The ShaoLin Temple The shaolin temple was first completed in 495, during the reign of Northern Wei Dynasty. In 527, Bodhidharma, the disciple of Sakyamuni of the 28th generation came here to practice Zen creed. As it was concealed in the thick woods of the shaoshi hill, it was given the name Shaolin Temple meaning “temple in the woods of Shaoshi Hill”. As you know, the shaolin temple is widely known not only for its ancient and mysterious Buddhist culture, but also for its martial arts, that is Kungfu in Chinese, which enjoys a tradition of some 20__ years. So that’s the saying “Chinese Kungfu taking the first place under the heaven” and “the best kungfu originating from shaolin temple.” In the year 20__, the temple sightseeing zone was designated to be one of the AAAAA—grade tourist attractions of China by the National Tourism Administration
Now we’re standing in front of the Front Gate Hall. Please look up at the plaque hanging above the lintel, and you’ll find the plaque bears three Chinese characters, Shaolin Si, the name of the temple. This is said to be handwritten by Emperor Kangxi of the Qing Dynasty. This work is very precious because the emperor r wrote. Ok please follow me. Just now, we have visited the Front Gate Hall, steles, ginkgos, and the Hall of the Heavenly Kings, and now, we are just in the principal hall in the temple, the Hall of Mahavira. This hall is enshrined with three main Buddhas in the central part. They are Sakyamuni Buddha sitting in the middle and Pharmacist Buddha of the Eastern Glazed World and Amitabha Buddha from the Western Paradise sitting on both sides. Along the gable walls, sit 18 Buddhist Arhats, who were enlightened Buddhist monks. On both sides in front of the Hall of Mahavira, stand the Bell Tower and the Drum Tower symmetrically. They were rebuilt in 1994 used to report hours for the temple. Normally the bell is used in the morning, while the drum, in the afternoon, hence the saying “morning bell and afternoon drum”.
In front of the Bell Tower is the stele called “the Stele of Li Shimin” telling the story about how the monks from the Shaolin Temple rescued Prince Li Shimin from being pursued and attacked by Wang Shichong during the late Sui Dynasty. Li Shimin, who later became the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty wrote the inscriptions on the stele personally,and left with a signature of Shi min on the stele. Ok please come with me, we are going to the next hall. So now, the pavilion in front of us, not like the Zangjingge and the Abbot’s rooms we visited just now, enjoys a moving story. It’s named Dharma’s Pavilion or Lixue Pavilion, that is “Standing in the snow” in English. It says： After Boddhi Dharma came to China, many Chinese Buddhist believers wanted to be his followers, and Shengguang was the most prominent of all of them. Healways followed him whenever and wherever he went and served Dharma with heart and soul. But Dharma didn’t agree to accept Shengguang as a disciple. Shengguang didn’t lose heart and became even more steadfast. On a snowy night, he begged as usual with Budhidharma outside, standing in the knee—high snow. The master set forward a prerequisite： he would not meet his demand unless it would snow in red flakes. Suddenly Shengguang drew out the sword and cut off his left arm and stained the snowy ground. Bodhidharma was so moved that he passed his mantle, alms bowl and musical instruments on to Shengguang and gave him a Buddhist name of Huike. He was regarded as the second founder of the Zen sect. Emperor Qianlong wrote a phrase on a plaque in commemoration Alright everyone, now we are in the last hall, Pilu Hall, also called a Thousand Buddha Hall. It’s also the largest structure of the Shaolin Temple. This is just the highlight of the sightseeing zone. So until now, the visit in the Shaolin Temple is almost over. I think you may have some questions about the temple, or you want to take some photos. So, please do remember, you have half an hour. After half an hour we will gather in our bus, and make sure you’ll be there on time. And then we are going to the Pagoda Forest. Thank you for your attention！
The longmen grottoes Around 13 km south of Luoyang, there are two picturesque hills confronting each other with the Yi River flowing northward between them, connected by an arched stone bridge resembling a natural gate tower. This is the right place named Longmen, where the well—known Longmen Grottoes is located. The grottoes, which earns the fame of one of the Three Treasure Houses of Stone Sculpture in China, was created over 1500 years age. It was first known in the year 493 AD, when Emperor Xiaowen moved his capital to Luoyang from Datong, Shannxi Province, which marked the initiation of development and expanse of Buddhism in Central China. It prolongs for 1000 meters from north to south. According to the statistics conducted in recent years, there are 2300 caves and niches with over 100000 Buddhist figures. In addition, more than 2800 tablet inscriptions and some 40 Buddhist pagodas were preserved in or out of the caves.
Now, we’ve got to the grottoes. In front of you, here is the Qianxi Temple. It was built in the early Tang Dynasty around 640 AD. It has altogether 7 Buddhist statues inside, of which, AmitabhaBuddha is sitting in the central part with 2 of his favorite disciples, 2 Bodhisattvas, and 2 Heavenly Kings. Please come with me. Now we are in front of the Bin yang Caves. The Bin yang Caves consist of 3 large caves, the North, the Middle and the South caves. The Mid and the South caves were built under Emperor Xuanwu for practicing the merits and virtues for his diseased parents, late Emperor Xiaowen and late Empress DowagerWenzhao. While the North Bin yang cave was added for the late Emperor Xuanwu by a eunuch in the palace. In the Western Hill of Longmen, there are several “the most” caves to feast your eyes. Just now, we visited the Ten—thousand Buddha Cave with 15000 Buddhist images, which has the most Buddha images, and the Lotus Cave with 2cm—high Buddha images, which are the tiniest Buddha images. And now, we’ve come to another “most”, the Fengxian Temple. Fengxian Temple was built in the Tang Dynasty and it is the largest grotto in Longmen Temple with a width of 36 meters and a length of 41 meters. The most impressive figure is the statue of Vairocana Buddha sitting cross—legged on the eight—square lotus throne. It is 17.14 meters in total height with the head 4meters in height and the ears 1.9 meters in length. At the sides of Vairocana there are two statues of Vairocana Buddhas disciples, Kasyapa and Ananda, wearing prudent and devout expressions,next are 2 Bodhisattvas, Heavenly Kings, andGreat Men of Strength. Vairocana means illuminating all things in the sutra. The Buddha has a well—filled figure, a sacred and kindly expression and an elegant smile. The chief Buddha gives you an impression of dignified manner, magnificent looking, wise, farsighted and kind nature. The various appearances and delicate designs are the representations of Empire Tangs powerful material and spiritual strength as well as the high crystallization of peoples wisdoms. Looking around the overall arrangement, we would rather say that the Fengxian Temple is a scene of a grand imperial court than a spot of Buddhism. Generally speaking, the Fengxian Temple is the most magnificent and artistic among all the shrines of the Tang Dynasty as well as an example of success in integrating politics with Buddhism in ancient China. Ok everyone, now you can take photos here. Or you can ask questions that you don’t understand. After 15 minutes we will gather right here. See you then.

The Garden of Market in Qingming Festival Now we’re leading our way to the city of Kaifeng. Kaifengis one of the 8 major ancient capitals of China. The city of Kaifeng was already in existence before 700 B.C. During the period of Warring States more than 2,000 years ago, King Hui of the State of Wei moved his capital to Kaifeng, rebuilt the city and called it Daliang. Since then, Kaifeng was the capital of several dynasties. As an ancient capital, Kaifeng has a lot of historical relics and scenic spots. Some of them have been preserved, such as the iron Pagoda, Po Pagoda, Xiangguo Monastery, Dragon Pavilion. They are precious heritages of the Chinese culture. The famous painting Qingming Scroll is believed by some to portray daily life in Kaifeng. The painting, of which several versions are extant, is attributed to the Song Dynasty artist Zhang Zeduan.

Yin Ruins Yin Ruins is at Xiaotun Village of Anyang City. In ancient times, Xiaotun was called Yin and it was the capital of the Shang Dynasty. So the period was also called Yin Shang. After the Yin had been overthrown, the city declined and the remains of it was later called the Yin Ruins. Since the founding of new China, the Yin Ruins had been listed as the first group of cultural relics under national protection. In order to preserve its culture, the government built “Garden of the Yin Ruins” on the site. Today the garden is divided into several sections with ancient objects on display. Because of its great value in not only the historical relics of Chinese culture but also the human civilization of the whole world, Yin Xu topped the 100 Greatest Archeological Discoveries of China in the last century and it was listed in the World Cultural and Natural Heritage List of United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization （UNESCO）. Yin Xu is revealing its beauty to the world.
OK, everybody. Soon we’ll get to the Museum on Yin Ruins, the best museum for the study of the Yin Shang Culture. The Yin Ruins is famous for three things,i.e.the oracle inscriptions, the bronze wares and the ancient capital of the Shang Dynasty. As you know, China is one of the earliest countries to discover characters. As early as 4,000 years ago, people used bones or tortoise shells to record events of their social life. It is the earliest written form of language in the world. Today we call them the oracle bone inscriptions, which were first discovered in the Yin Ruins. Well,let’s come to the main hall where the oracle inscriptions are exhibited. The oracle bone inscriptions were first discovered during the years of Emperor GuangXu, in the Qing Dynasty. In 1899, in Xiao Tun Village of Anyang City, Henan Province, villagers found many tortoise shells and bones carved with letters and symbols, which unveiled to the world from Yin Xu, an ancient city with a long history and splendid culture.Then more than 16,000 pieces of bones and shells were found. But in the Shang Dynasty, they were used as divinations, when people were very superstitious. The inscriptions cover a wide range of fields, such as sacrifice, wars, state affairs, weather, hunting, etc. Today, they provide important information for the study of the Shang Dynasty. And the study of the oracle bone inscriptions has become a new subject and is getting more popular among people. Since
then this place has become of great interest to worldwide archeologists, because those inscriptions have proved to be the earliest written characters of human beings, the Oracles. Apart from the oracle bone inscriptions, bronze wares are another important part of the cultural relics discovered from the Ruins, which show that the technology of bronze casting reached its peak in the Shang Dynasty. The bronze wares include vessels, weapons,chariots and so on. Among all the unearthed wares, SimuwuQuadripod unearthed in the mausoleum area of the Yin Ruins, the largest and the most famous bronze sacrificial vessel in the world, is 875 kg in weight, 133 cm in height. Standing on the open plaza in front of the great hall is an enlarged copy of the original one for the convenience of touring and appreciation, with the original one cherished in the Museum of Chinese History. With its unusual air of majesty, together with its elegance in appearance and intricately carved in patterns, it is considered a treasure in the bronze culture of China as well as a glorious pearl shining on the peak of the world art. To cast such a significant vessel carrying such a great weight, advanced techniques and experiences in organization of laborers are necessary. As many scholars have pointed out, this huge bronze quadripod reflects the advanced slavery system of the Shang Dynasty and the unusual power of creation of the people. Finally we come to the side of the imperial palaces and tombs. Lying on the southwest of the Foundation Ruins C, Fuhao Tomb is one of the most important archeology discoveries in the temple. It is also the only discovered and well—reserved tomb of Shang royal members since the science excavation of Yin Ruins. Now, let’s know something about the first woman general in Chinese history.FuHao was Emperor Wu Ding’s wife,both intelligent and courageous. She had bravely led the Yin army fighting in many wars and made great contributions to the protecting of the country. After her death, Wu Ding built a large tomb near the palace to honor her merits. Buried together with her were many slaves and war prisoners as well assacrificial objects. The large numbers of sacrificial objects are valuable cultural relics in the treasure house of Chinese art.

the Native Place of Emperor Huangdi
The Native Place of Emperor Huangdi is located in the north of Xinzheng City. As a scenic spot of 4A— class assessed by the National Tour Bureau, it is a holly land for Chinese people all over the world to worship their ancestors, with memorial temples, andmausoleums of Emperor Huangdi situated here. Every year on March 3 of the lunar calendar, the day when the first emperor in China established the first nation in Chinese history, people of Chinese origin from home and abroad gather in Xinzheng, the birthplace of XuanyuanHuangdi, or the Yellow Emperor, to offer sacrifices and worship this legendary ancestor of the Chinese nation. To respect this great Emperor, his descendants have held large ceremonies of worship, which have been attracting descendants of Yanhuang from America, Japan, Korea, Canada and other nations and areas each year. They come back to worship, seeking their roots here in China.
Now, Here we are, The Native Place of EmperorHuangdi.This square was built in the end of 1998.It covers an area of 15,000 square meters,of which 7,900 square meters are covered with trees and flowers. It has become a very important place for the domestic and overseas Chinese descendants to hold large—scaled activities to worship their ancestors. In the center of the square here is a three—legged tripod caldron, whichwas cast in the shape of bears, reminding of the Emperor Huangdi’s rising from the Youxiong Tribe. The three—sided body of the tripod caldron has the embossment of three dragons with a fireball, implying the glorious sun and praying for favorable weather for crops and a harvest. Standing at the center of the altar, it is laurelled as “the No.1 tripod caldron of the world” for its unparalleled size and its special origin. It is 6.99 meters in height, 24 tons in weight, which has been registered in the Guinness World Records. The height number of 6.99 made up of figure 6 and 9 implies the majesty of grandness in traditional Chinese culture. Through the Xuanyuan Bridge above the JishuiRiver , here we can see the main hall. Please look at the pair of the guarding animalssitting on both sides of the gate.They are stone bears. Do you know why chose bears to guard the gate？ Because 5,000 years ago,there used to be many bears in Xinzheng. Bear was a kind of animal,very powerful and fierce then. In order to show people’s worship, the Youxiong Tribe regarded bear as the totem of their own tribe. Well, let’s enter the hall, there’re 8 mural paintings on the wall,which vividly depict the.
great achievements of the Yellow Emperor during his life.They’reThe Birth of the Yellow Emperor,Making Boat and Chariot,Setting up an alliance by EmperorHuangdi and Emperor Yandi, Crusading AgainstChiyou,Making Youxiong the Capital, Holding High the Dragon Flag, Developing Agriculture and Stock Raising, Creation of Chinese Civilization. It’s a long story behind these paintings： It is recorded that, in the Prehistoric Times, there lived many clans and tribes around the Yellow River and the Yangtze River, yet Huangdi was the most renowned tribal leader at that time. When the tribe lead by Yandi began to decline, Huangdis tribe was flourishing. During this period, Chiyou,another tribal leader, often lead his stronger tribe to invade other tribes, and invaded Yandis tribe. With the help of Huangdi, they defeated Chiyou.After 52 battlesHuangdi united China. All Chinese, despite nationalities, regardedHuangdi as our ancestor. Huangdi, the initiator of Chinese civilization, was hence worshipped by his descendants. After the capital was built,EmperorHuangdi raised his flag of dragon, symbolizing the unification of all tribes. The dragon was integrated with different parts of various animals： horse’s head, deer’s horn, tiger’s mouth, snake’s body, fish’s scales, and eagle’s claw. Since then, dragon has been the symbol of Chinese nation. On the both sides of the main hall, there’re eastern wing hall and western wing hall.In the east side hall,there is the statue of LuoZu, the first wife of EmperorHuangdi. She was the first person to raise silkworm and weave silk in ancient China and alsoan outstanding representative of ancient Chinese women. Every feudal dynasty set up temple for her and worshipped her as “the first ancestor in silkworm raising”. While in the west side hall, here is the statue Mother Mo, the fourth wife of Emperor Huangdi, who had invented the earliest “loom”for weaving. Later generations called her “mother Mo———the ancestor of weavers”.
Yamen in Neixiang County
The construction of the Yamen here started in 1303 in Yuan Dynasty, and the present buildings were built in Qing Dynasty. It was the most well preserved government office of country level in feudal China. Since our opening up to the outside world in 1984, it has attracted a number of our government officials and visitors form both at home and abroad because of its special history, science, attractive value and its own charm. We have the famous saying ： Beijing is the dragonhead while the dragon’s tail is in Neixiang. It is also one of the important cultural relics of state level.
The front part building of the Yamen was called a screen wall, which was built with blue brick relief sculpture. In the middle of the screen, there is a strange beast, which is called “Tan”. It was said to be a greedy beast that could swallow gold and silver treasures in the legend. Here in the picture we can see that around it there are treasures everywhere. But he is not satisfied. His mouth opens widely intending to swallow the sun in the sky, but as a result, he falls off the steep cliff, having his body smashed into pieces. The picture on the screen was first created by Zhu Yuanzhang, the founder of the Ming Dynasty. The purpose of the drawing is to warn the government officials not to take bribes and break the law. Here is the main entrance, halfway there is another gate right in the middle, called Yimen, the second main official entrance. It used to be open only on the day when new governor took his place or when higher official came to visit. On both sides of the second gate, there’re two small doors, the one on the east was called Life door, while the one on the west was called Death door, or Ghost door, which was used only by the criminals when they were sentenced to death and were going to be killed. Passing through Yimen, you can see a grand building here in front of you . That is the great hall. The great hall was the place where the governor of the county announced the government orders, and also some important ceremonies were held here and some important and serious criminal cases were tried here. In the middle of it, a trial desk was placed, and on the desk, the four treasures of the study and the red and green bamboo pieces used for trial could be found. On the front side of the screen, there’s a picture of seawater, tide and the sun, meaning that an official should be as clear as the sun and the moon and as clean as seawater. In other words, an official should be honest and upright. When the prosecutor and the defendant were taken to the hall for trial, they must kneel down on the stones. The square stone on the east was for the prosecutor, and the rectangle stone on the west was for the accused. Since most cases.
involved more defendants, the stone for them was longer then. The house behind the great hall was called doorman house. The man who guarded the house was called Doorman, who was the county governor’s relative or people who were close to him. Now we have come to the second hall. It was the place where the County Magistrate dealt with small cases. Please look at these famous couplets, which means that before law everyone is equal. So the judges should pass the fairest judgment on people. This is called Fuzi Yard, an ancient form of address to a Confucian scholar or to a master by his disciples. Fuzi was usually the official’s assistant who was usually their close friend of knowledgeable and artistic talent. Everyone, including the county governor respectfully addressed him as Lao Fuzi, so the place where Fuzi worked was called Fuzi Yard. Finally, let’s go to the third hall. It was the place where county governor did his daily work. If the cases he dealt with were of great importance, he would do it here. There was also a garden behind. It was here that county governor enjoyed his free life and got away from his government affairs. As we can see now, there’re many succinct couplets with rich intension here. But this one before the third hall was the most famous. It was written by GaoYigong , a county governor in Neixiang county. It means that being the local officials, we rearded the common people as our parents. We worked for them voluntarily and willingly.Nowadays , many of our Party leaders like Chairman Jiang Zemin read it with deep feelings, and Premier Zhu Rongji sings high praise of it. The words can be no doubt regarded as famous saying and epigram, and the only one of its kind. So now the Ymen in Neixiang, together with the Museum Palace in Beijing, and the other two in Hebei and Shanxi, has formed a special international tore route of the four great ancient Chinese Yamens. Neixiang is now going out of Henan and into the world. We warmly welcome all the reiends from all over the world to visit Neixiang, and enjoy the elegant demeanor of the ancient Yamen.
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.

各位游客大家好，欢迎大家来到古镇三河。我是古镇三河的景点讲解员，很高兴见到大家。大家看，这就是我们古镇三河的导游图，三河因丰乐河、杭埠河、小南河贯穿其间而得名。今天，我们将沿着小南河欣赏三河美丽的风景。大家，请跟我来。
眼前这座桥叫做仙归桥，素有仙人归来之意，因为我们三河是历史文化重镇，在海外和全国各地工作的人很多，这座桥表达了家乡人对游子的思念之情。大家请看我左手边，那边有个亭子叫做天然亭又称半亭，因为它只有半个亭子的大小，故称半亭。挺胸化作千枝笔，弄影又成一地书这个亭子上面雕刻着三河的一首名谣十大舍不得。
一舍不得，三河街花花世界
二舍不得，大河水淘米洗菜
三舍不得，中和祥焦切玉带
四舍不得，凌宝泰雨前茶，水到茶开
五舍不得，吴恒隆香米干子，香到门外
六不舍得，石头大桥下，大鲫鱼摇摆鼓塞
七舍不得，小月更上拉拉拽拽
八舍不得，天然楼的油炸烧卖
九舍不得，吴宏兴家的大瓜子一嗑两开
十舍不得，新华春炒菜一喊就来
大家请跟我来，这里就是古西街的入口处了，古西街全长有500多米，有一百多年的历史了，曾经颇有名气的商家就有十多家，如天然楼、吴恒隆、凌宝泰、大德昌等等商家。大家看我们脚下是青石铺
就的道路，经过百年时间的打磨已变得十分光滑，呈现出中间高两边低的状态，像鱼的脊背。两边是青砖小瓦的民居和整齐划一的油漆门板。不知道大家有没有注意，这每户每家门口上方挂有一个灯笼，这灯笼的正方写的是这家男主人的姓氏，如卢，就代表这家人性卢。而灯笼的后面则是这家人的祠堂名或群名。大家感兴趣的可以找下自己的姓氏。大家看那些飞檐高翘的墙叫做风火墙，也叫马头墙。因其形似马头，也就是相当于我们今天的防火墙。这种墙体具有浓厚的皖中徽派建筑特色。古代的建筑一般都为木建筑，怕天火，而风火墙呢，就可以起到隔绝火势蔓延的作用。这种设计既美观又实用，体现了我们古代三河人民的智慧。其实，我们古镇三河有着悠悠2500多年的历史，关于三河最早的文字记载始见于左传，其中记载的公元前537年，吴楚之间的鹊岸之战即发生于此。三河地理位置独特，水运发达，古代就靠水运发家。曾有小南京、小上海的美誉。一度成为皖中商品走廊和稻米集散地。 那么现在我们前往第一个景点，刘同兴隆庄。刘代表姓刘的人开的庄子，中间的同兴隆是这个庄子的'商号，庄主叫刘锦堂，他家有五个兄弟，他与二哥刘锦臣就住在刘同兴隆庄。整座刘同兴隆庄分为五进八厢三十二间房屋。临街是一幢二层木楼，二进为走马转心楼，后三进都是平房，建筑面积约有700平方米。
那现在咱们进去详细了解下。刘同兴隆庄门边一副对联：柜上长添新货色，门头不改老招牌
现在我们位于刘同兴隆庄第一进，我右手边是刘记米铺，左手边是刘记布庄，刘同兴隆庄主要经营各种布匹和大米。大米的日运销量可达五百多吨，年收入数万银元。此外，还开有盐铺，瓷器店，当铺等，是古镇最有名气的商家之一。现在，我们进入第二进，第二进为走马转心楼，又称小姐楼，就是刘家女眷所居住的地方了。大家抬头看，这屋顶呢，是当时从国外进口的琉璃瓦做成的，主要是起采光的作用。这上方有一轮美人靠，是当时设计者根据夫人，小姐的身形所设计的。小姐和夫人就靠着美人靠欣赏着当时刘同兴隆庄生意往来繁荣热闹的景象。而这里的两个水缸主要起灭火作用。现在我们进入第三进，大家看我右手边，这就是刘记盐铺，在当时并不是所有人都可以卖盐的，如果是普通老百姓卖盐那可是犯法的。由于刘同兴隆庄的主人刘锦堂是三河商会会长，他有这个权利经营盐铺。我左手边是瓷器店，这里面主要汇集了三大名瓷，河南的钧瓷，江西景德镇的青花瓷，以及福建德化的白瓷。当然了这里面都是仿品。我们现在前往第四进，大家看我右边这位女子就是我们刘同兴隆庄的女主人，刘夫人了。她手上拿着是一条金锁，当时买家将价格砍的很低，她想买又不舍得卖左右为难的表情。我左手边是当铺，里面是朝风，也就是当铺掌柜的。上裕国富/富时取物/缓时赎，下济民急/急处当衣/困时典。这体现了人文经商理念。每两进房屋之间都留下天井，自成独特排水体系。同时，也寄寓着“肥水不流外人田”的经商理念。每进一进这门槛也越来越高了，寓意着步步高升的意思。现在我们来到最后一进，第五进，会所中堂。我右手边这位穿红衣的男子就是刘同兴隆庄的主人，
刘锦堂了。他当时正在和客人谈生意，而左边这位美女是他们家大丫鬟，小翠。她正准备茶果以招待客人。我们刘同兴隆庄都是以蜡像的形式向大家展示，那都是根据刘家后人的回忆制作成的，模拟出生意往来繁荣热闹的景象。这中间是半张桌子，过去只有拿出半张桌子摆在客厅以示客人男主人不在家，女主人是不待客的，男主人回来时，就会拿出另外半张桌子，合拼成一张桌子。数间草屋闲临水，一枕秋声夜听泉。这里的泉不是指泉水，而是屋后的护城河。由于这里正在修建，不便参观，我们沿路返回。
现在我们所通过的巷子叫做合众巷，又叫三人巷，意思是说一次性可通过三个正常体裁的人并排而行。这后面还有个一人巷，顾名思义，一次性只能通过一个人。到了一人巷，会向大家提醒的。前面就是三河人民的母亲河，小南河。说到这里我就不得不提一下，三河历史上一次特大洪水，在1991年，三河的一条河流丰乐河决堤，大水仅用23分钟的时间就将整个三河淹没了。在那边有个基督教堂，大水将教堂都淹没了，只剩下教堂上方一个红十字架，来三河采访的记者看到这样的画面就写了个特写，标题是上帝也就不了你们了，可想当时三河的惨状了。然而呢，在这次洪水中解放军官解救了被困在三河的6000余人，并无一人死亡，这在三河历史上算的上是个奇迹了。我们继续往前走，大家看前方道路中央有棵树，叫做双子树，这棵树和我们刚提到三河1991年特大洪水有关，让我们加快步伐，去探个究竟吧。这棵树叫做双子树，在91年发洪水的时候，有两个顽皮的孩子因没有及时撤离，爬上了这棵树而得救，三河人民为了感谢
这棵树，就为它取名双子树。大家继续往前走，大水之后，三河也得到了一定的救济，大家看左边的房子，是由香港大公报的读者捐赠的，叫做竹苑新村，这些房子并不是真正的徽派建筑，它融合了许多现代化因素，如钢筋混凝土，铝合金窗子等。
大家看前面那座漂亮的桥叫座对月桥，但是很遗憾我们不通过这座桥，(这是仿照扬州瘦西湖的五亭桥)，现在我们就顺着小南河欣赏这里的美景。历史上三河有着小南京、小上海的美誉，它为稻米集散地和皖中商品走廊。40年代时，全国战乱，为躲避战乱，各地做生意的人纷纷来此安家，人口急剧增长7、8万人，但是1949年，全国解放后，人口急剧减少，在这段时期里，三河流传了一首民谣，十大舍不得。这首名谣里反映了许多我们三河的特色。如三舍不得，中和祥的焦切玉带，焦切玉带在晚清时期曾是贡品。四舍不得，凌宝泰雨前茶，水倒茶开，当地人有一个风俗习惯，吃早茶。三河人不喜欢在家里吃早饭，而是去早餐店，来杯大碗茶，吃着三河米饺，三河米饺是三河的正宗特色早点。出了三河就吃不出那个味了。五舍不得吴恒隆的虾米干子香到门外，吴恒隆的虾米干子包装以及味道都是各种各样的，成为许多游客来到三河的首选。六舍不得石头大桥下大鲫鱼摇摆鼓塞，说的是三河的一道土菜，清蒸大鲫鱼，当地人喜欢在鱼的肚子里放点瘦肉，这样不仅有吃出鱼的鲜美，也有肉的邮香了。十舍不得，新华春的炒菜一喊就来，也就是三河的小炒了。三河地处合肥，黄山，九华山一线上，很多游客选择在三河中转，所以三河打出

The first attraction of our tour in Beijing is the Forbidden City.The first thing people would think of when talking about the Forbidden City is it the place where Chinese emperors used to live and hold their courts. .But the value of the Forbidden City is not limited to this.It is a microcosm of Chinese history, Chinese culture and Chinese architecture.The Forbidden City is located in center oBeijing. It was imperial palace of both Ming and Qing dynasties.With a history of over 600 years, it is the largest and most complete palace complex that still exists in the world. 24 emperors had rule the empir from here for more than 500 years. Forbidden City is also called Purple Forbidden City .In the feudal society ,emperors had supreme power , so this residence was certainly a forbidden place . Purple was the symbolic color of the North Star which was believed to be the center of the cosmos .So it got the name of Purple Forbidden City.
The building arrangement within the Forbidden City is symmetrical.And it is divided into two parts :the outer court and the inner court .The former is the place where emperors handled courts and held different ceremonies.It consists of Taihe ,Zhonghe and Baohe Halls.Taihe hall is the largest hall within the Forbidden City.It was the location where Ming Dynasty and Qing Dynasty Emperors hosted theirenthronement and wedding ceremonies .The inner court consists of Qianqing, Jiaotai and Kunming Halls where the emperor lived and handled day-to-day work.The lmperial Garden lies on north of the Kunming Hall. It looks like a natural picture.This is the place where the emperor and his family play.
Since the founding of new China, the Forbidden City has been well maintained.It was made part of the world cultural heritage list in 1987.Tody as the largest museum of cultural relics in China, it collected and displayed one million precious relics .
Now I want to ask you a question.How many houses are there in the Forbidden City? It was said that there were 10000 rooms in the complex of the Heaven Palace .As the son of the heaven , emperor had to build only 9999.5 rooms .Actually ,there are only 8707 rooms in the Forbidden City.
As The saying goes, seeing is believing.With curiosity, let's walk into the Forbidden City.Let's appreciate Chinese culture and feel the history of the rise and fall of the Chinese emperors.
Hello, everyone! Welcome to the former resident of Mao ZeDong”. Now, we are facing a simple and unsophisticated farmhouse .we call it Shangchangwu. And our great chairman Mao Zedong was born in this place on December 26th, 1893. Although it is a quite common farmhouse with U-shape construction in South China, it possesses beautiful views with limpid water and green mountains. Once, here lived two families, Mao’s family and their next door neighbor. And the thirteen and a half rooms on the left hand belong to Mao’s family.
Look up! There hangs a red tablet inscribed with golden characters “The former resident of Mao Zedong”. The inscription was written by Chairman Deng Xiaoping on April 2nd, 1983. Now, let’s enter into the central room. It’s a place for Mao’s family and their neighbors enjoying together to entertain guests. The old fashioned table and chairs here are settled as they were many years ago. Please look at this! It is called Shenkan, which is a family area of worship of God and ancestors. When chairman Mao as a child, he often helped his parents doing some housework in this place. And the big buckets here are the original items in those years.
Here we come to the kitchen. Please look at that cooking range. It is made from mud bricks according to the memory of the old people when recovering the exhibition. There is a big Brazier put in the middle of the room. The southern peasant families usually have a room to keep warm by firing wood in winter. And there is an iron hook hung above it. It is called “Lutanggou” and it was used to boll water and rice. It is really a lively atmosphere when the whole family gets together and sits around the brazier to warm themselves and chat together. In the spring of 1921. It’s around this brazier that Mao Zedong persuaded his relatives to join the revolution. After hearing his brother Mao Zenmin’s suffering in that troubled times, Mao Zedong said that: “yes, it is not happen on only us, but all of us in the whole country! We can’t live without fighting against the evil. So we should do some benefit things for our society in spite of the safety of ourselves.” Afterwards, by the guiding of Mao Zedong, all his families devoted themselves to the revolutionary career. And there are 6 families sacrificed in the war.
Now we come into the bedroom of Mao’s parents and Mao was born just in this room on December 26th, 1893. There are portraits of Mao’s parents on the wall. His father—Mao Shunsheng was born in October, 1870 and was a very simple and diligent farmer. But unfortunately he died from acute febrile in his fifty in 1920.we should say that it is the father’s industry and good housekeeping management that supported Mao Zedong out learning in his early years. This lady was Mao’s mother—Wenshi. She was born in1867 and was not only diligent but also intelligent. This farm woman was so warm-hearted that she was always helping other neighbors. The good moral character of the parents gave a deep impression upon the great man. When Mao Zedong watched the portrait of his mother in 1959, he signed: “I’m really looks like my mother.” And yes, this old wooden bed in front of us is also an original one. .
This is Mao’s bedroom. The portrait on the wall was the group photo of Mao’s mother, Mao’s two brothers and himself in spring 1919 in Changsha. That year, Mao worked in Changsha and his little brother also studied in the city. Because his elder brother sent their badly sick mother to see a doctor in the provincial capital, the families had the chance to leave the memory. Also in this year’s October, his mother died. And the cherish photo was carefully collected by Mao’s mother’s family. The bedroom is also the study of Mao Zedong. Look, this is the oil lamp accompanied by Mao reading in his childhood. In summer nights, there were many mosquitoes. So he put up a mosquito net and only left his head outside to read. And in winter, he often stayed up to read books with this oil lamp. Even when he dropped out of school in his 13 to 15, he still read as many books as he could get Your attention, please! Otherwise you’ll miss an attic in this room. And it is in this room that the ShaoShan Branch of the Chinese Communist Party was set up. Ok, follow me please. Here is the site where MaoZedong placed his farm tools. He began his work at the age of six. From the age 13 to 15, because of lack of physical labor, he dropped out of school to work on the farm. Therefore, he was a professional farmer for two years. The water wheels and graphite here are stuff used by MaoZedong. Ok, so much for today. Hopefully, you shall have pleasant and unforgettable memories of the resident.

as we will get there in a few minutes, first allow me to give you a brief intoduction of tengchong. tengchong is located in the southwest of china and occupies an area of 5800 square kilometers. there are 23 nationalities here, such as 汉、傣、回、白 nationalities and so on. when we mentioned tengchong, three things will come into mind, which are: the volcanoes and hot springs having 10,000 years, the border city having 1,000 years and the fair of jade having 100 years.
later we will get to the volcanoes and the hot spring, so now i can tell you something about the latter two ones. they all can reflect the long history tengchong has. tengchong is a city on boarder. and because of its location, it has been an important place for military reasons. and that’s a part of its history. it’s also regarded as the county of manners, and it is the hometown of so many famous people. and another part of its history is that tengchong is one trade center of jade between china and burma. so don’t forget to get a round to the jade fair. i think you will feel interested.
ok, everyone, here is the library of the volcanoes. now let’s have a look at .the volcanoes in tengchong are famous in china, and it’s one of the four groups of volcanoes in china. the strong extravasations are the cause of the landform of tengchong. there is a lieder in tengchong saying that:” such a place tengchong, nine in ten mountains have no peaks.” it’s very vivid, from that you can see so many volcanoes are in tengchong. there are 97 volcanoes in tengchong now with high value of tourism and scientific research.
