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.

The structure in front of us is the Meridian Gate. It is the main entrance to the forbidden City. It is also knows as Wufenglou(Five-Phoenix Tower). Ming emperors held lavish banquets here on the 15th day of the first month of the Chinese lunar year in hornor of their counties .They also used this place for punishing officals by flogging them with sticks.

Qing emperors used this building to announce the beginning of the new year. Qing Emperor Qianglong changed the original name of this announcement ceremony from ban li(announcement of calendar)to ban shou(announcement of new moon )to avoid coincidental association with another Emperor` s name, Hongli, which was considered a taboo at that time. Qing Dynasty emperors also used this place to hold audience and for other important ceremonies. For example,when the imperial army returned victoriously from the battlefield ,it was here that the Emperor presided over the ceremony to accept prisoners of war.

(After entering the Meridian Gate and standing in front of the Five Marble Bridges on Golden Water River)

Now we are inside the Forbidden City.Before we start our tour, I would like to briefly introduce you to the architectural patterns befour us .To complete this solemn, magnificent and palatial complex, a variety of buildings were arranged on a north-south axis, and 8-kilometer-long invisible line that has become an inseparable part of the City of Beijing. The Forbidden City covers roughly one –third of this central axis. Most of the important building in the Forbidden City weree arranged along this line. The design and arrangement of the palaces reflect the solemn dignity of the royal court and rigidly –stratified feudal system.

The Forbidden City is divided into an outer and an inner count.We are now standing on the southernmost part of the outer count. In front of us lies the Gate of supreme Harmony .The gate is guarded by a pair of bronze lions ,symbolizing imperial power and dignity. The lions were the most exquisite and biggest of its kind. The one on the east playing with a ball is a male, and ball is said to represent state unity. The other one is a female. Underneath one of its fore claws is a cub that is considered to be a symbol of perpetual imperial succession. The winding brook before us is the Golden Water River. It functions both as decoration and fire control .The five bridges spanning the river represent the five virtues preached by Confucius :benevolence, righteousness, rites, intellence and fidelity. The river takes the shape of a bow and the north-south axis is its arrow. This was meant to show that the Emperors ruled the country on behalf of God.

北京的故宫是个美丽的大皇宫。故宫也叫作“紫禁城”。这里居住过24个明清两代的皇帝呢！故宫的整个建筑金碧辉煌，庄严华丽，被誉为世界五大宫之一。

当我进去后，首先展现在我眼前的是坤宁宫。坤宁宫是皇妃住的地方，这里风景优美，绿草如茵，繁花似锦。故宫的宫殿建筑是中国现存最大、最完整的古老建筑，总面积达到72万多平方米，殿宇宫室有9000万多间，极为壮观。

穿过书斋就到了乾清宫，这是皇上上早朝的地方，乾清宫的正前方摆着一张镀金龙椅。龙椅上刻着许多龙，有的双龙戏珠，有的互相缠绕，真是惟妙惟肖。我抬头往上一看，墙上有一块大大的匾，匾上写着“正大光明”四个大字，仿佛这四个大字是告诫大臣们：“凡是做事，都要正大光明地做。”我站在这中间，也仿佛看到当时的皇上和大臣们商议朝政时的气势。

走出正门，我再一次遥望这座古老的宫殿，气魄宏伟令人赞叹不已！故宫真美啊！

Hi，大家好!我是小导游周予同。中国有许多世界遗产。故宫也是其中的一处景观。下面就由我来为大家介绍一下世界文化遗产——故宫。 故宫位于北京市区中心。就称紫禁城，是明、清朝两代的皇宫。

我国现存规模最大、最完整的古建筑群。始建于明永乐四年至十八年(1406--1420年)，后经多次重修于改建，仍保持原有布局。占地72万多平方米，建筑面积约15万平方米，屋宇9000余间，周围宫墙高10余米，长约3公里，四脚独立 风格绮丽的角楼。墙外有宽52米的护城河环绕。整个建筑群气势宏伟豪华，布局开阔对称，内外装饰壮丽辉煌，是我国古代建筑艺术的精华。1987年被列入《世界文化遗产名录》。 怎么样，听了我的介绍，你肯定对故宫有了进一步的了解了吧。希望你能喜欢这里。谢谢大家!

沈阳故宫始建于后金天命十年(1625年)是清太祖迁都之际草创，清崇德元年(1636年)由皇太极建成。1644年，大清迁都北京，“沈阳故宫”从此成为“陪都宫殿”。“沈阳故宫”是清太祖努尔哈赤和清太宗皇太极修建并使用过的宫殿，距今巳有360余年的历史。在全国现存宫殿建筑群中，它的历史价值和艺术价值仅次于北京故宫居全国第二位。它是中国历史上最后的一个封建王朝的发祥重地，也是清统一中国后东北地区政治经济中心。

沈阳故宫占地6万多平方米，有楼台殿阁各式建筑70余座，由20多个院落组成，总计房屋300多间。故宫按自然布局分为中路、东路和西路三部分。

中路：是太宗皇太极时期的大内宫阙。南端是大清门，也是故宫的正门。向北依次是崇政殿、凤凰褛、清宁宫，它们都排列在一条中轴线上，两侧还有一些对称式的附属建筑。

大清门是日常朝会时文武大臣侯朝的地方，也是清太宗接受群臣谢恩之处。明朝著名将领洪承畴降清后，就从此门进入，受到皇太极的接见。大清门东侧这处建筑叫祖庙，祖庙是爱新觉罗家族祭祀祖先的地方，因是天子的祖庙也称“太庙”。

顺着大清门北面的御路拾阶而上，台正中便是气势宏伟被称作“金銮殿”的政殿。它建于后金天聪六年(1632年)，崇德元年定名为崇政殿。崇政殿为五间九檩硬山式建筑，南北辟有隔扇门，前后是石雕栏杆。殿顶盖为黄琉璃，十分壮观。殿内掾间绘满飞云流水，梁架上全部是“和玺” 彩绘，给人以高洁典雅之感。殿内明堂有堂陛，前是金龙蟠柱，柱后有贴金雕龙扇面大屏风和金龙宝座，宝座两侧有鼎式香炉、轩辕镜和太平有象等装饰之物。殿前有大月台，月台东南角有日晷，西南有嘉量亭，都由大理石雕造而成。在月台上还设有四口大缸，都盛满清水以防水灾。古代称它是“门海”，来象征缸中水多似海可扑灭火灾，所以又被称作是“吉祥缸”。因为北方天气寒冷，所以每到冬天，就要在缸底点燃炭火。崇政殿是清太宗日常朝会议政的地方，1636年皇太极的称帝大典及清天聪十年四月“后金”改国号为“大清”的典礼就在这里举行。1644年清迁都北京后，历代皇帝东巡时，都在这里临朝听政。

崇政殿前，东西各有五间厢楼，东为飞龙阁，西为翔凤阁。殿后是一个院落，院正北有一座高约4米的高台，台上是皇太极极其后妃的寝区。沿台阶走上去便是一座金碧辉煌的高楼----凤凰楼。它的原名叫翔凤楼，直到1743年才有凤凰楼之称。凤凰楼是清宁宫的门户，也是皇帝策划军政大事和宴筵之所。它与崇政殿同期建成，康熙二十年重修。楼为三层，是三滴水式建筑。每层深广各三间，周围有回廊，下层的门洞是联络台上台下的道。风凰楼既是后宫的大门，又是整个宫殿建筑的制高点。在楼上观看日出，极为美妙。所以“凤楼晓日”、“凤楼观塔”是沈城著名的景观。凤凰楼正门上额的“紫气东来”金字横匾是乾隆皇帝的御笔。

过了凤凰楼就是太宗皇帝皇太极的后宫了。正中是清宁宫，清宁宫原叫“正宫”，是五间十一檩硬山式建筑。东一间是皇太极和孝端文皇后博尔济吉特氏的寝宫，称暖阁。正中隔一间璧，把寝宫分为南北两室，南北室各有火炕，又称“龙床”。1643年皇太极就在南室“端座无疾而终”，终年52岁，后葬于昭陵。西四间为皇帝祭神、行礼的神堂。清宁宫庭院的东南角有一根朱红色木杆，木杆顶端有锡斗，这木杆叫索伦杆，满族人称它为神杆。锡斗内放米谷碎肉来喂乌鸦。

清宁宫两侧是东西配宫，东配宫有关雎宫、衍庆宫;西配宫有麟趾宫和永福宫。东西配宫均为皇太极和妃子们居住之所。清宁宫西北角有一根由地面垒起，低于屋背的烟囱，人们从正面是看不见的。从清宁宫这一系列建筑中，我们可以发现沈阳故宫的两大建筑特点：一是保存了浓厚的满族特色即口袋房、万字炕、烟囱竖在地面上。二是宫高殿低，清宁宫及其四所配宫均高于皇帝议政的崇政殿和东路的大政殿。这是因为清朝夺取政权前，满族是一个牧猎民族，受生活习惯的影响，把居住的地方建在高处，以防野兽和洪水的侵袭。这与北京故宫恰好相反。

清宁宫高台之后是“后苑”，也叫“御花园”，内有碾磨房、二十八间仓、后宰门等建筑，是皇帝膳食的供给区。并有地下窨道与清宁宫相通。

在崇政殿、清宁宫高台两侧有“东所”、“西所”。东所由南往北依次是颐和殿、介祉宫、敬典阁等。东所是东巡时皇帝后妃给太后请安之处，也皇太后的寝宫和存放实录、玉牒之处;西所由南往北依次是迪光殿、保极殿、继恩斋和崇谟阁等。西所是东巡时皇帝、后妃及子女居住的地方和存放《圣训》、《满文老档》的地方。崇谟阁的建筑形式是别具一格的，它为卷棚式建筑，是在清乾隆年间增建的。

东路是以大政殿为主体，两侧辅以方亭十座，称“十王亭”。大政殿建于努尔哈赤时期，是故宫最早期八角重檐大木架亭子式建筑。大政殿下是高约1.5米的须弥座式台基，周围绕以雕刻精细的荷叶净瓶青石雕。殿身八面均有“斧头眼”式隔扇门，内外排柱40根，正门前有双龙蟠柱。殿顶是十六道五彩琉璃脊，正中是宝瓶火焰珠。殿内有精致的斗拱、藻井天花，梁架上用“和玺”彩绘，上有黄琉璃瓦绿剪边的顶盖。整个建筑显示出极强的美感和庄严秀丽的装饰艺术情趣。大政殿是皇帝举行大型庆典的地方，1643年清世祖福临在此即位。

What strikes one first in a birds -eye view of Beijing proper is a vast tract of golden roofs flashing brilliantly in the sun with purple walls occasionally emerging amid them and a stretch of luxuriant tree leaves flanking on each side. That is the former Imperial Palace, popularly known as the Forbidden City, from which twenty-four emperors of the Ming and Qing Dynasties ruled China for some 500 years——from1420 to 1911. The Ming Emperor Yong Le, who usurped the throne from his nephew and made Beijing the capital, ordered its construction, on which approximately 10,000 artists and a million workmen toiled for 14 years from 1406 to 1420. At present, the Palace is an elaborate museum that presents the largest and most complete ensemble of traditional architecture complex and more than 900,000 pieces of court treasures in all dynasties in China.

Located in the center of Beijing, the entire palace area, rectangular in shape and 72 hectares in size, is surrounded by walls ten meters high and a moat 52 meters wide. At each corner of the wall stands a watchtower with a double-eave roof covered with yellow glazed tiles.

The main buildings, the six great halls, one following the other, are set facing south along the central north-south axis from the Meridian Gate, the south entrance, to Shenwumen, the great gate piercing in the north wall. On either side of the palace are many comparatively small buildings. Symmetrically in the northeastern section lie the six Eastern Palaces and in the northwestern section the six Western Palaces. The Palace area is divided into two parts: the Outer Court and the Inner Palace. The former consists of the first three main halls, where the emperor received his courtiers and conducted grand ceremonies, while the latter was the living quarters for the imperial residence. At the rear of the Inner Palace is the Imperial Garden where the emperor and his family sought recreation.

The main entrance to the Palace is the Meridian Gate(1), which was so named because the emperor considered himself the "Son of the Heaven" and the Palace the center of the universe, hence the north-south axis as the Meridian line going right through the Palace. The gate is crowned with five towers, commonly known as the Five-Phoenix Towers(2), which were installed with drums and bells. When the emperor went to the Temple of Heaven, bells were struck to mark this important occasion. When he went to the Ancestral Temple, it was the drums that were beaten to publicize the event.

Beyond the Meridian Gate unfolds a vast courtyard across which the Inner Golden Water River runs from east to west. The river is spanned by five bridges, which were supposed to be symbols of the five virtues preached by Confucius——benevolence, righteousness, rites, intelligence, and fidelity(3).

At the north end of the courtyard is a three-tiered white marble terrace, seven meters above the ground, on which, one after another, stand three majestic halls; the Hall of Supreme Harmony(4), the Hall of Complete Harmony(5), and the Hall of Preserving Harmony(6).

The Hall of Supreme Harmony, rectangular in shape, 27 meters in height, 2,300 square meters in area, is the grandest and most important hall in the Palace complex. It is also Chinas largest existing palace of wood structure and an outstanding example of brilliant color combinations. This hall used to be the throne hall for ceremonies which marked great occasions: the Winter Solstice, the Spring Festival, the emperors birthday and enthronement, and the dispatch of generals to battles, etc. On such occasions there would be an imperial guard of honor standing in front of the Hall that extended all the way to the Meridian gate.

On the north face of the hall in the center of four coiled-golden dragon columns is the "Golden Throne", which was carved out of sandalwood. The throne rests on a two-meter-high platform with a screen behind it. In front of it, to the left and right, stand ornamental cranes, incense burners and other ornaments. The dragon columns entwined with golden dragons measure one meter in diameter. The throne itself, the platform and the screen are all carved with dragon designs. High above the throne is a color-painted coffered ceiling which changes in shape from square to octagonal to circular as it ascends layer upon layer. The utmost central vault is carved with the gilded design of a dragon toying with pearls. when the Emperor mounted the throne, gold bells and jade chimes sounded from the gallery, and clouds of incense rose from the bronze cranes and tortoises and tripods outside the hall on the terrace. The aura of majesty created by the imposing architecture and solemn ritual were designed to keep the subjects of the "Son of the Heaven" in awe and reverence.

The Hall of Complete Harmony is smaller and square with windows on all sides. Here the emperor rehearsed for ceremonies. It is followed by the Hall of Preserving Harmony in which banquets and imperial examinations were held.

Behind the Hall of Preserving Harmony lies a huge marble ramp with intertwining clouds and dragons carved in relief. The slab, about 6.5 meters long, 3 meters wide and 250 tons in weight, is placed between two flights of marble steps along which the emperors sedan was carried up or down the terrace. It is the largest piece of stone carving in the Imperial Palace. Quarried in the mountains scores of kilometers southwest of Beijing, this gigantic stone was moved to the city by sliding it over a specially paved ice road in winter. To provide enough water to build the ice road, wells were sunk at very 500 meters along the way.

The three halls of the Inner Palace are replicas of the three halls in the front, but smaller in size. They are the Palace of Heavenly Purity(7), the Hall of Union(8), and the Palace of Earthly Tranquility(9).

The Palace of Heavenly Purity was once the residence of the Ming emperors and the first two of the Qing emperors. Then the Qing Emperor Yong Zheng moved his residence to the Palace of Mental Cultivation and turned it into an audience hall to receive foreign envoys and handled the state affairs. The promotion and demotion of officials were also decided in this hall. After the emperors death his coffin was placed here for a 49-day period of mourning.

The Palace of Union was the empresss throne room and the Hall of Earthly Tranquility, once a private living room for the empress, was partitioned. The west chamber served religious purposes and the east one was the bridal chamber where the newly married emperor and empress spent their first two nights after their wedding.

The Imperial Garden was laid out during the early Ming dynasty. Hundreds of pines and cypresses offer shade while various flowers give colors to the garden all year round and fill the air with their fragrance. In he center of the garden is the Hall of Imperial Peace, a Daoist temple, with a flat roof slightly sloping down to the four eaves. This type of roof was rare in ancient Chinese architecture. In he northeastern corner of the garden is a rock hill, known as the Hill of the Piled-up Wonders, which is topped with a pavilion. At the foot of the hill are two fountains which jet two columns of water high into the air. It is said that on the ninth night of the ninth month of the lunar calendar, the empress would mound the hill to enjoy the autumn scene. It is also believed that climbing to a high place on that day would keep people safe from contagious diseases.

The six Western Palaces were residences for empresses and concubines. They are kept in their original way for show. The six Eastern Palaces were the residences for them too. But now they serve as special museums: the Museum of Bronze, the Museum of Porcelain and the Museum of Arts and Crafts of the Ming and Qing dynasties. In the northeastern-most section of the Inner Palace are the Museum of Traditional Chinese Paintings and the Museum of Jewelry and Treasures where rare pieces of imperial collections are on display.

Now the Forbidden City is no longer forbidding, but inviting. A visit to the Palace Museum will enrich the visitors knowledge of history, economy, politics, arts as well as architecture in ancient China.

瞧瞧，那是谁呢?健硕的身材，圆圆的脸蛋，一字形的眉毛下嵌着一双水汪汪的大眼睛再加上一个塌塌的鼻子，笑起来双下巴微微抖动。瞧，这就是我，陈梓澄，一名四年级的小学生。

我是一只“小书虫”。只要瞄到一本好书，就会津津有味地看，不看完不罢休。妈妈总是打趣地说：“你可以不用吃饭，只要吃书就能饱。”所以我就有了“小书虫”的绰号。有一次，已经是深夜了，我依然在看书。妈妈命令我睡觉，我只好放下书本。可躺下后又难以入睡，心里老惦念着刚看的故事。于是，我小心地打开台灯，把余下的内容看完才安心入眠。可是第二天上课时我总打哈欠，昏昏欲睡，妈妈知道后狠狠地训了我一顿!

我还是一个十足的“小吃货”。只要看到巧克力等零食，我就会毫不犹豫地扑上去，狼吞虎咽，直到肚子圆得像个皮球。记得上个星期天，妈妈刚从市场买了一大袋零食，我顺手就拆了一包薯片，边看电视，一片接着一片往嘴里塞。不一会儿，薯片见底了，我随后又拆了一包瓜子，一包饼干，一条巧克力，一瓶可乐……妈妈做完晚餐从厨房出来，发现狼藉的桌面满满是零食的包装袋。晚餐时候，我还喝了一大碗鸡汤……妈妈生怕我撑坏了，训了我一顿，语重心长地对我说：“梓澄，零食全部是给你吃的，但是我们不能一次性吃太多，饭要一口一口吃，零食也要有节制。”我摸了摸圆鼓鼓的肚子，点了点头，对妈妈说：“我知道错了，以后我再也不大吃大喝了。”

这就是我，一个既爱看书，又爱吃零食，懂得知错就改的小男生。

北京故宫，古人称为紫荆城。位于北京中轴线的中心，是世界上现存规模最大、保存最为完整的木质结构的宫殿型建筑。

走进故宫，就来到有名的午门。午门高大而又雄伟，是故宫的大门。午门有五个门洞，可是从正面看，似乎是三个，实际上正面还有左右两个掖门。

接着，我们来到了太和宫。在通往太和宫的石桥两旁，各有一个石雕狮子。这一对石雕狮子炯炯有神，严肃，庄重。好像在瞪着大眼睛看着我，样子十分吓人。但也表现出故宫严肃的气氛。

走着走着，我们向坤宁宫走去。坤宁宫华丽而又精致。所以呢，明代时这是皇后的寝宫，也是祭祀的主要场所和皇帝大婚时的洞房。坤宁宫里面的饰品几乎一应俱全，每一个都有它的精美之处，把坤宁宫点缀得非同华丽!

是啊!北京的故宫就是如此的美丽!希望你有机会去细细地游赏，里面还有很多华丽、雄伟的宫殿及景观。

今天就由我来带领你们畅游故宫，进入这座传奇建筑。

进入午门，走过金水桥，穿过太和门，一座宫殿亮在眼前。你们知道现在我们看到的是什么宫殿吗?对了，就是太和殿。金黄的砖瓦在阳光底下闪闪发光，让人不能直视，那朱红的宫墙也很引人注目，红艳艳的，十分好看。但这还不是最绝的。如果你靠近窗边，还会发现里面有许多桌椅。现在，就让我们走过去吧!

到了窗边，透过微弱的亮光往里看，里面呈现出虽阴暗，但又能想象出当年繁荣的景象。桌子、椅子、床等各种木制品一俱齐全。来，让我们仔细瞅瞅这些家具，颇有清代风格。雕刻师们精心雕刻出了这些花纹。有的像一条龙，有的像两卷大浪，还有的像一只凤凰……另外，有一个地方你肯定没有想到，在故宫里，唯有太和殿有“地暖”，这个“地暖”就在太和殿的地下一层，它是用柴火所烧，在寒冷的冬天，不让皇帝和皇后饱受严寒。

现在，让我们再走下楼梯，再次观看整个太和殿。你会发现支撑整个太和殿的大木柱有好多根，你知道有多少根吗?让我来告诉你吧，共有72根，其中有6根还是沥粉金漆的蟠龙柱呢!你知道吗?柱子的多少决定了宫殿的等级，而太和殿的柱子数量是最多的，也就是说，太和殿在故宫里的等级是最高的。

我们继续往前走，穿过几个宫殿，就来到了御花园。比起那些宫殿，就有着强烈对比。请游客们在这里，不要乱扔垃圾，破坏了这一片葱绿哦!大家先向右看，看到了那棵树吗?长得是不是很奇怪呀?确实，它的树干从两个地方长出来，最后在准备长叶的地方又合并在一起，显然是经历了许多年的风雨，然后在某一年，树干再也不能承受风雨的力量了，慢慢破损了，最后形成了一个大洞。

在离出口仅有几米远的地方，有一座大假山。这座大假山有足足6米多高，宽也有7——8米长，很是漂亮。

寒假里，我们一家三口开车前往北京。到北京后，我看到它们的公交车都跟我们日照不同，上边有两根电线，公交车上边的连两根“棍”必须得跟着那两根电线走。妈妈说：“这叫无轨电车”。

天安门----还没有看完路上的景色，就到了天安门。爸爸叫我站在毛主席头像跟前照张相。 “咔嚓”一张有意义的照片就照出来了。

故宫----进了故宫首先让我映入眼帘的就是大门了，我仔细数了一数，横数九颗钉，竖数九颗钉，共八十一颗大钉。我迫不及待的想问爸爸，就说：为什么是九九八十一，而不是八八六十四呢?爸爸说：“因为古代把九作为吉祥的数，象征着极限，所以就为八十一个钉啦!(八十一是由九个九来组成的)”。我们又往里边走，到了一个门窗前，我看了看，那里边有好多好多皇帝用过的东西，都很珍贵。比如说碗呀筷子之类的。她们用过的碗是用玉或铜来做的，有大有小，花边都布置的特别好。再往里走，就是皇帝和皇后成亲的地方了，艳红艳红的，可漂亮了。我们又参观了慈禧睡觉的屋、皇帝的宝座……

我们在故宫里整整游了三个小时，但我感觉一点也不累，因为我被故宫雄伟的建筑所吸引了!很难想像古代工匠妙手天工的技术是多么精湛啊!

20015年9月份，我和我的妈妈、姑姑、姑父一起去游了沈阳故宫。

远远望去高大的宫门金碧辉煌、巍峨壮观。进了大门，里面的景色非常美丽，各种花儿都有，白的、红的、黄的、淡紫的……漂亮极了。广场中间还有大炮，那炮管很粗很粗。 一会儿，就到了皇上的宫殿，远远的就看见了龙椅，我想那龙椅大概是用纯金做的吧?因为我看到龙椅闪着金光。龙椅的旁边有两个大花瓶，花瓶上雕刻着美丽的花纹。大概是锦泰蓝的吧?那工艺非常精美。大殿里到处是金碧辉煌，富丽堂皇。看着大殿里的一切，我仿佛看到了那威严的皇帝坐在龙椅上，底下的臣子在那里三呼万岁。

宫殿外面的两个大柱子上也雕刻着两条飞舞的龙，那龙在云雾里翻滚，金色的龙鳞在阳光下熠熠生辉。

我们再去了后宫，那里是皇后的寝宫，那里也是非常富丽，各种摆设还是照原来的样子摆放。有桌子、椅子还有床，那床据说是用名贵的楠木作做成的，床板的四周都雕刻了美丽的花纹。

我们还游了御花园、皇上妃子们的寝宫。这里的故宫跟北京的故宫差不多壮丽。

一张苹果似的圆脸，月牙性的眉毛下有一双乌黑发亮的眼睛，扁扁的鼻子下有一张樱桃般的小嘴，一笑起来有两个小酒窝。想知道此人是谁吗?哈哈!这就是我。

我的爱好

我的爱好

粗心赛过熊二

我从小就喜欢看动画片《熊出没》。片里的熊二很粗心，这点很像我。我在考试时总是把一些不该丢分的基础题做错，作业总是总是做错页数，这都是因为我粗心。记得有一次，爸爸让我拿一双灰色的袜子，可因为我粗心大意，把袜子听到了裤子，就拿错了。过了一会儿，爸爸又让我拿一件衣服，可我又听成了媳妇，于是我叫了妈妈来。结果被老爸老妈同时ko。

热情好客是本色

每当我有什么好吃的，我都会分享给我的好朋友。有一回，妈妈给我零花钱买奶茶喝，可这些钱只够买一杯奶茶，但是我和一位朋友在一起玩，于是我灵机一动，要了两根吸管。我们一人一根吸管，同喝一杯奶茶。周末放假时，我会邀请许多小朋友到我家来玩。我们一起看电影、吃零食，玩得可开心了!

这就是我，一个可爱的我，一个粗心的我，一个好客的我。小朋友们，你们喜欢这样的我吗?

有这么一个可爱的小男孩：个子高高瘦瘦，皮肤白白净净，小板寸的发型，一双笑起来月牙儿似的眼睛，小巧玲珑鼻子和一张能说会道的嘴巴。猜猜他是谁?哦，他就是我!

我的家人总说我是一只叽叽喳喳的小麻雀。小嘴巴从早说到晚。吃早饭时，我喜欢边吃边和爸爸妈妈分享梦境或者是和爸爸讨论学习强国播放的新闻。老妈经常在一边不停提醒我：“快点吃，少说话，要迟到啦!”学校里，我也最喜欢向老师提问题，甚至上课的时候也经常忍不住和同桌说话，导致被老师点名批评。放学后做作业，我也总是边写边说，爷爷经常批评我一心两用，影响做作业效率。晚饭后，只要有时间，我最喜欢依偎在老爸身旁，问他各种各样的问题，从第二次世界大战到百慕大三角到伊拉克局势，还有特朗普的最新言论……问得老爸经常故意做出求饶状：“我头都大了，饶了我吧!”可能白天话说太多了，以至于我晚上睡觉都喜欢说梦话，老妈说她好几次听到我在说英语或者背唐诗呢!

我还是一个不折不扣的小书虫。乐高、画画和阅读是我的三大爱好，其中我对阅读更是情有独钟，经常手不释卷，我不看完绝对舍不得放下。有一次，妈妈给我买回了梦寐以求的《丁丁历险记》，递给我的时候叮嘱必须要做完作业才能开始看。可是我实在是难以抵挡它们的诱惑，等妈妈转身去厨房准备晚饭，我立刻放下手中的笔如饥似渴地看了起来。看完一本又一本，直到妈妈进书房喊我吃晚饭，我才意识到自己之前都干了些什么。结果当然是被妈妈狠狠地批评了一顿，连书都暂时被没收了!

我还有很多趣事，虽然我有一些小缺点，但我是一个快乐自信的男孩，你们愿意和我做朋友听我的小故事吗?

[介绍故宫的英文作文

Situated in the western outskirts of Haidian District, the Summer Palace is 15 kilometers (9.3 miles) from central Beijing. Having the largest royal park and being well preserved, it was designated, in 1960 by the State Council, as a Key Cultural Relics Protection Site of China. Containing examples of the ancient arts, it also has graceful landscapes and magnificent constructions. The Summer Palace is the archetypal Chinese garden, and is ranked amongst the most noted and classical gardens of the world. In 1998, it was listed as one of the World Heritage Sites by UNESCO.

Constructed in the Jin Dynasty (1115-1234), during the succeeding reign of feudal emperors; it was extended continuously. By the time of the Qing Dynasty (1644-1911), it had become a luxurious royal garden providing royal families with rest and entertainment. Originally called Qingyi Garden (Garden of Clear Ripples), it was know as one of the famous three hills and five gardens (Longevity Hill, Jade Spring Mountain, and Fragrant Hill; Garden of Clear Ripples, Garden of Everlasting Spring, Garden of Perfection and Brightness, Garden of Tranquility and Brightness, and Garden of Tranquility and Pleasure). Like most of the gardens of Beijing, it could not elude the rampages of the Anglo-French allied force and was destroyed by fire. In 1888, Empress Dowager Cixi embezzled navy funds to reconstruct it for her own benefit, changing its name to Summer Palace (Yiheyuan). She spent most of her later years there, dealing with state affairs and entertaining. In 1900, it suffered again, being ransacked by the Eight-Power Allied Force. After the success of the 1911 Revolution, it was opened to the public.

Composed mainly of Longevity Hill and Kunming Lake, The Summer Palace occupies an area of 294 hectares (726.5 acres), three quarters of which is water. Guided by nature, artists designed the gardens exquisitely so that visitors would see marvelous views and be amazed by perfect examples of refined craftwork using the finest materials.

Centered on the Tower of Buddhist Incense (Foxiangge) the Summer Palace consists of over 3,000 structures including pavilions, towers, bridges, and corridors. The Summer Palace can be divided into four parts: the court area, front-hill area, front-lake area, and rear-hill and back-lake area.

Front-Hill Area: this area is the most magnificent area in the Summer Palace with the most constructions. Its layout is quite distinctive because of the central axis from the yard of Kunming Lake to the hilltop, on which important buildings are positioned including Gate of Dispelling Clouds, Hall of Dispelling Clouds, Hall of Moral Glory, Tower of Buddhist Incense, the Hall of the Sea of Wisdom, etc.

Rear-Hill and Back-Lake Area: although the constructions are fewer here, it has a unique landscape, with dense green trees, and winding paths. Visitors can feel a rare tranquility, and elegance. This area includes scenic spots such as Kunming Lake and Back Lake , which presents a tranquil beauty, Garden of Harmonious Interest , built by imitating the layout of Southern China’s classical gardens, and Suzhou Market Street, endowed with a strong flavor of the water town Suzhou.

Court Area: this is where Empress Dowager Cixi and Emperor Guangxu met officials, conducted state affairs and rested. Entering the East Palace Gate, visitors may see the main palace buildings: the Hall of Benevolence and Longevity served as the office of the Emperor, the Hall of Jade Ripples where Guangxu lived, the Hall of Joyful Longevity, Cixis residence, the Garden of Virtue and Harmony where Cixi was entertained, Yiyun House , where once lived the Empress Longyu, and Long Gallery, which measures the longest in Chinese gardens.

Front Lake Area: covering a larger part of the Summer Palace, opens up the vista of the lake. A breeze fluttering, waves gleam and willows kiss the ripples of the vast water. In this comfortable area there are the Eastern Bank and Western Bank, Seventeen-Arch Bridge, Nanhu Island, the largest island in Summer Palace, Bronze Ox, an imposing statue beside the lake, and Marble Boat, built in western style with elaborate decorations . On the western bank float six distinct bridges amongst which the Jade-Belt Bridge is the pretty!

一头乌黑的头发总是精神的束成一个马尾，圆润的苹果脸上长着一双水汪汪的大眼睛，下面是个高挺的鼻子，薄薄的嘴唇习惯性地抿着。哈，这就是我了!

我在学校对待学习非常认真，在家里也很听大人话，不仅爱学习，还很喜欢运动呢!

不知什么时候起，我迷上了打乒乓。我常常会叫上姐姐和我一起一教高下。如果她没空，我就叫爸爸或妈妈陪我打。我们因地制宜，将书桌改造成乒乓台。这不，又到了相对悠闲的周末，卧室里那哒哒的声音，预示着一场激战正在进行。开始时，比分还较稳定，我和姐姐只差一两分，到了我们5比5的时候，姐姐一连追了三个球，我的心开始慌了，这时我想到妈妈教过我发球要快和狠，对方就会接不住。我马上调整战术一连追了五个球，最后13比11艰难的胜出，我脸上露出了灿烂的笑容，而姐姐脸上却露出了失落的表情。它不仅能锻炼身体，还能丰富课余生活，更能让我领悟到熟能生巧的道理。此后的每一天，球馆里都有我的身影。当同学们在学习时，在阅读时，在玩耍时，我都在练球。我喜欢打球，因为在打球的过程中，锻炼了一个不一样的我。

但是，我最喜欢的事情不是打乒乓，而是看书。每次我做完所有的作业，就会从阁楼上精心挑选一本自己喜欢的书，坐在阳台上静静的看书，一看就是50分钟。有一次，我看得太入迷了，花了2小时看完了一整本书。我和DODO冒险队一起探险;和周小舟一起伤心、难过;和苏雨琪一起跳街舞;和哈克坡一起玩耍……

这就是我，一个热爱看书，热爱运动的小女孩。

The Palace Museum is also called the Forbidden City, whichstarted to be built in 1407. It took 200,000 people fourteenyears to build it.

The Palace Museum has treasures of over 5,000 years history.

故宫是一个古色古香的大公园。

进了午门，第一个映入眼帘的建筑是太和殿。太和殿的屋顶是用黄色的琉璃瓦铺成的，在太阳照射下闪闪发光。门前，太和殿这几字十分醒目。殿旁栽满了花木，这一种花没谢，那一种花又开了。粗壮的梧桐树，柏树高高耸立在太和殿边上的各各角落。微风从旁边的溪流上吹来，使人神清气爽!

看完太和殿，就来到了漱芳斋。听说，那是“还珠格格”中的“小燕子”格格住的地方。漱芳斋里面放着一张长方形的床，床围是一个圆洞，像一扇向你敞开的拱形大门一样!一只小蝴蝶飞进来，在圆桌上停了一会儿，好像在说：“漱芳斋真美呀!”

告别了美丽的漱芳斋，就是养心殿。听说这里是给黄帝休息、养身用的。里面有两张连在一起的木椅，那是给皇帝和贵宾聊天时用的。圆桌上放着茶具。十分庄重!

哦!美丽的故宫，你就是祖国的一颗明珠。
