苏州园林虎丘的英语导游词
第一篇：苏州园林虎丘的英语导游词
The Tiger Hill is said to be the most attractive spot of historical interest in Suzhou.Long time ago, it was a vast sea in this area.This hill used to be one of the small ter, due to the movement of the earth, the sea turned into the mulberry fields.Then the Yangtze River Delta came into being, This Island became the hill on the plain.So it was called the hill of Emergence from the Sea, with 34 meters above sea level, and some 20 hectares in area.In 514 BC, He Lu, king of State Wu, founded the city of Suzhou and made it his capital.This hill was his summer resort.In 496 BC the king took the troop to the State Yue, the battle happened in Jiaxing area.The king was seriously injured in the battle and died on his way back home.Then his son named FuChai ordered 100,000 labors to build tomb for his father.Three days after the king’s burial, a tiger was said to appear on the top of the hill to guard his to mb.So the hill’s name was changed into the Tiger Hill.Then the local people said the shape of the hill looks like a crouching tiger.The building ahead is its head.The gate is regarded as its mouth, two round windows as its eyes and flying eaves as its ears.The hill path is its back, the pagoda atop is its tail.In the hill, we can see many interesting rocks, behind them, are stories and legends of the king.The most famous highlight is the pagoda, it is known as the leaning pagoda of Pisa in China.The famous poet Su Dongpo in the Song Dynasty once remarked, “T o visit Suzhou without seeing the Tiger Hill would be a thing for regret.”
Here is the Bridge of Emergence from the Sea.In 1956, when the hill moat was dredged the bridge was built, and it was built
of granite.We can see 12 lovely stone carved lions on the railings of the bridge, they are vivid and lifelike.The lion sculpture is a symbol of auspicious in China.The second entrance hall is also called the Broken Beam Hall.In the hill there are only two things which are original, one is this hall, and the other is the pagoda.This hall was built in the Yuan dynasty(1279-1368)some 700 years ago.Since the main beam is made of two logs looking like a broken beam, so that’s why we call it the Broken Beam Hall.Under the roof around the building are the bracket sets, they bear the weight of the roof and scatter the weight on to the ground through those columns, so we said the walls of the building don’t bear weight, if you move them away, the building will not fall down.All the joints of the wooden structure were connected with the traditional tenons and mortises, with out a single nail.That’s why the building has been kept so long.It is regarded as a masterpiece of classical architecture.The wooden tablet facing the south has with four big Chinese characters on it, which means “The well-known place of interest in Suzhou”.The four characters on the other one facing the north mean “containing the real and hiding the ancient.” That is, the real hill, real water, real persons and real deeds, and the ancient pagoda, ancient temple, ancient spring, and ancient tomb in the hill.The famous Sword-Testing Rock is a big oval rock.It is cleft in the middle as though by a sword.Legend has it that a couple, Ganjiang and Moye, were skillful sword-smiths.They were forced by the king to forge the sharp swords for him.The couple had quiet a few experiments and finally succeeded in forging two swords.After the king got one of them, he came here to test whether it was sharp.Down came the sword.The rock split in two, so that’s why called Sword Testing Rock
In the later dynasties, a lot of literatis and men of literature came to visit the Tiger Hill, they sighed and praised about the sword when they saw the rock.So on the stone we can still see a poem written by Gu Ying in the Yuan Dynasty, which goes “While the sword was tested, the rock was cleft, the clef fell and blocked the brook.Why, hundreds of years later, was it not used to decapitate the sinister eunuch Zhao Gao?”
The legend of the sw ord is similar to Excalibur, King Arthur’s sword.A little further on the left is the Pillow Stone, which was said to have been used for that purpose by the monk Mr.Sheng Gong.Shen Gong was a famous high ranking monk in the East Jin dynasty.He had his new Buddhist theory that those who have the sense of Buddhism would all become Buddhist.For his theory was against by other monks, he was driven out of the capital of the country, and then he traveled to everywhere.One day he came to the Tiger Hill for preaching.He rested on this stone as a pillow when he was tired.Hence the name.Here is the Thousand-Man Rock, after king was buried, his son Fu Chai, the new king, ordered to kill all the tomb-builders here to keep the tomb’ s secret.Their blood stained the rock, even now, after raining, the rock still appears reddish.In Chinese, Thousand doesn’t mean one thousand, which means a lot.The Platform for Mr.Sheng Gong, In the Jin dynasty, the famous high ranking monk Mr.Shen Gong once preached here.A lot of believers(worshipers)got here to listen to his preaching.What he preached was so excellent that all the listeners kept nodding their heads to express their approval.Even the hard rock in the pond was moved by his preaching and nodded.So today we can still see the Nodded Rock in the Pond.Two Immortal’s Pavilion, it is associated with two Taoist immortals, Lu Chunyang and Chen Tuan, they once played
Chinese chess here.The pavilion is made of stone, its roof was nicely carved from one single piece of stone in the early Qing Dynasty.Inside there are two stone tablets showing their portraits.The four big characters in red is “Tiger Hill’s Sword Pond”, this great handwriting was originally written by Yan Zhenqin, a noted calligrapher in the T ang Dynasty(618-907).After the tim e went by, two characters “Tiger Hill” fell down, and then was rewritten by Zhang Zhongyu in Qing Dynasty.So here is a saying that: real Sword Pond, pseudo Tiger Hill.Situated east of the White Lotus Pond are 53 steps, which are a neat flight of granite stone steps leading up to the main hall of Cloud-Rock Temple.These steps can be found in the Buddhist saying:” Climb53 steps to pay tribute to Buddha.” According to Buddhism, the Boy of Treasures worshipped 53 bodhisattvas as his teacher.So 53 steps can be seen sometimes near Buddhist temples in hilly area.Now we arrived at the Cloud-Rock Temple.During the culture revolution, the temple was damaged, all statues inside were destroyed, the present three statues restored later.In the middle is a statue of Sakyamuni.He was a prince of a small kingdom beside Nepal.When he saw the citizens suffering from birth and death, sickness and aging， he gave up his luxurious life and went to forest to think deeply.After 6 years meditation, he was suddenly enlightened， and then became the Buddha and the Patriarch.On the both sides in front of statue are two disciples.The younger one named Ana was his cousin.He had followed Sakyamuni for over 20 years and he had good memories.He had kept all the teachings and all instructions from Sakyamuni in his mind, recited them and copied them on the bodhi leaves after Sakyamuni passed away, which are the Buddhist sutras we can see today.The elder one was Jiashe, once
presided over a gathering in Linjiu Mountain, attended by 500 Indian monks after Sakyamuni died.There are 18 portraits of 18 arhats hang on wall.The shape of the pond below looks like a sword, so named The Sword Pond.According to the historical record, the King He Lu liked to collect the sharp swords very much.It is said, when he was buried, 3000 sharp swords were buried together with his tomb.Since then, many people in the different period of history came to this hill, tried to find his tomb to get these valuables.In 220 BC, when Qingshihuang, the First Emperor of the Qing Dynasty, unified China, he sent a lot of soldiers here to dig in the tomb, but failed.Because water gushed out from underground.In 1956, when the pagoda was getting repaired, our local government tried to open to see this tomb.After dredging and digging, they found the entrance to the tomb at the tip of the pond.Entered 10 meters, one had to turn to the left, there the workers found 4 huge piece stone plates.One was lying underground as its base, the other three piled up, like a Chinese character Pin.That a new entrance to the tomb, but they happend to be under the pagoda.They couldn’t be moved away, if they are moved away, the foundation of the pagoda will be affected.For the protection of the pagoda, the excavation couldn’t be continued.The tomb now is till a m ystery.The Tiger Hill pagoda octagonal with 7 floors, it is 47.7 meters in height, built of bricks, not a single piece of wood.Because of its foundation, the pagoda stated to learn onto the north side in the Yuan Dynasty.The tip of the pagoda is 2.34 meters away from its central line, forming a learning angle of 2.48 degree.During repairing in 1956, many valuable objects were found behind a wall on its third floor.They are a Buddhist scripture box, bronze Buddhas, bronze mirrors, etc.An inscription with the date of
construction of the pagoda was found from the bottom of the scripture box and supplied the answer to the exact date of the completion of the pagoda.It was built in 961 without controversy.In the 1980s, exactly from 1982 to 1986, the pagoda was reinforced because there were a lot of cracks appeared in the foundation of pagoda.Now the pagoda stop leaning.

第三篇：虎丘导游词
虎丘导游词
宋朝诗人苏东坡说过：到苏州不游虎丘乃憾事。

当年诗人的赞美成了今天虎丘的广告词。

到虎丘，过去有两条路，一条是我们今天走的汽车路，过去趁乘马车可抵;另一条是水路，从阊门下船，经过唐朝刺史白居易开挖的白堤七里山塘，在虎丘“海涌流辉”水码头前靠岸。

一般的寺庙都藏在深山，而虎丘却是山在寺中。

有一句打油诗就形象地点出了虎丘寺寺包山的特点：“老僧只恐山移去，日落先教锁寺门”。

现在我们来到了虎丘山门“海涌潮辉”。

这四个字点出了虎丘的来历。

虎丘原名海涌山，远古时这儿是一片枉洋，几个绿色的岛屿在潮涨潮落时隐时陷，当时称为海涌山的虎丘最矮小，却美丽，如浩淼碧波中闪烁的明珠流辉至今。

“海涌流辉”水墙门是照壁的一种，苏州拙政园旧大门前至今仍保存有巍峨古朴的水墙门，体现了水乡人家的门面和脸面。

我们知道，吴王阖闾在苏州建阖闾大城是在公元前514前。

那时的中国正是春秋时期，各小国之间战事不断。

正当我国大部份地区还处在青铜器时代，吴国因为铸铁、铸剑而出名，出现了欧治子、干将、莫邪等著名铁匠。

公元前496年，吴国对越国宣战，吴王阖闾受伤死于返程途中。

为了修建吴王阖闾墓，吴国动用了十万民工，并随葬三千把宝剑于墓中。

为了保守吴王墓的秘密，盛传吴王下葬三日之后，有一白虎蹲于海涌山上，世说为吴王霸气凝聚而成。

从那以后，便有了虎丘的称谓，至今已两千五百年。

到了公元961年，虎丘顶上建了七层八面砖塔一座。

如今虎丘塔身已经严重倾斜，偏离中心2。

34米，虎丘斜塔
日益著名，并且因为它和吴王墓扑朔迷离的关系令科学家和游客控密兴致倍增。

照理说，吴王墓建于公元前496年，虎丘塔建于公元961年，前后相差一千五百年，本不该有什么瓜葛。

但如今山上山下两个古迹却休戚相关。

它们之间有什么联系，到了虎丘山上之后我再
作出详细介绍。

[二山门]
虎丘古迹众多，除了虎丘塔之外，就要数眼前的二山门即断梁殿了。

断梁殿建于公元1338年。

它的主梁是由两根木料拼接而成，在两端设计了一排造型优美的斗拱来托住悬挑出的大梁，解决了受力的问题。

民间传说是元朝一位皇帝故意出难题，下了一道圣旨，规定只能用专门配备的材料建造，不许使用铁钉。

但苏州工匠们没有被难倒，依靠经验丰富的老匠师赛鲁班的精心建成了独具一格的殿门。

门两侧对联“塔影在波山光接屋，画船人语晓市花声”。

描述了虎丘历史上的盛况，房屋鳞次栉比，画船
来来往往，话语声、卖花的叫声组成了一幅繁华的市井图。

断梁殿上朝南匾额为曾寿于1877年书补的“大吴胜壤”。

朝北挂着由现代学者梁漱溟书横匾“含真藏古”。

这四个字出自顾恺之一千六百多年前的《虎丘序略》。

讲到虎丘，每个苏州人都可以说出许多有关的民间传说，只要去掉这些传说的神奇色彩，就可以看到苏州的历史文化及经济发展的原貌，因此，这个“古”字“真”字向我们揭示了虎丘的真实价值。

说到这儿，稍稍讲点题外话。

虎丘是苏州著名的名胜古迹，在虎丘理应保存有许多原汁原味的建筑。

但实际上，除了虎丘塔外，就是这座维修过多次的断梁殿沿可称原物，其余建筑均不到百年。

这是为什么呢？按照传统的中国人的理念，世间万物“五行”，即水、金、木、火、土构成，因而中国建筑也基于“天生五材，民并用之，废一不可“的观念，千百年来，始终将砖木结构作为中国建
筑的唯一形式，将石材拒之门外。

加上中国人”视建筑如被服舆马，时得而更换之，未尝患原物之久暂，无使其永不残破之野心“，这两点决定了中国建筑容易被毁，不易保存。

因而，我们只能说，该建筑始建于什么年代，而不能说就是那个年代。

[憨憨泉]
这是一口古井，叫憨憨泉。

憨憨是梁代一位和尚的名字。

相传他是个双目失明的孤儿，到虎丘寺当小和尚。

每天下山挑水，有一次在
这里因满地青苔滑了一咬。

他想既有青苔一定潮湿，或许就有泉眼，便用扁担在地上挖，终于找到了泉眼，并用泉水治好了眼疾。

从此取名憨憨泉。

千百年来，憨憨泉水沏虎丘白云茶一直是虎丘寺僧侍奉贵宾的佳品。

[试剑石]
这块中间裂开的巨石叫试剑石。

相传两千五百年前，吴王阖闾为了争天下，召吴国铸剑高手干将、莫邪采“五山之精华、六合之精英”，在苏州相门外开炉生火，治炼三月，始终不能达到炉火纯青的程度。

莫邪奋勇纵身火中，炉中金铁销熔，终于铸成了一对雌雄双剑。

也有说是秦始皇统一天下后寻觅吴王随葬的三千把宝剑，得到一剑后，随手向一块巨石砍去，巨石当即裂成两半。

事实上再锋利的剑也不可能劈开巨石。

试剑石是典型的火山喷出的凝灰岩久经风化后沿着裂隙形成的大缝，酷似剑劈。

但人们仍然热衷于用剑劈开的传说，吴王也乐得人们这样说。

因为，在战事频频的春秋战国年代，吴国有如此锋利之宝剑，无疑是吴国强大的见证，慑于吴国的坚兵利器，小国不战自降。

所以，这块试剑石说不定就是当年政治骗局的见证。

在试剑石旁刻有元顾瑛的诗句：
“剑试一痕秋，崖倾水断流。

如何百年后，不斩赵高头？”

第四篇：虎丘导游词
虎丘导游词
一、景区概况
虎丘，苏州人赞誉其为“吴中第一名胜”。

海拔约36米，总面积约18.9公顷，是距离苏州古城最近的风景名胜区之一。

传说，春秋时期吴王阖闾墓就葬在其中。

墓中玄机重重，甚为传奇。

虎丘林木茂密，山石灵怪，古迹遍布，四时风景宜人。

古刹名寺趺坐山中，令人更添思古悠情。

游人到苏州必游虎丘。

宋代苏东坡就曾说：“到苏州，不
游虎丘乃憾事也。

”明代文人李流芳则把虎丘景色归纳成“九宜”，即宜月、宜雪、宜雨、宜烟、宜春晓、宜夏、宜秋爽、宜落木、宜夕阳，意思说虎丘四季皆适宜游览。

虎丘景区分前山和后山，前山以人文胜迹著称，后山以自然景观取胜。

二、虎丘云岩寺大山门
大山门前横穿千年古街山塘街，虎丘即“七里山塘”的终点。

隔河可见云岩寺照壁上“海涌流辉”四个大字，这说明虎丘原名就是“海涌”。

相传，虎丘地区乃远古时期大海中的一个岛屿，随着海水潮汐涨退，若沉若浮，故而得名。

春秋时期，吴王阖闾葬于此山。

相传三日后，白虎蹲踞其墓上，因此改名为“虎丘”。

进山门抬头可见“虎阜禅寺”的门额。

为清朝时康熙皇帝的御笔亲题。

康熙皇帝曾六次巡幸虎丘，最后一次巡幸时留下了这一匾额。

三、断梁殿
断梁殿原为云岩寺的二山门，始建于唐朝。

重建于元朝至元四年（1338年）。

为三开间的木结构建筑。

因建筑正梁为两根一间半开间长度的圆木接成，代替了原来三根一开间长度的主梁，远看如同断梁，因此称为“断梁殿”。

房屋构建为框架结构，有“千年不倒断梁殿”的说法。

二山门南面悬挂着“大吴胜壤”的匾额。

意思是说“这里是吴中的名胜之地”。

北面悬挂着“含真藏古”匾额，为现代学者梁漱溟所题。

意在赞誉虎丘有真山真水的美景，又兼得人文古雅之韵。

（沿着石阶往上走，在山路的左侧，有一处泉眼，叫做“憨憨泉”。

四、憨憨泉
据说，憨憨原来是云岩寺里的一名小沙弥。

他自幼双眼失明，但仍和其他沙弥一样，天天起床下山去跳水。

一天，憨憨跳了两桶水，到了这附近时，不小心摔了一跤，两桶水都泼出来了。

憨憨坐在地上想，要是这附近有个泉眼就好了，自己也不用辛苦得下山跳水。

在恍惚间，他好像听见地下传来了车水马龙、水流不停的声音。

于是他开
始向地下开挖，希望能够挖出一眼泉水。

功夫不负有心人，终于憨憨挖到了湿漉漉的泥土。

在泉水喷射而出的一刹那，泉水喷到了憨憨的眼睛里，原来黑暗的双眼重新见到了光明。

而附近的百姓对此也万分感激。

五、试剑石
眼前巨石中开，如同刀削斧劈一般。

相传，吴王阖闾命干将莫邪夫妇铸剑。

夫妇二人采“五山之铁精、六合之精英”，在匠门外冶炼三月，终得一双雌雄宝剑。

吴王得雌剑后欲试验宝剑的锋利，于是举剑劈下，将这块巨石一劈为二。

其实，巨石为典型的火山凝灰岩，石缝是久经风化所致。

“试剑石”三字原为北宋吕升卿所写，今为僧人逸溪所补写。

石上刻有元代顾瑛一首诗：“试剑一痕秋，崖倾水断流。

如何百年后，不斩赵高头？”前两句描写了剑劈石开、崖倾水断的壮烈场面。

后面则感叹，为何这么锋利的宝剑，在百年后却不能杀了宦官赵高呢？
六、古真娘亭
眼前的古亭为一美丽女子所立。

真娘，原名胡瑞珍。

因唐代安史之乱南逃至此。

被骗流落阊门外的“乐云楼”妓院。

真娘才艺双绝，卖艺不卖身。

佳丽之名与杭州苏小小齐名。

书生王荫祥用重金贿赂鸨母，欲夜宿真娘处。

真娘不从，投缳自尽，以死守身。

王荫祥知道后大为震惊，方知看错了真娘性格。

于是厚葬真娘于虎丘，并立誓终身不娶。

自唐以来，诸多名士对此均有题咏。

七、千人石
虎丘千山最主要的景点之一。

千人石平坦如砥，广2亩。

石呈暗红色。

摩崖石刻遍布四周。

相传，吴王阖闾的墓室建成后，其子夫差害怕工匠们泄露墓室内机关，就以饮酒的名义，召集了参加筑造墓室的千余名工匠聚集在石上观看鹤舞。

趁机将所有工匠杀死。

工匠们的献血渗入石头，日久不褪。

以后每逢阴雨天，就能见到千人石呈现暗红色。

其实，千人石之所以呈现暗红色，是因为它是海底火山凝灰岩的性质，呈酸性并且含
有铁矿的缘故。

千人石得名的另外一个说法是。

相传，东晋高僧竺道生曾在千人石上聚石为徒，开讲《涅槃经》。

竺道生又称“生公”，曾是京城有名高僧，但他倡导顿悟成佛修习佛法，因此受到了佛教传统观念的抵触，被赶出京城。

竺道生云游四海后，见虎丘山景色幽静，云岩禅寺香火袅袅，于是就在这里开始传经说法。

因为他讲授的是修习佛法的新方法，因此前来听经的香客很少，于是生公就搬来各种大大小小的石头充当听众。

群石领会了他的意思，都点头。

百鸟也驻足静听。

千年白莲竟也在寒冬一齐开放。

因此有“生公说法，顽石点头”的说法。

后来，来听生公讲经的人越来越多，最多时达到了千人以上，因此后人就将这块讲经的石头称之为“千人石”或“千人坐”。

白莲池中有一块暗红色的石头刻有“点头”二字，就是源自“生公说法，顽石点头”的传说。

池边还留有“生公讲台”的摩崖石刻。

春秋时，吴国将军孙武受命于吴王阖闾，在千人石上操练由宫女组成的军队，小试兵法。

队长是吴王得两位宠姬，不听孙武号令。

几次三番嬉笑演兵场。

终被孙武斩首于军前。

从此留下了“三令五申”的典故和千人石东边的“孙武子
亭”。

八、二仙亭
二仙亭坐落在千人石北侧，得名于陈抟和吕洞宾曾在此下棋的神话传说。

石亭原为宋代建筑，清嘉庆年间重建。

全部用花岗岩石材。

石亭雕刻精细，有二龙戏珠浮雕等艺术精品。

陈抟和吕洞宾都是中国道教中的人物。

石亭外侧有一对联“昔日岳阳曾显迹，今日虎阜再留踪”。

吕洞宾云游四海时曾去过湖南的岳阳楼，现在又来到了虎丘。

石亭内侧对联写的是“梦里说梦原非梦，元里求元并是元”。

上联说的是宋代道人陈抟老祖嗜睡。

他来到二仙亭和吕洞宾下棋时，不小心睡着了。

一个上山砍柴的樵夫看见他们两人在下棋就凑过来看。

陈抟醒来后就将身边的樵夫认为是梦里的人物，就对他说：“年轻人，你可以回去了”。

樵夫捡起斧头时，发现斧头柄已经烂掉，回家一看物是人非，才知人间已经过了60年，自己碰到
的是神仙。

下联的意思是说万事只要循着事物发展的规律，就能找到事物的本真。

二仙亭内石碑刻有陈抟和吕洞宾“二仙”的神像。

九、“虎丘剑池”摩崖石刻。

苏州民间有“假虎丘，真剑池”的说法。

据说这四个字原来为唐代颜真卿所写，日久经风化，“虎丘”两字因剥落而模糊不清。

明万历四年（1576年）苏州时刻名家章钟玉补刻上去。

相对“剑池”两字的原版而言，“虎丘”两字有了假的嫌疑。

走进“别有洞天”圆洞门
剑池名字的由来有三种说法。

其一，据说因阖闾生前酷爱宝剑，下葬时“鱼肠”等名剑3000柄一起葬于墓室中，因此有“剑池”之称。

其二，据《元和郡县志》记载，秦始皇、孙权等都曾寻过阖闾墓，剑池可能是他们寻剑挖地而成。

其三，宋代有人认为，剑池是古人淬剑之池，出于自然。

明代时，剑池水曾一度干涸。

1505年，王鳌和他的学生唐寅等人来到虎丘，踏入干涸的剑池，在一个疑似墓门的洞穴前留下了“弘治乙丑侍郎王鳌来游，诸子唐寅侍从”的字迹。

1955年，景区清理剑池时，发现池底北端有一个“人”字形洞穴。

高两三米，可容一人进出。

洞底横置三块石板成品字形，一块石板垫在底部。

石板间有铁钉钉住。

由此可见，此洞明显为人工所建，极有可能为阖闾墓墓门。

1978年10月，池水再次被抽干，景区派人进入洞底。

摸到石板厚16-18厘米，但两次清淤都没有能搬动石块。

后为保护山顶倾斜的虎丘古塔，最终也没有挖掘此洞。

洞穴内究竟是什么，至今不得而知。

阖闾墓是否真在虎丘，因剑池未开挖而成为千年之谜。

“风壑云泉”四字据说为宋代大书法家米芾所写。

此人爱石成癖。

这四字将剑池幽谷生风，云锁清泉的空间环境描述得十分传神。

十、云岩寺塔
俗称“虎丘塔”。

塔八面七层，是江南现存唯一的砖结构古塔。

塔中出土的文物印证了古塔始建于五代后周显德六年（959年）。

完
成于北宋建隆二年（961年）。

古塔塔高47.7米，塔尖偏离塔基中心点为2.43米。

水平差距为48厘米。

古塔因身姿独特，被称为“中国的比萨斜塔”。

据勘测，古塔倾斜是因为塔基松软，加之苏州雨水偏多，致使古塔顺山势向后山倾斜。

文献记载，明代虎丘塔就已经明显倾斜。

明末崇祯十一年，在修葺第七层时，采用了纠偏措施，所以真题向后山倾斜的虎丘塔，塔尖趋势向前山偏的。

虎丘塔是姑苏城的象征。

古有“未进苏州城，先见虎丘塔”的说法。

为了更好地保护古城象征，苏州人民政府在1956年、1981年两次对其进行维修。

1956年采用了铁箍灌浆法。

像箍桶一样，每层塔内用铁箍绑紧，地基浇灌水泥，有效地消除了塔身的裂缝。

1981年起，耗费5年时间对塔基进行加固。

在塔基下人工打了44个孔。

灌钢筋水泥做成水泥壳体。

以起到地下放水的作用。

又更换了部分砖，有效地制止了塔身的继续倾斜。

第五篇：虎丘导游词
虎丘导游词
宋朝诗人苏东坡说过：到苏州不游虎丘乃憾事。

当年诗人的赞美成了今天虎丘的广告词。

到虎丘，过去有两条路，一条是我们今天走的汽车路，过去趁乘马车可抵;另一条是水路，从阊门下船，经过唐朝刺史白居易开挖的白堤七里山塘，在虎丘“海涌流辉”水码头前靠岸。

一般的寺庙都藏在深山，而虎丘却是山在寺中。

有一句打油诗就形象地点出了虎丘寺寺包山的特点：“老僧只恐山移去，日落先教锁寺门”。

现在我们来到了虎丘山门“海涌潮辉”。

这四个字点出了虎丘的来历。

虎丘原名海涌山，远古时这儿是一片枉洋，几个绿色的岛屿在潮涨潮落时隐时陷，当时称为海涌山的虎丘最矮小，却美丽，如浩淼碧波中闪烁的明珠流辉至今。

“海涌流辉”水墙门是照壁的一种，苏州拙政园旧大门前至今仍保存有巍峨古朴的水墙门，体现了水乡人家的门面和脸面。
