Ladies and gentlemen, today we are going to visit a famous Buddhist temple---the Jade Buddha Temple.Before visiting the temple, I’d like to say a few words about the religious situation in Shanghai.Our constitution stipulates that every Chinese citizen is ensured the freedom of religious belief.There are four major religions in practice in Shanghai, namely, Buddhism, Taoism, Islam, and Christianity, which is sub-divided into the Catholic Church and the Protestant Church.When it comes to Buddhist temples in China, they are usually classified into three sects, i.e.temples for meditation, for preaching and for practicing Buddhist disciplines.The Jade Buddha Temple is a temple for meditation, and is well-known both at home and abroad.The temple was first built during the reign of Emperor Guangxu of Qing Dynasty, when a monk named Hui Gen went on a pilgrimage to Burma and brought back five jade statues of Sakyamuni.On his way back to Mount Putuo via Shanghai, he left two jade statues here, one in sitting posture and the other, reclining.He had a temple specially built as a shrine for these two statues in 1882.later the temple was partly destroyed by fire and in 1928 a new temple was completed on the present site.Just opposite the temple gate, there stands a giant screen wall.Various designs, such as dragon, phoenix, elephant, crane and peony are carved on it.In Chinese legend, all these things are considered the symbols of fortune, wealth, longevity and auspiciousness.Chinese people used to set up a wall in front of the house so as to keep the evils away.Now ladies and gentlemen, please turn around.Here we can see the temple gate.It is also called the Sanmen Gate, or say, the Gate of Three Extrications.The door in the middle is called the Door of Emptiness, to its right is the Door of Non-phenomenon, and to its left, the Door of Non-Action.Sanmen Gate is also called the Mountain Gate because most famous temples in China are found deep in mountains.But the Sanmen gate does not open except on the first and the fifteenth of every lunar month.Now this way to the entrance.Ladies and gentlemen, the first hall is the Heavenly King Hall.We will use the rear door, please follow me.(in the Heavenly King Hall next to the southern entrance)Here we can find the statue of a fat and smiling monk with bared belly.He is Bodhisattva Maitreya.His smile is so contagious that you will smile with him and forget all your worries.So he is also called the Laughing Buddha.According to Buddhist scripture, he is now practicing Buddhism in the Tusita Heaven.After 4000 years, which is equal to 5.67 billion years on the earth, he will become successor to Sakyamuni under a Long Hua Tree in Hualin Garden.Hence another name the Future Buddha.But this statue we see here is not the real image of Bodhisattva Maitreya, it is just his incarnation..it is said that During the Five Dynasties Period, 1000 years ago, there lived in Fenhua in Zhejiang Province a monk named Qi Ci, who always carried a wooden staff with a cloth sack on his shoulder.He often went around towns and in streets to beg alms.Therefore he became known as “the Cloth Sack Monk”.He always smiled and laughed, looking as happy as ever.When he was dying, he left the message saying that he was the incarnation of Bodhisattva Maitreya.So his image is enshrined in the Buddhist Temple as the incarnation of Bodhisattva Maitreya.(on the eastern side of the Heavenly King Hall)On the two sides of the hall are enshrined four statues.They are so-called Four Heavenly Kings.In the Buddhist legend, there is in the center of the world a highest mountain called Mount Sumeru.Halfway on it is a mountain called Mount Ghandara with four peaks.On each peak lives a Heavenly King protecting the Buddhist heaven.The first one is the Southern King---King of Developing Merits.His duty is to educate all living creatures and develop king-heartedness.He is holding a sword in his hand which can emit a ray to chop off the enemies’ heads.The one next to him is the Eastern King---King of Protection for Buddhism.He is holding in his hand a pipa, which is somewhat like a guitar.With this pipa, he offers music to the Buddha.Meanwhile this pipa is a magic weapon.It can send out a musical rhythm to defeat the enemy by tormenting brain and causing him to lose combatability.Now ladies and gentlemen, please come over to this side.(on the western side of the Heavenly King Hall)The first one on this side is the Northern King---King of Virtue.He is so called because of his virtue.He is holding a parasol-shaped stela in his hand.The parasol can be opened into a canopy in Buddhist processions.It is at the same time a magic umbrella.Once it is opened in the battle field, the sky turns dark and a wind-storm rises, defeating the enemy with a dizzy spell and then it closes up capturing all the enemies.Next to him is the Western King---King of Far Sight.He observes the world with his penetrating eyes.He is holding a dragon-shaped silk rope.The rope is actually a net, with which he converts people to Buddhism just like catching fish with a net.This dragon also has a magic power.It can spurt water from its mouth and drown the enemy in floods.(in the Heavenly King Hall next to the rear door)The Statue facing the rear door is Bodhisattva Skanda.He is always dressed in armour with a worrior’s club in his hand.Originally he was one of the eight heavenly generals under the Southern King of Developing Merits.Later he has been enshrined here because of his bravery.He is also a god of message, a fleet-foot runner, so when visitors come to the temple, he will immediately report to the Buddha in the Grand Hall.Now ladies and gentlemen, that’s all for the Heavenly King Hall.Please follow me and look out the threshold and the steps.Now we can see a giant tripod in the courtyard.It is actually a giant incense burner.It was donated by some Buddhist laymen who believed that by donating something the Buddha they can help purify the souls of their dead relatives from sins and relieve them from purgatory.Now this is the main hall, known as the Grand Hall or Grand Hall of the Great Sage.It is the main structure in every Buddhist temple, where the statue of Sakyamuni, the founder of Buddhism is enshrined.(in the Grand Hall)Ladies and gentlemen, in the middle of the hall is the statue of Sakyamuni, the founder of Buddhism.On his right is Medicine Buddha and on his left is Amitabha Buddha.Each is seated on a lotus blossom and has a back halo.Sakyamuni’s original name was Siddhartha Gautama.He was a contemporary of Confucius.He was born to a warrior’s family in the Himalayan foothill in ancient India, or say, in present-day Nepal.He spent his youth in great luxury.But he renounced the human world at the age of 29 in search of an ultimate solution to the problems of human sufferings.After six years of spiritual discipline he got enlightened at the age of 35.he spent the remaining 45 years of his life teaching his religion and establishing a community for monks to continue his work.He was entitled “Sakyamuni”, which means “the great sage of the Sakya Clan”.He died at the age of 80.On his chest there is a sign that resembles a swastika but it has nothing to do with Hitler’s fascism because it is in an inverted order.It is actually a religious talisman used in ancient orient, symbolizing the concentration of happiness and auspiciousness.The Medicine Buddha is responsible for the Eastern Bright World.Since he can relieve people of all pains and sufferings, he is called the Medicine Buddha.He is holding a wheel, which signifies the unremitting effort of converting people to Buddhism just like turning a wheel.Amitabha Buddha is in charge of the Western Paradise.He is holding a golden lotus blossom stand with which he extradites Buddhist believers to the Western Pure Land, therefore he is also called the Buddha of Guidance.In front of the Medicine Buddha is a hollow wooden fish.It is actually an instrument used by the monks to accompany the chanting of their prayers.But do you happen to know why it is in the pattern of a fish? Now let me tell you about it.The monks think that fish is the most diligent animal in the world because it never closes its eyes, therefore the image of the fish is used to advise people that they should practice Buddhism as diligently as the fish.On both sides of the hall stand 20 Heavenly Gods, all protectors of Buddhist laws.They all bend slightly as if they are listening attentively to Sakyamuni’s preaching.The first one on the right side is Brahma, the chief god of Brahmanism in ancient India.It was believed in ancient India that all living creatures in the world, including gods and men, were created by him and he was thus honored as the Great Creator.Next to him is Yamaraja, the God of Hell, who is in charge of the nether world.The fourth one on this side is Goddess of Loving Children.There is an interesting story about her.It is said that before she became a goddess she was a wicked woman.She herself had many children, 500 in all, including 3 sons and 497 daughters.Her favorite child was her youngest son named Ai Nu, now standing by her side.As she always ate the children of other people, Buddha decided to convert her.One day, he hid Ai Nu in a jar.When the woman found her child missing she looked for him everywhere but could not find him.Then Buddha came up to her and said, “If you are worried when your child is missing, what about other mothers whose children you have eaten?” From then on she began to discipline herself and finally became a goddess.This is the Emperor of the Solar Palace, or say the Chinese Apolo, opposite him is the Chinese Diana, the emperor of the Lunar Palace.The last statue on this side is the Dragon King.(at the back of the Grand Hall)Ladies and gentlemen, behind the statue of Sakyamuni there is a giant mural sculpture.In the middle is the statue of Bodhisattva Guanyin.Guanyin was originally named Guanshiyin but later abbreviated into Guanyin because the character “shi” was one of the characters in the Tang Emperor Li Shimin’s name and was considered a forbidden name.Guanyin often takes the image of a goddess in order to convert women to Buddhism.Actually he can incarnate into 32 images to convert people from all walks of life and relieve people from all kinds of sufferings.Any living creature in trouble needs only to recite his name and he will respond to the cry and readily come to help riding on the head of a huge turtle.That’s why he is described as a Bodhisattva of Great Mercy.By her two sides are her two disciples, San Cai the boy and Long Nu the girl.Above Guanyin is a statue of Sakyamuni when he was doing ascetic practices in a forest.A monkey on the right is offering preaches to him and a deer on the left is giving him milk to drink.Now a few words about San Cai, the boy and Long Nu, the girl.It is said that when San Cai was born, a number of treasures came with him, hence his name.By the way, “Can” in Chinese means “wealth”.He was later converted by Bodhisattva Manjusri, the Bodhisattva of Great Wisdom, and went on a pilgrimage to the south in search of teaching.He was going to call on 53 teachers and then met Guanyin, hoping to obtain the guidance to buddhahood.There are altogether 53 statues on the mural sculpture, excluding the 18 arhats.They were all supposed to be San Cai’s teachers.He came to them one after the other.Guanyin was his 27th teacher.Long Nu, the daughter of Dragon King, was a genius.At the age of 8 she often attended lectures by Manjusri.Later she met the Buddha and attained buddhahood.Below are 18 arhats, all disciples of Sakyamuni.According to Buddhist scripture, Sakyamuni asked them to stay permanently on the earth to help convert people to Buddhism.Arhats have three characteristics, namely, they can rid of all worries, they should be supported and offered by all people, and they enter nirvana once for all and never incarnate again.(in the Hall of the Reclining Buddha)Ladies and Gentlemen: in the middle of the hall we can see a jade statue of the reclining Buddha.This is Sakyamuni in his deathbed, or say, entering nirvana.We can see him looking slightly upward and reclining on his right arm.Some may ask why he looks so calm and carefree.It is said that in his entire life-time he had taught 500 disciples, therefore, he felt no worry because he firmly believed that his disciples would carry forward his principles and preach his doctrines to emancipate mankind.This statue, 96 cm long, is carved out of a single piece of jade.It was brought from Burma together with the other statue in sitting posture.The carving was exquisitely done with delicate features and a slender figure, it is considered a rare Buddhist relic, which contributes to Jade Buddha Temple’s reputation.Now ladies and gentlemen, over here we can see four pictures on the wall of the hall which describe the life story of Sakyamuni.The first one, “Tonsure”, describes Sakyamuni having his head tonsured and clothes changed into a monk’s robe when he came a monk at the age of 29;the second, “Enlightenment”, after six years ascetic practice he became enlightened and attained buddhahood at the age of 35;the third, “Preaching”, Sakyamuni is preaching to his first five disciples;and the fourth, “Nirvana”, Sakyamuni entered nirvana at the age of 80.(before entering the Jade Buddha Chamber)Ladies and gentlemen, we are going to visit the last main structure on the axis---the Jade Buddha Chamber.It is located on the second floor.Please do not take pictures or video tape-recording in the chamber.(in the Jade Buddha Chamber)Ladies and Gentlemen, the statue in front of us is the Jade Buddha in sitting posture.Since Buddhism is a leading religion in China, there are a great number of statues of Sakyamuni all over the country, and most of them are made out of stone, clay, or wood, but a jade statue of the Buddha of this size is rare.It is 1.92 meter in height and 1.34 meter in width.The jewels on his head, arms and feet are all genuine ones.They were donated by Buddhist believers.The statue was carved out of a single piece of jade.It is soft in luster, even in color, pure and flawless in texture and exquisite in workmanship.This statue reflects Sakyamuni’s getting enlightened.We can see that his left hand rests on his left knee showing his great determination of deep meditation while his right hand stretches out onto the ground indicating that he had devoted himself to the emancipation of all mankind and this could only be witnessed by the great earth.When monk Hui Gen found the jade in Burma, he had it excavated under the permission of the Burmese King and had the Tibetan artisans carve it into a Buddha Statue, so it is a crystallization of the friendship of different nations.This statue looks life-like, with gentle and soft features and is considered a precious relic of Buddhist art.This is the reason why the temple enjoys a high reputation.In the cabinets on both sides are kept a complete set of Buddhist scripture, Da Zang Sutra, which was block-printed in 1870.this set of scripture covers Sakyamuni’s teachings by moth, Buddhist doctrines, and Buddhist theories.(in the courtyard in front of the Abbot’s Room)
This is the Abbot’s Room, where the abbot priest lives.It is also a sermon hall where the monks attend lectures by the abbot priest.On the middle wall is hung the portrait of Priest Dharma, honored as the founder of the Chan Sect in Chinese Buddhism.

山西省导游现场考试口试景点讲解:悬空寺导游词
各位朋友:
大家好!欢迎您在这个吉祥美好的日子,光临中华五岳之一的北岳恒山。
莽莽苍苍蜿蜒起伏的北岳恒山,有许多奇特的景观,古有“恒山十八景”之说,其中最负盛名的便是建于北魏后期距今已有1500多年历史的悬空寺。
悬空寺始建于北魏太和十五年(公元491年),金、明、清均有重修,现为明清建筑风格,是国家级重点文物保护单位。整个建筑具有险、奇、巧的特点,共有楼阁40余间,从低到高三层迭起,最高处三教殿距峡谷深处的高度曾为90余米,由于1500余年峡谷河床沙石沉积,现高度仅为45米,但站在三教殿仍有身临险境的感觉。这座纯木构建筑,瞩目远望,仿佛是一幅玲珑剔透的浮雕,大有凌空欲飞之势,鬼斧神工,令人叹为观止。民间道:“悬空寺,半天高,三尺马尾空中吊”,大诗人李白则用“危楼高百尺,手可摘星辰,不敢高声语,恐惊天上人”来形容之。据史料记载,初建时,寺院高出地面近百米,而支撑寺院的仅仅是十几根碗口粗的柱子。悬空寺为什么建在这悬崖峭壁之上而不与地相接?据史料记载,南北朝时期,随着政治势力的分裂,道教也分为南北天师道场。北魏时期,太武帝拓跋焘崇信道教,曾一度灭佛兴道,并且迎请嵩山道士寇谦之来京都平城设立道坛。太和十五年(公元491年),孝文帝拓跋宏下诏将天师道场移到恒山,就在当年,按照寇谦之道长“上延霄客,下绝嚣浮”的遗训修建了“崇虚寺”,后来人们根据崇虚寺建筑悬空的特点,改称如今的“悬空寺”。
悬空寺以西为正,大门朝南,整个建筑由南向北扩建而成,越往北走地势相对越高越狭窄。寺院由三部分组成,每部分都有一座三层式的楼阁,内设悬梯连接。第一部分是一个标准的寺院布局,由于建于悬崖峭壁之间,所以将一个平面的寺院布局立体化了。第一层是禅堂;第二层是大雄宝殿的两个配殿,为比肩式楼阁。真正体现“悬”的地方是第二部分和第三部分。两座楼之间飞架悬空栈道连接,半插飞梁为基,巧借岩石暗托。插入岩石里的横梁使用当地产铁杉,事先用桐油浸过,起到防虫防腐作用。之前先将木楔置于洞内,后将横梁插入,因石洞口小肚大,外边用力越大里边咬合就越紧,这样固定的横梁就把压力传到了岩石上。在横梁的下面用木柱支撑,这些木柱长短不一,有的着力,有的则虚设,甚至可以晃动,根本不受力,悬空寺像这样形似虚设、可以晃动的支柱有十多根。当然,这些虚柱不仅仅是作为装饰用的,一般情况下并不吃力,一旦承重压力增大,就起到一柱顶千斤的作用,从而使悬空寺形成一座似虚而实、似危而安、危中见俏的奇特建筑
悬空寺的选址充分显示出它的合理性,没有花费巨大的劳力去改造地貌,而是因地制宜,巧妙地利用峭壁的凹凸部分依势造殿,显示出各殿阁的主次错落和强烈的节奏感。寺庙建筑半藏绝壁之中,上有巨崖掩护,两旁又有突出的石壁遮挡,下雨时雨水顺崖而下,正好滴在寺庙前檐流入峡谷,避开了雨水对殿宇的侵蚀;山风吹来两旁突出的石壁减缓了风势,减少了对寺庙的威胁。另外,对面高耸的恒山主峰天峰岭遮挡太阳,相对缩短了寺庙的光照时间,就是日照时间最长的夏至时节,每天也只有三四个小时。这些因素是悬空寺巍然屹立1500多年,仍然保持原有风采的重要原因。
悬空寺不仅以建筑奇巧著称于世,最主要的就是反映了“三教合一”的宗教思想。全寺共有大小殿宇40间,其中最著名的就是“三教殿”。三教殿是体现“三教合一”的典型殿阁,位于悬空寺第三部分的最上层。三位教主共聚一堂,中间为佛教创始人释迦牟尼,左边为儒家创始人孔子,右边为道家鼻祖老子,三教供于一殿,在全国各地寺庙建筑中极为罕见。集中体现了中华民族民族共融,世界大同的崇高境界。
悬空寺不仅外形美观,转折升降的木梯上也同样具有艺术价值。木梯上用铁钉组成数十种莲花状的图案,如繁星灿烂,似铁水迸溅,令人赏心悦目,堪称古寺一绝。既起到保护木板和装饰的作用,又赋予了深刻的寓意。香客进寺,踏步而上,可谓“步步登莲,吉祥如意”。集实用、装饰、宗教价值于一身,可见古代建筑工匠的良苦用心。
全寺共有铜铸、铁铸、木雕、石刻、脱纱等塑像80余尊,其中最突出的是大雄宝殿内的3尊脱纱佛像。其做法先用胶泥塑成泥胎,再用南方生产的麻(也叫夏布)一层层地裹,裹到一定成型的厚度,再磨光、油漆、上彩、贴金。塑完后把里边的泥胎从底部掏出,整个塑像形成空壳,高度达50厘米的塑像,净重不超过3公斤,为悬空寺塑像中的一绝。
古往今来,悬空寺以它独特的魅力吸引了不少文人墨客。公元735年,大诗人李白云游至此,挥毫书写了“壮观”两个大字;公元1633年,大旅行家徐霞客游历悬空寺后,在他的游记当中留下了“天下巨观”的赞誉;英国的一位建筑学家曾无限感慨地说过这样一段话:“中国的悬空寺把美学、力学、宗教巧妙地融为一体,达到了尽善尽美,我真正懂得了毕加索所说‘世界上真正的艺术在东方’这句话的含义,悬空寺不仅是中国人民的骄傲,而且是全人类的骄傲。”
