Shanxi Pingyao Ancient City Guide Words 1

Dear tourists:

Hello everyone! I am the tour guide who will take you to visit Pingyao Ancient City this time - Li Jingcheng. You can call me Xiao Li. In the following time, I will introduce to you the ancient Pingyao Ancient City.

Now we have arrived at the ancient city of Pingyao. The ancient city of Pingyao is a 4A-level scenic spot in my country. It was built from 827 BC to 782 BC and expanded in 1370 AD. It is 2,700 years old. With many years of history, it is one of the four "best preserved" ancient cities in my country. The tall and majestic city wall you see is 6163 meters long and 12 meters high. It was rebuilt in 1370. It is about 2 meters high at the buttresses and 3-5 meters wide at the top. Please follow me and take a closer look inside the ancient city!

The traffic network of Pingyao Ancient City consists of four main streets, eight small streets, and seventy-two winding alleys. Among these four streets, South Street is the central axis of the traffic network of Pingyao Ancient City. It starts from the junction of East and West Streets and ends at the South Gate. It is run through the north and south with ancient market buildings. On both sides of the street, a dazzling array of accessories and delicious food are displayed. The counter of the store is the most prosperous commercial street in Pingyao Ancient City, known as China's "Wall Street". West Street starts from the lower west gate and ends at the intersection of East and South Streets, forming a main street that runs through East Street. West Street is the birth street of Rishengchang, the famous first bank in China, so West Street is also known as the "First Financial Street of the Qing Dynasty". The names of Eight Small Streets and Seventy-Two Alleys have their own origins. Some are named after nearby buildings or eye-catching signs, some are derived from ancestral temples, and some names are no longer known.

There is also an interesting legend about the ancient city of Pingyao. When you look at the ancient city from a bird's eye view, it looks like a turtle, with six gates, the south gate is the head, the two wells outside the gate look like turtle eyes, and the north gate is the tail of the turtle. At the lowest point of the city, there are four urn cities from east to west, facing each other. The upper west gate, lower west gate and upper east gate all open to the south. Only the lower east gate opens to the east. It is said that people put them there to prevent turtles from crawling. Its left leg was straightened and tied to a platform twenty miles away from the city, so the ancient city of Pingyao was also called Turtle City.

Today, I will explain it to you. You can visit the ancient city by yourself. During the visit, please do not litter, do not carve or draw, and visit in a civilized manner. Thank you all! Shanxi Pingyao Ancient City Guide Words 2

Dear tourists, hello everyone!

Pingyao, a famous historical and cultural city in my country, is about to arrive. The towering brick wall in the front right is Pingli City, one of the four relatively complete ancient cities in my country. On December 3, 1997, the UNESCO World Heritage Committee passed a resolution to include the Ancient Town of Lijiang in Yunnan Province, Pingyu Ancient Town in Shanxi Province, and Suzhou Classical Gardens in Jiangsu Province on the World Heritage List. Now everyone can enjoy the distant view and relatively complete appearance of the ancient city.

The ancient city of Pingyao has a long history. According to records: During the Western Zhou Dynasty, Zhou Xuangong sent troops to the north to conquer Sayu and built Jingling City in order to resist the invasion of northern nomads. Jingling City was built on the Jingling lining about 7 kilometers northeast of today's Pingyuan County. The word Jingling has been used as a place name to this day. This can be said to be the beginning of the construction of Pingyao City and the predecessor of the current Hugao City. Since then, it has a history of about 2800 years.

There is no clear record in history when the current Pingshuo City was built. Around the time of Emperor Taiwu of the Northern Wei Dynasty, the original Pingtao County was changed to Hutuo County to avoid naming taboos. And moved the county seat here from elsewhere. The construction time of the city should be after this. In the long and humid history. This place once had its prosperity, but it has also been destroyed by war many times. The city wall we see now was built in 1370, the third year of the Hongwu period in the Ming Dynasty, when the original earthen wall was made taller, thicker and bricked. Although it has been repaired several times since the Ming and Qing Dynasties, the style has not changed.

There are many ancient buildings preserved in Pingyao City, such as the Dacheng Hall of the Confucian Temple, Qingxu Temple, Shilou, Chenglong Temple, and Wu Temple Stage. It's just streets and houses. It also basically preserves the style of the Ming and Qing Dynasties.

Wandering on the streets, you will also see various antique courtyard gates, courtyards, and ancient architectural decorations carved with straw. You can even see the stone piles for receiving horses and the stones for dismounting horses in front of the door, which gives you the style of an ancient city.

Pingke not only has a long history. And there are many celebrities. These are ancient celebrities such as Sun Sheng, a historian of the Jin Dynasty who dared to write straightly despite the threat of "every family copying", Sun Kang, whose "Yingxue Reading" has been passed down through the ages, and Hou Wailu, the late director of the Institute of History of the Chinese Academy of Sciences. The late Hou Yiyi, deputy director of the Language Institute, Wang Yao, the president of the Chinese Literature Research Association, the famous painter Li Gou, the famous singer Lang Lanying, etc. were all born in this ancient land. Pingshi Ancient City deserves to be a famous historical and cultural city.

(Crossing Jiji Bridge)

We are now driving on Huiji Bridge. Huiji Bridge is a nine-arch stone bridge. It was built during the Kangxi period of the Qing Dynasty and rebuilt during the Tongzhi period. . Mr. Boshan, a famous figure in the Qing Dynasty, once wrote an inscription for it. The bridge varies in size. The history is not very long, but the shape is beautiful. The bridge deck is flat and does not have high bulges like ordinary stone bridges, making it easier for carriages and horses to walk. What's more, there is another strange thing: there is another bridge under this bridge. There is no written record of the bridge below, and people didn't know it. In August 1977, a heavy rain caused severe flooding. The rolling floods carried away a lot of river sand that had been silted for many years. After the water receded, people were surprised to find that the Huiji Bridge was stacked on the old bridge, forming a spectacle of a bridge on a bridge. Using the old bridge as a solid foundation for the new bridge not only saves financial resources, manpower, but also time. What a clever idea! This is also a miracle in the history of bridge building.

(Take tourists into the "Lower East Gate")

This is the "Lower East Gate" of Far Fang City. Everyone, look at how majestic and spectacular this 12-meter-high city wall is. Outside the city, there was originally a moat. There is a suspension bridge at the city gate. In the days of ancient wars. This is indeed an insurmountable line of defense.

The place we came in to was the Lower East Gate Urn City, which was set up to protect the city gate. The city gate is the weak link on the city wall, and there is an urn city. This greatly enhanced the city's defense methods. The place here is small and surrounded by high walls. Even if the enemy invades the urn city, only a few people can get in, and they will immediately be surrounded and become the turtle in the urn. Some urn gates are not opened on the opposite side of the city gate, but on the side. It can also prevent the incoming enemy soldiers from rushing to the city gate in a show of force. Destroy the enemy's energy by turning corners. These design ideas were summed up by the ancients through long-term practical experience.

Look, everyone. There is also a well-built and small courtyard in Wengcheng. What is this for? It turns out that this is a small Guandi Temple. Guandi is a martial sage. Building the Guan Temple into Wengcheng was a unique creation of Ping Dao people. Please follow me into the city and visit the city walls. Shanxi Pingyao Ancient City Guide Words 3

Hello everyone, I am the tour guide Xiao Huang. The world-famous ancient city of Pingyao has finally arrived! Pingyao Ancient City is the most complete ancient county town in my country, mainly retaining the architectural features of the ancient city from the Ming and Qing Dynasties. The ancient city was included in the World Cultural Heritage List by UNESCO in 1997. It’s not easy! When we enter the ancient city, it feels like we have arrived in the Ming and Qing Dynasties, and we can appreciate the economy, culture, customs and customs of that time.

Where we are now is the south gate of the ancient city. Everyone, please carefully observe the city wall in front of you! Did you think of it? We are actually at the head of a big turtle! This turtle is not a turtle with a shrunken head, but a giant turtle! This city is known as "Turtle City" among the people in Pingyao. It is said that this is because the square city wall is shaped like a turtle: six gates, one each in the north and south, and two in the east and west. The south gate is the turtle's head, the north gate is the turtle's tail, and the four east and west gates are the turtle's limbs. The four main streets, eight small streets, and seventy-two alleys in the city constitute the Bagua map on the tortoise shell! What is its profound meaning? It hopes to use the power of the Turtle God to make the ancient city of Pingyao as solid as a rock and as solid as gold, and last forever. It was built in the Western Zhou Dynasty and has a history of more than 2,700 years. It really lives as long as a turtle! The ancient city we see now is what it looked like after expansion in the third year of Hongwu in the Ming Dynasty (1370).

Let us enter the city, travel back to the Ming and Qing Dynasties, and appreciate the unique and ancient style of the ancient city! Look, most of the houses in the ancient city are made of gray bricks, and are decorated with exquisite wood carvings, brick carvings or stone carvings, as well as paper-cut window grilles with a strong local flavor. They look really antique and worthy of being a world cultural heritage.

After seeing the ancient streets, we then visited the "soul" of Pingyao Ancient City - Pingyao Confucian Temple. This temple has a long history and is the most complete existing Confucian temple in my country. It is also known as the "Little Forbidden City", with a large scale and complete regulations. Let’s have a good feel of the ancient cultural atmosphere! Then, let’s go up to the Kuixing Tower together to soak up the spiritual energy of the number one scholar! Look, this building is small and exquisite, but it points directly to the sky. It feels like "you can pick the stars with your hands." It is said that in those days, all those who won the first prize had to climb Kuixing Tower and Wenchang Pavilion, pass by Yunlufang, and pass by Banqiao (also known as Zhuangyuan Bridge), and then to the Confucian Temple to worship Confucius.

Everyone’s stomachs are singing "Empty City Strategy", Xiao Huang takes everyone to taste the famous snack-Pingyao Beef. Next, there are more places of interest waiting for you! Shanxi Pingyao Ancient City Guide Words 4

Welcome everyone to travel to Shanxi. I am your tour guide. You can call me Coco. The place I will take you to today is Pingyao Ancient City. Pingyao Ancient City is currently the best preserved city in my country. The most complete ancient city is more than a thousand years old. Because this ancient city is shaped like a turtle, people also call it "Turtle City".

The city wall of Pingyao Ancient City is very wide, and the top of the city wall is paved with large city bricks. There were several cannons mounted on the lookout points of the city wall. They were the most powerful weapons at the time, so they were given the name "General Shenwu". People can take photos here because "a soldier who doesn't want to be a general is not a good soldier."

Let us go to the county government office and have a look. The county government office faces south. There are two large stone lions squatting on both sides of the main entrance. They look very majestic with their big mouths open. The gate railing of the Yamen is very high, and the two gates are thick and heavy, painted in vermilion. Walking into the courtyard, the east and west rooms were the places where taxes and grain were collected in ancient times. Each has six cave dwellings, which means the six and six fortunes. Walking further inside is a large main hall, which was the office of the ancient county magistrate. There is a large plaque with "Mingjing hanging high" hanging on it. There are many torture instruments used in the court on the left and right sides, giving people a sense of fortitude when entering. . Bypassing the main hall and entering the backyard is where the county magistrate eats and rests. There is a couplet hanging at the door, which means treating the people as parents. Do practical things for the people.

After leaving the county government office, we strolled along a street in the Ming and Qing Dynasties. This place is full of ancient buildings from the Ming and Qing Dynasties. The facades and plaques of each store are also in ancient styles. If people wear ancient costumes, they can film costume dramas here. I took this photo on this street.

The last stop is for us to visit the earliest bank in China - Rishengchang Bank. In the accounting room on the right side, there are two wax figures, one seems to be collecting money, and the other is keeping accounts. It is said that a bookkeeper here could earn 80 taels of silver a year. At that time, one tael of silver could buy an acre of land. There are strict anti-counterfeiting measures on the banknotes. In order to prevent old customers from deciphering them, 300 sets of passwords have been changed every 100 years. When we came to the backyard, the walls here were thick and high, and there were many coins built into the cracks in the walls. It is said that it is to show the strength of the master.

At this point, the tour of Pingyao Ancient City ends. Thank you all.
