8华山英文导游词

关于华山的中文解说词各位团友：

今天我们将游览被誉为“石作莲花云作台”的华山。华山又称太华山，位于西安城东120公里的华阴市以南。

华山古称西岳，是我国五岳之一，因山峰自然排列若花状，故得名华山。1992年12月会山被 评为全国风景名胜40佳之一。即使没来有来过华山的朋友也会从一些有趣的神话和掌故了解到一些华山的情况，如“自古华山一条路”、“华岳仙掌”、“沉香劈山救母”、“华山论剑”，以及近代的智取华山等，这些美丽的神话传说和故事体现了自古以来人们对华山的向往和崇拜。

华南 山北瞰黄河，南依秦岭，被称为“华山如立”，整个山体线条简洁，形如刀削、斧劈，奇峰突兀，巍峨壮丽。被誉为“天下奇险第一山”。

说到奇，它是由一块巨的完整的花岗岩构成。古人云，“山无石不奇，无纯石不奇”，“华山削成而四方，其广十里，高五千仞，一石也”是谓之“奇”。华山共有五座主峰，其东、西、南三峰最高，三峰鼎峙耸立，“势飞向云外，影倒黄河里”，影天外三峰”之称。提到险，其凌空架设的“长空栈道”，悬岩镌刻的“全真岩”，三面临空，上凸下凹的“鹞子翻身”以及在峭壁悬岩上开凿的千尺童、百尺峡、老君犁沟、擦耳崖、苍龙岭等处都奇险异常。“自古华山一条路”。山道路仅有南北一线，约10公里，逶迤曲折，艰险崎岖，不少地方真可谓是“一夫当关，万夫莫开”。

华山除了有壮丽的自然景观之外，同时又有丰富的历史文化积淀，人文景观比比皆是。仅山上山下及峪道沿途，题字、诗文、石刻就会使人流连忘返。

朋友们，我们现在来到的就是玉泉院，据说因这里的泉水与山顶的玉井相通，水质清洌甘美，故名“玉泉院”。它是攀登华山的必经之地。相传为隐士陈抟所建。院内殿宇亭台、回廊曲折，泉水淙淙，是游赏胜地。玉泉院与我们一会将会见到的东道院、镇岳宫都是道教的活动场所，现共有殿宇53间。院建筑多是清代乾隆年间重新修建的。

各位朋友，我们现在位于五峰之一北峰脚下，距华山谷口约10公里，这里是华山山峪水流的源头。请家顺着我手指的方向看那些树，也许是许多人都会认识它，对，就是青柯树。这里青柯树在此浮苍点黛，故名“青柯坪”。

过青柯坪至回心石。登山的道路由此交从平坦的石板路变为在峭壁上开凿的狭窄的石梯，眼看山路盘旋而上，许多意志薄弱的游客来到这里都会回心转意望山兴叹无功而返。

朋友们，现在我们已到达了北峰。经过前面三关，我想家已经对华山的险有了一定的认识了吧。北峰双名云台峰，海拔1550米，这里山势峥嵘，三面悬绝，巍然独秀，有若云状，因恰似一座云台而得名。它的高度是最低的，却有着非常重要的地理位置，它扼守的四峰的要枢。我们面前的这个亭桨军魂亭”，此名来源于景片《智取华山》。

现在我们来到的是峰。峰又名玉女峰。传说春秋时，华山隐士萧史，善吹讹，优美的箫声博得秦穆公的女儿弄玉的爱慕，使她放弃了奢华舒适的宫廷生活，随箫史在此隐居，多年后二人修炼成仙乘凤而去，山上许多名胜也因此得名。有玉女洗头盆、舍身树等。由于这则美丽的爱情故事，华山在它博、庄严、深沉之后又被赋于了一些浪漫与温柔。 经峰，我陪同家去东峰参观。

东峰，又称朝阳峰，峰顶有朝阳台，在此是观日出的最佳地方。山不在高，有仙则名。华山据传是众多神仙聚居的地方。道家仙境。传说宋太祖赵匡胤与华山隐士陈抟老祖在一个孤峰，上有棋台，那就是他们下棋的地方。陈抟又叫希夷先生，是一个有道行的仙人，二人经过商议，越匡胤以华山做赌注。结果输给了陈抟，按事先订立的条件，华山自此成为道家的道场且永有纳粮。在东东峰的东崖上，有一天然图案。家看到了吧，像不像一只巨掌？这只巨掌20余丈，五指参差不齐，指直贯顶峰，每当日光照射，五指跃然如悬图上。这

就是所谓的“关八景”之首的“华岳仙掌”。据说在很久以前，华山和条山相连，右足登开条山，给黄河开出一条通道，现在我们看到的就是河神的手指在托华山时留下的指印。

南峰又名落雁峰，是华山最高峰，海拔2160米，来到这里如临仙境。正如古诗所云“惟有天在上，更无山与齐，抬头红日近，俯首白云低”。这里四周都是松林，杂以桧柏，迤逦数里，浓阴密闭。现在我们眼前看到的是险要之处就是第四险关“长空栈疲乏”。长空栈道悬空半壁，下临深渊，是华山最险要处之一。没有过人的胆量和坚定的意志，是不敢一游的。峰顶影太上泉”，池水青绿澄澈，常年不竭，俗称“仰天池”。池崖上镌刻甚多，多为明清和近代诗人所题。武侠说《射雕英雄传》描写的“华山论剑”概也是发生在南峰。

我们现在来到是华山的精华部分。西峰，又称莲花峰，得名于峰顶翠云庙前右侧的那块石，其状如莲花，山峰奇拨峻峭，如刀切剑削，壁立千仞。此峰最高处影摘星台”，登台俯瞰，秦川茫茫，蓝天如洗，浩瀚无际，渭、洛二水如银带，北望黄河细如丝。唐代诗人李白观此景后曾写下“西岳峥嵘何壮哉，黄河如丝天际来”的美丽诗句。

现在我们看到的巨石桨斧劈石”。石身有一条0.66米宽的裂缝，关于这条裂缝也有一个感人的传说。玉皇帝的女儿圣母与被玉帝打下凡世的金单玺相爱之后，结为夫妻。二郎神杨戬骂其妹三圣母私配凡夫，违反天条，于是将三圣母压在华山西峰顶的巨石下面，后来三圣母生下一个儿子，取名沉香，沉香长成人得知真相后，来到华山，战胜杨戬，了压在母亲身上的巨石救出母亲，全家得以全聚。这就是“劈山救母”神话发生的地方。

亿万年来鬼斧神工，造就了华山惊险壮丽的自然景观，千百年来文人墨客的咏颂，使华山积累了丰富的文化内涵。可以说，华山与华夏紧紧相连，是华民族的象征；从关于华山的传说、掌故我们可以看出，它不但博、计策、典雅、深沉、严肃，而且幽默、诙谐，甚至还有一丝浪漫与温柔，这不正我们华民族的写照吗？

最后，祝愿我们华民族像华山一样永远屹立在世界的东方。 转贴于：导游资格考试_考试

关于道教的解释Huashan is located in the Qinling Mountain Range, which lies in southern Shaanxi province. Huashan (Hua means brilliant, Chinese, or flowery; shan means mountain) is one of the five sacred Taoist mountains in China. Huashan boasts a lot of religious sites: Taoist temples, pavilions, and engraved scriptures are scattered over the mountain.

Hua Mountain is well-known for its sheer cliffs and plunging ravines. It is known as “the most precipitous mountain under heaven” and is probably the most dangerous mountain in the world frequented by hikers.

Hua Mountain is located 120 kilometers east of Xi'an, about 3 hours from the city centre. There are five peaks that make up the mountain: Cloud Terrace Peak (North Peak, 1613m), Jade Maiden Peak (Middle Peak, 2042m), Sunrise Peak (East Peak, 2100m), Lotus Peak (West Peak, 2038m) and Landing Wild Goose Peak (South Peak, 2160m). North Peak, the lowest of the five, is the starting point. It has three ways up it: the six kilometer winding track from Huashan village, the cable car or the path beneath it.

Next on the route is Jade Maiden Peak. Legend has it that a jade maiden was once seen riding a white horse among the mountains, hence the name. The hikers can choose to take a left to Sunrise Peak, a fine place to enjoy the view of the sunrise in early morning (which would involve climbing the mountain in the dark as there is nowhere to stay on the mountain).

Alternatively visitors could take a right to Lotus Peak. Huashan means Flower Mountain, and it got the name from Lotus Peak, which resembles a beautifully blooming lotus flower. Finally there is a gondola which takes visitors across a steep valley to Landing Wild Goose Peak, the highest among the five summits. The path to the summit is characterized by steep rock faces, with obstacles including a foot-wide plank walkway fixed to a sheer rock face with only a chain along the rock for support. The route continues with footholds in the rock and a chain for holding. This is followed by a vertical ladder in a cleft in the rock. Finally there are steep stone steps. The South Peak is not for the faint of heart and is particularly dangerous in winter weather. However, the views are breathtaking. The climb to its summit makes it clear how the impenetrable mountain repelled attackers over the centuries.

As early as the second century BCE, there was a Daoist temple known as the Shrine of the Western Peak located at its base. Daoists believed that in the mountain lives a god of the underworld. The temple at the foot of the mountain was often used for spirits mediums to contact the god and his underlings. Unlike Taishan, which became a popular place of pilgrimage, Huashan only received local pilgrms, and was not well known in much of the rest of China. Huashan was also an important place for immortality seekers, as powerful drugs were reputed to be found there. Kou Qianzhi (365-448), the founder of the Northern Celestial Masters received revelations there, as did Chen Tuan (920-989), who lived on the mountain prior to receiving immortality. In the 1230s, all the temples on the mountain came under control of the Daoist Quanzhen School. In 1998, the management committee of Huashan agreed to turn over most of the mountain's temples to the China Daoist Association. This was done to help protect the environment, as the presence of monks and nuns deters poachers and loggers.

Huashan has a variety of temples and other religious structures on its slopes and peaks. At the foot of the mountain is the Cloister of the Jade Spring (玉泉院), which is dedicated to Chen Tuan.

There are three ways up to Huashan's North Peak (1613 m), the lowest of the mountain's major peaks. The most popular is the also the original route, which winds for 6 km from Hua Shan village to the north peak. There is also the cable-car, as well as a path that follows the cable car to the North Peak. From the North Peak, a series of paths rise up to the four other peaks, the West Peak (2038 m), the Center Peak (2042 m), the East Peak (2100 m) and the South Peak (2160 m).[4]

Huashan has historically been a place of retreat for hardy hermits, whether Daoist, Buddhist or other; access to the mountain was only deliberately available to the strong-willed, or those who had found 'the way'. With greater mobility and prosperity, Chinese, particularly students, began to test their mettle and visit in the 80s. The inherent danger of many of the exposed, narrow pathways with precipitous drops gave the mountain a deserved reputation for danger. As tourism has boomed and the mountain's accessibility vastly improved with the installation of the cable car in the 90s, visitor numbers surged. Despite the safety measures introduced by cutting deeper pathways and building up stone steps and wider paths, as well as adding railings, fatalities continued to occur. The local government has proceeded to open new tracks and created one-way routes on some more hair-raising parts, such that the mountain can be scaled without significant danger now, barring crowds and icy conditions. Some of the most precipitous tracks have actually

been closed off. The former trail that leads to the South Peak from North Peak is on a cliff face, and it was known as being extremely dangerous; there is now a new and safer stone-built path to reach the South Peak temple, and on to the Peak itself.

Many Chinese still climb at nighttime, in order to reach the East Peak for the dawn - though the mountain now has many hostels. This is also a hangover from when it was considered safer merely not to be able to see the extremes of danger and exposure of the tracks during the ascent, as well as to avoid others descending down what at many points were pathways with scarcely room for one to pass along.

Situated in Huayin County, Mt. Huashan is some 120 kilometers (about 75 miles) east of Xian City in Shaanxi Province. This mountain is celebrated for its majestic breath-taking crags, steep paths, beautiful scenery and it is said to be the most precipitous mountain in the world.

Until recently there was only one way to reach the top of Mt. Huashan since ancient times. Most of the trail is very narrow and steep; some parts are almost vertical. Iron chains have been set up along the path, but courage and an adventurous spirit are still necessary if you decide to climb Mt. Huashan on foot. Recent developments have added two alternate ways of traveling to the summit. Now you can take the ropeway, or ride in a cable car to enjoy the unique scenery of Mt. Huashan.

Mt. Huashan has more than two hundred places of interest and fascinating scenic spots. Its five main peaks, the South Peak (Landing Wild Goose Peak), the West Peak (Lotus Flower Peak), the East Peak (Facing Sun Peak), the Middle Peak (Pure Girl Peak) and the North Peak (Yuntai Peak), each of them has its peculiar scene and moving legend.

The South Peak (Landing Wild Goose Peak)

Of the five main peaks, the South Peak (Landing Wild Goose Peak) is the highest at 2,160 meters (about 7,087 feet), it is also the highest peak of the Five Sacred Mountains. When traveling to the top of the peak, you will feel that you can touch the stars in the sky.

The south side of the Peak has very high cliffs standing erect as if they had been cut by an axe. The summit of the South Peak is the highest point in the sacred mountains and climbers consider it an honor to make it to the Peak. At the summit you will find the Black Dragon Pool and see the Greeting Pines on the southwest cliffs. Around the South Peak are Songhui Peak (Pine Trees and Junipers Peak) and Xiaozi Peak (Filial Son Peak). There is a famous Taoism palace called Jintian Palace, or Baidi Temple. The narrow pass, which is the plank road, is built along the cliff leading to the East Peak. The road is no more than 0.3 meters (about 1 foot) wide and runs above a very deep gorge. The stout hearted can travel this road by hanging on to a chain that is attached to the face of the cliff.

The West Peak (Lotus Flower Peak)

At 2,082 meters (about 6,831 feet) above the sea level, the West Peak is a huge granite rock. Since the big rock in front of Cuiyun Palace is shaped much like a lotus flower, it is also called Lotus Flower Peak. The West Peak is the most beautiful and dangerous peak of Mt. Huashan.

The West Peak has numerous tourist spots including Cuiyun Palace (a famous Taoism Palace), Lotus Flower Cave and Axe-hewing Rock. Each site has its own beautiful myth and legend. The legend of Chen Xiang, a filial son, who split the mountain with an axe to save his mother, is quite intriguing. A popular cartoon film called 'Lotus Lantern' was made to portray this

legend.

The East Peak (Facing Sun Peak)

With a height of 2,090 meters (about 6,857 feet), the East Peak, also called Facing Sun Peak is like a platform available for visitors to view the sun rising. In ancient times the path to the top was full of hardships and danger, but recently steps were built making it comparatively easy to reach the top.

The East Peak is the best place to watch the rising sun but you should start your climb at night if you want to see the wonderful scenery because it takes 4 to 6 hours to reach the top. There are more than ten scenic spots on the East Peak including the natural stone veins on the cliff that resemble a huge palm. The tranquil and serene environment on the top of the Peak will make you feel completely relaxed and happy.

How to Travel

By Ropeway: Yuquan Palace, a famous Quanzhen sect of Taoism Palace at the foot of Mt. Huashan, is generally the starting post to climb the mountain. 2 kilometers (about 1 mile ) east away from Yuquan Palace, there is a some 8-kilometer-long (about 5 miles) cement road to Wamiaogou where you can travel to the top of the North Peak by the ropeway. The ride up only takes about eight minutes and the cost is 60 Yuan for a one way ticket and 110 Yuan for a return ticket. The ropeway is in operation from April to October from 7:00 to 19:00, and from December to March 9:00 to 16:00.

On foot: you can start from Yuquan Palace, and go up along the path to the top of the North Peak, and from here you can go to the other four peaks. It takes about 10 hours to travel to the five main peaks on foot.
