Tang's Daming Palace

很漂亮吧？這就是唐大明宮遺址了。大家跟我進去吧。

“大明宮”是貞觀八年（634年）唐太宗李世民為其父李淵修建的一座避暑宮殿，位于宮城東北角茶苑內(nèi)的龍首原上，原名“永安宮”，次年改名為“大明宮”，亦稱“蓬萊宮”，后又進行擴建。龍朔二年（662年），唐高宗李治由太極宮遷至大明宮居住和處理政務(wù)，由此，唐朝歷代帝王都住在大明宮。

大明宮遺址位于西安市北郊龍首原上，創(chuàng)建于公元634年，是唐長安城三大宮殿之一，宮平面略呈梯形，面積約3.2平方千米。宮南部為前朝，以自南而北的含元殿、宣政殿和紫宸殿為中心組成。宮北部內(nèi)庭中心為太液池。

“含元殿”是大明宮的正殿，龍朔二年（662年）建成，修筑于3米多高的龍首原上，東有翔鸞，西有棲鳳二閣以及通往平地的龍尾道，這里是皇帝勤政和外朝的地方。

除了含元殿之外，還有麟德殿，這是大明宮內(nèi)規(guī)模最大的宮殿，因建于高宗麟德年間而得名。這里東臨太液池風景區(qū)，西近大明宮西邊的九仙門，較便于大臣們出入，因而成為皇帝召見大臣、接見外國使臣和舉行宴會的地方。

參觀完這里我們要到今天的最后一個景點了，那就是大興善寺。

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－h(huán)ead 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－h(huán)ead 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.

快樂旅途

行　李

Luggage

一個商人拖著他那超大旅行袋登上飛機。在一位空中服務(wù)員的幫助下，他終于設(shè)法將旅行袋塞進了頭頂上的行李箱里。

“您總是攜帶這么重的行李嗎？”她嘆息道。

“再也不會了，”那人說道，“下次，我將藏在旅行袋里，讓我的同伴來買票?！?/p>

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！”
