湖北省博物馆英文导游词
Good morning ladies and gentlemen
Today we will go to visit Hubei Provincial Museum On the way to the museum I d like to show a present to express my warmest welcome to you You may wonder what the present is Well let me introduce it to you The music you are going to listen to is the very gift Now please enjoy the music
Have you ever listened to the music And what musical instrument is used to play the beautiful melody
That’s the serial bells a wonder in the world Indeed a wonder in the world Every year tourists from all over the world continuously come to visit them and appreciate the programs played by it Each year they return with unforgetable memory
The building with red wall and green tiers before us is the very museum Hubei Provincial Museum Constructed in 1953 the museum is the center for collecting studying preserving and displaying historical and cultural relics in Hubei More than 700000 ancient relics are stored up in it There is a collection of 100000 books on history archaeology art etc These relics provide precious material data for studying the development of history culture art science and technology in ancient China
Situated in the middle reach of the Yangtze River Hubei has a long history and rich land As early as 2000000 years ago our ancestors lived and worked here and gradually they began to create their own civilization The relics unearthed from Zenghouyi Tomb are good proofs to the civilization The relics displayed in the museum are most from the tomb Serial bells are the most precious and greatest of them all
Are you familiar with the history of the serial bells
It is said that it is the oldest musical instrument kept in the world You see our ancestors already knew how to use music to enrich their lives so long ago
Luckily indeed our archaeologists discovered it by accident and thus displayed the marvelous ancient civilization of Chu State in front us
In 1978 a soldier discovered a large tomb when building his house It was really a great surprise to discover it at that time Afterwards archaeologists excavated these serial bells on the same spot This was appraised to be the tomb of Zenghouyi It was220 square meters 20 metros deep consisting of 4 tombs The main coffin was made up of huge internal and external coffins The man in it died at the age of 45 Those buried alive with the dead were all female aged from 13 to 25 They were in 21 coffins
Besides the serial bells more than 7000 other historical cultural relics have been unearthed such as bronze ware ancient musical instrument weapons golden ware jade ware painted ware wooden ware and bamboo ware Most of them are unique art treasure and they were deliberately made
What is especially worth mentioning is the ancient musical instrument such as serial bells stone chimes drums 25stringed plucked zither and bamboo flute They are totally 8 types including 124 pieces The entire musical instrument is placed perfectly among the bronze serial bells They make the tomb look like an ancient concert hall
Today the underground concert hall has come back to life As a major instrument 64 serial bells are put in the middle room lined along the north and west wall It can be concluded that serial bells are Zenhouyi’s favorite for his body was placed in the west room
As wee see these big bells are shaped like roundbottomed baskets small ones are like warming pots They are hung in 3 layers from the winding bell shelf that is 13 meters long 27 meters high The whole bell shelf is supported by 6 humanshape objects It is as strong as newly cast
Ok let me give you a brief introduction about the elegant ancient serial bells All the bells have been played They are all carved with inscription about musical melody Each bell can produce 2 pitches After many years of research we find that its amplitude approached the international level of today The combined scale is the 7 notes in C major of today Its compasses very side including 5 and a half octaves The whole sound may be adjusted Its wooden shelf is quite exquisite Although buried for 2400 years the serial bells are well played It not only can be used to play with to produce scores with the same melody but also can produce mixed sounds though harmony and repeat tunes Chinese musical pieces such as Intoning Three Times Before Leaving Yang Pass The Moon On The Spring River and foreign pieces such as Christmas Eve can be played on it even Beethoven’s Ode to Joy in the Ninth Symphony can be Foreign tourists are usually attracted by the fascinating music when listening to the Chinese song The Night On The Prairie When foreign songs cut in they are shocked by the old civilization of Chu State As the famous violinist Menuin praised it The grand Greek music is accepted by the world However the musical instruments in ancient Greece were made of wood what’s more not a single instrument is kept till today Here we are able to enjoy the sound of the instrument of 2000 years＼＼＼＼＼＼＼＇ history from the tomb of Chu State
Actually whoever enjoys the music played on the serial bells will be surprised at the great achievement made by the people of Chu State in the fields of music culture smelting and casting
According to the history Chu State was called the state of rites and music at that time People in Chu State love dancing They danced in the palace and sang in the room They knew how to enjoy dancing and singing We can imagine the following scene The host of the bomb was seated in his palace and watched the girls dancing On both his sides sat his followers They sat on the floor A table with short legs was placed in front of them They put one hand on the table that is used to hold arms This can be proved by the relics in the tomb
Do you know in China a male and a female mandarin ducks are the symbol of love for they often play together in the water and live together Can you see the box here This box was found in the tomb The box was painted It was empty in it But there are some pictures They describe a very vivid situation some people are striking bells beating drums and dancing This picture is very precious for we can know how these instruments should be played especially the serial bells
I wonder if you have noticed that there is only one mandarin duck on the box Do you know why Oh he is abandoned by his lover But he found a new company―music He didn’t heed the other mandarin duck for what he really loved was music
Well I have a question What is the tourists’favorite
The music played on the serial bells
