　　Jingzhou Ancient City is also known as Jiangling city. It is one of thefamous historical and cultural cities in China. It is adjacent to Shashi in theSouth and the Yangtze River. The city wall hovers in the light and color of thelake, undulating according to the terrain, winding along the lake and extendinglike a dragon. The majestic ancient city has a history of more than 20__ years.Since the Qin and Han Dynasties, it has a towering outline. After five dynastiesand Ten Kingdoms, it began to build a brick city, which was destroyed andrepaired in song, yuan and Ming Dynasties. The well preserved ancient city wallwas built by Yiming city wall in 1646 ad. in recent years, many new scenic spotshave been built inside and outside the wall.

　　We all know the story of Liu Bei crying in Jingzhou and Guan Gong losingJingzhou in romance of the Three Kingdoms. This is "a place for militarystrategists." Jingzhou, the capital of China. This famous cultural city islocated in the west of the vast and rich Jianghan Plain. In the Han Dynasty, thewhole country was divided into 36 states, which got its name because of Jingshanin the north. After the Eastern Jin Dynasty, several emperors built theircapitals here, making this city an important place for the successive dynastiesto garrison troops and set up their offices.

　　Jingzhou City, located in the meeting of the rivers and lakes, is a hubconnecting the water and land transportation in the southeast, northwest andnorthwest. It has fertile land, mild climate and rich specialties. It was alsoone of the important commercial centers in China. In the Western Han Dynasty, itranked first among the five southern counties.

　　Jingzhou is one of the nine prefectures (Ji, Gung, Qing, Yang, Jing, Yu,Liang, Yong) established by Dayu in ancient times when he controlled the flood.It got its name from Jingshan in that time. After the Three Kingdoms period,Jingzhou City has always been a place of governance at the state and countylevel, and some even established their capital here.

　　The ancient city of Jingzhou is divided into three layers, water cityoutside, brick city in the middle and earth city inside. It is said that inorder to prevent the foundation of the city from sinking and flooding, glutinousrice slurry was poured into the stone crevice at the foot of the right city, sothe city wall was particularly strong. It is said that Guan Yunchang, thegeneral of Shu in the Three Kingdoms, was guarding Jingzhou when nine fairiescame down to earth. It's said that Jingzhou's swordsmen have moved too much, sothey should be taken back and placed in God's land, and no mortals are allowedto fight for them. Guan Gong was loyal to his brother and refused to letJingzhou, so he thought of a plan, saying: "you are in the northwest, I am inthe southeast, each building a city, the city is a thousand steps on Friday, itstarts at dark, the crowing of chickens stops, who builds first, who managesthis place. The nine fairies used their clothes to cover the earth, and GuanGong cut reeds to build the city. Guangong city is just a corner away from thenine fairies City, and the chickens are not crowing yet. Guan Gong vibrates thechicken cage and the reed mat, the rooster crows, and the nine fairies go toheaven in shame. This is the origin of jiunvzhuo outside the north gate ofJingzhou City. It's also said that Zhang Fei also carried the earth to help hissecond brother build the city. But when he came late, he dumped the earthoutside the east gate. Nowadays, people call these two hills like Earth "ZhangFei Yidan earth". These are all myths and legends. However, in order to guardagainst the eastern Wu Dynasty, Guan Gong built a new city next to the old cityin the Han Dynasty, which has historical records.

　　Ten li north of Jingzhou is the site of the largest city in southern Chinaduring the spring and Autumn period and Warring States period. The state of Chuhad 20 kings who built their capitals here in 411. The ancient city is rich inChu culture on the ground, underground, inside and outside the city. You caneasily find tiles and pottery from more than 20__ years ago here.

　　In the ancient city of Jingzhou, there are some historical sites related tothe Three Kingdoms, such as the big iron pot and manger for Guan Gong's March,and the throwing armour mountain for Lu Meng's troops when he attacked Jingzhou.Outside the city, there are many sites related to the legend of Guanyu of theThree Kingdoms in Baling mountain. We stepped down from luomaotai at the southend of Baling mountain, headed for the mountain, passed through layers of pineforest, and came to Guangong pianquan. According to the inscription beside thespring, "when Liu Xian was trapped in Dangyang, Guan Gong led his teacher tosave him. Through this way, people and horses were trapped, and a sense ofloyalty and righteousness gushed out. It has been recited to this day." Now, thewater of this spring is either for the tea pavilion to make tea for tourists, orfor the winery to make wine for guests.

　　With a long history, Jingzhou has left innumerable antiquities. Now thereare more than 3000 preserved in Jingzhou Museum. Gou Jian, the king of Yue, isfamous for his work. His sword was unearthed in the north of Jingzhou in 1965.There are eight characters on the sword: "King Gou Jian of Yue, self actingsword". The sword body is full of diamond pattern, inlaid with tricolor glassand turquoise. The blade is extremely sharp. It can still blow hair and cut ironlike mud.

　　Due to the reason of going to school, I came to this ancient city. AlthoughJingzhou can't compare with the big cities like Beijing and Shanghai, it has itsunique charm. In Jingzhou, the most common one is its ancient city wall. Thereare seven gates, and the whole city is surrounded by the city wall. In March,spring flowers bloom, riding bicycles together, facing the warm spring breeze,leaving our youth at the foot of the city wall, Also leave us good memories!

　　Jingzhou also has many famous scenic spots: Peach Blossom Island, JingzhouYangtze River Swan Island Baiji National Nature Reserve, longevity pagoda,spring and Autumn Pavilion, Jinfeng take-off, Three Kingdoms Park, JingzhouMuseum and so on. Now is a good time to go to Taohua village. Enjoying farm foodand watching peach blossoms, I feel very happy. Far away from the noise of thecity, I feel like I have come to a paradise!

　　Good morning, ladies and gentlemen!

　　Today we will visit the famous ancient city of Jingzhou.

　　"Hearing about the Three Kingdoms, I want to go to Jingzhou every time.".When you mention Jingzhou, you will naturally think of the famous stories of theThree Kingdoms in the romance of the Three Kingdoms, such as Liu Bei's borrowingJingzhou, Lu Su's attacking Jingzhou, Lu Meng's attacking Jingzhou, and GuanYu's losing Jingzhou. Of the 120 chapters of the romance of the Three Kingdoms,72 chapters involve Jingzhou. For thousands of years, there has been an endlessstream of people who have come to Jingzhou to inquire about the history of theThree Kingdoms. As your on-the-spot tour guide, I am very honored to take thisopportunity to show you the historical picture of the evolution and developmentof Jingzhou Ancient City over the past two thousand years.

　　We are now at the east gate of Jingzhou City. The river tens of meters widein front of you is the moat. During the war, it was a natural barrier againstthe enemy's attack. Now, on this river, a grand International Dragon BoatInvitational race is held every year. Before entering the city, let me firstintroduce the historical background of the ancient city of Jingzhou.

　　Jingzhou City, also known as Jiangling city. At present, Jingzhou is themost complete ancient city in southern China, and it is also one of the 24famous historical and cultural cities announced by the State Council in 1982. In1996, Jingzhou Ancient City Wall was announced as a national key cultural relicsprotection unit by the State Council. In 20__, Jingzhou City, with JingzhouAncient City as the center, was named as China's excellent tourist city by theNational Tourism Administration.

　　Looking back on the history of Jingzhou, we can say that it is closelyconnected with the 5000 year history of Chinese civilization. As we all know,the Chinese nation is a descendant of the Yellow Emperor. After the YellowEmperor and the Yan Emperor's tribes merged and unified China, Jingzhou was oneof the ancient Kyushu.

　　The name of "Jingzhou" can be found in the book "Shangshu? Yugong" in theWarring States period, which states that "Jingzhou and Hengyang only exist inJingzhou". At that time, the area of Jingzhou was very large, and the state ofChu in the spring and autumn and Warring States period rose in Jingzhou.According to historical records, in the eighth year of King Zhouzhuang (689 BC),King Wen of Chu moved the capital city to Ji'nan City, which is five kilometersnorth of Jingzhou. The state of Chu established its capital here for 411 years.It experienced 20 kings before and after that, creating a Chu culture that is asimportant as the Central Plains culture in the Yellow River Valley, andcomparable to the ancient Greek and Roman culture. It is said that during thereign of King Cheng of Chu (671-525 B.C.), in order to enjoy the beautifulscenery of the Yangtze River, he built many palaces and palace boat docks inJingzhou City, which are the rudiments of today's Jingzhou City. In the 29thyear of King Zhao of Qin Dynasty (278 BC), Bai Qi, a famous general of Qinstate, led his troops to attack the state of Chu and occupied the area betweenJianghan and Han. Then Qin established Nanjun in the capital of Chu, which wasone of the 36 counties in China at that time. Later, the Qin Dynasty establishedJiangling County in today's Jingzhou City, which is called "Jiangling" becauseit is close to the river and there are no mountains near the state. In 106 BC,Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty established the Department of Cishi in Jingzhou,one of the thirteen prefectures in China. Since then, Jingzhou has become thename of administrative division.

　　Since the Qin and Han Dynasties, Jingzhou has become an important place forthe successive dynasties to establish their own government. It has always been aplace of governance at the state and county level, and some dynasties evenestablished their capitals and states here. During the Three Kingdoms period,this place was an important place for hegemony. Sun and Liu united to defeatCao's army in the first battle of Chibi, so Liu Bei borrowed Jingzhou from SunQuan the next year and developed the power of Shu on this basis. Since then,Emperor an in the late Eastern Jin Dynasty, Emperor Qihe, Emperor Liangyuan andEmperor houliangxuan in the Southern Dynasty, King Houliang in the Sui Dynasty,and King Nanping in the late Tang Dynasty, Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms, etc.successively, there have been 11 disputed princes who claimed to be emperors(kings) and established their capitals here for more than 100 years. In TangDynasty, Jingzhou was the auxiliary capital, called "Nanjun", which echoed thenorth and south of Chang'an city. After the establishment of the Song Dynasty,Jiangling mansion was set up here. In the early Yuan Dynasty, Jiangling mansionwas changed to Shanglu mansion. In the early Ming Dynasty, Jingzhou Prefecturewas established. In Qing Dynasty, the system of Ming Dynasty was adopted. In theRepublic of China, Jingzhou was the fourth administrative capital of HubeiProvince. After the founding of the people's Republic of China, Jingzhou Citywas the seat of Jingzhou regional Commissioner Office and Jiangling CountyPeople's government. In 1994, the former Jingzhou area and Shashi City merged toform Jingsha City, which was renamed Jingzhou City in 1997. Jingzhou City is theseat of Jingzhou District of six counties and two districts of JingzhouCity.

　　Jingzhou City is located in the middle of the world. The meeting of therivers and lakes has always been a place for military strategists. Zhuge Liangonce said, "Jingzhou is a country of military use, which is based on the HanDynasty and Mianyang in the north, the South China Sea in the East, Wu and Huiin the East, and Ba and Shu in the West.". Li Gu, the prime minister famous forhis uprightness and loyalty in the Han Dynasty, Guan Yu, Zhou Yu, Lu Meng and LuXun, the famous generals of the Three Kingdoms, and Ma taokan, the great masterof literature and martial arts in the Jin Dynasty, once guarded Jingzhou; XieLingyun and Bao Zhao, the poets of Jin Dynasty, Zhang Jiuling and ZhangCambodian, the Kaiming prime ministers of Tang Dynasty, Han Yu and Yuan Zhen,the great literary scholars, and Wang Anshi, the great statesman of SongDynasty, have also held different positions in Jingzhou. In addition, many majorpeasant uprisings in the past dynasties also took Jingzhou as an importanttarget, such as Wang Kuang and Wang Feng in the late Western Han Dynasty, HuangChao in the late Tang Dynasty, Chen Youliang in the late Yuan Dynasty, LiZicheng and Zhang Xianzhong in the late Ming Dynasty.

　　In addition to being a military important place, the economy and culture ofancient Jingzhou City were also very active and prosperous. Due to itsconvenient transportation, fertile land, mild climate and rich products, it hasdeveloped into one of the top ten commercial centers in China as early as theWestern Han Dynasty, ranking first among the five southern counties. In thenorthern and Southern Dynasties, it became "the first city in the middle reachesof the Yangtze River", as well as Yangzhou, a famous commercial city in thelower reaches of the Yangtze River. Although it was once destroyed in the war inthe Western Wei Dynasty, it gradually returned to prosperity in the middle TangDynasty, and its scale was about ten times as large as before. Therefore,Jingzhou City was regarded as the "companion capital" at that time, and was alsoknown as Chang'an and Luoyang.

　　Jingzhou is the center of Chu culture, the music and dance nation of"Chutian" and enjoys the reputation of "only Chu has talent". For thousands ofyears, the culture here has been prosperous and talents have come forth in largenumbers, including Qu Yuan, a famous patriotic poet of Chu state, cen Shen, afamous frontier poet of Tang Dynasty, and Zhu LAN, a "xiaowanjuan" of SongDynasty. In the political arena, the prime ministers coming out of Jingzhouinclude Liu Wei and Duan Wenchang of Tang Dynasty, CEN Zhiben, cen Changqing andCen Xi. The most famous prime minister is Zhang Juzheng of Ming Dynasty. Headvocated abolishing bad politics and developing economy. He played a positiverole at that time and was respected by later generations. At the same time, thebeautiful natural scenery and profound cultural heritage of Jingzhou City havealso attracted many well-known scholars of all ages to visit, sing poems andmeet friends, Sima Qian of Han Dynasty, Wang can and Tao Yuanming of Wei, Jin,southern and Northern Dynasties, Wang Wei, Meng Haoran, Li Bai, Du Fu, Liu Yuxi,Li Shangyin and Du Mu of Tang Dynasty, Su Shi and Lu You of Song Dynasty, YuanHongdao and Wang Shizhen of Ming and Qing Dynasty He has visited Jingzhou Cityand left a large number of excellent poems and essays, among which the mostfamous one is the quatrains in Li Bai's poem xiajiangling, which says "when theemperor leaves the White Emperor, the Jiangling will return in a day".

　　Well, having said so much, we must have a better understanding of the pastof Jingzhou Ancient City. Now let's go to see what Jingzhou City looks like.Please follow me along the sidewalk on the right side to the city. On the leftside is the horse road. If you pay attention to it, you will find that there areinscriptions on the bricks of the horse road. These are the preciousinscriptions on the walls of the ancient city of Jingzhou. They record the longhistory of the construction of Jingzhou city wall and reflect the changes of theadministrative areas under the jurisdiction of Jingzhou It is of great value tothe study of history.

　　It is said that in the Han Dynasty, Jingzhou had a regular city wall. After12 times of maintenance and expansion, the city became more solid andmagnificent, including Guan Yu, the general of Shu, Zhu ran, the general of Wu,Huan Wen, the governor of Jingzhou in the Eastern Jin Dynasty, and Liang Yuandi.According to historical records, the first brick wall of Jingzhou was built inthe period of Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms. In 912 ad, Gao Jixing, the Jieduenvoy of Southern Jingzhou, used more than 100000 soldiers and civilians tooverhaul the brick wall of Jingzhou for the purpose of seizing Jingzhou as aking. If there were not enough bricks to build the city, he ordered to dig outtomb bricks everywhere, and all the tombs within 50 Li were excavated. It issaid that after the completion of the city wall, countless phosphorescent lightswill appear on the wall every night, which looks like "ghost fire" and makespeople creepy. At the end of the Northern Song Dynasty, the city wall wasdestroyed because of the "Jingkang" war. In the Southern Song Dynasty, in orderto appease Shi Zhaoxiong and strengthen the defense of Jingzhou, Emperorshangzou Chunxi approved the construction of the brick wall in 1187. Within 11months, the brick wall was rebuilt, and more than 1000 Battle Towers were builton the wall. This time, the bricks were "special city bricks" ordered by thegovernment. There was an inscription on the bricks, but there was no record ofthe year. Later, Yuanbing captured Jingzhou City, and Kublai Khan ordered thatthe city wall be demolished. After the establishment of the Ming Dynasty, ZhuYuanzhang restored the foundation again and excavated moats around the city. Atthe end of Ming Dynasty, after Zhang Xianzhong led the peasant uprising army toattack Jingzhou City, the city wall was demolished by the angry volunteers.Until the third year of Shunzhi (1646 AD), the city wall was built on the oldfoundation for the third time, which is the ancient city wall of Jingzhou. Theconstruction of the city is very strong. In order to prevent the city wall fromsinking due to water erosion, all the footings of the city wall are built withstone barriers, and the walls are filled with lime and glutinous rice mortar.Although the city wall was destroyed three times and built three times, andafter more than 300 years of cold and heat in spring and autumn, it is still ingood condition. After the founding of new China, the state and local governmentshave focused on the protection of the ancient city of Jingzhou. They havetransformed, renovated, repaired and expanded the city and its surroundingenvironment, built the inner ring road and the outer ring road, dredged andmanaged the moat, and built Fenghuang square and Tianwen square outside the eastgate and the new north gate respectively, making the ancient city of Jingzhoumore beautiful, magnificent and spectacular The old and fresh face of JingzhouCity seen by heaven.

　　In addition, according to experts' research, so far, the earliest characterbrick with year number found on Jingzhou City Wall was found in the second yearof Hongwu in Ming Dynasty (1369 A.D.), which has a history of more than 600years. This brick is 207 years earlier than the character brick of Wanli yearfound on the Great Wall reported by Xinhua news agency. What's more amazing isthat according to the records of the written bricks, these bricks were not onlyfrom Jianghan Plain, but also from other places in the province and other placesoutside the province, such as Hunan, Shaanxi, Jiangxi, etc., which shows thehuge scale of the city building project at that time. Ancient city building alsoreflects the idea of quality management. The detailed or simple responsibilityinscriptions left by the construction or maintenance of the city walls in thepast dynasties are actually a kind of public responsibility. In addition torecording the time and place of brick making, there are also detailedinscriptions on the supervisor, brick maker, kiln maker, brick making expenses,the name of the undertaker and the local officials in charge. It can be seenthat during the construction of Jingzhou city wall at that time, the practice of"mobilizing the whole people, working from top to bottom, clear division oflabor, and responsibility to people" was adopted. The reason why Jingzhou hasbeen known as "the iron Jingzhou" in ancient times is inseparable from this"responsibility system". This is what we need to learn from the sages today.

　　If you observe these character bricks carefully, you will find that thereare both yin and Yang inscriptions, and both yin and Yang inscriptions in theway of writing; there are both running script and regular script in the way ofcalligraphy; there are both traditional and simplified characters in the way ofwriting. Therefore, these character bricks have important artistic researchvalue, which is worthy of further development and utilization.

　　Now, we have boarded the East Gate Tower, looking out from the fence, andthinking about Guan Yu's years, when she was young and bearded, holding thegreen dragon Yanyue sword, did you also have a strong heart to experience thepride of "one man is in charge of the pass, ten thousand men are not allowed toopen it"?

　　From the aerial view, Jingzhou City Wall is like a swimming dragon,stretching in the lake and marsh, in an irregular oval shape. The whole citywall is 3.75 km long from east to west, 1.2 km wide from north to south, 10.5 kmin circumference, and covers an area of 4.5 square kilometers. The wall is 8.83meters high, the top is 3 to 5 meters wide, and the base is about 10 meterswide. There are 4567 battlements, 26 fortresses and 4 Zang Bing Dong on thewall. These are the ancient war defense attack tools.

　　There are six gates in the ancient city of Jingzhou, two in the northeastand one in the southwest. The name of the east gate is Yin bin gate, the name ofthe small east gate is gong'an gate, the name of the big north gate is Gong Jigate, also known as Liu gate, the name of the small north gate is Yuan'an gate,the name of the south gate is Nan Ji gate, and the name of the west gate is anLAN gate. The name of each gate has something to do with the geography, historyand customs of Jingzhou. For example, Xiaodongmen, Liu Bei changed youjiangkouto gong'an, married Mrs. sun and went back to Jingzhou by boat. At this gate, hegot off the boat and landed in Jingzhou City, so it was named gong'an; Anotherexample is the Great North gate. In ancient times, there was a road leading toKyoto in the north of the city. When officials moved and transferred, they allwent out of this gate. When officials and friends saw each other off, they brokethe willows and gave them away. Therefore, it is also called liumen. Accordingto historical records, since the Han Dynasty, it has become a custom forrelatives and friends to give each other a gift when they leave. The reason isthat "Liu" is the homonym of "Liu", and "Liu" means "retention" and "nostalgia".In addition to the small east gate, the other five gates all have a gate, whichis a double gate. There is an urn between the two gates. Each double gate isequipped with a wooden opposite door, and there is a 10 cm thick gate inside thewooden gate to prevent water damage. In addition, there were gate towers on thesix gates. The East Gate Tower was called Binyang tower, the small East GateTower was called Wangjiang tower, the big north gate tower was called Jinglongtower, the small North Gate Tower was called Chaozong tower, the South GateTower was called Qujiang tower, and the west gate tower was called Jiuyangtower. Due to the change of dynasties, historical changes, and the destructionof war, the original gate tower except Jinglong tower on the big north gate wasin the 18th year of Daoguang reign of Qing Dynasty( That is, in 1838 A.D., itwas rebuilt and preserved until now. The Binyang building in the east gate,where we are now, was rebuilt in the 1980s with funds from the state in order todevelop Jingzhou tourism, repair and protect the ancient city of Jingzhou.

　　There are also some historical sites scattered around Jingzhou, which arealso places worth visiting. For example, Kaiyuan Temple, Xuanmiao temple, tienutemple, Confucian temple, Guandi Temple inside the city, Taihui temple outsidethe city, Guangong dianjiangtai, zhangfei yidantu and so on. In addition to thecity wall and these historical relics, it is difficult to see ancient buildingsin Jingzhou City, instead of rows of tall buildings large building. As time goeson, the streets and alleys in Jingzhou City in the past have been replaced bywide roads, forming a crisscross and orderly road network. In order to meet theneeds of modern means of transportation, three new city gates suitable forpublic transport have been built on the walls of the East, South and North,making the city gate of Jingzhou today nine. The ancient city of Jingzhou isfull of modern atmosphere. The commercial atmosphere is very strong. Thelarge-scale shopping malls include Jingzhou shopping mall, Jingzhou departmentstore, Jingzhou Hualian Shopping Mall, Jingzhou Chutian building, etc. there areall kinds of goods in these shopping malls.

However, the aristocraticgroup headed by Zheng Xiu, the empress of the south, envied Qu Yuan and opposedthe reform. They tried their best to slander him and exiled him. At this time,Qu Yuan was about 30 years old.

　　After leaving Beijing, Qu Yuan was on his way to Jiangnan. When the Qin andWei dynasties attacked Chu, King Huai thought of Qu Yuan and sent someone toretrieve him. King Huai ordered him to go out of Qi for the second time to unitewith Qi to fight against Qin. With his own talent and eloquence, he convincedKing Xuan of Qi at one stroke. However, Zhang Yi colluded with empress nanhou toslander Qu Yuan again. King Huai was furious and changed him to Sanlu doctor,who was in charge of the affairs related to the three surnames of the royalfamily, and was responsible for genealogy, sacrifice and education. Although hisposition was high, he could not meet the king. When King Huai went out of Qin toattend the appointment, Qu Yuan, with a haggard face, knelt down on the side ofthe road and cried. Instead, he was pushed to the ground by Jin Shang, atraitor, and drove away. As a result, King Huai was detained, imprisoned forthree years, and died in the state of Qin. At that time, Qu Yuan was 42 yearsold.

　　When Qu Yuan heard that the coffin of King Huai had returned, he went toBeijing to help the coffin and wept bitterly. He advised King Xiang to break thefriendship with Qin. King Xiang was moved but didn't go. Instead, he married thedaughter of King Qin and accepted the thief as his father. Qu Yuan tried hisbest to see him, but met Zi Lan at the gate of the palace. He angrily scolded ZiLan. The next day, Zilan tried his best to Qu Yuan to the king of Xiang. In arage, the king of Xiang dismissed him as a doctor of Sanlu and exiled him toJiangnan for a long time. He was more than 50 years old.

　　Qu Yuan left Yingdu and went down along the Yangtze River. He was full ofgrief, anger and sorrow, so he wrote Lisao. He wrote "evocation of soul" in hiswandering, and set up a spirit throne to recite the poem to offer sacrifices toHuai Wang. After that, I went to Dongting and against the Yuan River and livedin the hometown of canggang in Hanshou for a long time. During this period, hewalked around by the river and lake every day, chanting poems alone. He wasyellow and thin and haggard. One day, I met a fisherman on the Bank of CanglangRiver and talked with each other, so I wrote fisherman. Later, when he left homeand went to Xiangshui, the Qin army broke Yingdu. Hearing the news, he was moreworried about the country and the people, and his heart was burning. He wrotethe last poem Huaisha, which showed that he was determined to stick to hisloyalty and unyielding. On May 5, he sank himself into the Guluo river. At theage of 62, the people in canggang, his hometown, immediately went to Guluo tocollect the corpse when they heard that Qu Yuan had thrown himself into theriver, and threw the wrapped rice dumplings into the river to prevent the fishdragon from injuring the corpse. Every year, it became the traditional custom ofdragon boat race and zongzi.

　　In 1953, on the 5th day of the fifth lunar month, China carried outextensive activities to commemorate Qu Yuan. In September of the same year, theworld peace council held a meeting to commemorate Qu Yuan and called on peopleall over the world to learn from him.

　　Qu Yuan created 25 songs of Chu, of which 23 were written in his hometowncanggang. Lisao is a masterpiece of Chinese poetry. It is also a world-famousepic, translated into the language of many countries. In libraries of manycountries, there are still pictures of Qu Yuan. Guofeng and Lisao are called"Fengsao", even poets are called "Poets". During the Anti Japanese period, May 5was once designated as "poet's Day".

　　Although Qu Yuan has been away from us for 2283 years, his works are thespiritual wealth of people all over the world and have far-reaching historicalsignificance. And great practical significance. We should not only remember himfrom generation to generation, but also widely publicize and seriously studyhim. We should learn from him the thought of persisting in striving, the moralcharacter of being loyal and noble, the will to die rather than surrender andthe great spirit of loving the country and the people.

　　This famous cultural city is located in the west of the vast and richJianghan Plain. In the Han Dynasty, the whole country was divided into 36states, named after Jingshan in the north. After the Eastern Jin Dynasty,several emperors built their capitals here, making this city an important placefor the successive dynasties to garrison troops and set up their offices.

　　The ancient city of Jingzhou is divided into three layers, water cityoutside, brick city in the middle and earth city inside.

　　我的家鄉(xiāng)在荊州，那是一個美麗的地方。也是一座古老的歷史文化名城。

　　荊州古城分為東門、西門、南門、北門。其中，我覺得東門最美麗了。踏上古老的青石板鋪成的小路，走進(jìn)賓陽樓，首先映入眼簾的是一座座塑像，有關(guān)羽、劉備、張飛和趙云、諸葛亮。看到這些，我仿佛回到了三國戰(zhàn)場，關(guān)羽朱顏長須手握青龍偃月刀，體驗?zāi)?ldquo;一夫當(dāng)關(guān)，萬夫莫開”的豪情。

　　各位嘉賓，大家上午好!今天我們將參觀著名的荊州古城。

　　“聞聽三國事，每欲到荊州”。一提起荊州，您一定會自然而然地想到小說《三國演義》中劉備借荊州、魯肅討荊州、呂蒙襲荊州、關(guān)羽失荊州那些膾炙人口的三國故事，一百二十回《三國演義》，就有七十二回的內(nèi)容涉及荊州。千百年來，到荊州古城探詢?nèi)龂鴼v史煙云陳跡的憑吊者、訪古者、探幽者絡(luò)繹不絕。作為大家的實地導(dǎo)游，我很榮幸能夠借這樣一個機(jī)會把荊州古城逾兩千年來演變和發(fā)展的歷史畫卷展現(xiàn)給大家。

　　我們現(xiàn)在所處的位置是荊州城東門外，大家面前的這條幾十米寬的河流就是護(hù)城河，在打仗之時，它是抵御敵人攻城的一道天然屏障，而如今在這條河上，每年都會舉辦隆重的國際龍舟邀請賽。入城之前，首先請讓我給大家介紹一下荊州古城的歷史背景。

　　荊州城，又名江陵城。是目前我國南方保存最為完整的一座古代城池，也是1982年國務(wù)院首批公布的全國24座歷史文化名城之一;1996年，荊州古城墻被國務(wù)院公布為全國重點(diǎn)文物保護(hù)單位;20xx年時，以荊州古城為中心的荊州市又被國家旅游局命名為中國優(yōu)秀旅游城市。

　　回顧荊州的歷史，可以說與華夏上下五千年的文明史緊密相連。大家都知道，中華民族是炎黃子孫，黃帝和炎帝部落合并統(tǒng)一華夏后，“割地布九州”(冀、兗、青、徐、揚(yáng)、荊、豫、梁、雍)，荊州即為這古老的九州之一。

　　“荊州”這個名稱，最早見于戰(zhàn)國時期的典籍《尚書?禹貢》中的“荊及衡陽惟荊州”，當(dāng)時荊州的區(qū)域面積是很大的，春秋戰(zhàn)國時期的楚國便是興起于荊州域內(nèi)。據(jù)史料記載，周莊王八年(即公元前689年)，楚文王將都城遷往今天荊州城北五公里處的紀(jì)南城，楚國在此建都長達(dá)420xx年，前后經(jīng)歷了二十個國王，創(chuàng)造了與黃河流域中原文化輝映并重，并可與古希臘、古羅馬文化相媲美的楚文化。相傳楚成王(公元前671至520xx年)在位時，為了畢覽長江勝景，在荊州城區(qū)營建了“飛樓百尺照湖水、上有燕趙千娥眉”的諸宮和宮船碼頭，這諸宮和宮船碼頭就是今天荊州城的雛形。秦昭王二十九年(即公元前278年)，秦國名將白起率兵攻打楚國，占領(lǐng)了江漢之間的地域，秦隨即在楚都設(shè)南郡，為當(dāng)時全國三十六郡之一。后來，秦又在今天荊州城的地方設(shè)立江陵縣，“以地臨江”、“近州無高山，所有皆陵阜”，故稱“江陵”。公元前120xx年，漢武帝建立荊州刺史部，為全國為十三州之一，從此，荊州開始成為行政區(qū)劃的名稱。

　　自秦漢以后，荊州成為歷代王朝封王置府的重鎮(zhèn)，一直是州、郡一級治所，有的朝代還曾在此建都立國。三國時，這里是爭霸的要津，孫劉聯(lián)合在赤壁一戰(zhàn)大破曹軍，劉備遂于次年向?qū)O權(quán)借得荊州，并以此為根基迅速發(fā)展蜀國勢力。此后，東晉末年的安帝，南朝時的齊和帝、梁元帝、后梁宣帝，隋時的后梁王以及唐末五代十國時的南平國王等，先后有11個紛爭王侯在此稱帝(王)建都，長達(dá)100余年。唐代的荊州是陪都，稱“南郡”，與長安城南北呼應(yīng)。宋朝建立后，于此置江陵府。元初改江陵府為上路總管府。明初又改設(shè)荊州府。清代則沿用明朝制度。民國時，荊州屬湖北省第四行政都察區(qū)。中華人民共和國成立后，荊州城是湖北省荊州地區(qū)專員公署和江陵縣人民政府機(jī)關(guān)所在地。1994年，原荊州地區(qū)和沙市市合并成立荊沙市，1997年更名為荊州市，荊州城為荊州市六縣市二區(qū)的荊州區(qū)所在地。

　　荊州城地處天下之中，江湖之會，歷來就是兵家必爭之地。諸葛亮曾說：“荊州北據(jù)漢沔、利盡南海，東連吳、會，西通巴、蜀，此用武之國”。漢代以耿直忠烈聞名的宰相李固，三國名將關(guān)羽、周瑜、呂蒙、陸遜，晉代文武雙全的大司馬陶侃都曾鎮(zhèn)守過荊州;晉代詩人謝靈運(yùn)、鮑照，唐代開明宰相張九齡、張柬之，大文學(xué)家韓愈、元稹以及宋代大政治家王安石等著名歷史人物，也都曾在荊州擔(dān)任過大小不同的職務(wù)。此外，歷代的許多次重大農(nóng)民起義，也都把荊州作為重要的攻奪目標(biāo)，如西漢末年的王匡、王鳳，唐末的黃巢，元末的陳友諒，明末的李自成和張獻(xiàn)忠等領(lǐng)導(dǎo)的農(nóng)民起義軍都曾攻占過荊州城。

　　除了是軍事要地，古代荊州城的經(jīng)濟(jì)與文化也是非常活躍和繁榮的。由于交通便捷、土地肥沃、氣候溫和、物產(chǎn)豐富，早在西漢時期，它已發(fā)展成為全國十大商業(yè)中心之一，名列南方五郡之首。南北朝時，便成為“長江中游第一城”，與下游著名的商業(yè)城市揚(yáng)州齊名，史稱“江左大鎮(zhèn)莫過荊、揚(yáng)”。雖然在西魏時期曾一度毀于戰(zhàn)難，但到中唐又逐漸恢復(fù)繁華且其規(guī)模約十倍于以前，所以荊州城在當(dāng)時被定位“陪都”，與長安、洛陽并稱。

　　荊州是楚文化的中心，是“鐘鳴楚天”的音樂、舞蹈之邦，享有“惟楚有才”的盛譽(yù)。千百年來，這里文化昌盛，人才輩出，孕育有楚國著名愛國詩人屈原、唐代著名邊塞詩人岑參、宋代“小萬卷”朱昴等一大批江陵才子。在政壇，從荊州走出的宰相有唐代劉洎、段文昌和“一門三相”的岑之本、岑長清、岑羲祖孫三代，最為著名的是明代宰相張居正，他力主革除弊政，發(fā)展經(jīng)濟(jì)，在當(dāng)時起到了一定的積極作用，為后人所崇敬。同時，荊州城旖旎的自然風(fēng)光和深厚的文化底蘊(yùn)，還吸引了歷代眾多知名文人志士前來觀光游覽、詠詩會友，漢代的司馬遷，魏晉南北朝的王粲、陶淵明，唐代的王維、孟浩然、李白、杜甫、劉禹錫、李商隱、杜牧，宋代的蘇軾、陸游及明清的袁宏道、王士禎等都曾游歷過荊州城，并留下大量的詩文佳作，其中最負(fù)盛名的當(dāng)屬李白《下江陵》一詩中“朝辭白帝彩云間，千里江陵一日還”的絕句了。

　　好了，說了這么多，大家對荊州古城的過去一定有了進(jìn)一步地了解吧。現(xiàn)在就讓我們一起去來看看現(xiàn)在的荊州城里到底是個什么樣子。請大家緊跟著我沿著右邊的人行道上城，左邊是馬道，如果您留意的話，就會發(fā)現(xiàn)砌成馬道的磚上刻有文字，這就是荊州古城墻上極為珍貴的銘文磚，又叫文字磚，它們記載了歷代修建荊州城墻的漫長歷史過程，反映了荊州所管轄的行政區(qū)域的變遷狀況，具有重要的歷史研究價值。

　　相傳在漢代荊州就筑有正規(guī)的城墻，后經(jīng)蜀將關(guān)羽、東吳守將朱然和東晉荊州刺史桓溫及梁元帝等12次維修擴(kuò)建，使荊州城更加堅實壯闊，但這都是土城墻。據(jù)史料記載，荊州最初的磚城墻始建于五代十國時期，荊南節(jié)度使高季興出于割據(jù)荊州自立為王的目的，于公元920xx年動用十幾萬軍民大修荊州磚城墻，筑城的磚不夠，就下令四處挖取墓磚，方圓五十里內(nèi)的墳?zāi)贡M遭挖掘。據(jù)說城墻筑成后，每到深夜，墻上便游蕩出無數(shù)的磷光，看上去像“鬼火”，令人毛骨悚然。北宋末年，因“靖康”戰(zhàn)火焚燒，城墻大毀。到了南宋時，荊州安撫史趙雄為了加強(qiáng)荊州防御，上奏淳熙皇帝準(zhǔn)許，于公元1187年大興土木，在11個月的時間內(nèi)重修起磚城墻，還在城墻上建造戰(zhàn)樓一千余間，這次筑城的磚為政府下令燒制的“專用城磚”，磚上有責(zé)任銘文，但沒有年號記載。后來，元兵攻占荊州城，忽必烈下令將城墻全部拆除。朱元璋建立明朝后，再次依舊基修復(fù)，并在城周開掘護(hù)城河。明末張獻(xiàn)忠率領(lǐng)農(nóng)民起義軍攻進(jìn)荊州城后，城墻又被憤怒的義軍所拆除。直至清順治三年(即公元1646年)，第三次在舊基上筑起城墻，這就是留存至今的荊州古城墻。城池構(gòu)筑十分堅牢，為了防止城墻因水侵腐蝕而下陷，城墻基腳全部用條石壘砌，墻面均用石灰糯米漿灌縫，盡管曾遭三毀三建，且歷經(jīng)三百多個春秋寒暑，該城墻依然保存完好。新中國成立以后，國家和當(dāng)?shù)卣�府對荊州古城進(jìn)行了重點(diǎn)保護(hù)，對荊州城及周邊環(huán)境加以改造、整治、修繕和擴(kuò)建，修建了內(nèi)環(huán)道和外環(huán)道，疏通治理了護(hù)城河，在東門外和新北門分別建起了鳳凰廣場和天問廣場，使荊州古城更加美麗、雄偉、壯觀，這就是各位今天看到的荊州城古老而新鮮的面孔。

　　另外，據(jù)專家考證指出，到目前為止，荊州城墻上發(fā)現(xiàn)最早的、有年號的文字磚是明洪武二年(即公元1369年)的，距今已有六百多年的歷史，此磚比新華社報道的、在萬里長城上發(fā)現(xiàn)的萬歷年間的文字磚要早220xx年。更令人稱奇的是，從文字磚上記載得知，這些磚不僅僅出自江漢平原，還有的來自省內(nèi)其他地方及省外的湖南、陜西、江西等地，由此可見當(dāng)時筑城工程之巨大。古代筑城，還體現(xiàn)出一種質(zhì)量管理的思想，歷代建筑或維修城墻所留下的或詳或簡的責(zé)任銘文，實際上都是一種公開的責(zé)任狀。從城磚上文字記載的內(nèi)容看，是十分細(xì)致嚴(yán)格的，除了記錄有制磚的時間和地點(diǎn)外，還有關(guān)于監(jiān)造人、制磚人、燒窯人、制磚費(fèi)用、承擔(dān)者姓名和具體負(fù)責(zé)的地方官員的詳細(xì)銘文。可見在當(dāng)時修筑荊州城墻時采取了“全民動員、上下動手、分工明確、責(zé)任到人”的做法。荊州之所以在古代一直被譽(yù)為“鐵打的荊州”，與這種“責(zé)任制”是分不開的。這也是我們今天需要從先賢那里學(xué)習(xí)和借鑒的。

　　大家仔細(xì)的觀察這些文字磚，細(xì)心的朋友還會發(fā)現(xiàn)在文字刻法上，既有陰刻，也有陽刻，還有陰陽兼刻;在書法字體上，既有行書，也有楷書;在字的寫法上，則既有繁體字，又有簡化字。因此，這些文字磚還有重要的藝術(shù)研究價值，值得進(jìn)一步開發(fā)和利用。

　　現(xiàn)在，我們登上了東門城樓，憑欄遠(yuǎn)眺，遙想關(guān)羽當(dāng)年，朱顏長髯，手握青龍偃月刀，您是否也壯心勃發(fā)，能夠體驗到“一夫當(dāng)關(guān)，萬夫莫開”的豪情呢?

　　從空中鳥瞰，荊州城墻就像一條游龍綿亙在水泊湖沼之中，呈不規(guī)則的橢圓形。整個城墻東西長公里，南北寬公里，周長公里，城內(nèi)面積平方公里。城墻高米，頂面寬3至5米不等，底座寬10米左右。城墻上建有城垛4567個，炮臺26個以及藏兵洞4個。這些都是古代戰(zhàn)爭防御進(jìn)攻的工具。

　　荊州古城共建有六座城門，東北各兩座，西南各一座。東門名叫寅賓門，小東門名叫公安門，大北門名叫拱極門，又名柳門，小北門名叫遠(yuǎn)安門，南門名叫南紀(jì)門，西門名叫安瀾門。每座城門的名稱都與荊州的地理、歷史和習(xí)俗有關(guān)，如小東門，當(dāng)年劉備把油江口改為公安，迎娶孫夫人后乘船回荊州，在此門下舟登岸進(jìn)荊州城，故名公安名;又如大北門，古時候城北有通往京都的大道，仕宦遷官調(diào)職時，皆出此門，官員友朋送行時，在此折柳相贈，故又稱柳門。為什么古人不折桃李，卻偏要折柳相贈呢?這可是有來由的，據(jù)史書記載，我國自漢代起，親友臨別時折柳相贈漸成習(xí)俗，是因“柳”是“留”的諧音，折柳相贈有“挽留”、“留戀”之意。除小東門之外，其他五座城門均有閭門，為二重門，二門之間有甕城，二重門各設(shè)一個木質(zhì)對開門，木門內(nèi)還有一道10厘米厚的閘板，以防水患。此外，六座城門上原來都建有城門樓，東門城樓叫賓陽樓，小東門城樓叫望江樓，大北門城樓叫景龍樓，小北門城樓叫朝宗樓，南門城樓叫曲江樓，西門城樓叫九陽樓，由于朝代更替，歷史變遷，加上戰(zhàn)火的破壞，原有的城樓除大北門上的景龍樓為清朝道光十八年(即公元1838年)重修保存至今外，都已不復(fù)存在了。我們現(xiàn)在所在的東門賓陽樓，是國家為了發(fā)展荊州旅游事業(yè)，修繕和保護(hù)荊州古城于20世紀(jì)80年代撥款仿古重建的。

　　在荊州，“劉備借荊州”的故事就發(fā)生在這兒呢!

　　那里有一座雄偉壯觀的古城墻，許多游客都去攀登它古老寬闊的脊背。

　　春天，小朋友在城墻邊放著五顏六色的風(fēng)箏，有的像在空中翱翔的小鳥，有的像正在覓食的老鷹......古城墻在形態(tài)各異的風(fēng)箏的襯托下顯得格外美麗。

　　夏天，古城墻熱鬧非凡。有的人在清涼的護(hù)城河中游泳，有的人拿著相機(jī)“咔嚓、咔嚓”照個不停，為古城墻留下了美麗的瞬間，還有的人在城墻旁的柳樹下乘涼，一排排像一位位少女在微風(fēng)中擺動著柔順的長發(fā)。

　　秋天，樹葉翩然落下，紅色飛上了楓樹的枝頭，金色跑遍了無邊的田野，古城墻也變的美不勝收。一陣微風(fēng)吹過，城墻兩側(cè)的爬山虎就像下起了“樹葉雨”，一片片葉子就像一只只蝴蝶快樂的舞動著。看!護(hù)城河上漂浮著落葉組成的小艦隊，在風(fēng)姑娘的助威聲中爭先恐后的駛向岸邊。

　　冬天，雪花漫天飛舞，房子上、樹上、地上都堆積著一層厚厚的雪，整個古城仿佛變成了一個白色的世界。許多樹枝被厚厚的積雪壓彎了腰，人們都到屋子里圍著溫暖的爐火喝茶、聊天，只有古城墻還堅強(qiáng)的矗立在雪地上，像一條白色的巨龍守護(hù)著這片土地。

荊州古城英語導(dǎo)游詞 篇12

　　各位嘉賓，大家上午好!

　　今天我們將參觀著名的荊州古城。

　　“聞聽三國事，每欲到荊州”。一提起荊州，您一定會自然而然地想到小說《三國演義》中劉備借荊州、魯肅討荊州、呂蒙襲荊州、關(guān)羽失荊州那些膾炙人口的三國故事，一百二十回《三國演義》，就有七十二回的內(nèi)容涉及荊州。千百年來，到荊州古城探詢?nèi)龂鴼v史煙云陳跡的憑吊者、訪古者、探幽者絡(luò)繹不絕。作為大家的實地導(dǎo)游，我很榮幸能夠借這樣一個機(jī)會把荊州古城逾兩千年來演變和發(fā)展的歷史畫卷展現(xiàn)給大家。

　　我們現(xiàn)在所處的位置是荊州城東門外，大家面前的這條幾十米寬的河流就是護(hù)城河，在打仗之時，它是抵御敵人攻城的一道天然屏障，而如今在這條河上，每年都會舉辦隆重的國際龍舟邀請賽。入城之前，首先請讓我給大家介紹一下荊州古城的歷史背景。

　　荊州城，又名江陵城。是目前我國南方保存最為完整的一座古代城池，也是1982年國務(wù)院首批公布的全國24座歷史文化名城之一;1996年，荊州古城墻被國務(wù)院公布為全國重點(diǎn)文物保護(hù)單位;20xx年時，以荊州古城為中心的荊州市又被國家旅游局命名為中國優(yōu)秀旅游城市。

　　回顧荊州的歷史，可以說與華夏上下五千年的文明史緊密相連。大家都知道，中華民族是炎黃子孫，黃帝和炎帝部落合并統(tǒng)一華夏后，“割地布九州”(冀、兗、青、徐、揚(yáng)、荊、豫、梁、雍)，荊州即為這古老的九州之一。

　　“荊州”這個名稱，最早見于戰(zhàn)國時期的典籍《尚書?禹貢》中的“荊及衡陽惟荊州”，當(dāng)時荊州的區(qū)域面積是很大的，春秋戰(zhàn)國時期的楚國便是興起于荊州域內(nèi)。據(jù)史料記載，周莊王八年(即公元前689年)，楚文王將都城遷往今天荊州城北五公里處的紀(jì)南城，楚國在此建都長達(dá)420xx年，前后經(jīng)歷了二十個國王，創(chuàng)造了與黃河流域中原文化輝映 并重，并可與古希臘、古羅馬文化相媲美的楚文化。相傳楚成王(公元前671至520xx年)在位時，為了畢覽長江勝景，在荊州城區(qū)營建了“飛樓百尺照湖水、上有燕趙千娥眉”的諸宮和宮船碼頭，這諸宮和宮船碼頭就是今天荊州城的雛形。秦昭王二十九年(即公元前278年)，秦國名將白起率兵攻打楚國，占領(lǐng)了江漢之間的地域，秦隨即在楚都設(shè)南郡，為當(dāng)時全國三十六郡之一。后來，秦又在今天荊州城的地方設(shè)立江陵縣，“以地臨江”、“近州無高山，所有皆陵阜”，故稱“江陵”。公元前120xx年，漢武帝建立荊州刺史部，為全國為十三州之一，從此，荊州開始成為行政區(qū)劃的名稱。

　　自秦漢以后，荊州成為歷代王朝封王置府的重鎮(zhèn)，一直是州、郡一級治所，有的朝代還曾在此建都立國。三國時，這里是爭霸的要津，孫劉聯(lián)合在赤壁一戰(zhàn)大破曹軍，劉備遂于次年向?qū)O權(quán)借得荊州，并以此為根基迅速發(fā)展蜀國勢力。此后，東晉末年的安帝，南朝時的齊和帝、梁元帝、后梁宣帝，隋時的后梁王以及唐末五代十國時的南平國王等，先后有11個紛爭王侯在此稱帝(王)建都，長達(dá)100余年。唐代的荊州是陪都，稱“南郡”，與長安城南北呼應(yīng)。宋朝建立后，于此置江陵府。元初改江陵府為上路總管府。明初又改設(shè)荊州府。清代則沿用明朝制度。民國時，荊州屬湖北省第四行政都察區(qū)。中華人民共和國成立后，荊州城是湖北省荊州地區(qū)專員公署和江陵縣人民政府機(jī)關(guān)所在地。1994年，原荊州地區(qū)和沙市市合并成立荊沙市，1997年更名為荊州市，荊州城為荊州市六縣市二區(qū)的荊州區(qū)所在地。

　　荊州城地處天下之中，江湖之會，歷來就是兵家必爭之地。諸葛亮曾說：“荊州北據(jù)漢沔、利盡南海，東連吳、會，西通巴、蜀，此用武之國”。漢代以耿直忠烈聞名的宰相李固，三國名將關(guān)羽、周瑜、呂蒙、陸遜，晉代文武雙全的大司馬陶侃都曾鎮(zhèn)守過荊州;晉代詩人謝靈運(yùn)、鮑照，唐代開明宰相張九齡、張柬之，大文學(xué)家韓愈、元稹以及宋代大政治家王安石等著名歷史人物，也都曾在荊州擔(dān)任過大小不同的職務(wù)。此外，歷代的許多次重大農(nóng)民起義，也都把荊州作為重要的攻奪目標(biāo)，如西漢末年的王匡、王鳳，唐末的黃巢，元末的陳友諒，明末的李自成和張獻(xiàn)忠等領(lǐng)導(dǎo)的農(nóng)民起義軍都曾攻占過荊州城。

　　除了是軍事要地，古代荊州城的經(jīng)濟(jì)與文化也是非常活躍和繁榮的。由于交通便捷、土地肥沃、氣候溫和、物產(chǎn)豐富，早在西漢時期，它已發(fā)展成為全國十大商業(yè)中心之一，名列南方五郡之首。南北朝時，便成為“長江中游第一城”，與下游著名的商業(yè)城市揚(yáng)州齊名，史稱“江左大鎮(zhèn)莫過荊、揚(yáng)”。雖然在西魏時期曾一度毀于戰(zhàn)難，但到中唐又逐漸恢復(fù)繁華且其規(guī)模約十倍于以前，所以荊州城在當(dāng)時被定位“陪都”，與長安、洛陽并稱。

　　荊州是楚文化的中心，是“鐘鳴楚天”的音樂、舞蹈之邦，享有“惟楚有才”的盛譽(yù)。千百年來，這里文化昌盛，人才輩出，孕育有楚國著名愛國詩人屈原、唐代著名邊塞詩人岑參、宋代“小萬卷”朱昴等一大批江陵才子。在政壇，從荊州走出的宰相有唐代劉洎、段文昌和“一門三相”的岑之本、岑長清、岑羲祖孫三代，最為著名的是明代宰相張居正，他力主革除弊政，發(fā)展經(jīng)濟(jì)，在當(dāng)時起到了一定的積極作用，為后人所崇敬。同時，荊州城旖旎的自然風(fēng)光和深厚的文化底蘊(yùn)，還吸引了歷代眾多知名文人志士前來觀光游覽、詠詩會友，漢代的司馬遷，魏晉南北朝的王粲、陶淵明，唐代的王維、孟浩然、李白、杜甫、劉禹錫、李商隱、杜牧，宋代的蘇軾、陸游及明清的袁宏道、王士禎等都曾游歷過荊州城，并留下大量的詩文佳作，其中最負(fù)盛名的當(dāng)屬李白《下江陵》一詩中“朝辭白帝彩云間，千里江陵一日還”的絕句了。

　　好了，說了這么多，大家對荊州古城的過去一定有了進(jìn)一步地了解吧。現(xiàn)在就讓我們一起去來看看現(xiàn)在的荊州城里到底是個什么樣子。請大家緊跟著我沿著右邊的人行道上城，左邊是馬道，如果您留意的話，就會發(fā)現(xiàn)砌成馬道的磚上刻有文字，這就是荊州古城墻上極為珍貴的銘文磚，又叫文字磚，它們記載了歷代修建荊州城墻的漫長歷史過程，反映了荊州所管轄的行政區(qū)域的變遷狀況，具有重要的歷史研究價值。

　　相傳在漢代荊州就筑有正規(guī)的城墻，后經(jīng)蜀將關(guān)羽、東吳守將朱然和東晉荊州刺史桓溫及梁元帝等12次維修擴(kuò)建，使荊州城更加堅實壯闊，但這都是土城墻。據(jù)史料記載，荊州最初的磚城墻始建于五代十國時期，荊南節(jié)度使高季興出于割據(jù)荊州自立為王的目的，于公元920xx年動用十幾萬軍民大修荊州磚城墻，筑城的磚不夠，就下令四處挖取墓磚，方圓五十里內(nèi)的墳?zāi)贡M遭挖掘。據(jù)說城墻筑成后，每到深夜，墻上便游蕩出無數(shù)的磷光，看上去像“鬼火”，令人毛骨悚然。北宋末年，因“靖康”戰(zhàn)火焚燒，城墻大毀。到了南宋時，荊州安撫史趙雄為了加強(qiáng)荊州防御，上奏淳熙皇帝準(zhǔn)許，于公元1187年大興土木，在11個月的時間內(nèi)重修起磚城墻，還在城墻上建造戰(zhàn)樓一千余間，這次筑城的磚為政府下令燒制的“專用城磚”，磚上有責(zé)任銘文，但沒有年號記載。后來，元兵攻占荊州城，忽必烈下令將城墻全部拆除。朱元璋建立明朝后，再次依舊基修復(fù)，并在城周開掘護(hù)城河。明末張獻(xiàn)忠率領(lǐng)農(nóng)民起義軍攻進(jìn)荊州城后，城墻又被憤怒的義軍所拆除。直至清順治三年(即公元1646年)，第三次在舊基上筑起城墻，這就是留存至今的荊州古城墻。城池構(gòu)筑十分堅牢，為了防止城墻因水侵腐蝕而下陷，城墻基腳全部用條石壘砌，墻面均用石灰糯米漿灌縫，盡管曾遭三毀三建，且歷經(jīng)三百多個春秋寒暑，該城墻依然保存完好。新中國成立以后，國家和當(dāng)?shù)卣�府對荊州古城進(jìn)行了重點(diǎn)保護(hù)，對荊州城及周邊環(huán)境加以改造、整治、修繕和擴(kuò)建，修建了內(nèi)環(huán)道和外環(huán)道，疏通治理了護(hù)城河，在東門外和新北門分別建起了鳳凰廣場和天問廣場，使荊州古城更加美麗、雄偉、壯觀，這就是各位今天看到的荊州城古老而新鮮的面孔。

　　另外，據(jù)專家考證指出，到目前為止，荊州城墻上發(fā)現(xiàn)最早的、有年號的文字磚是明洪武二年(即公元1369年)的，距今已有六百多年的歷史，此磚比新華社報道的、在萬里長城上發(fā)現(xiàn)的萬歷年間的文字磚要早220xx年。更令人稱奇的是，從文字磚上記載得知，這些磚不僅僅出自江漢平原，還有的來自省內(nèi)其他地方及省外的湖南、陜西、江西等地，由此可見當(dāng)時筑城工程之巨大。古代筑城，還體現(xiàn)出一種質(zhì)量管理的思想，歷代建筑或維修城墻所留下的或詳或簡的責(zé)任銘文，實際上都是一種公開的責(zé)任狀。從城磚上文字記載的內(nèi)容看，是十分細(xì)致嚴(yán)格的，除了記錄有制磚的時間和地點(diǎn)外，還有關(guān)于監(jiān)造人、制磚人、燒窯人、制磚費(fèi)用、承擔(dān)者姓名和具體負(fù)責(zé)的地方官員的詳細(xì)銘文。可見在當(dāng)時修筑荊州城墻時采取了“全民動員、上下動手、分工明確、責(zé)任到人”的做法。荊州之所以在古代一直被譽(yù)為“鐵打的荊州”，與這種“責(zé)任制”是分不開的。這也是我們今天需要從先賢那里學(xué)習(xí)和借鑒的。

　　大家仔細(xì)的觀察這些文字磚，細(xì)心的朋友還會發(fā)現(xiàn)在文字刻法上，既有陰刻，也有陽刻，還有陰陽兼刻;在書法字體上，既有行書，也有楷書;在字的寫法上，則既有繁體字，又有簡化字。因此，這些文字磚還有重要的藝術(shù)研究價值，值得進(jìn)一步開發(fā)和利用。

　　現(xiàn)在，我們登上了東門城樓，憑欄遠(yuǎn)眺，遙想關(guān)羽當(dāng)年，朱顏長髯，手握青龍偃月刀，您是否也壯心勃發(fā)，能夠體驗到“一夫當(dāng)關(guān)，萬夫莫開”的豪情呢?

　　從空中鳥瞰，荊州城墻就像一條游龍綿亙在水泊湖沼之中，呈不規(guī)則的橢圓形。整個城墻東西長3.75公里，南北寬1.2公里，周長10.5公里，城內(nèi)面積4.5平方公里。城墻高8.83米，頂面寬3至5米不等，底座寬10米左右。城墻上建有城垛4567個，炮臺26個以及藏兵洞4個。這些都是古代戰(zhàn)爭防御進(jìn)攻的工具。

　　荊州古城共建有六座城門，東北各兩座，西南各一座。東門名叫寅賓門，小東門名叫公安門，大北門名叫拱極門，又名柳門，小北門名叫遠(yuǎn)安門，南門名叫南紀(jì)門，西門名叫安瀾門。每座城門的名稱都與荊州的地理、歷史和習(xí)俗有關(guān)，如小東門，當(dāng)年劉備把油江口改為公安，迎娶孫夫人后乘船回荊州，在此門下舟登岸進(jìn)荊州城，故名公安名;又如大北門，古時候城北有通往京都的大道，仕宦遷官調(diào)職時，皆出此門，官員友朋送行時，在此折柳相贈，故又稱柳門。為什么古人不折桃李，卻偏要折柳相贈呢?這可是有來由的，據(jù)史書記載，我國自漢代起，親友臨別時折柳相贈漸成習(xí)俗，是因“柳”是“留”的諧音，折柳相贈有“挽留”、“留戀”之意。除小東門之外，其他五座城門均有閭門，為二重門，二門之間有甕城，二重門各設(shè)一個木質(zhì)對開門，木門內(nèi)還有一道10厘米厚的閘板，以防水患。此外，六座城門上原來都建有城門樓，東門城樓叫賓陽樓，小東門城樓叫望江樓，大北門城樓叫景龍樓，小北門城樓叫朝宗樓，南門城樓叫曲江樓，西門城樓叫九陽樓，由于朝代更替，歷史變遷，加上戰(zhàn)火的破壞，原有的城樓除大北門上的景龍樓為清朝道光十八年(即公元1838年)重修保存至今外，都已不復(fù)存在了。我們現(xiàn)在所在的東門賓陽樓，是國家為了發(fā)展荊州旅游事業(yè)，修繕和保護(hù)荊州古城于20世紀(jì)80年代撥款仿古重建的。

　　荊州城內(nèi)外還零星散落著一些歷史遺跡，也是值得大家前往一游的地方，如城內(nèi)的開元觀、玄妙觀、鐵女寺、文廟、關(guān)帝廟，城外的太暉觀、關(guān)公點(diǎn)將臺、張飛一擔(dān)土等，除了城墻和這些歷史遺跡外，在荊州城內(nèi)再難看到古老的建筑，取而代之的是鱗次櫛比的高樓大廈。隨著時間的推進(jìn)，昔日荊州城內(nèi)的小街小巷也有寬闊的馬路代替，形成縱橫交錯、井然有序的公路網(wǎng)。為了適應(yīng)現(xiàn)代交通工具的需要，在東、南、北三面的城墻上又開鑿了適合公交車輛通行的三座新城門，使今天荊州城的城門變?yōu)榱?座。荊州古城內(nèi)四處透射著現(xiàn)代氣息，商業(yè)氛圍非常濃郁，大型的商場有荊州商場、荊州百貨大樓、荊州華聯(lián)商廈、荊州楚天大樓等，在這些商場里各類商品應(yīng)有盡有，如果您想購買一些荊州的土特產(chǎn)品帶回家作為紀(jì)念或饋贈親朋，我在此可以如數(shù)家珍地把荊州風(fēng)物介紹給大家，請大家用心聽好嘍：在聚珍園這座有著百年歷史的老飯店里可以買到正宗的江陵八寶飯，在荊州百貨大樓里可以買到香酥可口的江陵九黃餅，在荊州絲綢廠里可以買到稱心如意的織錦緞、仿古綢等絲綢產(chǎn)品，在荊州工藝美術(shù)廠還可以買到品種各異的仿古漆器……

　　好了，荊州古城的有關(guān)情況就給大家介紹到這兒了。現(xiàn)在給大家一刻鐘的時間自由活動，大家可以在此拍照留念。

　　荊州古城又名江陵城。是我國歷史文化名城之一。 南鄰沙市，傍倚長江。城墻盤旋于湖光水色之中，依地勢而起伏，順湖池而迂回，蜿蜒伸展，狀若游龍。巍巍古城，已有20xx多年歷史，自秦漢起，聳有城廓，五代十國后，始建磚城，宋、元、明幾毀幾修。現(xiàn)保存完好的古城墻，為清順治三年(公元1646年)依明城垣所建，近年來，沿城墻內(nèi)外修建了許多新景點(diǎn)。

　　大家都知道《三國演義》里的劉備假意哭荊州、關(guān)公大意失荊州的故事。這里就是“兵家必爭之地。”的荊州。這個著名的文化名城，座落在遼闊富饒的江漢平原的西沿。漢朝的時候，全國劃分為三十六州，這里因北有荊山而得名。東晉以后，有幾個皇帝在這里建都，使這座城池成了歷代王朝屯兵置府的重鎮(zhèn)、兵家必爭之地。

　　荊州城由于地處江湖之會，是連接?xùn)|南西北水陸交通的樞紐，這里土地肥沃，氣候溫和，特產(chǎn)豐富，而且還曾是全國重要的商業(yè)中心之一，在西漢時期，名列南方五郡之冠。

　　荊州這個名稱，是上古大禹治水時所定的九州(冀、袞、青、揚(yáng)、荊、豫、梁、雍)之一，以當(dāng)時境內(nèi)荊山得名。三國以后，荊州城一直是州、郡一級的治所，有的還曾在此建都立國。

　　荊州古城分為三層，外邊是水城，中間是磚城，里面是土城。據(jù)說當(dāng)年為防止城基下陷，洪水泛城，右城腳條石縫中澆灌糯米漿，因而城墻特別堅固。傳說三國蜀將關(guān)云長鎮(zhèn)守荊州，忽遇九位仙女下凡。傳王母娘娘旨意，說荊州刀兵動得太多，要收回置于神地，不準(zhǔn)凡人爭奪。關(guān)公忠于其兄不讓荊州，于是想了一個計策，說：“你們在西北，我在東南，各筑一城，城周五千步，天黑始，雞鳴止，誰先筑好，誰就管理這個地方。，九仙女用衣裙兜土，關(guān)公伐蘆葦筑城。關(guān)公城就，九仙女城差一隅，雞尚未鳴。關(guān)公振動雞籠蘆席，公雞啼鳴，九仙女羞愧地上天去了。這就是現(xiàn)在荊州城北門外九女琢的來歷。又傳說張飛也挑擔(dān)土來幫二哥筑城，可是來晚了，便將土倒在東門外，現(xiàn)今人們都把這兩座小口山似的土叫“張飛一擔(dān)土”。這些都是神話傳說，然而關(guān)公為了防范東吳，在漢代舊城旁筑了一座新城，都是有歷史記載的。

　　荊州城北十華里，是春秋戰(zhàn)國時代中國南方最大城市的遺址——“楚紀(jì)南故城”。楚國有二十個國王，前后四百一十一年在這里建都。故城地上、地下、城內(nèi)、城外，蘊(yùn)藏著豐富的楚國文化。在這里隨手都可以揀到兩千多年前的瓦片和陶片。

　　在荊州古城內(nèi)有關(guān)三國的古跡，還有關(guān)公行軍的大鐵鍋、養(yǎng)馬槽;有呂蒙襲荊州時，守軍丟盔棄甲的擲甲山等等。城外，八嶺山中有關(guān)眾多有關(guān)三國關(guān)羽傳說的遺址。我們步下八嶺山南端的落帽臺，向山中進(jìn)發(fā)，穿過層層松林，來到關(guān)公刨泉處。泉邊碑文記載：“劉先主困當(dāng)陽時，關(guān)公引師救之，取道過此，人馬俱困，忠義感泉涌出，傳誦至今。”現(xiàn)在，這口泉的泉水，或為茶亭取水泡茶以待游人;或為酒廠取水釀酒，以款賓客。

　　悠久的歷史，給荊州留下了難以數(shù)計的古文物，現(xiàn)保存在荊州博物館內(nèi)的就有三千多件。以臥薪嘗膽聞名的越王勾踐，他所使用的一把寶劍，一九六五年在荊州城北出土。劍上有烏篆銘文：「越王勾踐，自作用劍」八個大字。劍身滿是菱形花紋，鑲嵌著三色玻璃和綠松石。劍刃極其鋒利，至今仍能吹毛斷發(fā)，削鐵如泥。

　　由于上學(xué)的原因,來到了這個古城,荊州雖不能與北京,上海那些大城市比,但它有它獨(dú)特的韻味,在荊州,最常見的就是它的古城墻了.這里共有7個城門,整個城市就是被城墻包圍著的.三月里,春暖花開,結(jié)伴一起騎著腳踏車,迎著暖暖的春風(fēng),把我們青春的腳步留在城墻腳下,也留下我們美好的回憶!

　　荊州還有很多有名的景點(diǎn):桃花島,荊州長江天鵝洲白暨豚國家級自然保護(hù)區(qū),萬壽寶塔,春秋閣,金鳳騰飛,三國公園,荊州博物館等等.現(xiàn)在正是去桃花村的大好時機(jī)呀,品嘗著農(nóng)家菜,看著片片桃花,心情豁然開朗的許多,在這里遠(yuǎn)離城市的喧鬧,好似來到了世外桃源呀!

荊州古城英語導(dǎo)游詞 篇15

　　荊州市位于湖北省中南部、江漢平原腹地，東望省會武漢、西接長江三峽，南與湖南常德、岳陽、益陽交界、北與荊門毗鄰，轄荊州、沙市兩個區(qū)和公安、監(jiān)利、江陵三個縣及松滋、洪湖、石首三個市。總國土面積483平方公里，總?cè)丝?30萬。

　　荊州城早在四千多年前的夏代就已經(jīng)形成，它是大禹治水定天下，定下來的九州之一，因為它管轄范圍很大，包括湖北、湖南，兩廣邊界和河南南陽盆地，而且靠的是湖北省南漳縣西邊的荊山山脈，當(dāng)時古人按照依山傍水定地名的慣例定它為荊州。這個城市的特點(diǎn)就是一城二名，既叫荊州城，又叫江陵城，江陵城的來歷是兩千六百多年以前成立了江陵縣，江陵這兩個字的意思就是“遠(yuǎn)處無高山，近處皆陵埠”，也就是遠(yuǎn)處沒有高山，近處都是丘陵和水的意思。“千里江陵一日還”的詩句，說的就是這個城市。

　　現(xiàn)在咱們所在的位置是荊州市的沙市區(qū)，不知道在座的朋友有沒有來過我們沙市的呢?沙市原先是個輕工業(yè)城市，特別是紡織業(yè)比較發(fā)達(dá)，而且還有幾個比較有名的企業(yè)，比如說活力28我想大家應(yīng)該都知道吧。另外呢，沙市最早的時候也不叫沙市，叫沙石，可能是因為原來這里石頭比較多的原因吧。原來它是長江上比較熱鬧的一個碼頭，早在1895年，清政府跟英國簽定的(馬關(guān)條約)里面有一條就是在長江上開辟五個通商口岸，那么沙市就是這五個通商口岸中的其中之一。

　　荊州市是楚文化的發(fā)祥地，中外聞名的三國古戰(zhàn)場，湘鄂西革命根據(jù)地的中心，是國務(wù)院首批公布的全國24座歷史文化名城之一，地處長江三峽旅游線、古三國旅游線、楚文化旅游線上，人文景觀很多，歷史遺跡遍布全市，現(xiàn)有國家級重點(diǎn)文物保護(hù)單位5處：雞公山遺址、楚紀(jì)南城、八嶺山古墓群、荊州古城墻、湘鄂西革命根據(jù)地舊址;省級重點(diǎn)文物保護(hù)單位32處，市9(縣)級重點(diǎn)文物保護(hù)單位500余處。荊州自古為兵家必爭之地。三國時，魏、蜀、吳為奪取荊州，不是留下了“劉備借荊州”、“關(guān)羽大意失荊州”等許多動人的故事，而且留下了大量的三國遺址。主要有江陵的關(guān)公點(diǎn)將臺、馬跑泉，洪湖的曹操灣、烏林寨，監(jiān)利的子龍崗、華容道，石首的繡林鎮(zhèn)、劉郎浦，公安的孫夫人城等。荊州城有保存完好的古城墻，歷經(jīng)1800多年，古貌猶存。現(xiàn)存城規(guī)模之大保存之好，為我過南方所僅有，在全國也為數(shù)不多。城內(nèi)有建于唐代的開元觀、玄妙觀，建于明代的太暉觀，建于清代的文廟、關(guān)廟和鐵女寺。據(jù)考古發(fā)現(xiàn)、，荊州早在五千年前就是原始人類生存的地區(qū)，城北的雞公山就是五萬年至二十萬年前的一處舊石器時代的遺址。五、六千年前，人類在荊州大地上創(chuàng)造了燦爛的屈家?guī)X文化和石家河文化。春秋戰(zhàn)過時代，青銅器冶煉技術(shù)，煅鑄鐵技術(shù)，絲織刺繡技術(shù)和漆器工藝技術(shù)都處于世界領(lǐng)先水平;老莊哲學(xué)、楚辭文學(xué)和音樂舞蹈也都登上了古代世界文明的殿堂。楚故都紀(jì)南城及其周圍，有楚城遺址5座，楚文化遺址83處，大型古墓800多處，其中包括18個楚王的葬墓。三國時期，諸葛亮稱荊州“北據(jù)漢沔，利盡南海，東連吳會，西通巴蜀，此用武之過也。”魏、蜀、吳三國的眾多政治家、軍事家圍繞荊州斗智斗勇，留下了無數(shù)膾炙人口的故事和許多三國勝跡。

　　荊州自古人杰地靈，素有“唯楚有才”之譽(yù)。世界四大歷史文化名人之一的屈原，就曾在這里任職20余年。屈原是世界四大文化名人中的一員，也是我國杰出的大文豪，最早的偉大愛國詩人，還是偉大的政治家、思想家、外交家和改革家。屈原，名平，字原，又名正則，表字靈均。“正則”即“平”，以法天：“靈均”即“原”，以法地。戰(zhàn)國時期楚國人，故里漢壽滄港。約生于公元前340年正月初7日(有說初5日)，逝于公元前278年，5月初5日，享年62歲。屈原是楚武王熊通之后，“屈”是楚國(昭、屈、景)三族中第一個大旺族。武王把次子“瑕”分封在屈的地方，即今日的漢壽境地。“瑕”就以“屈”為他的派稱，以后便成了“屈”姓。從“瑕”到屈原已有5百多年的歷史。屈原的祖父屈宜恤，做過宣王時的司馬，威王時的“莫敖”，是威震諸侯的大將軍，屈原的父親屈丐，字伯庸，是統(tǒng)帥楚國最精銳“申息”之師的大將軍。

　　屈原幼年，入公侯子第學(xué)校讀書，資質(zhì)聰穎，過目不忘，又日夜苦讀，積累了不少文、史、神話和天文方面的知識，加之其父母教育甚嚴(yán)，公認(rèn)他是王族子弟中的姣姣者，

　　屈原青年時，就明于治理，嫻于辭令。德才兼?zhèn)洌�又是武王的后裔，懷王很器重他。約18歲就選入王室，20歲就奉命第一次出使(使者相當(dāng)大夫)齊國，出色地完成了六國聯(lián)盟的重任。約22歲被任為左徒(太傅，即國王的秘書長)僅次于令尹(宰相)，職位極大，并與楚懷王“成言”，即對天盟誓，君臣志同到老。便參與懷王內(nèi)政外交的重大決策。他積極主張明王法度。舉賢薦能，聯(lián)齊抗秦，統(tǒng)一中國，實現(xiàn)“美政”，懷王樂意采納。然而以南后鄭袖為首的貴族集團(tuán)嫉妒屈原，反對改革，盡力讒毀，昏君糊涂地把他流放，此時屈原約30歲。

　　屈原離京后，前往江南途中，因秦魏攻楚時，懷王想起屈原，便派人找回了他，懷王命他第二次出齊，聯(lián)齊抗秦，憑自身的才名和三寸不爛之舌，一舉說服齊宣王。但是，張儀又勾結(jié)南后再次詆毀屈原，懷王勃然大怒，改任他為三閭大夫，此職是掌管王族三姓的有關(guān)事務(wù)，負(fù)責(zé)譜牒，祭祀和教育等。雖職位較高，但不能面見國王。當(dāng)懷王出秦赴約時，容顏憔悴的屈原，跪在路邊哭勸，反被奸臣靳尚推倒在地，飛車而去，其惡果懷王被扣，囚禁三年，死于秦國，這時屈原已42歲。

　　屈原聽說懷王靈柩已回，赴京扶柩痛哭，并奉勸襄王與秦斷交，襄王已動心而未成行，反娶秦王之女，認(rèn)賊作父，屈原竟拼命求見，在宮門口卻碰上子蘭，他大聲怒罵子蘭。第二天，子蘭向襄王極力屈原，襄王大怒，便撤了他三閭大夫之職，流放江南很久他已50余歲了。

　　屈原離開郢都，沿長江而下，滿懷悲憤，憂愁交加，便寫下了《離騷》。在流浪中寫了《招魂》，還設(shè)靈位誦此詩祭祀懷王。以后過洞庭、逆沅水，回到漢壽滄港故里住了很久。在此期間他每天在河邊湖畔走來走去，獨(dú)吟詩歌。他已面黃肌瘦，形若枯槁。一天在滄浪河畔遇漁父相交談心，便寫下了《漁父》。爾后，他離家行至湘水時，秦軍破郢都，聞此消息，他更憂國憂民，心似火焚，就寫下最后一首《懷沙》詩，表明他堅守忠潔、誓死不屈的決心。于5月5日自沉汩羅江，年62歲，故里滄港人民一聽到屈原投河，立刻去汩羅撈尸，并將包好的粽子投入河中，以免魚龍傷害尸體。年年如此，便成了端午龍舟競渡和包粽子的傳統(tǒng)風(fēng)俗。

　　1953年，農(nóng)歷5月初5日，我國廣泛開展了紀(jì)念屈原的活動。同年9月，世界和平理事會開會紀(jì)念屈原，號召全世界人民向他學(xué)習(xí)。

　　屈原創(chuàng)造了與日月爭光的楚辭25篇，其中23篇是在故里滄港寫就。《離騷》是中國詩壇的杰作。也是世界著名的史詩，譯成許多國家的文字。在很多國家的圖書館里還掛著屈原的畫像。《國風(fēng)》和《離騷》合稱為“風(fēng)騷”，連詩人也稱“騷人”。抗日時期，曾一時定5月5日為“詩人節(jié)”。

　　屈原雖已離我們2283周年了，但他的著作是全世界人民的精神財富，具有深遠(yuǎn)的歷史意義。和偉大的現(xiàn)實意義。我們不僅要世代緬懷他，而且要廣泛宣傳和認(rèn)真學(xué)習(xí)他。我們要學(xué)習(xí)他堅持奮進(jìn)的思想，忠誠高潔的品德，寧死不屈的意志和愛國愛民的偉大精神。

　　明朝“宰相之杰”張居正，字叔大，號太岳，湖廣江陵(今屬湖北)人，又稱張江陵。明代政治家，改革家。嘉靖二十六年(1547年)進(jìn)士，由編修官至侍講學(xué)士令翰林事。隆慶元年(1567年)任吏部左侍郎兼東閣大學(xué)士。隆慶時與高拱并為宰輔，為吏部尚書、建極殿大學(xué)士。萬歷初年，與宦官馮保合謀逐高拱，代為首輔。當(dāng)時神宗年幼，一切軍政大事均由居正主持裁決，前后當(dāng)國10年，實行了一系列改革措施，收到一定成效。他清查地主隱瞞的田地，推行一條鞭法，改變賦稅制度，使明朝政府的財政狀況有所改善;用名將戚繼光、李成梁等練兵，加強(qiáng)北部邊防，整飭邊鎮(zhèn)防務(wù);用潘季馴主持浚治黃淮，亦頗有成效。萬歷十年(1582年)卒，贈上柱國，謚文忠。死后不久即被宦官張誠及守舊官僚所攻訐，籍其家;至天啟時方恢復(fù)名譽(yù)。著有《張?zhí)�岳集》、《書�?jīng)直解》等。“公安派”文學(xué)才子三袁，當(dāng)代著名文學(xué)家曹禺、鄒荻帆、歐陽山等，都是荊州人。

　　荊州市是楚文化的發(fā)祥地，中外聞名的三國古戰(zhàn)場，湘鄂西革命根據(jù)地的中心，是國務(wù)院首批公布的全國24座歷史文化名城之一，地處長江三峽旅游線、古三國旅游線、楚文化旅游線上，人文景觀很多，歷史遺跡遍布全市，現(xiàn)有國家級重點(diǎn)文物保護(hù)單位5處：雞公山遺址、楚紀(jì)南城、八嶺山古墓群、荊州古城墻、湘鄂西革命根據(jù)地舊址;省級重點(diǎn)文物保護(hù)單位32處，市9(縣)級重點(diǎn)文物保護(hù)單位500余處。荊州自古為兵家必爭之地。三國時，魏、蜀、吳為奪取荊州，不是留下了“劉備借荊州”、“關(guān)羽大意失荊州”等許多動人的故事，而且留下了大量的三國遺址。主要有江陵的關(guān)公點(diǎn)將臺、馬跑泉，洪湖的曹操灣、烏林寨，監(jiān)利的子龍崗、華容道，石首的繡林鎮(zhèn)、劉郎浦，公安的孫夫人城等。荊州城有保存完好的古城墻，歷經(jīng)1800多年，古貌猶存。現(xiàn)存城規(guī)模之大保存之好，為我過南方所僅有，在全國也為數(shù)不多。城內(nèi)有建于唐代的開元觀、玄妙觀，建于明代的太暉觀，建于清代的文廟、關(guān)廟和鐵女寺。據(jù)考古發(fā)現(xiàn)、，荊州早在五千年前就是原始人類生存的地區(qū)，城北的雞公山就是五萬年至二十萬年前的一處舊石器時代的遺址。五、六千年前，人類在荊州大地上創(chuàng)造了燦爛的屈家?guī)X文化和石家河文化。春秋戰(zhàn)過時代，青銅器冶煉技術(shù)，煅鑄鐵技術(shù)，絲織刺繡技術(shù)和漆器工藝技術(shù)都處于世界領(lǐng)先水平;老莊哲學(xué)、楚辭文學(xué)和音樂舞蹈也都登上了古代世界文明的殿堂。楚故都紀(jì)南城及其周圍，有楚城遺址5座，楚文化遺址83處，大型古墓800多處，其中包括18個楚王的葬墓。三國時期，諸葛亮稱荊州“北據(jù)漢沔，利盡南海，東連吳會，西通巴蜀，此用武之過也。”魏、蜀、吳三國的眾多政治家、軍事家圍繞荊州斗智斗勇，留下了無數(shù)膾炙人口的故事和許多三國勝跡。

　　荊州自古人杰地靈，素有“唯楚有才”之譽(yù)。世界四大歷史文化名人之一的屈原，就曾在這里任職20余年。屈原是世界四大文化名人中的一員，也是我國杰出的大文豪，最早的偉大愛國詩人，還是偉大的政治家、思想家、外交家和改革家。屈原，名平，字原，又名正則，表字靈均。“正則”即“平”，以法天：“靈均”即“原”，以法地。戰(zhàn)國時期楚國人，故里漢壽滄港。約生于公元前340年正月初7日(有說初5日)，逝于公元前278年，5月初5日，享年62歲。屈原是楚武王熊通之后，“屈”是楚國(昭、屈、景)三族中第一個大旺族。武王把次子“瑕”分封在屈的地方，即今日的漢壽境地。“瑕”就以“屈”為他的派稱，以后便成了“屈”姓。從“瑕”到屈原已有5百多年的歷史。屈原的祖父屈宜恤，做過宣王時的司馬，威王時的“莫敖”，是威震諸侯的大將軍，屈原的父親屈丐，字伯庸，是統(tǒng)帥楚國最精銳“申息”之師的大將軍。

　　屈原幼年，入公侯子第學(xué)校讀書，資質(zhì)聰穎，過目不忘，又日夜苦讀，積累了不少文、史、神話和天文方面的知識，加之其父母教育甚嚴(yán)，公認(rèn)他是王族子弟中的姣姣者，

　　屈原青年時，就明于治理，嫻于辭令。德才兼?zhèn)洌�又是武王的后裔，懷王很器重他。約18歲就選入王室，20歲就奉命第一次出使(使者相當(dāng)大夫)齊國，出色地完成了六國聯(lián)盟的重任。約22歲被任為左徒(太傅，即國王的秘書長)僅次于令尹(宰相)，職位極大，并與楚懷王“成言”，即對天盟誓，君臣志同到老。便參與懷王內(nèi)政外交的重大決策。他積極主張明王法度。舉賢薦能，聯(lián)齊抗秦，統(tǒng)一中國，實現(xiàn)“美政”，懷王樂意采納。然而以南后鄭袖為首的貴族集團(tuán)嫉妒屈原，反對改革，盡力讒毀，昏君糊涂地把他流放，此時屈原約30歲。

　　屈原離京后，前往江南途中，因秦魏攻楚時，懷王想起屈原，便派人找回了他，懷王命他第二次出齊，聯(lián)齊抗秦，憑自身的才名和三寸不爛之舌，一舉說服齊宣王。但是，張儀又勾結(jié)南后再次詆毀屈原，懷王勃然大怒，改任他為三閭大夫，此職是掌管王族三姓的有關(guān)事務(wù)，負(fù)責(zé)譜牒，祭祀和教育等。雖職位較高，但不能面見國王。當(dāng)懷王出秦赴約時，容顏憔悴的屈原，跪在路邊哭勸，反被奸臣靳尚推倒在地，飛車而去，其惡果懷王被扣，囚禁三年，死于秦國，這時屈原已42歲。

　　屈原聽說懷王靈柩已回，赴京扶柩痛哭，并奉勸襄王與秦斷交，襄王已動心而未成行，反娶秦王之女，認(rèn)賊作父，屈原竟拼命求見，在宮門口卻碰上子蘭，他大聲怒罵子蘭。第二天，子蘭向襄王極力 屈原，襄王大怒，便撤了他三閭大夫之職，流放江南很久他已50余歲了。

　　屈原離開郢都，沿長江而下，滿懷悲憤，憂愁交加，便寫下了《離騷》。在流浪中寫了《招魂》，還設(shè)靈位誦此詩祭祀懷王。以后過洞庭、逆沅水，回到漢壽滄港故里住了很久。在此期間他每天在河邊湖畔走來走去，獨(dú)吟詩歌。他已面黃肌瘦，形若枯槁。一天在滄浪河畔遇漁父相交談心，便寫下了《漁父》。爾后，他離家行至湘水時，秦軍破郢都，聞此消息，他更憂國憂民，心似火焚，就寫下最后一首《懷沙》詩，表明他堅守忠潔、誓死不屈的決心。于5月5日自沉汩羅江，年62歲，故里滄港人民一聽到屈原投河，立刻去汩羅撈尸，并將包好的粽子投入河中，以免魚龍傷害尸體。年年如此，便成了端午龍舟競渡和包粽子的傳統(tǒng)風(fēng)俗。

　　1953年，農(nóng)歷5月初5日，我國廣泛開展了紀(jì)念屈原的活動。同年9月，世界和平理事會開會紀(jì)念屈原，號召全世界人民向他學(xué)習(xí)。

　　屈原創(chuàng)造了與日月爭光的楚辭25篇，其中23篇是在故里滄港寫就。《離騷》是中國詩壇的杰作。也是世界著名的史詩，譯成許多國家的文字。在很多國家的圖書館里還掛著屈原的畫像。《國風(fēng)》和《離騷》合稱為“風(fēng)騷”，連詩人也稱“騷人”。抗日時期，曾一時定5月5日為“詩人節(jié)”。

　　屈原雖已離我們2283周年了，但他的著作是全世界人民的精神財富，具有深遠(yuǎn)的歷史意義。和偉大的現(xiàn)實意義。我們不僅要世代緬懷他，而且要廣泛宣傳和認(rèn)真學(xué)習(xí)他。我們要學(xué)習(xí)他堅持奮進(jìn)的思想，忠誠高潔的品德，寧死不屈的意志和愛國愛民的偉大精神。

　　明朝“宰相之杰”張居正，字叔大，號太岳，湖廣江陵(今屬湖北)人，又稱張江陵。明代政治家，改革家。嘉靖二十六年(1547年)進(jìn)士，由編修官至侍講學(xué)士令翰林事。隆慶元年(1567年)任吏部左侍郎兼東閣大學(xué)士。隆慶時與高拱并為宰輔，為吏部尚書、建極殿大學(xué)士。萬歷初年，與宦官馮保合謀逐高拱，代為首輔。當(dāng)時神宗年幼，一切軍政大事均由居正主持裁決，前后當(dāng)國20xx年，實行了一系列改革措施，收到一定成效。他清查地主隱瞞的田地，推行一條鞭法，改變賦稅制度，使明朝政府的財政狀況有所改善;用名將戚繼光、李成梁等練兵，加強(qiáng)北部邊防，整飭邊鎮(zhèn)防務(wù);用潘季馴主持浚治黃淮，亦頗有成效。萬歷十年(1582年)卒，贈上柱國，謚文忠。死后不久即被宦官張誠及守舊官僚所攻訐，籍其家;至天啟時方恢復(fù)名譽(yù)。著有《張?zhí)�岳集》、《書�?jīng)直解》等。“公安派”文學(xué)才子三袁，當(dāng)代著名文學(xué)家曹禺、鄒荻帆、歐陽山等，都是荊州人。

　　荊州水陸交通發(fā)達(dá)，通信設(shè)備日趨完備。有干支公路1569條，全市在網(wǎng)通車?yán)锍?099.18公里，中心城區(qū)公交線路28條，運(yùn)營線路網(wǎng)長度138公里。207、318國道和宜黃公路貫穿全境。焦枝、荊沙鐵路穿越其間。以長江、漢江為主航道，水上運(yùn)輸便利。擁有程控電話、光纖通訊、彩色電視電話、數(shù)字微波等現(xiàn)代化通信設(shè)備，同時受世界上150多個國家和地區(qū)的郵電業(yè)務(wù)。

荊州古城英語導(dǎo)游詞 篇18

　　荊州古城又名江陵城。是我國歷史文化名城之一。 南鄰沙市，傍倚長江。城墻盤旋于湖光水色之中，依地勢而起伏，順湖池而迂回，蜿蜒伸展，狀若游龍。巍巍古城，已有20xx多年歷史，自秦漢起，聳有城廓，五代十國后，始建磚城，宋、元、明幾毀幾修。現(xiàn)保存完好的古城墻，為清順治三年(公元1646年)依明城垣所建，近年來，沿城墻內(nèi)外修建了許多新景點(diǎn)。

　　大家都知道《三國演義》里的劉備假意哭荊州、關(guān)公大意失荊州的故事。這里就是“兵家必爭之地。”的荊州。這個著名的文化名城，座落在遼闊富饒的江漢平原的西沿。漢朝的時候，全國劃分為三十六州，這里因北有荊山而得名。東晉以后，有幾個皇帝在這里建都，使這座城池成了歷代王朝屯兵置府的重鎮(zhèn)、兵家必爭之地。

　　荊州城由于地處江湖之會，是連接?xùn)|南西北水陸交通的樞紐，這里土地肥沃，氣候溫和，特產(chǎn)豐富，而且還曾是全國重要的商業(yè)中心之一，在西漢時期，名列南方五郡之冠。

　　荊州這個名稱，是上古大禹治水時所定的九州(冀、袞、青、揚(yáng)、荊、豫、梁、雍)之一，以當(dāng)時境內(nèi)荊山得名。三國以后，荊州城一直是州、郡一級的治所，有的還曾在此建都立國。

　　荊州古城分為三層，外邊是水城，中間是磚城，里面是土城。據(jù)說當(dāng)年為防止城基下陷，洪水泛城，右城腳條石縫中澆灌糯米漿，因而城墻特別堅固。傳說三國蜀將關(guān)云長鎮(zhèn)守荊州，忽遇九位仙女下凡。傳王母娘娘旨意，說荊州刀兵動得太多，要收回置于神地，不準(zhǔn)凡人爭奪。關(guān)公忠于其兄不讓荊州，于是想了一個計策，說：“你們在西北，我在東南，各筑一城，城周五千步，天黑始，雞鳴止，誰先筑好，誰就管理這個地方。，九仙女用衣裙兜土，關(guān)公伐蘆葦筑城。關(guān)公城就，九仙女城差一隅，雞尚未鳴。關(guān)公振動雞籠蘆席，公雞啼鳴，九仙女羞愧地上天去了。這就是現(xiàn)在荊州城北門外九女琢的來歷。又傳說張飛也挑擔(dān)土來幫二哥筑城，可是來晚了，便將土倒在東門外，現(xiàn)今人們都把這兩座小口山似的土叫“張飛一擔(dān)土”。這些都是神話傳說，然而關(guān)公為了防范東吳，在漢代舊城旁筑了一座新城，都是有歷史記載的。

　　荊州城北十華里，是春秋戰(zhàn)國時代中國南方最大城市的遺址——“楚紀(jì)南故城”。楚國有二十個國王，前后四百一十一年在這里建都。故城地上、地下、城內(nèi)、城外，蘊(yùn)藏著豐富的楚國文化。在這里隨手都可以揀到兩千多年前的瓦片和陶片。

　　在荊州古城內(nèi)有關(guān)三國的古跡，還有關(guān)公行軍的大鐵鍋、養(yǎng)馬槽;有呂蒙襲荊州時，守軍丟盔棄甲的擲甲山等等。城外，八嶺山中有關(guān)眾多有關(guān)三國關(guān)羽傳說的遺址。我們步下八嶺山南端的落帽臺，向山中進(jìn)發(fā)，穿過層層松林，來到關(guān)公刨泉處。泉邊碑文記載：“劉先主困當(dāng)陽時，關(guān)公引師救之，取道過此，人馬俱困，忠義感泉涌出，傳誦至今。”現(xiàn)在，這口泉的泉水，或為茶亭取水泡茶以待游人;或為酒廠取水釀酒，以款賓客。

　　悠久的歷史，給荊州留下了難以數(shù)計的古文物，現(xiàn)保存在荊州博物館內(nèi)的就有三千多件。以臥薪嘗膽聞名的越王勾踐，他所使用的一把寶劍，一九六五年在荊州城北出土。劍上有烏篆銘文：「越王勾踐，自作用劍」八個大字。劍身滿是菱形花紋，鑲嵌著三色玻璃和綠松石。劍刃極其鋒利，至今仍能吹毛斷發(fā)，削鐵如泥。

　　由于上學(xué)的原因,來到了這個古城,荊州雖不能與北京,上海那些大城市比,但它有它獨(dú)特的韻味,在荊州,最常見的就是它的古城墻了.這里共有7個城門,整個城市就是被城墻包圍著的.三月里,春暖花開,結(jié)伴一起騎著腳踏車,迎著暖暖的春風(fēng),把我們青春的腳步留在城墻腳下,也留下我們美好的回憶!

　　荊州還有很多有名的景點(diǎn):桃花島,荊州長江天鵝洲白暨豚國家級自然保護(hù)區(qū),萬壽寶塔,春秋閣,金鳳騰飛,三國公園,荊州博物館等等.現(xiàn)在正是去桃花村的大好時機(jī)呀,品嘗著農(nóng)家菜,看著片片桃花,心情豁然開朗的許多,在這里遠(yuǎn)離城市的喧鬧,好似來到了世外桃源呀!

荊州古城英語導(dǎo)游詞 篇20

　　各位嘉賓，大家上午好!

　　今天我們將參觀著名的荊州古城。

　　“聞聽三國事，每欲到荊州”。一提起荊州，您一定會自然而然地想到小說《三國演義》中劉備借荊州、魯肅討荊州、呂蒙襲荊州、關(guān)羽失荊州那些膾炙人口的三國故事，一百二十回《三國演義》，就有七十二回的內(nèi)容涉及荊州。千百年來，到荊州古城探詢?nèi)龂鴼v史煙云陳跡的憑吊者、訪古者、探幽者絡(luò)繹不絕。作為大家的實地導(dǎo)游，我很榮幸能夠借這樣一個機(jī)會把荊州古城逾兩千年來演變和發(fā)展的歷史畫卷展現(xiàn)給大家。

　　我們現(xiàn)在所處的位置是荊州城東門外，大家面前的這條幾十米寬的河流就是護(hù)城河，在打仗之時，它是抵御敵人攻城的一道天然屏障，而如今在這條河上，每年都會舉辦隆重的國際龍舟邀請賽。入城之前，首先請讓我給大家介紹一下荊州古城的歷史背景。

　　荊州城，又名江陵城。是目前我國南方保存最為完整的一座古代城池，也是1982年國務(wù)院首批公布的全國24座歷史文化名城之一;1996年，荊州古城墻被國務(wù)院公布為全國重點(diǎn)文物保護(hù)單位;20xx年時，以荊州古城為中心的荊州市又被國家旅游局命名為中國優(yōu)秀旅游城市。

　　回顧荊州的歷史，可以說與華夏上下五千年的文明史緊密相連。大家都知道，中華民族是炎黃子孫，黃帝和炎帝部落合并統(tǒng)一華夏后，“割地布九州”(冀、兗、青、徐、揚(yáng)、荊、豫、梁、雍)，荊州即為這古老的九州之一。

　　“荊州”這個名稱，最早見于戰(zhàn)國時期的典籍《尚書?禹貢》中的“荊及衡陽惟荊州”，當(dāng)時荊州的區(qū)域面積是很大的，春秋戰(zhàn)國時期的楚國便是興起于荊州域內(nèi)。據(jù)史料記載，周莊王八年(即公元前689年)，楚文王將都城遷往今天荊州城北五公里處的紀(jì)南城，楚國在此建都長達(dá)420xx年，前后經(jīng)歷了二十個國王，創(chuàng)造了與黃河流域中原文化輝映 并重，并可與古希臘、古羅馬文化相媲美的楚文化。相傳楚成王(公元前671至520xx年)在位時，為了畢覽長江勝景，在荊州城區(qū)營建了“飛樓百尺照湖水、上有燕趙千娥眉”的諸宮和宮船碼頭，這諸宮和宮船碼頭就是今天荊州城的雛形。秦昭王二十九年(即公元前278年)，秦國名將白起率兵攻打楚國，占領(lǐng)了江漢之間的地域，秦隨即在楚都設(shè)南郡，為當(dāng)時全國三十六郡之一。后來，秦又在今天荊州城的地方設(shè)立江陵縣，“以地臨江”、“近州無高山，所有皆陵阜”，故稱“江陵”。公元前120xx年，漢武帝建立荊州刺史部，為全國為十三州之一，從此，荊州開始成為行政區(qū)劃的名稱。

　　自秦漢以后，荊州成為歷代王朝封王置府的重鎮(zhèn)，一直是州、郡一級治所，有的朝代還曾在此建都立國。三國時，這里是爭霸的要津，孫劉聯(lián)合在赤壁一戰(zhàn)大破曹軍，劉備遂于次年向?qū)O權(quán)借得荊州，并以此為根基迅速發(fā)展蜀國勢力。此后，東晉末年的安帝，南朝時的齊和帝、梁元帝、后梁宣帝，隋時的后梁王以及唐末五代十國時的南平國王等，先后有11個紛爭王侯在此稱帝(王)建都，長達(dá)100余年。唐代的荊州是陪都，稱“南郡”，與長安城南北呼應(yīng)。宋朝建立后，于此置江陵府。元初改江陵府為上路總管府。明初又改設(shè)荊州府。清代則沿用明朝制度。民國時，荊州屬湖北省第四行政都察區(qū)。中華人民共和國成立后，荊州城是湖北省荊州地區(qū)專員公署和江陵縣人民政府機(jī)關(guān)所在地。1994年，原荊州地區(qū)和沙市市合并成立荊沙市，1997年更名為荊州市，荊州城為荊州市六縣市二區(qū)的荊州區(qū)所在地。

　　荊州城地處天下之中，江湖之會，歷來就是兵家必爭之地。諸葛亮曾說：“荊州北據(jù)漢沔、利盡南海，東連吳、會，西通巴、蜀，此用武之國”。漢代以耿直忠烈聞名的宰相李固，三國名將關(guān)羽、周瑜、呂蒙、陸遜，晉代文武雙全的大司馬陶侃都曾鎮(zhèn)守過荊州;晉代詩人謝靈運(yùn)、鮑照，唐代開明宰相張九齡、張柬之，大文學(xué)家韓愈、元稹以及宋代大政治家王安石等著名歷史人物，也都曾在荊州擔(dān)任過大小不同的職務(wù)。此外，歷代的許多次重大農(nóng)民起義，也都把荊州作為重要的攻奪目標(biāo)，如西漢末年的王匡、王鳳，唐末的黃巢，元末的陳友諒，明末的李自成和張獻(xiàn)忠等領(lǐng)導(dǎo)的農(nóng)民起義軍都曾攻占過荊州城。

　　除了是軍事要地，古代荊州城的經(jīng)濟(jì)與文化也是非常活躍和繁榮的。由于交通便捷、土地肥沃、氣候溫和、物產(chǎn)豐富，早在西漢時期，它已發(fā)展成為全國十大商業(yè)中心之一，名列南方五郡之首。南北朝時，便成為“長江中游第一城”，與下游著名的商業(yè)城市揚(yáng)州齊名，史稱“江左大鎮(zhèn)莫過荊、揚(yáng)”。雖然在西魏時期曾一度毀于戰(zhàn)難，但到中唐又逐漸恢復(fù)繁華且其規(guī)模約十倍于以前，所以荊州城在當(dāng)時被定位“陪都”，與長安、洛陽并稱。

　　荊州是楚文化的中心，是“鐘鳴楚天”的音樂、舞蹈之邦，享有“惟楚有才”的盛譽(yù)。千百年來，這里文化昌盛，人才輩出，孕育有楚國著名愛國詩人屈原、唐代著名邊塞詩人岑參、宋代“小萬卷”朱昴等一大批江陵才子。在政壇，從荊州走出的宰相有唐代劉洎、段文昌和“一門三相”的岑之本、岑長清、岑羲祖孫三代，最為著名的是明代宰相張居正，他力主革除弊政，發(fā)展經(jīng)濟(jì)，在當(dāng)時起到了一定的積極作用，為后人所崇敬。同時，荊州城旖旎的自然風(fēng)光和深厚的文化底蘊(yùn)，還吸引了歷代眾多知名文人志士前來觀光游覽、詠詩會友，漢代的司馬遷，魏晉南北朝的王粲、陶淵明，唐代的王維、孟浩然、李白、杜甫、劉禹錫、李商隱、杜牧，宋代的蘇軾、陸游及明清的袁宏道、王士禎等都曾游歷過荊州城，并留下大量的詩文佳作，其中最負(fù)盛名的當(dāng)屬李白《下江陵》一詩中“朝辭白帝彩云間，千里江陵一日還”的絕句了。

　　好了，說了這么多，大家對荊州古城的過去一定有了進(jìn)一步地了解吧。現(xiàn)在就讓我們一起去來看看現(xiàn)在的荊州城里到底是個什么樣子。請大家緊跟著我沿著右邊的人行道上城，左邊是馬道，如果您留意的話，就會發(fā)現(xiàn)砌成馬道的磚上刻有文字，這就是荊州古城墻上極為珍貴的銘文磚，又叫文字磚，它們記載了歷代修建荊州城墻的漫長歷史過程，反映了荊州所管轄的行政區(qū)域的變遷狀況，具有重要的歷史研究價值。

　　相傳在漢代荊州就筑有正規(guī)的城墻，后經(jīng)蜀將關(guān)羽、東吳守將朱然和東晉荊州刺史桓溫及梁元帝等12次維修擴(kuò)建，使荊州城更加堅實壯闊，但這都是土城墻。據(jù)史料記載，荊州最初的磚城墻始建于五代十國時期，荊南節(jié)度使高季興出于割據(jù)荊州自立為王的目的，于公元920xx年動用十幾萬軍民大修荊州磚城墻，筑城的磚不夠，就下令四處挖取墓磚，方圓五十里內(nèi)的墳?zāi)贡M遭挖掘。據(jù)說城墻筑成后，每到深夜，墻上便游蕩出無數(shù)的磷光，看上去像“鬼火”，令人毛骨悚然。北宋末年，因“靖康”戰(zhàn)火焚燒，城墻大毀。到了南宋時，荊州安撫史趙雄為了加強(qiáng)荊州防御，上奏淳熙皇帝準(zhǔn)許，于公元1187年大興土木，在11個月的時間內(nèi)重修起磚城墻，還在城墻上建造戰(zhàn)樓一千余間，這次筑城的磚為政府下令燒制的“專用城磚”，磚上有責(zé)任銘文，但沒有年號記載。后來，元兵攻占荊州城，忽必烈下令將城墻全部拆除。朱元璋建立明朝后，再次依舊基修復(fù)，并在城周開掘護(hù)城河。明末張獻(xiàn)忠率領(lǐng)農(nóng)民起義軍攻進(jìn)荊州城后，城墻又被憤怒的義軍所拆除。直至清順治三年(即公元1646年)，第三次在舊基上筑起城墻，這就是留存至今的荊州古城墻。城池構(gòu)筑十分堅牢，為了防止城墻因水侵腐蝕而下陷，城墻基腳全部用條石壘砌，墻面均用石灰糯米漿灌縫，盡管曾遭三毀三建，且歷經(jīng)三百多個春秋寒暑，該城墻依然保存完好。新中國成立以后，國家和當(dāng)?shù)卣�府對荊州古城進(jìn)行了重點(diǎn)保護(hù)，對荊州城及周邊環(huán)境加以改造、整治、修繕和擴(kuò)建，修建了內(nèi)環(huán)道和外環(huán)道，疏通治理了護(hù)城河，在東門外和新北門分別建起了鳳凰廣場和天問廣場，使荊州古城更加美麗、雄偉、壯觀，這就是各位今天看到的荊州城古老而新鮮的面孔。

　　另外，據(jù)專家考證指出，到目前為止，荊州城墻上發(fā)現(xiàn)最早的、有年號的文字磚是明洪武二年(即公元1369年)的，距今已有六百多年的歷史，此磚比新華社報道的、在萬里長城上發(fā)現(xiàn)的萬歷年間的文字磚要早220xx年。更令人稱奇的是，從文字磚上記載得知，這些磚不僅僅出自江漢平原，還有的來自省內(nèi)其他地方及省外的湖南、陜西、江西等地，由此可見當(dāng)時筑城工程之巨大。古代筑城，還體現(xiàn)出一種質(zhì)量管理的思想，歷代建筑或維修城墻所留下的或詳或簡的責(zé)任銘文，實際上都是一種公開的責(zé)任狀。從城磚上文字記載的內(nèi)容看，是十分細(xì)致嚴(yán)格的，除了記錄有制磚的時間和地點(diǎn)外，還有關(guān)于監(jiān)造人、制磚人、燒窯人、制磚費(fèi)用、承擔(dān)者姓名和具體負(fù)責(zé)的地方官員的詳細(xì)銘文。可見在當(dāng)時修筑荊州城墻時采取了“全民動員、上下動手、分工明確、責(zé)任到人”的做法。荊州之所以在古代一直被譽(yù)為“鐵打的荊州”，與這種“責(zé)任制”是分不開的。這也是我們今天需要從先賢那里學(xué)習(xí)和借鑒的。

　　大家仔細(xì)的觀察這些文字磚，細(xì)心的朋友還會發(fā)現(xiàn)在文字刻法上，既有陰刻，也有陽刻，還有陰陽兼刻;在書法字體上，既有行書，也有楷書;在字的寫法上，則既有繁體字，又有簡化字。因此，這些文字磚還有重要的藝術(shù)研究價值，值得進(jìn)一步開發(fā)和利用。

　　現(xiàn)在，我們登上了東門城樓，憑欄遠(yuǎn)眺，遙想關(guān)羽當(dāng)年，朱顏長髯，手握青龍偃月刀，您是否也壯心勃發(fā)，能夠體驗到“一夫當(dāng)關(guān)，萬夫莫開”的豪情呢?

　　從空中鳥瞰，荊州城墻就像一條游龍綿亙在水泊湖沼之中，呈不規(guī)則的橢圓形。整個城墻東西長3.75公里，南北寬1.2公里，周長10.5公里，城內(nèi)面積4.5平方公里。城墻高8.83米，頂面寬3至5米不等，底座寬10米左右。城墻上建有城垛4567個，炮臺26個以及藏兵洞4個。這些都是古代戰(zhàn)爭防御進(jìn)攻的工具。

　　荊州古城共建有六座城門，東北各兩座，西南各一座。東門名叫寅賓門，小東門名叫公安門，大北門名叫拱極門，又名柳門，小北門名叫遠(yuǎn)安門，南門名叫南紀(jì)門，西門名叫安瀾門。每座城門的名稱都與荊州的地理、歷史和習(xí)俗有關(guān)，如小東門，當(dāng)年劉備把油江口改為公安，迎娶孫夫人后乘船回荊州，在此門下舟登岸進(jìn)荊州城，故名公安名;又如大北門，古時候城北有通往京都的大道，仕宦遷官調(diào)職時，皆出此門，官員友朋送行時，在此折柳相贈，故又稱柳門。為什么古人不折桃李，卻偏要折柳相贈呢?這可是有來由的，據(jù)史書記載，我國自漢代起，親友臨別時折柳相贈漸成習(xí)俗，是因“柳”是“留”的諧音，折柳相贈有“挽留”、“留戀”之意。除小東門之外，其他五座城門均有閭門，為二重門，二門之間有甕城，二重門各設(shè)一個木質(zhì)對開門，木門內(nèi)還有一道10厘米厚的閘板，以防水患。此外，六座城門上原來都建有城門樓，東門城樓叫賓陽樓，小東門城樓叫望江樓，大北門城樓叫景龍樓，小北門城樓叫朝宗樓，南門城樓叫曲江樓，西門城樓叫九陽樓，由于朝代更替，歷史變遷，加上戰(zhàn)火的破壞，原有的城樓除大北門上的景龍樓為清朝道光十八年(即公元1838年)重修保存至今外，都已不復(fù)存在了。我們現(xiàn)在所在的東門賓陽樓，是國家為了發(fā)展荊州旅游事業(yè)，修繕和保護(hù)荊州古城于20世紀(jì)80年代撥款仿古重建的。

　　荊州城內(nèi)外還零星散落著一些歷史遺跡，也是值得大家前往一游的地方，如城內(nèi)的開元觀、玄妙觀、鐵女寺、文廟、關(guān)帝廟，城外的太暉觀、關(guān)公點(diǎn)將臺、張飛一擔(dān)土等，除了城墻和這些歷史遺跡外，在荊州城內(nèi)再難看到古老的建筑，取而代之的是鱗次櫛比的高樓大廈。隨著時間的推進(jìn)，昔日荊州城內(nèi)的小街小巷也有寬闊的馬路代替，形成縱橫交錯、井然有序的公路網(wǎng)。為了適應(yīng)現(xiàn)代交通工具的需要，在東、南、北三面的城墻上又開鑿了適合公交車輛通行的三座新城門，使今天荊州城的城門變?yōu)榱?座。荊州古城內(nèi)四處透射著現(xiàn)代氣息，商業(yè)氛圍非常濃郁，大型的商場有荊州商場、荊州百貨大樓、荊州華聯(lián)商廈、荊州楚天大樓等，在這些商場里各類商品應(yīng)有盡有，如果您想購買一些荊州的土特產(chǎn)品帶回家作為紀(jì)念或饋贈親朋，我在此可以如數(shù)家珍地把荊州風(fēng)物介紹給大家，請大家用心聽好嘍：在聚珍園這座有著百年歷史的老飯店里可以買到正宗的江陵八寶飯，在荊州百貨大樓里可以買到香酥可口的江陵九黃餅，在荊州絲綢廠里可以買到稱心如意的織錦緞、仿古綢等絲綢產(chǎn)品，在荊州工藝美術(shù)廠還可以買到品種各異的仿古漆器……

　　好了，荊州古城的有關(guān)情況就給大家介紹到這兒了。現(xiàn)在給大家一刻鐘的時間自由活動，大家可以在此拍照留念。
