After nearly 100 years of dreaming and half a century of debate, the Three Gorges Project can be described as ill-fated. But in any case, a large-scale, majestic building in the world was miraculously born on the land under our feet. Now please join me on a tour of the Three Gorges Dam, the proof of this legend. The Three Gorges Dam Scenic Area is located in Yichang in the western part of Hubei Province, which is the sub-central city of Hubei Province and a famous hydropower tourism city in the world. The Three Gorges Project, Gezhouba and other large-scale water conservancy projects were built here. At the same time, Yichang is also an important area for the development of Chu culture and Ba culture, integrating historical culture and modern engineering, natural scenery and cultural landscape, and is an excellent tourist city in China and the best destination city for tourism in the Three Gorges.

The Three Gorges Dam Tourist Area, as the name suggests, is a tourist attraction that relies on the Three Gorges Water Conservancy Project of the Yangtze River to display the engineering culture and water conservancy culture in an all-round way. The Three Gorges Project is a large-scale water conservancy project in China and the world, and a key project for governance and development.

Tourists and friends, today we are going to visit the three scenic spots of Tanziling, 185 Observation Deck, and Interception Memorial Park. What we are looking at now is a 1:1250 miniature model of the Three Gorges Project, which reflects the landscape of the dam area after the full completion of the Three Gorges Project in '09. Let's confirm where we are now! Of course, it is Tanziling, the origin of its name is because its mountain shape resembles the Sichuan people to make kimchi jar upside down on the top of the mountain, the altitude is 262.48 meters, as long as you climb the top viewing platform of Tanziling, you can overlook the whole picture of the construction of the Three Gorges Dam area, enjoy the beautiful scenery of Xiling Gorge Huangniuyan and the prospect of Zigui New County. The blue water flow on the model represents the Yangtze River, how to distinguish between the left and right banks of the Yangtze River? Standing along the river, your right hand direction is the right bank, which is commonly known as Jiangnan, and on the other hand, the side you just came to is the left bank of the Yangtze River, that is, Jiangbei, and your back is the direction of Yichang, the lower reaches of the Yangtze River. Now you can get out of the model room and take a look at the huge book of heaven here - the daguerreotype of the book of heaven. I can tell you without exaggeration that it is the biggest book in China at the moment. Everyone saw that the book had been opened, and it recorded the relevant introduction of the Three Gorges Project. Now you can climb Tanziling to experience the whole view of the dam for yourself.

Tourists and friends, everyone is welcome to take our sightseeing bus to the next scenic spot 185 viewing platform, because of its high altitude of 185 meters, so named 185 viewing platform. It is the same height as the crest of the dam, and from the left-hand side it is the front of the completed barrage. The closest thing to us is the construction site of the vertical ship lift. From your right-hand side, you will see the Three Gorges Reservoir, which has reached a water level of 165 meters. The normal storage level of the dam is 175 meters, which is 10 meters above our feet. Now we get off the bus and have an unobstructed view of the back of the dam and the magnificent view of the high gorge out of Pinghu. Here you can look down down at the flood scene up close, and the thunderous torrent is trampled underfoot. The barrage dam, double-line five-level locks, vertical ship lifts, power station buildings on the left and right banks, and underground power plants on the right bank have jointly created this brilliant Pearl of the Three Gorges. Therefore, standing in this area, which is the best of many projects in the world, the pride and pleasure in my heart are really beyond words!

Tourists, we are about to arrive at the last attraction, the Interception Memorial Park. If you say that in Tanziling, the 185 observation deck looks at the Three Gorges Dam and the flood gate, which is breathtaking, and the song is to go east of the river; Then to the Three Gorges Interception Memorial Park is full of lyricism, reciting historical witnesses. Now, please join me on another tour to reminisce about this great history.

The Memorial Park is a comprehensive park with the theme of showing the spectacular scene of the interception, which was completed and opened in 1995 in the Three Gorges Dam area. It is the first water conservancy project theme park in China with the theme of interception of the Three Gorges Project, integrating sightseeing, popular science, performance, leisure and other functions. The scenic spot you see covers an area of 93,000 square meters with an investment of more than 30 million. The scenic area is divided into four areas, including the entrance area, the variety show viewing area, the site exhibition area and the amusement and rest area, and is composed of more than a dozen landscapes such as the interception record wall, the performing arts square, the hydrophilic platform, the phantom imaging, the large-scale mechanical exhibition field, the climbing tetrahedron, and the flat throwing boat. The interception of the flow is the most exciting scene of the construction of the hydropower project, and the memorial park of the interception of the flow of the Yangtze River officially follows the theme of the interception of the Yangtze River, and reproduces this naturally amazing feat of transformation. The Three Gorges Interception Park embodies the spirit of the cultural theme of the interception of the river in which man conquers the sky and the unity of man and nature. In the landscape design of the whole park, the theme of interception shows the distinctive image characteristics of the Yangtze River, dams, and projects, and creates a unique heritage landscape effect of water conservancy projects. As much as possible, the first-class engineering piles and objects on the original site have been retained, as you can see: the partition wall used to support the stacking of sand and gravel, more than 100 tetrahedron left over from the interception of the flow, and large construction machinery such as 77-ton loading and unloading trucks and flat throwing ships. Now you see the four big characters written in golden font "interception reproduction" is our interception reproduction screening room, which uses modern high-tech phantom imaging technology to intuitively and vividly reproduce the interception of the Three Gorges of the Yangtze River. Do you look at these as if you are in the hot construction scene? The completion and opening of the Three Gorges Interception Memorial Park seems to reflect the cultural connotation of the Three Gorges Project, adding a beautiful scenery to the Three Gorges tour, as everyone can see, not only makes our eyes enjoy, but also allows us to have a certain understanding of the history of the dam.

Tourists and friends, after reading these historical witnesses reproduced by interception, everyone should have a lot of emotion and emotion in their hearts! Then let's quietly end our visit today with this emotion and emotion! Although there is a lot of reluctance to say goodbye to everyone after this short acquaintance, there is no banquet in the world that will not be dispersed, and I look forward to meeting you again. Thank you for your cooperation and cooperation during the tour, and if there is anything wrong in the process, I hope you will give me valuable advice and let me learn to grow from you. Finally, I would like to send my most sincere blessings: I wish everyone to give strength to the gods and horses every day in the future, which is the peculiarity of Xianling. Although Zhu Youyuan did not become emperor during his lifetime, after his death was his son, Zhu Houxuan, the Jiajing Emperor of the Ming Dynasty, who later became emperor, not only posthumously recognized him as emperor, but also built the largest imperial mausoleum in Chinese history for him. In order to make the scale of the Xianling Tomb exceed that of the Chinese imperial tombs, Emperor Jiajing reigned for more than 40 years, used the treasury for more than 40 years, and tens of thousands of laborers built for more than 40 years before it was built into today's scale. It is also the world's longest construction period and one of the largest in the world.

First of all, it completely retains and embodies the feudal ritual system, plays a role in connecting the previous and the next, and affects the shape of the Qing Dynasty imperial tomb, he is the most outstanding representative of the Ming Dynasty imperial tomb, it itself has the uniqueness of other imperial tombs: one of the tombs and two mounds, for the past dynasties of the imperial tombs unique! China does not have it, and there is no second one in the world! The gold-bottle-shaped Outer Luo City, the Imperial River with the Nine Curved Loops, the Dragon-shaped Shinto, and the Circular Inner and Outer Mingtang are also absolutely absent from other imperial tombs. Secondly, the construction of the tomb is based on the principle of "the mausoleum is commensurate with the landscape" in the Chinese feng shui theory, and the landscape is regarded as an organic part of the mausoleum and the layout is unified. The building is located on the hill and is scattered, constituting a genius masterpiece that combines architectural art and environmental aesthetics. More importantly, the construction of the Xianling Tomb was the product of the "Great Ritual Dispute", a major historical event in the early years of Jiajing in the Ming Dynasty. There are so many peculiarities about the tomb that meet the relevant standards of the United Nations for world heritage, and even the United Nations World Heritage expert Jean Louis was amazed, saying that the tomb is really a "magical and obvious tomb". I don't know how everyone will feel after visiting the Tomb! What will be the evaluation! Okay, everyone, now that you have set foot on the imperial mausoleum of the Ming Dynasty, please remain quiet and let me bring you back to the Ming Dynasty......

First of all, we see this stele called "dismount stele", engraved on the "officials and people get off the horse here" eight big characters, for the Jiajing period of the prime minister Yan Song handwritten, in our country's feudal society, the dignity of the emperor is supreme, the mausoleum area is regarded as a sacred forbidden area, not only the common people can not go in and out casually, even if the court officials come here to pay homage, they must also dismount here, this stele has a legal effect at that time, the offender will be severely punished, at the same time, it is an important landmark building of the tomb.

Ladies and gentlemen, this single-eaves mountain-style building in front of us is called the New Red Gate, and you will officially enter the mausoleum area through this gate. Xianling project is huge, it takes 40 years before and after, covers an area of 183.13 hectares, the whole Xianling is surrounded by two city walls inside and outside, connecting the new red gate city wall called Wailuo City, the wall is 6.5 meters high, 1.9 meters thick. The circumference is more than 3,600 meters, the red wall and yellow tiles, winding in the ups and downs of the mountains, majestic and magnificent, each brick and a tile have a complete mark of where the pull comes from, it can be seen that the project is huge. Viewed from the air, Wailuo City is in the shape of a "golden bottle", which is believed to be not only able to spare qi and protect the life in Feng Shui, but also a magic weapon worn by the gods. Its meaning is sacred and auspicious. At the same time, the winding city wall undulates along the mountain, avoiding the external stiffness of the building and making it more harmonious with the natural environment. Xianling Wailuo City is the first of the Ming Dynasty imperial tombs! Subsequent tombs of the Ming and Qing dynasties followed this practice.

The royal river that connects this bend by the outer pond is called "Jiuqu River", and it turns nine bends along the Shinto road that enters the mausoleum area, hence the name. Five single-hole bridges were built along the river, and the Jiuqu River and the Wudao Bridge were attached to the meaning of "Ninety-Five Supreme". It symbolizes the supremacy of imperial power. Due to the ingenious design, the curved river divides the ground of the mausoleum into several different areas, which appropriately plays the role of natural elements of mountain, water and trees. "The stone is jade and the mountain is bright, the water is surrounded and the river is charming", due to the construction of the Jiuqu River, the surrounding environment is looking forward to the brilliance. Although the tombs of the Ming Dynasty attached great importance to the drainage and flood discharge of the mausoleum area, and excavated or used natural rivers to form the imperial river, the Jiuqu River of the Xianling Tomb with its perfect drainage system, reflecting the perfection of the feng shui theory, and other Ming tombs have significant differences, becoming an important feature of the magical tombs.

Ladies and gentlemen, what kind of imagination can you imagine with this curved Jiuqu River? That's right, Dragon! It is like a curved and moving water dragon cruising in the mausoleum area of green mountains and green waters, adding a fresh aura to the tomb. Please look at this royal bridge, its whole body is built by precious white marble stones, the white jade railings on both sides of the bridge deck, there are 72 railings, 72 pillars, all the railings are hollowed out to the net bottle Ruyi square, the pillars on both sides of the bridge are fire-shaped columns, and the pillars of the side bridges on both sides are plain square columns, the pillars of the middle bridge are lioness squatting on the column heads, very unique, the railings at both ends are carved with a kind of monster, we call it a mountain beast. The whole imperial bridge is built gorgeously, the carving art is exquisite, looking at it from afar, it is very majestic and magnificent, some people say that it can be compared with the Jinshui Bridge in front of Tiananmen Square. The bridge deck was originally left in the tomb, and the bridge guardrail was destroyed in *, and the guardrail you see now was repaired in 1998.

Okay, now please follow me to visit the most distinctive and unique spectacle in the history of Chinese and foreign mausoleums, that is, one mausoleum and two mounds! What is one tomb and two mounds? It is a cemetery with two burial mounds. So why do other mausoleums not have this phenomenon and only show their tombs? This also starts from the change of identity before and after the tomb owner: in the 14th year of Ming Zhengde, that is, in 1519, the tomb owner Zhu Youyuan died of illness, at that time he was just a Pan Wang, according to the feudal etiquette system, his mausoleum was built according to the regulations of Pan Wang, and the former tomb we see now is the tomb of Zhu Youyuan, the king of Xingxian, after his death.

In 1521, after Zhu Houxuan ascended the throne and became Emperor Jiajing, he posthumously named his father, that is, Zhu Youyuan, as the "Emperor Xian", and once wanted to move his father's mausoleum to Beijing, and was buried with other late Ming emperors, this idea was opposed by the ministers, so it was not moved, and in December of the 17th year of Jiajing (1539), the mother of the Jiajing Emperor, the Empress Dowager Zhang Shenghuang, died of illness in Beijing. In order to find "auspicious soil" for his mother, Emperor Jiajing visited Tianfu (i.e., Zhongxiang City) in the south in February of the following year, and after visiting the tomb of his father, Emperor Xinxian, he thought that this was a rare feng shui treasure, so he decided to send his mother's coffin from the capital to Zhongxiang Xian Mausoleum to be buried with his father. However, upon inspection, it was found that the underground palace where the father's coffin was stored had been flooded, and it was smaller. So Jiajing ordered the Ministry of Works to build a new underground palace behind his father's original tomb for his parents' coffins. In this way, the original single-mound Pan Wang's tomb has been continuously expanded by Emperor Jiajing's reign for several decades, and has become a large-scale double-mound imperial mausoleum.

Please look at the overall environment of the whole mausoleum area: according to the principle of ancient feng shui "negative yin and yang", "back to the mountain and water", in this vast area, all the mountains, water systems, forest plants are used as the constituent elements of the mausoleum to unify the layout and arrangement, with the pine forest mountain at the back of the mausoleum as the ancestral mountain as the constituent elements of the mausoleum to unify the layout and arrangement of the building, the Jiuqu River bends in the meantime, and the Tianzigang in front is the Ping Mountain, which constitutes the perfect feng shui pattern of the former Vermilion Bird, the rear Xuanwu, the left green dragon, and the right white tiger. It has formed a high degree of harmony and unity between the human landscape and the natural landscape. Xianling is worthy of being a natural masterpiece combining ancient architecture and environmental aesthetics!

Ladies and gentlemen, after visiting the tomb, will you be as impressed as the United Nations World Heritage expert Jean Louis? Of course, according to the vastness of the Xianling Tomb, the richness of the cultural history of the pregnant Tibet is not in this short period of time
