  Good morning, ladies and gentlemen. I’m your local guide.Adela. Today we are going to visit Da Yan Pagoda, also called The Big Wild Goose Pagoda. It is located in Qujiang Area, and in Da Cien Temple in the south of Xian. Here we arrive at the famous Buddhist spot–Da Ci’en temple and Da Yan Pagoda.

  First I will give you some introduction to this temple.

  Originally built in the Sui Dynasty, the temple was named Wulou Temple. During Tang dynasty, in order to honor the memory of his mother,Tang Emperor Gao Zong, Li Zhi , ordered a repair project on the temple and named it Da Ci’en Temple (the temple of thanksgiving). This temple was one of the largest in Chang’an in the Tang Dynasty. It was a typical Mahayana temple for the royal family. The Da Ci’en temple was destroyed in a war at the end of the Tang Dynasty. Only the pagoda was left intact. The present buildings in the temple were built successively in the Ming Dynasty. But now it covers only one seventh of the original floor area it did in the Tang Dynasty.

  Now please turn back to look at the 3 main entrance gates. In Chinese, we call it “Shan men” means mountain gate. It is because in the ancient times the Buddhist temples were usually built among the mountains.

  Walking north forwards, there are two small buildings. The one on the east side houses a bell, and the one on the west side houses a drum. The bell and drum towers are two corresponding buildings. They are the typical landmarks of a temple. The drum and the bell were used to mark time for the monks in the temple. The bell is rung in the morning and the drum is struck at dusk. The Great Hall of Buddha is on the platform in the center of the temple in front of us. Inside the great Hall, there are three incarnations of Sakyamuni, who was the founder of Buddhism . The one in the middle is called Fashen Buddha, which means an embodiment [imb?dim?nt] of truth and law. The one on the west side is called Baoshen Buddha, which means a perfect Buddha after self-cultivation, and the one on the east side is called Yingshen Buddha, which means a changeable and guiding Buddha.

  Before we move to the pagoda, let’s know something about a famous monk in Chinese history, Xuan Zang. He was both a great translator and traveler. He had spent 17 years in India to study Buddhism. And when he came back to Chang’an, he had taken back more than 600 volumes[v?lju:m] of Buddhist scriptures from India. He was indeed a great contributor the Buddhist cultural exchanges between India and china in ancient times.

  Now we come to the foot of the Da Yan Pagoda. Originally the pagoda was a five-story construction, 60 meters high. Because of the decay [dikei] of its rammed -earth and bricks, the pagoda increased to ten stories when it was under reconstruction in 704. However, the winds of war in the years to come brought the pagoda almost to ruins废墟, which in turn resulted in the construction of a seven-story structure with a height of 64 meters. This storied pagoda is an architectural marvel /wonder. It was built with layers of bricks but without any cement in between. The pagoda is characterized by its towering height, structural compactness, imposing appearance and unaffected style. It’s indeed a good reflection of people’s wisdom and talent in ancient China.

  There is also an interesting story about the name of the pagoda. According to ancient stories of Buddhists, there were two branches, for one of which eating meat was not a taboo. One day,

  they couldnt find meat to eat.Upon seeing a group of big wild goose flying by, a monk looked up at the sky and said , “Our beloved Buddha, the Great and Merciful , will give us some meat!” At that moment, the leading wild goose broke its wings and fell to the ground. All the monks were puzzled by this, and they believed that the Buddha showed his spirit to order them to be more pious. They also set up a pagoda where the wild goose fell and stopped eating meat. And called it the Wild Goose Pagoda.

  The Da Yan Pagoda that greets us today was actually modeled after its Indian style. It was given the same name in memory of Xuan zang and in praise of Buddhism. After about half a century, the pagoda at Jianfu Temple was built. The two pagodas face each other over a distance, and have different styles. Since the one in Jianfu Temple is smaller than the Wild Goose Pagoda, it is often called the Small Wild Goose Pagoda. Oppositely, this pagoda is called the Big Wild Goose Pagoda.

  Engraving autographs on the walls of the Da Yan Pagoda became the custom in the Mid-tang Dynasty. All the enrolled candidates [k?ndideit]考生who successfully passed the highest imperial examinations would first go boating on the Qu Jiang Lake and enjoy banquets in the Apricot Garden. Then they would visit the pagoda and carve their autographs on its walls. This forecast a successful career in the future. Now we can still climb the pagoda and enjoy the sight of the old capital.

  On the top you can have a bird’s view of Xi’an and also a view of the gardens around. To the north of the pagoda, there is the largest public square in Xi’an and also in China. Everyday we can see the largest music fountain playing there at a certain time.This music fountain is located in the Pagoda Square,which is one of the biggest squares in Asia.And it’s not only possesses the biggest music fountain in the world, but also surrounded by architectural imitations [imitei??n] of Tang Dynasty. It is 218 metres long from east to west, and 364 metres wide from south to north..It is not only provides citizens with leisure space, but also improves the environment and enhances the overall image of the city.

  Not far from the pagoda, we can see another beautiful garden that is the Tang Paradise. It is a cultural theme park in the Tang style of an original royal garden. And it is the largest scale of garden modeled on the Tang Style in China. And it also boasts many new records: the largest movie on water screen in the world, the first theme park of five senses sight, sound, taste, touch and smell, the biggest outdoor fragrance project in the world ad the biggest reproduction of the Tang royal garden complex in China. If you are interest in that, we can also have a visit this afternoon.

  Ok, everyone, so much for this today. We still have some free time. So next, you may look around and take some pictures. We’ll leave at 11o’clock, so please don’t be late. You know I will miss you. And I’ll stay here, if you have any question, please ask me. By the way, watch your step please! So next, it’s your turn. Enjoy yourself and thank you for listening.
