正月十五是中国的传统节日，也叫元宵节，听爷爷说：“正月十五是点灯节。谁家生了男孩必须在腊月十五的宗氏祠点上一盏灯，一直点到正月十五。这表示宗氏又添了一口丁了。”真是重男轻女。现在可不时兴这个了。

正月十五，太阳一下山，花灯都亮起来了，漳州立刻变成灯的海洋，夜幕一降临，到处都是人流了，男女老少，个个满脸笑容，我们全家向花灯集中点——中山公园走去。当我们来到中山公园，看到的是花灯海洋，人山人海，我们随波逐流，观赏着各式各样的花灯：有飞龙喷火；狮子玩球；鲤鱼吐珠；龙凤吉祥……真是千姿百态。

“轰！轰！轰！”啊！人民广场放烟花开始了，人们往人民广场的方向望去，看到天边是五颜六色的烟花，真像仙女撒花，美丽极了，人们无不欢呼雀跃，感到无比快乐，幸福。花灯，烟火，笑脸，呈现了漳州繁荣、和谐的景象。

农历正月十五夜，是我国名间传统的庆典元宵节。俗称“灯节”。旧习元宵之夜，城里乡间，到处张灯结彩，观花灯，猜灯谜，盛况空前。届时，不论皇室贵戚，平民百姓，深闺淑女，均可破常规，顺习俗。制灯玩耍，出游嬉闹。

唐宋清明，元宵节成了年节中重要的民众娱乐活动。墨客骚人，常吟诗作画，作为增添雅兴。今天，元宵放灯、观灯，仍是中国广大地区人民喜闻乐见的民俗娱乐活动。特别是近几年，出现了空前繁荣的景象，可它究竟是什么时候起源的呢?在1983年出版的《中国年节》中认为：“到了汉明永定十年(公元67年)，蔡愔从印度求得佛法，汉明帝为了提倡佛法，命令在元宵节点灯，以表示对佛法的尊敬。”

这就是元宵节的来源。我喜欢元宵节。

元宵节与春节相接，白昼为市，热闹非凡，夜间燃灯，蔚为壮观。特别是那精巧、多彩的灯火，更使其成为春节期间娱乐活动的高潮。至清代，又增加了舞龙、舞狮、跑旱船、踩高跷、扭秧歌等内容，只是节期缩短为四到五天。关于元宵节的来历，民间还有几种有趣的传说：

传说在很久以前，凶禽猛兽很多，四处伤害人和牲畜，人们就组织起来去打它们，有一只神鸟困为迷路而降落人间，却意外的被不知情的猎人给射死了。天帝知道后十分震怒，立即传旨，下令让天兵于正月十五日到人间放火，把人间的人畜财产通通烧死。天帝的女儿心地善良，不忍心看百姓无辜受难，就冒着生命的危险，偷偷驾着祥云来到人间，把这个消息告诉了人们。众人听说了这个消息，有如头上响了一个焦雷。吓得不知如何是好，过了好久，才有个老人家想出个法子，他说：“在正月十四、十五、十六日这三天，每户人家都在家里张灯结彩、点响爆竹、燃放烟火。这样一来，天帝就会以为人们都被烧死了。”

大家听了都点头称是，便分头准备去了。到了正月十五这天晚上，天帝往下一看，发觉人间一片红光，响声震天，连续三个夜晚都是如此，以为是大火燃烧的火焰，以中大快。人们就这样保住了自己的生命及财产。为了纪念这次成功，从此每到正月十五，家家户户都悬挂灯笼，放烟火来纪念这个日子。

I am. I was born in. I graduate from senior high school and major in English. I started learning English since I was 12 years old. My parents have a lot of American friends. That’s why I have no problem communicating with Americans or others by speaking English.

In my spare time, I like to do anything relating to English such as listening to English songs, watching English movies or TV programs, or even attending the activities held by some English clubs or institutes. I used to go abroad for a short- term English study. During that time, I learned a lot of daily life English and saw a lot of different things.

I think language is very interesting. I could express one substance by using different sounds. So I wish I could study and read more English literatures and enlarge my knowledge.

关于元宵节，有一个有趣的传说：很久很久以前，玉皇大帝的神鸟误落在一个村庄。那时的动物都是很残忍的，所以村里有很多猎人，猎人看见神鸟不知他的来历，以为是只害鸟，就把它杀死了。玉皇大帝知道此事后大发雷霆，下令派3000天兵正月十五去村里防火把村子里的人都烧光。七仙女听到了就让一个神仙去帮人们，人们按照神仙的说法，在村子周围点上篝火，再点上许多灯笼，玉皇大帝玉皇大帝从天上看到此景，以为村民自己放火烧死了，也就没派天兵，村民幸免于难。从此，人们每到正月十五就点篝火，挂灯笼，就有了元宵节。

这个传说是假的，元宵节的真实情况是起源于汉朝，到今天已经有1000多年的历史了。汉朝时，印度佛教流传进中国，佛教中有供奉舍利子的习惯做法。于是汉朝的皇帝就从印度人哪里学来了供奉舍利子，在正月十五的晚上，整个皇宫张灯结彩，满朝文武上朝，供奉舍利子。后来这种做法流传到了民间，民间没有舍利子，只是张灯结彩，放篝火，于是就形成了元宵节最古老的习俗。

到隋炀帝的时候，元宵节就更热闹了。开始演节目，光演员就有30000人，乐队人数18000人，舞台有8里地长。到了唐朝，更是盛况空前，大唐盛世的元宵节过三天。唐朝是中国古代最强盛的朝代，唐玄宗年间，皇宫为了元宵节，制作了50000盏灯笼，做了一个大型灯楼，有150尺高，人们在里面可以游玩、喝酒等等，大街上的人们也都提着灯笼。街上还有“宝马雕车香满路”，一辆辆的花车，车上坐着主人，上好的宝马拉车，车还散发着香味，后面还跟着成队列的仕女。人们尽情观看玩耍。

宋朝的皇帝很喜欢元宵节，就把过元宵节的日期由三天改为五天。元宵节的好多习俗都是在宋朝形成的。这时或元宵节的规模也很大，万盏灯火，累成那个金山，百里之内灯火不绝。明朝朱元璋把元宵节扩大到10天，从正月初八到正月十七，那时的元宵节很热闹，很好玩。

南方人也和我们一样过元宵节。他们会在元宵节这天的白天或晚上走百病、偷菜、送孩儿灯。走百病就是妇女聚集在一起，沿着墙根走，一直走到村外，逢桥必过，这样把疾病送到村外去 ，以保身体健康。偷菜就是未婚女性到别人家的菜园里偷菜，希望自己将来生的孩子白白胖胖。送孩儿灯也不错，是长辈或者亲友给已婚未育的妇女送灯笼，祝愿早生贵子。

在我们东北，家乡的元宵节风俗也很有意思你像滚冰和打花脸。小孩在元宵节这天，要到冰上去打滚，意思是滚了冰身体健康，抗冻。打花脸是在元宵节的晚上，把黑色涂在手上，遇见谁就往谁的脸上涂，也有的在家里一伙小孩互相打花脸，谁脸上最花谁就最好，就有好命运。

啊，原来元宵节真是不错。，又有好词吃的，又有好玩的，又有好看的。是的，元宵节是中国历史上最热闹的节日，人们在一起快快乐乐很有趣儿，我们中华民族一代代的人们都在元宵节里得到了莫大的快乐。

有关元宵节的由来，据说是在汉武帝时代，宫中有位宫女叫做“元宵”，很想念家中的亲人，但又无法出宫，有位大臣叫东方朔，他知道后决定要帮助元宵，于是他想了个办法。东方朔假扮成算命师，来为人民算命并说：“正月十五火焚身，就是指那天会有一位骑驴的女子，来烧这里，但只要在正月十三那天，城里的老人都到城门等候，天黑时，女子就会来，只要跪地祈求，全城便可得救。”

果然在正月十三那天来了一位骑驴的女子(其实是元宵妹妹扮的)。女子说：“我是领旨来烧城的，但百姓求情，我就给你们一个预言：长安在劫，火烧帝阙，十六天火，燄红宵夜。”说完便离去了。汉武帝知道后请东方朔想办法，东方朔说：“听说火神爱吃汤圆，就叫元宵来做吧，毕竟她最会做汤圆，另外还要臣民一起做灯，十五晚上挂满大街小巷，并点燃爆竹，到时候，火神就会以为那是大火，一定能瞒过祂。十五的晚上元宵照东方朔的指示，果然见到自己的家人;从此以后，这个习俗就流传下来，也因为供奉的汤圆是元宵做的，所以人们也叫汤圆“元宵”，正月十五也称做“元宵节”。

每逢元宵节除了提灯笼、吃元宵外，当然各地都会办的就是猜灯谜活动。但如今各地都有许多不同型态的节庆安排，像放天灯、放蜂炮、炸寒单等，变成每年固定举办的民俗庆典活动，也象征年节即将告一段落，代表过完元宵后，又将是上学、工作的开始了。

关于元宵节的来历,民间有几种有趣的传说：

传说一：传说在很久以前,有一只神鸟困为迷路而降落人间,却意外的被不知情的猎人给射死了.天帝知道 后十分震怒,就下令让天兵于正月十五日到人间放火,把人类通通烧死. 天帝的女儿心地善良,不忍心看百姓无辜受难,就冒着生命的危险,把这 个消息告诉了人们.众人听说了这个消息,有如头上响了一个焦雷.吓得 不知如何是好.过了好久好久,才有个老人家想出个法子,他说：“在正 月十四、十五、十六日这三天,每户人家都在家里挂起红灯笼、点爆竹、 放烟火.这样一来,天帝就会以为人们都被烧死了”.大家听了都点头称 是,便分头准备去了.到了正月十五这天晚上,天兵往下一看,发觉人间 一片红光,以为是大火燃烧的火焰,就禀告天帝不用下凡放火了.人们就 这样保住了生命及财产.为了纪念这次的成功,从此每到正月十五,家家 户户都悬挂灯笼,放烟火来纪念这个日子.

传说二：则和吃元宵的习俗有关：相传汉武帝有个宠臣名叫东方朔,他的个性既善良又风趣.如果宫 里有谁得罪了汉武帝,总要靠东方朔来讲情.有一天冬天,下了几天大雪 ,汉武帝觉得有点无聊,东方朔就到御花园去给武帝折梅花.刚进园门, 就发现有个宫女泪流满面的准备投井.东方朔慌忙上前搭救,并问明她要 自杀的原因.原来,这个宫女名叫元宵,家里还有双亲及一个妹妹.自从 她进宫以后,就再没和家人见面.每年到了腊尽春来的时节,就比平常更 加的思念家人.她想,既然不能在双亲跟前尽孝,还不如一死了之,于是 才来投井.东方朔听了她的遭遇,非常的同情她,就向她保证,一定设法 让她和家人团聚.这一天,东方朔出宫后,便在长安街上摆了一个占卜摊 .不少人都争着向他占卜求卦.不料,每个人所占所求,都是“正月十六 火焚身“的签语.一时之间,长安里起了个大恐慌.人们纷纷求问解灾的 办法.东方朔就说：“正月十三日傍晚,火神君会派一位‘赤衣神女下‘凡查访.她就是奉旨烧长安的使者,你们若看到一个骑粉色银驴的红衣姑娘,马上跪地哀求.那姑娘便说：“我是领旨来烧长安的.玉帝还要站在 南天门上观看.既承父老求情,我把抄录的偈语给你们,可让当今天子想想办法.”说完,便扔下一张红帖,扬长而去.老百姓拿起红帖,赶紧送 到皇宫去禀报皇上.汉武帝接过来一看,只见上面写着：“长安在劫,火焚帝阙,十六天火,焰红宵夜”.汉武帝一看大惊,连忙请来了足智多谋 的东方朔.东方朔假意的想了一想,就说：”听说火神君最爱吃汤圆,宫 中的元宵不是经常给你做汤圆吗?十五晚上可让元宵做汤圆.万岁焚香上 供,传令京都家家都做汤圆,一齐敬奉火神君.再传谕臣民一起在十六晚 上挂灯,满城点鞭炮、放烟火,好像满城大火,这样就可以瞒过玉帝了. 此外,通知城外百姓,十六晚上进城观灯,杂在人群中消灾解难」.武帝 听后,十分高兴,就传旨照东方朔的办法去做.到了正月十六日长安城里张 灯结彩,游人熙来攘往,热闹非常.元宵的父母也带着妹妹进城观灯.当他们看到写有“元宵”字样的大宫灯时,惊喜的高喊：“元宵!元宵!”元宵听到喊声,终于和双亲、妹妹团聚了.如此热闹了一夜,长安城果然 平安无事.汉武帝大喜,便下令以后每到正月十五都做汤圆供火神君,正 月十六照样全城挂灯放烟火.因为元宵做的汤圆最好,人们就把汤圆叫元宵,这天叫做元宵节.

传说三：汉高祖刘邦死后,吕后之子刘盈登基为汉惠帝.惠帝生性懦弱,优柔寡断,大权渐渐落再吕后手中.汉惠帝病死后吕后独揽朝政把刘氏天下变成了吕氏天下,朝中老臣,刘氏宗室深感愤慨,但都惧怕吕后残暴而敢怒不敢言.

吕后病死后,诸吕惶惶不安害怕遭到伤害和排挤.于是,在上将军吕禄家中秘密集合,共谋作乱之事,以便彻底夺取刘氏江山.

此事传至刘氏宗室齐王刘囊耳中,刘囊为保刘氏江山,决定起兵讨伐诸吕随后与开国老臣周勃,陈平取得联系,设计解除了吕禄,"诸吕之乱"终于被彻底平定.

平乱之后,众臣拥立刘邦的第二个儿子刘恒登基,称汉文帝.文帝深感太平盛世来之不易,便把平息"诸吕之乱"的正月十五,定为与民同乐日,京城里家家张灯结彩,以示庆祝.从此,正月十五便成了一个普天同庆的民间节日--"闹元宵".

农历正月十五夜,是我国民间传统的元宵节,又称上元节,灯节.正月十五闹元宵,将从除夕开始延续的庆祝活动推向又一个高潮.元宵之夜,大街小巷张灯结彩,人们赏灯,猜灯谜,吃元宵,成为世代相沿的习俗.

元宵节赏灯的习俗始于汉朝.隋唐时发展成盛大的灯市.到宋元时期,京都灯市常常绵延数十里.灯会的时间,汉朝只限于正月十五一夜,唐玄宗延长到三夜,到明朝规定从正月初八一直持续到正月十七.唐朝灯会中出现了杂耍技艺,宋代开始有灯谜.明朝有增加了戏曲表演.灯市所用的彩灯,也演绎出 “橘灯 ”、 “绢灯 ”、 “五彩羊皮灯 ”、 “无骨麦秸灯”、“走马灯”、“孔明灯”等等.始于南宋的灯谜,生动活泼,饶有风趣.经过历代发展创造,至今仍在使用的谜格有粉底格、秋千格、卷帘格、白头格、徐妃格、求凤格等一百余种,大多有限定的格式和奇巧的要求,巧立名目,妙意横生.

元宵节吃元宵的习俗始于宋朝.意在祝福全家团圆和睦,在新的一年中康乐幸福.元宵分实心和带馅两种.有香辣甜酸咸五味.可以煮、炒、油炸或蒸制.桂花酒酿元宵、以肉馅、豆沙、芝麻、桂花、果仁制成的五味元宵以及用葱、芥、蒜、韭、姜制成的象征勤劳、长久、向上的五辛元宵都各有特色.

今年2月28日是正月十五元宵节，元宵节里有吃元宵、舞狮子、观花灯等习俗。其中，吃元宵是一种独特旳小吃，吃起来香甜甜香旳，令人齿颊留香。那么，你们知道元宵节为什么要吃元宵吗，让我来讲给你听吧！

元宵起源于春秋时期旳楚昭王，是楚昭王回国途中乘船在长江时，看见江面上漂着几个浮物，颜色是白旳还有一点儿黄，船工捞起来献给了楚昭王。昭王在吃旳时候发现里面有红如胭脂旳瓤，味道鲜美。回国后，昭王命令人以山楂为瓤，仿制给臣民食用，以庆祝家国团圆。这一天，正好是正月十五，后代相沿成习。

如今，北方人称其为元宵，在南方确称“汤圆。这些与“团圆“音近，取团圆之意，又逢十五月圆之夜，象征着全家人团团圆圆，和睦幸福，人们也用此来思念离别旳新人。

今天是一年一度的元宵节，我和哥哥开开心心的去闹元宵。我们吃完元宵饭就出去闹元宵。我们来到烧拷店，买了一袋烧烤，开始闹元宵。我们在大路上玩耍，看迎老爷，英歌舞，花车，舞龙，铜身坐刀矫，扛炮箱，八音，舞狮采青，十分热闹。我们一路跟着队伍迎老爷，人们纷纷点燃香火拜老爷。

到了云落市场对面，英歌在打圈，我和哥哥在外面被别人挡到，看不见就挤了进去。英歌舞的各个人，脸上画着厚厚的妆，十分可怕。接下来的是舞狮采青，一根长长的铁柱，一头狮爬上去采青，吓死我了。然后是舞龙，各个生龙活虎，大龙一上一下，十分精彩，大家连连叫好。还有许许多多的节目。今年的元宵节我玩的十分高兴，我希望元宵节一年比一年好！

重阳节在当青年心目中的淡化，反映了传统文化对年轻一代影响的日渐式微。年轻人可以用学习压力大、工作竞争激烈等客观因素来解释自己的这种忘却，但无法回避的另一个事实是，在传统节日被淡忘的同时，西方节日却在不少年轻人中风光无限。如今许多年轻人热衷于西方的情人节，却对中国传统“七夕”节不屑一顾，就是一例。

事实上大多数中国的传统节日是传统文化的积淀形式，是传统伦理观、价值观的特定反映形态。然而我们不少年轻人却不知道为什么要在重阳节登高、赏菊，更无法体会其中所孕育的尊老敬老的伦理。在此次调查中，90%的年轻人知道自己父母的生日，但从未想到在重阳节为父母送去一份祝福。这种对重阳节“有名无实”的认识，反映了传统伦理道德观念在不少年轻人观念中的某种弱化。

当然这种弱化需要辩证地看待。对于出国留学网传统文化中糟粕的东西，这种弱化无疑有益。但是对于那些类似“老吾老，以及人之老;幼吾幼，以及人之幼”、“贫而无谄，富而无骄”之类优秀的东西，这种弱化就不应该了。因为，恰恰是孕育于后者之中的伦理规范与价值观念，成为构筑现代人格的重要力量之一。

在重阳节被一些年轻人逐渐淡忘的背后，我们看到的是传统文化教育的脆弱，好在这种淡漠已经引起社会的注意。目前北京已有25所中小学把诵读四书五经的部分内容列入课程表。在全国估计已有100万孩子开始把诵读古诗文作为日常学习的必修课。

我想重要的不是孩子们背了多少古诗，而是让他们多了解一下自己祖国优秀的文化遗产，并在这种优良文化的哺育中真正成为“知书达理、尚礼重义”的栋梁之才。

“国庆”一词，本指国家喜庆之事，最早见于西晋。西晋的文学家陆机在《五等诸侯论》一文中就曾有“国庆独飨其利，主忧莫与其害”的记载。我国封建时代,国家喜庆的大事，莫大过于帝王的登基、诞辰(清朝称皇帝的生日为万岁节)等。因而我国古代把皇帝即位、诞辰称为“国庆”。今天将国家建立的纪念日为国庆。

1949年9月的政协一届一次会议上决定把10月1日定为国庆节。在1949年10月1日宣告中华人民共和国成立，这是中国历史上一个最伟大的转变。1949年10月1日下午3时，北京30万人在天安门广场隆重举行典礼，庆祝中华人民共和国中央人民政府成立。毛泽东主席庄严宣告中华人民共和国、中央人民政府成立，并亲自升起了第一面五星红旗。毛主席宣读了《中华人民共和国中央人民政府公告》：“中华人民共和国中央人民政府为代表中华人民共和国全国人民唯一合法政府。凡愿遵守平等、互利及互相尊重领土主权等项原则的任何外国政府，本政府均愿与之建立外交关系。”随即举行阅兵式和群众游行。朱德总司令检阅了海陆空军，并宣布《中国人民解放军总部命令》，命令中国人民解放军迅速肃清国民党一切残余武装，解放一切尚未解放的国土。同日，北京新华广播电台在天安门广场进行中华人民共和国开国大典实况广播。这是中国人民广播史上第一次大规模的实况广播，全国各地人民广播电台同时广播。

1949年10月1日,是新中国成立的纪念日。这里应该说明一点,在许多人的印象中,1949年的10月l日在北京天安门广场举行了有数十万军民参加的中华人民共和国开国大典。其实,人们头脑中的这一印象并不准确，因为,1949年10月1日在天安门广场举行的典礼是中华人民共和国中央人民政府成立盛典,而不是开国大典。实际上,中华人民共和国的"开国",也就是说中华人民共和国的成立,早在当年10月1日之前一个星期就已经宣布过了。当时也不叫"开国大典",而是称作"开国盛典"。时间是1949年9月21日.这一天,中国人民政治协商会议筹备会主任毛泽东在政协第一届会议上所致的开幕词中就已经宣告了新中国的诞生。

那么10月1日的国庆又是怎么回事呢?在中国人民政治协商会议第一届全国委员会第一次会议上,许广平发言说:"马叙伦委员请假不能来,他托我来说,中华人民共和国的成立,应有国庆日,所以希望本会决定把10月1日定为国庆日。"毛泽东说"我们应作一提议,向政府建议,由政府决定。"1949年10月2日,中央人民政府通过《关于中华人民共和国国庆日的决议》,规定每年10月1日为国庆日,并以这一天作为宣告中华人民共和国成立的日子。从此,每年的10月1日就成为全国各族人民隆重欢庆的节日了。

国庆这种特殊纪念方式一旦成为新的,全民性的节日形式,便承载了反映这个国家,民族的凝聚力的功能。同时国庆日上的大规模庆典活动,也是政府动员与号召力的具体体现。近代国家的这种庆典就是对外显示力量,因为它们大多是在争取独立,政治革命,反对殖民主义的斗争中诞生的,需要通过这种力量的显示,以增强国民信心。显示力量,增强国民信心,体现凝聚力,发挥号召力。

It is said that in the year of 300 AD, there was a kind old man and his name was Saint Nicholas. He was always ready to help the poor and often gave presents to them.

Today, Father Christmas is an imaginary figure, but nearly all young children believe in him. They think he is a happy old man with a long white beard and a long red robe.

On the night of the twenty-fourth of December every year, Father Christmas from some cold northern land comes down the chimney of the fireplace to put presents by the beds of children or to fill their stockings. So when children go to bed that night, they hang up their stockings, and on Christmas morning they wake to find them full of presents. Of course, it‘s really their parents who fill the stockings.

Another name for Father Christmas is Santa Claus.

译文：

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。
