Fromyour smiling faces, I know that you may have sweet dreams last night, right? Ok,I have some news even exciti ng, that is, today we’re going to visit the LongmenGrottoes, which you have been expecting for a long time.So now let me give you a general introduction first. Around 13 km south ofLuoyang, there are two picturesque hills confronting each other with the YiRiver flowing northward between them, connected by an arched stone bridgeresembling a natural gate tower. This is the right place named Longmen, wherethe well-known Longmen Grottoes is located.The grottoes, which earn the fame of one of the Three Treasure Houses ofStone Sculpture in China, were created over 1500 years age. The Longmen Grottoeswas first known in theyear 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. Please get off the bus. Here is the QianxiTemple. It was built in the early Tang Dynasty around 640 AD. It has altogether7 Buddhist statues inside, of which, Buddha Amitabha is sitting in the centralwith 2 of his favorite disciples, 2 Bodhisattvas, and 2 Heavenly Kings.Please come with me. Now we are in front of the Bin yang Caves. The Binyang Caves consist 3 large caves, the North, the Middle and the South caves. TheMid and the South Bin yang Caves were built under Emperor Xuanwu for practicingthe merits and virtues for his diseased parents, late Emperor Xiaowen and lateEmpress Dowager(遗孀) Wenzhao in 500 AD. While the North Bin yang cave was addedfor the late Emperor Xuanwu by a eunuch(太监) in the palace named Liu Tang in508AD.In the West Hill of Longmen, there are several “the most” caves to feastyour eyes. Just now, we visited the Ten-thousand Buddha Cave with 15000 Buddhistimages, which has the most Buddha images, and the Lotus Cave with 2cm-highBuddha images, which are the tiniest Buddha images.And now, we’ve come to another “most”, the Fengxian Temple. So whathighlights can we see here? I’ll show you. One day in 655AD, Empress Dowager WuZetian cried in the palace. Emperor Gaozong asked her why she was so unhappy.She said:“Do you think I am beautiful?” the Emperor answered: “Of course, youare the most beautiful lady under heaven!” the Empress said: “but sooner oflater I would be ugly. Beauty cannot last long.” The Emperor Gaozong at oncemade the best artist in the palace paint a beautiful portrait of Empress Wu. Butshe still cried, she said: “the portrait is beautiful, but after hundreds ofyears, it will rot and disappear.” The Emperor Gaozong suddenly saw the light.He issued an edict(法令) that a stone statue must be carved at once. Hearing thisedict, Empress Wu was so pleased that she donated 20000 strings(串) of cash coinsfor her cosmetics(化妆品) and also attended the consecration(献祭仪式) of the chiefBuddha when the construction was thoroughly completed in order to shorten thetime of the project. So the main Buddha Losana was carved according to EmpressWu’s appearance.That is the legend. Now we see, the Buddha Losana is 17.14m high with itshead 4m, each ear 1.9m, and flanked by 2 symmetrical disciples, Bodhisattvas,Heavenly Kings, and Great Men of Strength on both sides. The chief Buddha givesyou an impression of dignified manner, magnificent looking, wise, farsighted andkind nature. Looking around the overall arrangement, we would rather say thatthe Fengxian T emple is a scene of a grand imperial court than a spot ofBuddhism. Generally speaking, the Fengxian Temple is the most magnificent andartistic among all the shrines of the Tang Dynasty and as well as an example ofsuccess in integrating politics with Buddhism in ancient China.Ok everyone, now you can take photos here. Or you can ask questions thatyou don’t understand. After 15 minutes we will gather right here. See youthen.英文龙门石窟导游词篇5Welcome to Longmen Grottoes.They are located in the south of LuoyangCity.They are between Mount Xiang and Mount Longmen and face Yi River.LongmenGrottoes，Yungang Caves and Mogao Caves are regarded as the three most famoustreasure houses of stone inscriptions in China.The grottoes were started aroundthe year 494 when Emperor Xiaowen of the Northern Wei Dynasty (386-534 A.D.)moved the capital to Luoyang.Work on them continued for another 400 years untilthe Northern Song Dynasty (960-1127 A.D.).The first caves of Longmen wereexcavated in 494，the 12th year of the Northern Wei Dynasty Xiaowen Emperor'sreign.The grottoes extend for some 1,000 meters (about 1,094 yards) from northto south.They contain over 2,300 holes and niches，2,800 steles，40 stupas，1,300caves and 97,000 sculptured figures that have survived the test of time.Most ofthese works date from the Northern Wei Dynasty and the flourishing age of theTang Dynasty (618-907 A.D.).Lots of historical materials concerning art, music,religion, calligraphy, medicine, costume and architecture are stored in theLongmen Grottoes.Fengxian TempleFengxian Temple was built in the Tang Dynasty and it is the largest grottoin Longmen Grottoes with a width of 36 meters (about 118 feet) and a length of41 meters (about 136 feet).There are nine major figures of various facialappearances and temperaments in the temple that were built in accordance withBuddhist rites by the artists.The most impressive figure is the statue ofVairocana Buddha sitting cross-legged on the eight-square lotus throne.It is17.14 metres (about 56 feet) high;the head alone is four meters (about 1 3 feet)high，and the ears arenearly 2 meters (about 6 feet) long.Vairocana meansilluminating all things in the sutra.The Buddha has a well-filled figure，asacred and kindly expression and an elegant smile.According to the record on theepigraph，the Empress Wu Zetian together with her subjects took part in theceremony of Introducing the Light (a Buddhist blessing that the Buddha opens thespiritual light of himself and shares it with others).At the sides of Vairocanathere are two statues of Vairocana Buddha’s disciples，Kasyapa and Ananda，wearingprudent and devout expressions.
