西安碑林

Good morning, Ladies and gentlemen. Today we are going to visit the treasure house of ancient calligraphy and stone carving art of China, the Museum of Forest of Stone Tablets, which is located at the site of Confucian temple in SanXue Street,

Xi’an. This museum was set up in 1087 and it collected more than 3000 stone tablets from the Han dynasty through the Qing dynasty. The whole area consists of 3 parts: Confucian temple, exhibition of stone tablets and stone carvings.//总述

Here we can see this museum is very beautiful because it used the tradition Chinese courtyard style. So compared with other places, this museum is always quite peaceful and very silence. Now I’d like to take this temple as an example to talk a little bit about Confucian, the great philosopher, educationist, politician in feudal society. And he was highly respected by Chinese. In order to show the respect for him, all the Confucian temple have no gate facing south, as this one showing only the gate open to the east and west what we called the gate of righteousness and courtesy respectively. //简介孔子

Ok, now this way please. Inside this museum, we can see a wooden Memorial arch standing here; its Chinese name is “PaiLou”.

This Bell is unique in 3 aspects: first: it has exquisitely carving with phoenix and dragons.

Now we are going to visit 7 major stone tablet exhibition rooms. In front of the first exhibition room, we can see the stone-base Classic of Filial piety which is the largest and earliest one in this museum. It stands about 6 meters high and was made up of 35 pieces of blue stones. It was engraved in 745AD and annotated by

LiLongJi(the 7th emperor of Tang dynasty). He wrote the preface to show his wish to manage the country by advocating the principles of Filial piety.//石台孝经

In the first room, let’s see the most completed and h eaviest books in the world “The KaiCheng stone Classics” which was the doctrine of the Confucius and “must readings” for all the intellectuals in feudal society. In the past, copying was the popular way for students who study the doctrines. To prevent copying errors, emperor
