到了西安,你会想到什么呢?钟鼓楼、羊肉馍当然还有兵马俑啦!今天我就去了兵马俑博物馆。

兵马俑都是泥巴、陶片做的吗?当然不是!他们身上原本颜色艳丽,不过因为出土时技术不行,不到一分钟就氧化了,实在可惜!但二号坑出现了奇迹:在一只跪射将军俑背后留着淡淡的红色,保存很不易!

自从出土到今天,没有一个兵马俑神色一模一样,可谓古人的脑洞大开!

所有兵马俑的手都呈空心拳式,为什么会这样呢?考古学家推断,兵马俑的手里应该都拿有兵器,而这些兵器是木头做的,因为年代久远,已经全部腐化了,如果兵器还存在,我们还能一览秦王朝的兵器呢!

特别的还有兵马俑三号坑,因为这里的兵马俑手里拿着礼仪制度的兵器,所以考古学家推测这儿应该是指挥部。那儿特别小,只有五百二十平方米,在指挥部的正前方还有指挥用的四马一车,给我们呈现了秦王朝完整的指挥部形象。

秦王朝时,兵马俑能做得这样活灵活现,可想当时的科技、艺术的发达。中国作为千年文明古国,当之无愧!我为我是中华子孙而骄傲!

篇2:美丽中国:实行最严格环境保护制度

全文共 733 字

+ 加入清单

【中央建议】生态环境质量总体改善,主要污染物排放总量大幅减少;以提高环境质量为核心,实行严格的环境保护制度;形成人与自然和谐发展现代化建设新格局,推进美丽中国建设。

【专家解读】建设“美丽中国”,加大环境治理力度是重中之重。规划建议确定到2020年实现生态环境质量总体改善,这与多年来“环境质量恶化趋势得到初步控制”“生态环境质量局部有所改善”等表述有本质差别,表明污染防治阶段和要求的转变。要实现这一目标,必须以提高环境质量为核心,形成政府、企业、公共共治的严格、严密的环境治理体系,才能给子孙留下天蓝、地绿、水净的家园。

【中央建议】改革环境治理基础制度。实行省以下环保机构监测监察执法垂直管理制度。建立全国统一的实时在线环境监控系统。探索建立跨地区环保机构。开展环保督察巡视,严格环保执法。

【专家解读】现行以块为主的地方环保管理体制,使一些地方重发展轻环保、干预环保监测监察执法,使环保责任难以落实。规划建议提出的省以下环保机构监测监察执法垂直管理,主要指省级环保部门直接管理市(地)县的监测监察机构,承担其人员和工作经费,市(地)级环保局实行以省级环保厅(局)为主的双重管理体制。这是对我国环保管理体制的一项重大改革,有利于增强环境执法的统一性、权威性、有效性。

【中央建议】根据资源环境承载力调节城市规模,依托山水地貌优化城市形态和功能,实行绿色规划、设计、施工标准。

【专家解读】这对于提出构建科学合理的城市化格局,为克服“大城市病”提出了治本之策。近年来,我国新兴城市崛起很快,原有城市也大规模扩展,出现了高楼林立、人口密集、环境污染等问题。这次规划建议通过根据资源环境承载力调整城镇化发展战略,增加发展的绿色元素和生态功能,可以引导城市发展走上绿色化道路。

篇7:介绍中国的世界文化遗产兵马俑

全文共 633 字

+ 加入清单

中国世界文化遗产有很多,有万里长城,明清故宫,敦煌莫高窟……其中,我最熟悉的就是秦兵马俑

秦兵马俑是世界八大奇迹之一,位于秦始皇陵的东侧1。5千米处。它里面有许多姿态各异,大小不一,各具风格的陶俑。据说把这些东西建在秦始皇陵的东方,可以在阴间保护秦始皇,使他在阴间也能过着和阳间一样的生活。

秦兵马俑在人们挖掘出来后,有四个坑,因为四号坑有坑无俑,因此参观人少。这三个坑中,一号坑最大,约有陶俑6000个,最小的是三号坑,有陶俑918个。在所有坑中,二号坑的兵种俱全,推测此坑是总主力军阵,此坑中的陶俑排列秩序井然,不像一号坑那般杂乱。

三号坑是统帅地下大军的指挥部,一号坑为“左军”,二号坑为“右军”。这样的军阵布局是秦国军队编组的缩影。

远远望去,在那一道道宽阔的土墙之间,一个个兵俑排列整齐:有的神情严肃,伫立着思考,大有将军风度;有的跃跃欲试,满腔热血,仿佛要在战场上与敌人决一死战;有的面带微笑,仿佛想起自己凯旋,和家人团聚的情景……

在所有陶俑中,给我印象最深的就要数跪兵俑了。只见他右膝跪地,背部挺直,两手在右侧,仿佛在拉弓放箭。他自信满满,好像觉得自己放的每一支箭都能射到敌人。

那些马俑也各具特点。那一匹匹骏马,初看似乎一样,但仔细去瞧,则各有特色。有竖耳细听的,也有张嘴嘶鸣的。

所有的陶俑都几乎和真人真物一样大小,更让我们感受到秦始皇“军队”的真实。

望着这排列整齐的军阵,我仿佛看到了昔日神威的秦始皇,驾着马车,率领着他的大军,浩浩荡荡地行走在天地之间。

中国未来的发展空间有多大?世界探寻这个问题时,掂量着中国所处的国内外环境

韩国湖西大学教授全家霖侃侃而谈:美国的量化宽松政策导致全球经济日趋复杂,而欧洲和日本效仿美国的量化宽松政策,也并未利好世界经济。全球经济不景气,给中国保持经济高增长带来困难。

从国际形势看,全球经济还未完全从上一轮金融危机的阴霾中走出;恐怖主义和极端势力的威胁增多;乌克兰危机等地缘政治因素给世界经济带来不确定因素……

西班牙加里西亚国际关系研究院院长、中国问题专家里奥斯认为:“中国在经济和安全方面面临的战略竞争加剧,需要极为慎重,同时又不能不作为。”

从国内形势来看,经济结构调整、生态治理、能源安全和劳动力配置等都是摆在中国政府眼前的紧迫问题……里奥斯认为:“中国现代化建设的目标能否实现取决于正在进行的改革能否取得成功。”

阿根廷拉普拉塔国立大学国际关系研究所研究员西蒙诺夫表示,中国目前探索的经济和社会发展模式史无前例,需要“非常聪明的全面改革方案”。

尽管面临复杂的国内外环境,但国际舆论对中国抱有信心。

篇12:介绍中国世界文化遗产说明文

全文共 664 字

“不到长城非好汉,到了长城腿打颤。”长城一定又高又大吧,一个暑假,我们一家人到北京八达岭长城游览。

我们漫步在长城上。长城是古代重要的军事防御工程,城墙一边高一低,高的一边是防御敌人的,低的这边朝着自己国家,低的这边不修高,我想一是节约材料,二是不用自己人防自己人吧。

继续往上走,一座烽火台屹立在眼前,并没有因久经风雨而损坏。看见烽火台,我仿佛就看见了古时候的士兵,精神抖擞地立在长城上,要报效国家。烽火台里面是清凉的,就算是挤满了人也一样。可外面骄阳似火、暑气逼人,也不知道是为什么。

越往上走,每一步台阶也越高,有的到了膝盖。道路也还是挺宽,大概能过四五匹马了。汗水也是如瀑布般流着,这下“大自然牌空调”就起到了巨大的作用。在城墙高的一边,有很多方形的洞,把头探出去,一股凉爽的风迎面而来,像空调一样舒适。这样给自己降温,盛过吃冰棍解暑。

吹完风往前走,不一会儿就来到了好汉坡,哈哈,我以后是好汉了,不过我并没有腿打颤嘛。往下鸟瞰,在绵连不断不断的青山上,连接天边的万里长城弯弯曲曲,像一只巨龙,蜿蜒盘旋,环绕在青山之上,前不见头,后不见尾,壮观极了。

看着眼前宏伟的景象,自然而然就想起了修建长城的人们,我开始脑补各种画面。长城不只是城墙,还同大量的城障、亭标等相结合,结构十分复杂。可当时的人们没有火车、吊车等大型工具,他们是如何修建的呢?他们靠着一双双手,一双双肩,把一块块石头垒起来,修建的人们有很多都死在了那里,但他们修建的长城从未倒塌。

长城是中国军事与文化上的奇迹;是一条巨龙;是中国人民血汗与智慧的结晶,让人无法忘怀。

随着科技的不断发展,汽车的不断增多,排放的废气已经造成严重的污染,或许,几年后的子孙后代、几百年后的大家,或许会因为大气污染而死亡。现在,地球上每一年都有百分之二十的人因为饮用了受到污染的水而死亡,如果这样延续下去,地球在几万年后岂不是变得光秃秃、像月球一样了?

据科学家的统计,每一年,每一月都有百分之二十多的树木因为废气污染而枯萎。百分之八十多对我们有益的细菌死亡,大家或许会觉得很夸张,但这是事实。其次还有受到污染的废水、废气等。人类有错吗?

我多么希望大家能珍惜我们身边的每一个事物,每一只动物,每一只有益的细菌,因为,很有可能,在几万年后的今天,他们都没有了。

动物对人类发起了警告;细菌对人类发起了警告;每一条无辜的生命对我们发起了警告。

"zhong qiu jie", which is also known as the mid-autumn festival, is celebrated on the 15th day of the 8th month of the lunar calendar. it is a time for family members and loved ones to congregate and enjoy the full moon - an auspicious symbol of abundance, harmony and luck. adults will usually indulge in fragrant mooncakes of many varieties with a good cup of piping hot chinese tea, while the little ones run around with their brightly-lit lanterns.

农历八月十五日是中国的传统节日——中秋节。在这天,每个家庭都团聚在一起,一家人共同观赏象征丰裕、和谐和幸运的圆月。此时,大人们吃着美味的月饼,品着热腾腾的香茗,而孩子们则在一旁拉着兔子灯尽情玩耍。

"zhong qiu jie" probably began as a harvest festival. the festival was later given a mythological flavour with legends of chang-e, the beautiful lady in the moon.

中秋节最早可能是一个庆祝丰收的节日。后来,月宫里美丽的仙女嫦娥的神话故事赋予了它神话色彩。

according to chinese mythology, the earth once had 10 suns circling over it. one day, all 10 suns appeared together, scorching the earth with their heat. the earth was saved when a strong archer, hou yi, succeeded in shooting down 9 of the suns. yi stole the elixir of life to save the people from his tyrannical rule, but his wife, chang-e drank it. thus started the legend of the lady in the moon to whom young chinese girls would pray at the mid-autumn festival.

传说古时候,天空曾有10个太阳。一天,这10个太阳同时出现,酷热难挡。弓箭手后翌射下了其中9个太阳,拯救了地球上的生灵。他偷了长生不死药,却被妻子嫦娥偷偷喝下。此后,每年中秋月圆之时,少女们都要向月宫仙女嫦娥祈福的传说便流传开来。

in the 14th century, the eating of mooncakes at "zhong qiu jie" was given a new significance. the story goes that when zhu yuan zhang was plotting to overthrow the yuan dynasty started by the mongolians, the rebels hid their messages in the mid-autumn mooncakes. zhong qiu jie is hence also a commemoration of the overthrow of the mongolians by the han people.

在14世纪,中秋节吃月饼又被赋予了一层特殊的含义。传说在朱元璋带兵起义推翻元朝时,将士们曾把联络信藏在月饼里。因此,中秋节后来也成为汉人推翻蒙古人统治的纪念日。

during the yuan dynasty (a.d.1206-1368) china was ruled by the mongolian people. leaders from the preceding sung dynasty (a.d.960-1279) were unhappy at submitting to foreign rule, and set how to coordinate the rebellion without it being

discovered. the leaders of the rebellion, knowing that the moon festival was drawing near, ordered the making of special cakes. packed into each mooncake was a message with the outline of the attack. on the night of the moon festival, the rebels successfully attacked and overthrew the government. what followed was the establishment of the ming dynasty (a.d. 1368-1644). today, moon cakes are eaten to commemorate this event.

在元朝,蒙古人统治中国。前朝统治者们不甘心政权落入外族之手,于是密谋策划联合起义。正值中秋将近,起义首领就命令部下制作一种特别的月饼,把起义计划藏在每个月饼里。到中秋那天,起义军获取胜利,推翻了元朝,建立明朝。今天,人们吃月饼纪念此事。

暑假里的一天,我和妈妈跟随亲子夏令营来到了古代帝王的宫殿——故宫,饱览了故宫之丽。

游览故宫之前,我们就阅读了朋朋哥哥写给孩子们的《宫?城》。书中阐述了许多历史和故事,其中印象深的有一段是花了大幅篇章描述了故宫的排水系统。最近北京下过大雨,也有新闻报道说百年故宫竟不积水,这让我感到十分疑惑。于是,我带着好多疑问来到了故宫。

我们在文化导师小松哥哥的带领下进入了故宫。一进午门,展现在眼前的是一座座气势宏伟的宫殿。蓝的天白的云,下面是黄色的屋顶,红色的柱子,中间加上过渡色蓝绿彩绘,冷暖色调相互辉映,这么美的画面真的震憾心灵。

故宫不仅具有观赏性,还具备实用性。紫禁城的护城河——金水河,它不仅有防敌、消防的作用,还能泄洪。我最想看的是各宫殿须弥座上的昂头向外的“螭首”。在太和殿的广场上,我近距离观察了,螭首嘴中有一个小洞,可以喷出多余的积水。流到太和殿广场上的雨水,再根据地势变化,流向台基下的券洞,最终经券洞通过明沟暗渠,排到护城河里,这样一来故宫再也不怕大水了。但是为什么这些螭首上的小洞就这么大小,大点不是排水更快吗?我想再回过头去看看《宫?城》,能不能找到答案。

除了这些,在互动游戏中我回答了角楼的作用。我还看到了龙凤呈祥的交泰殿,最具东北特色的坤宁宫,具有十只脊兽的太和殿,在御花园留了影……还有许多各具特色的宫殿,我们没来得及细看,也给我这次故宫之行留下了小小的遗憾。

每个人眼里的故宫都不一样,同一个人不同时间看到的故宫又不一样。有机会我会再游故宫,到那时又会是怎样的感觉呢。

Ladies and Gentlemen:

I am pleased to serve as your guide today。

This is the palace museum; also know as the Purple Forbidden City。 It is the largest and most well reserved imperial residence in China today。 Under Ming Emperor Yongle, construction began in 1406。 It took 14years to build the Forbidden City。 The first ruler who actually lived here was Ming Emperor Zhudi。 For five centuries thereafter, it continued to be the residence of23 successive emperors until 1911 when Qing Emperor Puyi was forced to abdicate the throne。 In 1987, the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization recognized the Forbidden City was a world cultural legacy。

It is believed that the Palace Museum, or Zi Jin Cheng (Purple Forbidden City), got its name from astronomy folklore, The ancient astronomers divided the constellations into groups and centered them around the Ziwei Yuan (North Star) 。 The constellation containing the North Star was called the Constellation of Heavenly God and star itself was called the purple palace。 Because the emperor was supposedly the son of the heavenly gods, his central and dominant position would be further highlighted the use of the word purple in the name of his residence。 In folklore, the term “an eastern purple cloud is drifting” became a metaphor for auspicious events after a purple cloud was seen drifting eastward immediately before the arrival of an ancient philosopher, LaoZi, to the Hanghu Pass。 Here, purple is associated with auspicious developments。 The word jin (forbidden) is self-explanatory as the imperial palace was heavily guarded and off-explanatory as the imperial palace was heavily guarded and off-limits to ordinary people。

The red and yellow used on the palace walls and roofs are also symbolic。 Red represents happiness, good fortune and wealth。 Yellow is the color of the earth on the Loess Plateau, the original home of the Chinese people。 Yellow became an imperial color during the Tang dynasty, when only members of the royal family were allowed to wear it and use it in their architecture。

The Forbidden City is rectangular in shape。 It is 960 meters long from north to south and 750 meter wide from east west。 It has 9,900 rooms under a total roof area 150,000 square meters。 A 52-meter-wide-moat encircles a 9。 9-meter—high wall which encloses the complex。 Octagon —shaped turrets rest on the four corners of the wall。 There are four entrances into the city: the Meridian Gate to the south, the Shenwu Gate (Gate of Military Prowess) to the north, and the Xihua Gate (Gate of military Prowess) to the north, and the Xihua Gate (Western Flowery Gate ) to the west, the Donghua (Eastern Flowery Gate) to the east。

Manpower and materials throughout the country were used to build the Forbidden City。 A total of 230,000 artisans and one million laborers were employed。 Marble was quarried from fangshan Country Mount Pan in Jixian County in Hebei Province。 Granite was quarried in Quyang County in Hebei Province。 Paving blocks were fired in kilns in Suzhou in southern China。 Bricks and scarlet pigmentation used on the palatial walls came from linqing in Shandong Province。 Timber was cut, processed and hauled from the northwestern and southern regions。
