旅游景点英文介绍内乡县衙旅游词第一篇：旅游景点英文介绍内乡县衙旅游词Introduction to the Neixiang Ancient County Government OfficeThe Neixiang Ancient County Government Office is the most intact one at present among the ancient government offices in feudal China.It was built in the 8th year of Dade in the Yuan Dynasty(1304).The existing buildings were built in the 20th year of Guangxu in the Qing Dynasty(1894).Since the opening to the world in 1984, it has attracted many visitors from home and abroad with its special history, science, art value and charm.And it wins the honor in the saying:“The head of the dragon is in Beijing and the tail in Neixiang.”The State Council proclaimed it to be a national specially-protected important relic in Nov.1996.The screen Wall is the first building of the office complex;it is composed of blue brick sculptures.The strange kylin-like beast at the center of the Screen Wall is a legendary greedy animal.It could eat many treasures.In the picture, it does not seem to be satisfied with treasures under its feet and around it, and still opens its mouth to swallow the sun.As a result of punishment, it falls down a cliff and broke to pieces.The Screen Wall was made to warn the officials against bribery and breaking the law by Zhu Yuanzhang, the first Emperor of the Ming Dynasty.Facing the wall, there is an honorific arch called “Xuanhua Archway”.On the lunar 1st and 15th day of every month, the country magistrate propagated the imperial words and taught the countrymen here.The gate has three rooms with a passway in the middle.A drum for voicing grievances stands in the east room.This gate is the first gate for doorkeeper toannounce the night watch and guard the comers and goers.Entering the gate, we can see the Yinbin House, the Yashen Hall and Sanban Yard on the east;on the west are the board house and prison built in the Qing Dynasty, which is only one remaining in China.The Ceremony Gate, the second gate, stands in the middle of the 100-meter passway from the gate to the hall.The middle door was only opened on the first day when new officials assumed their office or the higher officials came.People would come and go through the small door on the east side, the“living gate”.The west one, called the “death gate”, was for the criminals sentenced to death.Through the Ceremony Gate, the grand building before us is the governmental hall.And Li, Hu, Li houses are on the east side of the west side.These six houses are administrative offices at that time.The county magistrate’s office stands in the east of the hall, Zhubu’s in the west.The county magistrate issued orders, held some important ceremonies and heard cases in this hall.The doorkeeper’s room stands behind the hall.In fact, He was the only person between the government and the common people.Whatever the common people have problems with law, they firstly asked the doorkeeper for help.Some doorkeepers often asked for money for their service, so the doorkeeper means the short way to success.There is a screen door behind the doorkeeper’s room from which we can enter the second hall.The second hall is also the Qinzhi Hall.It says that Qin Zijian often played the strings, but he governed Shanfu County well with ease.Some local officials named the second hall as Qinzhi hall in order to match their own talents and abilities with those of Qin Zijian.Here is the Fuzi Yard, a place for the head’s private advisers.They helped to govern the county and kept a close and equal relationship with the head.Peopleincluding the head called them Laofuzi respectfully.So their office was called Fuzi Yard.The third hall is the office for the head, and secret affairs also took place here.The hall has two side yards.The left one is the Donghuating Yard, and the right one is the Xinhuating Yard.They were the living places for the head and his families.The garden behind the hall was for the head to have fun or escape from some boring affairs.All horizontal inscribed boards and post-couplets of the buildings are famous with their conciseness and deep meaning.The most famous one is “no honor for being an official, no disgrace for losing the position;don’t say an official useless, the local depends on him;food from the common, clothes by the common, don't think the common can be che ated, you are also a common”.It was written by Gao Yiyong, thehead of the county, in the 19th year of the Emperor Kangxi.As a local official, the writer regarded himself as an equal to the common and took the common as the parents of food and clothing.Once Jiang Zemin noticed the couplets in a report from the Nan Yang city and asked the General Office of the Central Committee to trace their origin.In the new century, the Neixiang Ancient Official Residence has won great fame outside Henan Province.Together with the Imperial Palace in Beijing, the Governor Bureau of Zhili in Baoding, and Huozhou bureau in Shanxi Province, the international route of the Four Ancient Government Offices of China will be introduced to the world.We believe that the world will know Neixiang County better.第二篇：西安旅游景点英文介绍西安旅游景点英文介绍大雁塔 Great Wild Goose Pagoda小雁塔 Small Wild Goose

Terra-cotta Warriors and Horses Museum Emperor Qin Shihuang(259-210B.C.)had Ying as his surname and Zheng as his given name.He name to the throne of the Qin at age 13, and took the helm of the state at age of 22.By 221 B.C., he had annexed the six rival principalities of Qi, Chu, Yan, Han, Zhao and Wei, and established the first feudal empire in China's history.In the year 221 B.C., when he unified the whole country, Ying Zheng styled himself emperor.He named himself Shihuang Di, the first emperor in the hope that his later generations be the second, the third even the one hundredth and thousandth emperors in proper order to carry on the hereditary system.Since then, the supreme feudal rulers of China's dynasties had continued to call themselves Huang Di, the emperor.After he had annexed the other six states, Emperor Qin Shihuang abolished the enfeoffment system and adopted the prefecture and county system.He standardized legalcodes, written language, track, currencies, weights and measures.To protect against harassment by the Hun aristocrats.Emperor Qin Shihuang ordered the Great Wall be built.All these measures played an active role in eliminating the cause of the state of separation and division and strengthening the unification of the whole country as well as promotion the development of economy and culture.They had a great and deep influence upon China's 2,000 year old feudal society.Emperor Qin Shihuang ordered the books of various schools burned except those of the Qin dynasty's history and culture, divination and medicines in an attempt to push his feudal autocracy in the ideological field.As a result, China's ancient classics had been devastated and destroy.Moreover, he once ordered 460 scholars be buried alive.Those events were later called in history “the burnin g of books and the burying of Confucian scholars.”Emperor Qin Shihuang, for his own pleasure, conscribed several hundred thousand convicts and went in for large-scale construction and had over seven hundred palaces built in the Guanzhong Plain.These palaces stretched several hundred li and he sought pleasure from one palace to the other.Often nobody knew where he ranging treasures inside the tomb, were enclosed alive.Emperor Qin Shihuang's Mausoleum has not yet been excavated.What looks like inside could only be known when it is opened.However, the three pits of the terra-cotta warrior excavated outside the east gate of the outer enclosure of the necropolis can make one imagine how magnificent and luxurious the structure of Emperor Qin Shihuang's Mausoleum was.No.1 Pit was stumbled upon in March 1974 when villagers of Xiyang Village of Yanzhai township, Lintong County, sank a well 1.5km east of the mausoleum.In 1976, No.2 and 3 Pits were found 20mnorth of No.1 Pit respectively after the drilling survey.The terra-cotta warriors and horses are arrayed according to the Qin dynasty battle formation, symbolizing the troops keeping vigil beside the mausoleum.This discovery aroused much interest both at home and abroad.In 1975, a museum, housing the site of No.1 and covering an area of 16,300 square meters was built with the permission of the State Council.The museum was formally opened to public on Oct.1, the National Day, 1979.No.1 Pit is 230 meters long from east to west, 62m wide from north to south and 5m deep, covering a total area of 14,260 square meters.It is an earth-and-wood structure in the shape of a tunnel.There are five sloping entrances on the eastern and western sides of the pit respectively.The pit is divided into eleven corridors by ten earthen partition walls, and the floors are paved with bricks.Thick rafters were placed onto the walls(but now one can only see their remains), which were covered with mats and then fine soil and earth.The battle formation of the Qin dynasty, facing east.In the east end are arrayed three lines of terra-cotta warriors, 70 pieces in each, totaling 210 pieces.They are supposed to be the van of the formation.Immediately behind them are 38 columns of infantrymen alternating with war chariots in the corridors, each being 180m long.They are probably the main body of the formation.There is one line of warriors in the left, right and west ends respectively, facing outwards.They are probably the flanks and the rear.There are altogether 27 trial trench, it is assumed that more than 6,000 clay warriors and horses could be unearthed from No.1 Pit.No.2 Pit sis about half the size of No.1 Pit, covering about 6,000 square meters Trail diggings show this is a composite formation of infantry, cavalry and chariot soldiers, from which roughly over 1,000 clay warriors, and 500 chariotsand saddled horses could be unearthed.The 2,000-year-old wooden chariots are already rotten.But their shafts, cross yokes, and wheels, etc.left clear impressions on the earth bed.The copper parts of the chariots still remain.Each chariot is pulled by four horses which are one and half meters high and two metres long.According to textual research, these clay horses were sculptures after the breed in the area of Hexi Corridor.The horses for the cavalrymen were already saddled, but with no stirrups.No.3 Pit covers an area of 520m2 with only four horses, one chariot and 68 warriors, supposed to be the command post of the battle formation.Now, No.2 and 3 Pits have been refilled, but visitors can see some clay figures and weapons displayed in the exhibition halls in the museum that had been unearthed from these two pits.The floors of both No.1 and 2 Pits were covered with a layer of silt of 15 to 20cm thick.In these pits, one can see traces of burnt beams everywhere, some relics which were mostly broken.Analysis shows that the pits were burned down by Xiang Yu, leader of a peasant army.All of the clay warriors in the three pits held real weapons in their hands and face east, showing Emperor Qin Shihuang's strong determination of wiping out the six states and unifying the whole country.The height of the terra-cotta warriors varies from 1.78m, the shortest, to 1.97m, the tallest.They look healthy and strong and have different facial expressions.Probably they were sculpted by craftsmen according to real soldiers of the Qin dynasty.They organically combined the skills of round engraving, bas-relief and linear engraving, and utilized the six traditional folk crafts of sculpturing, such as hand-moulding, sticking, cutting, painting and so on.The clay models were then put in kilns, baked and colour-painted.As the terra-cotta figures have been burnt and have gone through the naturalprocess of decay, we can't see their original gorgeous colours.However, most of the terra-cotta figures bear the trace of the original colours, and few of them are still as bright as new.They are found to be painted by mineral dyestuffs of vermilion, bright red, pink dark green, powder green, purple, blue, orange, black and white colours.Thousands of real weapons were unearthed from these terra-cotta army pits, including broad knives, swords, spears, dagger-axes, halberds, bows, crossbows and arrowheads.These weapons were exquisitely made.Some of themes are still very sharp;analyses show that they are made of alloys of copper and tin, containing more than ten kinds of other metals.Since their surfaces were treated with chromium, they are as bright as new, though buried underground for more than 2,000 years.This indicates that Qin dynasty's metallurgical technology and weapon-manufacturing technique already reached quite a high level.In December 1980, two teams of large painted bronze chariots and horses were unearthed 20 metres west of the mound of Emperor Qin Shihuang's Mausoleum.These single shaft four-horse chariots each comprises 3,462 spare parts, and has a body with two compartments, one behind the other, and an elliptical umbrella like canopy.The four horses harnessed to the chariot are 65-67 centimeters tall.The restored bronze chariots and horses are exact imitations of true chariot, horse and driver in half life-size.The chariots and horses are decorated with coloured drawings against white background.They have been fitted with more than 1,500 pieces of gold and silvers and decorations, looking luxurious, splendid and graceful.Probably they were meant for the use of Emperor Qin Shihuang's soul to go on inspection.The bronze chariots and horses were made by lost wax casting, which shows a high level of technology.Forinstance, the tortoise-shell-like canopy is about 4mm thick, and the window is only 1mm thick on which are many small holes for ventilation.According to a preliminary study, the technology of manufacturing the bronze chariots and horses has involved casting, welding, reveting, inlaying embedding and chiseling.The excavation of the bronze chariots and horses provides extremely valuable material and data for the textual research of the metallurgical technique, the mechanism of the chariot and technological modeling of the Qin dynasty.No.2 bronze chariot and horses now on display were found broken into 1,555 pieces when excavated.After two-and-half years' careful and painstaking restoration by archaeologists and various specialists, they were formally exhibited in the museum on October 1, 1983.No.1 bronze chariot hand horses are on display from 1988.大雁塔英文导游词As the symbol of the old-line Xian, Big Wild Goose Pagoda is a well-preserved ancient building and a holy place for Buddhists.It is located in the southern suburb of Xian City, about 4 kilometers(2.49 miles)from the downtown of the city.Standing in the Da Ci'en Temple complex, it attracts numerous visitors for its fame in the Buddhist religion, its simple but appealing style of construction, and its new square in front of the temple.It is rated as a National Key Cultural Relic Preserve as well as an AAAA Tourist Attraction.This attraction can be divided into three parts: the Big Wild Goose Pagoda, the Da Ci'en Temple, and the North Square of Big Wild Goose Pagoda.Big Wild Goose Pagoda Originally built in 652 during the reign of Emperor Gaozong of the Tang Dynasty(618-907), it functioned to collect Buddhist materials that were taken from India by the hierarch Xuanzang.Xuanzang started off from Chang'an(the ancient Xian),along the Silk Road and through deserts, finally arriving in India, the cradle of Buddhism.Enduring 17 years and traversing 100 countries, he obtained Buddha figures, 657 kinds of sutras, and several Buddha relics.Having gotten the permission of Emperor Gaozong(628-683), Xuanzang, as the first abbot of Da Ci'en Temple, supervised the building of a pagoda inside it.With the support of royalty, he asked 50 hierarchs into the temple to translate Sanskrit in sutras into Chinese, totaling 1,335 volumes, which heralded a new era in the history of translation.Based on the journey to India, he also wrote a book entitled 'Pilgrimage to the West' in the Tang Dynasty, to which scholars attached great importance.First built to a height of 60 meters(197 feet)with five stories, it is now 64.5 meters(211.6 feet)high with an additional two stories.It was said that after that addition came the saying-'Saving a life exceeds building a seven-storied pagoda'.Externally it looks like a square cone, simple but grand and it is a masterpiece of Buddhist construction.Built of brick, its structure is very firm.Inside the pagoda, stairs twist up so that visitors can climb and overlook the panorama of Xian City from the arch-shaped doors on four sides of each storey.On the walls are engraved fine statues of Buddha by the renowned artist Yan Liben of the Tang Dynasty.Steles by noted calligraphers also grace the pagoda.As for the reason why it is called Big Wild Goose Pagoda, there is a legend.According to ancient stories of Buddhists, there were two branches, for one of which eating meat was not a taboo.One day, they couldn't find meat to buy.Upon seeing a group of big wild geese flying by, a monk said to himself: 'Today we have no meat.I hope the merciful Bodhisattva will give us some.' At that very moment, the leading wild goose broke its wings and fell to the ground.All the monks were startled andbelieved that Bodhisattva showed his spirit to order them to be more pious.They established a pagoda where the wild goose fell and stopped eating meat.Hence it got the name 'Big Wild Goose Pagoda'.Da Ci'en T empleDa Ci'en Temple is the home of Big Wild Goose Pagoda.In 648, to commemorate the dead virtuous queen, royalty ordered the building of a temple named 'Ci'en'(Mercy and Kindness), for which the status and scale far exceeded all others.Today, with an area of 32,314 square meters(38,648.5 square yards), one seventh of the original area, it still retains its grandeur.Before the temple, there stands a statue of hierarch Xuanzang, the meritorious hierarch.Walking on and across a small bridge, visitors will see the gates of the temple.With guarding lions, the temple seems stately for lions were said to function as talismans.Entering the temple you will see two buildings-Bell Tower in the east and Drum Tower in the west.Inside the Bell Tower hangs an iron bell 15 tons(14.76 gross tons)in weight.It was molded in 1548 in the Ming Dynasty(1368-1644).Along the central axis are arranged the Hall of Mahavira, Sermon Hall, Big Wild Goose Pagoda, and the Hall of Xuanzang Sanzang.In the Hall of Mahavira are three carved statues of Sakyamuni, and 18 arhats as well as Xuanzang.The Sermon Hall is where Buddhist disciples would listen to a sermon.A bronze statue of Amitabha is dedicated and a Buddha statue is collected by Xuanzang as oblation.The Hall of Xuanzang Sanzang is north of Big Wild Goose Pagoda.In this hall are Xuanzang's relic and a bronze statue of a seated Xuanzang.The inner wall is chiseled with murals depicting this hierarch's story.Renowned as the contemporary Dunhuang Buddhist storehouse praised by UNESCO, it is the biggest memorial of Xuanzang.North Square of Big Wild Goose PagodaSurrounding Big Wild Goose Pagoda, the scenery is also quite charming, especially the square north of the Da Ci'en Temple.Covering about 110,000 square meters(131563 square yards)plus 20,000 square meters(23920.6 square yards)of water
