唐大明宫遗址

Tang's Daming Palace

很漂亮吧？这就是唐大明宫遗址了。大家跟我进去吧。

“大明宫”是贞观八年（634年）唐太宗李世民为其父李渊修建的一座避暑宫殿，位于宫城东北角茶苑内的龙首原上，原名“永安宫”，次年改名为“大明宫”，亦称“蓬莱宫”，后又进行扩建。龙朔二年（662年），唐高宗李治由太极宫迁至大明宫居住和处理政务，由此，唐朝历代帝王都住在大明宫。

大明宫遗址位于西安市北郊龙首原上，创建于公元634年，是唐长安城三大宫殿之一，宫平面略呈梯形，面积约3.2平方千米。宫南部为前朝，以自南而北的含元殿、宣政殿和紫宸殿为中心组成。宫北部内庭中心为太液池。

“含元殿”是大明宫的正殿，龙朔二年（662年）建成，修筑于3米多高的龙首原上，东有翔鸾，西有栖凤二阁以及通往平地的龙尾道，这里是皇帝勤政和外朝的地方。

除了含元殿之外，还有麟德殿，这是大明宫内规模最大的宫殿，因建于高宗麟德年间而得名。这里东临太液池风景区，西近大明宫西边的九仙门，较便于大臣们出入，因而成为皇帝召见大臣、接见外国使臣和举行宴会的地方。

参观完这里我们要到今天的最后一个景点了，那就是大兴善寺。

It is very beautiful，isn't it？This is the Tang's Daming Palace.Let's enter.

The Daming Palace，put up as sponsored by Li Shimin in 634 AD，the 8th year under the reign of Zhenguan，was a summer resort for his father Li Yuan.Located on a Dragon－head Terrace over 3 meters high in a forbidden garden to the northeast of the Daming Palace，it was ori－ginally known as the Palace of Everlasting Peace and renamed the“Daming Palace”next year，which was also called the Penglai Palace.It was expanded.Li Zhi，Emperor Gaozong moved from the Taiji Palace to stay and work in the Daming Palace in 662 AD，the 2nd year under the reign of Longshuo and from then on all emperors of the Tang Dynasty lived and ruled there.

Located on the highlands of Dragon－head Terrace in the northern suburbs of Xi'an，Daming Palace was built in 634 AD and was one of the three largest palaces in Chang'an City in the Tang Dynasty. It is ladder－shaped and covers an area of 3.2square kilometers.The Front Court lies in the south of the Palace and includes Hanyuan Hall，Xuanzheng Hall and Zichen Hall from south to north.The Inner court lies in the north of the Palace with Taiye Pool in its center.

Hanyuan Hall is the main hall of the Daming Palace.Located on the Longshou Terrace，it was completed in 662 AD.It was annexed by two pavilions.The one on the east being known as the Xiangluan and that to the west the Xifeng and with a dragon－tail access leading to the ground.The hall was used by the emperor to handle his routine affairs and grant audiences to officials of foreign countries.

In addition to the Hanyuan Hall，there was another hall in the Daming Palace known as the Linde Hall，the largest one in the Daming complex.As it was built in the reigning year of Linde，the hall was named after him.Adjacent to the Taiye Pool Scenic Area in the east and bordering on the Jiuxian Gate by the west it was easily accessible and so the hall was used for granting audiences to officials and envoys from foreign lands or for holding banquets for their entertainment.

After visiting here，we will go to visit the last scenic spot today，the Daxingshan Temple.

快乐旅途

行　李

Luggage

一个商人拖着他那超大旅行袋登上飞机。在一位空中服务员的帮助下，他终于设法将旅行袋塞进了头顶上的行李箱里。

“您总是携带这么重的行李吗？”她叹息道。

“再也不会了，”那人说道，“下次，我将藏在旅行袋里，让我的同伴来买票。”

A businessman was having a tough time carrying his lumpy，oversized travel bag onto the plane.Helped by a flight attendant，he finally managed to stuff it in the overhead bin.

“Do you always carry such heavy luggage？”she sighed.

“No more，”the man said.“Next time，I will hide in the bag，and my partner will buy the ticket！”
