故宫，坐落在中国北京市市中心（北京的中轴线上），旧称紫禁城，1420年开始建造，是明清两代的皇宫，是中国伟大建筑之一。故宫的建造结合了中国古代建筑的精华，全部建筑由“前朝”和“内廷”两部分组成，四面由筒子河（金水河）环抱。

我从天安门沿金水桥进去，来到了故宫里面。啊！好大呀！好辉煌呀！走一走，来到了午门，看到了汉白玉的石阶及围栏，在每一个围栏之间都雕刻着巨龙，栩栩如生。

故宫里的每一间房子都是那么金碧辉煌。通过讲解器了解到：故宫有9999间半房屋，建筑面积15万平方米，占地面积72万多平方米。来到一间大的殿宇里，空间感超大，妈妈说：“过去的皇帝也太奢侈了吧”！也是，这么大的地方，去哪都不方便。

故宫太大了，每一处都令人叹为观止。就拿钟表馆来说吧，这里汇集了世界各国的珍奇钟表。一个很神奇的钟表吸引了我，它的外观分上下两层，最上面是一个小亭子，亭子下有一个人，每到一个整点，小人便开始敲钟。最神奇的地方在下面，有一个坐在桌边的小人，手持笔，浸饱墨水后便写下：“八方向化，九土来王”这八个字，太神奇了！

整个故宫游玩下来花了将近一天的时间。高大巍峨的宫殿，气势磅礴的楼宇亭廊，加上精工细致的雕刻，感觉到过去劳动人民不尽的智慧和才能，自己由衷的感叹道：中国伟大！中国劳动人民伟大！

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。明朝着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的，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，十分壮观的。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。殿内明堂有堂陛的，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的。殿前有大月台的，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。

According to a survey, more than two thirds of people in China agree that, the public moral level is lower than before. This figure, although hard to accept, has indicated the fact that the nation’s overall morality is declining. If you pay some attention, you could easily point out some improper behaviors happening around: young men refusing to give seats to the old on buses; shoppers jamming into queue instead of waiting in line; crude riders neglecting red lights, etc. So what the hell is going on?

As analysts have figured out, this trend of degradation mainly originated from faulty education. For decades, Chinese schools simply infuse bookish knowledge to their students, whilst moral cultivation becomes a kind of formalism; on the other hand, children are naturally influenced by their family and other adults in the society, most of whom are too sophisticated to be considered as eligible moral models.

Facing such disappointing condition, you may ask: how can things become better? As far as I am concerned, we must following these three steps. First of all: self-shaping. We should manage ourselves well, and try to shape our own morality as perfect as possible. The second step: family-shaping, which is to behave as the model for your children and improve their moral status through strict discipline. The third: If you are leading people, such as being a manager or national president, you could reinforce your whole organization’s moral situation with policy and your own action. Even if you’re no leader, you’ll have a positive impact on the society if only you manage yourself well and try to influence others as much as possible.

一项调查显示,超过三分之二的人认为,在中国,公众的道德水平比以前低。这个数字,虽然难以接受,表明这个国家的整体道德正在下降。如果你支付一些关注,你可以很容易地指出一些不当行为发生:年轻人拒绝把座位给老人在公共汽车上,购物者干扰到队列,而不是排队等候;原油骑手忽视红灯,等。那么到底是怎么回事?

分析人士指出,这一趋势的退化主要源于错误的教育。几十年来,中国的学校只是注入书生气的知识给学生,同时道德培养成为一种形式主义;另一方面,孩子们自然受到家人和其他成年人的社会,大多数人太复杂的道德模型被认为是合格的。

面对这种令人失望的情况,你可能会问:如何成为更好的事情吗?就我而言,我们必须遵循这些三个步骤。首先:self-shaping。我们应该管理好,努力塑造我们自己的道德尽可能完美。第二步:family-shaping,这是为你的孩子像模型通过严格的纪律和提高他们的道德地位。第三:如果你是领先的人,比如作为一个经理或者国家总统,你可以加强你的整个组织的道德形势与政策和自己的行动。即使你没有领导人,你就会对社会产生积极的影响如果只有你自己管理自己,试图尽可能多地影响他人。

We are so development-oriented that we almost can sacrifice our blue sky and pure water in order to obtain a little material gain.

As a consequence， it is imperative for us to take drastic actions.

On the other hand， there should be an increasingly loud voice from the public for firm actions against poisonous gas sent off and unhealthy water polluted by factories.

The Great Wall

The Great Wall building has a long history, vast engazuowenng magnificent, is the worlds rare miracle. The Great Wall is the four corners of the world, stretching in our great motherland vast land. It looks like a great dragon, surmounts lofty hills, through the vast grassland, across the vast desert, towards the vast sea. According to historical records, more than 20 states and feudal dynasty built the Great Wall, if constructs each time the Great Wall together, about 100000 miles above. The length of the Great Wall that was built by The Qin, Han, and Ming 3 Dynasty was more than 10 kilo miles. Now our country Xinjiang, Gansu, Ningxia, Shaanxi, Inner Mongolia, Shanxi, Hebei, Beijing, Tianjin, Liaoning, Jilin, Heilongjiang, Henan, Shandong, Hubei, Hunan and other province, city, autonomous regions have the ancient the Great Wall, peak fire platform remains. Of which only the Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region the Great Wall amounted to more than 3.

The Ming Dynasty in the" outside" beyond the Great Wall, also built" inside" and" three" the Great Wall the Great Wall. " Neiguan" the Great Wall in the Northern Qi Dynasty had built for the foundation, from Inner Mongolia and Shanxi at the junction of west east “Pianguan”, the Yanmenguan, flat various pass into Hebei, and then turned to the northeast, Fangshan, Changping, the source

" Three" the Great Wall in many places and" inside" the Great Wall, some places two cities are separated by only tens of in. In addition, but also to build a large number of" repeated walls". Yanmenguan area" repeated walls “to have 24 much!

The Great Wall is the working people in ancient China created the miracle. Beginning with QinShihuang, constructs the Great Wall always is a big project. According to the record, QinShihuang used the million of labors to build the Great Wall, occupy countrywide population 1 / 20! There were no machinery, in addition to earth, carrying bricks can use donkeys, goats can climb the cattle, all labor and all must rely on manpower, work environment and high mountains and lofty hills, cliff.

The great wall of the engazuowenng quantity, according to rough estimates, only constructs take the Ming Dynasty as an example, if its masoy, earth is used to build a thickness of 1 meter, 5 meters high walls, circled the earth for over a week. If used for paving a 5 meters wide, 35 cm thick road, it could circle the earth three or four

weeks. If all dynasties built a total of 50 thousand kilometers calculation, then this wall can rotate around the earth several weeks, this road, around the earth in thirty or forty weeks.

Some places

completely using the cliffs, rivers and lakes as a natural barrier, it can be called art beats nature. The

Great Wall, as a great project, become the Chinese nation is a valuable heritage.

长城修筑的历史悠久，工程雄伟浩大，是世界少有的奇迹。长城东西南北交错，绵延伏于我们伟大祖国辽阔的土地上。它好像一条巨龙，翻越巍巍群山，穿过茫茫草原，跨过浩瀚的沙漠，奔向苍茫的大海。根据历史文献记载，有20多个诸侯国家和封建王朝修筑过长城，若把各个时代修筑的长城加起来，大约有10万里以上。其中秦、汉、明3个朝代所修长城的长度都超过了1万里。现在我国新疆、 甘肃、 宁夏、 陕西、 内蒙古、 山西、河北、北京、 天津、 辽宁、 吉林、 黑龙江、河南、山东、湖北、湖南等省、市、自治区都有古长城、峰火台的遗迹。其中仅内蒙古自治区的长城就达3万多里。

明朝在“外边”长城之外，还修筑了“内边”长城和“内三关”长城。“内关”长城以北齐所筑为基础，起自内蒙古与山西交界处的偏关以西，东行经雁门关、平型诸关入河北，然后折向东北，经来源、房山、昌平诸县，直达居庸关，然后又由北而东，至怀柔的四海关、与“外边”长城相接，以紫荆关为中心，大致成南北走向。“内三关”长城在很多地方和“内边”长城并行，有些地方两城相隔仅数十里。除此以外，还修筑了大量的“重城”。雁门关一带的“重城”就有24道之多!

长城是我国古代劳动人民创造的奇迹。自秦始皇开始，修筑长城一直是一项大工程。据记载，秦始皇使用了近百万劳动力修筑长城，占全国人口的1/20!当时没有任何机械，除运土、运砖可以用毛驴、山羊能爬山的牲畜外，全部劳动都得靠人力，而工作环境又是崇山峻岭、峭壁深壑。可以想见，没有大量的人群进行艰苦的劳动，是无法完成这项巨大工程的。

万里长城的工程量，据粗略估计，仅以明朝修筑为例，若将其砖石、土方用修筑一道厚1米、高5米的大墙，可环绕地球一周有余。如果用来铺筑一条宽5米、厚35厘米的马路，那就能绕地球三四周了。如果把所有朝代所修的总计10万里来计算，则这道长墙可绕地球十几周，这条马路，可绕地球三四十周。

“因地地形，用险制塞”是修筑长城的一条重要经验，在秦始皇的时候已经把它肯定下来，司马迁把它写入《史记》之中。以后每一个朝代修筑长城都是按照这一原则进行的。凡是修筑关城隘口都是非曲直选择在两山峡谷之间，或是河流转折之处。或是平川往来必经之地，这样既能控制险要，又可节约人力和材料，以达“一夫当关，万夫莫开”的效果。修筑城堡或烽火台也是选择在“四顾要之处”至于修筑城墙，更是充分地利用地地形，如像居庸关、八达岭的长城都有是沿着山岭的脊背修筑，有的地段从城墙外侧看去非常险峻，内侧则甚是平缓，收“易守难攻”之效。在辽宁境内，明代辽东镇的长城有一种

叫山险墙、劈山墙的，就是利用悬崖陡壁，稍微把崖壁劈削一下就成为长城 了。还有一些地方完全利用危崖绝壁、江河湖泊作为天然屏障，真可以说是巧夺天工了.长城，作为一顶伟大的工程，成为中华民族的一份宝贵遗产。

Autumn is a golden season and a bumper season. Autumn, the crops are all mature, and everywhere is a Huang Cancan, people can not help but want to sing a song, sing the joy of harvest.

However, in recent days, the weather was cold, not cloudy, is the downpour, it is cool and warm, the hearts can not help but add a bit sad.

Today s rain is really big, like a row of soybeans from heaven. This rain is also very anxious, low-lying place instantly become a Wang Yang. Occasional vehicles through, from time to time will provoke a blossoming flowers. The pedestrians on the road were hugging by the umbrella; the vehicle horned the horn from time to time, fearing the pedestrian. People standing high to see this scene, all feel like a boat like a boat in the river in general.

The rain is too fast to go, and the sky is sunny for a while.

I opened the window, fresh air from the nose, even the trees next to the road feel more than just the spirit. Autumn rain, although brought the slightest chill, but also people memorable.

游完闻名遐迩的万里长城之后，妈妈又带我们去了世界文化遗产——故宫。

故宫是明清两代皇帝的居住场所，位于北京的正中心，因此被称为北京的“心脏”。它始建于明代永乐帝朱棣统治期间。故宫富丽堂皇，多处用十分珍贵的汉白玉制作而成，让人称赞不已。

进入午门之后，就等于正式走进故宫了。我们穿过太和门，来到了非常雄伟壮观的太和殿，太和殿为皇帝上朝的地方，也就是皇上的“单位”。我们继续往前走，走过了中和门、中和殿、保和门、保和殿、乾清门。就到了大名鼎鼎的乾清宫，乾清宫附近有一个名为“养心殿”的宫殿。乾清宫、养心殿都是皇帝的住所，不同的是，明代皇帝包括清代的前两位皇帝都住在乾清宫，而雍正帝及此后的皇帝都住在养心殿。

下面我们又来到了后宫，后宫分着东六宫和西六宫。其中，坤宁宫为明代皇后的寝宫，清代皇帝和皇后大婚的地方。而永寿宫、翊坤宫、储秀宫、钟粹宫、咸福宫、延禧宫、承乾宫、太极殿、景仁宫、永和宫、景阳宫、长春宫则为妃嫔寝宫。在这里，我要强调一下储秀宫的“丽景轩”，因为慈禧老佛爷为贵人时在此住过的啦!呵呵。

故宫既雄伟有壮观，真不愧为世界文化遗产，故宫，真美!

大年初三晴空万里我们一家兴高采烈地来到故宫。故宫旧称紫禁城。是明清两代皇宫，中国现存最大最完整的古建筑群。故宫一共有四个大门，东面的叫“东华门”、南面的叫“神武门”、西面的叫“西华门”、正对着我们的也是最大的便是“午门”了。

说起“午门”是在古代某位大臣犯了大错便要从这门推出去斩了。我们过“内金水桥”穿过“太和门”便来到了故宫里最大的殿“太和殿”，它是所有宫殿里最“高级”的殿了，它前面有二对铜龟和铜鹤，后面的“中和殿”、“宝和殿”的造型与“太和殿”都不一样，这些大殿都是由很多根红色的大柱支撑，每个大柱上都刻着一条回旋盘绕栩栩如生的金龙，格外壮观。这三座大殿是故宫最有名气的“三大殿”。我们来到“后宫”，这里是太后、皇帝及后妃们起居的地方。屋里摆设有非常华丽的镶满各种钻石的钟表，每间屋子里都有一张华贵的床，床上的被子摆放的整整齐齐的，每个桌子上都有一支红蜡烛，上面盘着一条金龙，这些都体现出当时封建时候的君主生活的奢侈和豪华。我们来到御花园,从小而狭窄的假山中间的小道走出去，映入眼帘的是一片宽阔的水池，真有点“山重水复疑无路，柳暗花明又一村”的感觉。

这个清澈的水池里养了许多的美丽的金鱼，有红的，红加白的，它们在水池里游来游去悠闲自得，使人觉得如同来到了人间仙境一般，十分幽静。听说当年乾隆皇帝就在这个环境优美，如诗如画的地方作了许许多多的优美的诗，可见这里的景色有多么迷人。

时间过得真快,晚上就要来临了,我该走了，还真有点依依不舍 ，真想再呆一会儿。在车上,我心想：故宫真美，尤其是御花园，它的景色是多么幽静典雅啊!
