西安钟楼的英语导游词1 Today we will visit the city wall, the bell tower and the drum tower. Its my pleasure to serve you.The ancient castle we now see is the Ming xi an city wall, which was built on the foundation of the imperial city of tangan in the early Ming dynasty. It is one of the most famous cities in the late middle ages of China, and it is the largest and most complete defense facility of ancient military castles in the world.Xi an, as the ancient capital of the millennium, has built the wall many times in the past. Most of them are buried by the dust of history. The walls we see nowgo back to the sui dynasty. In 1369, the Ming dynasty moved xu da from shanxi to shaanxi, and changed the original fengtian road to xi an, meaning “western lasting peace and stability”. It was the prelude to the construction of the wall in xi an. The eight - year - old wall shape is a rectangle. The wall is 15 meters high, 12 to 14 meters wide, 16 to 18 meters wide and 13.9 kilometers in circumference. The bottom layer is mixed with lime and glutinous rice juice. After drying, it is exceptionally strong.The ancient city wall of xi an includes a series of military installations including moat, suspension bridge, gate building, archery building, zhenglou, tower, enemy building, parapet and crenel. Well, now lets feel the scientific, rigorous and complete military defense system in person.The periphery of the wall is the moat, also known as the moat, which is the first line of defense of the wall. It can block an enemys attack, or even take advantage of the terrain to destroy the enemy. The moat around the city wall of xi an is 20 meters wide, and the gate is crossed over the moat, and the only accessto the moat and the gate is the drawbridge. At ordinary times, the soldiers in the city of the city listened to the commander of the morning bell, lowered the drawbridge in the morning and opened the city gates. Hoist the bridge at night and cut off traffic. Once a war has occurred, the drawbridge rises, the gates are closed, and the gates become fortified and enclosed fighting fortresses.The city gate is the focal point of the city defense system, also is the weak spot. At ordinary times, it is a passageway to and from the city. In war, it is also the primary goal of defending the two sides. Therefore, the Ming dynasty attached great importance to improving the city gate defense facilities. One of the most notable technological breakthroughs is the use of the arch gate to prevent enemy fire. Ming xian city gate is very solid, door leaf with 16 cm thick boards, a fan gate 2.8 cubic meters with wood, door leaf horizontal turn up and down the iron bar reinforcement, the interval of each two bars, 180 iron needle mushrooms nails. There are 1,800 iron mushroom needles on the door. This compels the wood of the door, increasing therigidity of the door, so that the arrow cant be shot in.In order to improve the insurance coefficient of the city gate defense, the gate is actually made up of three parts, namely, gate building, archway and main building. The gate tower is the most outside, its function is the lift suspension bridge. Its used to make more. The enemy entered the gate of the gate, as if entering the urn, and would be attacked from all sides, so this space downstairs is also called “wengcheng”. The archery is in the middle, with Windows on both sides, for archery. The wall between the archery and the archery is also called “weng city”, which can be tunneled. The building is the main building of the city gate, which is the main building of the city. On the outside of the wall, there is an enemy stand outside the main body, commonly known as the “horse face”, every 120 meters. There are 98 horses on the whole wall, the building on the horses face is called the enemy building, and the two towers are 120 meters apart, and the other side is 60 meters, which is “a stones throw away”. This layout makes it easy to shoot the enemyfrom the side. Therefore, the ancients commented, “there is a city without a platform, and without a city, it is a city, so the guard is there, and so is the city.”On the outside of the wall there are short pheasants, also known as “battlements”, with crenel and square holes for archery and lookout. The inside wall, called the parapet, is designed to prevent soldiers from falling into the wall while they walk. At the four corners of xi an city, there is a tower called the “turret”. In the city of weng, which is formed in the archery and the building, there is a horse road leading to the head, which is convenient for the horse and the horse. During the war, this is the key point for the mobilization of troops, and must be kept clear. So the guards are extremely strict.As the years change, now we can see changle of xi an city wall gate, AnDingMen, rosefinch door, including door, jade auspicious door light, etc., the origin of these names from one side also reflects the ancient city of ups and downs failure. The city wall of Ming xian shows the wisdom and wisdom of the ancient working people in China. Well, the city wall of xi anis here, and we will continue to take you to the bell tower.Bell tower and drum tower are the unique buildings of ancient Chinese cities.

Now the clock is in xi an stele forest. It is said that, although the style of the tower has not changed since it was moved to the present site, the jingyun bell is not going to sound. There is no alternative but to change. In order to move the jingyun clock to the new clock tower, an inclined bridge was built on the west side of the west street, and the jingyun clock was transported to the bell tower using the ramp. It is said that the “bridge” also got its name.On the west wall of the clock tower, there are “bell tower song” and “bell tower” inscription. “Zhong Lou ge” is the shaanxi governor who built the bell tower in the same year.

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 and believed 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 TempleDa 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.
