Good morning!Ladies and Gentlemen：

Today we will go and visit the Yuelu Academy!Yuelu Academy is one of the four famous academies in China, and it was established by Zhudong, magistrate of Tanzhou prefecture in 976A.D at the time of Northern Song Dynasty.The academy accepted disciples throughout the Song, Yuan, Ming and Qing Dynasties.It was only in 1903 that the academy was transformed from a school of traditional Confucian learning to an insitute of higher learning and in 1926 it was officially named Hunan University.Early in 1015, Emperor Zhen Zong of the Song Dynasty awarded the academy hid Majesty’s own handwriting “Yuelu Academy” on a tablet.Form then on many famous scholars and great thinkers gave lectures here, among them were Zhangshi, Zhuxi and WangYangming, thus making a great impact on the province’s culture and education.Most of the existing buildings here were constructions of the Ming and Qing Dynasties, and the bulk of the engraved stone plates and inscribed tablets have all been kept intact, In 1956 the academy was listed as a historical site at the provincial level and later, in 1988 it became a historical site at the state level.The last restoration project started in 1981 and the major part was completed in 1987.Now, here we are at the “He Xi platform”, “He Xi” means the “the splendour of the sunrise”, It was named by Zhuxi, a great idealist philosopher of the Confucian school during the Song Dynasty, The platform was first built on the top of Yuelu hill, by Zhanshi, and later in 1528, a pavilion was built on it, But it became deserted with the passing time.In 1790 Luodian, the master of the academy, built a platform at the present site, In 1820, the succeeding master, Ouyang Houjun, renamed it “He Xi platform” in order to memory Zhuxi and Zhanshi.It was restored in 1868.On the inner walls of the platform are two big Chinese characters “Fu” and “Shuo”, which mean “blessing” and “longevity” respectively.Legend has it that the Character “Shuo ”was written with a broom soaked in yellow mud by a Taoist master at the time Master Luodian was attending a banquet in honour of the examination officials and those dispels who had passed the civil exam Hence it has been regarded as having “celestial touch” The character “Fu” was written by Luodian, the master himself.This gate in front of us is the Main Gate, the gate was formerly built at the time of the Song Dynasty, and was then called “Central Gate”.The main gate underwent both destruction and reconstruction in the course of time.The present structure was once thoroughly renovated in 1868.The characters “Yuelu Academy” on the horizontal tablet were inscribed by Emperor Zhen Zong of the Song Dynasty.It was presented as an award to Zhoushi, the master of the academy, when he was summoned to the emperor’s presence.On both door posts are couplets which read “The kingdom of Chu, unique home of the talents, The Academy of Yuelu, the very cradle of all ”.It was composed in the Qing Dynasty by the master of the academy, Yuan Jiangang and his disciple Zhang Renjie.

This gate was the Second Gate, It was first built in 1527 during the Ming Dynasty.It underwent repairs and restoration many times.It was completely devastated during the Anti-Japanese War.In 1984, the gate was restored to its former state.This is the Lecture Hall, where the students had lessons here, it was first built at the time of the Song Dynasty and was once named “Jing Yi Hall”.Now, it has a more elaborate name “The Hall of the Loyalty, Filiality Honesty and Integrity”, because on the inner walls of the hall are engraved four big Chinese Characters:“ loyalty, filiality, honesty and integrity.They were handwriting by the great scholar, Zhuxi, who once lectured here.Others, such as the School Regulations, the Administrations and Way to Read were masterpieces of the masters of the academy.On the two horizontal tablets hanging on top were written:

“Learn before you can probe the infiniteness of the universe.”

“The doctrines taught here in the south are genuine Confucian doctrines.”

They were inscribed by the emperor Kangxi and Qianlong respectively during the Qing Dynasty.The building in front of us is the Yushu Library, “yushu” literally means “imperial books”, so Yushu Library ,built in 999A.D in the early Song Dynasty, was a place to keep imperial books.Books were continuously sent here during the succeeding dynasties.The library was first named “Classics Treasuring House” in the Song Dynasty, “Classic Venerating House” in the Yuan and Ming Dynasties, and finally “Yushu Library” in the Qing Dynasty,.It had been repaired and expanded many times, and now it has a collection of over twenty thousand Chinese classics.This building was rebuilt on its original site in 1986.The two small pavilions Xi Quan and Ni Lan , built during the Song and Ming Dynasties, were restored to the right and left of the compound galleries in order to display cultural relics.

第五篇：岳麓書院

岳麓書院導游詞

各位朋友：大家好！歡迎大家來到千年學府——岳麓書院參觀游覽，很高興能作為大家此次游覽的導游！

我們現在所處的這個位置呢就是岳麓書院的大門了，請大家抬頭看一下，有一塊“千年學府”的匾。為什么岳麓書院有千年學府之稱呢？原來啊岳麓書院從潭州太守朱洞創建于宋太祖開寶九年，也就是公元976年，距今啊已經有一千多年的歷史了。所以有千年學府之稱，岳麓書院它與江西白鹿洞書院、河南嵩陽書院及睢陽書院并稱為中國古代四大書院。好了。接下來就讓我們一起去感受一下這一千年學府的濃厚的文化氣息吧！

大家現在看到的就是岳麓書院的平面圖了。大家可以發現岳麓書院的古建筑在布局上所采用的是中軸對稱、縱深多進的古院落形式，其中講堂呢是位于中軸線的中心，也是整個書院的中心位置。書院的建筑主要有三個部分的功能：講學、藏書和祭祀。

我們現在所站的地方就是赫曦臺了。赫曦臺呀就是古時候酬神演戲的舞臺。當年，朱熹應理學大師張拭的邀請來岳麓書院講學的時候，常常很早就爬到岳麓山頂去看日出，每當看到日出呢就高聲拍手歡呼：“赫曦、赫曦?！币馑寄厥羌t紅的太陽升起來了，后來張拭修了一個臺，取名“赫曦臺”。

沿著中軸線我們就來到了岳麓書院的大門了。請大家抬頭看一下大門上面“岳麓書院”這一塊匾，這是北宋第二個皇帝宋真宗御賜的，其原匾在抗日戰爭中被日機所炸毀，現在我們所看到的是1984年按照照片所復制的。現在大家在看向兩邊的對聯：“惟楚有才，于斯為盛。”上聯“惟楚有才”呢是出自與《左轉》。下聯“于斯為盛”出自與《論語》。那么這一副對聯也道出了岳麓書院作為天下最輝煌的英才薈萃之地的歷史事實。

我們現在來到了講堂。講堂是講學的中心場所，當年朱熹在岳麓書院講學的時候在這里寫了“忠孝廉節”四個大字，所以啊又稱“忠孝廉節堂”。講堂內共有三塊匾，分別是“實事求是”、“學達性天”和“道南正脈”。

首先我們來看第一塊匾：“實事求是”是民國初期湖南工專校長賓步程先生所撰寫的。毛澤東青年時曾寓居學院的半學齋，“實事求是”對他的思想形成產生了重大的影響，在后來的革命實踐中，他豐富和發展了“實事求是”的內涵，使“實事求是”成為毛澤東思想的精髓。

大家再看第二塊匾：“學達性天”，這是康熙皇帝御賜的?！皩W達性天”是一種理學思想。這里的“性”指的是人性，“天”是指天道，程朱理學認為，人的善良本性是天道所賦，教育的目的是要恢復人的天命之性，達到天人合一的境界。皇帝所賜匾，意在勉勵學子張揚理學，加強自身的修養，同時告訴人們在這里求學，可以獲得德性修養，達到天人合一的學問的最高境界。

最里面的這塊“道南正脈”匾是乾隆皇帝為了表彰岳麓書院在傳播理學方面的功績所賜的，其意思是岳麓書院所傳播的朱張湖湘學是理學向南傳播后的正統。匾為原物，這里的“道”指的就是理學。說了這么多，大家可能會問，什么是理學呢？理學就是儒家學說發展到了宋代的一種稱法。理學的開山鼻祖是我們湖南籍的一位叫周敦頤的老先生，而發展壯大理學思想的則是著名的程頤、程顥hào兩兄弟。

大家再往下看，講堂的正中是一個高約1米的長方形講堂，這是以前老師講課的地方，上面擺著兩把椅子是為了紀念張栻shì和朱熹這兩位大師而設的。當年兩位會講的時候，盛況空前，從全國各地趕來聽講的人數達數千，可見當時朱、張兩人名聲之大。想想看，歷史上多少名人如曾國藩、左宗棠、王夫之、魏源等等，當年他們就是坐在這底下聽老師講課的。

下面我們將參觀書院做為藏書功能的部分—御書樓。這是書院里藏書的地方，相當于我們現在的圖書館，我們今天的游覽也將要結束了，經過今天的參觀，相信大家對岳麓書院這一千年學府的歷史和文化已經有了一個大致的了解。謝謝大家！
