Now we come to Hanwengong Shrine, which is beside Hangjiang river and west of Bijia mountain.This shrine had been constructed since Song Dynasty and become the oldest existing and the most completed reservation memorial of Han Yu, who is the great literary man in Tang Dynasty.In the year of A.D.819, for some political reason, Han Yu was exiled to Chaozhou, a backland at that time.But he was not depressed by this, he helped local people to develop education, agriculture, irrigation and release slaves.To memorize what he had contributed to the development of Chaozhou, people constructed this shrine and name him “Hanwengong” respectfully.The two sentences carved in this ancient book like stone are extracted from one of Han Yu’s text to encourage people to study, and its meaning is: hard working improves your career, meditation leads to success.The shrine is constructed cling to mountains and has front and back two parts.Now we play a small game: count the stone steps, later I’ll tell you a secret.How many steps there are?

第三篇:韩文公祠导游词
说到韩愈我想大家都不陌生,韩愈,字退之,世称韩昌黎或韩文公,今河南孟县人,唐代古文运动的倡导者,宋代苏轼称他“文起八代之衰”,到了明朝他被推为唐宋八大家之首,与柳宗元并称“韩柳”,有“文章巨公”和“百代文宗”之名。《师说》
唐宪宗元和十四年(公元819年),韩愈因“谏迎佛骨”,被贬谪潮州。大家知道唐初几个皇帝都是佛教的信徒,佛教在当时是盛极一时。元和十四年大约是公元819年,唐宪宗要迎佛骨也就是舍利入宫内供养三日。韩愈听到这一消息,写下《谏迎佛骨》,上奏宪宗,说不应信仰佛教,并列举历朝迷信佛的皇帝“运祚不长”。但韩愈终究没能阻挡宪宗迎佛骨,还险些丧命。之后就被贬潮州,不过第二年,“奉佛太过”的唐宪宗皇帝就一呜呼了,这倒证明了韩愈所说的‘事佛求福,乃更得祸’。这些都是题外话。
韩祠始建于北宋咸平二年(公元999年),最初建在金山,后来迁到州南七里,南宋淳熙十六年(公元1189年)才迁到这里,算起来也有八百多年的历史了。其实潮州人都很庆幸韩愈被贬,韩愈在潮州期间担任潮州刺史,祭鳄,释婢,兴学,劝农,历代潮人都很怀念他的功绩,韩祠内有一块碑上刻:“若无韩夫子,人心尚草菜。”就是说,如果没有韩愈,那潮州就还是一个蛮荒之地,这便是对他极高的评价。
门口那一座古书形的石雕,上面刻写了韩文公在《进学解》中的两句名言:“业精于勤荒于嬉,行成于思毁于随。”意思是说:勤奋是事业精进的前提,深思是行为成功的保证。
正门上面写着的“韩文公祠”四字,是1984年胡耀邦总书记视察潮州所留下的手迹。韩祠依山而建,前边是韩祠的主体,后落是侍郎阁,这些石阶一共有51级,是纪念韩愈51岁时到潮州。大家是要走一下51级,还是走那边【天南碑胜】,一边走一边看历代名家的书法?那好,这边走,“天南碑胜”是当今我国著名书家和政要称颂韩文公的诗文碑刻,碑廊里摹刻有当代名人名家为韩祠题写的书法作品共四十幅。顺带一提,韩祠现存有历代官员文人所留下的37块石刻。百米碑廊展示的除了书法石刻,还有这些珍贵的照片。可见韩愈的影响力并非潮州一方。
这韩祠前原有韩愈亲手植下的橡木,当然现在民间传说:橡木开花的多少,可以预示当年科举考试录取率的高低。韩祠橡木后来成为潮州八景之一。
平台上这八条打横的石板象征韩愈在潮州为官八个月的时间。这些设计每一步都有它独特的韵意。
这边的一副楹联,上联是:辟佛累千言,雪冷蓝关,从此儒风开海峤;下联是:到潮才八月,潮平鳄渚,于今香火遍嬴洲。上联说他来潮州的缘由及到潮之后使读书的风气遍及海滨。下联说他到潮州只做了八个月的官,但驱除鳄鱼,功德无量,历代都没有忘记他。
正殿左侧有碑刻:“功不在禹下”,出自韩文公自己的文章,本来是韩愈称赞孟子的话,但后人反过来用这句话来赞美他。他来潮州之后除办学校,驱除鳄鱼、释放奴隶之外,还积极发展农桑,修筑水渠,就象古代大禹一样。更深一层的含意是:意识形态中的异端邪说也有如洪水猛兽一类的灾害,而治理洪水,不管是自然界的还是思想界的,关键在于疏导而不能一味地堵塞。
后面的侍郎阁是1984年以后修缮韩祠时才建的其实韩文公祠可以作为潮汕古代建筑艺术的一个范例。当你从祠里回眸,或者在祠外凭栏,视野变得如许宽阔,偌大一个潮州城,竟就像韩文公祠的外庭。
这就是韩祠与庙学的不同。在庙学建筑空间中,孔子示予人的,是一种高深莫测的神秘。而韩祠,使人感觉到韩文公的崇高,也使人感受到韩文公与潮汕人的接近。
第四篇:包公祠导游词
包公祠全名“包公孝肃祠”,位于合肥市 环城南路东段的一个土墩上,是包河公园的主 体古建筑群。明弘治元年(1488年).庐州知 府宋鉴在此修建包书院,故名为包公祠。这个土墩又有“香花墩”的雅号。包公祠是纪念宋龙图阁直学士、礼部侍郎、开封府尹包文拯的公祠。祠为白墙青瓦构筑的 封闭式三合院组成。主建筑是包公享堂,端坐包拯高大塑像,壁嵌黑石包公刻像,威严不阿,表现了“铁面无私”的黑脸包公的凛然正气。享堂西面配以曲榭长廊;东面有一六角龙井亭 耸立,内有古井,号“廉泉”。亭栏画栋顶端雕有浮龙,晴天白日,龙影映人井底,随着井水晃动,如龙飞舞,俗称“龙井”。清末举 人李国苇根据传说写了《井享记》,发出“抑或孝肃祠旁之井为廉 泉,不廉者饮此头痛欤,是未可知也”的议论,世人改称“廉泉”。其祠四面环水,正门朝南,西廊陈列包氏支谱、遗物、包公家 训和包公墨迹,以及有关史册资料。祠四周即包河,相传生红花藕,断之无丝,“包老直道无私、竟及于物”,因此传为佳话。与包孝肃祠紧连的是包河南畔林区的包孝肃公墓园。园内面积 1200平方米,墓园内迁安了包拯及其夫人、子孙的遗骨。包公曾言:"后世子孙仕宦有犯赃者,不得放归本家,死不得葬大茔中。不从 吾志,非吾子孙也。”故有“不肖子孙,不得入墓”的传说。墓园 由主墓区、附墓区和管理区组成。主墓呈“覆斗型”,墓室内安放有包拯墓志铭和2.4米长的金丝楠木棺,棺内安放包拯遗骨。北侧 是附墓区,有包拯夫人董氏及其子、媳等墓5座。整个墓园庄重肃 穆,寓包拯禀性峭直、刚毅之意。?
包公祠全名“包公孝肃祠”,位于合肥市环城南路东段的一个土墩上,是包河公园的主体古建筑群。明弘治元年(1488年)。庐州知府宋鉴在此修建包公书院,故名为包公祠。这个土墩又有“香花墩”的雅号。包公祠是纪念宋龙图阁直学士、礼部侍郎、开封府尹包文拯的公祠。
祠为白墙青瓦构筑的封闭式三合院组成。主建筑是包公亭堂,端坐包拯高大塑像,壁嵌黑石包公刻像,威严不阿,表现了“铁面无私”的黑脸包公的凛然正气。亭堂西面配以曲榭长廊;东面有一六角龙井亭耸立,内有古井,号“廉泉”。亭栏画栋顶端雕有浮龙,晴天白日,龙影映人井底,随着井水晃动,如龙飞舞,俗称“龙井”。
清末举人李国苇根据传说写了《井亭记》,发出“抑或孝肃祠之井为廉泉,不廉者饮此头痛欤,是未可知也”的议论,世人改称“廉泉”。其祠四面环水,正门朝南,西廊陈列包氏支谱、遗物、包公家训和包公墨迹,以及有关史册资料。祠四周即包河,相传生红花藕,断之无丝,“包老直道无私、竟及于物”,因此传为佳话。
包公祠占地1公顷,由大殿,二殿,东西配殿,半壁廊,碑亭组成。风格古朴,庄严肃穆。祠内陈展有包公铜像,龙,虎,狗铜铡,包公断案蜡像,《开封府题名记碑》,包公正史演义等文物史料。包公祠有正殿、回澜轩、清心亭、直道坊、东轩等建筑。祠两侧外廊门拱上刻有“廉顽”、“立懦”四个醒目大字,在“包孝肃公词”大直匾下黑漆大门上,书有红底金字的对联“忠贤将相”、“道德传家”。
包公祠的正堂,供奉着用檀香木雕刻的包公彩绘像。包公白面、长髯、儒雅、端庄。他坐在神坛上,左立捧印文官,右立持剑武吏,案几上放着令箭、朱笔、虎头签、惊堂木等,仿佛升堂在即。令人颇感兴趣的是这个包公并非黑脸,而是一个白面儒生,额头也没有日月阴阳眼,或许这才是“包拯”真实的尊容。摆在大堂一侧的三把铜铡:龙头铡、虎头铡、狗头铡,寒气逼人,那里终日围满了参观的游人。这三把铡刀是老百姓心目中的正义之剑!它与包大人须臾不离,仿佛再现了包公在开封府升堂办案的正气与威严。好一派“色正芒寒”、“节亮风清”的“庐阳正气”!
祠堂西南之流芳亭,相传包公幼年时常来此读书,以为纪念。祠堂东南角的廉泉亭,亭中有井,亭内石壁上刻有《香花墩井亭记》,记中说:有一个太守喝了这里的泉水,头痛欲裂,原来他是个贪官;而几位举人饮了此水,顿觉水甜如蜜,原来他们都是好人。故此井名为“廉泉”。现在合肥已生产“廉泉”啤酒。以表达对包公的怀念和崇敬之情。
关于亭外的包河还有一段故事:仁宗皇帝封包公为龙图阁大学士时,还将半个庐州城赏赐给他,谁知包公却说:“臣作官是为国家和黎民百姓,不是为了请赏,所以我不要。”仁宗听了暗暗称赞,但又觉得一点不赏赐,心里又过意不去,于是就说:“那就把包家门前那段人工河赏赐给你吧!”包公想:河不比田地,不好分,不好卖,富不了,也穷不尽,就谢恩接受了。说也奇怪,世上的藕,丝都很多,而且藕断丝连,可是包河里的藕,丝却很少,人们说:这是因为包公无私的缘故。回澜轩在正殿之西,东、北临水,古时为官宦、文人避暑饮宴之处。
此外,包公祠里还有“直道坊”和“清心亭”,此乃包拯《题郡斋壁》里的诗句:“清心为治本,直道是身谋”,他认为清廉是治世的根本,正直是为人的准则。所以包公祠不仅是一个很有特色的游览胜地,又是寓教于人的好地方。
在包公祠内有一块引人的刻石,此乃是1973年4月从合肥市东郊大兴集包拯墓中清理出来的“宋枢密副使赠礼部尚书孝肃包公墓铭”刻石,这块墓志刻石较《宋史·包拯传》更为详细地叙述了包拯的一生,可以起到补史的作用,极为珍贵。碑中记叙了包拯好几件铁面无私、刚直不阿的事迹,其中有这样两件:包拯在其家乡任庐州知府时,性情峭直,“故人、亲党皆绝之”。当时,他的一位亲戚犯了法,被人告到府里,包拯铁面无私,依法处治,打他一顿大板;张尧佐是仁宗的宠妃张贵妃的叔父,无德无能,仅凭亲戚关系,仁宗一次就授予他四个军政要职。针对仁宗皇帝的任人唯亲,包拯专门上了一篇《请绝内降》的奏疏。以后他又接连上奏疏数道,阐述“大恩不可以频假,群心不可以因违”的道理,他认为:“假之频,则损威;违之固,则兆乱”。由于包拯据理力谏,终于使仁宗“感其忠恳”,不得不削去张尧佐的两个要职。到河南开封游览的人,多想探寻包公的遗踪,然因开封多次被黄河水淹没,目前惟一流传下来的仅一个碑石,此碑即北宋“开封府题名记”碑,今保存在开封市博物馆内。碑上按先后顺序题刻着北宋开封府从第一任到最后一任知府183人的姓名和上任年月。由于包拯执法严明,铁面无私,深受群众崇敬,人们参观碑石时总是在他的名字上指指点点,称颂不已,久而久之竟将姓名磨去,而刻下了深深的指痕。从这极深的指痕中,可以看出包公在人民心目中的位置。

晋祠导游词

Through carefully taste,knowing that Jinci is a elegant palace,it has comfort environment and beautiful scenic.More important,I had tasted the rich cultural heritage and human breath.At the same time also reminded us that history is a mirror,but also a profound textbooks.We need t continue to explore and develop.Only by learning to climb higher, go farther。
各位游客们,大家好!欢迎来到晋祠,下面我就带大家去细细游赏一番吧!希望通过我的讲解陪您度过这次美好时光。
人云:“不到晋祠,枉到太原。”又有人说:“初到太原的人,不去参观晋祠,犹如外国友人到北京未去游览紫禁城那样遗憾。”所以到了太原一定要去晋祠看看。晋祠,是集中国古代祭祀建筑、园林、雕塑、壁画、碑刻艺术为一体的唯一而珍贵的历史文化遗产,也是世界建筑、园林、雕刻艺术中心及全国重点文物保护单位之一。位于太原市西南郊25公里处的悬瓮山麓。晋祠原为纪念晋国开国君主唐叔虞而建。创建年代已不可考。北魏郦道元的<<水经注>>就有关于唐叔虞祠(即晋祠)的记载,可见当时已经颇为出名了。
晋祠现已称为一个有着几十座古建筑的中国古典园林的游览胜地。晋祠的文物古迹很多,比较著名的有:
1.圣母殿和其中的42尊侍女像。圣母殿原名“女郎祠”,是晋祠的主体,也是现在晋祠的最古老的建筑(始建于北宋),殿高19米,面宽7间,进深6间,殿的四周有围廊。建筑学家们认为这个殿是宋代建筑的代表作。殿内有宋代彩塑43尊。主像圣母端坐木制神龛内;其余42尊侍女像分列两侧。圣母传为姬虞之母邑姜。这些彩塑中,邑姜居中而座,神态庄严,雍容华贵,凤冠霞披,是一尊宫廷统治者形象。塑像形象逼真,造型生动,情态各异,是研究宋代雕塑艺术和服饰的珍贵资料。侍女像身高与真人相仿,姿态自然,神情各异,举手投足,顾盼生姿,世态人情,纤毫毕现,几乎可以给她们每人立个小传。这些侍从都是各有专职,身份、性格也是无一雷同,有的伺候饮食,有的负责梳洗,有的专管打扫,真实地表现了被禁锢,受奴役的精神面貌,是中国古代现实主义艺术雕像珍品,在中国美术史上占重要地位。
2.晋祠的参天古树也给人以深刻的印象。周柏,又名“齐年柏”,也名卧龙柏,这是由于它形似卧龙,树身向南倾斜,与地面的角度成为45度,头枕撑天柏,形若游龙侧卧,人们才以卧龙之名称之。这株古柏,位于晋祠圣母殿右侧的苗裔堂前。这株古柏从周代至今,经历了历朝历代的风风雨雨,虽然老态龙钟,但它体魄依然健壮,成为中华古老文明的化身。齐年柏,根据相关机构的科学检测,树龄在2600年———2990年之间。为国家一级珍稀古树。这株树,树高17.44米,树围5.58米,主干直径1.77米。这株树虽然历经数千年,但依然挺立在晋祠圣母殿旁,依然苍劲挺拔,品位不凡,枝干舒张曲屈,树影扶苏,姿态优美,半躺半卧,悠然自得,不拘一格,甚是威风而且潇洒。就是这株古柏,引来了中国古代众多文人的赞誉和夸奖,历代讴歌者甚多。中国宋代著名文学家欧阳修,曾以“地灵草木得余润,郁郁古柏含苍烟”来歌颂它。唐槐在祠内的关帝庙内,老枝纵横,盘根错节。
3.难老泉,素有“晋阳第一泉”之誉,与侍女像、齐年柏并称“晋祠三绝”。晋水有三个源泉,一是善利泉,一是鱼沼泉,一是难老泉。难老泉是三泉中的主泉,晋水的源头就从这里流出,长年不息,水温保持在17℃,每秒流量是1.8立方米,灌溉着附近数万亩稻田。
难老泉 关于难老泉,有一个“柳氏坐瓮,饮马抽鞭”的民间故事。说是晋祠北面的金胜村有一个姓柳的女子,嫁到了古唐村,受婆婆的虐待,每天都要到远处去挑水。一天,在挑水的路上,她碰见一位骑马的老人向她讨水饮马。虽然这一担水她好不容易从远处挑来,但是善良的柳氏还是把这一担水全送给老人饮马了。老人临走时送给柳氏一根马鞭,回家放进瓮里,用水时只须稍许提鞭水瓮即满,但千万不能把鞭子提出瓮外。切记!切记!柳氏回家之后一试,果然如此。后来,婆婆发现媳妇不再挑水,而水缸里的水却始终是满的,心中不免产生怀疑,就趁媳妇不在家,偷偷地察看,发现了水缸中的马鞭,心想这是一个宝贝,伸手过去把马鞭提出缸外,一时之间,缸里的水马上喷涌而出,向四处漫流。正在娘家梳头的柳氏发觉水涌出来了,知道是婆婆把马鞭子拉出水瓮,情急中她一手夹草垫,一手执木梳,披散着还没梳好的半拉头发跑回家中,只见瓮里的大水象泉水一样不住地往外喷涌,她顾不上喘气,就慌忙把草垫往瓮上一扣,自己奋然一跃坐在了瓮上。说也奇怪,春英坐到瓮上后,水势顿时变缓,一下子由汹涌的大水变成了涓涓的细流,顺着草垫子不停地往外流泄。不一会,村里的大水也渐渐地退了,人们才想起春英,纷纷赶到她家。只见春英端然坐在水瓮上,一手持梳,一手挽发,正在安详地梳头。不管人们怎么呼唤她,她也不应声,临近一看,原来春英早已坐化成仙了。只有那股清泉,从她坐的水瓮的草垫下涓涓流出,这就是潺潺不息的“难老泉”水。后人为了纪念这位善良的女子,称她为水母,在难老泉的西侧建起了水母楼,楼内塑有一尊端庄秀丽的水母塑像。
通过对晋祠各名胜的游览及解说,不仅让游客对晋祠有了更深的印象,而且也丰富了自己的课外知识,对所学专业也起到一定的促进作用。同时也认识到自己所学的东西可谓少之又少,只有不断汲取,才能成为众人眼中的佼佼者。“活到老,学到老”,这才是亘古不变的真理。
