Tian’anmen(the Gate of Heavenly Peace), is located in the center of Beijing.It was first built in 1417 and named Chengtianmen(the Gate of Heavenly Succeion).At the end of the Ming Dynasty, it was seriously damaged by war.When it was rebuilt under the Qing in 1651, it was renamed Tian’anmen, and served as the main entrance to the Imperial City, the administrative and residential quarters for court officials and retainers.The southern sections of the Imperial City wall still stand on both sides of the Gate.The tower at the top of the gate is nine-room wide and five –room deep.According to the Book of Changes, the two numbers nine and five, when combined, symbolize the supreme status of a sovereign.During the Ming and Qing dynasties, Tian’anmen was the place where state ceremonies took place.The most important one of them was the iuing of imperial edicts, which followed these steps:

1)The Minister of Rites would receive the edict in Taihedian(Hall of Supreme Harmony), where the Emperor was holding his court.The minister would then carry the decree on a yunpan(tray of cloud), and withdraw from the hall via Taihemen(Gate of supreme Harmony)

2)The Minister would put the tray in a miniature longting(dragon pavilion).Beneath a yellow umbrella and carry it via Wumen(Meridian Gate), to Tian’anmen Gate tower.3)A courtier would be invested to proclaim the edict.The civil and military officials lining both sides of the gateway beneath the tower would prostrate themselves in the direction of the emperor in waiting for the decree to the proclaimed.4)The courtier would then put the edict in a phoeni_-shaped wooden bo_ and lower it from the tower by means of a silk cord.The document would finally be carried in a similar tray of cloud under a yellow umbrella to the Ministry of Rites.5)The edict, copied on yellow paper, would be made known to the whole country.Such a proce was historically recorded as Imperial Edict Iued by Golden Phoeni_.During the Ming and Qing dynasties Tian’anmen was the most important paage.It was this gate that the Emperor and his retinue would go through on their way to the altars for ritual and religious activities.On the Westside of Tian’anmen stands ZhongshanPark(Dr.Sun Yat-sen’s Park), and on the east side, the Working People’s Cultural Palave.The Park was formerly called Shejitan(Altar of Land and Grain), built in 1420 for offering sacrificial items to the God of Land.It was opened to the public as a park in 1914 and its name was changed in 1928 to the present one in memory of the great pioneer of the Chinese Democratic Revolution.Word文档仅供参考

The Working People’s Cultural Palace used to be Taimiao(the Supreme Ancestral Temple), where tablets of the deceased dynastic rulers were kept.The stream in front of Tian’anmen is called Waijinshuihe(Outer Golden River),with seven marble bridges spanning over it.Of these seven bridges,historical records say the middle one was for the e_clusive use of the emperor and was accordingly called Yuluqiao(Imperial Bridge).The bridges flanking it on either side were meant for the members of the royal family and were therefore called Wanggongqiao(Royal’s Bridges).Farther away on each side of the two were bridges for officials ranking above the third order and were named Pinjiqiao(ministerial Bridges).The remaining two bridges were for the use by the retinue below the third order and wre called Gongshengqiao(common Bridges).They anr the one in front of the Supreme Ancestral Temple to the east and the one in front of the Altar of land and Grain to the west.The two stone lions by the Gate of Tian’anmen, one on each side were meant as sentries.They gaze toward the middle a_is, guarding the emperor’s walkway.In front of the gate stands a pair of marble columns called Huabiao.They are elaborately cut in bas-relief following the pattern of a legendary dragon.Behind the gate stands another pair of similar columns.The story of Huabiao may be traced to a couple of sources.One of the versions accredits its invention to one of the Chinese sage kings named Yao, who was said to have set up a wooden pillar in order to allow the ordinary people to e_pose evil-doers, hence it was originally called a slander pillar.Later it ws reduced to a signpost, and now it serves as an ornament.The beast sitting on the top of the column is called hou, a legendary animal, which is said to have been a watcher of an emperor’s behaviour.He was doing such duties as warning the emperor against staying too long outside the palace or indulging in pleasure and urging him to go to the people for their complaints or return in due time.Therefore, the two pairs of beasts were given the names Wangjunhui(E_pecting the emperor’s coming back)and wangjunchu(E_pecting the emperor’s going out)respectinvely.In the old days, Tian’anmen, as a part of the Imperial City, was meant for important occasions.The two rows of chaofang(antechamber), on the sides behind the main gate, wre reserved for civil and military members of the government waiting for imperial audience and in front of the gate, were offices of imperial administration.On October 1, 1949, chairman Mao Zedong proclaimed on Tian’anmen Rostrum the founding of the People’s Republic of China.Since then Tian’anmen has been the symbol of New Chinea.Chairman Mao’s portrait is hung above the central entrance, flanked by two slogans: Long Live the Great Unity of the Peoples of the World.Today , the splendour of Tian’anmen attracts million of visitors from all over the world.The Rostrum on its top was opened in 1988 to the public for the first time in its history.It offers a panoramic view of the Square and the city proper.Tian’anmen Square

he Ming Tombs are 40 kilometers north of Beijing City on the southern slopes of Tianshou Mountain.They are the burial grounds of 13 Ming Dynasty emperors.In July 2003 the site was designated a world cultural heritage site by UNESCO.Empre Xu died in the 5th year of Yongle(1407).Zhu Di sent

Zhao Hong, secretary of the Ministry of Rites and a geomancer----Liao Junqing along with many others to Beijing in search of an auspicious place for the tombs.It is said that this group of people first selected the area of Tu Jia Ying, which means slaughter-house, and as such, it couldnt be used as the burial ground.Ne_t they selected the foot of Yangshan Mountain, Changping.However, since the surname of the emperor(Zhu)is a homophone for pig and because a village named wolf mouth ravine was located there, they decided against using that area.Later, they found Yan-jiatai west of Beijing.Again, since Yanjia was the homonym of the death of the emperor, it was also deemed unsuitable.It was not until the 7th year of Yongle(1409), that they finally chose the present Heavenly Longevity Mountain as their cemetery grounds.The whole area covers 40 square kilometers.It has mountains to its east, west and north, and Dragon Mountain and Tiger Mountain are on either side of its southern entrance.The 13 tombs go from north to south.They are arranged in the manner of the Imperial Palace, with the administration area in the front and living quarters in the rear.In front of the tombs are divine paes, stone archways and steel towers.The Precious City and Ming Tower stand over the Underground Palace.There were 16 emperors during the Ming Dynasty.Buried in the Ming tombs, are 13 Ming emperors and 23 emprees, as well as many concubines, princes, princees and maids.The other 3 emperors, Emperor Zhu Yuanzhang, Zhu Yunwen and Zhu Qiyu are buried in other locations.The founder of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Yuanzhang, established his capital in present day Nanjing where he was buried after his death.His tomb is called Xiaoling(Tomb of Filial Piety).Word文档仅供参考

The body of the second emperor of the Ming, Zhu Yunwen, is miing.Some said that he died in a fire, while others said that he went to a temple and became a monk.There is no final conclusion yet.The seventh Ming Emperor Zhu Qiyu, was buried as a prince by his elder brother Zhu Qizhen at Jinshankou, a western suburb of Beijing, because in the Tumubao Upheaval, Emperor Zhu Qizhen became a captive and the younger brother of Zhu Qizhen.Zhu Qiyu was chosen as the new emperor, but later Zhu Qizhen was back and proclaimed his re-enthronement in the Seizing Gate Upheaval.The Memorial Arch was built in the 19th year of Jiajing(1540)as a symbol of the Ming Tombs.It is 14 meters high and 28.86 meters wide, and has 5 arches supported by 6 pillars with beautiful bas-relief carvings of lions, dragons and lotus flowers.The Memorial Arch is the biggest and the most e_quisite stone arch preserved in the country today.The major designs of dragon and cloud decorations reflect the character of imperial architecture.In addition, it also demonstrates the skillful artistry of the Ming craftsmen.The Big Palace Gate is the front gate of the Ming Tombs, and is more commonly known as Big Red Gate.Facing south, there are three arch entrances to the gate, the main inlet to the Ming Tombs.Flanking the gate are two stone tablets, inscribed with orders for the emperor, officials and other people to dismount, before entering into the tomb area.If they did not obey, they would be punished for their disrespect.The rules governing the Ming Tombs in the Ming Dynasty, stipulate that one who sneaks into the tomb area to pick firewood and break twigs would be flogged.Those who came to fetch dirt and stone would be beheaded.Those who entered arbitrarily into the tomb area would be flogged a hundred times.The Tablet House was built in the 10th year of Xuande(1435), and stands about 10 meters high with two tiers of eaves.A huge tablet stands in the middle of the Tablet House.The front side bears an inscription by Emperor Renzong for Chengzu.The reverse side is a poem by Qing Emperor Qianlong recording in detail the conditions of the broken Changling, Yongling, Dingling and Xiling.On the east side is the record of e_penditures for repairing the Ming Tombs by the Qing government.On the west side is an epitaph by Qing Emperor Jiaqing.It was written in the 9th year of Jiaqing(1804)describing the cause of the fall of the Ming Dynasty.On the north side of the Tablet House, stands a group of stone carvings(36 in all).Behind the house, there are two stone pillars.Beyond the pillars are stone animals and other statues.Lions, Xie Zhi, camels, elephants, and Qi Lin horses.All of the animals are in two pairs.Two stand, while the other two kneel.It is followed by the statues of military officers, civil officials and officials of merit, four in each group.These stone animals and statues were made in the 10th year of Xuande(1435).They reflect the imperial power when he was alive and the imperial dignity after he was deceased.The animals and statues were created using whole blocks of stone weighing a couple of tons and each was delicately and masterfully carved.Here stands Ling Xing Gate, also known as the unique Dragon and Phoeni_ Gate, with the meaning of the Gate of Heaven.The gate is pierced with si_ door leaves, attached to three archways.The top of the central section of the three archways is decorated with flames and precious pearl, so it is also known as the Flame Archway.To the north of the Dragon and Phoeni_ Gate there lays a seven-arch marble bridge, leading to the gate of Changling.To the east of the seven-arch bridge stands an old five-arch bridge, which was the original site of the seven-arch bridge.Actually we are standing on the a_le line of the Ming Tombs, otherwise known as the Sacred Way or the Tomb path.We paed the Memorial Arch, the Big Palace Gate, the Tablet House, Sacred Way, stone animals and statues, and Ling Xing Gate.This seven-kilometer long sacred pathway leads from south to north, all the way to the Gate of Changling.Now, we are moving to Chang Ling.Changling is the first tomb built in the Ming Tombs area, covering 10 hectares and containing Emperor Zhu Di and his empre Xu.Zhu Di(Chengzu)of the Ming Dynasty was the fourth son of the first Emperor Zhu Yuanzhang, born in 1360.Zhu Di was conferred the title of the prince of Yan in the 3rd year of Hongwu(1370).He was appointed at Beiping.After the death of Zhu Yuanzhang(the first Ming Emperor), Zhu Di used the prete_t of

achievements in calming down the north.After he took over his nephews power and became the emperor, he still went out to battle throughout the country and consolidated the rule of the Ming Dynasty.He made the important decision to move the capital to Beijing.During the rule of Zhu Di, magnificent developments were made in the economy, culture and in diplomacy.In terms of culture, Zhu Di succeively sent Grand Academician Xie Jin, Yan Guang_iao and others to compile the Yongle encyclopedia.The book has become the largest book ever complied in Chinese history.For e_panding e_ternal e_changes and

articles of internal lectures and a book advising to be good, so as to cultivate peoples minds.She was the very first one to be buried in Changling and in the Ming Tomb area.The Hall of Eminent Favor in Changling is the best preserved among the thirteen tombs.It is a valuable relic of ancient Chinas wooden structures.It is nine rooms wide and five rooms long, a hall size rarely seen in China.The

middle four in the hall are the thickest, the diameter of each one can reach over one meter.It is known as the best Nanmu(phoebe)hall in the country.Now we are going to Dinging.Dingling is located at the east foot of Dayu Mountain.Buried here are the 13th Ming Emperor Wanli(Zhu Yijun)and his two emprees Xiaoduan and Xiaojing.Zhu Yijun was the longest on the throne of the Ming Emperors.(He was emperor for 48 years).He was the greediest and laziest emperor in the Ming Dynasty.Zhu Yijun ascended the throne at the age of 9.After he came to power, he was supported by the chief minister Zhang Juzheng.At this time, various aspects of society gained development.Later ,Zhang Juzheng died of illne.Not long after Wanli managed state affairs on his own, he used the chance to select the location for his tomb site when he went to pay homage to the ancestors tombs.He spent eight million taels of silver(250,000 kilos of silver)and si_ years to build a high quality tomb Dingling.After the Dingling was completed, Zhu Yijun personally went to inspect it, and felt very satisfied with the result.He went so far as to hold a grand banquet in the Underground Palace, which was unheard of in history.Zhu Yijun was a typical muddle-headed emperor.Reflecting on his reign, he did not pay attention to state affairs for 28 out of his 48 year rule.The state organ was effectively semi-paralyzed during his reign.Later generations commented that the fall of the Ming dynasty was caused by this emperor.Zhu Yijun had two emprees.Empre Xiaojing was originally a maid of Wanlis mother Cisheng.Later she gave birth to a son of the emperor.That son was the one-month emperor Guangzong(Zhu Changluo).She died of illne 9 years earlier than Shenzong died.She was buried as a concubine at Pinggangdi, around the east pit, at the Heavenly Longevity Mount.After Xiaojing was conferred the title of grandmother of the emperor, her body was moved to the Underground Palace of Dingling, and buried together with Emperor Wanli and Empre Xiaoduan on the same day.Xiaoduan was conferred the title of empre, but she could not give birth to either a son or a daughter to the emperor.Xiaoduan died of illne.A hundred days later, Emperor Wanli(Zhu Yijun)died too.Empre Xiaoduan, Emperor Wanli, and Empre Xiaojing were buried together in the Underground Palace.The tablet in front of Dingling has no words on it.It is called the wordle tablet.There is a pair of coiling dragons along the top and a pattern of sea waves carved on the bottom.Its base is composed of a tortoise(Bi_i).It is said that the dragon has nine sons.In twelve of the Ming Tombs, e_cluding Changling, all the tablets are wordle.Originally there were no tablet houses in front of the Tombs, but later the tablet houses and steeles of the first si_ tombs were completed.But the emperor Jiajing at the time indulged in drinking, lust and searching for longevity pills, so he had no time to pay attention on the inscriptions.Consequently the si_ tablets are wordle.And in keeping with this tradition, that’s why the tablets later on are also blank.Now we are arriving at The Gate of Eminent Favor and the Hall of Eminent Favor of Dingling, Word文档仅供参考

The Hall of Eminent Favor is also called Hall of Enjoyment.It was the place where the emperor and his entourage held grand sacrificial rites.They were mostly destroyed when the Qing soldiers came.And they were destroyed again later, so now only the ruins remain.Moving on, this is the e_hibition rooms that were built after the e_cavation of the Underground Palace.The e_hibition e_plains in detail the history of the tomb master and introduces the tomb e_cavation proce.The e_hibition rooms are divided into two parts, the south and the north.In the south room, on display are the sacrificial objects of Emperor Wanli unearthed from the Underground Palace.In the north room, on display are the sacrificial items of the two emprees.All of then are fancy and invaluable.Now we arrive at The Soul Tower, this is the symbol of the tomb.It is a stone structure with colorful painted decorations.The Soul Tower and the Precious citadel of Dingling have never been damaged seriously.The Soul Tower is the best preserved architecture above the ground of Dingling.On top of the yellow, glazed tiled roof of the Soul Tower sits a big stone tablet.Two Chinese characters----Dingling, are carved on the tablet.Inside the Soul Tower, on top of another stone tablet, there are two big characters----the Great Ming written in seal characters.On the body of the tablet, seven Chinese characters---Tomb of Emperor Shenzong Xian are carved.The Soul Tower is connected with the Precious Citadel.The Precious Citadel is a large round wall built with bricks.The Precious Citadel wall is 7.5 m high, and lower part is thick while the upper part is thin.The round walls perimeter is over 800 meters, and inside the wall is a large artificial mound, the emperors tomb mound, known as Precious Top.Dingling is the only Ming Tomb to be e_cavated.Formal e_cavation work started in May 1956 and ended in 1958.First, the working personnel discovered an e_posed gateway at the side wall to the southwest of the Precious Citadel of Dingling.So they dug the first tunnel facing the position of the gateway.At the bottom of the tunnel, they discovered a tunnel made of bricks.Three months later, along the direction of the tunnel, to the west of the Soul Tower, they dug the second tunnel.During the digging, they encountered with a stone tablet which inscribed the words from here 48.8m forward and 10.7m downward lies the precious wall.Therefore it gave the correct direction of opening up the Underground Palace.According to the direction of the stone tablet, after digging the third tunnel, they found a stone tunnel.At last they got to the precious wall.Thus they opened the precious wall with a square stone room.To the west end of the room, lay two marble doors.The working personnel used a wire and wood plank to remove the self-acting stone bar, which was against the back of the door.With this method, they opened the entrance of the Underground Palace.The palace has no beam which was built according to the principles of geomancy Altogether there are five chambers.The chambers are separated by seven marble doors.The Underground Palace is 27 meters deep, covering an area of 1,195 square meters.There is a same structure stone door in between the front, middle and rear chambers.The door is made of marble.The biggest marble door is 3.3 meters high, 1.7 meters wide, 4 tons in weight.It looks heavy, but it is reasonably designed.The pivot of the stone door is inclined to the door a_le, so the door is easy Word文档仅供参考

to open and close.On top of the door is a lintel(made of bronze)tube weighing about 10 tons to prevent the door from falling.Carved on the front of the marble door are 9 rows of 81 knobs and strange animals with rings in their mouths.Located on the reverse side, opposite the animals, is a protruding section that holds the doors self-acting stone bar.The front and middle chambers are 7.2 meters high and 6 meters wide.The floor is covered with gold bricks.According to records, the gold bricks are smooth and durable.The more you polish them, the brighter they become.There are no decorations in the front and two anne_ chambers.In the middle chamber, there are three marble thrones for Emperor Wanli and his two Emprees, known as the precious thrones.In the front of the thrones, there are five yellow glazed offerings and one blue-and-white porcelain jar of Jiajing Years style with a cloud-and-dragon design.It is about 0.7 meters in diameter.Originally there was sesame oil in the jar.On the surface of the oil was a copper tube with a wick inside.It is called the everlasting lamp.Due to the lack of o_ygen, the light went out so the oil had not been used all.The rear chamber is the biggest of the three.It is 9.5 meters high, 31 meters long, 9.l meters wide, the floor is paved with polished stones.In the rear chamber, there is a coffin platform edged with white marble.Placed on the platform are the coffins of Emperor Wanli and his two Emprees as well as 26 vermilion bo_es filled with funeral objects.In the middle of the coffin platform, there is a rectangular hole filled with soil called Gold Well.Putting jade stone around the coffin or inside the coffin or in the mouth of the deceased is called being buried with jade.Ancient people believed Gold Well was the pit of geomancy.It could prevent the body from decay for a long time.Being buried with jade on a Gold Well was the highest standard of entombment one could receive in the feudal era.Originally the empre coffin should have been placed in the rear chamber.Then why were the coffins of the two emprees also in the same chamber as the emperors In 1620, first empre Xiaoduan died in April, then in July Emperor Wanli also died.After that, the son of Zhu Changluo died 29 days after his succeion.In only a few months, two emperors and one empre had died in succeion.In addition they had removed Empre Xiaojings coffin to Dingling.All the burdens of the funeral burials fell on the just enthroned Emperor Zhu Youjian.The preparation work was done in a hurried fashion(this was clearly recorded in historical documents).The rainy season had already arrived before the funeral could occur and the paage leading to the empre anne_ chamber may not have been convenient to open.So the coffins of the emperor, emprees all entered the Underground Palace through the front entrance.After the coffins entered the Underground Palace, since the paage to the anne_ chambers were narrow, the coffins of the emprees would not fit through it.So they had to put all the three coffins together into the rear chamber.Now please follow me out of the underground palace.And our tour for today is completed.I hope you have found our time together informative and enjoyable.We now have half an hour for a rest, and then we will get together here at 4:00pm.Thank you.北京颐和园英语导游词

Now, we have arrived at the East Palace Gate.It’s the main entrance of the Summer Palace.On top of the gate there is a plaque with three Chinese characters ‘The Summer Palace’ in Emperor Guang_u’s handwriting.The gate that we are now entering was used by the emperor, the empre only in the old days.Word文档仅供参考

Now we are inside the Summer Palace.In front of us is the second gate of the Summer Palace the Gate of Benevolence and Longevity.The anne_ halls on both sides were used for officials on duty and the offices of the Privy Council.Well, Before we start our tour in the garden, I will briefly introduce you the layout of the Summer Palace and our tour route.O.K., ladies and gentlemen, may I have your attention please Let’s look at the map together, From it we can see the Summer Palace covers an area of 290 hectares, which the lake occupies the three-fourths.The whole garden can be divide into three parts: the area was for political activities, resting places of the emperor and empre, and sightseeing areas.Our tour will start from the area of the political activities, and end off the Marble Boat.On the way, we will visit the main constructions of the Summer Palace, such as the Hall of Jade Ripples, the Hall of Happine and Longevity, the Long Corridor, the Hall of Dispelling Clouds and so on.It will take us about two hours to visit the Summer Palace.Please attention, we won’t walk back and our driver will pick us up at the North Gate.Should you get lost or separated from the group, please meet us at the North Gate.Ok, everyone, let’s start our tour from the emperors’ office---the Hall of Benevolence and Longevity.Follow me please.(Inside the courtyard of the Benevolence and Longevity)

Paing through the Gate of Benevolence and Longevity, we have already entered the courtyard of the Hall of Benevolence and Longevity.The huge rock in front of us is Taihu Rock.It was quarried from Taihu Lake in Jiangsu Province, so it was known as Taihu Rock.Please look around the courtyard and you can see there are four grotesque shaped rocks placed in each corner of this courtyard, representing the four seasons of the year.The Taihu Rocks are usually used as decoration for beautifying gardens and they are thin, crease, leak and penetration in characters.The bronze mythical animal behind the Taihu Rock is known as Suanni or some people call it Qilin.According to ancient Chinese mythology, the dragon had nine sons, but none of them became a real dragon.Suanni was one of the nine sons of the dragon.It was an auspicious animal that could avoid evil spirits in ancient lengeds.Suanni has the head of dragon, the antlers of dear, the hooves of o_ and the tail of lion.(In front of the Hall of Benevolence and Longevity)

This grand hall is the Hall of Benevolence and Longevity.It was first built in 1750.The name of this hall taken from a book entitled ‘Lun Yu’ by Confucius doctrine means, those who are benevolent can enjoy a long life.This hall was the place where Emperor Guang_u and Empre Dowager Ci_i held audience and handled state affairs when they were in the Summer Palace.For protecting the historical cultural relic, we couldn’t enter the hall.So I Word文档仅供参考

would like to briefly introduce you the decorations in the Hall of Benevolence and Longevity.The arrangement of the hall has been left untouched.In the middle of the hall stands an emperor’s throne carved with nine dragons on design.There are two big fans on both sides behind the throne which are made of peacock feathers.Behind the throne there is a big screen with red sandalwood frame and gla mirror inlaid.On the mirror there are 226 Chinese characters of the word ‘Longevity’ written in different styles.There are two scrolls on each side of the wall with a big Chinese character ‘Longevity’ written on it.It was said that the word ‘Longevity’ written by Empre Dowager Ci_i.There are 100 bats painted at the background of the scroll symbolizing happine.Well, please look up the two pairs of incense burners in the shape of a dragon and a phoeni_ in front of the hall.They were used to burn incense sticks to create the appropriate atmosphere.In the old days, the dragon and phoeni_ were the symbol of the emperor and empre.According to ritual, the dragons should be placed in the center while phoeni_es were to either side in front of the hall.However, here, the dragons are off to the sides and the phoeni_es are in the middle.This was a product of the end of Qing Dynasty when Empre Dowager Ci_i handled state affairs behind the screen.(At the entrance of Garden of virtuour Harmony)

We are now visiting the Garden of Virtuous Harmony, where Emperor Qianlong and Empre Dowager Ci_i were entertained with Bejing Opera performances.It mainly consists of the Dreing House, the Grand Theater Building and the Hall of Pleasure Smile.The Grand Theater Building was known as the ‘Cradle of Beijing Opera’ was uniquely laid out and magnificently decorated.There are 7 e_hibition halls with articles of daily use on display here.(In front of the Grand Theater Building)

This is the Grand Theater Building.Of the three main theater buildings of the Qing Dynasty, the Grand Theater Building is the tallest and largest one.The other two are Changyin Pavilion in the Forbidden City and Qingyin Pavilion in the Mountain Resort in Chengde.The Grand Theater Building, a three-storied structure, has a double roof with upturned eaves.It is 21 meters high and 17 meters wide.Performances could be staged simultaneously on three levels.The top one was a symbol of happine, the middle level was emolument level and the bottom stage was named longevity stage.Each level has the entrance and the e_it.There are some trapdoors in the ceiling and below the floor for ‘celestial being’ to fly down from the sky and the ‘devils’ to appear from the earth to set off a certain atmosphere on the stage.There is also a well and five ponds built under the stage for a good effect of water scenes.The stage is open to three sides.Well, please look at the construction that stands right opposite the Grand Theater Building, it’s the Hall of Pleasure Smile.The Empre Dowager Ci_i used bo sit inside the hall to watch and enjoy the Peking Opera.(A lakeside walk from the Garden of virtuous Harmony to the Hall of Jade Ripples)

We are now standing in the middle of a rockery behind the Hall of Benevolence and Longevity.It appears that there’s nothing special ahead.However, after we clear the rockery, we will reach Kunming Lake.This is an application of a specific style of Chinese

gardening.Now, we are walking along the bank of the Kunming Lake.Look over there, not far away in the lake there is an islet.It’s called the Spring Heralding Islet.The pavilion on the islet is called the Spring Heralding Pavilion.A number of willow trees and peach trees were planted on this islet.In early spring, when the ice begins to melt, peach trees are red in pink blooms, willow trees turn a tender green signaling that the early spring has returned.Hence the name ‘Heralding Sping Pavilion’.(In front of the Hall of Jade Ripples)

This group of special and quiet courtyard dwellings is the Hall of Jade Ripples.The words Jade Ripples came from a verse Gentle ripples gushing out of Jade Spring, which refers to the rippling water in the lake.It was first used by Emperor Qianlong to attend to state affairs.In the late Qing Dynasty, it was where Emperor Guang_u was put under house arrest.This hall is a hallmark of the Movement of 1898.Emperor Guang_u was Emperor Dowager Ci_i’s nephew.After Emperor Tongzhi died, Emperor Dowager Ci_i made her nephew, who was at that time four years old a succeor in order to continue her hold on imperial power.She ‘handled state affairs behind the screen’.After Emperor Guang_u ‘managed state affairs personally’ at the age of 19, a political conflict occurred between the conservatives and the reformers.In 1898, the Reform Movement took place with the aim of sustaining the core principles of the Qing Dynasty while reforming outdated laws.The movement lasted for103 days until it was suppreed by Empre Dowager Ci_i.It was called the ‘Hundred-Day Reform’.After the reform failed, Emperor Guang_u was put under house arrest here.For the strict control of him, Empre Dowager Ci_i ordered to build many brick walls in the front, back, and on the right and left of the Hall of Jade Ripples.At that time the hall was entirely sealed up, just like a prison.Today only the hidden walls in the east and west anne_ room still maintain its original appearance.It is open to visitors as the relic related to the 1898 Reform Movement.(In front of the Chamber of Collecting Books)

This is the Chamber of Collecting Books.In Chinese, it’s called Yi Yun Guang.Yun was a kind of fragrant weed.In ancient times, it was usually used as termite repellent in rooms where books were stored.In the Emperor Qianlong’s reign, the purpose of the hall was for collecting books.Later it was converted into a residence.There used to be the residence of Guang_u’s Empre Longyu, and his favorite concubine Zhenfei.Word文档仅供参考

(In the Hall of Happine and Longevity)

This group of courtyard is the Hall of Happine and Longevity.It was the major architectural structure in the living quarters and the residence of Empre Dowager Ci_i.The whole compound was basically made of wood, which is ideal for ventilation and lighting.With its quiet and tasteful layout, the Hall of Happine and Longevity made life very easy and convenient.In front of the Hall of Happine and Longevity there is a huge rock placed in the middle of this courtyard named Qing Zhi Xiu and nicknamed as Family Bankruptcy Rock.This huge rock was discovered in Fangshan District by a Ming official Mi Wanzhong.He wanted to transport it to his own garden Shaoyuan.In the old days, transporting such rock was very difficult.After spending all his money to ship it, he still could not succeed in doing this.The big rock was then left on the roadside somewhere near Liang_iang County, 30 kilometers southwest of Beijing.Hence it was nicknamed Family Bancruptcy Rock.Later Emperor Qianlong discovered it and transported to the Garden of Clear Ripples and laid in front of the Hall of Happine and Longevity.The colorful gla chandeliers hanging inside the hall was introduced from Germany in 1903.It is one of the earliest electric lights in China.(In front of the Gate of Inviting the Moon of the Long Corridor)

Ladies and Gentlemen, you may have visited some of the best museums in the world, such as the Louvre in France and the Museum of Great Britain.Now I will show you a special gallery in the palacethe Long Corridor.In 1990, the Long Corridor was listed in the Guinne Book of World Records as ‘the longest painted corridor’ in the world’.It would be a pity if we leave the Summer Palace without visiting the Long Corridor and the Marble Boat.Now, here we go, the Long Corridor first

(Strolling along the Long Corridor)

The Long Corridor starts from the Gate Inviting the Moon to the Shizhang Gate.It is 728 meters long and consists of 273 sections.The Long corridor is one of the major structures of the Summer Palace.Since the corridor was designed to follow the physical features of the southern slope of Longevity Hill, four multiple-eaved, octagonal pavilions(Retaining the Goodne Pavilion, Living with the Ripples Pavilion, Autumn Water Pavilion, Clear and Far Pavilion)were placed at bends and undulation, they represent four seaons of a year.Thus visitors will hardly notice the rise and fall of the terrain.As a major part of the architectural style of the Summer Palace, the Long Corridor serves as an ingenious connector between the Lake and the Hill.Scattered buildings on the southern slope were linked to create a unified comple_.The Long Corridor is the longest covered veranda in any Chinese garden.On the purlins and beams of the covered veranda, there are over 14,000 Suzhou style paintings.Among them, there are 546 color paintings relating to the scenes of West Lake in Hangzhou, Zhejiang Province.Beside the colorful paintings of natural scenery, there are also scenes of flowers, birds, fish, insects, mythology and figures.The paintings of figures are mainly adapted from ancient Chinese Word文档仅供参考

claical literature, such as ‘Pilgrimage to the West’, ‘The Romance of the Three Kingdoms’, ‘The western Chamber’, Water Margin’, and ‘The Dream of the Red Mansion’.(In front of the Gate of Dispelling Clouds)

Now we are approaching the central part of the structures on the lakeside slope, the Tower of Buddhist Incense within the Hall of Dispelling Clouds.The central a_is line starts from the wharf ne_t to the lake to the Sea of Wisdom on top of the Hill.The main architectural structures here are the Gate of Dispelling Clouds, Hall of Dispelling clouds, Tower of Buddhist Incense and the Sea of Wisdom, which altogether form a splendid three-dimensional landscape.The layout of this group of architectures was based on scenes described in Buddhist sutras.This group of structures are among the most magnificently constructed here in the Summer Palace.This is a good place to taking photos, we will stay here for about 15 minutes.Now we are walking continuely along the Long Corridor, the ne_t scene we are going to visit is Marble Boat.Look over there Halfway up the slope there stands the Hall of Listening to Orioles.It was the place for emperor and empre to enjoy opera and court music.It is said the singing of orioles is very pleasing.Before the Garden of Virtuous Harmony was built, Empre Dowager Ci_i enjoyed opera and music here.Now the hall is one of the most famous restaurants in China, featuring imperial dishes and deerts.This is the famous Marble Boat.A famous scientist of China’s Eastern Han Dynasty once said, Water can float the boat, but it can also tip it over.A prime minister of Tang Dynasty Wei Zheng once used these words to persuade Li Shimin, the emperor of the Tang Dynasty.He said people are water and the emperor is the boat.People can support a good emperor.However, they also can overthrow the dynasty.Emperor Qianlong built this huge boat in the Garden in order to make the allusion concrete.On one hand, Emperor Qianlong encouraged himself to run the country well.On the other hand, he wanted to show that his rule of the Qing Dynasty was as firm as the Marble Boat and there was no fear of overturning the boat.The Marble Boat was the place for Emperor Qianlong to sample tea and enjoy the scenery of Kunming Lake.Emperor Qianlong once came here to engage in the freeing of captive animals.In the times of Qianlong, the Marble Boat was a Chinese styled stone boat with a Chinese style wooden superstructure on the top of it.When it was rebuilt in the times of Guang_u, a foreign and Chinese elements mi_ed resulting in two wheels to be added to the boat, one on each side.The floor was paved with colored bricks.All of the windows were inlaid with multiple-colored gla.A big mirror was installed on the superstructure for viewing rain.Our tour is drawing to a close after we visited the Marble Boat.Today we only visited the major scenic spots of the Summer Palace.I have left other spots of interest for your ne_t visit.I will now show you out through the Ruyi Gate.Our coach is waiting for us outside the gate.I do hope you enjoyed today’s tour.Thank you.Word文档仅供参考

Good morning，Ladies and Gentlemen：Welcome to Beijing，and welcome to today's Hutong tour！First of all，I would like to start with the term"Hutong"，H-U-T-O-N-G what does Hutong mean？

According to experts，the word Hutong originated from Mongolian language meaning"Well".In ancient times，people tended to gather and live around wells.So the original meaning of Hutong should be"a place where people gather and live." Nobody knows exactly how many Hutongs there are in nowadays Beijing.But one thing is for sure，if we connected all the Hutongs together，their total length would even be longer than the famous Great wall，which is about 4000 miles longer.Today you can find various Hutongs with different shapes，lengths or directions.The shortest one is only 40 centimeters wide, And some Hutongs have more than 20 turns.As we walk through the Hutongs，you may find most of them look almost the same with gray-colored walls and bricks.Actually inside those walls are the courtyard houses，where people live.In Chinese we call them"siheyuan".The gate building of each Siheyuan is the only thing that we can see along the Hutongs.Chinese people used to try to protect their privacy from being intruded by strangers.So the gate building，in old times，was a symbol to show the position of each house owner.look at thtis one nest door，it has the lion design，because that owner used to be a military officer.Interesting？

Now let's see the doorway.Almost every doorway has a threshold，that high step over there.For what reason they put a big step at the door？You know Chinese people believe all the evil spirits are short.They can not jump over high steps.So the threshold is actually for warding off evil spirits.In old times，transportation was not as convenient as today，so street vendors played a very important role in Hutong life.They wandered from lane to lane selling various goods or providing all kind of services.People could judge the goods or services from their peddling or the sounds of their special instruments.The food they sold usually include baked pancakes，seasoned millet mush，or Youzhaguo，a kind of deep-fried twisted dough sticks，and all kinds of vegetables.But now，with modern life all around，it's hard for people to hear the traditional melodious hawking.Look at the crowd sitting over there！What do you think they are doing？Talking about Vic Tanny？Oprah's？Or just goiping？Any ideas？Let's go and see！

Oh，they are building a new Great Wall.But their bricks are Chinese Mahjong！A very popular pastime among the Hutong people，especially among the senior citizens who have retired.The main attraction of Hutong life is friendly and interpersonal communication.Children living in one courtyard play together and grow up together like one big family.We want to save it as a treasure to show our later generations what Beijing used to be like.OK.Time files.It's almost the end of the tour.Today，through our Hutong tour，I hope you are not only happy with what you have seen but also get a better understanding of the culture and people in the Hutong area.Thank you for your attention，and hope you enjoy the rest of the tour in China！

女士们先生们，早上好：

欢迎你们来到北京，欢迎你们参加胡同游。首先，我将从“胡同”一词说起。专家认为，“胡同”这个词来源于蒙古语，意思是“井”。古时候人们生活和聚集在井的周围，所以“胡同”一词的本意应是“人们生活聚集的地方”。不管它确切意思如何，有一点是可以肯定的，胡同在北京第一次出现是在元朝。

今天我们看到的大多数胡同是明清两代产物，没有人能够确切的说出北京有多少胡同。但有一点很清楚，如果将各个胡同连接起来，总长度超过著名的万里长城。

今天您可以发现不同形状、长度和方向的胡同。最短的胡同只有10米长，最窄的胡同仅40厘米宽，也就是说象我这样的身材需要侧身走才能穿过胡同，还有些胡同有20多个弯。

当我们进入胡同时，您也许发现几乎所有的墙和砖都是灰色的。其实，在这些墙的后面就是居民的家，我们称其为“四合院”。

在胡同中我们只能看见四合院的大门。古时候的中国人不希望有陌生人来打扰，因此从大门的样子就可以看出主人的身份和地位。例如这个门，又高又大，门檐有砖雕装饰。仔细看它的图案，李子花和竹子，这意味着这里的主人曾是侍奉皇帝左右的王公大臣。看旁边的门，有狮子的图案，这说明这里曾住着武官。有趣吧？

让我们看看门口中，几乎每个门口都有一条横木，它的作用是驱邪避难。民间传说小鬼很矮，他们无法跳过高的台阶，所以设此横木。

过去，交通不象现在这样发达，街头小贩在胡同中起到重要作用，他们往来于胡同间，贩卖各种货品或提供各种服务。人们可以从不同的叫卖声中辨别他们要卖什么或提供什么样的服务。他们卖的食品主要是煎饼、小米粥、油炸果、油条和一些蔬菜。理发师则不需要吆喝，他只需要拿着理发工具做好本职工作即可。但是在现在，这里已是现代化生活氛围，已经很难听到老北京那清脆的叫卖声了。

那边坐着一群人，你们知道他们正在做什么呢？他们在修新长城呢！他们使用的是最新的砖——麻将牌。它是非常流行的消遣方式，特别在退休的老年人中倍受青睐。

胡同生活的最大魅力在于人与人之间的友好交往。孩子们在一起长大，如同一家人一样。因此，我国政府打算保护这一地区，没有政府批准，不得在这一地区拆盖高楼，为我们的子孙后代保留这份宝贵遗产。

时间真快！我们就要结束今天的旅行了我希望您不仅大饱眼福，而且更了解胡同文化和这里的人们。如果有一天您再次来访，我将邀请您来我家做客。

谢谢大家！希望大家尽情享受余下的中国之旅！

The Architectural Complex of the Altar of Prayer for Grain

（祈谷坛建筑群）

Today, we"ll go to visit the Temple of Heaven.First, I'll give you a brief introduction of it.The Temple of Heaven is situated in the southern part of Beijing It was first built during 1420 during the Ming Dynasty.It covers an area of 273hectares.The Temple of Heaven is not only the largest group of temple building in China, but also the largest heaven-worshipping architecture in the world.originally the Temple of Heaven was built according to the Temple of Heaven and Earth in Nanjing, so both heaven and earth were worshiped here, and then it was called the Temple of Heaven and Earth at that time.In1530, another structure, the Temple of Earth was built in the northern part of Beijing and then Heaven and Earth were worshipped separately.Since only Heaven was worshipped in here, it was renamed the Temple of Heaven.During the Ming and Qing dynasties, the Temple of Heaven was the place where the emperors came to worship the God of Heaven and pray for good harvests.The emperor came here twice a year.The first time was on the15 day of the first lunar month.The emperor would come to the Hall of the Prayer for Good Harvests and held a big ceremony to pray for a bumper harvest.The second time was on winter solstice, and a sacrificial ceremony would be held at the Circular Mount Altar to offer a sacrifice to the Heaven.1 / 6

Being a sacred place for worshipping heaven, the Temple of Heaven had been twice seriously damaged by the Anglo-French Allied Forces in 1860 and the invading troops of the eight powers in 1900.Architecturally speaking, the Temple of Heaven has two themes: the heaven and the earth.The surrounding walls of the Temple of Heaven are 6 meters high with a semicircular wall to the north and square shaped wall to the south.This represents an ancient belief that the heaven was round and the earth was square.There are three main buildings in the Temple of Heaven they are the Hall of Prayer for Good Harvests, the Imperial Vault of Heaven and the Circular Mound Altar.The Architectural Complex of the Circular Mound Altar

（圆丘坛建筑群）

Ladies and gentlemen: Welcome to the Temple of Heaven.Today we are going to visit the Circular Mound Altar.The Circular Mound Altar was built in 1530 and enlarged in 1740.There are two walls that encircle the Altar.Both walls are painted red and surrounded by blue tiles.Each wall represents something different.The round inner wall represents Heaven while the square outer wall represents Earth.In the southeast corner, pine and cypre branches were burned in the green-tiled oven to welcome the gods from heaven.To bid farewell to the gods, human sacrifices were burned in the oven.Next to the oven, there is a special pit called "the Pit of Hair and Blood "because the hair and blood of the sacrificial victims were buried here.2 / 6

In the southwest corner, a platform to hold a lantern pole can be seen The pole was built in 1530 but its length changed several times.Originally, a golden dragon blue background was painted on the pole, later, the color of background was changed to red.The pole was last redecorated by Yuan Shikai the warlord made the last sacrifice to Heaven.The Circular Mound Altar is comprised of three round white marble terraces.Each one is edged with a marble balustrade.The bottom marble terrace represents Hell, the middle terrace represents the Mortal World and the top terrace Heaven.And a kind of ancient yardstick was used to measure the length in zhang"(one "zhang" Is a little le than 3.5 meters), the Upper terrace is 9 "zhang"(30 meters)in diameter, the middle terrace is 15"zhang"(50meters)in diameter and the bottom terrace 21 "zhang"(70 meters)in diameter, and the numbers 1x9-9: 3x5-15: 3x7-21, include all the so-called Heavenly numbers" 1.3.5.7.9: and the total number of the three terraces is 45, the result of 9x5, which is in complete conformity with "the Supreme Number of Nine and Five"in the "Book of Changes".The arrangement of putting number nine and five together was used exclusively in China by the ancient emperors.That's why it was used here.In the center of the upper terrace is the Heaven's Heart Stone which is surrounded by concentrically arranged flag stones.There are 9 stones in the first circle, 18 in the second.27 in the third.It continues in this manner up to the ninth circle, which has 81 stones.The middle and bottom terraces also have 9 circles each.The total number of the marble flagstones on the surface is 3, 402, and each terrace has four entrances and a flight of nine steps leading down in every direction.The total number of the carved balustrades on these terraces is 360, which is also the multiple of

3 / 6

9.It stands for the 360 degrees of circumference of heaven.During each ceremony, the shrine of god was placed on the central Supreme Stone, which symbolized that god lived above the "Nine Heavens The highest terrace produces a curious acoustic effect.If you stand in the center of the upper terrace and speak, you will hear your voice echo back because the balustrades send the sound back to the center.North of the Circular Mound Altar is the Imperial Vault of Heaven, which was originally built in 1530 and rebuilt 1752.Its structure is made from wood and bricks with a blue tiled roof that is topped with a gilded ball.It is 19.5meters high and 15.6 meters in diameter.From a distance, the Imperial Vault of Heaven looks like a small version of the Hall of Prayer for Good Harvests As you can see, the building does not have any horizontal beams as support.The entire building is supported by 8 pillars and a span-work of bars, laths and brackets, which is in complete conformity with the principles of dynamics.The decorative paintings appear fresh because they were retouched in1974.In the center of the Imperial Vault of Heaven stands the shrine where the tablet of God of Heaven was placed.There are four stone platforms on each side where the tablets of the emperor's eight ancestors were kept.During each winter solstice, these tablets were placed in a small pavilion-like cage and removed to the Circular Mound for the Worshipping Heaven ceremony.After the ceremony, the tablets were returned to the stone platforms.Two chambers located at the front of the Imperial Vault of Heaven contained different tablets used for worship.The left chamber contained tablets of the gods of basic elements including gold, wood, water, fire and earth, The right chamber

contained tablets of gods of natural phenomena including wind, rain, thunder, lightning and so on The Imperial Vault of Heaven is better known for the wall that surrounds It.This wall is called Echo Wall" or " The Whispering Wall".It is 3.72 meters high, 90 centimeters thick and 65.1 meters in diameter, The eaves of the wall and the hermetically laid bricks make wirele communication poible between two people who speak in normal voices.To be the most effective, a couple of conditions must exist: First, the courtyard cannot be too noisy Second, both people must face north.It is better to stand by the wall at the back of the two side chambers.The entrance of the courtyard prevents the voices from being heard by others.Worship of the God of Heaven followed a fixed pattern.First, the officials responsible for the ceremony had to write a program, which was presented to the emperor in the Hall of Supreme Harmony in the Forbidden City for approval.After the program was approved, the emperor rehearsed it in the Hall of Complete Harmony.The day before the ceremony, the emperor presented incense in the Imperial Vault of Heaven.Then, he went to the Circular Mound Altar to inspect the tablets.Also, the emperor inspected sacrificial articles in the storehouse of the gods.On the day of the ceremony, the emperor left the Hall of Abstinence two hours before sunrise to the chiming of the bell.Music and drums replaced the Altar.This is how the ceremony began.The entire ritual consisted of nine steps.1.Welcoming the deities where something special was burnt to usher in the God of Heaven.2.Offering Jade and silk items in boxes.3.Presenting sacrificial animals.5 / 6

北京十三陵英语导游词

he Ming Tombs are 40 kilometers north of Beijing City on the southern slopes of Tianshou Mountain.They are the burial grounds of 13 Ming Dynasty emperors.In July 2019 the site was designated a world cultural heritage site by UNESCO.Empre Xu died in the 5th year of Yongle(1407).Zhu Di sent

Zhao Hong, secretary of the Ministry of Rites and a geomancer----Liao Junqing along with many others to Beijing in search of an auspicious place for the tombs.It is said that this group of people first selected the area of Tu Jia Ying, which means slaughter-house, and as such, it couldn't be used as the burial ground.Next they selected the foot of Yangshan Mountain, Changping.However, since the surname of the emperor 1(Zhu)is a homophone for pig and because a village named 'wolf mouth ravine' was located there, they decided against using that area.Later, they found Yan-jiatai west of Beijing.Again, since 'Yanjia' was the homonym of the death of the emperor, it was also deemed unsuitable.It was not until the 7th year of Yongle(1409), that they finally chose the present Heavenly Longevity Mountain as their cemetery grounds.The whole area covers 40 square kilometers.It has mountains to its east, west and north, and Dragon Mountain and Tiger Mountain are on either side of its southern entrance.The 13 tombs go from north to south.They are arranged in the manner of the Imperial Palace, with the administration area in the front and living quarters in the rear.In front of the tombs are divine paes, stone archways and steel towers.The Precious City and Ming Tower stand over the Underground Palace.There were 16 emperors during the Ming Dynasty.Buried in the Ming tombs, are 13 Ming emperors and 23 emprees, as well as many concubines, princes, princees and maids.The other 3 emperors, Emperor Zhu Yuanzhang, Zhu Yunwen and Zhu Qiyu are buried in other locations.The founder of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Yuanzhang, established his capital in present day Nanjing where he was buried after

2 his death.His tomb is called Xiaoling(Tomb of Filial Piety).The body of the second emperor of the Ming, Zhu Yunwen, is miing.Some said that he died in a fire, while others said that he went to a temple and became a monk.There is no final conclusion yet.The seventh Ming Emperor Zhu Qiyu, was buried as a prince by his elder brother Zhu Qizhen at Jinshankou, a western suburb of Beijing, because in the Tumubao Upheaval, Emperor Zhu Qizhen became a captive and the younger brother of Zhu Qizhen.Zhu Qiyu was chosen as the new emperor, but later Zhu Qizhen was back and proclaimed his re-enthronement in the Seizing Gate Upheaval.The Memorial Arch was built in the 19th year of Jiajing(1540)as a symbol of the Ming Tombs.It is 14 meters high and 28.86 meters wide, and has 5 arches supported by 6 pillars with beautiful bas-relief carvings of lions, dragons and lotus flowers.The Memorial Arch is the biggest and the most exquisite stone arch preserved in the country today.The major designs of dragon and cloud decorations reflect the character of imperial architecture.In addition, it also demonstrates the skillful artistry of the Ming craftsmen.The Big Palace Gate is the front gate of the Ming Tombs, and is more commonly known as Big Red Gate.Facing south, there

3 are three arch entrances to the gate, the main inlet to the Ming Tombs.Flanking the gate are two stone tablets, inscribed with orders for the emperor, officials and other people to dismount, before entering into the tomb area.If they did not obey, they would be punished for their disrespect.The rules governing the Ming Tombs in the Ming Dynasty, stipulate that one who sneaks into the tomb area to pick firewood and break twigs would be flogged.Those who came to fetch dirt and stone would be beheaded.Those who entered arbitrarily into the tomb area would be flogged a hundred times.The Tablet House was built in the 10th year of Xuande(1435), and stands about 10 meters high with two tiers of eaves.A huge tablet stands in the middle of the Tablet House.The front side bears an inscription by Emperor Renzong for Chengzu.The reverse side is a poem by Qing Emperor Qianlong recording in detail the conditions of the broken Changling, Yongling, Dingling and Xiling.On the east side is the record of expenditures for repairing the Ming Tombs by the Qing government.On the west side is an epitaph by Qing Emperor Jiaqing.It was written in the 9th year of Jiaqing(1804)describing the cause of the fall of the Ming Dynasty.On the north side of the Tablet House, stands a group of

4 stone carvings(36 in all).Behind the house, there are two stone pillars.Beyond the pillars are stone animals and other statues.Lions, Xie Zhi, camels, elephants, and Qi Lin horses.All of the animals are in two pairs.Two stand, while the other two kneel.It is followed by the statues of military officers, civil officials and officials of merit, four in each group.These stone animals and statues were made in the 10th year of Xuande(1435).They reflect the imperial power when he was alive and the imperial dignity after he was deceased.The animals and statues were created using whole blocks of stone weighing a couple of tons and each was delicately and masterfully carved.Here stands Ling Xing Gate, also known as the unique Dragon and Phoenix Gate, with the meaning of the Gate of Heaven.The gate is pierced with six door leaves, attached to three archways.The top of the central section of the three archways is decorated with flames and precious pearl, so it is also known as the Flame Archway.To the north of the Dragon and Phoenix Gate there lays a seven-arch marble bridge, leading to the gate of Changling.To the east of the seven-arch bridge stands an old five-arch bridge, which was the original site of the seven-arch bridge.5

Actually we are standing on the axle line of the Ming Tombs, otherwise known as the Sacred Way or the Tomb path.We paed the Memorial Arch, the Big Palace Gate, the Tablet House, Sacred Way, stone animals and statues, and Ling Xing Gate.This seven-kilometer long sacred pathway leads from south to north, all the way to the Gate of Changling.Now, we are moving to Chang Ling.Changling is the first tomb built in the Ming Tombs area, covering 10 hectares and containing Emperor Zhu Di and his empre Xu.Zhu Di(Chengzu)of the Ming Dynasty was the fourth son of the first Emperor Zhu Yuanzhang, born in 1360.Zhu Di was conferred the title of the prince of Yan in the 3rd year of Hongwu(1370).He was appointed at Beiping.After the death of Zhu Yuanzhang(the first Ming Emperor), Zhu Di used the pretext of eliminating evil officials at the side of Emperor Jianwen to lead an army expedition down south to Nanjing.He seized the throne in the 4th year of Jianwen(1402)and ascended the throne in June inside the Hall of Ancestral Worship in Nanjing.Zhu Di was an emperor of outstanding accomplishment in the Ming Dynasty.As soon as he became the prince of Yan, he led the generals out to battle.He had great achievements in calming down the north.After he took over his nephew's power and became

6 the emperor, he still went out to battle throughout the country and consolidated the rule of the Ming Dynasty.He made the important decision to move the capital to Beijing.During the rule of Zhu Di, magnificent developments were made in the economy, culture and in diplomacy.In terms of culture, Zhu Di succeively sent Grand Academician Xie Jin, Yan Guangxiao and others to compile the Yongle encyclopedia.The book has become the largest book ever complied in Chinese history.For expanding external exchanges and trade, Zhu Di selected eunuch Zheng He to lead a large fleet filled with precious gold, silver, silk and satins to sail to southeast Asia and Africa seven times in the early years of Yongle.Empre Xu was buried together with Emperor Zhu Di in Changling.Empre Xushi was the eldest daughter of Xu Da who was one of the founding fathers of the Ming Dynasty.Throughout her lifespan, Xu Shi complied 20 articles of internal lectures and a book advising to be good, so as to cultivate people's minds.She was the very first one to be buried in Changling and in the Ming Tomb area.The Hall of Eminent Favor in Changling is the best preserved among the thirteen tombs.It is a valuable relic of ancient China's wooden structures.It is nine rooms wide and five rooms

7 long, a hall size rarely seen in China.The roof is made of top-cla double eaves and there are multiple rooms covered with yellow glazed tiles.The hall is supported by 60 thick Nanmu pillars, the middle four in the hall are the thickest, the diameter of each one can reach over one meter.It is known as the best Nanmu(phoebe)hall in the country.Now we are going to Dinging.Dingling is located at the east foot of Dayu Mountain.Buried here are the 13th Ming Emperor Wanli(Zhu Yijun)and his two emprees Xiaoduan and Xiaojing.Zhu Yijun was the longest on the throne of the Ming Emperors.(He was emperor for 48 years).He was the greediest and laziest emperor in the Ming Dynasty.Zhu Yijun ascended the throne at the age of 9.After he came to power, he was supported by the chief minister Zhang Juzheng.At this time, various aspects of society gained development.Later ,Zhang Juzheng died of illne.Not long after Wanli managed state affairs on his own, he used the chance to select the location for his tomb site when he went to pay homage to the ancestors' tombs.He spent eight million taels of silver(250,000 kilos of silver)and six years to build a high quality tomb Dingling.After the Dingling was completed, Zhu Yijun personally went to inspect it, and felt very satisfied with the

8 result.He went so far as to hold a grand banquet in the Underground Palace, which was unheard of in history.Zhu Yijun was a typical muddle-headed emperor.Reflecting on his reign, he did not pay attention to state affairs for 28 out of his 48 year rule.The state organ was effectively semi-paralyzed during his reign.Later generations commented that the fall of the Ming dynasty was caused by this emperor.Zhu Yijun had two emprees.Empre Xiaojing was originally a maid of Wanli's mother Cisheng.Later she gave birth to a son of the emperor.That son was the one-month emperor Guangzong(Zhu Changluo).She died of illne 9 years earlier than Shenzong died.She was buried as a concubine at Pinggangdi, around the east pit, at the Heavenly Longevity Mount.After Xiaojing was conferred the title of “grandmother of the emperor”, her body was moved to the Underground Palace of Dingling, and buried together with Emperor Wanli and Empre Xiaoduan on the same day.Xiaoduan was conferred the title of empre, but she could not give birth to either a son or a daughter to the emperor.Xiaoduan died of illne.A hundred days later, Emperor Wanli(Zhu Yijun)died too.Empre Xiaoduan, Emperor Wanli, and Empre Xiaojing were buried together in the Underground Palace.9

The tablet in front of Dingling has no words on it.It is called the wordle tablet.There is a pair of coiling dragons along the top and a pattern of sea waves carved on the bottom.Its base is composed of a tortoise(Bixi).It is said that the dragon has nine sons.In twelve of the Ming Tombs, excluding Changling, all the tablets are wordle.Originally there were no tablet houses in front of the Tombs, but later the tablet houses and steeles of the first six tombs were completed.But the emperor Jiajing at the time indulged in drinking, lust and searching for longevity pills, so he had no time to pay attention on the inscriptions.Consequently the six tablets are wordle.And in keeping with this tradition, that’s why the tablets later on are also blank.Now we are arriving at The Gate of Eminent Favor and the Hall of Eminent Favor of Dingling, The Hall of Eminent Favor is also called Hall of Enjoyment.It was the place where the emperor and his entourage held grand sacrificial rites.They were mostly destroyed when the Qing soldiers came.And they were destroyed again later, so now only the ruins remain.Moving on, this is the exhibition rooms that were built after the excavation of the Underground Palace.The exhibition explains in detail the history of the tomb master and introduces

10 the tomb excavation proce.The exhibition rooms are divided into two parts, the south and the north.In the south room, on display are the sacrificial objects of Emperor Wanli unearthed from the Underground Palace.In the north room, on display are the sacrificial items of the two emprees.All of then are fancy and invaluable.Now we arrive at The Soul Tower, this is the symbol of the tomb.It is a stone structure with colorful painted decorations.The Soul Tower and the Precious citadel of Dingling have never been damaged seriously.The Soul Tower is the best preserved architecture above the ground of Dingling.On top of the yellow, glazed tiled roof of the Soul Tower sits a big stone tablet.Two Chinese characters----Dingling, are carved on the tablet.Inside the Soul Tower, on top of another stone tablet, there are two big characters----'the Great Ming' written in seal characters.On the body of the tablet, seven Chinese characters---'Tomb of Emperor Shenzong Xian' are carved.The Soul Tower is connected with the Precious Citadel.The Precious Citadel is a large round wall built with bricks.The Precious Citadel wall is 7.5 m high, and lower part is thick while the upper part is thin.The round wall's perimeter is over 800 meters, and inside the wall is a large artificial mound, the

11 emperor's tomb mound, known as Precious Top.Dingling is the only Ming Tomb to be excavated.Formal excavation work started in May 1956 and ended in 1958.First, the working personnel discovered an exposed gateway at the side wall to the southwest of the Precious Citadel of Dingling.So they dug the first tunnel facing the position of the gateway.At the bottom of the tunnel, they discovered a tunnel made of bricks.Three months later, along the direction of the tunnel, to the west of the Soul Tower, they dug the second tunnel.During the digging, they encountered with a stone tablet which inscribed the words ' from here 48.8m forward and 10.7m downward lies the precious wall'.Therefore it gave the correct direction of opening up the Underground Palace.According to the direction of the stone tablet, after digging the third tunnel, they found a stone tunnel.At last they got to the precious wall.Thus they opened the precious wall with a square stone room.To the west end of the room, lay two marble doors.The working personnel used a wire and wood plank to remove the ' self-acting' stone bar, which was against the back of the door.With this method, they opened the entrance of the Underground Palace.The palace has no beam which was built according to the

12 principles of geomancy Altogether there are five chambers.The chambers are separated by seven marble doors.The Underground Palace is 27 meters deep, covering an area of 1,195 square meters.There is a same structure stone door in between the front, middle and rear chambers.The door is made of marble.The biggest marble door is 3.3 meters high, 1.7 meters wide, 4 tons in weight.It looks heavy, but it is reasonably designed.The pivot of the stone door is inclined to the door axle, so the door is easy to open and close.On top of the door is a lintel(made of bronze)tube weighing about 10 tons to prevent the door from falling.Carved on the front of the marble door are 9 rows of 81 knobs and strange animals with rings in their mouths.Located on the reverse side, opposite the animals, is a protruding section that holds the door's 'self-acting' stone bar.The front and middle chambers are 7.2 meters high and 6 meters wide.The floor is covered with gold bricks.According to records, the gold bricks are smooth and durable.The more you polish them, the brighter they become.There are no decorations in the front and two annex chambers.In the middle chamber, there are three marble thrones for Emperor Wanli and his two Emprees, known as the precious thrones.In the front

13 of the thrones, there are five yellow glazed offerings and one blue-and-white porcelain jar of Jiajing Year's style with a cloud-and-dragon design.It is about 0.7 meters in diameter.Originally there was sesame oil in the jar.On the surface of the oil was a copper tube with a wick inside.It is called the 'everlasting lamp'.Due to the lack of oxygen, the light went out so the oil had not been used all.The rear chamber is the biggest of the three.It is 9.5 meters high, 31 meters long, 9.l meters wide, the floor is paved with polished stones.In the rear chamber, there is a coffin platform edged with white marble.Placed on the platform are the coffins of Emperor Wanli and his two Emprees as well as 26 vermilion boxes filled with funeral objects.In the middle of the coffin platform, there is a rectangular hole filled with soil called Gold Well.Putting jade stone around the coffin or inside the coffin or in the mouth of the deceased is called being ' buried with jade.' Ancient people believed Gold Well was the pit of geomancy.It could prevent the body from decay for a long time.Being 'buried with jade' on a Gold Well was the highest standard of entombment one could receive in the feudal era.Originally the empre's coffin should have been placed in

14 the rear chamber.Then why were the coffins of the two emprees also in the same chamber as the emperor's? In 1620, first empre Xiaoduan died in April, then in July Emperor Wanli also died.After that, the son of Zhu Changluo died 29 days after his succeion.In only a few months, two emperors and one empre had died in succeion.In addition they had removed Empre Xiaojing's coffin to Dingling.All the burdens of the funeral burials fell on the just enthroned Emperor Zhu Youjian.The preparation work was done in a hurried fashion(this was clearly recorded in historical documents).The rainy season had already arrived before the funeral could occur and the paage leading to the empre' annex chamber may not have been convenient to open.So the coffins of the emperor, emprees all entered the Underground Palace through the front entrance.After the coffins entered the Underground Palace, since the paage to the annex chambers were narrow, the coffins of the emprees would not fit through it.So they had to put all the three coffins together into the rear chamber.Now please follow me out of the underground palace.And our tour for today is completed.I hope you have found our time together informative and enjoyable.We now have half an hour for a rest, and then we will get together here at 4:00pm.Thank

第7篇：北京导游词北京天安门导游词

北京**导游词

各位游客们，我们现在来到的是世界上最大的城市中心广场，**广场，面积达到了44万平方米，而且北京在世界上的地理位置就是以广场的经纬度（东经：116°23′17″，北纬：39°54′27″）来确定的。它坐落在____(省、市、区、县)中心，一直注视着北京自古至今的历史变革。在明代，这里曾叫做承天门广场，出现了T型广场，当然，现在已经没有了。清代的时候才改为现在的**广场。在辛亥革命以后，**广场成了最好的群众运动集结地，著名的五四运动，一二九学生运动等等就是在这里发生的。而在这里最著名的事件，相信大家一定知道，那就是在1949.10.1的开国大典，当时这里聚集了30万人，共同来庆祝新中国的成立。解放以后，将T型广场拆除，建了人民英雄纪念碑，人民大会堂和历史博物馆，革命博物馆等大型建筑。而在76年，毛主席去世后，在原来中华门的位置上建立起了毛主席纪念堂，从而形成了广场今天的建筑格局。而在国庆50周年的时候，**广场经历了一系列的整修，使广场更加美丽壮观整洁。各位一定很向往我所描述的**广场，没有关系，在接下来的游览过程，我将向大家一一介绍。明代永乐年间，这里叫做承天门，只是一个木牌坊，取“承天启运，受命于天”之意。可是明代的时候被烧毁了，后来修建了面阔九间，进深五间的城楼，真正体现了帝王的九五之尊。但是明朝末年，又被毁了。而在清顺治年间，重修城楼以后，改名为**，将另外的三个皇城门儿都改名为带安字的，将故宫三大殿都改名为带和字的，体现了内和外安的美好愿望。这就是我们现在所看的城楼，它由城基、城台、城楼三个部分组成。基座是汉白玉须弥座，这是我国古代最高等级的基座，高1.59米。城台高14.6米。而城楼重檐歇山顶，这也是当时殿宇屋顶的最高等级。整座建筑高33.7米，在70年重修后，升高了一米。

这座建筑等级非常高的城楼，它的作用也同样非常重要。明清时候，凡是遇到国家大典，都要在城楼上举行“金凤颁诏”的仪式，（就是颁诏时，在城楼正中堞口设宣诏台。宣诏后，用黄丝线机上一只木雕金凤，金凤口中衔着诏书顺墙而下，礼部官员用朵云盘接住，然后放入龙亭，颂到礼部，随后颁布天下。）而且每当皇帝出宫祭祀的时候，这里是必经之路。对于新中国最重要的时刻也是这里产生的，毛主席就是在**城楼上庄严宣告新中国成立，并且亲自生气了新中国第一面五星红旗。在城楼上挂的毛主席画像，在每年国庆之前都要更换一次。

在**城楼前面的这一条河，被称为金水河。那这里为什么被称为金水河呢？因为这条河是从北京的西北方向被引过来的，而在阴阳五行中，西属金，北属水，所以这条河命名为金水河，而河上的7座汉白玉桥，就是金水桥。其中最旁边的这两座桥叫做公生桥，分别对应着太庙和社稷坛，也就是现在的劳动人民文化宫和中山公园。而中间的这座是御路桥，是皇帝皇后专用的，它旁边的两座是皇族桥，供宗室王公行走，在旁边的两座是品级桥，只有三品以上的官员才可以通过。

在金水桥前面，左右各有一个石狮子。左边的是雄师，右边的是雌狮。我们是如何分出雌雄的呢？因为雄师脚踩的是绣球，而雌狮则是幼狮。现在为了保护文物，这对狮子已经被围栏保护起来了。在**前后各有一对华表，其实华表的原名叫做诽谤木，是皇帝为了表示自己能够采纳意见和接受意见而设立的，逐渐演变成了今天的华表。它的顶端的异兽叫做吼，北华表上的叫做望君出，意思是为了让皇帝出宫体察民情，而南端的 则叫望君归，意思是皇帝不要留恋宫外的花花世界，应该及时回宫处理政务。现在请大家向后转，在我们身后，就是**广场。在明清时候，这里是成T字型的，中间是南北走向的御路，在御路两

侧，建有千步廊，两边都有廊房110间，到了长安街南侧，在随着红墙向东西两侧延伸，有廊房34间，所以千步廊共有228间廊房。而在御路的最南端明代时是大明门，清朝则改为大清门；东西两侧的门分别是长安左门和长安右门，也分别称为龙门和虎门，因为在科考之后，黄榜在长安左门公布，考中的进士要从这里进入皇城，所以称之为龙门，而虎门的来由则是每年霜降以后，朝廷都要对犯人进行审查，而审定的犯人则被带出长安右门，等于落入虎口，所以称为虎门。而订立这些，都是与五行有关。在我国古代，有文东武西之说，所以在千步廊东西两侧就是五府六部的所在地。在广场东侧，现在的历史博物馆一带，基本上都是中央文职机关，而西侧，也就是人民大会堂一带，则是五军都督府和特务机构锦衣卫。为了方便这些官员进入皇城，所以就在龙门虎门外各建了一道南北走向的大门，东公生门和西公生门。

现在我们已经看不到那时候的痕迹了，取而代之的是更有历史意义和政治特色的现代化建筑。

在广场西侧，是人民大会堂。它于____年10月动工，历时一年，在59年国庆节前就完工了，占地面积17.18万平方米。整座建筑像一个“山”字，中央最高处是46.5米，是整个**广场中的最高建筑。大会堂分为三个部分：中央是万人大礼堂，总面积达36000平方米，有席坐一万个，礼堂顶部有巨大的红五角星，放出70到光芒，整个穹顶的装饰布局不仅很壮丽，而且还象征着万民一心，团结在党中央周围；北部是宴会厅，总面积7000多平方米是我国最大的宴会厅；南部则是人大办公楼，这里包括全国37各省市自治区直辖市特区格局特色的会议厅，例如重庆厅，香港厅等等。

在广场东北部是中国革命博物馆，61年7月1日正式对外开放，主要展品是五四以来的革命资料，而周恩来同志纪念馆爷在博物馆中，展品内容极为丰富。广场东南部是中国历史博物馆，它的前身是北京历史博物馆，在26年改为国立历史博物馆，过了4年，改为中央研究院北平历史博物馆，而在34年4月，这里又改为中央博物馆筹备处、北平历史博物馆。它的展品内容是从奴隶制社会夏商周直到清王朝灭亡数千年历史的文物，货币，图画等30多万件，分朝代展出。

正对着**城楼的是人民英雄纪念碑。根据49年9月中国人民政治协商会议第一届全体会议的决议，在**广场修建了人民英雄纪念碑，向全国征集了240多幅设计方案，选出了3个方案，最后决定以梁思成的设计方案为主，在综合其他三个方案，融为一体。也就是我们今天所看到的纪念碑。52.8.1正式兴建，在58.4建成，5.1隆重揭幕。重达百吨的碑芯巨石是由青岛运来北京的，经过一系列的加工雕琢后，成品高14.7米，宽2.9米，厚1米，重60吨，碑身有413块花岗岩组成。而石碑基座是由17000多块花岗岩和汉白玉组成，面积为3000多平方米。纪念碑的正面向着**，刻有镏金板镶嵌，毛主席亲笔书写的“人民英雄永垂不朽”，背面则是由毛主席起草，周总理书写的158字的碑文（三年以来，在人民解放战争和人民革命中牺牲的人民英雄们永垂不朽 三十年以来，在人民解放战争和人民革命中牺牲的人民英雄们永垂不朽，由此上溯到一千八百四十年，从那时起为了反对内外敌人，争取民族独立和人民自由幸福，在历次斗争中牺牲的人民英雄们永垂不朽）。碑座四周共有8幅浮雕，高2米，总长40.68米。从东面起，由历史顺序排列，依次是：虎门销烟，今田起义，武昌运动，五四运动，五卅运动，南昌起义，抗日战争，胜利渡江。在胜利渡江的两旁，还有

两幅装饰性的图案，内容是：支援前线和欢迎人民解放军。全部浮雕共有180个人物。

在人民英雄纪念碑南边，就是毛主席纪念堂。纪念堂在1976.11.24动工兴建，仅用了六个月，就全部建成。于毛主席去世一周年时正式开放。在纪念堂北门前有东西两组泥塑，都以革命史诗为内容。主体建筑南门则是以继承毛主席遗志、各族人民显示出无比信心为内容的。南门外的30面红旗，代表了我国三十各省市自治区。纪念堂的台基四周是用来自大渡河畔的枣红色花岗岩砌起，基石周围砌进了来自珠穆朗玛峰的石头和浇灌了台湾海峡的水。整个纪念堂主体建筑由三个部分组成：一进入碑大厅，迎面有三米高的毛主席塑像，这里市举行纪念活动的地方；从北大厅南侧的金丝楠木大门进去，就是瞻仰厅，毛主席的遗体就安放在这里；瞻仰厅的南侧是南大厅，毛主席的《满江红》诗词镌刻于这里。三个大厅的东西两侧，有休息厅和老革命家纪念室，现在信增了邓小平和陈云同志的纪念室。

在毛主席纪念堂后面，就是内城的正门——正阳门。在过去，正阳门就是全国最高的建筑，取意：圣主当阳、日至中天，万国瞻仰的意思。现在这里是北京所剩的唯一保存完整的城楼和箭楼。

在明清时代，西城和南城市民来往的交通枢纽是棋盘街，现在位置大概在毛主席纪念堂和正阳门城楼之间的广场上。

其实**广场还有一个非常著名的景观，那就是升旗和降旗仪式，每天都会有数以万计的人来观看仪式。我国国旗图案的设计者是曾联松，第一面国旗制作者是国营永茂实业公司的宋树信，这面特大的国旗长5米多，宽3米多，在开

国大典上，毛主席亲手升起了这面象征新中国诞生的国旗。**广场原来的旗杆基座是封闭的，升降旗不方便，而且设备已经陈旧，所以在1991.2.25改建新基座，同时改建旗杆。新基座平面为三层，第一层是汉白玉制成，四周都有出入通道，第二层是红褐色花岗岩，象征人民江山万代红，第三层是绿化带，象征社会主义祖国欣欣向荣，另外，四周是56个金黄色铜制的隔离墩，象征着56个民族手拉手、心连心团结在国旗下。新的旗杆是首钢制造的无缝钢管制成，分4节，重7吨，高32.6米，20年不会锈蚀。在每旬的第一天或者国家重要庆典，都要举行节日升降旗仪式，其他日子也要举行平时升降旗仪式。每天升旗的时间以日出为准，降旗则是以日落为准，要奏国歌，节日的时候是军乐队现场演奏，而平时则是放录音。如果各位有兴趣，也可以在方便的情况下来观看这一重要景观。

在金水桥前面，左右各有一个石狮子。左边的是雄师，右边的是雌狮。我们是如何分出雌雄的呢？因为雄师脚踩的是绣球，而雌狮则是幼狮。现在为了保护文物，这对狮子已经被围栏保护起来了。在**前后各有一对华表，其实华表的原名叫做诽谤木，是皇帝为了表示自己能够采纳意见和接受意见而设立的，逐渐演变成了今天的华表。它的顶端的异兽叫做吼，北华表上的叫做望君出，意思是为了让皇帝出宫体察民情，而南端的 则叫望君归，意思是皇帝不要留恋宫外的花花世界，应该及时回宫处理政务。

现在请大家向后转，在我们身后，就是**广场。在明清时候，这里是成t字型的，中间是南北走向的御路，在御路两侧，建有千步廊，两边都有廊房110间，到了长安街南侧，在随着红墙向东西两侧延伸，有廊房34间，所以千步廊共有228间廊房。而在御路的最南端明代时是大明门，清朝则改为大清门；东西两侧的门分别是长安左门和长安右门，也分别称为龙门和虎门，因为在科考之后，黄榜在长安左门公布，考中的进士要从这里进入皇城，所以称之为龙门，而虎门的来由则是每年霜降以后，朝廷都要对犯人进行审查，而审定的犯人则被带出长安右门，等于落入虎口，所以称为虎门。而订立这些，都是与五行有关。

在我国古代，有文东武西之说，所以在千步廊东西两侧就是五府六部的所在地。在广场东侧，现在的历史博物馆一带，基本上都是中央文职机关，而西侧，也就是人民大会堂一带，则是五军都督府和特务机构锦衣卫。为了方便这些官员进入皇城，所以就在龙门虎门外各建了一道南北走向的大门，东公生门和西公生门。

现在我们已经看不到那时候的痕迹了，取而代之的是更有历史意义和政治特色的现代化建筑。

在广场西侧，是人民大会堂。它于1958年10月动工，历时一年，在59年国庆节前就完工了，占地面积17.18万平方米。整座建筑像一个“山”字，中央最高处是46.5米，是整个**广场中的最高建筑。大会堂分为三个部分：中央是万人大礼堂，总面积达36000平方米，有席坐一万个，礼堂顶部有巨大的红五角星，放出70到光芒，整个穹顶的装饰布局不仅很壮丽，而且还象征着万民一心，团结在党中央周围；北部是宴会厅，总面积7000多平方米是我国最大的宴会厅；南部则是人大办公楼，这里包括全国37各省市自治区直辖市特区格局特色的会议厅，例如重庆厅，香港厅等等。
