Huaqing Hot Springs Good morning, my friends!Welcome to Huaqing Hot Springs, a magnificent place in history.I’m your tour guide today, xiao Wang from XISU Tourism Institute.From the name, we know that it is a place full of natural beauty and romance, and also there are interesting stories behind.“Hot Springs” is a cool place for a wonderful bath or shower, especially in winter.Well, the Hot Springs we are going to visit today are not merely hot springs, there are many historic things.It is a combination of natural beauty and cultural abundance.The Huaqing Hot Springs is located at the foot of Lishan Hill, 30km east of the city of Xi’an.Because of the Hot Springs, it used to be a scenic spot and a place for relaxation in as early as the Zhou Dynasty, about 27 centuries ago.This place was a place favored by emperors and his concubines.In the history of China, there were many dynasties.And the Tang Dynasty was the peak of the feudal society, which was considered to be the most flourishing episode of history.It was in the Tang Dynasty that the palace was built on the Hot Springs.Talking about the Huaqing Hot Springs, we must mention two names: emperor Xuanzong and his favorite concubine Lady Yang.Xuanzong was a successful emperor.He brought the feudal society to the peak.During his throne, people led a peaceful and happy life.They two love each other very much, and the place they always visited was the Huaqing Hot Springs.In this beautiful place, they enjoyed their golden private time.During the winter, emperor Xuanzong would leave the capital city Chang’an and came to the Hot Springs with his sweetheart Lady Yang.It was a paradise for them, a place full of romance and peace.Besides the romance inside, you may wonder what are really in the Hot Springs.However, due to the time limit, I will pick up some of them: the Frost-drifting hall, the Nine-dragon Pool, the Five Room Hall and Xi’an Incident, and the Beacon Tower.The Frost-drifting Hall is the very place where emperor xuanzong and his favorite concubine made their home.There is always mist and vapor in the air over the pool in front of the Hall.In winter, snowflakes fly in the air and everything is sight becomes white.However, the snowflakes thaw immediately.This owes a great deal to the lukewarm vapor that rises out of the Hot Springs;hence the name “the Frost Drifting Hall” came into being.As for the Nine-dragon Pool, there was a legend.The legend goes that long long ago, central Shaanxi plain was severely striken by a drought.Knowing the fact, Jade emperor ordered nine dragons, eight young ones and senior one to make rain there.However, when the disaster did not abate, the dragons slacked off.Jade emperor was angry for this, out of anger;he kept the dragon underground to spout clear water all year around for irrigation.The next I am going to talk about is the Five-room Hall and Xi’an incident.First, let’s see the Five-room Hall.This is the place where Chiangkai shek stayed temporarily during “the Xi’an Incident”.“The Xi’an Incident” took place on

December the 12th, 1936.Before that time, Chiangkai shek held a view that he refused to solve the “cival war” peacefully, so early on the morning of December the 12th, 1936, Zhangxue liang and Yanghu cheng ordered guards to surround the Huaqing Pool.When Chiangkai shek heard the gunshots, he was so terrified that he crept out a window in his room.Later, he sheltered behind a creviced stone in the Lishan Hill.Finally at 8:00 in the morning, they found Chiangkai shek and escorted him to Xi’an.In order to memorize this incident, the “National Rejuvenation Pavilion” was built near the crevicedstone where Chiangkai shek had hidden himself.Well, the most exciting always comes when I talk about the beacon tower.There is a very interesting story in this place.It was said that King You in the Zhou Dynasty loved his concubine Baoshi a lot.However, one thing made the King very upset and anxious.The beauty never smiled.Out of love, he decided to find solutions to the problem at any costs.Then one of his ministers proposed that the beacon be burnt.When the lady saw soldiers hurrying around with sweat all over their bodies, she would smile.The second time, he ordered the beacon tower be burnt again to fool his army.The army immediately rushed to the tower only to find that there was no danger at all.The lady smiled.The third time, the enemies really came and he ordered to burn the beacon tower, however, this time no one came to rescue him, and he was killed in desperation.Later, people produced a famous saying “A single smile cost a regime”.Well, so much for my introduction, I will leave 30 minutes for you to enjoy yourself.If you have any questions, please let me know, I’ll always be here waiting for you.See you!

Flowering Crabapple Hot Spring or the Lotus Hot Spring..Lady Yang used to make a stay in this pavilion to see sights or to air her hair after a bath.Therefore, it was named the Hair Airing Pavilion.Whether the sun was rising or setting, the pavilion was aglow with sunshine;hence the name the Flying Roseate Pavilion.Southwest of the Gui Fei Bathing Pool stands a brick-built pavilion.On its head three big Chinese characters “Xi Jia Lou”(Fine Sunset-Bathed Pavilion)are inscribed according to the model of the most celebrated according to the model of the most celebrated Chinese calligrapher, Yu You Ren, here is the source of the spring water.At this spa there are four hot springs.They have an hourly flow of 112 tons, and a constant temperature of 43°C.The spring water contains lime, sodium carbonate, sodium sulphate and other minerals, which makes it suitable for bathing and considerable treatment of quite a few diseases such as dermatosis, rheumatism, arthritis and muscular pain.The Fine Sunset-Bathed Pavilion marks the first source of the spring water, which was discovered some 3,000 years ago, roughly in the Western Zhou Dynasty.Its water flow averages 25 tons per hour.Take up the steps east of the source of hot springs, you will gradually see the Five-Room Pavilion where Chiang Kaishek made a temporary stay during the Xi’an Incident.The Xi’an Incident took place on December 12, 1936, and it is also known as the Double Twelfth Incident.After the Incident of September 18, 1936, the Japanese imperialists seized the three provinces northeast of China, and intensified their invasion of North China.This was the very moment vital to the Chinese nation.Yet Chiang Kaichek persisted doggedly in carrying out his reactionary policy “domestic tranquility is a must for the resistance against Japanese invades,” and commanded the Northeast Army and Northwest Army, respectively headed by Zhang Xueliang and Yang Hucheng, to attack the Shaanxi-Gansu-Ningxia Border Region.Inspired by our Party’s policy “let us stop the internal war and unit to resist the Japanese aggressors,” those two generals made to Chiang Kaishek the proposal of forming a united front with the Communist Party for the resistance.Not only did he reject the proposal, but flew to Xi’an to scheme the “suppression of the Communist Party.” And the slaughter of the patriotic youth.Out of patriotism, Zhang and Yang started the famous Xi’an Incident.Very early on the morning of December 12, 1936 the Incident was impending.Zhang Xueliang, together with Yang Hucheng ordered a squad of bodyguards to surround the Huaqing Pool.They fought a fierce battle there, and wiped out Chiang’s bodyguards in one vigorous effort.The sound of firing came to Chiang Kaishek, and he was so terrified that he crept out of the window with his nightgown and slippers only.What’s more, he hurt his spinal bone, and lost one of his slippers while crossing over the back wall.He staggered up Lishan Mountain, and hid himself behind a stone in the crevice halfway on it.Those brave soldiers began to search the mountain immediately when they rushed into the Five-Room Pavilion to find that Chiang’s hat and clothes were still there and that his quilt remained warm.In the end they found Chiang Kaishek, and thus escorted him to Xi’an.In order to avoid a civil war and try t establish a national united front for the resistance against

Japan, Mao Zedong on behalf of the C.C.P.C.insisted on a peaceful settlement of the Incident.Therefore, a delegation headed by Zhou Enlai was sent to Xi’an.Zhou Enlai and his suite did a large amount of work there, took everything possible into consideration, and ultimately forced Chiang Kaishek to accept the proposal by his two generals.On December 25, Chiang was freed, and flew back to Nanjing.The Xi’an Incident was so peacefully settled

The peaceful settlement of the Incident put an end to the internal war which had lasted for ten years, and accelerated the formation and development of the national united front for the anti-Japanese drive.Moreover, it showed that the co-operative relationships between the Communist and Nationalists arrived at a new stage.It marked a great turning point in modern Chinese history.In the year of 1946 the KMT government had a “National Rejuvenation Pavilion” built near the crevice where Chiang Kaishek had hidden himself in the Incident.It was also called “Vital Energy Pavilion”.After the national liberation it was renamed “Catching Chiang Pavilion”.Close by the pavilion stands a wooden board which carries a brief introduction to the Xi’an Incident.Iron chains and rings in the crevices east of the pavilion, by which visitors can climb up to take a look at Chiang Kaishek’s shelter.Up the winding path east of the Five-Room-Pavilion you will catch sight of a bridge-like construction.It shines regularly with a myriad of evening sun rays both in summer and autumn, and looks very much like rainbow.So it has the name of the Hovering Rainbow Bridge.Located on the Xixiu Ridge(the West Embroidery Ridge)of the Lishan Mountain, the remains of the beacon tower of the Western Zhou Dynasty seem easy to identify.The beacon tower was mostly built at the top of the mountain to give border alarm in ancient times.It was constantly under special control.Once the enemies were pressing on towards the border, the beacon tower began to take effect: it was made to smoke in the daytime while set on fire at night.The story goes that Bao Si, Queen of the Western Zhou dynasty was highly honored, yet she never cracked a smile.King You tried many ways to put a smile on her face, but he failed over and over again.He “called his court band to toll bells and beat gongs”, and she pulled a long face.Then the band were asked to “play the bamboo flute and strings” and she remained displeased.Afterwards, “maids of honour served wine, festively singing and dancing,” and she did not let out a smile at all.“You don’t like music!What on earth are you fond of?” the King asked

“I nearly have a liking for nothing.But I can still well remember I liked to give ear to the sound of tearing a piece of coloured silk when I was a child.It was clear anf melodious,” she replied.King You said in excitement, “That is very simple.How come you didn’t let me know it earlier?”

Thus he ordered the officially appointed property manager to offer coloured silk, and made fresh and energetic maids of honour to tear it into pieces.Hundreds of bolts of coloured silk were utterly torn, but Bao Si remained unmoved.“Why didn’t you let out a single smile then?” he asked.“I have never smiled so far, ” the Queen replied.The King tried over and over again, but failed repeatedly, and in the end he gave orders, “Anyone both in and out of court who can amuse Bao Si will be awarded one thousand pieces of gold.”

Afterwards Guo Shifu, a treacherous court official came and offered advice: “Set the beacon tower on fire and fool your sovereign rulers.” That night the King and Queen reached the Lishan Mountain by carriage, and gave the order.In the split second the flames of the fire lit up the sky ad the sovereign rulers moved their troops immediately to the Lishan Mountain.There they found nothing but that the King and Queen enjoyed drinking festively.The King then dispatched his bodyguard to inform them that “Everything should have been all right.I have just been joking with you.” When they got this, they looked at each other in blank dismay, and left disappointed.Sure enough, Bao Si burst into laughter, stroking her hands when she noticed all the troops come in vain and go noisily.Accordingly, Guo Shifu got a prize of one thousand pieces of gold.Later on King You did so more often than not.In 771 B.C.Quan Rong(a then minority tribe)staged an armed rebellion against the Western Zhou Dynasty.King You ordered urgently to set the beacon tower on fire, but all the sovereign rulers remained unmoved.Consequently King Yu was killed, and Bao Si was taken away.The Western Zhou dynasty vanished.Herein come the Chinese idiom “A single smile costs one thousand pieces of gold” and “The sovereign rulers are fooled by the beacon fire.”

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.Close by the Frost Drifting Hall lies the Nine Dragon Pool.According to legend, the Central Shaanxi Plain was once stricken by

a severe drought in the very remote past.Thus, by the order of the

Jade Emperor(the Supreme Deity of Heaven), an old dragon came at

the head of eight young ones, and made rain here.Yet when the

disaster was just abating, they lowered their guard so much that it

became serious again.In a fit of anger, the Jade Emperor kept the

young dragons under the Jade Cause Way(玉堤), with the Morning Glow

respectively, to make the young dragons spout cleat water all day

long to meet the needs of local irrigation.Besides, he had the old

dragon confined to the bottom of the Roaring Dragon Waterside

Pavilion situated at the upper end of the Jade Causeway, and obliged

him to exercise control over the young.The Nine-Bend Corridor west of the Nine Dragon Pool leads directly

surface.In the Marble Boat lies the Nine Dragon Tang(the Nine

Dragon Hot Spring where Emperor Xuan Zong used to take baths).At

the head of his court ladies and hundreds of his officials, he would

come to the Huanqing Palace to spend his winter days in October of

the Lunar calendar and return to Chang’an City as the year drew to

its close.The Nine Dragon Hot Spring was originally built with

crystal jade, whose surface was decorated with the carvings of fish，dragons, birds and flowers.In it twin lotus flowers also carved

with white jade could be seen as well.The spring water welled from

the break of an earthen jar, and spouted up to the lotus flowers.Hence the name Lotus Flower Tang(the Lotus Flower Hot Spring).The Gui Fei Bathing Pool was where Yang Gui Fei, Emperor Xuan

Zong’s favorite lady, used to take bath.It was originally built

with white jade, and in its center a blooming flower spouted water

like a spring.The pool looked very much like a Chinese flowering

crabapple;Hence its name the Chinese Flowering Crabapple Hot Spring

or the Lotus Hot Spring..Lady Yang used to make a stay in this pavilion to see sights or to

air her hair after a bath.Therefore, it was named the Hair Airing

Pavilion.Whether the sun was rising or setting, the pavilion was

aglow with sunshine;hence the name the Flying Roseate Pavilion.Southwest of the Gui Fei Bathing Pool stands a brick-built

pavilion.On its head three big Chinese characters “Xi Jia Lou”

(Fine Sunset-Bathed Pavilion)are inscribed according to the model of

the most celebrated according to the model of the most celebrated

Chinese calligrapher, Yu You Ren, here is the source of the spring

water.At this spa there are four hot springs.They have an hourly flow

of 112 tons, and a constant temperature of 43°C.The spring water

contains lime, sodium carbonate, sodium sulphate and other minerals，which makes it suitable for bathing and considerable treatment of

quite a few diseases such as dermatosis, rheumatism, arthritis and

muscular pain.The Fine Sunset-Bathed Pavilion marks the first

source of the spring water, which was discovered some 3,000 years

ago, roughly in the Western Zhou Dynasty.Its water flow averages 25

tons per hour.Take up the steps east of the source of hot springs, you will

gradually see the Five-Room Pavilion where Chiang Kaishek made a

temporary stay during the Xi’an Incident.The Xi’an Incident took place on December 12, 1936, and it is also

known as the Double Twelfth Incident.After the Incident of

September 18, 1936, the Japanese imperialists seized the three

provinces northeast of China, and intensified their invasion of

North China.This was the very moment vital to the Chinese nation.Yet Chiang Kaichek persisted doggedly in carrying out his

reactionary policy “domestic tranquility is a must for the

resistance against Japanese invades,” and commanded the Northeast

Army and Northwest Army, respectively headed by Zhang Xueliang and

Yang Hucheng, to attack the Shaanxi-Gansu-Ningxia Border Region.Inspired by our Party’s policy “let us stop the internal war and

unit to resist the Japanese aggressors,” those two generals made to

Chiang Kaishek the proposal of forming a united front with the

Communist Party for the resistance.Not only did he reject the

proposal, but flew to Xi’an to scheme the “suppression of the

Communist Party.” And the slaughter of the patriotic youth.Out of

patriotism, Zhang and Yang started the famous Xi’an Incident.Very early on the morning of December 12, 1936 the Incident was

impending.Zhang Xueliang, together with Yang Hucheng ordered a

squad of bodyguards to surround the Huaqing Pool.They fought a

fierce battle there, and wiped out Chiang’s bodyguards in one

vigorous effort.The sound of firing came to Chiang Kaishek, and he

was so terrified that he crept out of the window with his nightgown

and slippers only.What’s more, he hurt his spinal bone, and lost

one of his slippers while crossing over the back wall.He staggered

up Lishan Mountain, and hid himself behind a stone in the crevice

halfway on it.Those brave soldiers began to search the mountain

immediately when they rushed into the Five-Room Pavilion to find

that Chiang’s hat and clothes were still there and that his quilt

remained warm.In the end they found Chiang Kaishek, and thus

escorted him to Xi’an.In order to avoid a civil war and try t establish a national

united front for the resistance against Japan, Mao Zedong on behalf

of the C.C.P.C.insisted on a peaceful settlement of the Incident.Therefore, a delegation headed by Zhou Enlai was sent to Xi’an.Zhou

Enlai and his suite did a large amount of work there, took

everything possible into consideration, and ultimately forced Chiang

Kaishek to accept the proposal by his two generals.On December 25，Chiang was freed, and flew back to Nanjing.The Xi’an Incident was

so peacefully settled.The peaceful settlement of the Incident put an end to the internal

war which had lasted for ten years, and accelerated the formation

and development of the national united front for the anti-Japanese

drive.Moreover, it showed that the co-operative relationships

between the Communist and Nationalists arrived at a new stage.It

marked a great turning point in modern Chinese history.In the year of 1946 the KMT government had a “National

Rejuvenation Pavilion” built near the crevice where Chiang Kaishek

had hidden himself in the Incident.It was also called “Vital Energy

Pavilion”.After the national liberation it was renamed “Catching

Chiang Pavilion”.Close by the pavilion stands a wooden board which

carries a brief introduction to the Xi’an Incident.Iron chains and

rings in the crevices east of the pavilion, by which visitors can

climb up to take a look at Chiang Kaishek’s shelter.Up the winding path east of the Five-Room-Pavilion you will catch

sight of a bridge-like construction.It shines regularly with a

myriad of evening sun rays both in summer and autumn, and looks very

much like rainbow.So it has the name of the Hovering Rainbow Bridge.Located on the Xixiu Ridge(the West Embroidery Ridge)of the

Lishan Mountain, the remains of the beacon tower of the Western Zhou

Dynasty seem easy to identify.The beacon tower was mostly built at the top of the mountain to

give border alarm in ancient times.It was constantly under special

control.Once the enemies were pressing on towards the border, the

beacon tower began to take effect: it was made to smoke in the

daytime while set on fire at night.The story goes that Bao Si, Queen of the Western Zhou dynasty was

highly honored, yet she never cracked a smile.King You tried many

ways to put a smile on her face, but he failed over and over again.He “called his court band to toll bells and beat gongs”, and she

pulled a long face.Then the band were asked to “play the bamboo

flute and strings” and she remained displeased.Afterwards, “maids

of honour served wine, festively singing and dancing,” and she did

not let out a smile at all.“You don’t like music!What on earth are you fond of?” the King

asked.“I nearly have a liking for nothing.But I can still well remember

I liked to give ear to the sound of tearing a piece of coloured silk

when I was a child.It was clear anf melodious,” she replied.King

You said in excitement, “That is very simple.How come you didn’t

let me know it earlier?”

Thus he ordered the officially appointed property manager to offer

coloured silk, and made fresh and energetic maids of honour to tear

it into pieces.Hundreds of bolts of coloured silk were utterly

torn, but Bao Si remained unmoved.“Why didn’t you let out a single smile then?” he asked.“I have never smiled so far, ” the Queen replied.The King tried over and over again, but failed repeatedly, and in

the end he gave orders, “Anyone both in and out of court who can

amuse Bao Si will be awarded one thousand pieces of gold.”

Afterwards Guo Shifu, a treacherous court official came and

offered advice: “Set the beacon tower on fire and fool your

sovereign rulers.” That night the King and Queen reached the Lishan

Mountain by carriage, and gave the order.In the split second the

flames of the fire lit up the sky ad the sovereign rulers moved

their troops immediately to the Lishan Mountain.There they found

nothing but that the King and Queen enjoyed drinking festively.The

King then dispatched his bodyguard to inform them that “Everything

should have been all right.I have just been joking with you.” When

they got this, they looked at each other in blank dismay, and left

disappointed.Sure enough, Bao Si burst into laughter, stroking her

hands when she noticed all the troops come in vain and go noisily.Accordingly, Guo Shifu got a prize of one thousand pieces of gold.Later on King You did so more often than not.In 771 B.C.Quan Rong

(a then minority tribe)staged an armed rebellion against the

Western Zhou Dynasty.King You ordered urgently to set the beacon

tower on fire, but all the sovereign rulers remained unmoved.Consequently King Yu was killed, and Bao Si was taken away.The

Western Zhou dynasty vanished.Herein come the Chinese idiom “A

single smile costs one thousand pieces of gold” and “The sovereign

rulers are fooled by the beacon fire."
