The annex halls on both sides were used for officials on duty and the offices of the Privy Council. Well, Before we start our tour in the garden, I will briefly introduce you the

Lets look at the map together, From it we can see the Summer Palace covers an area of 290 hectares, which the lake occupies the three-fourths. The whole garden can be divide into three parts

15、 Hall of Benevolence and Longevity. The huge rock in front of us is Taihu Rock. It was quarried from Taihu Lake in Jiangsu Province, so it was known as Taihu Rock. Please look around the courtyard and you can see there are four grotesque shaped rocks placed in each corner of this courtyard, represen

16、ting the four seasons of the year. The Taihu Rocks are usually used as decoration for beautifying gardens and they are thin, crease, leak and penetration in characters.The bronze mythical animal behind the Taihu Rock is known as Suanni or some people call it Qilin. According to ancient Chinese mytho

17、logy, the dragon had nine sons, but none of them became a real dragon. Suanni was one of the nine sons of the dragon. It was an auspicious animal that could avoid evil spirits in ancient lengeds. Suanni has the head of dragon, the antlers of dear, the hooves of ox and the tail of lion.(In front of t

18、he Hall of Benevolence and Longevity)This grand hall is the Hall of Benevolence and Longevity. It was first built in 1750. The name of this hall taken from a book entitled Lun Yu by Confucius doctrine means, “ those who are benevolent can enjoy a long life.” This hall was the place where Emperor Gua

19、ngxu and Empress Dowager Cixi held audience and handled state affairs when they were in the Summer Palace. For protecting the historical cultural relic, we couldnt enter the hall. So I would like to briefly introduce you the decorations in the Hall of Benevolence and Longevity. The arrangement of th

20、e hall has been left untouched. In the middle of the hall stands an emperors throne carved with nine dragons on design. There are two big fans on both sides behind the throne which are made of peacock feathers. Behind the throne there is a big screen with red sandalwood frame and glass mirror inlaid

21、. On the mirror there are 226 Chinese characters of the word Longevity written in different styles. There are two scrolls on each side of the wall with a big Chinese character Longevity written on it. It was said that the word Longevity written by Empress Dowager Cixi. There are 100 bats painted at

22、the background of the scroll symbolizing happiness.Well, please look up the two pairs of incense burners in the shape of a dragon and a phoenix in front of the hall. They were used to burn incense sticks to create the appropriate atmosphere. In the old days, the dragon and phoenix were the symbol of

23、 the emperor and empress. According to ritual, the dragons should be placed in the center while phoenixes were to either side in front of the hall.However, here, the dragons are off to the sides and the phoenixes are in the middle. This was a product of the end of Qing Dynasty when Empress Dowager C

24、ixi handled state affairs behind the screen.(At the entrance of Garden of virtuour Harmony)We are now visiting the Garden of Virtuous Harmony, where Emperor Qianlong and Empress Dowager Cixi were entertained with Bejing Opera performances. It mainly consists of the Dressing House, the Grand Theater

25、Building and the Hall of Pleasure Smile. The Grand Theater Building was known as the Cradle of Beijing Opera was uniquely laid out and magnificently decorated. There are 7 exhibition halls with articles of daily use on display here.(In front of the Grand Theater Building)This is the Grand Theater Bu

26、ilding. Of the three main theater buildings of the Qing Dynasty, the Grand Theater Building is the tallest and largest one.

27、ouble roof with upturned eaves. It is 21 meters high and 17 meters wide. Performances could be staged simultaneously on three levels. The top one was a symbol of happiness, the middle level was emolument level and the bottom stage was named longevity stage. Each level has the entrance and the exit.

30、ade Ripples)We are now standing in the middle of a rockery behind the Hall of Benevolence and Longevity. It appears that theres nothing special ahead. However, after we clear the rockery, we will reach Kunming Lake. This is an application of a specific style of Chinesegardening.Now, we are walking a

31、long the bank of the Kunming Lake. Look over there, not far away in the lake there is an islet. Its called the Spring Heralding Islet. The pavilion on the islet is called the Spring Heralding Pavilion. A number of willow trees and peach trees were planted on this islet. In early spring, when the ice

32、 begins to melt, peach trees are red in pink blossoms, willow trees turn a tender green signaling that the early spring has returned. Hence the name Heralding Sping Pavilion.(In front of the Hall of Jade Ripples)This group of special and quiet courtyard dwellings is the Hall of Jade Ripples. The wor

33、ds “Jade Ripples” came from a verse “Gentle ripples gushing out of Jade Spring”, which refers to the rippling water in the lake. It was first used by Emperor Qianlong to attend to state affairs. In the late Qing Dynasty, it was where Emperor Guangxu was put under house arrest.This hall is a hallmark

34、 of the Movement of 1898. Emperor Guangxu was Emperor Dowager Cixis nephew. After Emperor Tongzhi died, Emperor Dowager Cixi made her nephew, who was at that time four years old a successor in order to continue her hold on imperial power. She handled state affairs behind the screen. After Emperor Gu

35、angxu managed state affairs personally at the age of 19, a political conflict occurred between the conservatives and the reformers. In 1898, the Reform Movement took place with the aim of sustaining the core principles of the Qing Dynasty while reforming outdated laws. The movement lasted for103 day

36、s until it was suppressed by Empress Dowager Cixi. It was called the Hundred-Day Reform. After the reform failed, Emperor Guangxu was put under house arrest here. For the strict control of him, Empress Dowager Cixi ordered to build many brick walls in the front, back, and on the right and left of th

37、e Hall of Jade Ripples. At that time the hall was entirely sealed up, just like a prison. Today only the hidden walls in the east and west annex room still maintain its original appearance. It is open to visitors as the relic related to the 1898 Reform Movement.(In front of the Chamber of Collecting

38、 Books)This is the Chamber of Collecting Books. In Chinese, its called “Yi Yun Guang”. “Yun” was a kind of fragrant weed. In ancient times, it was usually used as termite repellent in rooms where books were stored.In the Emperor Qianlongs reign, the purpose of the hall was for collecting books. Late

39、r it was converted into a residence. There used to be the residence of Guangxus Empress Longyu, and his favorite concubine Zhenfei.(In the Hall of Happiness and Longevity)This group of courtyard is the Hall of Happiness and Longevity. It was the major architectural structure in the living quarters a

40、nd the residence of Empress Dowager Cixi. The whole compound was basically made of wood, which is ideal for ventilation and lighting. With its quiet and tasteful layout, the Hall of Happiness and Longevity made life very easy and convenient. In front of the Hall of Happiness and Longevity there is a

41、 huge rock placed in the middle of this courtyard named “Qing Zhi Xiu” and nicknamed as “Family Bankruptcy Rock”. This huge rock was discovered in Fangshan District by a Ming official Mi Wanzhong. He wanted to transport it to his own garden “Shaoyuan”. In the old days, transporting such rock was ver

42、y difficult. After spending all his money to ship it, he still could not succeed in doing this. The big rock was then left on the roadside somewhere near Liangxiang County, 30 kilometers southwest of Beijing. Hence it was nicknamed “Family Bancruptcy Rock”. Later Emperor Qianlong discovered it and t

43、ransported to the Garden of Clear Ripples and laid in front of the Hall of Happiness and Longevity. The colorful glass chandeliers hanging inside the hall was introduced from Germany in 1903. It is one of the earliest electric lights in China.(In front of the Gate of Inviting the Moon of the Long Co

44、rridor)Ladies and Gentlemen, you may have visited some of the best museums in the world, such as the Louvre in France and the Museum of Great Britain. Now I will show you a special gallery in the palacethe Long Corridor. In 1990, the Long Corridor was listed in the Guinness Book of World Records as

45、the longest painted corridor in the world. It would be a pity if we leave the Summer Palace without visiting the Long Corridor and the Marble Boat. Now, here we go, the Long Corridor first!(Strolling along the Long Corridor)The Long Corridor starts from the Gate Inviting the Moon to the Shizhang Gat

46、e. It is 728 meters long and consists of 273 sections. The Long corridor is one of the major structures of the Summer Palace. Since the corridor was designed to follow the physical features of the southern slope of Longevity Hill, four multiple-eaved, octagonal pavilions ( Retaining the Goodness Pav

47、ilion, Living with the Ripples Pavilion, Autumn Water Pavilion, Clear and Far Pavilion) were placed at bends and undulation, they represent four seaons of a year. Thus visitors will hardly notice the rise and fall of the terrain. As a major part of the architectural style of the Summer Palace, the L

48、ong Corridor serves as an ingenious connector between the Lake and the Hill. Scattered buildings on the southern slope were linked to create a unified complex.The Long Corridor is the longest covered veranda in any Chinese garden. On the purlins and beams of the covered veranda, there are over 14,00

49、0 Suzhou style paintings. Among them, there are 546 color paintings relating to the scenes of West Lake in Hangzhou, Zhejiang Province.
