云南丽江，一个历史悠久，风景如画的小城，丽江古城的所在地。
我们乘车从机场来到了丽江新城，在一个旅馆里住下了，那天，我们没有去古城，只是站在窗边远远地眺望着那一幢幢的小房子。它们在夜幕下显得那么安静，不发出一丁点的声音;它们又是那么古朴，依稀看得见历史的足迹;它们还那么迷人，白墙黑瓦的古老小屋，远远望去，在高楼大厦之间显得那么得低矮，从窗户的玻璃后透出了油灯若明若暗的亮光，没过多少时间，灯渐渐熄了。
第二天，当东方露出了鱼肚白，晨曦的微光照耀着还没被唤醒的丽江古城，被稀薄的淡雾笼罩着的一切还是那么得宁静，只是偶尔有几阵微风吹得青草“哗哗”响，吹得小溪“丁冬”地流，吹得树叶“唰唰”地摇。一会儿工夫，太阳蹿上了高高的山头，古城也热闹起来了，家家户户都打开了“吱吱嘎嘎”响的木门，游客们也涌进了迷宫似的丽江古城。我也随着人群，随着一条潺潺流动的小溪，进入了古城。

In nanjing, if did not go to sun yat-sen's mausoleum, say that you see only the half of nanjing. Although nanjing, long known as "the six dynasties ancient capital", has "jinling 40 landscape" and so on numerous scenic spots and historical sites, but sun yat-sen's mausoleum is undoubtedly one of the most attractive, one of the most famous.
Speak of sun yat-sen's mausoleum, of course, to mention its owner - the great democratic revolutionary forerunner sun yat-sen in China. Mr. Sun name sun yat-sen,. Foreign friends all call him "Dr. Sun yat-sen". Because he is engaged in revolutionary activities in Japan when used pseudonym "zhongshan firewood", so he is regarded as sun yat-sen in China. Sun yat-sen was born on November 12, 1866 in xiangshan county (now zhongshan city) in guangdong province tsui a peasant family. He flew high and rare successively studied in Honolulu, Hong Kong and other places, to practice medicine in places such as guangzhou, Macao after graduation. He later medical politics, and in Japan in 1905, the organization to China union, had been pushing for the prime minister, put forward the "drive out by lu, to restore the, the establishment of the republic of China, the average land ownership" famous platform, and "nation, civil rights, the people's livelihood" theory of the three people's principles. On October 10, 1911 years after the outbreak of the wuchang uprising, Mr. Sun was seventeen provinces representatives elected the provisional President of the republic of China, and the following year New Year's day was sworn into office in nanjing. Since then, has experienced the "yuan shikai mean" "second revolution" "nation sports" such as "the movement to protect the" ups and downs, in guangzhou in 1921, he became very President of the republic of China. A Chinese nationalist party (KMT) in guangzhou in January 1924 the first national congress, he will develop the old three people's principles for the new three people's principles, put forward the "which was allied with Russia the peasants" of the three policy. In November the same year he came at the invitation of the feng yuxiang north discuss national plans, eventually because became ill because of overwork, died in Beijing on March 12, 1925.
Sun yat-sen's mausoleum burial site is Mr. Sun was selected. This vision, meteorological ambitious, indeed is a good place to build mausoleum. You may ask; Mr. Sun was born in guangdong, died in Beijing, all his life to travel around for the revolution, why choose nanjing as a final resting place?
It is said that as early as in 1912 as temporary President Mr. Sun, soul valley temple abbot monk is has been recommended to him the "would in the former, with green ailian" feng shui treasure. That year on March 31, Mr Zhongshan for the peaceful reunification, resolutely resigned from the presidency. One day in early April, his hunting around with hu and others to the Ming tomb, came to rest now tomb is located. Mr. Sun looked around and said to the left and right sides, after the death of my future want to the land to bury the national obtained (national begging for me after I died someday, to be a pile of soil in place for body). The purple mountain, of course, the momentum of feng shui is not Mr. Sun as the root cause of this decision. Mr Sun last asked: "after my death, can be buried in nanjing zijin foothills, for nanjing interim government was established, so don't forget the xinhai revolution." So, although Mr Sun in nanjing residence time is not long, but nanjing is has special significance for Mr. Sun. He chose nanjing purple mountain as a burial site, fundamentally speaking, is to commemorate the revolution, the revolution colleagues.
To respect Mr Sun's wishes, made up of people of lady soong ching ling, sun fo field at Chinese Taiwan, Dr. Sun yat-sen was buried things choose good ling addresses, delimit to repair the tomb of 20xx mu, and publicizing award, solicitation mausoleum design scheme.

As the house in Paris a person with wonderful avenue for pride, people are proud to fifth avenue in New York, nanjing people about their city is the most beautiful boulevard. And this article 3 kilometers of lingyuan road which is the best representative of the nanjing avenue undoubtedly. On both sides of the "green corridor", the main trees planted with nanjing - ng. People called it the French phoenix tree, but back up, it is our "special local product of China.

Built alleys and using all of these large fujian granite, but the Chinese traditional timber structure form. Everybody looked up and can see fang forehead midline glittering "fraternity" two words. This two word is the script of Mr. Sun, original from tang han yu's "the way" "love to benevolence" a word. It is said that Mr. Sun's favorite topic this two word away. Mr. Sun life dedicated to the bourgeois democratic revolution in the spirit of great love, strive for national independence and freedom, to say "love" the word is highly generalization and the best portrayal of his life.

In the past, my hometown was just a small village. The roads are full ofmud and potholes. My hometown is full of bungalows in my mind. There are only afew bungalows that I can see, and most of them are tile roofed houses. When it'swindy and rainy, if it's serious, the house will collapse, or even water willenter. The road in front of the house is cold and clear. There are no factories,no shops, let alone street lamps. A street is closed. In those days, owning abicycle has become people's goal. The clothes people wore at that time were allpatched. There used to be a saying: new three years, old three years, sewing andmending for another three years. Even shoes are made by their own dexteroushands, including straw shoes, cloth shoes
In the wave of reform and opening up, Shiyan has become a small city.Prosperous and prosperous, beautiful and lovely. In the past, the low and shabbyold houses have long been replaced by new and unique high-rise buildings. Theold muddy road has disappeared. Wide expressways crisscross in all directions.On the smooth and wide asphalt road, vehicles shuttle and flow. On both sides ofthe road, people come and go. The former tile roofed house has now become aluxury residence. When you look around, you can see rows of brand-new high-risebuildings. The children's paradise is full of joy, and the colorful fountain isdecorated like a fairyland. As long as you walk into a family at will, there areall kinds of household appliances, such as TV, refrigerator, air conditioner andtelephone. Many families also have mobile phones and private cars. Many familiesalso buy computers to browse, query information and engage in cultural andentertainment activities, which brings great convenience and endless fun topeople's life.

拙政园在江苏苏州市娄门内。是苏州四大古名园之一。初为唐代诗人陆龟蒙的住宅，元时为大宏寺。明正德年同御史王献臣辞职回乡，买下寺产，改建成宅园，并借用晋代潘岳《嗣居赋》中：“……，此亦拙者之力政也”的语意，取“拙政”二字为园名。1860～1863年曾为太平天国忠王府的一部分。1954年对外开放。
拙政园又分东园、中园、西园三部分。
东园山池相间，点缀有秫香馆、兰雪堂等建筑。西部水面迂回，布局紧凑，依山傍水建以亭阁，其中主体建筑鸳鸯厅是当时园主人宴请宾客和听曲的场所，厅内陈设考究。晴天由室内透过蓝色玻璃窗观看室外景色犹如一片雪景。园中“与谁同坐轩”乃为扇亭，扇面两侧实墙上开着两个扇形空窗，一个对着“鸳鸯厅”，而后面面山的那一窗中又正好映 入山上的笠亭，而笠亭的顶盖又恰好配成一个完整的扇子。“与谁同坐，明月、清风、我”，所以一见匾额，就会想起苏东坡，并立时感到这里可赏水中之月，可受清风之爽。
中园是拙政园的精华部分，其总体布局以水池为中心，亭台楼榭皆临水而建，有的亭榭则直出水中，具有江南水乡的特色。主体建筑远香堂位于水池南岸，隔池与主景东西两山岛相望，池水清澈广阔，遍植荷花，山岛上林荫匝地，水岸藤萝纷披，两山溪谷 间架有小桥，山岛上各建一亭，西为雪香云蔚亭，东为待霜亭，四季景色因时而异。远香堂之西的“倚玉轩”与其西面船舫形的“香洲”遥遥相对，两者与其北面的“荷风四面亭”成三足鼎立之势，都可随势赏荷。倚玉轩之西有一曲水湾深入南部居宅，这里有三间水阁“小沧浪”，它以北面的廊桥“小飞虹”分隔空间，构成一个幽静的水院，而香洲即位于这一水湾口之两侧。拙政园中园的布局以荷花池为中心，远香堂为其主体建筑，池中两岛为其主景，其他建筑大都临水并面 向远香堂，从建筑物名称来看， 也大都与荷花有关。王献臣之所以要如此大力宣扬荷花，主要是为了表达他孤高不群的清高品格。此园以水为主，水面的占五分之三，建筑群多临水，保持了明代清逸古朴的造园风格，是我国江南园林的代表作品。1997年12月4日列入"世界遗产名录"。

Into the door before, I want to ask a question: "how long is the Great Wall?" Tell you, the Great Wall has more than thirteen thousand in the whole!

Dear friends
Hello, everyone. On behalf of Jingshan travel agency, I welcome you all. Myname is Yu Ping. You can call me Xiao Yu. I'm glad to serve you. If you have anyquestions, please feel free to raise them. As long as they are reasonable andpossible, I will try my best to solve them for you. Next, I'll take you toXiangshan scenic spot. I hope my explanation can satisfy you. I also wish youhave a good time there!
Today's tour route is arranged as follows: first, we mainly visit Longquanpark. Starting from the gate of Longquan Park, we go directly to the bonsaigarden. Then we go to the beautiful civilized lake to see the cultural relicsthere. Finally, we go up to Laolaizi villa, the founder of Taoist school.
Longquan park is a new comprehensive park with a planning area of 78hectares. It was built in 1986 and opened in early 1987. It is a newcomprehensive park with historical and cultural connotation as the backgroundand rich cultural landscape as a whole. In 1999, it ranked among the "100 famousgardens in China". We are now walking on the main road of the park. The locationof the park is the amusement park. There are more than 30 kinds of gamefacilities in the amusement park, which can meet the needs of tourists ofdifferent ages. In front of us on the left, you can see a Wenfeng tower, builtin the first year of Tongzhi in the Qing Dynasty. The whole tower has fivefloors and eight sides, with cornices on each floor and niches on each other.The stone carving on the tower wall is unique. After seeing Wenfeng tower, wecame to the bonsai garden. The whole basin garden covers an area of 1 hectare,which is the garden of Longquan park. Now let's take a look in the garden. Thecypress tree in front of us, which is more than 20 meters high, was transplantedfrom Jingshan mountain in the spring of 1999 in Longquan Park in order torestore the Tang'an ancient cypress landscape.
If Xiangshan scenic spot is a bright pearl embedded in Jingmen City, thenWenming lake is an emerald in Longquan park. Wenming lake is as clear as amirror, rippling green waves, 50 meters wide from east to west, 200 meters longfrom north to south, and 3 meters deep. It was built by Shu Chenglong, thegovernor of Jingmen Prefecture, during the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty.The low-lying land excavated by stone quarrying along the mountain was renovatedand diked. It has a history of more than 250 years. The water of civilized lakeis warm in winter and cool in summer. Every morning in winter, the lake is foggyand never frozen.
The bridge we see now is the Qinghe bridge, where the story of Yang Youji,a famous general of the state of Chu, duels with Yin, an order of the state ofChu. In 605 B.C., when Yang Youji served as the commander of the Guard Academyof King Zhuang of Chu, the state of Chu ordered Yin doujiao to revolt. Then KingZhuang of Chu sent Yang Youji to duel with him by arrow. The place was at theQinghe bridge. Yang Youji's arrow technique was very powerful. With one arrow,he shot doujiao in the throat and easily pacified the rebellion. We Jingmenlocal opera and this
The traditional play is called "Qinghe bridge comparing arrows"
Next, please follow me to visit the four springs of dragon, Mongolia, Huiand Shun in the north corner of civilized lake.
This is Huiquan. Huiquan is warmer in winter, because it benefits thepeople, so it is called Huiquan. Longquan was named Longquan by Shu Chenglong,the governor of Jingmen, during the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty.
Mengquan is the first spring in Xiangshan, because it nestles at the footof Mengshan, so it gets its name. You can see that the place where the waterflows is the spring eye. The flow of Mengquan is the largest and the clearest ofthe four springs. It is warm in winter and cool in summer. In addition todragon, Mengquan and Hui, there is a Shunquan in the courtyard of the watersupply company.
As the saying goes: "if the mountain is not high, there will be immortals;if the water is not deep, there will be dragons." Although Laolaizi villa is notbig, it is famous. It is a famous philosopher and founder of Taoist school inthe spring and Autumn period. Lao laizi lived in seclusion in the manor where hecultivated and respected his parents. It has a history of more than 2500 years.Laolaizi villa, where we are now, was rebuilt in 1933, covering an area of 2500square meters.
Laolaizi is one of the "twenty four filial piety" in Chinese folklore. Itis said that when he lived in seclusion in Mengshan, King Hui of Chu came toJingmen to invite him out of the mountain to serve the increasingly powerfulstate of Chu because he valued his knowledge and noble character. However,because Laolaizi was tired of competing for power in the world, he refused thehigh official position of the king of Chu and lived in seclusion with his wifeand children.
The twenty four filial piety wax museum here shows us the story oftwenty-four filial sons known to women and children in Chinese history in arealistic way. These filial sons, from the emperor to the people, show thetraditional virtue of respecting the old and loving the young of the Chinesepeople in spite of their different status. Please see, this is Lao laizi's waxfigure. Lao laizi is 70 years old. In order to win the joy of his aging parents,he deliberately wears children's clothes, plays with some gadgets, and plays infront of his parents, pretending to be innocent. He also deliberately broughtwater to the hall and pretended to fall in front of his parents, which made themlaugh. This is the story of "Lao Lai Banyi, being filial to his parents" whichhas been popular among the people for thousands of years.
All right, friends, give you half an hour of free time. We'll meet here atfour o'clock.
Good time always makes people feel short, our tour of Xiangshan is over sosoon. Thank you very much for your support and cooperation in my work. If I haveanything wrong, please criticize and correct me. I hope to meet you again in thefuture. Finally, I wish you all good health and all the best. bye.

Now, the car came to the foot of the mountain of the jinggang mountains, let us into the arms of it!!!!!!!!!
Ladies and Gentlemen:
Welcome to the temple of Heaven. (After self-introduction) preserved cultural heritages of China. There are basically two kinds of visitors who come here: local pensioners who do exercises here in the morning and evening and sightseers both from home and abroad. All in all ,there are 12 million visitors very year. Now we are going to go along the route that leads to the alter. It will take roughly one hour. Mind you ,the emperor also walked along this route to pay tribute to the God of Heaven.
(Along the Southern Sacred Road leading to the Circular Mound Altar)
The largest group of architectures ever to be dedicated to Heaven ,the Temple of Heaven served as an exclusive altar for Chinese monarchs during the Ming and Qing dynasties. It was decreed that rulers of successive dynasties would place altars in their own capitals to worship Heaven and pray for good harvest. But why ?
The ancient Chinese believed that Heaven was the supreme ruler of the universe and the fate of mankind ,and thus worshiping rites dedicated to Heaven came into being.
The Heaven the ancient Chinese referred to was actually the Universe, or nature. In those days, there were specfic rites of worship. This was especially true during the Ming and Qing dynasties when elaborate ceremonies were held.
The Temple of Heaven was built in 1420 during the reign of Emperor Youngle of the Ming Dynasty. Situated in the southern part of the city ,this grand set of structures covers an area of 273 hectares. To better symbolize heaven and earth ,the northern part of the Temple is circular while the southern part is square .The whole compound is enclosed by two walls, a square wall outside a round one. The outer area is characterized by suburban scenery, while the inner part is used for sacrifices. The inner enclosure consists of the Hall of Prayer for Good Harvest and the Circular Mound Altar.
(Along the Imperial Passage leading from the Southern Lattice Star Gate in front of the Circular Mound Altar)
the Circular Mound Altar is enclosed by two walls ,each containing four groups of Souther
n Lattice Star Gate, each in turn consisting of three doors, with 24 marble doors altogether. Standing on the passage facing north, you will notice that with each pair of doors on is narrower than the other. This reflects the feudal hierarchy: the wider door was reserved for monarchs, while the narrower one was used by courtiers.
On the day of the ceremony ,the emperor would don his ritual costume and be ushered in by the official in charge of religious affairs. He ascended the three terraces in the forefront to pay tribute at the alter.
(Atop the Circular Mound Alter)
we are now on the top terrace of the Altar, or the third terrace .Each terrace has a flight of 9 steps. At the center of this terrace lies a round stone surrounded by 9 steps. At the center of this terrace lies a round stone surrounded by 9 concentric rings of stone. The number of stones in the first ring is 9, in the second ,18, up to 81 in the 9th ring. Even the number of carved balustrades on these terraces is a multiplee of 9. But why?
According to an cient Chinese philosophy, yin and yang were two opposing factors. Heaven and the odd numbers belonged to yang while the Earth and even numbers belonged to yin. Nine was the largest heavenly number accessible to man . What is more, the ancient people also believed that heaven consisted of nine layers and that the emperor` s abode was on the uppermost tier.
Wulingyuan unique quartz sand were Lin are rare at home and abroad, known as the "mountain three thousand," said. In the 217.2 square kilometers of the core scenic area, there are 3103 quartz sandstone peak, peak particle distribution in 500-1100 meters above sea level, by the dozens of meters to 400 meters high. Hoodoo modelling if a person, if god, if if if if fairy, birds, beasts, and change a lot, the abrupt peak cliff stone, croplands. Every time after a storm comes a calm or wet weather, the valleys of mist between mountainous, sea of clouds when strong light, stone mountain is like concealed, scene fluctuates myriad.
Wulingyuan turn water around the mountain, known as the "xiushui eight hundred," said. Numerous waterfalls, springs, lake, stream, pool, each in its better. Huangshi is a more than 10 kilometers long streams, from zhangjiajie has been able to walk to SuoXiYu along the creek, on both sides of the hoodoo standoff, reflecting creek, speck.
Wulingyuan karst cave number, large scale, extremely rich characteristics. Has proven the size of the karst cave 40, one of the most famous is the huanglong cave, total length of 7.5 kilometers, the hole is divided into four layers, and landscape strange, is the epitome of karst landscape in southeast Asia.
Wulingyuan is rare geological relic landscape. Contained sandstone hoodoo, guide the original, overpasses, shek mun, karst valleys and karst caves, sedimentary structure, stratigraphic section, the fossil record and other colorful geological relics. The various and changeable landscape, package deposit is hardly disturbed the original natural state of ecological environment and ecological system. So from the perspective of scientific evaluation and aesthetic point of view, also zhangjiajie sandstone landform and stone forest landform, danxia landform and compared to the Denver landform, the landscape and characteristic, is one of the world is very special and precious geological relic landscape.
Wulingyuan have abundant plant resources. Within the territory of forest coverage rate reached 74.75%, and holds two primitive forest, for our country important ancient relic biological growth areas. There are more than 3000 kinds of higher plants, the first listed in the national key protection of rare and endangered seed plants such as dovetree 35. In numerous plants, Wu Lingsong's most widely distributed, the largest number, form the most, there are "wulingyuan in three thousand peak, peak 'loose" of reputation.

After investigation, a total of 50 families and 116 domestic terrestrial vertebrates, including the level of protection in the national key protected animals list "three kinds of animals, the secondary has 10 types. Wulingyuan in the animal world, the more is the macaques, according to preliminary observation for more than 300 only. The locals called "giant salamander" salamander, dot the gulley, springs and deep pools.
Wulingyuan has colorful meteorological landscape. Wulingyuan spring, summer, autumn, winter, cloudy and clear, the sunset, prosperous one. Cloud is the wulingyuan meteorological wonders, clouds, sea of clouds, yuntao, cloud and cloud waterfall five kinds of forms. ChuJi after the rain, fog, first the fat oboro then into the white clouds, mist, ups and downs peaks in the boundless sea of clouds, such as which, Joan brainpower-computer floor, in which, the adrenaline, sometimes clouds rise reached a climax, and then to blanket, FeiGun droped, into a cloud organ, spectacular.
, rich tourism resources of zhangjiajie wulingyuan, the development of the tourism industry has created favorable conditions. The CPC central committee and the state council and hunan provincial party committee, the provincial government of wulingyuan, zhangjiajie tourism economic development have high hopes.

ladies and gentlemen:
welcome to the temple of heaven. (after self-introduction) preserved cultural heritages of china. there are basically two kinds of visitors who come here: local pensioners who do exercises here in the morning and evening and sightseers both from home and abroad. all in all ，there are 12 million visitors very year. now we are going to go along the route that leads to the alter. it will take roughly one hour. mind you ，the emperor also walked along this route to pay tribute to the god of heaven.
the largest group of architectures ever to be dedicated to heaven ，the temple of heaven served as an exclusive altar for chinese monarchs during the ming and qing dynasties. it was decreed that rulers of successive dynasties would place altars in their own capitals to worship heaven and pray for good harvest. but why ?
the ancient chinese believed that heaven was the supreme ruler of the universe and the fate of mankind，and thus worshiping rites dedicated to heaven came into being.
the heaven the ancient chinese referred to was actually the universe， or nature. in those days， there were specfic rites of worship. this was especially true during the ming and qing dynasties when elaborate ceremonies were held.
the temple of heaven was built in 1420 during the reign of emperor youngle of the ming dynasty. situated in the southern part of the city ，this grand set of structures covers an area of 273 hectares. to better symbolize heaven and earth ，the northern part of the temple is circular while the southern part is square .the whole compound is enclosed by two walls， a square wall outside a round one. the outer area is characterized by suburban scenery， while the inner part is used for sacrifices. the inner enclosure consists of the hall of prayer for good harvest and the circular mound altar.
the circular mound altar is enclosed by two walls ，each containing four groups of southern lattice star gate， each in turn consisting of three doors， with 24 marble doors altogether. standing on the passage facing north， you will notice that with each pair of doors on is narrower than the other. this reflects the feudal hierarchy: the wider door was reserved for monarchs， while the narrower one was used by courtiers.
on the day of the ceremony ，the emperor would don his ritual costume and be ushered in by the official in charge of religious affairs. he ascended the three terraces in the forefront to pay tribute at the alter.
we are now on the top terrace of the altar， or the third terrace .each terrace has a flight of 9 steps. at the center of this terrace lies a round stone surrounded by 9 steps. at the center of this terrace lies a round stone surrounded by 9 concentric rings of stone. the number of stones in the first ring is 9， in the second ，18， up to 81 in the 9th ring. even the number of carved balustrades on these terraces is a multiplee of 9. but why?
according to ancient chinese philosophy， yin and yang were two opposing factors. heaven and the odd numbers belonged to yang while the earth and even numbers belonged to yin. nine was the largest heavenly number accessible to man . what is more， the ancient people also believed that heaven consisted of nine layers and that the emperor` s abode was on the uppermost tier.
once more look at the round stone in the center. the upper terrace is nine zhang (a chinese unit of length， one zhang equals 3.3 meters ) in circumference ，while the middle is 15 zhang， the lower，21 zhang. classified as yang numbers， the sum of these numerals is 45 zhang which was meant to symbolized success. what is more， by applying the concept of odd numbers and strengthening nine and its multiples， the concept of heaven was thus illustrated and realized . the concept of nine will also be mentioned when we visit some other buildings.
now i will give you a brief account of what happened here annually on the inter solstice. the memorial tablet dedicated to heaven would be set up on the north side of the terrace， while tablets dedicated to the emperor `s ancestors would be enshrined on the flanks. the service would begin around 4 o` clock in the morning. all of the lanterns would be lit .in the foreground， a sacrificial calf is being barbecued. on the square in front of the altar， the emperor， under heavy escort of nearly a thousand courtiers， princes of royal blood ，musicians， dancers and uniformed soldiers， would slowly ascend the altar to offer sacrifice and pray in honor of heaven. when the service drew to a close ，the sacrifice offered in front of the memorial tablets would be incinerated .all of participants would watch the thick smoke rise upward as if they were seeing god off .music and dancing would follow .in the end ，the emperor would return to the forbidden city secure in the belief that he would be blessed and protected by heaven until the next winter solstice.
it is interesting to note that ，the stone in the very middle of the altar was of major importance ，since it was where the emperor used to stand to say his prayer. the stone ，which is known as the god`s heart stone， is peculiar in that it is characterized by a specific acoustic phenomenon: it made the emperor` s voice clearer and louder， thus adding to the mystic atmosphere of the service .you can try this out by yourself. (proceed northward to pass through the lattice stargate)
this structure is known as heaven` s storehouse. it is entered through the gate of glazed tiles. the roofing，beams， and brackets are all made of glazed tiles or bricks. this is the only structure of its kind in china today .
the heaven` s storehouse was where memorial tablets dedicated to the gods were kept. douglas hurd， a former british foreigh secretary ，once said ， “god attends to his affairs on the cir4cular mound altar but stays here. ” now let` s go in to to see it (go through the left side door)
(in the courtyard of heaven` s storehouse)this is the imperial vault of heaven， the main structure of heaven` s storehouse. it was built in 1530 and is 17 meters in height and 19 meters in diameter. the structure feature blue roofs topped by a gilded ball ，and carved wooden doors and windows. it is decorated with colored paintings. founded on a 3-meter-hign round marble terrace ，the building also features a gigantic carved marble ramp laid in the stone staircase leading up to the front entrance.. the ramp is carved in “two dragons playing with a pearl ” design in relief. we will enter the main hall by going up the stone staircase on the eastern side.
the arch of the hall is buttressed by 16 giant pillars on two rings. on top of the pillars there are gilt brackets supporting a circular caisson ，or covered ceiling .the ceiling is characterized by a golden coiling dragon design. the 8 pillar of the inner ring are painted scarlet and decorated with golden lotuses.
to the north of the hall there is a marble pedestal. atop it ，up a wooden flight of 9 steps， is where the major tablet dedicate to heaven was enshrined. on each flank four tablets are enshrined in honor of the ancestors of the qing emperors. in the annex hall in hornor of the ancestors of the qing emperors. in the annex halls in the courtyard， there are tablets dedicated to the deities of the sun， moon ，constellation， cloud ，rain， wind and thunder.
aside from exquisitely laid out architectures， heaven` s storehouse is also famous for two structures with peculiar acoustic features， i. e. the echo wall and the triple- sound stone. a mere whisper at any point close to the wall can be heard clearly on the other side， although the parties may be 40 or 50 meters apart. this is possible because the wall is round and hermetically constructed with smooth ，solid bricks.
in front of the steps leading away from the halls is the triple sound stone. if you stand on the first stone and call out or clap your hands， the sound will echo once; on the second stone， the sound will be heard twice; and on the third stone， the sound will repeat three times. hence the name. (go out through the right door and stroll along the circular path nor thward)
the temple of heaven is also famous for its cypress trees-there are more than 60，000 cypress trees in all，among which over 4，000 are more than one hundred years old ，adding to the solemn atmosphere of the temple .this tall cypress was planted more than 500 years ago. its thick branches and twisting trunk resembling nine coiling playful dragons; thus it is known as the nine-dragon cypress. it is said that this tree was here to welcome the monarchs. now it is here to welcome visitor from all over the world.
Now we are back again on the central axis. this brick-arched gate is known as chengzhen (adopting fidelity) .this gate is the northern gate of the circular mound altar and the hall of prayer for good harvest. the hall of prayer for good harvest is situated at the extreme end of the axis. it was used by the emperor in the first month of every lunar year for services dedicated to good harvest.
entering the hall of prayer for good harvest， we set foot on a raised passage 360 meters long， which the emperor also took to proceed to the hall. this broad north-south walkway， called danbiqiao (red stairway bridge)， connects the two sets of main building in the temple of heaven and constitutes a single axis.
the passage is divided into left， control and right paths by the cross arrangement of slabs. the central and the widest path is known as heavenly thoroughfare ， which was reserved exclusively for god; nobody， including the emperor， was allowed to set foot onto it . the emperor used the path on the east，which is known as the imperial walk. the ministers and princes used the one on the west .interesting enough ，there is no walkway left for ordinary people. this is because the temple of heaven used to be off-limits to them.
contrary to appearances， this walkway is not a bridge at all . but how so ? this road is 4 meters above the ground and there is a cavern underneath that was reserved for sacrificial oxen and sheep. the cattle were slaughtered at a slaughterhouse about 500 meters away and brought here for sacrifice. all in all ，it can be said this walkway did serve as bridge and can be looked upon as the first cloverleaf in beijing.
looking back at the thoroughfare， you may realize that this walk is gaining height toward its northern end. as people approach the architectural group of the hall of prayer for good harvest， the flanking groves of cypress recede and perspective widens. here you are in heaven.
the marble terrace up ahead is called jufutai， or costumechanging terrace. it is located to the east of the red stairway bridge and covers a space of 25 square meters .it has marble slab balustrades. the day before the service ，officials in charge would put up a yellow satin tent on the terrace for the emperor to change out of his yellow dragon robe into blue ceremonial clothes. after the service，the emperor would return to the tentand change back into his imperial robe before returning to the palace. (proceed to the south gate of the hall of prayer for good harvest)
this structure is called the gate of pray for good harvest. we can catch a slight glimpse of the central building ，the hall of prayer for good harvest， though the colonnade of the gate. a gigantic and lofty group of buildings， the complex includes the gate of prayer for good harvest， the hall of prayer for good harvest， eastern and western annex halls ，the huanqian (imperial heaven) long corridor， heaven kitchen， slaughterhouse， etc.
the annex halls were symmetrically built on a 1.5-meter-hignbrick-and-marble terrace ，to set off the loftiness and magnificence of the main hall .this unique building ，38 meters in height， is characterized by a cone-shaped structure with triple eaves and a top that is crowned by a gilt ball. the roofing is made of blue glazed tiles， the color of the sky .underneath the roof， the beams and bracket are decorated with colored paintings. the base of the structure is a triple-tiered， circular marble terrace. at a distance， the terrace looks like a gigantic， spiraling cloud with the structure perched on top of it .
today the hall of prayer for good harvest is the hallmark of beijing， which enjoys a prolonged history of civilization.
the base of the hall is a triple-tiered， circular marble terrace， which is 90 meters in diameter and 6 meters in height ，covering a space of 4，000 square meters. meticulous accuracy was given to the layout of the structure. in the middle of each three-tiered flight of stairs， there is a giant marble ramp carved in cloud， dragon and phoenix designs. to set off the ramps， the top of the balustrades and downpipes are designed with corresponding floral scrolls. in southern part of each tier， a gigantic bronze incense burner is placed. sandalwood was burnt in them when rites were observed.
(in front of the hall of prayer for good harvest) climbing up this marble terrace， we see the main hall，a masterpiece of ancient china. looking up you will see the caisson， or covered ceiling， characterized by complex designs of dragons and phoenixes. in and out ， the hall is decorated with colored drawing of dragons and phoenixes.
without the use of steel ，cement and nail， and even without the use of big beams and crossbeams，the entire structure is supported by 28 massive wooden pillars and number of bars， laths， joints and rafters. the four central pillars， called the dragon-well pillars， are 19.2 meters high and painted with designs of composite followers， representing the four season. there are two rings of 12 scarlet pillars each. the inner ring represents the 12 months and the outer rings the 12 divisions of the day and night .between the two rings there are 24 partitioned spaces to mark the solar terms of the chinese lunar year. the pillars， 28 in number， also represent the 28 constellations in the universe- the ancient chinese believed that there were 28 constellations that made up the sky.
the center of the stone-paved floor is a round marble slab， which is 88.5 centimeters in diameter. interestingly， the slab features natural black and white veins， corresponding to the dragon-phoenix design on the ceiling. this particular slab is known as the dragon-phoenix stone and is regarded as a treasure inseparable from the hall.
the furnishings within the hall are placed in their original positions dating back to when emperor xianfeng ruled .in the forefront and above the throne are enshrined tablets in commemoration of heaven. on either table on each side tablets of the emperor` s ancestors were placed. each tablet is fronted by an altar. a total of 24 kinds of offering were made on it ，including soup， wine， assorted cereals， and a calf.
the sacrificial rites were observed in the wee hours of the morning， sometime in the first month of the chinese lunar year. because it was still dark， candles， lanterns and torches were lit. this lighting coupled with the incense being burnt inside the hall ，helped make the ceremony both grand and mystical.
by the time the service began，207 musicians and dancers would be performing on platforms outside the hall. the emperor， in his blue sacrificial robe and with an air of piety and sincerity， would walk slowly into the hall， kowtow， and offer wine and prayer in hornor of the deities and his ancestors. all of the offerings would then be taken to incinerators on the eastern side of the gate of prayer for good harvest. with this we conclude our visit to the temper of heaven. the feudal monarchs and their sacrificial rites have long vanished in history .however， this group of magnificent and lofty structures remain as a fine testament of the ancient chinese` s ingenuity and as one of the cultural heritages of mankind.
from the eastern gate of the hall of prayer for good harvest， we have now enter a 300-meter-long corridor. consisting of 72 sections， this corridor served as a connecting building between the slaughterhouse. heaven kitchen， and the main hall ，it is said that this once served as a sacrificial food production line. flanking the corridor are shopping stalls. you may find some souvenirs for your family and friend there.
well ，that is all for this tour. thank you for your attention. i look forward to your next visit. good luck and bon voyage.
