英文游范文篇导词 1

　　 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.
