Yin Ruins Yin Ruins is at Xiaotun Village of Anyang City. In ancient times,Xiaotun was called Yin and it was the capital of the Shang Dynasty. So theperiod was also called Yin Shang. After the Yin had been overthrown, the citydeclined and the remains of it was later called the Yin Ruins. Since thefounding of new China, the Yin Ruins had been listed as the first group ofcultural relics under national protection. In order to preserve its culture, thegovernment built “Garden of the Yin Ruins” on the site. Today the garden isdivided into several sections with ancient objects on display. Because of itsgreat value in not only the historical relics of Chinese culture but also thehuman civilization of the whole world, Yin Xu topped the 100 GreatestArcheological Discoveries of China in the last century and it was listed in theWorld Cultural and Natural Heritage List of United Nations Educational,Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO). Yin Xu is revealing its beauty tothe world.
OK, everybody. Soon we’ll get to the Museum on Yin Ruins, the best museumfor the study of the Yin Shang Culture. The Yin Ruins is famous for threethings,i.e.the oracle inscriptions, the bronze wares and the ancient capital ofthe Shang Dynasty. As you know, China is one of the earliest countries todiscover characters. As early as 4,000 years ago, people used bones or tortoiseshells to record events of their social life. It is the earliest written form oflanguage in the world. Today we call them the oracle bone inscriptions, whichwere first discovered in the Yin Ruins. Well,let’s come to the main hall wherethe oracle inscriptions are exhibited. The oracle bone inscriptions were firstdiscovered during the years of Emperor GuangXu, in the Qing Dynasty. In 1899, inXiao Tun Village of Anyang City, Henan Province, villagers found many tortoiseshells and bones carved with letters and symbols, which unveiled to the worldfrom Yin Xu, an ancient city with a long history and splendid culture.Then morethan 16,000 pieces of bones and shells were found. But in the Shang Dynasty,they were used as divinations, when people were very superstitious. Theinscriptions cover a wide range of fields, such as sacrifice, wars, stateaffairs, weather, hunting, etc. Today, they provide important information forthe study of the Shang Dynasty. And the study of the oracle bone inscriptionshas become a new subject and is getting more popular among people. Since
then this place has become of great interest to worldwide archeologists,because those inscriptions have proved to be the earliest written characters ofhuman beings, the Oracles. Apart from the oracle bone inscriptions, bronze waresare another important part of the cultural relics discovered from the Ruins,which show that the technology of bronze casting reached its peak in the ShangDynasty. The bronze wares include vessels, weapons,chariots and so on. Among allthe unearthed wares, SimuwuQuadripod unearthed in the mausoleum area of the YinRuins, the largest and the most famous bronze sacrificial vessel in the world,is 875 kg in weight, 133 cm in height. Standing on the open plaza in front ofthe great hall is an enlarged copy of the original one for the convenience oftouring and appreciation, with the original one cherished in the Museum ofChinese History. With its unusual air of majesty, together with its elegance inappearance and intricately carved in patterns, it is considered a treasure inthe bronze culture of China as well as a glorious pearl shining on the peak ofthe world art. To cast such a significant vessel carrying such a great weight,advanced techniques and experiences in organization of laborers are necessary.As many scholars have pointed out, this huge bronze quadripod reflects theadvanced slavery system of the Shang Dynasty and the unusual power of creationof the people. Finally we come to the side of the imperial palaces and tombs.Lying on the southwest of the Foundation Ruins C, Fuhao Tomb is one of the mostimportant archeology discoveries in the temple. It is also the only discoveredand well-reserved tomb of Shang royal members since the science excavation ofYin Ruins. Now, let’s know something about the first woman general in Chinesehistory.FuHao was Emperor Wu Ding’s wife,both intelligent and courageous. Shehad bravely led the Yin army fighting in many wars and made great contributionsto the protecting of the country. After her death, Wu Ding built a large tombnear the palace to honor her merits. Buried together with her were many slavesand war prisoners as well assacrificial objects. The large numbers ofsacrificial objects are valuable cultural relics in the treasure house ofChinese art.
Shanghai， located at the outlet of the Yangtze River into the sea in eastChina， is a metropolis， the largest economic center and one of the four citiesunder the direct jurisdiction of the central government in China.The area ofShanghai totals 6，340 square kilometers. Shanghai has a permanent population ofmore than 13.50 million while it sees a large moving population of over 2.5million daily.
Historically speaking， Shanghai is not only a city of a long history andculture but also a heroic city with a glorious tradition in Chineserevolution.
When the western Great Powers broke through the closed gate of China withtheir gunboats during the Opium War Shanghai was forced open by the colonialistsas one of the five trading ports. With concessions carved out in Shanghai thearea was reduced to be a “pandemonium of adventurers.” Shanghai is also a heroiccity with a glorious tradition in Chinese revolution. First of all ，it is thebirthplace of the Communist Party of China. To fight for the nationalindependence and liberation the people of Shanghai waged a series of such epicstruggles as Anti-British struggle at the Wusong Estuary， Uprising of the SmallSword Society， “May 4 Movement”for new culture， “May 30th Movement，” three timesof armed struggles， “January 28”and “August 13”anti-Japanese battles inSongjiang and Shanghai. And after the War of Resistance against Japan was overthe people in Shanghai again devoted themselves to the struggles of opposingautocratic rule and civil war while fighting for democracy and freedom， forminga second battle-line in opposition to the rule of the Kuomintangreactionaries.
With the dying down of rumbling guns in battles for the liberation ofShanghai the city returned to the arms of the people on May 27，1949，and the nextday saw the People’s Government of Shanghai proclaimed to be set up ，May 28，1949being defined as the very “Day of Liberation for Shanghai.”
Shanghai is an economic city of great importance for China. Especially thedevelopment and opening of Pudong has pushed Shanghai to the strategic forefrontof reform and opening up to the outside world.

Entering the Meridian Gate, there are five marble bridges on the InnerGolden Water River, shaped like a bow. The five marble bridges just look likefive arrows reporting symbolically to heaven. The five bridges were supposed torepresent the five virtues preached by Confucius-benevolence, righteousness,rite, intelligence and fidelity.
Across the Inner Golden Water Bridge, we get to the Gate of SupremeHarmony. During the Ming and early Qing dynasties, here was the place where theemperor gave his audience, accepted documents from his ministers and madedecisions here. There are two bronze lions guarding in front of the Gate ofSupreme Harmony. The male lion was usually put on the left, playing with anembroidered design ball, which is said to show the emperor's supreme power. Theother one on the right is the female lion, playing with a lion cub with its leftpaw symbolizing prosperity of the royal family's offsprings.
Across the Gate of Supreme Harmony , we come to the Hall of SupremeHarmony. Here the emperor held grand ceremonies such as the emperor'senthronement ceremony, the wedding ceremony, dispatched generals to the battles,and the emperor received the successful candidates of the imperial examinationetc. Also, the emperor held grand feasts each year on New Year's Day, Wintersolstice and his own birthday.
The Hall of Supreme Harmony is 35.5 meters high with double layered roofthat represents the highest construction rank of all. Now, let's ascend thestairs and move on to look at articles in display on two sides of the hall. Onthe top layer of the terrace stands a sundial on the east an imperial grainmeasure on the west. The sundial is an ancient time measure or a time-measuringapparatus used in the old days. The sundial tells the time by seeing the shadowof the metal pin on the sundial, which has an inclination angle of 50 degreeswith the graduation on it. The grain measure was used as the national standardmeasure in agriculture in the old days. Both the grain measure and the sundialwere symbols of the emperor's justice and rectitude.
There are two pairs of incense burners in the shape of bronze dragon-headedtortoises and bronze cranes placed on each side. They are both symbols oflongevity.
When you look up the building in the Forbidden City, you can see mythicalanimal statues on the eaves of each building. Originally, there used to be bigwooden nails on the roof to prevent the tiles from sliding down. Later they werereplaced by glazed tiles, which were shaped into mythical animal statues forbetter beautification. They are symbols of auspiciousness and peace, and peoplebelieved that they are capable of subduing fire and warding off evilspirits.
Inside of the Hall of Supreme Harmony, you can see the gilded caissonceiling high above the throne with a magnificent sculpture of a curling dragonplaying with a huge pear was called “Xuanyuan Jing”， representing orthodoxsuccession.
This hall is supported by 72 giant columns inside. In the old days, thetraditional way of the Chinese to calculate a “room” is that: a square enclosedby four pillars was treated as one “room”， so the hall can be said to have 55“rooms” in total. The six columns inside are gilded and painted with coileddragon amidst clouds, and the rest are painted red.
The emperor's throne is placed on the dais in the center, and carved incloud and dragon patterns and gilded. On both sides of the throne are a pair ofelephant-shaped incense burners symbolize universal peace and two incenseburners shaped as a mythical animal 9,000 kilometers per day and speaking allthe languages of nearby kingdoms. Around the throne stand a pair of bronzecranes and in front of the dais is four cloisonné incense burners. The floor onthe ground is paved with “Gold Bricks”， specially made in Suzhou.
The Hall of Middle Harmony is a square-shaped hall with a single pyramidicroof standing behind the Hall of Supreme Harmony. This was the place where theemperor would take a short rest before he went to the Hall of Supreme Harmonyfor grand ceremonies. Every year before the emperor went to the Altars andTemples, the emperor would receive and read the sacrificial address here.
Before the emperor went to the Altar of Agriculture for offering thesacrifice, the seeds intended for spring sowing and the ploughs were examinedhere, just to show the concern of the emperor for agriculture.
According to the rule, the imperial genealogy should be revised every tenyears. The ceremony of presenting the genealogy to the emperor for revision andapproval would also be held here.
Now, we come to the Hall of Preserving Harmony, the last of the three fronthalls.
In the Ming and Qing dynasties, on each New Year's Eve and the 15th day ofthe lunar moth, banquets would be held to entertain the civil and militaryofficials and the princes and envoys of the Mongolian nobles and othernationalities.
