凤凰古城导游词

　　Hello everyone! Welcome to Fenghuang ancient city.

　　Fenghuang is a beautiful place with many places of interest. It has alwaysbeen a popular tourist attraction. The ancient city buildings, Ming and Qingancient courtyards and stone streets in the city are still elegant. Outside thecity are Nanhua Mountain National Forest Park, and the ancient city ofhuangsiqiao built in the Tang Dynasty. It is still well preserved.

　　Phoenix is not only beautiful scenery, but also outstanding people. XiongXiling, the first cabinet premier of the Republic of China, Shen Congwen, afamous writer, and Huang Yongyu, a famous painter, are all from Phoenix. Morethan ten films and TV series, such as border town, Xiaoxiao, xiangnv, Xiangxibandit suppression, were also shot here.

　　Well, the place we are now visiting is the former residence of Mr. ShenCongwen, a famous writer and archaeologist in China. Shen Congwen's formerresidence was built by his grandfather Shen Hongfu in the first year of Tongzhiin Qing Dynasty. On December 28, 1920__, Mr. Shen Congwen was born in thiscourtyard with the architectural style of Ming and Qing Dynasties, and spent hischildhood and youth here.

　　In 1920x, Mr. Shen came to Beijing alone and began his hard life as awriter. He created a series of literary works such as "border town", "Xiangxi",etc. soon he became famous in the Chinese literary world, almost as well as Mr.Lu Xun, who was more than 20 years older than him. After the 1950s, Mr. Shendevoted himself to the study of ancient Chinese costumes, and wrote hismasterpiece the study of ancient Chinese costumes. Mr. Shen's works andcharacter show a strong consistency: natural, honest, modest, diligent, broadand dignified. Mr. Shen's works of more than 5 million words are the world'sliterary treasures, leaving valuable historical materials for future generationsto study the old China and the old Xiangxi.

　　This is the former residence of Xiong Xiling, the first Prime Minister ofthe Republic of China. On July 23, 1870, Xiong Xiling was born in this smallbungalow. When he was 9 years old, his private school teacher wrote a couplet:"plant a few potted flowers to explore the spring and autumn news." Mr. Xiongimmediately wrote the second couplet: "dig a pool of water to see the void ofheaven and earth." It was a good story.

　　After becoming famous, Mr. Xiong actively advocated the reform. He oncefounded Xiangbao, Shiwu school and Changde West Road normal school. He was thebackbone of the reform school in Hunan and Tan Sitong. Later, Mr. Xiong servedas the financial supervisor of the three eastern provinces, Rehe Dutong, and thechief financial officer. In 1920__, he became the first Prime Minister of theRepublic of China. At that time, the government was known as the "talentcabinet" by the public opinion circles. Later, because Mr. Xiong opposed YuanShikai's dictatorship, he was forced by Yuan Shikai to dissolve the cabinet andresign as prime minister. On December 5, 1937, Xiong Xiling died in Hong Kong atthe age of 67.

　　Now what you see is Hongqiao. The bridge was first built in Hongwu Periodof Ming Dynasty, and then repaired in Kangxi period of Qing Dynasty. Theoriginal stilted Pavilion on the bridge deck was demolished when the highway wasbuilt in 1956, which is what it is now. Under the bridge, you can see a row ofold stilted buildings with a history of 100 years. Hanging feet downstairs isthe traditional sports program of Phoenix dragon boat race.

　　Along the official road of that year, we arrive at Shen Congwen's cemetery.What Dali saw was an inscription written by Mr. Huang Yongyu in memory of hiscousin Shen Congwen: "if a soldier does not die in battle, he will return to hishometown." As you can see, Mr. Shen's graveyard has no raised mound, only apiece of five colored stone standing in the original state; there is no carvedfence and jade decoration, only a stone path for grazing and firewood runningthrough it, which symbolizes that Mr. Shen will always be with the ordinarypeople. Half of Mr. Shen's ashes are scattered in the Tuojiang River in front ofhim, and half of them are buried under this colorful stone. He is like theTuojiang River in front of him, which originates from and returns to the earth.He is like the colorful stone accompanying him, which originates from andreturns to the earth!

　　On the front of the five colored stone as a tombstone is engraved Mr.Shen's handwriting: "if you think as I do, you can understand me; if you thinkas I do, you can know people." Yes, it is this kind of belief that makes Mr.Shen abandon his military career of promotion and wealth and choose a hard lifeof literature. It is this kind of belief that makes Mr. Shen wave his great penand introduce the Xiangxi people he knows to the whole world. On the back of thetombstone, there is an inscription written by Mr. Shen's wife and sister, Ms.Zhang Yunhe: "if you don't break it or follow it, there will be stars; if youare kind and kind, there will be a child." These four sentences sum up Mr.Shen's life.

　　Well, that's all for my explanation. I hope Phoenix can leave a goodimpression on you. Let's get together again. Thank you!
