Fromyour smiling faces, I know that you may have sweet dreams last night, right? Ok,I have some news even exciti ng, that is, today we’re going to visit the LongmenGrottoes, which you have been expecting for a long time.So now let me give you a general introduction first. Around 13 km south ofLuoyang, there are two picturesque hills confronting each other with the YiRiver flowing northward between them, connected by an arched stone bridgeresembling a natural gate tower. This is the right place named Longmen, wherethe well-known Longmen Grottoes is located.The grottoes, which earn the fame of one of the Three Treasure Houses ofStone Sculpture in China, were created over 1500 years age. The Longmen Grottoeswas first known in theyear 493 AD, when Emperor Xiaowen moved his capital toLuoyang from Datong, Shannxi Province, which marked the initiation ofdevelopment and expanse of Buddhism in Central China. It prolongs for 1000meters from north to south. According to the statistics conducted in recentyears, there are 2300 caves and niches with over 100000 Buddhist figures. Inaddition, more than 2800 tablet inscriptions and some 40 Buddhist pagodas werepreserved in or out of the caves.Now, we’ve got to the grottoes. Please get off the bus. Here is the QianxiTemple. It was built in the early Tang Dynasty around 640 AD. It has altogether7 Buddhist statues inside, of which, Buddha Amitabha is sitting in the centralwith 2 of his favorite disciples, 2 Bodhisattvas, and 2 Heavenly Kings.Please come with me. Now we are in front of the Bin yang Caves. The Binyang Caves consist 3 large caves, the North, the Middle and the South caves. TheMid and the South Bin yang Caves were built under Emperor Xuanwu for practicingthe merits and virtues for his diseased parents, late Emperor Xiaowen and lateEmpress Dowager(遗孀) Wenzhao in 500 AD. While the North Bin yang cave was addedfor the late Emperor Xuanwu by a eunuch(太监) in the palace named Liu Tang in508AD.In the West Hill of Longmen, there are several “the most” caves to feastyour eyes. Just now, we visited the Ten-thousand Buddha Cave with 15000 Buddhistimages, which has the most Buddha images, and the Lotus Cave with 2cm-highBuddha images, which are the tiniest Buddha images.And now, we’ve come to another “most”, the Fengxian Temple. So whathighlights can we see here? I’ll show you. One day in 655AD, Empress Dowager WuZetian cried in the palace. Emperor Gaozong asked her why she was so unhappy.She said:“Do you think I am beautiful?” the Emperor answered: “Of course, youare the most beautiful lady under heaven!” the Empress said: “but sooner oflater I would be ugly. Beauty cannot last long.” The Emperor Gaozong at oncemade the best artist in the palace paint a beautiful portrait of Empress Wu. Butshe still cried, she said: “the portrait is beautiful, but after hundreds ofyears, it will rot and disappear.” The Emperor Gaozong suddenly saw the light.He issued an edict(法令) that a stone statue must be carved at once. Hearing thisedict, Empress Wu was so pleased that she donated 20000 strings(串) of cash coinsfor her cosmetics(化妆品) and also attended the consecration(献祭仪式) of the chiefBuddha when the construction was thoroughly completed in order to shorten thetime of the project.

篇一：洛阳龙门石窟英文导游词Good morning ladies and gentlemen, may I have your attention please? From your smiling faces, I know that you may have sweet dreams last night, right? Ok, I have some news even exciting, that is, today we’re going to visit the Longmen Grottoes, which you have been expecting for a long time.So now let me give you a general introduction first. Around 13 km south of Luoyang, there are two picturesque hills confronting each other with the Yi River flowing northward between them, connected by an arched stone bridge resembling a natural gate tower. This is the right place named Longmen, where the well-known Longmen Grottoes is located.The grottoes, which earn the fame of one of the Three Treasure Houses of Stone Sculpture in China, were created over 1500 years age. The Longmen Grottoes was first known in the year 493 AD, when Emperor Xiaowen moved his capital to Luoyang from Datong, Shannxi Province, which marked the initiation of development and expanse of Buddhism in Central China. It prolongs for 1000 meters from north to south. According to the statistics conducted in recent years, there are 2300 caves and niches with over 100000 Buddhist figures. In addition, more than 2800 tablet inscriptions and some 40 Buddhist pagodas were preserved in or out of the caves.Now, we’ve got to the grottoes. Please get off the bus. Here is the Qianxi Temple. It was built in the early Tang Dynasty around 640 AD. It has altogether 7 Buddhist statues inside, of which, Buddha Amitabha is sitting in the central with 2 of his favorite disciples, 2 Bodhisattvas, and 2 Heavenly Kings.Please come with me. Now we are in front of the Bin yang Caves. The Bin yang Caves consist 3 large caves, the North, the Middle and the South caves. The Mid and the South Bin yang Caves were built under Emperor Xuanwu for practicing the merits and virtues for his diseased parents, late Emperor Xiaowen and late Empress Dowager(遗孀) Wenzhao in 500 AD. While the North Bin yang cave was added for the late Emperor Xuanwu by a eunuch（太监） in the palace named Liu Tang in 508AD.In the Wes t Hill of Longmen, there are several “the most” caves to feast your eyes. Just now, we visited the Ten-thousand Buddha Cave with 15000 Buddhist images, which has the most Buddha images, and the Lotus Cave with 2cm-high Buddha images, which are the tiniest Buddha images.And now, we’ve come to another “most”, the Fengxian Temple. So what highlights can we see here? I’ll show you. One day in 655AD, Empress Dowager Wu Zetian cried in the palace. Emperor Gaozong asked her why she was so unhappy. She said: “Do you think I am beautiful?” the Emperor answered: “Of course, you are the most beautiful lady under heaven!” the Empress said: “but sooner of later I would be ugly. Beauty cannot last long.” The Emperor Gaozong at once made the best artist in the palace paint a beautiful portrait of Empress Wu. But she still cried, she said: “the portrait is beautiful, but after hundreds of years, it will rot and disappear.” The Emperor Gaozong suddenly saw the light. He issued an edict（法令） thata stone statue must be carved at once. Hearing this edict, Empress Wu was so pleased that she donated 20000 strings（串）of cash coins for her cosmetics（化妆品） and also attended the consecration（献祭仪式）of the chief Buddha when the construction was thoroughly completed in order to shorten the time of the project. So the main Buddha Losana was carved according to Empress Wu’s appearance.That is the legend. Now we see, the Buddha Losana is 17.14m high with its head 4m, each ear 1.9m, and flanked by 2 symmetrical disciples, Bodhisattvas, Heavenly Kings, and Great Men of Strength on both sides. The chief Buddha gives you an impression of dignified manner, magnificent looking, wise, farsighted and kind nature. Looking around the overall arrangement, we would rather say that the Fengxian Temple is a scene of a grand imperial court than a spot of Buddhism. Generally speaking, the Fengxian Temple is the most magnificent and artistic among all the shrines of the Tang Dynasty and as well as an example of success in integrating politics with Buddhism in ancient China.Ok everyone, now you can take photos here. Or you can ask questions that you don’t understand. After 15 minutes we will gather right here. See you then.篇二：洛阳龙门石窟英文导游词Welcome to Longmen Grottoes．They are located in the south of Luoyang City．They are between Mount Xiang and Mount Longmen and face Yi River．Longmen Grottoes，Yungang Caves and Mogao Caves are regarded as the three most famous treasure houses of stone inscriptions in China．The grottoes were started around the year 494 when Emperor Xiaowen of the Northern Wei Dynasty (386-534 A.D.) moved thecapital to Luoyang．Work on them continued for another 400 years until the Northern Song Dynasty (960-1127 A.D.)．The first caves of Longmen were excavated in 494，the 12th year of the Northern Wei Dynasty Xiaowen Emperor's reign．The grottoes extend for some 1,000 meters (about 1,094 yards) from north to south．They contain over 2,300 holes and niches，2,800 steles，40 stupas，1,300 caves and 97,000 sculptured figures that have survived the test of time．Most of these works date from the Northern Wei Dynasty and the flourishing age of the Tang Dynasty (618-907 A.D.)．Lots of historical materials concerning art, music, religion, calligraphy, medicine, costume and architecture are stored in the Longmen Grottoes．Fengxian TempleFengxian Temple was built in the Tang Dynasty and it is the largest grotto in Longmen Grottoes with a width of 36 meters (about 118 feet) and a length of 41 meters (about 136 feet)．There are nine major figures of various facial appearances and temperaments in the temple that were built in accordance with Buddhist rites by the artists．The most impressive figure is the statue of Vairocana Buddha sitting cross-legged on the eight-square lotus throne．It is 17.14 metres (about 56 feet) high；the head alone is four meters (about 1 3 feet) high，and the ears are nearly 2 meters (about 6 feet) long．Vairocana means illuminating all things in the sutra．The Buddha has a well-filled figure，a sacred and kindly expression and an elegant smile．According to the record on the epigraph，the Empress Wu Zetian together with her subjects took part in the ceremony of Introducing the Light (a Buddhist blessing that the Buddha opens the spiritual light of himself and shares it with others)．At the sides of Vairocana there are two statues of VairocanaBuddha’s disciples，Kasyapa and Ananda，wearing prudent and devout expressions.

The walls are adorned with thousands of Buddhist statues,bas-reliefs, and intricate carvings, ranging from diminutive figures to towering giants, each one a masterpiece of craftsmanship.One of the highlights of my visit is the Binyang Cave, a vast grotto that houses a remarkable 17-meter-tall Buddha figure flanked by two bodhisattvas and a host of celestial attendants. The sheer scale and intricacy of the carvings leave me in awe, and I can't help but wonder at the dedication and perseverance of the artists who created such magnificent works.As I explore further, I come across the Fengxian Temple, a stunning architectural marvel that dates back to the Northern Wei Dynasty. This imposing structure, with its intricate carvings and towering pagodas, serves as a reminder of the rich cultural tapestry that has woven through the history of this region.Throughout my journey, I'm struck by the harmonious blend of art, religion, and nature that permeates the Longmen Grottoes. The limestone cliffs provide a natural canvas for the ancient artisans, while the carvings and sculptures seem to emerge organically from the rock, as if they were always meant to be there.But the Longmen Grottoes are more than just a collection of ancient sculptures and carvings. They are a living testament tothe resilience of human creativity and the enduring power of faith.

This ancient wonder is not just a relic of the past, but a living reminder of the enduring human spirit, a source of inspiration for generations to come.篇3The Longmen Grottoes: A Breathtaking Journey Through Ancient Buddhist ArtAs a student of history and art, I've always been fascinated by the rich cultural heritage of China. Among the countless wonders that this vast country has to offer, the Longmen Grottoes stand out as a true gem – a testament to the artistic and spiritual prowess of ancient Chinese civilization. During my recent visit to this UNESCO World Heritage Site, I was utterlyawestruck by the sheer scale and beauty of these ancient Buddhist rock carvings, carved into the limestone cliffs along the Yi River.Situated near the city of Luoyang in Henan Province, the Longmen Grottoes date back to the Northern Wei Dynasty (493-534 CE), when Buddhism flourished in China. Over the course of several centuries, an astonishing array of Buddhist statues, stupas, and relief carvings were painstakingly carved into the cliffs, creating a breathtaking display of religious art that has withstood the test of time.As I approached the site, I was immediately struck by the sheer enormity of the cliffs, stretching for over a kilometer along the river's banks. It was hard to fathom the amount of labor and devotion that must have gone into creating such a vast and intricate work of art. The grottoes are divided into two main sections: the Fengxian Temple area and the Guyang Cave area, each offering its own unique wonders.The Fengxian Temple area is home to some of the most impressive and iconic carvings, including the towering Buddha statue that stands over 17 meters tall. Carved into the cliffs during the Tang Dynasty (618-907 CE), this colossal figure is a true marvel of ancient craftsmanship. As I stood before it,dwarfed by its sheer size and intricate details, I couldn't help but feel a sense of reverence and awe.Another highlight of the Fengxian Temple area is the Bingyang Middle Cave, which houses a breathtaking array of Buddhist statues and relief carvings. As I wandered through the dimly lit chambers, I was surrounded by intricate depictions of bodhisattvas, celestial beings, and Buddhist deities, each one a masterpiece of precision and artistry. The attention to detail in these carvings was truly astonishing, with every fold of clothing, every facial expression, and every gesture。
