长城是中国的象征。远看那雄伟的长城，像一条长龙在崇山峻岭之间蜿蜒盘旋，从山海关到嘉峪关，就有一万三千多里!

从北京出发，不过几十公里就能到达长城脚下。啊，长城好长好长，一眼望不到头，仿佛巨蛇躺在山岭上休息。长城是用许多条石和城砖筑成的。顶上铺着方砖，十分整齐，像一条宽宽的马路，五六匹马儿可以并排走。城墙外沿有两米多高的成排的垛子，上方有方形的望口和射口，供了望和射击用，城墙顶上，隔几百米有座城台，古时候打仗可以相互呼应!长城并不是一道单独的城墙，而是由城墙、敌楼、关城、墩堡、营城、卫所、镇城烽火台等多种防御工事所组成的完整工程体系。

如果站在长城上，很自然会想起古代修筑长城的劳动人民。单看这条石，一块就有两三千斤重。那时候工具少，只能靠无数人民的肩膀无数的手，一步一步地抬上这地形陡峭的山岭。多少劳动人民的血汗、智慧，才有这前不见首、后不见尾的万里长城啊!这么个气魄宏伟的工程，是一个伟大的奇迹!

the great wall is a symbol of china. far from the majestic wall, like a long dragon winding between mountains and mountains, from shanhaiguan to jiayuguan, there are more than 13,000!

from beijing, only a few tens of kilometers can reach the foot of the great wall. ah, the great wall is long and long, at first sight, as if the giant snake lay on the mountains to rest. the great wall is made of many stone and brick. the top was paved with square bricks, and it was as neat as a broad road, and five or six horses could walk abreast. outside walls along the rows of buttress has two meters high, above the square at the mouth and the nozzle, for observation and shooting, and on the top of the wall, a chengtai every few hundred meters - ancient war can mutual echo. the great wall is not a single wall, but a complete engineering system composed of walls, enemy buildings, guancheng, pierburg, camp city, wei place, town tower, and other fortifications.

standing on the great wall, it is natural to think of the ancient working people who built the great wall. if you look at the stone, it weighs two or three kilograms. there were few tools at that time, and it was only by the hands of countless people on the shoulders of countless people, and one by one, they lifted up the steep mountains. the blood sweat and wisdom of the working people, the great wall of the great wall, which has not been seen before, is not seen. such an ambitious project is a great miracle!

大家好，今天我就是你们的导游：季韩鹏，大家可以叫我季导。

今天我带大家游览的地方，想必大家一定都知道，它就是——闻名天下的历史文物万里长城。

万里长城是我国的重点文物，它在1987年12月被列为世界遗产名录这是中华人民共和国的骄傲，是中华人民的自豪。

远看长城，它像一条巨龙，在崇山峻岭之间蜿蜒盘旋。它东起山海关到西到嘉峪关，一共有二万一千一百九十六点一八千米长。长城在古代是一座易守难攻的伟大的工程！它兴建于秦朝，长城有一万三千多米长，据粗略的计算，长城还能绕地球一圈呢！怎么样，够惊人吧！长城是用巨大的条石和城砖筑成的。城墙顶上城墙铺着方砖，十分平整，像很宽的马路，五六匹马可以并行。城墙外沿有两米多高的成排的垛子，垛子上有方形的了望口、射口，供了望和射击用，城墙顶上每隔三百多米就有一座方形的城台，是屯兵的堡垒。打仗的时候，城台之间可以互相呼应。今天的长城虽然没有了军用价值，但是长城还是旅游胜地。长城是中华人民共和国民族的象征，是世界重要的文化遗产。

接下来我给大家讲个传说：它的名子叫孟姜女哭长城。从前，有个美丽的姑娘叫孟姜女，她和范喜良成亲之后，范喜良就被抓去修筑长城了，可是范喜良一年之后还是没有回来，孟姜女吃不下饭，睡不着觉千里迢迢来到了长城脚下。到了那里，她才知道自已的丈夫死了。孟姜女一哭就是三天三夜。她的哭声惊天动地长城被她的哭声震得足足塌了800里长。游客朋友们，这是一个多么动人的故事啊！万里长城真是凝结了千千万万劳动人民的血汗！

hello everyone, welcome to the great wall with me. my name is yue. you can call me tour guide yue. here, i hope you will pay attention to your safety, protect your finance, do not scribble, do not litter, on the road, please do not make a loud noise.

dear passengers, we have come to the foot of the great wall. do you think the great wall is like a long dragon winding between the mountains? i tell you, it has more than 13000 miles. if you want to have a look, go up and have a good look.

dear tourists, we have now ascended the great wall of badaling. it is made of huge bricks and stones. it is tall, solid and magnificent. it's also very wide. five or six horses can run in parallel. if you don't believe it, you can stretch out your hands and stand more than a dozen people. there are rows of crenels on the outer edge of the city wall. there are square lookouts and shooting ports on the crenels. in ancient times, they were used to shoot and watch the enemy's movements. every three hundred meters there is a city platform, which used to be a fortress for soldiers.

there are many stories about the great wall, such as meng jiangnu crying over the great wall. it is said that a long time ago, there was a meng family village in songjiang prefecture, jiangsu province, where an old man was good at planting gourds. this year, the gourds he planted grew very prosperous, and one of them stretched out to his neighbor jiang's yard. meng and jiang were very friendly, so they made an appointment with each other in autumn and married half of the gourd family. in autumn, it turned out to be a big gourd. meng and jiang were very happy. they picked the gourd and prepared to share it. suddenly, hearing the cries of children coming from the gourd, old man meng was very strange, so he cut the gourd with a knife. ah! there was a little girl sitting in the gourd with a red face and a round mouth, which was very popular.

the old jiang's mother-in-law saw that she was very fond of it. she picked it up and said, "give me the child!" but old meng had no children and had to fight with them for a while. in the end, we had to ask the elders of the village to cut off. the elder said, "your two families have agreed to raise half of the gourd family, so the children in the gourd should be raised by your two families." so the little girl became the apple of the eye of the two families. because the old man had no children, she lived in the meng family and was named meng jiangnu.

meng jiangnu grows up day by day. she is clever, smart and beautiful. she weaves cloth and sings songs to compete with huang ying. meng old man loves her as a treasure. on this day, meng jiangnu finished sewing and went to the back garden to relax. in the garden, the lotus is in full bloom, and the water is as blue as blue. suddenly, a pair of big butterflies fall on the lotus leaves by the side of the pool, which attracts her attention. she walks over and pours with a fan. she doesn't want to use too much force, and the fan falls into the water. meng jiangnu was very angry, so she rolled up her sleeves and searched for something. suddenly she heard something behind her. she looked back and saw that it was a young man standing under a tree, full of dust and tired.

meng jiangnu rushed to find her parents. meng laohan was very angry with the young man for entering the back garden privately. she asked, "who are you and how dare you enter my back garden privately?" the young man pleaded guilty and told the story. it turned out that the young man's name was wan xiliang. he was born in suzhou. he had studied since childhood and was full of articles. the first emperor of qin dynasty did not want to build the great wall and catch the strong men everywhere. the three men drew one and the five men drew two. the people were full of complaints. wan xiliang quickly disguised himself and escaped. just now, i went to the garden to have a rest because i was hungry and thirsty. i didn't want to disturb meng jiangnu. i told her that i was guilty again and again. meng jiangnu saw that wan xi's conscience was well written and polite, and that she was honest and honest.

old man meng sympathizes with wan xiliang, so he stays with him. meng jiangnu expresses her heart to her father. old man meng agrees with him very much, so he comes to the front hall and says to wan xiliang, "you are in exile now, and there is no fixed place. i want to recruit you as my son-in-law. what do you think?" wan xiliang leaves his seat and says, "i'm a fugitive. i'm afraid i'll implicate the young lady in the future. ”but meng jiangnu has decided not to marry xi liang, and wan xiliang finally agrees. old man meng was so happy that he couldn't close his mouth. he quickly negotiated with the jiang family to choose an auspicious day to marry them. waiting for revenge.

there is a scoundrel in mengjiazhuang. he likes to flirt with others and has nothing to do. he has come to the door many times to ask for marriage. but old man meng refuses. he has a grudge. now he hears about wan xiliang's affair, so he secretly goes to the government to tell the secret and takes the officers and soldiers to arrest people. at this time, the meng family was still in the dark. they had just been married for three days, and they were still immersed in joy. suddenly, the door was smashed open. a group of officers and soldiers rushed in and tied up wan xiliang's rope and were about to take him away. meng jiangnu rushed up and was pushed away by the officers and soldiers. she watched her husband be taken away by the officers and soldiers. since then, meng jiangnu has been thinking about her husband day and night, not tea, not rice.

in the twinkling of an eye, winter is coming, and heavy snow is coming. jiang nv wants her husband to build the great wall. it's freezing and cold. she has no clothes to keep out the cold, so she rushes to sew cotton padded clothes day and night, and sings her own little song: "the moon is very bright. meng jiangnv's husband builds the great wall. even if he goes all the way, it's a strong feeling to send his clothes." overnight, meng jiangnu made cotton padded clothes and set foot on the journey. all the way through the mountains and rivers, sleeping in the open, i don't know hunger and thirst, i don't know fatigue, day and night constantly forward, this day finally came to the foot of the great wall.

but there are tens of thousands of people under the great wall. where can i find them? she asks everyone. the kind-hearted people tell her that wan xiliang died of fatigue and was buried in the great wall to build a wall. hearing this, meng jiangnu felt like a knife in her heart. she asked the kind-hearted migrant workers to lead her to the great wall where wan xiliang was buried. sitting at the foot of the city, meng jiangnu was filled with grief and indignation: she wanted to find her husband to give her cold clothes. she had gone through all kinds of difficulties and dangers. in the end, she couldn't even find her husband's corpse. how could she not make her heart break. the more i think about it, the more i feel sad. i cry to the great wall day and night. i don't drink or eat. it's like crying blood cuckoos and looking at the moon. the cry moved the world, the white clouds stopped for it, and the birds kept silent.

i cried for three days and three nights. suddenly, i heard the roar of the mountain. the earth was shaking and the rocks were flying. the great wall collapsed 800 li, revealing wan xiliang's corpse. the great wall fell 800 li, which alerted the officers and soldiers, who reported it to the first emperor of qin. the first emperor of qin was so angry that he ordered meng jiangnu to be arrested. when meng jiangnu was arrested, the first emperor of qin saw her beauty and wanted to take her as the empress of the palace. meng jiangnu said, "if you want me to be your mother, you have to do three things first: first, build a long bridge, ten miles long and ten miles wide; second, build a grave mound on a ten mile square mountain; third, live long and wear mourning to my husband's grave." qin shihuang thought about it and agreed. in a few days, all the tombs and mounds of the long bridge had been built. wearing hemp clothes, the first emperor of qin set out in line to cross the long bridge on the great wall and come to the grave to pay a memorial ceremony. after the sacrifice, qin shihuang asked meng jiangnu to follow him back to the palace. meng jiangnu sneered and said, "you are fatuous and cruel. you have done harm to all the people in the world. now you have killed my husband. how can i be your mother? don't be paranoid!" then she took her husband's remains and jumped into the rough sea. for a moment, the tide rolling, empty hit the shore, as if for meng jiangnu lament.

well, passengers, this is the end of our tour today. i hope you have the opportunity to visit other natural landscapes in china. goodbye.
