岭长城就盘踞在这座山上。在春秋战国时期,我国古代人民就已经开始修建长城了,那个时候诸侯争霸,为了保护自己的领地不被侵犯,所以在各自的边界上纷纷修筑了长城,叫做互防长城。

刚才我们所经过的路,就位于关沟中。关沟是燕山山脉和军都山山脉的交会处,南起昌平区南口镇,西北到延庆县八达岭长城的城关,全长40里。是中原地区通往西北高原的咽喉要道。明代在这里布置了四道防线,分别是南口关,居庸关,上关,八达岭。在关沟中的叠翠山上,曾有金代著名的燕京八景之一:居庸叠翠,可惜现在景观已经不复存在了。

刚才我们所看到的那条铁路就是由我们中国人自己设计建造的第一条铁路,由詹天佑设计的京张铁路。因为八达岭地区地势复杂,技术难点很多,所以詹天佑所设计的人字型铁路,成功解决了火车不能直接爬坡和转弯的难题,而打通长达1091米的隧道也令中外人士叹服。现在在青龙桥火车站树立的铜像就是詹天佑的,还有纪念碑。

八达岭长城是明长城中的杰出代表,因为这里四通八达,故成为八达岭。可能大家会问,为什么要讲长城修筑在这里?其实这主要是因为八达岭地区重要的地理位置。它不仅守卫着明皇陵,而且也是京师的西北大门。

八达岭长城是历史上许多重大事件的见证,例如萧太后巡幸,元太祖入关,慈禧太后西逃等等,八达岭都是毕竟之路。说到这里,还有一个故事要讲给大家:位于关城东门路旁,有一块巨石,传说在1900年八国联军攻入北京,慈禧在西逃的途中经过这里,曾经站在这块石头上回望京城,所以这块石头也就被叫做望京石。但现在这块石头已经不那么突出了。

有一句话大家一定都知道:不到长城非好汉。刚才介绍了那么多景观,您一定急切的想来到景区游览一番,不用着急,马上您也要成为好汉了。好,这里就是著名的八达岭长城远处是壮丽的景色,而往下看就是长城重要的组成部分翁城,他一般都修建在地形险要的交通要道上。翁城两门之间相距63。9米,西门匾额:北门锁钥,我在前面已经讲过了。东门的匾额为:居庸外镇,意思是居庸关外又一重镇。现在我们向右下放看,在登城口的南侧陈列着一门大炮,名为:神威大将军。是崇祯年间制造的。八达岭长城导游词15

女士们,先生们!这里是《我们都要玩》节目,我是主持人陈书涵,今天我们的主题是介绍八达岭长城。

长城,是中国乃至世界著名的5A级景区,在1986年被评为世界文化遗产,如果你到了北京,那你一定要到长城来看一看,因为不到长城非好汉呀!从东头的山海关到西面的嘉峪,长城一共有一万三千多里呢。从北京出来,从市产郊二号线或旅游巴士877的小伙伴们可以直达八达岭。来到长城脚步下,长城高大坚固,气势雄伟。它是用巨大的条石和方砖砌成的。城墙顶上铺着方砖,非常平整,犹如很宽的马路,大约有3-4米长。城墙外有着两米多高成排的垛子,垛子上有方形的瞭望口和射口,供瞭望射击用。城墙顶上,每隔三百多米就有一座方形的城台,八达岭长城一共有8个这样的城台,打仗的时候这些城台是屯兵的堡垒。站在长城上,踏着脚下的方砖,扶着墙上的条石,让我不禁想起了修建长城的劳动人民,他们那时候没有机器设备,全靠肩挑手扛,竟然筑起这高大雄伟的长城,让我们不禁为他们赞叹。

看长城,我最推荐秋天去看,秋高气爽的季节里,站在长城上,一阵微风袭来,带着凉爽与花香,让人心旷神怡,陶醉其中,往远处眺望,东面的一片山碧绿碧绿,和湛蓝的天空还有白云,形成一幅美丽的画卷。长城周围的花草树木则像点晴之笔,让这幅度画作更加美丽,使北京城这座伟大城市,也显得更加耀眼。

好了,下面我们来采访几位游客:“长城,是我见过最雄伟的地方!”“祖因大好风光丽,唯有长城一枝秀。”“长城真美!”

这期的《我们都要玩》就结束了,欢迎各位好汉前来感受,我们下期再见!

第四篇:八达岭长城导游词例文

毛主席有诗云:“不到长城非好汉”。长城杯誉为中华民族的脊梁,下面小编为大家整理了八达岭长城导游词例文,欢迎阅读!

八达岭长城导游词例文一

各位游客你们好!欢迎来到万里长城游玩,我是你们的导游柯昊,大家可以叫我小柯。

万里长城位于北京西面,它东起山海关,西至嘉峪关,全长的一万三千多里,号称‘万里长城’,它不仅是我国珍贵的文化遗产,也是世界八大奇迹之一。

远看长城它像一条长龙在崇山峻岭之间蜿蜒盘旋。那巨大的条石就是长龙的鳞甲,方形的城台就是长龙的龙鳍。

各们游客,现在我们已经登上了八达岭长城了,长城顶上的路很宽,五六匹马可以并行,城墙外沿有两米多高的成排跺子,跺子上有瞭望台和射击口,每隔300多米的地方就有一个方形的城台,还叫烽火台。它们可以用来传递信息,也是个屯兵的堡垒。

看着这凝聚了古代劳动人民血汗的条石,我们不由会想起孟姜女哭长城的故事:传说范喜良和孟姜女结婚不久就被秦始皇抓来修筑长城,最后累死在长城脚下,孟姜女来给丈夫送衣服,知道丈夫已死,一连哭了三天三夜,感动了上天,上天推倒了长城,露出了范喜良的尸体,孟姜女才给丈夫穿上了衣服……

今天的浏览结束了,各位游客再见!祝你们旅行快乐!

八达岭长城导游词例文二

尊敬的各位游客:

大家好!我是你们的导游刘润清,接下来,就由我来说说游览长城的注意事项吧。1安全是游览长城的生命线,我们坚决反对爬野长城。慢一些爬长城,留意周围的提示语,保证自己的安全。3不论上去还是下来,都要低下身段,降低身体重心,以免发生危险。

登上了长城,站在八达岭上向下望,一辆辆汽车变成了“蚂蚁”,行人变成了黑色的小点,在“蚂蚁”之间来回穿梭,好像变成了“小人国”十分有趣。向东望去,长城盘旋在连绵起伏的山岭中。稍微高一点的地方是烽火台,那是古代打仗的时候用来传递信息的“信号站”

长城是有方砖和条石搭建而成的,每一块石头都是经过了无数劳动人民的双手才慢慢成为这前不见头,后不见尾气魄雄伟的万里长城。长城两旁还有了望口和射口,供了望和射击用。

长城是我国古代劳动人民创造的奇迹,自秦始皇开始,修筑长城一直是一个大工程,秦始皇是用了二十分之一的劳动力呢!可见,没有大量的劳动人民是不可能完成这项巨大工程的。

好了,旅途到此结束了,欢迎大家下次再来光临。

第五篇:八达岭长城的导游词

长城是世界闻名的八大奇迹之一,它东起山海关,西至嘉峪关,足足有一万三千多里长,像一条长龙盘旋在中国北方辽阔的土地上。下面由小编来给大家分享八达岭长城的导游词,欢迎大家参阅。

八达岭长城的导游词1

各位游客,大家好!我是你们的导演颜诗颖,大家可以叫我小颜或颜导。欢迎大家到八达岭观光旅游。今天有幸陪同大家一起参观,我很高兴,希望各位能在八达岭度过一段美好的时光。

游客们,在我们眼前的就是著名的八达岭长城。长城是世界闻名的八大奇迹之一,它东起山海关,西至嘉峪关,足足有一万三千多里长,像一条长龙盘旋在中国北方辽阔的土地上。它不仅是古代劳动人民的血汗和智慧的结晶,还是中国古代文化的象征和中华民族的骄傲。

游客们,现在我们已经登上了长城,您可以发现,这里是人山人海,所以各位要小心谨慎,以免发生意外。现在您向远处看,就可以发现这里的长城分为南北两峰,蜿蜒盘旋于山脊上,景色十分壮观。这高大坚固的长城是用巨大的条石和城砖筑成的。我们站在城墙顶上,您会发现这里像很宽的马路,可供五六匹马并行。现在请到我这边来,看到我身后这成排的垛子了吗?它有着两米多高,上面有瞭望口和射口,可供瞭望和射击用。现在让我们把目光转移,那高高的城台叫烽火台,它分为两层,上面是瞭望台,下层驻扎着许多士兵。士兵们一旦发现敌人,就点燃烽火,将消息传到远方。可见,烽火台在当时的军事中有着多么重要的作用。

站在长城上,踏着脚下的方砖,扶着墙上的条石,您一定会自然地想起古代修筑长城的劳动人民。我们单看这数不清的条石,一块有两三千斤重,那时候没有火车,没有起重机,就靠着无数的肩膀和无数的手,一步一步抬上这陡峭的山岭。多少劳动人民的血汗和智慧,才凝结成前不见头,后不见尾的万里长城。

现在让我来给您讲一个关于长城的故事。传说,有一对夫妻,男的叫范喜良,女的叫孟姜女,在他们结婚时,秦始皇召集百万民夫修筑长城,范喜良也被抓去了。孟姜女在家里苦苦等待夫君,日复一日,年复一年,孟姜女始终没有等到夫君。于是,孟姜女来到长城脚下万里寻夫。不料夫君早已成了一堆白骨,悲伤之下,孟姜女哭倒了长城,自己也成了望夫石。这就是《孟姜女哭长城》的故事。您听了这个故事,是不是对长城有了新的认识了呢?

八达岭长城的导游词2

大家好!欢迎大家到八达岭景区观光旅游。

长城是世界七大奇迹之一。它是中国古代劳动人民的血汗,也是中国古代文化的象征和中华民族的骄傲。游客们,我们已经来到了著名的八达岭长城上,两旁的山上,是苍松翠柏,好像云遮雾障,禽鸟和鸣,溪流淙淙,处处充满了诗情画意。您向远处看,可以发现这里的长城分为南、北两峰,蜿蜒于山脊之上,龙腾虎跃、气象万千,景色十分壮观。长城依山而建,高低起伏,曲折绵延。这段长城的墙体是用整齐巨大的条石铺成,有的条石长达2米,重数百斤。内部填满泥土和石块,墙上顶地面的地方铺满方砖,十分平整。墙顶外侧筑有高2米的垛口,上有了望孔,下有射击口,供仰望和射击用。城墙每隔一段,筑有一个堡垒式的方形城台。城台有高有低,高的叫敌搂,是守望和军士住宿的地方;低的叫墙台,高度与城墙相差不多但突出墙外,四周有垛口,是巡逻放哨的地方。

八达岭海拔1000米,绵延曲折的长城如巨龙腾飞于崇山峻岭之上。它不仅是中华民族勤劳、智慧的结晶,也是古代建筑工程的杰出代表。登上八达岭长城,极目远望,山峦起伏,雄沉刚劲的北方山势,尽收眼底。长城因山势而雄伟,山势因长城更加险峻。

下面就到了烽火台,又叫烽燧,狼烟台。是不和长城相连的独立建筑。一旦敌人来犯,就点燃烽火通报军情,白天点燃的烟叫做烽火,晚上的叫做燧火。明朝的时候,还对烽火与敌人的关系作了严格的规定:敌人百余个,燃一烟点一炮;五百人,燃两烟点两炮;千人以上,三烟三炮;五千人以上,四烟四炮;万人以上,五烟五炮。就通过这种方式,在边关的军情能够飞速的传递到皇城大内。看到烽火台,再给大家讲一个故事,叫(烽火戏诸侯):周朝有个国君叫周幽王,他有一个美女,她的脾气很怪,总是不笑,幽王就想办法。于是他点燃了求救信号(烽火),结果,引得诸侯白来一趟,她却哈哈大笑,幽王也很开心。可是,真有敌人来进攻的时候,幽王点燃了烽火,却不见人来,幽王就被敌人杀死了。还有一个故事,叫(孟姜女哭塌长城):传说当年孟家生了一个女儿叫孟姜女。因为秦始皇要修筑长城,需要很多人力。秦始皇便抓了许多人去修长城。突然,不知从哪里冒出一句谣言:只有把万喜良埋在长城底下,就可以使长城永保坚固,秦始皇就信以为真,派人捉拿万喜良。万喜良逃到了孟家。孟家的人见万喜良英俊潇洒、才华横溢,就让孟姜女和万喜良成亲了。好景不长,两人成亲不到十天,万喜良就被官府的人抓去修长城了。到了秋天,孟姜女见丈夫还没回来,给他送寒衣去了。一路上,风餐露宿,日夜兼程,千里迢迢来到长城脚下。当地人却告诉她:万喜良早就被埋在长城下面了。她顿时悲痛欲绝,放声痛哭。霎时,天昏地暗,八百里长城被哭塌了。正在这时,秦始皇巡察长城而来,他见孟姜女长得眉清目秀,就想让她做妃子。孟姜女让秦始皇答应她三个条件:一是为万喜良修一座坟墓;二是让满朝文武祭奠万喜良;三是在长城和万喜良的坟墓中间修一座和飞虹一样雄伟的大桥。三件事办完之后,她就投海自尽了。

八达岭长城的导游词3

中国的长城作为坚固的军事防御功能,已经永远失去了它的历史作用,但作为伟大的建筑永远屹立在中华大地。成为中华民族。团结的象征。1987年,长城被列入《世界文化遗产名录》,被专家学者称为世界上最长的防御性城墙。

今天我们登上了长城,在中国的旅游界界流行着一句话不到长城非好汉。现在各位都是英雄好汉了,女士们就是巾帼英雄。长城横贯中国的北部,长达6000多公里,合计120_多华里,所以叫万里长城。长城与黄河被称为中国北方两巨龙。北京位于黄河以北,长城以南,俗话说万里长城万里长,遥想当年秦始皇,其实长城并非起自秦始皇,应该说是起自春秋战国。

公元前221年,秦国一举灭掉了六国,他把中国北部的旧长城连接了起来。形成了一道西起临洮,东到辽东的万里长城。这一段历史时期的长城叫做秦长城。大家听说过孟姜女哭长城的传说吗?说的是孟姜女新婚不久,他的丈夫范杞良就被抓去修长城。一去三年,没有音信。一天夜里孟姜女做了一个梦,梦见她的丈夫饥寒交迫,衣不遮体,浑身发抖。喊着说:我冷啊!我冷啊!于是孟姜女决定千里寻夫为他送寒衣。她从江淮一带(今安徽)来到北方,沿着长城找寻她的丈夫,她四处打听,一直都没有下落。到山海关一带,一个修城的工头说,范杞良早已经死了。她悲痛欲绝,放声大哭。哭倒了长城八百里。这个传说反映了秦始皇强征民夫,横征暴敛的暴政。

到了西汉时期,汉武帝又修了一道外长城。而且,把它修到了阴山以北,可怜的匈奴人只有望队山而泣。真可谓不叫胡马度阴山。这一段汉长城可以说是西起新疆境内,东经蒙古,一直到黑龙江流域长达两万余里。这一时期的长城,称为汉长城。

公元1368年,明朝皇帝朱元璋派大将徐达北筑长城,从那时起直到明朝末期,先后大修长城十八次,历时260余年。公元1500年,也就是弘治十二年,才完成了明长城的规模。它东起鸭绿江西到嘉峪关,经辽宁、河北、北京、山西、陕西、内蒙古、宁夏、甘肃等省市自治区。全长12700多华里。这一时期的长城叫明长城。就是今天我们各位看到的八达岭这一段的长城。所以说在历史上有三次筑城高潮。这就是秦长城、汉长城、明长城。

同学们好!欢迎你们大家来“兵马俑”博物馆参观。我是你们的导游,我姓王,请同学们跟我一起往这边走。

我们现在要去参观1号俑坑,这是最大的一个坑。东西长230米,南北宽62米,总面积14260平方米;我们看坑里的兵马俑一行行、一列列,十分整齐,排成了一个巨大的长方形军阵,就像是秦始皇当年统率的一支南征北战、所向披靡的大军。

大兴安岭地区是我国位置最北、纬度最高的地级行政区。它东依连绵千里的小兴安岭,西临一望无际的呼伦贝尔大草原,南达辽阔肥沃的松嫩平原,北靠波涛滚滚的黑龙江,与俄罗斯隔江相望,边境线长达792公里。大兴安岭地区地理坐标魏东经121°11′~127°10′,北纬50°10′~53°33′,南北长365公里,东西宽355公里,总面积8。46万平方公里。

黑老潭,位于松树坪村南二里许的石门水库内,潭长14余里,宽5—6米,深不可测,水呈黛色,故叫黑老潭。听说常有一黑婆婆出入水面,故又叫黑老婆潭。

长寿山,人长寿,山水相映,古今交融,峰奇石异,水趣洞幽,神游幻思,美不胜收。到此一游,可饱览大自然的美感,寻觅古老传说的神奇,接受民族文化的陶冶,得到历史的启悟。近年来,在中央首长及各级领导的亲切关怀下,景区正在不断开发建设,目前已具备便捷的交通条件和良好的游览环境,相逢自是有缘,长寿山以客为尊,景区正在以优质的服务迎接四海游客,五洲宾朋。

小孤山,无处不景,无景不奇;庙宇亭台,层次分明。山旁有龙角石,临江陡峭;山中有龙耳洞,冬暖夏凉,深不可测;山顶有龙口,势若仰天长啸。还有一天门、龙眼石、琼崖滴翠、弥陀阁、先月楼、半边塔、海神龛、天妃殿、界潮祠、碧云梯、卧羊石、观涛石、御诗碑和庙藏文物以及众名士题咏的海门石刻等。这些诸多古迹胜景为神话般的小孤山笼上了一层扑朔迷离的光环。游小孤,如步仙境。明代谢缙有诗赞曰:“半空岩石架高台,过客登临此处来。佩玉尚闻仙子去,乘鸾疑见女郎回。澄江秋水明妆镜,绝顶云鬓绾髻堆。一望东南形胜阔,何须海上问蓬莱!”今日来“长江绝岛”小孤山的中外游客络绎不绝。

位于本区西北的风蚀地貌雅丹群,是世界最大最典型的雅丹景观之一,尤其是南八仙,一里坪一带,分布面积达千余平方公里,被世人视为魔鬼城,迷魂阵。南八仙一带雅丹犹如一个动物世界,有“野马奋蹄”,“骆驼昂首”,“巨鲸戏水”,“虎卧龙腾”,妙趣无穷。一里坪雅丹则是宝塔巍巍,千舟竞渡,适入其间如入迷宫。

好了,现在请大家四处参观吧。

八达岭长城的导游词5

各位游客:大家好!欢迎大家到八达岭景区观光旅游。今天有幸陪同大家一起参观,我很高兴,望各能在八达岭度过一段美好的时光。

长城是世界闻名的奇迹之一,它像一条巨龙盘踞在中国北方的辽阔的土地上。它是中国古代劳动人民血法的结晶,也是中国古代文化的象征和中华民族的骄傲。

游客们,我们已经来到了着名的八达岭长城,您向远处看,可以发现这里的长城分为南、北两峰,蜿蜒于山脊之上,龙腾虎跃、气象万千,景色十分壮观。往下面看是有两个门洞和u字形的城墙缎怕谳瓮城。在瓮城墙上内外两面都有垛口墙,四面拒敌。倘若敌人攻破关门涌入城内,将受到四面守城将围歼,敌人如落瓮中。瓮城是长城的一个重要组成部分。它一般都建在地形险要的交通要道上。八达岭的瓮城也不例外。建在山脊上,受地形限制,依山就势,东低西高,东窄西宽,仅有5000平方米。瓮城内无井,水源缺乏,平常驻兵不多,守城部队驻在西北三里的岔道城。瓮城中原有一座"察院公馆",是供皇帝路过驻跸或官员停留住宿的。瓮城两门之间相距63.9米,西门楣题额"北门锁钥",它的用意我在前面已经讲过。

城门洞上,古进安装有巨大的双扇木门,门内安装有木顶柱和锁闩。平时,大门敞开,行人商旅自由出入;战时城门紧闭,严实坚固;一旦发出反击号令,城门洞又是千军万马发起冲锋的出口。瓮城的东门楣题额为"居庸外填",修建于明嘉靖十八年。在"居庸外镇"关城的城台上,原来嵌有一块石碑,为明朝万历年间刻制。从碑文可以看一带长城,先后经80多年时间才完成。这碑中还记录着修筑长城的时间、长度、主持官和管工头、烧头、窑匠头、泥瓦匠头和名字,以明确责任。站在城上向下看,我们中以看到来往不断的车辆和从门洞穿过的游人。这里不仅是古代重要的军事防御关口,而且也是交通要道。从这里南通昌平、北京,北去延庆,西北往宣化、张家口,"路从此分,四通八达"。八达岭也因此得名。

我们往右下方看,在登城口的南侧陈列着一门大炮,名为"这时威大将军"。这门炮炮身长2.85米,口径105毫米,由于中炮身上铸有"敕赐神威大将"而得名。字最大的射程是500多米,可见当时的军工业是比较发达的。

从关城城台到南峰的最高处南4楼,城墙长685.8米,高度上升142.4米,特别是南3楼至南4楼之间,山脊狭窄,山势陡峭,长城逶迤400多米。城顶最险处,坡度约为70度,几乎是直上直下。南1楼和南2楼,都没有修复二层,从南3楼遗存的柱础看,原来也有铺房。

南峰长城以南4楼地势最高,海拔803.6米。登楼眺望,长城自西南向东北蜿蜓于山脊之上,宛如苍龙,宏伟壮观。使人不由得想起我国着名的长城专家罗哲文先生登临八达岭长城时咏的诗;千峰叠翠拥居庸,山北山南处处峰。锁钥北门天设险,半哉峻岭走长龙。从南4楼到南7楼,高度逐渐下降。南5楼与南6楼之间在长城的内侧距城墙30米的山脊上,耸立着一座白色的小亭,这就是1987年6月落成的"贵州省修复长城纪念碑亭"。南6楼是一座铺房,铺房建在上层的顶上,面阔三间,硬山顶,红柱子,灰色瓦,小巧玲珑。这大概是当年"千总"的指挥所。

今天的长城,早已失去军事价值,而以其特有的魅力,吸引着广大中外游客,成为举世闻名的旅游胜地。随着旅游业的发展,长城这一中华民族的象征,全世界重要的文化遗产,会焕发出新的生机。以更优质的旅游服务、更优美的旅游环境迎接着大家的到来!
