East Palace Gate
Visitors to the summer palace usually enter the palace from the east palace gate,it is considered the front gate of the summer palace because the qing emperor guangxu's inscription the summer palace hangs over the gate.in the center of the stairs is a stone carving two dragons playing with a pearl,it was made during the reign of qing emperor qianlong(1736-1795),originally,it was put in yuan ming yuan garden and later moved here,the two bronze lions outside the gate were also made in emperor qianlong's reign,the lions were auspicious guardians to ward off evil spirits in ancient china,this gate was actually the place where the empress dowager Ci'xi's sedan chair was carried in.
Entering the Gate,you will immediately see two crowds on each side of the passage,the crowd on the left were reading the introduction of the summer palace,while,on the right hand side,another crowd were looking at a big map of the palace(standing in front of the big map and beginning introduction.)
OK,ladies and gentlemen,may I have your attention please?let's look at the map together,this is the site we are standing now,and that was the gate where we just entered,now,we are going this way to visit the hall of benevolence and longevity,it is a hall for political activities in the summer palace and that is the garden of virtuous harmony,and we are visiting along this way and we won't walk back since our driver will pick us up at the north palace gate,so we will travel along this road,I don't think you are going to get lost as long as you follow my little flag,but in case you are too carried away by the beautiful scenery,please meet us at the north palace gate at 11:15a.a,are you clear?
By the sides of the gate of benevolence and longevity is a pair of strange looking stones,these two stones resemble the two lovely figures in the fmous chinese classice novel pilgrimage to the west,the left stone is supposed to resemble the monkey king-the first disciple of the famoustang dynasty monk xuanzang:the right hand stone looks like pigsy,xuanzang's second disciple,the two disciples were said to put here to guard the palace for the emperors.
Now,a three metre high rock blocks the scene,it was transported all the way from taihu lake area in wuxi,jiangsu province.therefore,it was named taihu rock after the taihu lake.in the qing dynasty,the rock was located in prince morgan's garden in the present site of beijing university,and it was moved here later for a better view.Beijing Day Tour include this sightseeing
The monster looking bronze animal behind the taihu rock was called xuanni.in the real world,no such animals really existed,it was only an imaginery animal in chinese mytholody.just have a close look at the animal,you will find that it has a head of dragon,the antlers of a deer,the hooves of an xo,and the tail of a lion,xuanni was supposed to be one of the nine sons,which could distinguish right and wrong,loyal and disloyal.when enemies invaded,they would fall down when they touched the antlers of xuanni,moreover,it could also prevent the palace from fire.originally,there were one pair of xuanni in yuan ming yuan garden,but in 1860 when the allied anglo-french forces incaded china,one was destroyed.The Beijing Tour,one sightseeing is to visit the eastern gate.
