And since you have came to our Henan, be about to Henan understand somewhat.

Henan situated right in the heart of china with an area of 160 thousand square kilometers in area, and a population of 88.1 million. The output of Crop is amongst the most important in the whole country. Henan is a source of ancient civilization. It holds a very important position in Chinese history. In China‘s history of over six thousand years, more than 20 dynasties had their capitals settled in Henan. Of the eight ancient capitals, four of them, namely Luoyang, Kaifeng, Anyang and Zhengzhou, are in Henan. They have left numerous historical relics and places of interest . there also have been lots of noted persons who have been very closely related to henan ,namely laozi the founder of Daoism ,huangdi and fuxi ,the china‘s ancestors .

The city Zhengzhou also has enjoyed a reputation of ―green city ‖ for years ,for the city has beautified with various kinds of trees . The steep hills on our sides is sealed mid-sacred mountain ,by the first female

emperor wuzetian . It is best known for its natural beauty, geological importance, and natural beauty ,but also for the rich historic sites scattering all over the

taoists had been here and left us numerous things like Buddhist monasteries ,Taoist temples and memorial temples here and there .and here three religions have been coexisting in harmony for years .mount songshan also is a place of various geologic structures and has been regarded as a ‖ natural museum of geology‖ .

Ok, ladies and gentlemen, may I have your attention please? Soon we‘ll get to our destination –the Number One Temple under Heaven, the ShaoLin Monastery.Next I‘d like to this opportunity to give you a brief introduction on it .

ShaoLin Monastery is the cradle of chan sect of Bodhidharma and shaolin martial arts.It‘s situated 70km southeast from Luoyang and 85km southwest to Zhengzhou. ShaoLin Monastery gained its present name for being located in the thick woods of the shaoshi hill meaning ―temple in the woods of Shaoshi Hill‖.It was built in the 19th year of Taihe of the northern Wei dynasty .Emperor xiaowen ,gave an imperial edict to built the temple for setting an Indian senior monk named Batuo.He began to widely enroll students to learn the chan sect in shaolin temple . As you know, the shaolin monastery is widely known not only for its ancient and mysterious Buddhist culture, but also for its martial arts, that is Kungfu in Chinese, which enjoys a tradition of some 2000 years. So that‘s the saying ―Chinese Kungfu taking the first place under the heaven‖ and ―the best kungfu originating from shaolin monastery.‖ In the year 2000, the temple sightseeing zone was designated to be one of the AAAA-grade tourist attraction of China by the National Tourism Administration.

What we see now is The Front gate hall,which was built in Qing Dynasty. Above the front gate hangs a plaque in Emperor Kangxi‘s handwriting "Shaolin Temple".These is a pair of stone lions in front of the entrance gate ,which guard the shaolin temple .The laughing Buddha is welcoming you with a smile .

Ok please follow me. Next we arrive at the Hall of Heavenly Kings. On both sides in front of the hall stand the statues of two guardian spirits of buddhist law known as Jinggang in China,nameed ―Heng‖, ―Hha‖.The gate of the hall is guarded by two figures depicting Vajra (Buddhist warrior attendants)

Just now, we have visited the Front Gate Hall, steles, ginkgos, and the Hall of the Heavenly Kings, and now, we are just in the principal hall in the temple, the Hall of Mahavira. Buddhas of the Middle, East and West are enshrined in this hall, respectively Sakyamuni Buddha 婆娑世界的释迦牟尼） （ , Pharmacist Buddha（东方净琉璃世界的药师佛） and Amitabha Buddha（西方极乐世界的阿 弥陀佛）. Figures of Kingnaro (紧那罗王=the founder of Shaolin Cudgel) and Dharma (the founder of Chinese Zen Buddhism) stand beside those three Buddhas, a placement which is very different from other Mahavira Halls. At the feet of the pillars（柱子） in this Mahavira Hall are stone lions（麒麟） that are more than one meter (about 3.33 feet) high. On the ground there are 48 small food-pits, 20 centimeters (about 7.87 inches) deep. It is said that they are the footprints left by monks when they practiced Shaolin Martial Arts. Along the gable walls, sit 18 Buddhist Arhats, who were enlightened Buddhist monks.On both sides in front of the Hall of Mahavira, stand the Bell Tower and the Drum Tower symmetrically. They were rebuilt in 1994 used to

report hours for the temple. Normally the bell is used in the morning, while the drum, in the afternoon, hence the saying ―morning bell and afternoon drum‖.

In front of the Bell Tower is the stele called ―the Stele of Li Shimin‖ telling the story about how the monks from the Shaolin Monastery rescued Prince Li Shimin from being pursued and attacked by Wang Shichong during the late Sui Dynasty. Li Shimin, who later became the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty wrote the inscriptions on the stele personally,and left with a signature of Shi min on the stele. Ok please come with me, we are going to the next hall. So now, the pavilion in front of us, not like the Zangjing ge and the Abbot‘s rooms we visited just now, enjoys a moving story. It‘s named Dharma‘s Pavilion or Lixue Pavilion, that is ―Standing in the snow‖ in English. It says: After Boddhi Dharma came to China, many Chinese Buddhist believers wanted to be his followers, and Shengguang was the most prominent of all of them. He always followed him whenever and wherever he went and served Dharma whole-heartedly. But Dharma didn‘t agree to accept Shengguang as a disciple. Shengguang didn‘t lose heart and became even more steadfast. On a snowy night, he begged as usual with Budhidharma outside, standing in the knee-high snow. The master set forward a prerequisite: he would not meet his demand unless it would snow in red flakes. Shengguang drew out the sword and cut off his left arm and stained the snowy ground. 1 Bodhidharma was so moved that he passed his mantle, alms bowl and musical instruments on to Shengguang and gave him a Buddhist name of Huike. He was regarded as the secend founder of the Zen sect. Emperor Qianlong wrote a phrase on a plaque in commemoration Alright everyone, now we are in the last hall, Pilu Hall, also called a Thousand Buddha Hall. It‘s also the largest structure of the Shaolin Monastery. This is just the highlights of the sightseeing zone. So until now, the visit in the Shaolin Monastery is almost over. I think you may have some questions about the temple, or you want to take some photos. So, please do remember, you have half an hour. After half an hour we will gather at the Front Gate Hall, and make sure you‘ll be there on time. And then we are going to the Pagoda Forest. Thank you for your attention!

龙门石窟

So now let me give you a general introduction first

Luoyang is famous both for its long history of ancient culture and modern industry .But it is more famous for being ancient capitals for thirteen dynasties such as :the Xia ,the Shang ,the eastern Zhou and the western Zhou ect .During the time of serving ad capital for 1500years ,Luoyang was always the center of capital ,economic ,culture .the tri-colored glazed pottery enjoys high reputation and spread far and wide ,which we are going to seeing during your stay .peony as the symbol flower of Luoyang ,has been planted in Luoyang about 1500years ago .it is known as national beauty and heavenly fragrance .around April every year ,the flower comes into bloom ,decorating the city with flooding colors . Besides , here you can taste some delicious food ,such as water banquet of Luoyang ,Luoyang swallow dish ,noodles in soybean milk and boiled tripe. Here we are .if you want to know the rise and fall of china, please just look at the city of Luoyang .

The well known longmen grottoes, which earn the fame of one of the Three Treasure Houses of Stone Sculpture in China is about thirteen kilometers south of Luoyang where the yi shui rivercht its way through the cliff and divided them into xiangshan hill and LongMen hill.longmen hill looks like a natural gate ,so came the ancient name ―yi que ‖.in sui dynsty the gate of the imperial palace was facing yique and emperors regarded themselves as the sons of the heaven ,so came the name longmen .(dragon gate in english )construction of the longmen grottoes began in 493 AD,about the time when emperor xiaowen of northen wei dynasty moved his capital here. which marked the initiation of development and expanse of Buddhism in Central China. According to the statistics conducted in recent years, there are 2300 caves and niches with over 100000 Buddhist figures. In addition, more than 2800 tablet inscriptions and some 40 Buddhist pagodas were preserved in or out of the caves .the grottoes have a great deal of remain of historical material about religious ,painting ,calligraphies ,music ,costumes ,medicine and construction , which makes the grottoes as a large stone-sculpture art museum.

Now, we‘ve got to the grottoes. Please get off the bus. Here is the Qianxi Temple. It was built in the early Tang Dynasty around 640 AD. It has altogether 7 Buddhist statues inside, of which, Buddha Amitabha is sitting in the central with 2 of his favorite disciples, 2 Bodhisattvas, and 2 Heavenly Kings.

Please come with me. Now we are in front of the Bin yang Caves. The Bin yang Caves consist 3 large caves, the North, the Middle and the South caves. The Mid and the South Bin yang Caves were built under Emperor Xuanwu for practicing the merits and virtues for his diseased parents, late Emperor Xiaowen and late Empress Dowager(遗孀) Wenzhao in 500 AD. While the North Bin yang cave was added for the late Emperor Xuanwu by a eunuch（太监） in the palace named Liu Tang in 508AD.

In the West Hill of Longmen, there are several ―the most‖ caves to feast your eyes. Just now, we visited the Ten-thousand Buddha Cave with 15000 Buddhist images, which has the most Buddha images, and the Lotus Cave with 2cm-high Buddha images, which are the tiniest Buddha images.

And now, we‘ve come to another ―most‖, the Fengxian Temple. So what highlights can we see here? I‘ll show you. One day in 655AD, Empress Dowager Wu Zetian cried in the palace. Emperor Gaozong asked her why she was so unhappy. She said: ―Do you think I am beautiful?‖ the Emperor answered: ―Of course, you are the most beautiful lady under heaven!‖ the Empress said: ―but sooner of later I would be ugly. Beauty cannot last long.‖ The Emperor Gaozong at once made the best artist in the palace paint a beautiful portrait of Empress Wu. But she still cried, she said: ―the portrait is beautiful, but after hundreds of years, it will rot and disappear.‖ The Emperor Gaozong suddenly saw the light. He issued an edict（法令） that a stone statue must be carved at once. Hearing this edict, Empress Wu was so pleased that she donated 20000 strings （串） of cash coins for her cosmetics（化妆品） and also attended the consecration（献祭仪 式） of the chief Buddha when the construction was thoroughly completed in order to shorten the time of the project. So the main Buddha Losana was carved according to Empress Wu‘s 6 appearance.

That is the legend.Now we see, the Buddha Losana is 17.14m high with its head 4m, each ear 1.9m, and flanked by 2 symmetrical disciples, Bodhisattvas, Heavenly Kings, and Great Men of Strength on both sides. The chief Buddha gives you an impression of dignified manner, magnificent looking, wise, farsighted and kind nature. Looking around the overall arrangement, we would rather say that the Fengxian Temple is a scene of a grand imperial court than a spot of Buddhism. Generally speaking, the Fengxian Temple is the most magnificent and artistic among all the shrines of the Tang Dynasty and as well as an example of success in integrating politics with Buddhism in ancient China.

Ok everyone, now you can take photos here. Or you can ask questions that you don‘t understand. After 15 minutes we will gather right here. See you then. 云台山

Now , we are already in Jiaozuo city .I would like to give you a few minutes‘ introduction about our pretty city – Jiaozuo. It situated in northwest henan just on the northern bank of the middle reaches of yellow river .jiaozuo is an industrial city ,famous for its coal industry .thus it earns the title ― coal city ‖ . it is also abundant in natural and cultural resources .mount yuntai is the best symbol .chenjiagou village the birth-place of china ‘s famous taiji boxing will remind you of the long – standing culture of Chinese kungfu and give you the chance to discern it personally .

Mt.Yuntai is located in Xiuwu Country ,Jiaozuo City,. It harbors a grand collection of national parks forest, geological reserve,protected watersheds,a nature preserve for rhesus monkey , a 5A tourist zone, a national scenic area and national natural heritage. In 2004,it was one of the first to be granted the status of World Geological Park by UNESCO.

Its immensity and mystery of the scene make us stand in awe . Mt.Yuntai ,known for ite ruggedness,means mountain of clouds as it is shrouded by clouds year round.Mt.Yuntai is part of the Taihang Mountains.Within its 190 aquar kilometers scenic area ,it boasts a rich collection of scenic spots for their beauty such as Red Rock Valley,Quanpu Gorge,.Tanpu Gorge,Zifang Lake,Wanshan Temple,Baijia Cliff,Cornus Peak,Rhesus Monkey Valley ,Colorful Cave,Blue Dragon Gorge, and Fenglin Gorge. These scenic spots offer an outdoor science class for tourists to study ecology,human history ,topography,water resources and stratum structure. Today,Mt.Yuntai is becoming an increasingly popular destination for domestic and international tourists. Some say the purpose of travel is to experience searching and the enjoyment of beauty . If this is what you want , then ,Mt.Yuntai will not make you disappoint.

The Red Rock Valley ,also known as the Warm Plate Valley as it is warm in winter and cool in summer.The valley has all the features of a Chinese potted landscape-asllent poem,an excellent painting ,and a living sculpture.That‘s why people call it a shrunk world of water and mountains and an enlarged spotted landscape.Getting close to the Red Rock Valley,one feels as if one is in a fairyland

unware of the nature unfolding in front the eyes.Is it real or is it an illusion? Xu Yizhen,a Magistrate of Huiqing once wrote: ―I wonder when the magic exe cleaved this valley into layers and when birds began flying in a line high above?Even the descending sun is reluctant to set .I hesitate and can not help to look back.‖ The Red Rock Valley stretches 1500m in length .It is 68m deep with its width at the widest point 20m and the marrowest point only several meters.Deep and narrow ,the valley is cool in the summer and warm in the winter.It is known as the Ever Spring Valley. Wind ,water ,even volcanic eruptions and erathquakes have sculpted this global masterpiece.After billions of years,rock strctum containing quartz sand was eventually exposed to the air.Iron oxide discolors the entire cliff wall.Hidden in the vast green,the red cliff looks like beautiful ribbons surging through the mountain ranges,creating a magnificent view.

The perimeter of the Zifang Lake is 4 km.The deepest point measures 65m.According to history ,Zhang liang,a renowned official,during the Western Han Dynasty,hid himself here in the Yuntai mountains after his falled assassination attempt on the Emperor Qin. As Zhang‘s country name was Zifang,the lake became Zifang Lake and the peak nearby the Zhang Liang Peak. ―The lake is boundless and still while the mountain ranges are dressed in spring color.‖You will acclaim with these words while standing in front of the lake.The Zifang Lake has high quality natural mineral water. In June 2002, the rare peach flower jellyfish was first discovered in the lake . Its name comes from the shape of its pedals.It has existed for over 650 million years.Together with wild horses and giant pandas, it‘s listed as the endangered species under state protection.

Waterfalls are one of the most magnificent views of Mt.Yuntai. The Yuntai Heavenly Waterfall is the one of the best. It plunges 314m ,the highest in China. The long descent in windy conditions renders the misty and vell-like falls to create a lazy and hazy quality.The spectacular scene was depicted in the poem of the great poet Libai:‖Streams of water plunge from high up in the sky; I thought it was the Milky Way fallling from the outer space.‖ The Quanpu Gorge stretches over 3 km,featuring deep water and high ridges. A chain of creeks and springs can be spotted througout the valley. Small streams flowing from the mountain top creating a striking contrast with the cascading sound of the Yuntai Heavenly Waterfall.Just as a poem describes:‖Thick strings sound like the sound of broken silk thread ,while thin strings , the sound of murmuring words.‖

As the old saying goes , a mountain with no water is boring. Being indulged in the sights here, your heart dances with the creek, merrliy crisscrossing around your feet .Trees grow out of the rocks in different shapes, creating wonders of the world. In his poem,a great man in China once described the relationship of stone with man .‖Just a few stones rubbed together signifies the difference between man and ape.‖ The poem refers to the important relationship of rocks in the evolution of man and the way man looks at stones.

As one of the first to be granted, the status of World Geological Park by UNESCO. Mt.Yuntai National Geological Park boasts great geological values.It accurately records the crustal movement and landform of Mt.Yuntai. you can not only

Setting up an alliance by the yellow Emperor and Emperor Yandi: Dating back our civilized history to 5000 years ago there lived many clans and tribes around the Yellow River and the Yangtze River. Both Yandi and Huangdi were tribal chiefs in their time. When the tribe lead by Yandi began to decline, Huangdi's tribe was flourishing. During this period, Chiyou often lead his stronger tribe to invade other tribes, and invaded Yandi's tribe. Yandi turn to Huangdi for help .With their combined forces, they defeated Chiyou, another tribal leader and Huangdi united China after 52 battles. Since then, the two tribes formed alliance and lived peacefully together. This is the origin of the Chinese nation, hence the Chinese always call themselves the descendents of Emperor Yandi and the Yellow Emperor.

Making Youxiong the Capital: Later, the Yellow Emperor was elected the head of all tribes. And he made Youxiong his capital, the first capital in Chinese history.

Holding High the Dragon Flag: after the capital was built, the Yellow Emperor raised his flag of dragon, symbolizing the unification of all tribes. Since then, dragon has been the symbol of Chinese nation. Many outstanding achievements were made during the reign of Huangdi in architecture, science and culture.

Eastern Wing Hall: there is the statue of LuoZu, the first wife of The Yellow Emperor。 She was the first person to raise silkworm and weave silk in ancient China and was an outstanding representative of ancient Chinese woman and was worshipped her as ―the first ancestor in silkworm raising‖.

The essence of scenic spots is mainly concentrated in the Southhill parts, but just the part we're going to visit today. Wait a moment, we will into the scenic spot on the left of the mountain, not far ahead, turn left , into hole ,pass the valley, climbing cliffs, and then reach the peak, about seven kilometers of the whole run-length, about 3.5 hours.

You will see his FeiTouDaEr, the opening mouth and vertical tongue and pretty belly poured drunk in hillside, his childlike scene is so lifelike that reluctant to leave.

And then, we can see a peak that is ―Beewax peak‖, why entitled this name? It is said that there are full of wild flowers on the whole hill, so many bees are collecting pollen come here. And the honey is too much and nobody collect it, so these honey were curdled in the stone. Every summer, the hill was shined by the strong sunlight irradiation; honey will be flowed out the stone, and the whole mountain looks like besmear covered with a thick layer of beeswax, so people put the mountain named "Beeswax Mountain".

Chaya Mountain, compared with other mountains has its unique, the upper mount roll over one another, everywhere is strange stone, and mountain peaks, but on the bottom have thousands of holes. The Million Man hole is one of the nine holes. Due to natural form of Million Man hole is the underground cave, so there are many holes in it, like a big giant maze. And the space of the hole can accommodate tens of thousands of people, therefore name for "million man hole".

Its leaf is thick and cold, and its dry resistance is strong. According to the provincial forestry bureau experts identified, it has been grow 600 years at here. Why it can survive in this environment?

Experts said that the root of the tree have a special function that its root can secrete(分泌) a kind of liquid that can dissolve microelement in the rock, the tree will rely on absorption this rarely microelement to keep its life. This also responds the saying:‖ The survival of the fittest‖(适者生存).

Leaved the yelangyu, then we came to the largest cave wuyang hole. It is said that the hole can be directly to wuyang. It is a Legend that a young pilgrims come to Cha Ya mountain pilgrimages, after his pilgrimage, he strolled about on the mountain, carelessly arrived this hole. In the cave he couldn't find the mouth of the cave, and go straight by feeling, when hungering to the batt cure within his cotton-padded clothes, thirsting to the spring in the hole. Until the batt cure was all eat, he just saw a light, discovered the hole. Got out the hole and asked others, just know that he is back to wuyang territory. After the spreading, no one believes it, but there are a few nosiness men who put 2 marked ducks in the hole. They didn't expect that the two ducks float out soon from a well, that near the hole where the young man out.

Now we came to the center of the scenic spot stone monkey park. Enter Monkey Park like into a monkey's warm home, three monkeys feel happy, pictured a harmonious family scenes. Look, there was a deep gorge in the north of the stone monkey park that is the boundary between Chaya Mountain‘s north hill and south hill.
