作为一个天津人，不能亲临天津的古文化街，真是一件憾事。我一直向往，但一直没有机会。国庆长假，在那里终于留下了我的足迹。
进入街道，两旁都是古色古香的文化小店，有中外闻名的“泥人张”、特色小吃“耳朵眼炸糕”，还有各种文化商品应有尽有，琳琅满目。泥人张三个金色大字，赫然入目。我急切的跨进店铺。
天津泥人张创始人名叫张明山，他从小爱好捏泥人，练就一身绝技，18岁便得“泥人张”称号。，张明山的作品《编织女工》获得了国际大奖，名扬千万。后经子孙张玉亭、张景福、张景祜、张铭、张宇五代人的传承，成为中国泥塑艺术的代表。
1949年，对泥人张采取了保护、扶持、发展的，把泥人张的传人们都安排到文艺创作、教学部门工作，更使泥人张发扬光大!泥人张的艺术创作主要取材于民间故事，或直接采用经典文学名著。
我最喜欢泥人张作品《西游记》中的人物，唐僧师徒四人的泥塑作品。孙悟空鬼灵精怪、猪八戒憨厚可爱、沙和尚不辞辛苦、唐三藏朴素善良，泥人张把他们打扮得好像真的一样，活灵活现。我在看到“泥人张”店铺内的简介，和那些栩栩如生的泥塑作品时，不由对泥人张艺术佩服的五体投地。
这次古文化街一游，不仅欣赏了泥人张的高超技艺，还了解到了悠久的文化，我依依不舍的踏上了归途。回头望去这古文化街依偎在海河的怀抱，真是美丽极了!
天津古文化街是天津仅有的两个5A级景区之一，是老天津人常去之处，不仅体现出传统的天津特色，更汇集了天津的多种手工艺、非物质文化遗产，是到天津旅游的广大游客的首选之地。
朋友们，大家好，欢迎来到天津最古老的城区之一——天津古文化街。我们将用40分钟左右的时间了解天津城的发展历史的片段，认识一些曾与天津紧密相关的历史人物，感受天津的特具特色的民俗文化。下面就请大家随我一起回忆古文化街中曾经的往事。特别需要提醒大家，保管好个人物品，注意安全。
天津古文化街中的天后宫闻名于世，它是世界三大妈祖庙之一，并且是唯一的御赐修建的妈祖庙。天津古文化街便是以天后宫为中心，逐渐聚集、发展起来的，具有天津地方特色的区域，它主要由宫南、宫北两条大街组成，全长约680米，是国家5A级旅游景区。我们今天将依次游览民俗胡同——“通庆里”，道教圣殿——“玉皇阁”，纪念著名的教育家、思想家严复的“天演广场”，以及世界三大妈祖庙之一的“天后宫”。此外，在游览的过程中，我们还会陆续看到以苏式彩画形式绘于文化街店面上的中国传统故事、民间英雄，以及吉祥图案;还会看到各色老字号、传统民间工艺、非物质文化遗产，以及天津特色的民俗民风;还可以品尝天津的特色食品和小吃。下面就请大家跟随我一同游览。
古文化街牌楼
作为天津古文化街的标志性建筑，在南北两端的入口各有一座贴金绘彩、翠顶朱楹的牌楼。眼前这座牌楼就是其中之一，体现出典型的明清特点，上写“沽上艺苑”四个大字。沽指水，古时的天津，水陆相间，素有“七十二沽”之称;天津又是曲艺之乡、曲艺的窝子，所以称为“沽上艺苑”再恰当不过。
牌楼的背面上书“金鳌”二字，取鲤鱼跳过龙门化龙之意，祝愿来到这里的人飞黄腾达，万事如意。
走过牌楼后，可以看到地面上密布十二枚铜钱，游人经过此地，取“踏金踩银”之意，祝大家生意兴隆、招财进宝。
古文化街两旁的彩绘
进入文化街，一眼望去，便觉古色古香。除了传统样式的建筑外，两边店面上的彩绘更是增色不少。这些彩绘是文化街修缮之时请了10余位苏州的画师，以中国传统故事、传统人物、以及各色花鸟为题材所创造的800余幅作品，题材丰富、内容广泛。
传统工艺“泥人张”
我国的泥人主要有这么几大种类：无锡惠山的大阿福;河北浚县的泥咕咕;天津的泥人张等。天津泥人张成名于清道光年间，后经几代人传承，在国际上屡获殊荣，是天津的著名的非物质文化遗产之一。
泥人张彩塑的题材丰富，多以传统故事、传说中的人物为素材，如《红楼梦》、《西厢记》、《三国演义》等，还有《钟馗》、《八仙》等，更有市井人物、普通百姓等。
立于泥人张店面门口的两个人物称为“和合二仙”，是泥人张店面的传统造型，喻意和谐、和睦、和气、和美、合作之意，取和气生财、共同发财之意。
通庆里
在古文化街有一条极具天津地方特色的胡同——通庆里，它始建于2年，是目前天津独具规模的、中西合璧式的四合院群落，距今有近百年的历史。它早年是天津的一大盐商卞家的宅院，既有徽派建筑的特点，又有时期建筑的特色，显示了当时的时代特征。1982年文化街改造的时候没有急于拆掉，经走访了很多专家，查了很多资料后，没有拆除，而是加以整修。
通庆里全长约60米，两头各有过街三层小楼，中间两边各建有五个、共有十个的院落。进入巷口，抬头就可以看到一个蝴蝶状的镂空木雕，寓意通达吉庆，通庆里也是由此得名。甬道地面上有多个印有 “通达吉庆”四个字的纯铜的井盖。仔细观察会发现，这四个字无论怎么念都是非常吉祥的。像“吉庆通达，通达吉庆，通吉庆达”，大家想一想为什么。
作为历史风貌建筑，通庆里被保留了下来，并得到了修缮。修缮一新的通庆里也随处显示着天津的民俗味道。通庆里东西两侧两边的壁画整修之后加上去的。首先大家看到的这两幅壁画，一幅描绘的是节庆期间民间踩高跷的热闹场面;另一幅称为“文明娶亲”，描绘初期天津民间半中半洋的迎亲场面;这幅“俏皮话”极具天津地方特色，其中之一是“猪八戒照镜子——里外不是人”，请大家再仔细看一看，还有哪些俏皮话呢?
为了最大保留原有的风貌，原有的构件沿用达到了很高的程度。中间的8个跨院所有的墙砖都是通庆里当初使用的老砖。古文化街是里弄式的建筑，很多建筑有徽派建筑的痕迹。看到二楼围栏上面十字镂空的堆砌方法，就是典型徽派建筑特点。
细看整个通庆里可以看出，胡同中的主要建筑是二层的，但是唯独东西两侧的小楼为三层过街楼。这个过街楼有很多传说，因为当初通庆里是卞家的宅院，卞家自然会选择风水之地。古文化街东临道教圣殿玉皇阁，南侧不远就是妈祖文化中心天后宫，在当时是块风水宝地。两边的过街楼喻意“把住东西”。“东西”在中国人眼里有财物之意，那么“把住东西”就是把住了钱财。还有其它衍生出来的说法，一个是起到瞭望哨的作用，因为这么大的宅户需要家丁看家护院，这个瞭望哨可以俯瞰通庆里的全巷。再有一种说法，因为通庆里当时是砖木结构，为了预防火灾，所以建设了高于通庆里的建筑。还有一种说法是三楼是供老爷纳妾续弦之用。
在通庆里的这一端画有另一组壁画。左手边的这一幅就是非常著名的《潞河督运图》，它体现的就是当时天津督运粮食的景象。画上这幅桥的位置正好是古文化街南边的东浮桥，现在叫“金汤桥”。以前之所以叫东浮桥是因为当时是一条条小船搭建起来的。在古文化街对面以前就是粮仓。南粮北调的粮食在这里会搁置一段时间再北上。对面这幅是根据杨柳青年画“黄大门”进行雕刻的。之所以叫做“黄大门”是因为在这幅年画中间有一户人家的大门，在原画中这个大门的黄色的，所以叫“黄大门”。它体现了天津腊月二十三过小年一直到正月十五过年时候的习俗。整幅画从这边腊月二十三祭灶开始，一直描绘到正月十五闹花灯的景象。通过这幅画就能了解到天津的春节期间的民俗习惯。
玉皇阁
走出通庆里，就可以看到玉皇阁。天津人称之为“玉皇阁(gǎo)”。据史料记载玉皇阁始建于明朝洪武年间，距今已有600多年的历史，是天津现存的最古老的建筑之一。初建成时，“玉皇阁”是当年天津规模最大的道教庙宇。殿内主要供奉的是在道教神系中地位仅次于三清的玉皇大帝，它是道教世界中级别最高的神明之一。但在民间的神仙世界中，玉皇大帝却是众神之王，统领三界十方，就连人间的皇帝也由它管辖，因此它也就成为了老百姓心目中的世界主宰。
玉皇阁的原建筑群落十分庞大，由旗杆、牌楼、山门、钟鼓楼、前殿、八挂亭、清虚阁、南斗楼、北斗楼以及三清殿组成。其中清虚阁是庙内的主体建筑。但到了近代，由于帝国主义的侵略，玉皇阁的建筑遭到了严重破坏，现仅存的清虚阁是玉皇阁建筑群中唯一保留下来的一座明代建筑。只是至今仍然沿用着玉皇阁的名称。
现存的清虚阁建筑在砖石垒成的台基上。台阶踏步六级，两侧设有垂带石。整个楼阁分为上、下两层。上层檐下设有木制回廊，站在廊中可凭栏远眺;殿内雕梁画栋，栩栩如生，原来安放在上层的神龛，在修缮后，改设在一层殿中。神像与人间的帝王极为相似，是人间帝王形象的再现;在玉皇大帝神像的两侧，还有两尊侍奉玉皇大帝的侍者，其中的一尊，就是“三只眼的马王爷”，它是守护玉皇大帝的。马王也叫“灵官”;楼阁的顶盖为九脊歇山顶，檐心为黄色琉璃瓦，脊、兽和檐头瓦件是绿琉璃，这种建筑做法在古代建筑中是极为少见的，是当时津城等级规格最高的木结构楼阁。
玉皇阁是当时天津卫的至高点之一，所以每逢农历九月初九重阳之日，老百姓就会登上玉皇阁，以求登高之意，祈求身体健康、步步高升。
严复和天演广场
严复是中国近代著名的思想家、翻译家和教育家。它出生在一个医生家庭，青年时期被公派到英国留学，留学期间，他对英国的社会政治发生兴趣，涉猎了大量资产阶级政治学术理论，并且尤为赞赏达尔文的进化论观点。
回国后，严复从海军界转入思想界，积极倡导西学的启蒙教育，完成了著名的《天演论》的翻译工作，以“物竞天择”、“适者生存”的生物进化理论阐发其救亡图存的观点，提倡鼓民力、开民智、新民德、自强自立、号召救亡图存，第一次把西方的古典经济学、政治学理论以及自然科学和哲学理论较为系统地引入中国，启蒙与教育了一代国人。
辛亥后，京师大学堂改名为北京大学。192019年严复受袁世凯命担任北大校长之职，这也说明严复在思想界和学术界的令人信服的显赫地位。此时严复的中西文化比较观走向成熟，开始进入自身反省阶段，趋向对传统文化的复归。他担忧中国丧失本民族的“国种特性”会“如鱼之离水而处空，如蹩跛者之挟拐以行，如短于精神者之恃鸦片为发越，此谓之失其本性，”而“失其本性未能有久存者也。”出于这样一种对中华民族前途与命运的更深一层的忧虑，严复曾经试图将北京大学的文科与经学合而为一，完全用来治旧学，“用以保持吾国四、五千载圣圣相传之纲纪彝伦道德文章于不坠。”
目前严复的故居，就在天津古文化街宫南西侧114-1乔香阁。朋友们现在看到的这尊铜像就是严复的塑像，这个小广场即是“天演广场”。下面请跟随我往南走。
途中讲解
从天演广场到天后宫广场约3分钟路程，可选择对街道两侧的彩画、老字号进行讲解。古文化街的彩画多描述传奇小说、传奇故事和传奇人物，可适当关注;老字号有“蔡氏贡掸”、“老美华鞋店”、“杨柳青年画”和“泥人张彩塑”等
天后广场
改造后的天后广场与往日有很大不同。如位于天后宫对面的戏楼，是天津最早的露天舞台，原先距离天后宫只有5米，是为了答谢妈祖的护佑而给妈祖演戏用的。该戏楼在期间被拆毁，现在我们看到的是1985年时重建的。每逢周末，某些文艺演出团体便会在这座戏楼上免费为游客表演节目，多为京剧唱段。有重大节日时还会有各种民间绝活表演，非常热闹。
此外，在天后广场上还设有多种天津小吃、民间手工艺摊位，各具特色，如吹糖人、捏面人、药糖、茶汤等，有兴趣的朋友可以一饱眼福、口福。
请朋友们仔细观察一下，天津的这座天后宫有什么特殊的地方?是的，以中国人(北半球大多如此)的建筑观念来看，建筑多是面南背北的。但面前这座天后宫却是坐西向东，为什么?因为这样的朝向使天后宫面对海河，信民不需下船就可以直接遥拜妈祖。
在天后宫前还有两根高约17米的幡杆，当初在其上高悬红灯，为海河上的船只指路引航，起到灯塔的作用，后来每逢妈祖诞辰和出皇会，幡杆上都会各悬挂24个大红灯笼，意为期盼出海的人们早日平安返航。
天后宫
看过了戏楼和幡杆，让我们一同走进天后宫。天津地方民间称天后为“娘娘”(女性神祗都被称为“娘娘”)，所以天后宫又被称作娘娘宫。它始建于元代泰定三年(1326年)，明代永乐元年(142019年)重建，是天津市区现存最古老的建筑，也是世界三大天后宫之一。史载，天后确有其人，家姓林，因生后不哭，取名“默”，宋代福建莆田湄洲岛人。她生而神异，熟习水性，常渡海救助遇险船只，27岁羽化升仙，成为人们信仰的海神。历代统治者颂扬其功德，多次加封，直至“天后”。其她在海上救人，所以渔民将她供奉为海神，以求庇护。
天后宫是一个道教场所，按道观的格局而建。最外为山门，门两侧立黄铜麒麟。麒麟被视为祥瑞之物，辟邪、祈福，人们经过他们时，总要伸手摸上一摸，以求平安吉祥，故有“摸摸麒麟头，一辈子不发愁;摸摸麒麟背，一辈子不受罪;摸摸麒麟腚，一辈子不得病”的说法，表达人们对她的喜爱和对美好生活的向往。
请游客朋友进天后宫游览，浏览时间为15分钟，然后在这里集合。
各位游客：
你们好，欢迎你们来到天津旅游，我是你们的导游。
这位是我们的司机王师傅，他驾车经验很丰富，大家可以放心乘坐。我们现在开车前往古文化街，中午12：30用餐，下午游览鼓楼商业街，晚上5点返回酒店。在接下来的游览活动中请大家多多配合我的工作，我也会给您提供最优质的服务，最后在此预祝您旅游愉快顺利。
大家注意一下，我们就快要到古文化街了，我在这先给大家简单地介绍一下。它是一条具有天津地方特色的商业街。在元代随着漕运的发展和天后宫建筑的出现，开始有人在宫的周围定居下来，慢慢就形成了街市。清代时，这里达到了空前的繁荣。古文化街以它独特的四味“中国味，天津味，古味，文化味”吸引着国内外的游客，唤起了天津居民对优秀民间文化传统的钦敬之情。
大家注意一下，现在是9：30，我们12：00准时回到车上，请大家记住，我们所乘的车是韩国大宇车，车牌号为津A T8210而且在车前窗右下方有“天津青旅”字样。好了，请大家带好贵重物品，按顺序下车。
古文化街是以天后宫为中心，分为“宫北大街”和“宫南大街”，我们现在就是在宫南大街的街口。我们一来到这里，大家就看到了这富贵气派的清代大式牌楼。同样在宫北大街的街口也有一座。他们造型精致瑰丽，不仅达到了“先声夺人”的效果，也把古文化街仿古建筑群烘托得典雅秀美，层次分明。
我们抬头看在这块匾额上写着“津门故里”四字。金代时统治北方的金人就是在这里建立了天津最早的建制——直沽寨。今日天津市区也是以这为中心，逐渐发展形成的，它对天津的形成起了很重要的作用，称作津门故里是当之无愧的了。
而北面楼匾写的是“沽上艺苑”。古文化街无论建筑风貌，店铺装修，匾额楹联，经营商品都带有浓郁的艺术气息。所以把它称作沽上的一处“艺苑”也是再恰当不过的了。另外当我们进入街上的店铺时会看到店铺门面檐下，枋间有着一幅幅清代的苏式彩画，而且每一幅都有着情节和典故，大家一会儿不妨猜一猜上面画的是什么。好下面就让我们走进这条古老的街道，来领略一下它特有的古建筑和文化特色。请大家跟紧我。
我们现在看到的就是天后宫的山门了。“先有天后宫，后有天津城。”这是天津人对城市发展通俗而生动的说法。天后宫俗称“娘娘宫”，它始建于元代泰定三年(1320xx年)，明代永乐元年重建，为天津市区现存最古老的建筑。它与福建湄州妈祖庙，中国北港朝天宫并称为世界三大天后宫。天后宫供奉的是宋代福建莆田县贤良港出生的林默。传说她自幼聪慧，15岁便精通医理为人治病，还常常渡海救助遇险的渔民;她还能观察风云变化，预测天气，被人们尊称为神女，后来加封为天妃，天后,成为人们信仰的海神。
不知大家有没有发现这个问题。在我国，寺庙一般都坐北朝南。然而，天津天后宫却是个例外：坐西朝东。这是因为当时有些船只没有时间或其他原因无法靠岸，如果天后宫就坐西朝东，面向海河，船民，商贾就可以在船上朝拜天后，祈求平安了。现在就让我们到里面去参观一下天后宫。大家跟我走。
我们从山门一进来首先看到的就是这两侧的钟鼓楼。这个是钟楼它和对面的鼓楼最初都建于元代，但后来多次被重修，可谓是历尽沧桑。我们看这个钟上铸有66只象征吉祥的仙鹤，大家可以敲一敲。敲它一声百顺，二声如意，三声安康。
我们现在所在的呢是前殿，中间这一位就是道教神中地位最高的王灵官，百姓称赞他说“三眼能观天下事，一鞭惊醒世间人”。他两侧的这四位就是天后娘娘的四位侍从，他们千里眼，顺风耳，加善和加恶。
从前殿出来，我们现在就来到了正殿。它是由三座建筑勾连搭建组成的，前面的一座为卷棚悬山顶，面阔三间，进深一间;中间的为七檩单檐庑殿顶，面阔，进深均为三间;后面接着一个凤尾殿，也是卷棚悬山顶，面阔进深均为一间。拒考证正殿不仅是天津市区最古老的建筑，它也是我国现存年代较早的天后宫建筑之一。大家看到这正中的就是天后娘娘了，她的前后左右分别是她的四位侍女，平时这里总是香火不断，很多人来朝拜天后祈求平安。
下面我们在到正殿两旁的南北配殿看一看。
这里就是南配殿。它供奉的是天津的民间神。这位是王三奶奶，据说她是个走乡串村，给人看病的巫婆，素以慈善为本，相传摸一摸王三奶奶的手可以治百病。
从天后宫里走出来，这里就宫前广场了。前面的是过去酬神演出的戏楼。在现在的宫前广场上还有象杨柳青年画，泥人张等的专卖店，那么在剩下的时间里，大家可以自由的游览，购物，一定注意安全。最后再嘱咐一句，12点之前回到车上，还是在南街的街口。好，现在大家就可以解散了。
各位朋友，这次的旅游活动就要结束了，我也要和大家说再见了。非常感谢大家对我工作的支持，对我工作中不尽如人意的地方由衷的说一声对不起，也希望您提出宝贵的意见，最后，我祝大家在今后的生活中身体健康，万事盛意。
各位老师大家好!
首先我代表我们四通旅行社的全体人员对大家的到来表示热烈的欢迎，同时也感谢大家对我们旅行社的支持和信任。我叫雕刻时光，是四通旅行社的导游员，大家叫我小刘好了。坐在前方驾驶位置上的是我们的随队司机张师傅。张师傅的驾驶经验非常丰富，相信大家在乘车的途中一定会感到既舒适又安全的。今天能担任本团的导游工作，认识这么多的教师朋友，我觉感到很荣幸，如果大家在旅途中有什么困难和要求，请您及时地提出，我将竭尽全力地为您服务。也希望大家能积极地支持和配合我的工作。在这里我预祝大家旅途愉快，能够高兴而来，满意而归。
我们今天要游览的景点是古文化街，古文化街是以天后宫为中心，具有天津地方特色的一条街，位于南开区宫南宫北大街，1985年经市整理恢复其传统风貌，命名为“古文化街”。古文化街有别于一般的商业街，在这里集中了天津乃至全国四面八方的各种工艺品、文化用品，其中以响誉国内外，具有浓厚天津地方特色的杨柳青年画，泥人张彩塑和风筝魏的风筝最有名气，整条街充满了浓郁的中国味、天津味、古味和文化味。那么古文化街到底怎样呢?还是大家亲自游览后再作评价吧。
好了，我们已经来到了景点的停车场了，请大家记住我们的车是白色的大金龙，车牌是津a2345，下午4点时车子将会在宫北大街等大家，希望大家不要迟到，请靠窗的游客把窗子锁紧，贵重的物品请随身带好，好，请大家开始下车。
首先映入眼帘的是一座帖金彩绘，翠顶株楹的仿清牌楼，高大雄伟，上面的彩画叫做旋子彩画，上书“津门故里”四字，它肯定地指出了古文化街附近一带是800年前的一处聚落，当时统治北方的金人在这里建立天津城市最在的监置――直沽寨。今日的天津就是以这一带为原始中心区域，逐渐开发拓展形成的，六、七百年间始终是天津城市商业繁华地段，对天津地区的开发起过难以估量的作用，称作津门故里是当之无愧的。
好，请大家随我一同走进这条街吧，大家注意到没有这条街的许多店铺门面檐下、枋间都有一幅幅彩画，这些都是开光清式苏画，大多是人物故事。我们来看一下集珍阁下枋间的彩画，上面画的是《三国演义》中的8幅画，有“桃园三结义”、“虎牢关三英战吕布”、“凤仪亭吕布戏貂婵”、“当阳拒曹”等，从西蜀角度着重刻画了刘备、关羽、张飞三人的忠义英勇的故事。我们在看对面梨园阁枋间，上面画的是古典戏曲名著《西湘记》，描写的是崔莺莺与张君瑞的恋爱故事。
好，现在我们转过身来看看，天后宫山门前有两棵高大旗杆，直插云宵，格外引人注目，这就是幡杆，高26米，幡杆由若干根铜糙木和铁糙木接成，外层缠麻抹灰，再涂上油漆，经冬历夏，坚固结实。据说幡杆初立时，一方面挂灯，为往来三岔河口的漕船导航，另一方面则作为天后宫的陪衬物，使整个建筑群显得错落有致，气势不凡。后来便为农历每月初一、十五进香及庙会期间专门悬挂天后封号长幡使用。
请大家继续往前走，现在我们看到的就是天后宫的主体建筑了。天津地方民间素称天后为“娘娘”，所以天后宫又被称作娘娘宫。它始建于元代，以后各朝各代均多次重修加固。大家知道我国寺庙大多坐北朝南，可是，天后宫却是坐东朝西的，这是为什么呢?因为津门三岔河是漕运中的必经之地，既是河运的起点，又是海运的终点，成为河海联运的`中转站。当时航海技术不发达，漕船经常葬身鱼腹，为满足船民、商贾及在漕运中所需要的精神寄托，祈求海神天后对航行的庇佑，就在海河西岸建起了天后宫，庙门朝东，直面海河，南来北往的船只，都抛锚停泊，进庙烧香。有些船只因没时间或某种原因无法靠岸，船民、商贾也可以在船上朝拜天后，祈求平安。这样，既满足了登岸信徒的民俗崇拜要求，也顺应了当时繁忙的航运需求，满足了无法登岸信徒的民俗崇拜要求。
我们现在看到的是山门，为砖木混合结构，九脊歇山青瓦顶，有三门，中间为圆形拱门，取意古代说法“天是圆的”，两旁为长方形便门。门额上刻有“敕见天后宫”四字，中间拱门内有“护佑三津”的匾额。天后宫初建时并无此山门，这坐山门是乾隆14年增建的。
大家随我进去，迎面为木结构的两柱一楼式的牌楼，左右两边分别是鼓楼和钟楼。走过牌楼，展现在我们面前的是前殿，殿内中间供奉的是神王灵官，两侧为“千里眼”、“顺风耳”和“加恶”、“加善”。
First of all, on behalf of the youth travel agency. My name is Lin Yuan.I'm a tour guide of CYTS. You can call me Xiao Lin.
This is our driver, Master Wang. He has rich driving experience. You canrest assured. We will drive to guwenhua street, have dinner at 12:30 noon, visitGulou commercial street in the afternoon and return to the hotel at 5 pm. In thefollowing tour activities, please cooperate with me. I will also provide youwith the best service. Finally, I wish you a happy and smooth tour.
Notice that we are going to the ancient culture street. Let me give you abrief introduction. It is a commercial street with Tianjin localcharacteristics. In the Yuan Dynasty, with the development of watertransportation and the appearance of Tianhou palace, people began to settle downaround the palace and gradually formed a market. In the Qing Dynasty, itachieved unprecedented prosperity. Ancient culture street attracts tourists athome and abroad with its unique four flavors of "Chinese flavor, Tianjin flavor,ancient flavor and cultural flavor", arousing Tianjin residents' admiration forexcellent folk cultural traditions.
Now it's 9:30 and we'll be back on time at 12:00. Please remember that thecar we took was Daewoo car of South Korea, with the license plate number of Jina t8210 and the words "Tianjin CYTS" at the bottom right of the front window.OK, please take your valuables and get off in order.
The ancient culture street is centered on Tianhou palace, which is dividedinto "Gongbei Street" and "gongnan Street". Now we are at the corner of gongnanstreet. As soon as we come here, we can see the grand archway of Qing Dynasty.There is also one at the corner of Gongbei street. They are exquisite andmagnificent in shape, which not only achieves the effect of "winning the firstplace", but also sets off the antique buildings in the ancient culture streetwith elegant beauty and distinct layers.
We looked up and saw on the plaque the four words "hometown of Tianjin". Itwas here that the Jin people who ruled the north in the Jin Dynasty establishedthe earliest Zhigu village in Tianjin. Today, Tianjin urban area is also takingthis as the center, gradually developed and formed. It plays a very importantrole in the formation of Tianjin. It is well deserved to be called the hometownof Tianjin.
The plaque on the North floor says "Gushang art garden". The ancientculture street has a strong artistic atmosphere in terms of architectural style,shop decoration, plaques, couplets and business commodities. Therefore, it isvery appropriate to call it an "art garden" in Gushang. In addition, when weenter the shops on the street, we will see that under the eaves of the shop'sfacade, there are Soviet style color paintings of the Qing Dynasty in Fangjian,and each one has plot and allusion. You may as well guess what the paintingsare. Well, let's walk into this ancient street to appreciate its unique ancientarchitecture and cultural characteristics. Please follow me closely.
What we see now is the Mountain Gate of Tianhou palace. "First there washeaven, then there was the palace, and then there was Tianjin city." This isTianjin People's popular and vivid view of urban development. Tianhou palace,commonly known as "Niangniang Palace", was built in 1326, the third year ofTAIDING in Yuan Dynasty and rebuilt in the first year of Yongle in Ming Dynasty.It is the oldest existing building in Tianjin. Together with Mazu temple inMeizhou, Fujian Province and Chaotian Palace in Beigang, Chinese Taiwan, it is known asthe world's three Queen's palace. Tianhou palace is dedicated to Lin Mo, who wasborn in xianlianggang, Putian County, Fujian Province in Song Dynasty. It issaid that she was intelligent when she was young. At the age of 15, she wasproficient in medical treatment and often crossed the sea to rescue fishermen indistress. She could also observe the changes of the wind and the clouds andpredict the weather. She was honored as a goddess, and later was granted theTitle of Princess of heaven. After that, she became the God of the sea.
I wonder if you have found this problem. In China, temples generally facesouth. However, Tiantian palace is an exception: it faces east from the West.This is because some ships at that time had no time or other reasons to dock. Ifthe Queen's palace would sit facing the Haihe River from the west to the East,the boat people and merchants would be able to worship the queen on board andpray for peace. Now let's go inside and visit Tianhou palace. Everybody followme.
As soon as we came in from the mountain gate, the first thing we saw wasthe bell and drum towers on both sides. This is the bell tower. It and theopposite drum tower were originally built in the Yuan Dynasty, but they wererebuilt many times later. It can be said that they have gone through manyvicissitudes. We see that there are 66 cranes on this clock, which symbolizegood luck. You can knock them. Knock it a hundred Shun, two Ruyi, threeAnkang.
We are now in the front hall, and the one in the middle is Wang Lingguan,the highest ranking Taoist Dharma protector. The people praised him for sayingthat "three eyes can see things in the world, and one whip can wake people up.".The four men on both sides of him were the four servants of empress Tien Hou.They had good eyes, pleasant ears, good and evil.
Once upon a time, the temple came out, and now we come to the main hall. Itis made up of three buildings.

The scenic spot we are going to visit today is the ancient culture street.The ancient culture street is a street with Tianjin local characteristics, whichis located in gongnangong North Street, Nankai District, with the location of"Tianhou Palace", one of the three Mazu temples in China. Gongnan Gongbei streetwas formed before the? D? D Tianjin was built in December 1420__. In 1985, thecity government restored its traditional style and named it "Ancient CultureStreet". For decades, Tianjin has been known as a "food street and culturalstreet". The ancient culture street is different from the general commercialstreet. It gathers all kinds of handicrafts and cultural goods from all overTianjin and even the whole country. Among them, the willow youth paintings, clayfigurine Zhang Caisu and kite Wei's kites are most famous at home and abroad.The whole street is full of strong Chinese flavor, Tianjin flavor, ancientflavor and cultural flavor.
Well, we have come to the parking lot of the scenic spot. Please rememberthat our car is white dayutong, and the license plate is Jin a1234. At 4 pm, thecar will be waiting for you in Gongbei street. Please take your valuables andget off with me.
The first thing that catches our eyes is a tall and majestic archery withgold painting and green top Zhuying. The color painting on it is called xuanzicolor painting, with the word "hometown of Jinmen" written on it. It definitelypoints out that the area near the ancient culture street was a settlement 820__years ago, where the Jin people who ruled the North established Zhigu village,the earliest supervision of Tianjin city. Today's Tianjin is formed by thegradual development of this area as the original central area. It has alwaysbeen a prosperous commercial area in Tianjin for six or seven hundred years,which has played an immeasurable role in the development of Tianjin. It is welldeserved to be called the hometown of Tianjin.
Well, please follow me into this street. You've noticed that many shops inthis street do not have colorful paintings under the eaves and in the rooms.These are Kaiguang Qing style Su paintings, most of which are character stories.Let's take a look at the color paintings of Fangjian, your excellency Jizhen. Onthe top are eight paintings from the romance of the Three Kingdoms, including"the romance of the Three Kingdoms in Taoyuan", "the battle of Lu Bu inhulaoguan", "Lu Bu playing Diaochan in fengyiting" and "refusing Cao inDangyang". On the other hand, Fangjian in Liyuan Pavilion is painted the classicopera Xixiang Ji, which describes the love story between Cui YingYing and ZhangJunrui . In addition to the Su paintings mentioned above, the buildings aredecorated with wood carvings and brick carvings. There are nearly 100 plaques inthe street, most of which are made by famous calligraphers all over the country.You can watch as you walk and savor carefully.
Well, now we have come to the square in front of the palace. The famous TinHau palace is located here. Before entering the Tin Hau palace, let's take alook at the opposite theater building. The theater building is a wooden platformbuilding. It faces west in the East, connects Haihe River in the East, and facesthe square in front of the palace in the West. There is a stage on the top and apassage below. The theater was demolished during the cultural revolution. Thetheater we see now was rebuilt in 1985. In the past, the theater was the mainplace for performing gods. Later, after the Japanese invaders occupied Tianjin,the theater stopped performing gods.
OK, now let's turn around and have a look. There are two tall flagpoles infront of the gate of tianhuangong mountain. They stick straight into Yunxiao,which is particularly eye-catching. These flagpoles are 26 meters high. Theflagpole is made of several pieces of copper and iron rough wood. The outerlayer is plastered with hemp and then painted. It is strong and strong throughwinter and summer. It is said that when the flagpole was first set up, on theone hand, it hung lights to guide the boats going to and from sanchahekou; onthe other hand, it served as a foil for Tianhou palace. Later, it was speciallyused to hang the long flag of Tianhou title during pilgrimage and temple fair.Far away from the gate of Tianhou palace is the theater building of Tianhoupalace. Theater is the earliest open-air stage in Tianjin, and also the earliestplace for people to entertain themselves.
Please go on. Now we are looking at the main building of Tianhou palace.Tianjin local folk known as "empress", so the empress palace is also known asempress palace. It was first built in the Yuan Dynasty, and was rebuilt andreinforced many times in later dynasties. As we all know, most of the temples inour country face south, but Tianhou palace faces east from the West. Why? Weknow that Tianhou is mainly to protect the safety of navigation. Facing the eastof the temple and the Haihe River, it is convenient for some boat people andmerchants. They can worship Tianhou on the boat when they have no time. Itconforms to the busy shipping demand at that time and meets the needs of thepeople who can't land It is the demand of popular worship.
Now we pass through the front hall and come to the main hall. This is theplace where tianniang is worshipped. Tianniang is a Buddhist. There are fourmaids in front of and behind. The main hall is built on a broad platform. In the27th year of Daoguang (1847), the platform foundation was replaced with somestep stones and face stones, with the inscription of "reconstruction in May ofthe 27th year of Daoguang". One stone in the southeast corner and one in thenortheast corner of the platform base is still well preserved. This hall is notonly the oldest building example in Tianjin, but also one of the earliest Mazutemples in China. We have said that empress Tin Hau can protect the safety ofships passing by, so what God is empress Tin Hau? Since she is called empressTin Hau, she must be a goddess. She is not a God made up of fantasy, but a realperson.
According to historical records, her name is Lin Mo, a native of MeizhouIsland in Putian, Fujian Province in Song Dynasty. Born in 960 A.D. and died in987 A.D. in Yongxi, Zhao Kuangyin, Taizu of the Song Dynasty, it was named LinMo because he could not cry for a period of time. Growing up on an island, shehas been accustomed to Sailing since childhood and adept at water. Then there isa beautiful legend: "can bear Xi to cross the sea, travel among the islands,people call goddess, also known as Dragon Girl". She often crossed the sea torescue fishermen in distress at sea. Unfortunately, she was killed by thetyphoon. It is also said that after his death, he appeared to help the refugeesfrom time to time, so the rich merchants on the sea paid money to build Mazutemple, and gradually became the God of the sea. At first, the legend of EmpressDowager only spread in Zhejiang and Fujian, but later it was graduallyrecognized by the government. In the Song Dynasty, she was named "lady Linghui"and "empress Linghui" successively. In the Yuan Dynasty, she was named "EmpressDowager", and in the Qing Dynasty, she was named "Empress Dowager".
Through the main hall, we came to the Sutra Pavilion. Through the SutraPavilion, what we see now is the Qisheng temple, that is, the back hall, whichwas originally used to offer sacrifices to empress dowager's parents, and laterused to store the light wooden statue of Empress Dowager during the Royalassembly. On both sides of Tianhou palace is Tianjin Folk Custom Museum, whichintroduces the rise and changes of Tianjin city, Tianhou palace and the imperialassembly. From the side witnessed the "first heaven after the palace, afterTianjin city" this statement. At the same time, it also displays the city bricksof Tianjin in the Ming Dynasty, the model people of water transport in the QingDynasty, the wedding custom exhibition and so on.
