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：岳麓书院
岳麓书院导游词
各位朋友：大家好！欢迎大家来到千年学府——岳麓书院参观游览，很高兴能作为大家此次游览的导游！
我们现在所处的这个位置呢就是岳麓书院的大门了，请大家抬头看一下，有一块“千年学府”的匾。为什么岳麓书院有千年学府之称呢？原来啊岳麓书院从潭州太守朱洞创建于宋太祖开宝九年，也就是公元976年，距今啊已经有一千多年的历史了。所以有千年学府之称，岳麓书院它与江西白鹿洞书院、河南嵩阳书院及睢阳书院并称为中国古代四大书院。好了。接下来就让我们一起去感受一下这一千年学府的浓厚的文化气息吧！
大家现在看到的就是岳麓书院的平面图了。大家可以发现岳麓书院的古建筑在布局上所采用的是中轴对称、纵深多进的古院落形式，其中讲堂呢是位于中轴线的中心，也是整个书院的中心位置。书院的建筑主要有三个部分的功能：讲学、藏书和祭祀。
我们现在所站的地方就是赫曦台了。赫曦台呀就是古时候酬神演戏的舞台。当年，朱熹应理学大师张拭的邀请来岳麓书院讲学的时候，常常很早就爬到岳麓山顶去看日出，每当看到日出呢就高声拍手欢呼：“赫曦、赫曦。”意思呢是红红的太阳升起来了，后来张拭修了一个台，取名“赫曦台”。
沿着中轴线我们就来到了岳麓书院的大门了。请大家抬头看一下大门上面“岳麓书院”这一块匾，这是北宋第二个皇帝宋真宗御赐的，其原匾在抗日战争中被日机所炸毁，现在我们所看到的是1984年按照照片所复制的。现在大家在看向两边的对联：“惟楚有才，于斯为盛。”上联“惟楚有才”呢是出自与《左转》。下联“于斯为盛”出自与《论语》。那么这一副对联也道出了岳麓书院作为天下最辉煌的英才荟萃之地的历史事实。
我们现在来到了讲堂。讲堂是讲学的中心场所，当年朱熹在岳麓书院讲学的时候在这里写了“忠孝廉节”四个大字，所以啊又称“忠孝廉节堂”。讲堂内共有三块匾，分别是“实事求是”、“学达性天”和“道南正脉”。
首先我们来看第一块匾：“实事求是”是民国初期湖南工专校长宾步程先生所撰写的。毛泽东青年时曾寓居学院的半学斋，“实事求是”对他的思想形成产生了重大的影响，在后来的革命实践中，他丰富和发展了“实事求是”的内涵，使“实事求是”成为毛泽东思想的精髓。
大家再看第二块匾：“学达性天”，这是康熙皇帝御赐的。“学达性天”是一种理学思想。这里的“性”指的是人性，“天”是指天道，程朱理学认为，人的善良本性是天道所赋，教育的目的是要恢复人的天命之性，达到天人合一的境界。皇帝所赐匾，意在勉励学子张扬理学，加强自身的修养，同时告诉人们在这里求学，可以获得德性修养，达到天人合一的学问的最高境界。
最里面的这块“道南正脉”匾是乾隆皇帝为了表彰岳麓书院在传播理学方面的功绩所赐的，其意思是岳麓书院所传播的朱张湖湘学是理学向南传播后的正统。匾为原物，这里的“道”指的就是理学。说了这么多，大家可能会问，什么是理学呢？理学就是儒家学说发展到了宋代的一种称法。理学的开山鼻祖是我们湖南籍的一位叫周敦颐的老先生，而发展壮大理学思想的则是著名的程颐、程颢hào两兄弟。
大家再往下看，讲堂的正中是一个高约1米的长方形讲堂，这是以前老师讲课的地方，上面摆着两把椅子是为了纪念张栻shì和朱熹这两位大师而设的。当年两位会讲的时候，盛况空前，从全国各地赶来听讲的人数达数千，可见当时朱、张两人名声之大。想想看，历史上多少名人如曾国藩、左宗棠、王夫之、魏源等等，当年他们就是坐在这底下听老师讲课的。
下面我们将参观书院做为藏书功能的部分—御书楼。这是书院里藏书的地方，相当于我们现在的图书馆，我们今天的游览也将要结束了，经过今天的参观，相信大家对岳麓书院这一千年学府的历史和文化已经有了一个大致的了解。谢谢大家！
