古文化街导游词英文介绍1

　　First of all, on behalf of the youth travel agency. My name is Lin Yuan.I'm a tour guide of CYTS. You can call me Xiao Lin.

　　This is our driver, Master Wang. He has rich driving experience. You canrest assured. We will drive to guwenhua street, have dinner at 12:30 noon, visitGulou commercial street in the afternoon and return to the hotel at 5 pm. In thefollowing tour activities, please cooperate with me. I will also provide youwith the best service. Finally, I wish you a happy and smooth tour.

　　Notice that we are going to the ancient culture street. Let me give you abrief introduction. It is a commercial street with Tianjin localcharacteristics. In the Yuan Dynasty, with the development of watertransportation and the appearance of Tianhou palace, people began to settle downaround the palace and gradually formed a market. In the Qing Dynasty, itachieved unprecedented prosperity. Ancient culture street attracts tourists athome and abroad with its unique four flavors of "Chinese flavor, Tianjin flavor,ancient flavor and cultural flavor", arousing Tianjin residents' admiration forexcellent folk cultural traditions.

　　Now it's 9:30 and we'll be back on time at 12:00. Please remember that thecar we took was Daewoo car of South Korea, with the license plate number of Jina t8210 and the words "Tianjin CYTS" at the bottom right of the front window.OK, please take your valuables and get off in order.

　　The ancient culture street is centered on Tianhou palace, which is dividedinto "Gongbei Street" and "gongnan Street". Now we are at the corner of gongnanstreet. As soon as we come here, we can see the grand archway of Qing Dynasty.There is also one at the corner of Gongbei street. They are exquisite andmagnificent in shape, which not only achieves the effect of "winning the firstplace", but also sets off the antique buildings in the ancient culture streetwith elegant beauty and distinct layers.

　　We looked up and saw on the plaque the four words "hometown of Tianjin". Itwas here that the Jin people who ruled the north in the Jin Dynasty establishedthe earliest Zhigu village in Tianjin. Today, Tianjin urban area is also takingthis as the center, gradually developed and formed. It plays a very importantrole in the formation of Tianjin. It is well deserved to be called the hometownof Tianjin.

　　The plaque on the North floor says "Gushang art garden". The ancientculture street has a strong artistic atmosphere in terms of architectural style,shop decoration, plaques, couplets and business commodities. Therefore, it isvery appropriate to call it an "art garden" in Gushang. In addition, when weenter the shops on the street, we will see that under the eaves of the shop'sfacade, there are Soviet style color paintings of the Qing Dynasty in Fangjian,and each one has plot and allusion. You may as well guess what the paintingsare. Well, let's walk into this ancient street to appreciate its unique ancientarchitecture and cultural characteristics. Please follow me closely.

　　What we see now is the Mountain Gate of Tianhou palace. "First there washeaven, then there was the palace, and then there was Tianjin city." This isTianjin People's popular and vivid view of urban development. Tianhou palace,commonly known as "Niangniang Palace", was built in 1326, the third year ofTAIDING in Yuan Dynasty and rebuilt in the first year of Yongle in Ming Dynasty.It is the oldest existing building in Tianjin. Together with Mazu temple inMeizhou, Fujian Province and Chaotian Palace in Beigang, Chinese Taiwan, it is known asthe world's three Queen's palace. Tianhou palace is dedicated to Lin Mo, who wasborn in xianlianggang, Putian County, Fujian Province in Song Dynasty. It issaid that she was intelligent when she was young. At the age of 15, she wasproficient in medical treatment and often crossed the sea to rescue fishermen indistress. She could also observe the changes of the wind and the clouds andpredict the weather. She was honored as a goddess, and later was granted theTitle of Princess of heaven. After that, she became the God of the sea.

　　I wonder if you have found this problem. In China, temples generally facesouth. However, Tiantian palace is an exception: it faces east from the West.This is because some ships at that time had no time or other reasons to dock. Ifthe Queen's palace would sit facing the Haihe River from the west to the East,the boat people and merchants would be able to worship the queen on board andpray for peace. Now let's go inside and visit Tianhou palace. Everybody followme.

　　As soon as we came in from the mountain gate, the first thing we saw wasthe bell and drum towers on both sides. This is the bell tower. It and theopposite drum tower were originally built in the Yuan Dynasty, but they wererebuilt many times later. It can be said that they have gone through manyvicissitudes. We see that there are 66 cranes on this clock, which symbolizegood luck. You can knock them. Knock it a hundred Shun, two Ruyi, threeAnkang.

　　We are now in the front hall, and the one in the middle is Wang Lingguan,the highest ranking Taoist Dharma protector. The people praised him for sayingthat "three eyes can see things in the world, and one whip can wake people up.".The four men on both sides of him were the four servants of empress Tien Hou.They had good eyes, pleasant ears, good and evil.

　　Once upon a time, the temple came out, and now we come to the main hall. Itis made up of three buildings. The front one is a rolling shed hanging on thetop of the mountain, three rooms wide and one room deep; the middle one is aseven purlin single eaves veranda, three rooms wide and three rooms deep; theback one is a Fengwei hall, also a rolling shed hanging on the top of themountain, one room wide and one room deep. The main hall is not only the oldestbuilding in Tianjin, but also one of the earliest buildings in China. You cansee that in the middle of this is empress dowager. Her front, back, left andright are her four maids. Usually, there is constant incense here. Many peoplecome to worship empress dowager and pray for peace.

　　Let's take a look at the north and south side halls on both sides of themain hall.

　　This is nanpeidian. It is dedicated to the folk gods of Tianjin. This isGranny Wang. It is said that she is a witch who goes to the countryside to see adoctor. She is always based on charity. It is said that touching Granny Wang'shand can cure all kinds of diseases.

　　Come out from the palace of heaven after heaven, here is the square infront of the palace. In front of it is the theater used to perform for gods. Infront of the Palace Square, there are also exclusive shops like yangliuqingnianpainting and clay figurine Zhang. In the rest of the time, you can visit andshop freely, and you must pay attention to safety. Finally, I would like to saythat it is still at the corner of South Street to get back to the bus before 12o'clock. OK, now we can disband.

　　Dear friends, this tour is coming to an end. I want to say goodbye to you.Thank you very much for your support for my work, sincerely say sorry for theunsatisfactory places in my work, and hope you can put forward your valuableopinions. Finally, I wish you all good health and good wishes in your futurelife.

　　Hello, everyone. Welcome to my beautiful hometown Tianjin. I'm your guidetoday. My name is Chen. You can call me Xiao Chen. This is the driver's doorman.On behalf of Tianjin Jinlong travel agency, I would like to welcome you all.It's a great honor to be here with you. I also hope we can have a good timetogether today. Today we are going to visit Tianjin ancient culture street.

　　When it comes to Tianjin, if you want to taste tianjin flavor, folk flavorand cultural flavor here, the best place to go is the ancient culture street, a5A tourist attraction in Tianjin. Located in gongnangong North Street, NankaiDistrict, it is the gathering place of Tianjin water transport culture, folkculture and Haihe culture. As early as 1420__, before the establishment ofTianjin, this place gradually developed and flourished. Today, we can enjoy thenewly renovated folk Hutong tongqingli, the 620__ year old Taoist Holy LandYuhuangge, Tianyan square, Tianhou Palace Square, Tianhou Palace Square, Tianhoupalace built in 1320__, and the folk custom museum showing Tianjin's 100 yearold folk customs. Now we have reached our destination. Please get out of the carcarefully.

　　First of all, here we see a very beautiful ancient archway. There are fourwords on it: Gushang art garden. The word "Gushang" is the old name of Tianjin.The word "Yiyuan" means the birthplace of culture. In other words, this is theearliest birthplace of Tianjin culture. There are two words on the back of thisarchway. Let's have a look here. Here you can see two words, jin'ao. The meaningof gold is precious, while Ao comes from the allusion of carp leaping over thedragon's gate. It is said that the carp crossing the dragon's gate will bereborn and become the Ao, which is the embodiment of the dragon. It is said thatJinao is located in Haihe River in Tianjin. That is to say, we will be protectedby jin'ao after passing by. After seeing the archway, we still have some coppermoney under our feet. What's the point of these copper coins? There are twelvecopper coins in all. It marks the heyday of China from Tang Dynasty to QingDynasty. The farthest one is Kaiyuan Tongbao. It represents the age of Kaiyuan,and the big ones under our feet represent the age of unification, and QianlongTongbao symbolizes the age of Qing Dynasty. This means that after we walkthrough this street, we will have a lot of good intentions to bless you. Thereis also the hope that our motherland will become prosperous and strong from nowon.

　　Enter the ancient culture street, I believe you must be attracted by itsantique. Among them, the most eye-catching one is the brilliant colors andmeticulous painting by painters. These are all hand drawn by famous craftsmen.There are more than 800 such paintings in the whole street, including more than300 plots. The west side is painted with four ancient Chinese Masterpieces,while the east side is painted with legends from the Han Dynasty to the QingDynasty.

　　Unconsciously, we came to the first stop, tongqingli. Here is the lanebetween two high walls. It was built in 1920__, that is, in the second year ofthe Republic of China. It is a typical Jinwei building and the largest complexof Chinese and Western architecture in Tianjin. Here we walk into the gate andsee four murals on the wall. They show the market culture of Tianjin. The two onthe right are civilized weddings, witty words, and the two on the left aredragon boat and stilts. On this side of the Hutong, you can see two largemurals. One is the picture of Lu River in Tianjin on this side, which shows theprosperous sea scene of Tianjin at Sancha estuary. On the other side, there is amural, which is the young willow painting of that year - huangdamen. Itdescribes the customs of Tianjin people to celebrate the lunar new year. So far,we still have such a doggerel: 23, tanggua sticky, 24, sweep the house, 25,paste the window, 26, stew big meat, 27, kill rooster, 28, BA mianfa, 29, pasteDiaoyou, make a night on New Year's Eve.

　　Out of tongqingli, please follow me. This way, please. Let's take a look atthe Jade Emperor Pavilion, which has a history of 620__ years. Yuhuangge wasfirst built in the Tang Dynasty and the first year of Hongwu in the MingDynasty. But there is no way to verify the two statements. According tohistorical records, the farthest date is the second year of Xuande in MingDynasty. Now you can see the building in the second year of Xuande in MingDynasty. In fact, Yuhuangge was originally a complex of buildings, but due tothe age and frequent wars, these buildings no longer exist. Only the originalQingxu Pavilion remains. The whole loft is divided into upper and lower floors,with double eaves. On the first floor of the hall, there is a bronze statue ofthe Jade Emperor. On the second floor, there are four pieces of "Qianqiu belt"recording the repair process and age. At the same time, there are well preservedcolored paintings of the Ming Dynasty. These are still visible and colorful.

　　After seeing Yuhuangge, we will go to Tianyan square. Tianyan square isnamed for its proximity to the living place of Mr. Yan Fu, a famous modernChinese translator. It is here that the world-famous Tianyan Lun istranslated.

　　All right, let's move on. Now we come to the Tin Hau Palace Square. He gothis name from Tian Hou palace. The queen of heaven and Mazu are the same personhere. There is a custom of believing in Mazu along the coast of Fujian andZhejiang, but the worship of Mazu by Tianjin people is little known. In fact,the Mazu temple in Tianjin is one of the three largest Mazu temples in theworld. It is as famous as the Mazu temple in Meizhou, Fujian and Chaotian Palacein Beigang, Chinese Taiwan. As the Haihe River connected to the Bohai Sea, thesanchahekou wharf was a big Wharf at that time, so every ship that went to seaboarded from here. Therefore, Mazu temple was built here. People who travel faraway worship Mazu and pray for Mazu's protection before sailing out to sea. Itmust be strange that in ancient China, temples, palaces, Yamen and so on usuallyface south from the north, while this queen's palace faces east from the West.Because we have to face the Haihe River, which leads to the Bohai Sea. To facethe Haihe River is to face the sea, so that the believers can worship Mazu onthe Haihe River when they are not convenient to get off the ship. Later, thesquare evolved into the place for Mazu's birthday and Emperor's meeting everyyear. The two high flagpoles initially served as lighthouses, and the high redlights could guide ships on the Haihe River. Later, on Mazu's birthday and thefirst emperor's meeting, 24 red lanterns were hung on each of the two banners,which meant that people who went to sea could return safely as soon as possible.The original purpose of the opposite theater building was to thank Mazu for herprotection. It is also the earliest theater performance venue in Tianjin. Afterthe recent renovation, he restored the function and effect of the stage. Everynew year's celebration, famous actors and artists would come here toperform.

　　Now let's walk into the queen of heaven palace to learn about the contentand situation. After entering the mountain gate, we can see the drum tower onour left and the bell tower on our hand, which means that the bell and drum aresinging together and the world is peaceful. And in front of you see the "threeTianjin blessing Lord", for its front hall. It is dedicated to Wang Lingguan,the spirit protector of the sea god. Among them, there are four great vajras:Jiashan, Jiale, Qianliyan and shunfenger. After seeing this, let's go into themain hall and have a look at the situation there. Tianhou palace was built inthe third year of Taiping in Yuan Dynasty. It is the best preserved building ofYuan Dynasty in our city so far. Now we are in her main hall. In the process ofprotecting the country and Baoning, Mazu, the sea god, was worshipped. Mazu,formerly known as Lin Mo, is a native of Meizhou Island in Fujian Province. Shewas born miraculous, can take water, can cross the sea by seat, and rescued someships at sea. At the age of 27, he emerged and ascended to heaven. Later, he waspraised as the God of the sea by the local people. We can take a brief look atit.

　　The gentle wind blows. Wandering in the meantime, the heart is happy. Infact, shopping in cultural street is not for shopping. Even this refreshingfeeling will make people relaxed and happy. Here, in addition to the antiquebuildings imitating the Qing Dynasty and Ming Dynasty, there are also his shopsand hutongs. When it comes to shops, we can see that there are many traditionalhandicrafts in Tianjin, such as Yangliu youth painting and clay figurine ZhangCaisu. In addition, there are countless jade shops, antique shops, stone andjade shops and clothing shops in the whole street, so that tourists can get whatthey need and enjoy the pleasure of returning home with a full load.

　　Before we knew it, we had come to the end of the street. You can see thatthere is also a corresponding archway with two words on it: Sunny snow. It comesfrom the verses of the Ming Dynasty poet Li Dongyang Zhigu Bajing. Yongmen clearsnow into jin'ao. The meaning of "snow has joy" is exactly the scene of earlyclear after snow and full of tourists. That is to say, in the clear sky,visitors with a pure heart are here to worship Mazu and jade emperor. Pray fortheir future life, the more smoothly they will cross the border. On the back ofQingxue there are four words: hometown of Jinmen. Jinmen is the meaning ofTianjin, and hometown is the old place. In other words, this is the earliestbirthplace of Tianjin.

　　Today, we have passed the 680 meter long ancient culture street to show youthe authentic folk customs and national characteristics of Tianjin. This is theend of our journey.

It is located in gongnangong North Street,Nankai District. In 1985, it was reorganized by the municipal government torestore its traditional style and named "Ancient Culture Street". The ancientculture street is different from the general commercial street. It gathers allkinds of handicrafts and cultural goods from all over Tianjin and even the wholecountry.

The whole street is full ofstrong Chinese flavor, Tianjin flavor, ancient flavor and cultural flavor. Sowhat about the ancient culture street? Let's make an evaluation after visitingit in person.

　　Well, we have come to the parking lot of the scenic spot. Please rememberthat our car is a white golden dragon, and the license plate is Jin a2345. At 4pm, the car will be waiting for you in Gongbei street. I hope you won't be late.Please lock the window. Please take your valuables with you. OK, please getoff.

　　The first thing that catches our eyes is a tall and majestic pailou withgold colored painting and green top Zhuying. The color painting on it is calledxuanzi color painting, with the words "hometown of Jinmen" written on it. Itdefinitely points out that the area near the ancient culture street was asettlement 800 years ago, where the Jin people who ruled the North establishedZhigu village, the most important prison of Tianjin city. Today's Tianjin isformed by the gradual development of this area as the original central area. Ithas always been a prosperous commercial area in Tianjin for six or seven hundredyears, which has played an immeasurable role in the development of Tianjin. Itis well deserved to be called the hometown of Tianjin.

　　Well, please follow me into this street. You've noticed that many shops inthis street do not have colorful paintings under the eaves and in the rooms.These are Kaiguang Qing style Su paintings, most of which are character stories.Let's take a look at the color paintings of you Fangjian in Jizhen. On them areeight paintings in the romance of the Three Kingdoms, including "three marriagesin Taoyuan", "three heroes fighting Lu Bu in Hulao pass", "Lu Bu playing DiaoChan in Fengyi Pavilion" and "refusing Cao in Dangyang". From the perspective ofWestern Shu, they mainly depict the heroic stories of Liu Bei, Guan Yu and ZhangFei. We are looking at the Fangjian of Liyuan Pavilion opposite. The painting onit is the classic opera Xixiang Ji, which describes the love story between CuiYingYing and Zhang Junrui.

　　Well, now let's turn around and have a look. There are two tall flagpolesin front of the gate of tianhuangong mountain. They stick straight into Yunxiao,which is particularly eye-catching. This flagpole is 26 meters high. Theflagpole is made of several pieces of copper and iron rough wood. The outerlayer is wrapped with hemp plaster, and then coated with paint. It is solidthrough winter and summer. It is said that when the flagpole was first erected,on the one hand, it hung lights to guide the boats going to and fromsanchahekou, on the other hand, it served as a foil for Tianhou palace, makingthe whole building complex appear to be in an extraordinary state. Later, it wasspecially used to hang the long flag of Empress Dowager's title during thepilgrimage on the 1st and 15th day of each lunar month and during the templefair.

　　Please go on. Now we are looking at the main building of Tianhou palace.Tianjin local folk known as "empress", so the empress palace is also known asempress palace. It was first built in the Yuan Dynasty, and was rebuilt andreinforced many times in later dynasties. As we all know, most temples in Chinaface south from north, but the temple of heaven after heaven faces west fromEast. Why? Because the Sancha River in Jinmen is a necessary place for watertransport, which is not only the starting point of river transport, but also theterminal point of sea transport, and becomes a transit station for river seatransport. In order to satisfy the spiritual sustenance of the boat people,merchants and government officials in the water transportation and pray for theprotection of the God of the sea, the temple of heaven was built on the WestBank of the Haihe River. The temple gate faces east, faces the Haihe River, andships from south to North anchor and burn incense in the temple. Some shipscan't reach the shore because they don't have time or for some reason. Boatpeople and merchants can also worship the queen on board and pray for peace. Inthis way, it not only met the requirements of the folk worship of the believerswho could not land, but also complied with the busy shipping demand at thattime, and met the requirements of the folk worship of the believers who couldnot land.

　　What we see now is the mountain gate, which is a mixed structure of brickand wood. There are three gates with a green tile roof on Jiuji Xieshan. Themiddle is a circular arch, which means "the sky is round" in ancient times, andthe two sides are rectangular gates. On the forehead of the gate is engravedwith the four characters of "Chijian Tianhou Palace", and in the middle arch isa plaque of "protect Sanjin". There was no such gate when the temple was firstbuilt. It was built in the 14th year of Qianlong.

　　You follow me in and face a wooden archway with two columns and one floor.On the left and right sides are the drum tower and the bell tower. Walkingthrough the archway, we can see the front hall in front of us. In the middle ofthe hall, there are worshippers of the Dharma God King, and on both sides are"Qianliyan", "shunfenger" and "Jiaxie" and "Jiashan".

　　The first thing that catches our eyes is a tall and majestic archery withgold painting and green top Zhuying. The color painting on it is called xuanzicolor painting, with the word "hometown of Jinmen" written on it. It definitelypoints out that the area near the ancient culture street was a settlement 820__years ago, where the Jin people who ruled the North established Zhigu village,the earliest supervision of Tianjin city.

It has alwaysbeen a prosperous commercial area in Tianjin for six or seven hundred years,which has played an immeasurable role in the development of Tianjin. It is welldeserved to be called the hometown of Tianjin.

　　Well, please follow me into this street. You've noticed that many shops inthis street do not have colorful paintings under the eaves and in the rooms.These are Kaiguang Qing style Su paintings, most of which are character stories.Let's take a look at the color paintings of Fangjian, your excellency Jizhen.

In addition to the Su paintings mentioned above, the buildings aredecorated with wood carvings and brick carvings. There are nearly 100 plaques inthe street, most of which are made by famous calligraphers all over the country.You can watch as you walk and savor carefully.

　　Well, now we have come to the square in front of the palace. The famous TinHau palace is located here. Before entering the Tin Hau palace, let's take alook at the opposite theater building. The theater building is a wooden platformbuilding. It faces west in the East, connects Haihe River in the East, and facesthe square in front of the palace in the West. There is a stage on the top and apassage below. The theater was demolished during the cultural revolution. Thetheater we see now was rebuilt in 1985. In the past, the theater was the mainplace for performing gods. Later, after the Japanese invaders occupied Tianjin,the theater stopped performing gods.

　　OK, now let's turn around and have a look. There are two tall flagpoles infront of the gate of tianhuangong mountain. They stick straight into Yunxiao,which is particularly eye-catching. These flagpoles are 26 meters high. Theflagpole is made of several pieces of copper and iron rough wood. The outerlayer is plastered with hemp and then painted. It is strong and strong throughwinter and summer. It is said that when the flagpole was first set up, on theone hand, it hung lights to guide the boats going to and from sanchahekou; onthe other hand, it served as a foil for Tianhou palace. Later, it was speciallyused to hang the long flag of Tianhou title during pilgrimage and temple fair.Far away from the gate of Tianhou palace is the theater building of Tianhoupalace. Theater is the earliest open-air stage in Tianjin, and also the earliestplace for people to entertain themselves.

　　Now we pass through the front hall and come to the main hall. This is theplace where tianniang is worshipped. Tianniang is a Buddhist. There are fourmaids in front of and behind. The main hall is built on a broad platform. In the27th year of Daoguang (1847), the platform foundation was replaced with somestep stones and face stones, with the inscription of "reconstruction in May ofthe 27th year of Daoguang". One stone in the southeast corner and one in thenortheast corner of the platform base is still well preserved. This hall is notonly the oldest building example in Tianjin, but also one of the earliest Mazutemples in China. We have said that empress Tin Hau can protect the safety ofships passing by, so what God is empress Tin Hau? Since she is called empressTin Hau, she must be a goddess. She is not a God made up of fantasy, but a realperson.

　　According to historical records, her name is Lin Mo, a native of MeizhouIsland in Putian, Fujian Province in Song Dynasty. Born in 960 A.D. and died in987 A.D. in Yongxi, Zhao Kuangyin, Taizu of the Song Dynasty, it was named LinMo because he could not cry for a period of time. Growing up on an island, shehas been accustomed to Sailing since childhood and adept at water. Then there isa beautiful legend: "can bear Xi to cross the sea, travel among the islands,people call goddess, also known as Dragon Girl". She often crossed the sea torescue fishermen in distress at sea. Unfortunately, she was killed by thetyphoon. It is also said that after his death, he appeared to help the refugeesfrom time to time, so the rich merchants on the sea paid money to build Mazutemple, and gradually became the God of the sea. At first, the legend of EmpressDowager only spread in Zhejiang and Fujian, but later it was graduallyrecognized by the government. In the Song Dynasty, she was named "lady Linghui"and "empress Linghui" successively. In the Yuan Dynasty, she was named "EmpressDowager", and in the Qing Dynasty, she was named "Empress Dowager".

　　Through the main hall, we came to the Sutra Pavilion. Through the SutraPavilion, what we see now is the Qisheng temple, that is, the back hall, whichwas originally used to offer sacrifices to empress dowager's parents, and laterused to store the light wooden statue of Empress Dowager during the Royalassembly. On both sides of Tianhou palace is Tianjin Folk Custom Museum, whichintroduces the rise and changes of Tianjin city, Tianhou palace and the imperialassembly. From the side witnessed the "first heaven after the palace, afterTianjin city" this statement
