白塔寺英文导游词
Located in the western part of downtown Beijing, the White Pagoda Temple, or Baita Si, is one of the most famous structures in the city.“The White Pagoda Temple is a symbol of old Beijing, so the bus station near the temple is named after it.”
“I know the White Pagoda Temple.As soon as I arrived in Beijing, I heard its name.”
The White Pagoda Temple was one of the most important projects when Kublai Khan, the first emperor of the Yuan Dynasty, established his capital at Dadu, now Beijing, some 700 years ago.The pagoda was designed by Nepalese architect Araniko to commemorate the Buddhist relics of Sakyamuni and to symbolize the magical powers of the deity as well as the emperor.Originally known as Miao Ying Si, the temple was later renamed the White Pagoda Temple because of the white pagoda inside.The White Pagoda, designed in the shape of an inverted alms bowl, is now the biggest and oldest preserved Tibetan Buddhist pagoda in China.Longtime Beijing resident Bai Zhuo witnessed the most prosperous days of the temple.“There were many temples near the white pagoda, and a regular temple fair was held there every ten days.At that time, the White Pagoda Temple was always full of people who came to buy daily essentials.My friends and I used to visit it often.Though we did not need to buy anything, we liked to go there and enjoy the festive atmosphere of the temple fair.”
In the old days, the White Pagoda Temple fair was one of the most important events in residents' daily lives.Even today, many Beijing natives still have clear memories of it.Quan Jinghe has lived in the neighborhood near the temple for over forty years.“You could find various kinds of goods at the temple fair, including food, clothes, furniture-almost everything you needed.Stalls behind the pagoda which sold snacks were the children's favorites, especially those selling typical Beijing snacks.Adults enjoyed the different performances put on in the middle part of the temple, such as Peking Opera and acrobatics.”
Quan's wife smilingly recalls a story from her childhood.“I saw a group of children peeping though the gate of the temple, so I did the same thing out of curiosity.What did I see? I saw the statue of Zhou Cang, a strong, legendary warrior with a dark face and a wiry beard.It looked horrible in the dark.I was scared by the scene and refused to go to the temple fair for a long time afterwards.”
Temple fairs in the White Pagoda Temple ceased after the 1950s.The longtime residents love the temple and don't want to leave it, so they remain in their old houses near the temple, hidden from the bustling metropolis that is modern Beijing.In the past years, the temple and its nearby neighborhood have been shot in many popular TV series as a scene to indicate Old Beijing and the traditional Beijing life.For old Beijing natives like Quan Jinghe and his neighbors, the White Pagoda Temple is not only a symbol of the old
city, but also a vital part of their lives.

Ladies and gentlemen，Welcome to KM, a beautiful city of eternal spring.My name is Tom, and I am pleased to be your tour guide.An old Chinese saying goes like this: friends should come from afar, isn’t this delightful? So I am very delighted to have this chance to serve you, to show you the most beautiful of KM and YN, to feed you the most delicious local food, to introduce to you the most precious local specialties.In one word, I’ll try my best to help you have a happy and gainful tour here.Now, you must want to know some general info about this city.Situated at the center of YN-GZH Plateau, KM has a history of over 2400 years and now serves as the capital of YN Province.It features pleasant climate all the year round and various natural sceneries as well as places of historical interest.A poem portraits KM like this:
the weather is like April constantly，flowers blossom for four seasons.Hence its name ‘city of eternal spring’.It’s neither hot in summer nor cold in winter.The average temperature in summer is about 23℃ while that in winter is about 9℃, and the average temperature year round is approximately 15℃.There are two distinct seasons here: the dry season and the rainy season.The rainy season is from May to Oct.when the humid air from the Indian Ocean brings rich rainfall.The other months are the dry season with very few rains.So ladies and gentlemen, now you must have a question in your mind: why is the climate like this? The geographical location of KM is about at the same latitude with Guilin, Xiamen and Taipei.But these places are much hotter in summer and colder in winter.The reason mainly lies in the topography and landscape of KM.The city is located on the plateau area with an altitude of over 1800 m.So it’s not very hot in summer.In winter, the high mountains to the north of KM block the cold air from Siberia.Therefore, the affect of the cold air to the weather of KM is not as strong as other areas in China.Consequently, KM enjoys a pleasant climate all the year round.KM’s history goes back over 2000 years to the Waring States Period of ancient China.In BC 279, a general of Chu Kingdom in the area of today’s Hunan and Hubei provinces came here with his troops and settled down near Dianchi Lake which is a large lake adjoining the southwest edge of today’s KM city.In AD 109, during the reign of emperor Wudi of the Han Dynasty, the city of “Kunzhou” was established to the southeast of present day Kunming.Towards the end of the Yuan Dynasty, which was about 600 years ago, this area became known as KM County.In 1832, a traditional city with high wall was erected, which became Kunming municipality in 1928.In the book Guide to China the author says that if your time is limited while visiting China and you could only afford to travel around one place, the best choice is YN Province, because it is the most ethnically diverse province in China with various landscapes.It’s absolutely true.26 ethnic groups inhabit different areas of YN Province.During the long course of history, each ethnic group has developed their own unique culture and diverse customs.In different ethnic communities we can see different architectures, costumes, and taste local foods of various flavor, of which the most famous one is Across Bridge Rice Noodle whose name originated from an ancient legend.Most of the ethnic groups are good at singing and dancing and they also have their own traditional festivals, such as the Torch Festival of the Yi people, the Splashing Water Festival of the Dai people.Their marital customs are also different, among which the most amazing one is that of Muosuo people who is a branch of Naxi ethnic group and lives in Shangri-la.They actually don’t get married all their life.I’ll explain to you the details during our tour later.Now we’ve arrived at our hotel.Please gather your belongings and follow me.

Good morning!ladies and gentlemen： Today we will go and visit the yuelu academy!yuelu academy is one of the four famous academies in china, and it was established by zhudong, magistrate of tanzhou prefecture in 976a.d at the time of northern song dynasty.the academy accepted disciples throughout the song, yuan, ming and qing dynasties.it was only in 1903 that the academy was transformed from a school of traditional confucian learning to an insitute of higher learning and in 1926 it was officially named hunan university.Early in 1015, emperor zhen zong of the song dynasty awarded the academy hid majesty“s own handwriting ”yuelu academy“ on a tablet.form then on many famous scholars and great thinkers gave lectures here, among them were zhangshi, zhuxi and wangyangming, thus making a great impact on the province”s culture and education.most of the existing buildings here were constructions of the ming and qing dynasties, and the bulk of the engraved stone plates and inscribed tablets have all been kept intact, in 1956 the academy was listed as a historical site at the provincial level and later, in 1988 it became a historical site at the state level.the last restoration project started in 1981 and the major part was completed in 1987.Now, here we are at the “he xi platform”, “he xi” means the “the splendour of the sunrise”, it was named by zhuxi, a great idealist philosopher of the confucian school during the song dynasty, the platform was first built on the top of yuelu hill, by zhanshi, and later in 1528, a pavilion was built on it, but it became deserted with the passing time.in 1790 luodian, the master of the academy, built a platform at the present site, in 1820, the succeeding master, ouyang houjun, renamed it “he xi platform” in order to memory zhuxi and zhanshi.it was restored in 1868.On the inner walls of the platform are two big chinese characters “fu” and “shuo”, which mean “blessing” and “longevity” respectively.legend has it that the character “shuo ”was written with a broom soaked in yellow mud by a taoist master at the time master luodian was attending a banquet in honour of the examination officials and those dispels who had passed the civil exam hence it has been regarded as having “celestial touch” the character “fu” was written by luodian, the master himself.This gate in front of us is the main gate, the gate was formerly built at the time of the song dynasty, and was then called “central gate”.the main gate underwent both destruction and reconstruction in the course of time.the present structure was once
thoroughly renovated in 1868.The characters “yuelu academy” on the horizontal tablet were inscribed by emperor zhen zong of the song dynasty.it was presented as an award to zhoushi, the master of the academy, when he was summoned to the emperor“s presence.on both door posts are couplets which read ”
the kingdom of chu, unique home of the talents, the academy of yuelu, the very cradle of all “.it was composed in the qing dynasty by the master of the academy, yuan jiangang and his disciple zhang renjie.This gate was the second gate, it was first built in 1527 during the ming dynasty.it underwent repairs and restoration many times.it was completely devastated during the anti-japanese war.in 1984, the gate was restored to its former state.This is the lecture hall, where the students had lessons here, it was first built at the time of the song dynasty and was once named ”jing yi hall“.now, it has a more elaborate name ”the hall of the loyalty, filiality honesty and integrity“, because on the inner walls of the hall are engraved four big chinese characters:” loyalty, filiality, honesty and integrity.they were handwriting by the great scholar, zhuxi, who once lectured here.others, such as the school regulations, the administrations and way to read were masterpieces of the masters of the academy.on the two horizontal tablets hanging on top were written: “Learn before you can probe the infiniteness of the universe.” “The doctrines taught here in the south are genuine confucian doctrines.” They were inscribed by the emperor kangxi and qianlong respectively during the qing dynasty.The building in front of us is the yushu library, “yushu” literally means “imperial books”, so yushu library ,built in 999a.d in the early song dynasty, was a place to keep imperial books.books were continuously sent here during the succeeding dynasties.the library was first named “classics treasuring house” in the song dynasty, “classic venerating house” in the yuan and ming dynasties, and finally “yushu library” in the qing dynasty,.it had been repaired and expanded many times, and now it has a collection of over twenty thousand chinese classics.this building was rebuilt on its original site in 1986.The two small pavilions xi quan and ni lan , built during the song and ming dynasties, were restored to the right and left of the compound galleries in order to display cultural relics.
第五篇：赵州桥英文导游词
The well-known Zhaozhou Bridge, a large stone arch bridge on Xiao River in Zhaozhou, Hebei Province, is also known as Anji Bridge.It is the largest and oldest stone arch bridge in the world about which over the years many beautiful folk stories have been circulating.One day in the Spring and Autumn Period, the skilful artisan Lu Ban of the State of Lu arrived on the bank of Xiao River, carrying his tools on his back.On the swift waters of the wide river he saw two small ferryboats hurrying to and fro with passengers.A crowd of people were meanwhile waiting anxiously on the bank, some with wheelbarrows, others with heavy loads on their shoulder poles.But the ferryboat could carry only a small number of people aboard.Suddenly Lu Ban heard some say, “If only a bridge could be built over the river!” When he saw all this, Lu made up his mind to build a bridge across Xiao River for the people of Zhaozhou.According to the legend, at that very evening, Lu brought back some snow-white stone blocks from the Taihang Mountains to the south,and set to work immediately.At the daybreak when the cock crowed, Lu laid the last two stone labs on the bridge and the job was done.Picking up his tools, Lu Ban went on his way again to see what he could do for the people in other places.Zhaozhou Bridge is 50.82 meters long and 9.6 meters wide, the span of the large stone arch in the middle measuring 37.37 meters.There are two smaller symmetrical arches, one at each end.This kind of structure not only requires less building material but makes sluicing at times of flood easier.The bridge floor is smooth and flat with pavements for pedestrians on both sides, while carriages and carts can move in the middle.The apex of the arch is fairly high so that boats can easily clear it.The bridge is ingeniously designed with a well-proportioned layout, a solid structure, and a magnificent and attractive outward appearance.At both ends of the bridge, willow branches sway graceful, while, seen from the afar, the inverted image of the arch in the water resembles a rainbow spanning the Xiao River.News spread quickly that Lu Ban had built a stone arch bridge overnight.Towns people as well as villagers near and far flocked there in excitement to have a look at the bridge.Such a miracle also aroused the interest of Chai Rong the Fairy and one of the “Eight Legendary Immortals” Zhang Guolao.They wanted to test whether this large stone arch bridge was solid enough,and so decided to play a practical joke on Lu Ban.One night, Zhang Guolao came riding on a donkey, facing backward.On the back of the donkey were hung two heavy sacks containing in one the “sun” and the other the “moon”.Then came Chai Rong pushing a barrow on which were loaded the “five famous mountains.” Arriving together at the bridge, they met Lu Ban and asked him whether they could cross the bridge at the same time.Lu replied proudly, “Why, such a solidly-built bridge not being able to carry the two of you? Go ahead, please.” But to his astonishment, the bridge began to wobble as soon as they set foot upon it.Sensing the seriousness of the situation, Lu Ban jumped into the water and, with all his might, tried to prop up the eastern half of the bridge.In this way the two immortals were able to cross the bridge with their “sun” and “moon” and the “five famous mountains.” From then on, the bridge bore the hoof prints of the donkey Zhang Guolao rode, the dent left by Chai Rong's knee where he knelt on the ground, and the grooves left the wheel of the barrow.There was also Lu Ban's hand print where he tried to prop up the bridge.Today, the “imprints of immortals” are still there except Lu Ban's hand print because of a partial collapse later of the eastern half of the bridge.Lu Ban, Zhang Guolao and Chai Rong did not belong to the same age and so couldn't have met each other in the first place.It is also evident that Lu ban could not have built such a large stone bridge overnight.The myths and legends, however, are a reflection of the admiration felt by ordinary people for this stone arch bridge and the foud memory they cherish for its builders.In spite of the buffeting of the elements and the visitation of natural disasters over more than a thousand years, this large stone arch bridge still stands rock firm today.When, one may then ask, was Zhaozhou Bridge built? And who was it that designed and built it? The person in charge of its design and construction was an artisan called Li Chun who lived more than 13,000 years ago in the Sui Dynasty.His creativity and ingenuity in bringing into shape a bridge of such a unique design and structure have won the admiration of all.The Zhaozhou Stone Arch Bridge was technologically the most advanced in the world then.It was remarkable achievement in the history of ancient Chinese civilization, turning over a new leaf in the annals of bridge construction in the world.Bridge building projects with a similar design did not appear in Europe until the 14th century, that is, more than seven hundred years later than the Zhaozhou Bridge.
