词,希望你能喜欢。大家好,今天我带大家去游览万里长城,我很高兴,希望大家也要保持一个愉快的心情。
现在,我们已经来到万里长城。大家请注意,不要在城墙上乱涂乱画,不要乱扔垃圾,以免给后来的游人留下不好的印象。
我来介绍一下万里长城吧!万里长城始建于公元前5世纪春秋
战国
时期,当时,诸侯国们为了防御各国互相攻打,所以修筑了万里长城。公元3世纪,秦始皇统一了中国,派蒙田率领三十万大军北击匈奴后,为了防御匈奴再次攻打秦国,所以把原来分段的长城连接起来,筑成西起临洮,东至辽东的万里长城。其后历代不断维修扩建,到公元前17世纪中叶明代末年,前后修筑了二千多年。现在的万里长城多指明代修建的长城,它西起甘肃的嘉峪关,东到辽东的鸭绿江边。其中山海关至鸭绿江边一段约长二千公里,现已全部毁坏,但山海关到嘉峪关一段,大部分仍然保存下来。城墙平均宽五米,可容五马并骑,十人并行。内侧砌成高约一点五米的矮墙,外侧砌成高约一点五米的墙垛,墙上的了望口是用来了望敌军军情的,射击眼是用来架枪和
和大炮来射击用的,排水沟和吐水嘴是用来排水的。在关口和险要的地方设有凸出的罗城,
还有供传递军情的烽火台。这些设施就在这儿,大家可以摸一摸、观察观察。
大家请沿着万里长城向前看,就会发现万里长城规模宏大。一次修筑用的砖石如果用
来修筑一道厚一米,高五米的长墙,这道长墙足以环绕地球一周而余;如果用来修筑宽五
米,厚三十五厘米的马路,那就要环绕地球三四周。如果包括历代的重修和补筑,那工程
总量就要增加许多倍了。因此,以工程的艰巨浩大,则要居世界七大奇迹之首,为世界人
民所瞩目。现以列入《世界遗产名录》,是重点保护的文物。
万里长城是人类历史上耗费人力最大,时间最久,物资最多的建筑,它是一座稀世珍
宝和艺术非凡的文物古迹,万里长城像征着中华人民的坚不可摧、永存于世的意志和力量,
是中华人民的骄傲,是整个人类的骄傲。
好了,这次旅游就到这里,再见了,万里长城。

徐星月。我们现在看到的这一段叫八达岭长城。长城建于公元前5世纪春秋代,全长六千多公里。
长城横亘中国北方辽阔的土地上,宛如一条巨龙盘旋于起伏的群山之颠,气势磅礴,庄严雄伟。那为什么要修建长城呢?原来
战国
时明灭元后,为了防止蒙古人卷古重来,从建朝第一年起,花了一百多年时间才基本完成建筑长城工程。长城非常高大坚固,是用巨大的条石和城砖筑成的。城墙顶上铺着方砖,十分平整,大约五六匹马可以并行。城墙外沿有两米多高的垛子,垛子上有两个小口,供了望和射击用。没隔三百多米就有一座方形的城台,是屯兵的堡垒,打仗时可以互相呼应。据说长城还有一个美丽的传说呢!别急,听我一一道来。孟姜女的丈夫被秦始皇抓去造长城了,为了这件事,孟姜女哭得像个泪人似的。过了几年,她丈夫没有传话给她,孟姜女决定去找丈夫。孟姜女一路上费尽了千心万苦,终于来到了长城。她找呀找,找呀找,还是没有找到丈夫,她问了工友们,工友们说:范喜良已经死了,尸首被拉去镇城脚了。孟姜女听了,一阵心酸,大哭起来,哭得天昏地暗,连天地都感动了。天越来越阴沉,风越来越猛烈,只听哗啦一声,长城倒了,范喜良的尸首露出来了。孟姜女非常伤心,纵身跳进波涛滚滚的大海。
大家一定要保护长城,给以后游览长城的人作榜样。我介绍完了,大家尽情的去玩吧!

,我姓薛,叫薛雨坤,大家可以叫我小薛。今天有幸陪大家一起参观,我非常高兴,并代表八达岭景区的导游
,对您的到来表示欢迎
,希望您能在这里度过一段美好的时光。在到长城之前,我先给大家简单介绍一下。长城是我国有名的文化遗产之一,它在我国北方辽阔的土地上蜿蜒盘旋。可以说,长城是劳动人民用血汗和智慧建筑的。
各位,现在我们就来到了着名的八达岭长城。请大家在旅游中不要乱扔果皮和纸屑,谢谢合作!好,请大家往下看,这是由两个门洞和u字形城墙组成的翁城。在翁城城墙上,内外两面都有垛口墙,可以四面御敌。
大家知道这里为什么叫八达岭吗?我来告诉大家吧,这里南通昌平、北京,北去延庆,西北往宣化、张家口。路从此分,四通八达。八达岭也因此得名。
好,我们接着往右下方看,在登城口的南侧陈列着一门大炮,名为神威大将军。这门大炮,炮身长2。85米,口径105毫米,最大射程是500多米,由此可见,当时的军工业是比较发达的。好,请大家在此合个影,半小时后,我们在北8楼集合。
各位朋友,休息过的你们是精神焕发啊!好,下面小薛就带您接着往下走。这就是北8楼,它是八达岭长城海拔最高的楼,高达888.9米,建筑也很有特色。原来我们还可以登上敌楼观山望景,很可惜,目前为了保护文物而把楼门给封了。
今日的长城,深深吸引着广大中外游客,成为了举世闻名的旅游胜地。当然,今天的旅游已经结束了,但您下次来时,一定还要找我小薛来当您

章导。今天,我要带领大家浏览世界遗产之一长城。
现在我们的车已经行驶在去长城的路上了,请大家欣赏两旁风景如画的美丽景色。
我们现在已经来到了长城,让我来为大家讲讲关于长城的资料吧!
长始始建于春秋
战国
时期,历史达2000多年,总长度达5千万米以上。今天我们所指的万里长城多指明代修建的长城,它西起甘肃的嘉峪关,东到辽宁的鸭绿江边,长635万米。大家往远处看,它像一条矫健的巨龙,越群山,经绝壁,穿草原,跨沙漠,起伏在崇山峻岭之巅。长城是一座稀世珍宝和艺术非凡的文物古迹,它像征着中华民族坚不可摧永存于世的意志和力量,是中华民族的骄傲,所有人的自豪。请大家在活动时注意安全!
现在让我为大家讲个关于长城的故事。长城起伏盘旋,纵横飞舞,延绵万里,它的一砖一石一关一城都是古代人民工程技术和建筑艺术的结晶,是血汗与智慧的凝洁。龙化身为长城的督造,在修建最险要的鹰飞倒仰十八蹬时,屡建屡塌。百般无奈,寻找童贞女子祭城。凤化身为村姑九莲自愿献身。为建长城,龙与凤再次经历生离死别。龙在九莲献祭的长城墙基下得到了象征土的玉佩。
毛主席笔下曾经写了一首赞扬长城的诗,现在就让我为大家
朗诵
一下:清平乐六盘山
毛泽东
天高云淡,
望断南飞燕。
不到长城非好汉,
屈指行程二万。
六盘山上高峰,
红旗漫卷西风。
今日长缨在手,
何时缚苍龙?
这首诗是为了感慨长城宏伟的气势而写的。
今天的观光浏览就要结束了,在长城的这段时光希望能成为您北京之旅中的永恒记忆。
温州市蒲鞋市小学(龟湖校区)四年级:章嫣恬
悬壁长城古称断壁长城,位于嘉峪关关城以北、石关坪口北侧的黑山东坡,是肃州西长城的北端。石关峡口是古代通往西域的一处隘口,素以天险著称。这段长城因城墙自山上陡跌而下,在山脊上如长城倒挂,铁壁悬空,向下伸展封锁了石关峡口而得名。悬壁长城又被人们称为"西部八达岭"。
悬壁长城原长1.5公里,始建于明嘉靖十八年(公元1539年),完成于嘉靖十九年(公元1540年)。建长城所用的材料是就地取的石片和黄土,分层垒砌而成,叫做石片夹沙墙。现存这段长城长750米,从戈壁蜿蜒伸向陡峭险竣的黑山山腰,险峻处如攀绝壁。
( · · ·)
悬壁长城曾于1987年重修,并在墙头增筑垛墙和宇墙,首尾各添一墩台,为便于游人攀登,还在首墩和山坡上修筑了台阶式墁首。
大家好,今天我带大家去游览万里长城,我很高兴,希望大家也要保持一个愉快的心情。
现在,我们已经来到万里长城。大家请注意,不要在城墙上乱涂乱画,不要乱扔垃圾,以免给后来的游人留下不好的印象。

(金山岭长城停车场)
朋友们:你们好!
现在展现在我们面前的,就是闻名中外的金山岭长城。有人说,要看长城之长,上金山岭;要看长城之雄伟,也上金山岭。此话十分有道理。
现在我们所处的位置,在河北省滦平县境内。金山岭长城是北京密云县与河北滦平县的交界线。它西起龙峪口,东到望京楼,全长10.5公里,沿线设有大小关隘5处,67座敌楼,2座烽火台,1988年1月被国务院公布为全国重点文物保护单位。1991年它被国家定为一级旅游景点、国家级风景区。
(停车场至砖垛口的道上)
金山岭长城,始建于北齐,那时为土石结构,单调低矮。十五世纪中叶,明王朝国力由强转弱,北方蒙古族鞑靼、朵颜等各部乘机南侵,京都受到威胁,于是
明朝
廷决定重修这一段在军事上有重大意义的长城。隆庆元年(公元1567年)明穆宗把抗倭名将戚继光由闽浙调到北方戍边,任命为蓟州总兵。戚继光率部队士兵与当地民夫,对东起山海关、西至镇边(昌平县境),1000公里的原有长城,普遍进行了改建和重建。边墙城体加宽加高,要冲地段修筑双层的城墙。又在全线修筑1000多座高大坚固的敌楼(又叫敌台或空心敌台)。在戚继光任职的十四年间,就基本完成了这一浩大的工程。在后来的数十年里,明王朝又不断地调兵选将,加以修缮,使它形成一道城墙高峙,战垒林立,能守能攻的坚固防线。金山岭长城,就是其中最突出的一段。这段长城及所属设施都是砖石结构,气势雄伟,旧貌依然。经专家鉴定,是我国万里长城的精华之所在。明朝
时这里战事不少。近一个世纪,也有大的战事发生。1933年,东北军张学良的部队,曾经在这里与日本侵略军进行过多次激烈战斗。1948年夏天,北京解放前夕,解放军进攻古北口没有成功。然后改从砖垛口,龙峪口等长城上的关口突破,包抄古北口国民党守军的营地,很快歼灭了敌军,打开了古北口通道。导游

朋友们再来,来金山岭旅游、度假、探险、考察……
the great wall, like the pyramids of egypt, the taj mahal(1) in india and the hanging garden of babylon(2), is one of the great wonders of the world. starting out in the east on the banks of the yalu river in liaoning province, the wall stretches westwards for 12,700 kilometers to jiayuguan in the gobi desert, thus known as the ten thousand li wall in china. the wall climbs up and down, twists and turns along the ridges of the yanshan and yinshan mountain chains through five provinces-liaoning, hebei, shanxi, shaanxi, and gansu--and two autonomous regions--ningxia and inner mongolia, binding the northern china together.
historical records trace the construction of the origin of the wall to defensive fortification back to the year 656 b.c. during the reign of king cheng of the states of chu. its construction continued throughout the warring states period in the fifth century b.c. when ducal states yan, zhao, wei, and qin were frequently plundered by the nomadic peoples living north of the yinshan and yanshan mountain ranges. walls, then, were built separately by these ducal states to ward off such harassments. later in 221 b.c., when qin conquered the other states and unified china, emperor qinshihuang ordered the connection of these inspanidual walls and further extensions to form the basis of the present great wall. as a matter of fact, a separate outer wall was constructed north of the yinshan range in the han dynasty(206 bc--1644 bc.), which went to ruin through years of neglect. in the many intervening centuries, succeeding dynasties rebuilt parts of the wall. the most extensive reinforcements and renovations were carried out in the ming dynasty (1368--1644) when altogether 18 lengthy stretches were reinforced with bricks and rocks. it is mostly the ming dynasty wall that visitors see today. the great wall is spanided into two sections, the east and west, with shanxi province as the spaniding line. the west part is a rammed earth construction, about 5.3 meters high on average. in the eastern part, the core of the wall is rammed earth as well, but the outer shell is reinforced with bricks and rocks. the most imposing and best preserved sections of the great wall are at badaling and mutianyu, not far from beijing and both are open to visitors. the wall of those sections is 7.8 meters high and 6.5 meters wide at its base, narrowing to 5.8 meters on the ramparts, wide enough for five horses to gallop abreast. there are ramparts, embrasures, peep-holes and apertures for archers on the top, besides gutters with gargoyles to drain rain-water off the parapet walk. two-storied watch-towers are built at approximately 400-meters internals. the top stories of the watch-tower were designed for observing enemy movements, while the first was used for storing grain, fodder, military equipment and gunpowder as well as for quartering garrison soldiers. the highest watch-tower at badaling standing on a hill-top, is reached only after a steep climb, like "climbing a ladder to heaven". the view from the top is rewarding, hoverer. the wall follows the contour of mountains that rise one behind the other until they finally fade and merge with distant haze. a signal system formerly existed that served to communicate military information to the dynastic capital. this consisted of beacon towers on the wall itself and on mountain tops within sight of the wall. at the approach of enemy troops, smoke signals gave the alarm from the beacon towers in the daytime and bonfire did this at night.
emergency signals could be relayed to the capital from distant places within a few hour long before the invention of anything like modern communications. there stand 14 major passes (guan, in chinese) at places of strategic importance along the great wall, the most important being shanghaiguan and jiayuguan. yet the most impressive one is juyongguan, about 50 kilometers northwest of beijing. known as "tian xia di yi guan" (the first pass under heaven), shanghaiguan pass is situated between two sheer cliffs forming a neck connecting north china with the northeast. it had been, therefore, a key junction contested by all strategists and many famous battles were fought here. it was the gate of shanghaiguan that the ming general wu sangui opened to the manchu army to suppress the peasant rebellion led by li zicheng and so surrendered the whole ming empire to the manchus, leading to the foundation of the qing dynasty. (1644-1911) jiayuguan pass was not so much as the "strategic pass under the heaven" as an important communication center in chinese history. cleft between the snow-capped qilian mountains and the rolling mazong mountains, it was on the ancient silk road. zhang qian, the first envoy of emperor wu di of the western han dynasty (206 b.c-24 a.d), crossed it on his journey to the western regions. later, silk flowed to the west through this pass too. the gate-tower of jiayuguan is an attractive building of excellent workmanship. it has an inner city and an outer city, the former square in shape and surrounded by a wall 11.7 meters high and 730 meters in circumference. it has two gates, an eastern one and a western one. on each gate sits a tower facing each other. the four corners of the wall are occupied by four watch towers, one for each. juyongguan, a gateway to ancient beijing from inner mongolia, was built in a 15-kilometer long ravine flanked by mountains. the cavalrymen of genghis khan swept through it in the 13th century. at the center of the pass is a white marble platform named the cloud terrace, which was called the crossing-street dagoba, since its narrow arch spanned the main street of the pass and on the top of the terrace there used to be three stone dagobas, built in the yuan daynasty(1206-1368). at the bottom of the terrace is a half-octagonal arch gateway, interesting for its wealth of detail: it is decorated with splendid images of buddha and four celestial guardians carved on the walls. the vividness of their expressions is matched by the exquisite workmanship. such grandiose relics works, with several stones pieced together, are rarely seen in ancient chinese carving. the gate jambs bear a multi-lingual buddhist sutra, carved some 600 years ago in sanskrit(3), tibetan, mongolian, uigur(4), han chinese and the language of western xia. undoubtedly, they are valuable to the study of buddhism and ancient languages. as a cultural heritage, the wall belongs not only to china but to the world. the venice charter says: "historical and cultural architecture not only includes the inspanidual architectural works, but also the urban or rural environment that witnessed certain civilizations, significant social developments or historical events." the great wall is the largest of such historical and cultural architecture, and that is why it continues to be so attractive to people all over the world. in 1987, the wall was listed by unesco as a world cultural heritage site. 共2页,当前第1页1

there stand 14 major passes (guan, in chinese) at places of strategic importance along the great wall, the most important being shanghaiguan and jiayuguan. yet the most impressive one is juyongguan, about 50 kilometers northwest of beijing.
known as "tian xia di yi guan" (the first pass under heaven), shanghaiguan pass is situated between two sheer cliffs forming a neck connecting north china with the northeast. it had been, therefore, a key junction contested by all strategists and many famous battles were fought here. it was the gate of shanghaiguan that the ming general wu sangui opened to the manchu army to suppress the peasant rebellion led by li zicheng and so surrendered the whole ming empire to themanchus, leading to the foundation of the qing dynasty.

在中国众多的寺庙中,山西恒山的悬空寺称得上是奇妙的建筑。一般寺庙都建在平地上,但这座悬空寺却是名副其实,建在悬崖峭壁上,悬在半空之中。 其设计思想真绝,其建筑艺术真高。
悬空寺位于山西省浑源县,是在悬崖上凿洞,插入木梁,寺的一部分建筑就架在这一根根木梁之上,另一部分则利用突出的岩石作为它的基础。游人在远处见不到这些木梁,却见到不少细木斜顶住寺的底层。游人会想:这些颤颤悠悠的木柱能顶得住这样一座寺庙吗?当人们仔细观察,发现承受重量的除了木柱外,还有那些插入岩石的巨大木梁后,对古代匠师的智慧,不得不由衷地发出感叹和敬佩了。悬空寺始建于北魏后期,距今约1400年。历代都重修,但原来的结构都没有改变。
前人介绍悬空寺,概括为:“面对恒山,背倚翠屏;上载危岩,下临深谷; 凿石为基,就岩起屋;结构惊险,造型奇特。”
进寺后,有楼梯可攀登上楼,这里并不显得多么惊险,但当你在楼上,沿着紧贴在崖壁的通道,由南往北走,通过一条栈道,走到北边的那座三层三檐的楼阁时,就会发现这里地势已相当高。往上望,“上载危岩”;往下看,“下临深谷”,脚下的楼板又有晃动的感觉,真是惊心动魄,惊险之至。 建在崖壁上的殿堂进深都较小,殿内的塑像形体也相对缩小,但比例适度,表情丰富,很有艺术价值。寺中共有殿堂40余处,都是木结构,其位置部署,对称中有变化,分散中有联络。游人们在廊栏间行走,如如迷宫,甚至会找不到出路。这正是其建筑构思的一个特色,既不呆板,又不零乱,给人以曲折玄妙之感。该文章由(第一§范┆文网)整理;
在寺的栈道石壁上,刻有“公输天巧”四个大字,赞赏悬空寺的建造技艺。公输就是鲁班,也叫公输班,春秋
战国
时代人,被认为是建筑工匠的祖师爷。这四个字是说,这座建筑物简直是鲁班那样巧夺天工的匠师所为。
