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 theperiod was also called Yin Shang. After the Yin had been overthrown, the citydeclined and the remains of it was later called the Yin Ruins. Since thefounding of new China, the Yin Ruins had been listed as the first group ofcultural relics under national protection. In order to preserve its culture, thegovernment built “Garden of the Yin Ruins” on the site. Today the garden isdivided into several sections with ancient objects on display. Because of itsgreat value in not only the historical relics of Chinese culture but also thehuman civilization of the whole world, Yin Xu topped the 100 GreatestArcheological Discoveries of China in the last century and it was listed in theWorld Cultural and Natural Heritage List of United Nations Educational,Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO). Yin Xu is revealing its beauty tothe world.
OK, everybody. Soon we’ll get to the Museum on Yin Ruins, the best museumfor the study of the Yin Shang Culture. The Yin Ruins is famous for threethings,i.e.the oracle inscriptions, the bronze wares and the ancient capital ofthe Shang Dynasty. As you know, China is one of the earliest countries todiscover characters. As early as 4,000 years ago, people used bones or tortoiseshells to record events of their social life. It is the earliest written form oflanguage in the world. Today we call them the oracle bone inscriptions, whichwere first discovered in the Yin Ruins. Well,let’s come to the main hall wherethe oracle inscriptions are exhibited. The oracle bone inscriptions were firstdiscovered during the years of Emperor GuangXu, in the Qing Dynasty. In 1899, inXiao Tun Village of Anyang City, Henan Province, villagers found many tortoiseshells and bones carved with letters and symbols, which unveiled to the worldfrom Yin Xu, an ancient city with a long history and splendid culture.Then morethan 16,000 pieces of bones and shells were found. But in the Shang Dynasty,they were used as divinations, when people were very superstitious. Theinscriptions cover a wide range of fields, such as sacrifice, wars, stateaffairs, weather, hunting, etc. Today, they provide important information forthe study of the Shang Dynasty. And the study of the oracle bone inscriptionshas 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 ofhuman beings, the Oracles. Apart from the oracle bone inscriptions, bronze waresare another important part of the cultural relics discovered from the Ruins,which show that the technology of bronze casting reached its peak in the ShangDynasty. The bronze wares include vessels, weapons,chariots and so on. Among allthe unearthed wares, SimuwuQuadripod unearthed in the mausoleum area of the YinRuins, 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 ofthe great hall is an enlarged copy of the original one for the convenience oftouring and appreciation, with the original one cherished in the Museum ofChinese History. With its unusual air of majesty, together with its elegance inappearance and intricately carved in patterns, it is considered a treasure inthe bronze culture of China as well as a glorious pearl shining on the peak ofthe 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 theadvanced slavery system of the Shang Dynasty and the unusual power of creationof 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 mostimportant archeology discoveries in the temple. It is also the only discoveredand well-reserved tomb of Shang royal members since the science excavation ofYin Ruins. Now, let’s know something about the first woman general in Chinesehistory.FuHao was Emperor Wu Ding’s wife,both intelligent and courageous. Shehad bravely led the Yin army fighting in many wars and made great contributionsto the protecting of the country. After her death, Wu Ding built a large tombnear the palace to honor her merits. Buried together with her were many slavesand war prisoners as well assacrificial objects. The large numbers ofsacrificial objects are valuable cultural relics in the treasure house ofChinese art.

This is said to be handwrittenby Emperor Kangxi of the Qing Dynasty. This work is very precious because theemperor rarely wrote. Ok please follow me. Just now, we have visited the FrontGate Hall, steles, ginkgos, and the Hall of the Heavenly Kings, and now, we arejust in the principal hall in the temple, the Hall of Mahavira. This hall isenshrined with three main Buddhas in the central part. They are Sakyamuni Buddhasitting in the middle and Pharmacist Buddha of the Eastern Glazed World andAmitabha Buddha from the Western Paradise sitting on both sides. Along the gablewalls, sit 18 Buddhist Arhats, who were enlightened Buddhist monks. On bothsides in front of the Hall of Mahavira, stand the Bell Tower and the Drum Towersymmetrically. 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 Toweris the stele called “the Stele of Li Shimin” telling the story about how themonks from the Shaolin Temple rescued Prince Li Shimin from being pursued andattacked by Wang Shichong during the late Sui Dynasty. Li Shimin, who laterbecame the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty wrote the inscriptions on the stelepersonally,and left with a signature of Shi min on the stele. Ok please comewith me, we are going to the next hall. So now, the pavilion in front of us, notlike the Zangjingge and the Abbot’s rooms we visited just now, enjoys a movingstory. It’s named Dharma’s Pavilion or Lixue Pavilion, that is “Standing in thesnow” in English. It says: After Boddhi Dharma came to China, many ChineseBuddhist believers wanted to be his followers, and Shengguang was the mostprominent of all of them. He
always followed him whenever and wherever he went and served Dharma withheart 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. Themaster set forward a prerequisite: he would not meet his demand unless it wouldsnow in red flakes. Suddenly Shengguang drew out the sword and cut off his leftarm and stained the snowy ground. Bodhidharma was so moved that he passed hismantle, alms bowl and musical instruments on to Shengguang and gave him aBuddhist 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’salso the largest structure of the Shaolin Temple. This is just the highlight ofthe sightseeing zone. So until now, the visit in the Shaolin Temple is almostover. I think you may have some questions about the temple, or you want to takesome photos. So, please do remember, you have half an hour. After half an hourwe will gather in our bus, and make sure you’ll be there on time. And then weare going to the Pagoda Forest. Thank you for your attention!
The longmen grottoes Around 13 km south of Luoyang, there are twopicturesque hills confronting each other with the Yi River flowing northwardbetween them, connected by an arched stone bridge resembling a natural gatetower. This is the right place named Longmen, where the well-known LongmenGrottoes is located. The grottoes, which earns the fame of one of the ThreeTreasure Houses of Stone Sculpture in China, was created over 1500 years age. Itwas first known in the year 493 AD, when Emperor Xiaowen moved his capital toLuoyang from Datong, Shannxi Province, which marked the initiation ofdevelopment and expanse of Buddhism in Central China. It prolongs for 1000meters from north to south. According to the statistics conducted in recentyears, there are 2300 caves and niches with over 100000 Buddhist figures. Inaddition, more than 2800 tablet inscriptions and some 40 Buddhist pagodas werepreserved 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 7Buddhist statues inside, of which, AmitabhaBuddha is sitting in the central partwith 2 of his favorite disciples, 2 Bodhisattvas, and 2 Heavenly Kings. Pleasecome with me. Now we are in front of the Bin yang Caves. The Bin yang Cavesconsist of 3 large caves, the North, the Middle and the South caves. The Mid andthe South caves were built under Emperor Xuanwu for practicing the merits andvirtues for his diseased parents, late Emperor Xiaowen and late EmpressDowagerWenzhao. While the North Bin yang cave was added for the late EmperorXuanwu by a eunuch in the palace. In the Western Hill of Longmen, there areseveral “the most” caves to feast your eyes. Just now, we visited theTen-thousand Buddha Cave with 15000 Buddhist images, which has the most Buddhaimages, and the Lotus Cave with 2cm-high Buddha images, which are the tiniestBuddha 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 inLongmen Temple with a width of 36 meters and a length of 41 meters. The mostimpressive figure is the statue of Vairocana Buddha sitting cross-legged on theeight-square lotus throne. It is 17.14 meters in total height with the head4meters in height and the ears 1.9 meters in length. At the sides of Vairocanathere are two statues of Vairocana Buddha's disciples, Kasyapa and Ananda,wearing prudent and devout expressions,next are 2 Bodhisattvas, Heavenly Kings,and
Great Men of Strength. Vairocana means illuminating all things in thesutra. The Buddha has a well-filled figure, a sacred and kindly expression andan elegant smile. The chief Buddha gives you an impression of dignified manner,magnificent looking, wise, farsighted and kind nature. The various appearancesand delicate designs are the representations of Empire Tang's powerful materialand spiritual strength as well as the high crystallization of people's wisdoms.Looking around the overall arrangement, we would rather say that the FengxianTemple is a scene of a grand imperial court than a spot of Buddhism. Generallyspeaking, the Fengxian Temple is the most magnificent and artistic among all theshrines of the Tang Dynasty as well as an example of success in integratingpolitics with Buddhism in ancient China. Ok everyone, now you can take photoshere. Or you can ask questions that you don’t understand. After 15 minutes wewill gather right here. See you then.

the Native Place of Emperor Huangdi
The Native Place of Emperor Huangdi is located in the north of XinzhengCity. As a scenic spot of 4A- class assessed by the National Tour Bureau, it isa holly land for Chinese people all over the world to worship their ancestors,with memorial temples, andmausoleums of Emperor Huangdi situated here. Everyyear on March 3 of the lunar calendar, the day when the first emperor in Chinaestablished the first nation in Chinese history, people of Chinese origin fromhome and abroad gather in Xinzheng, the birthplace of XuanyuanHuangdi, or theYellow Emperor, to offer sacrifices and worship this legendary ancestor of theChinese nation. To respect this great Emperor, his descendants have held largeceremonies of worship, which have been attracting descendants of Yanhuang fromAmerica, Japan, Korea, Canada and other nations and areas each year. They comeback to worship, seeking their roots here in China.
Now, Here we are, The Native Place of EmperorHuangdi.This square was builtin the end of 1998.It covers an area of 15,000 square meters,of which 7,900square meters are covered with trees and flowers. It has become a very importantplace for the domestic and overseas Chinese descendants to hold large-scaledactivities to worship their ancestors. In the center of the square here is athree-legged tripod caldron, whichwas cast in the shape of bears, reminding ofthe Emperor Huangdi’s rising from the Youxiong Tribe. The three-sided body ofthe tripod caldron has the embossment of three dragons with a fireball, implyingthe 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 caldronof the world” for its unparalleled size and its special origin. It is 6.99meters in height, 24 tons in weight, which has been registered in the GuinnessWorld Records. The height number of 6.99 made up of figure 6 and 9 implies themajesty of grandness in traditional Chinese culture. Through the Xuanyuan Bridgeabove the JishuiRiver , here we can see the main hall. Please look at the pairof 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,thereused to be many bears in Xinzheng. Bear was a kind of animal,very powerful andfierce then. In order to show people’s worship, the Youxiong Tribe regarded bearas the totem of their own tribe. Well, let’s enter the hall, there’re 8 muralpaintings on the wall,which vividly depict the
great achievements of the Yellow Emperor during his life.They’reThe Birthof the Yellow Emperor,Making Boat and Chariot,Setting up an alliance byEmperorHuangdi and Emperor Yandi, Crusading AgainstChiyou,Making Youxiong theCapital, Holding High the Dragon Flag, Developing Agriculture and Stock Raising,Creation of Chinese Civilization. It’s a long story behind these paintings: Itis recorded that, in the Prehistoric Times, there lived many clans and tribesaround the Yellow River and the Yangtze River, yet Huangdi was the most renownedtribal leader at that time. When the tribe lead by Yandi began to decline,Huangdi's tribe was flourishing. During this period, Chiyou,another triballeader, often lead his stronger tribe to invade other tribes, and invadedYandi's tribe. With the help of Huangdi, they defeated Chiyou.After 52battlesHuangdi united China. All Chinese, despite nationalities, regardedHuangdias our ancestor. Huangdi, the initiator of Chinese civilization, was henceworshipped by his descendants. After the capital was built,EmperorHuangdi raisedhis flag of dragon, symbolizing the unification of all tribes. The dragon wasintegrated 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, dragonhas 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 isthe statue of LuoZu, the first wife of EmperorHuangdi. She was the first personto raise silkworm and weave silk in ancient China and alsoan outstandingrepresentative of ancient Chinese women. Every feudal dynasty set up temple forher and worshipped her as “the first ancestor in silkworm raising”. While in thewest side hall, here is the statue Mother Mo, the fourth wife of EmperorHuangdi, who had invented the earliest “loom”for weaving. Later generationscalled her “mother Mo---the ancestor of weavers”.
The construction of the Yamen here started in 1303 in Yuan Dynasty, and thepresent buildings were built in Qing Dynasty. It was the most well preservedgovernment office of country level in feudal China. Since our opening up to theoutside world in 1984, it has attracted a number of our government officials andvisitors 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 thedragonhead while the dragon’s tail is in Neixiang. It is also one of theimportant cultural relics of state level.
The front part building of the Yamen was called a screen wall, which wasbuilt with blue brick relief sculpture. In the middle of the screen, there is astrange beast, which is called “Tan”. It was said to be a greedy beast thatcould swallow gold and silver treasures in the legend. Here in the picture wecan 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 pictureon the screen was first created by Zhu Yuanzhang, the founder of the MingDynasty. The purpose of the drawing is to warn the government officials not totake bribes and break the law. Here is the main entrance, halfway there isanother gate right in the middle, called Yimen, the second main officialentrance. It used to be open only on the day when new governor took his place orwhen higher official came to visit. On both sides of the second gate, there’retwo small doors, the one on the east was called Life door, while the one on thewest was called Death door, or Ghost door, which was used only by the criminalswhen they were sentenced to death and were going to be killed. Passing throughYimen, you can see a grand building here in front of you . That is the greathall. The great hall was the place where the governor of the county announcedthe government orders, and also some important ceremonies were held here andsome 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 andthe red and green bamboo pieces used for trial could be found. On the front sideof the screen, there’s a picture of seawater, tide and the sun, meaning that anofficial should be as clear as the sun and the moon and as clean as seawater. Inother words, an official should be honest and upright. When the prosecutor andthe defendant were taken to the hall for trial, they must kneel down on thestones. The square stone on the east was for the prosecutor, and the rectanglestone on the west was for the accused. Since most cases
involved more defendants, the stone for them was longer then. The housebehind the great hall was called doorman house. The man who guarded the housewas called Doorman, who was the county governor’s relative or people who wereclose to him. Now we have come to the second hall. It was the place where theCounty Magistrate dealt with small cases. Please look at these famous couplets,which means that before law everyone is equal. So the judges should pass thefairest judgment on people. This is called Fuzi Yard, an ancient form of addressto a Confucian scholar or to a master by his disciples. Fuzi was usually theofficial’s assistant who was usually their close friend of knowledgeable andartistic talent. Everyone, including the county governor respectfully addressedhim 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 dailywork. 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 hisfree life and got away from his government affairs. As we can see now, there’remany succinct couplets with rich intension here. But this one before the thirdhall was the most famous. It was written by GaoYigong , a county governor inNeixiang county. It means that being the local officials, we rearded the commonpeople 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 doubtregarded as famous saying and epigram, and the only one of its kind. So now theYmen in Neixiang, together with the Museum Palace in Beijing, and the other twoin Hebei and Shanxi, has formed a special international tore route of the fourgreat ancient Chinese Yamens. Neixiang is now going out of Henan and into theworld. We warmly welcome all the reiends from all over the world to visitNeixiang, and enjoy the elegant demeanor of the ancient Yamen.
