麗江古城導遊詞
各位遊客朋友們大家好，歡迎大家來到麗江古城參觀遊覽。我是您此行的導遊員。 Good morning, my dear friends, welcome to Lijiang ancient town. I am your tourist guide.
麗江古城坐落在玉龍雪山下麗江壩子的中部，因四周青山環繞，城中碧水瀅瀅，宛如一方碧玉大硯而取名為“大研鎮”。古城始建於南宋後期，距今約有800年的歷史了，歷代均為滇西北的政治、軍事重鎮。
Lijiang ancient town is located on the foot of the Yulong snow mountain and in the middle of Lijiang basin. It is surrounded by green hills and filled with blue lakes, just likes a huge jade ink stone, which is “yan” in Chinese the pronunciation. So it was named “Dayan Town”. With long history of 800 years, the ancient town was originally built in the late Southern Song Dynasty and had the important political and military status in history.
細心的'朋友也許已經發現，麗江古城是一座沒有城牆的古城，這是為什麼呢？這是因為麗江世襲統治者姓木，築牆勢必如木字加框而成“困”字，所以木氏土司因忌諱而不設城牆。 My dear friends, maybe you have found that Lijiang ancient town has not the wall around it. Do you know why? Because the family name of the hereditary rulers in Lijiang was Chinese character “MU”. If the wall around the town was built and the rulers’ family lived in, it would like the Chinese character MU changing to the “KUN” with the meaning of being trapped. Because of this taboo, the wall was not built.
古城佈局以三山為屏、一水相連，以水為脈，順勢自然。玉河水在這裏分為西河、中河和東河，河水在古城裏再分成更多的支流，走街過巷，穿牆進屋，形成家家流水，處處小橋的景觀。被譽為是“高原姑蘇”和“東方的威尼斯”。古城街道佈局中“經絡”設置和“曲、幽、窄、達”的風格、錯落有致的設計藝術在中國現存古城中是極為罕見的，於1997年被聯合國教科文組織列入世界文化遺產名錄。
The town is defended by three mountains and different parts of the town are linked by Yu Rivers. It is naturally laid out. The Yu River consists of West River, Middle River and East River. The rivers go through the streets, alleys and flow along the houses, forming more tributaries. The scenery of the small bridges over the flowing streams is known as “the Gu Su city on the plateau” and “Venice in the east”. The layout of body channels, the style of “winding, deep, narrow and convenient” and well-arranged design are rarely reserved in Chinese ancient town. It had been listed as the world culture heritage by the UNESCO in 1997.
説話間，我們就到了古城門口了，請大家隨我一起進去參觀遊覽吧！（也可以不要）
Ok, we are at the gate of the ancient town. Please follow me to visit in the town.

It is said there is a fairyland beneath the colorful clouds of southern China. A place blessed with fresh air, clear streams, breathtaking snow-capped mountains, and an undisturbed landscape inhabited by a friendly group of people. Life in this fairyland is so peaceful, a fairyland called Lijiang, located at the hub of Tibet, Yunnan and Sichuan provinces.
While the geographical position of Lijiang City is remote, it has the advantage of ensuring a pleasant year round climate and a wide variety of tourist resources in the 20,600 square kilometers area. The earliest recorded history of Lijiang can be traced back to the Warring States Period (476 BC-221 BC) but with the advent of the Tang Dynasty (618-907), the local economy reached a peak with the development of the Ancient Tea-Horse Road which made a great contribution to both commercial and cultural communication between Tibet, Sichuan and Yunnan provinces.
At present, Lijiang City is an attractive tourist destination in Yunnan Province that exercises jurisdiction over four counties and an Old Town District. Lijiang is the main region inhabited by Naxi Group, one of China's 55 minority ethnic groups. In its long history, the local residents have established their splendid Dongba Culture which has absorbed aspects of the culture of Tibet and the Central Plains along the middle and lower reaches of the Yellow River. The various souvenirs marked with these Dongba hieroglyphs are very popular with visitors from home and abroad.
Lijiang has the best preserved ancient town in China - the Old Town which has been listed in the World Cultural Heritages by UNESCO in 1997. The Old Town was once the center of Lijiang and continues to maintain the original flavor of the local lifestyle, the typical groups of buildings and the profound cultural heritage of the region. When wandering along Square Street or any other streets in the Old Town, you will be struck by the peaceful surroundings. From enjoying the sight of the setting sun from historic hotels to local farmsteads, there are many favorable things here for travelers. Naturally, there are a number of tour destinations to enhance your visit as well. Among them, the most famous is Mufu (Mu's Palace) which should not be missed during your trip.
Around Lijiang, there are a number of splendid natural beauty spots that will certainly astonish you. If you like to see superlative natural scenery, Jade Dragon Snow Mountain which provides a majestic backdrop to the Moon-Embracing Pavilion at Black Dragon Pond will fulfill your desire. For those seeking an exotic experience in Lijiang, a visit to the Mosuo People beside Lugu Lake is a must. They are called the last 'Kingdom of Women' on earth. If you would like to experience the local lifestyle, then come and participate in one or more of their various festivals that are held throughout the year.
Lijiang does not have a direct rail link and is reached by travelers by air or by coach. However, having got to Lijiang, visiting round and about is easy with the help of the city buses, taxis or for the more energetic by bicycle. However, please don't forget to save some time to walk in Lijiang. Along your way, you must visit some of the souvenir shops and taste some local dishes and snacks. At night, the famous bar street in the Old Town is really worth a visit. No matter where you go, you will find a harmonious combination of tradition and fashion in Lijiang City.
The smart and unsophisticated Naxi people who have long inhabited Lijiang preserve the unique and profuse Dongba Culture. In fact, a great number of scholars and travelers are attracted to this mysterious place more for the culture than its charming sceneries.
Dongba Culture is of a religious nature and make up the most important component of the ancient Naxi culture.
However, before the form of the Dongba Culture, the Naxi people in Lijiang followed the native religion of sorcery. During the Tang (618-907) and Song (960-1279) dynasties, a series of the other cultures, such as the Tibetan Bon Religion, Buddhism and Taoism, were introduced into this region, affecting the native religion. Along with the impact and blending among these various cultures, the new Dongba Religion was founded. The Dongba Culture is said to been passed on by the Dongbas who were sages that
integrated song, dance, the classics, history, painting and medicine. They enjoyed a high social position within the Naxi group because they were considered as mediums between humans, gods and ghosts, as well as are able to remove disasters and guarantee good fortunes. At present, there are no more than 30 Dongbas living in Lijiang, so it is a memorable experience for travelers to visit these Dongbas.
Dongba Characters
The immense Dongba Culture consists of its writings, scriptures, paintings, dance and music. Amongst them, the Dongba characters are not surprisingly the soul of the Dongba Culture. Enjoying a history of over 1,000 years, it is still used by a few Naxi people even
now. At first, the Dongba character was just a kind of hieroglyphic recorded on wood and stone. Later, with the use of paper, the use of characters gained popularity and gained its formal name. As a rare cultural treasure for all mankind, the Dongba character is the only existing hieroglyphic in China and praised to be the 'Living Fossil' showing the characters' origin and development of human society.
Dongba Scriptures
All Dongba scriptures were written in the picture-like characters, so they are not
interpretable by ordinary folk. However, under the help of the Dongbas, some scriptures were translated into Mandarin and shown to readers at the end of the last century. These scriptures contain almost all aspects of the Naxi people, ranging from the nation's legends and history to traditional dancing and music. Now, these Dongba scriptures are kept in many countries other than China, such as the United States of America, Canada, Japan, Britain, France, Germany and Austria.
Dongba Paintings
Traditionally, the exquisite and colorful Dongba paintings completely reveal the beliefs and good wishes of the Naxi people. Some of them are drawn to depict the daily lives of locals. The most famous Dongba painting is the Painting of Sacred Road to Heaven which is approximately 14 meters long and 0.26 meters wide. This painting tells the story of how the dying man's soul is released from suffering. Vivid scenes describe how he passes into Hell, the human world, the natural heaven and finally Heaven. Nowadays, local artisans have created a series of modern Dongba paintings that retain the essence of those from more traditional times.
Dongba Dance and Music
The same to the other minorities, dance and music play vital roles in the Naxi people's daily life. The classical Naxi dance is the Dongba dance which is a kind of religious dance being played in the sacrifice events. However, most of these dancing show the locals' fight against the natural world and the forces of evil. There are about 60 kinds of dance
recorded in two Dongba scriptures, including animal dance, sword and bow dance as well as the God dance. In fact, most of dance movements prefer to imitate animals, such as tiger, elephant, frog, monkey and eagle.
In the sacrifice events of Dongba Religion, the dance is usually accompanied with the Dongba music (also the Naxi Ancient Music). The content of these music is mainly derived from the scriptures and widely singing by the Naxi people. The used instruments include ring, drum, gong and cymbal, producing simple but impressive rhythm. Fortunately, when
come to Lijiang, traveler can enjoy the Dongba dance and music shows in the Dongba Palace and Naxi Concert ang is a beautiful shining jewel on the Northwest Yunnan Plateau neighboring the southeast side of the Tibetan Plateau which is considered to be the "Roof of the World". It is impressive because of its scenery and lush vegetation.
Lijiang boasts of breath-taking wonderful sights such as Jade Dragon Snow Mountain and its modern maritime glacier, the only one of its kind in the southern end of the Northern Hemisphere; Tiger Leaping Gorge; the world - famous grand canyon; Lugu Lake, the cultural cradle of the "Matriarchy" of the Yongning Mosuo people in Ninglang. Lijiang Town is officially called "Dayan Town"—— "Dayan" literally means a "great inkstab", a graphic description of the town’s location on a piece of rich flatland fed by a river and surrounded by green mountains. There is no other town in China like Dayan which incorporates the folkways of so many people and the architectural styles of both north and south China.
The people of Naxi, while developing their land of snow-clad mountains and turbulent rivers since ancient times, have to their credit the "Dong Ba Culture" seen as one of the world wonders, a culture all-embracing while unique.
All these natural sceneries and these cultural treasures of the minority peoples have been continuously drawing tourists from all over the world and have recently vote Lijiang as one of the favorite destinations in China. Notes:
1. Lijiang 麗江
2. Roof of the World 世界屋脊
3. Jade Dragon Snow Mountain 玉龍雪山
4. Tiger-leaping Gorge 虎跳峽
5. Lugu Lake 瀘沽湖
6. Dayan Town 大研鎮
