游苏州寒山寺美篇【经典20篇】

现在我们所在的位置是寒山寺的主庭园，左侧的花坛两面嵌长条石刻两块，一为明代崇帧年间刻的“寒拾遗踪”;另一刻清末江苏巡抚程德全写的“妙利宗风”。

现在我们来到了大雄宝殿。大雄宝殿两侧沿墙分列十八罗汉坐像，都是明代的铁铸金罗汉，是从山西五台山擎来的。寒山寺大雄宝殿的特色在于殿的后面。一般寺院中右侧木架上挂一口钟，左侧木架上放鼓，体现出家人晨钟暮鼓的修炼生活，但这里右侧悬挂着的钟，与众不同，这就是我在车上提到的日本铜钟。

特别值得一看的是背后正中墙上的寒山、拾得石刻像，为清代扬州八怪之一罗聘所画。他俩“状如贫子，又似疯狂”，寒山手指指地，笑口微开，似在讲：“吾俩菩萨转世，天机不可泄漏，你知，我知，天知地知。”拾得则袒胸笑颜，更逗人喜爱。

出大雄宝殿，左通普明宝塔和方丈室，右达名闻遐迩的听“夜半钟声”的钟楼，正前方的两层屋宇是藏经楼。远望屋顶，可见唐僧、孙悟空等西天取经塑像群。

讲解到此结束。愿寒山寺的悠久文化历史、迷人的钟声传播友情，给各位带来福音。谢谢大家

各位旅客朋友们，欢迎你们来到寒山寺。

寒山寺始建于公元5xx年，也就是梁代天监年间，至今已有一千多年的历史。寒山寺原名“妙利普明塔园”由于历经元、明、清三朝的火烧，我们此刻看到的是19xx年作后保存下来的遗迹，当然苏州市政府近年大力地整修之下才得到了这天涣然一新的外貌。到那里，有游客可能会问：“寒山寺的寒山在哪里?寒山寺很冷吗?”让我来为你解答吧1其实寒山寺并非因山而得名，而是因人得名。在唐代，有两为僧人，一个叫寒山，一个叫拾得。尤其是寒山，他是唐朝诗僧，着有《寒山子诗集》，后人为了纪念寒山，将此寺改名为寒山寺。

另外大家必须想明白，苏州名胜古迹众多，为什么惟独寒山寺尤其名扬中外呢?原因有三：第一，源于一首诗，大家可能明白，当时唐代有位诗人叫张继，他是湖北襄樊人，进京赶考，却名落孙山。他情绪郁闷，归途中渔船夜泊枫桥，枫桥，也就是靠寒山寺西边的一座桥，大家请随我指的方向看。他听见了寒山寺钟发出的“咚咚‘声，一下子使他受益匪浅，想通了许多，心想;我今年落榜，下一次我必须能够东山再起，救灾灵感顿开的状况下，写下了千古名诗《枫桥夜泊》“月落乌啼霜满天，江枫渔火对愁眠。姑苏城外寒山寺，夜半钟声到客船。”直至今日，在千里之外的日本，有不少年幼的孩子都耳熟能详。

第二，佛门弟子一向认为，曾住持过此寺的寒山、拾得分别为文殊、普贤两位菩萨的化身。

第三，就是寒山寺的那口钟。也就是张继诗中所提到的钟。明代时，流入日本。之后。有个叫山田寒山的日本人在搜寻未果的状况下，便募捐了一对青铜钟，一口赠予中国寒山寺，一口留日本馆山寺。在中日民间文化交流和友好往来失史册中，写下了完美的一页。

第四，据说寒山寺钟声具有很奇特的功能，能够用十二个来概括“闻钟声，烦恼清，指挥长，菩提生。”

也许你望见朝西的大门，你必须、会产生疑问，不妨在再次让我为你们解答吧!至于原因呢/也有三：

其一，因地制宜，门朝西，西边就是运河，各地而来的善男信女坐船来此烧香，交通方便了不少。

其二，向西意味着通往西方极乐世界，表现了对西方佛教胜地的崇敬。

其三，水能克火。

以上我为大家具体讲解了一下寒山寺的历史，请大家先在此回味一下，顺便能够休息、拍照。片刻后，我们将回进入下一个景点——天王殿。

游客们，大家好，这天我们游览的景点就是寒山寺。寒山寺位于城西枫桥镇，当时名叫"妙利普明塔院"，唐朝时才叫寒山寺，建于公元508至520xx年的梁代天监年间。寒山寺并非因山得名，而是因人得名。唐代时，寒山、拾得两位高僧到此，后人为纪念寒山，改寺名为寒山寺。寒山确有其人，是唐朝诗僧，著有《寒山子诗集》留世。寒山寺自唐代以来一向名扬中外，魅力无穷，寻本探源，有这样几个原因：

第一，佛门弟子一向认为，曾住持过此寺的唐代和尚寒山、拾得，分别是文殊、普贤两位菩萨转世的高僧，并把他们神化为我国的和合二仙，成为人们喜闻乐见的神仙。民间传说，拾得和尚乘了寒山寺里的一口钟，飘洋过海到过日本一个名叫萨堤的地方，传播佛学和中国文化。这个故事曾以连环画的艺术形式在日本的1989年第4期《中国医报》杂志上登载，题为《寒山寺钟声》，更使寒山寺多了个娓娓动听的中日友好话题。

第二，唐代诗人张继的《枫桥夜泊》诗，使它家喻户晓。"月落鸟啼霜满天，江枫渔火对愁眠;姑苏城外寒山寺，夜半钟声到客船。"这些传世佳句，起到了文因景传，景因文名，钟声诗韵，名扬百世的效果。该诗不但在我国流传极广，而且很早就传到了一衣带水的东邻日本，因此，清代著名学者俞樾在《重修寒山寺记》一文中说过："其国三尺之童无不能诵是诗者。"到这天它仍被编人日本校园教科书中。在东南亚、欧美，这些诗句也很受青睐。

第三，寒山寺的钟声不但有悠久的文化历史内涵，还有奇妙的功能，这功能用12个字能够概括二"闻钟声，烦恼清，智慧长，菩提生。"菩提，在梵文(即印度古代文字)中意为"觉悟""大彻大悟"。所以旅游者都要亲自聆听寒山寺的钟声。

第四，民间相传，张继诗中涉及的钟，历经沧桑，在明末流入日本。清末，日本山田寒山先生便四处探寻，欲将此钟归还原主，但终无下落，便募捐集资，铸一对青铜钟，一送寒山寺，一留日本馆山寺。在中日民间文化交流和友好往来史册中，写下了完美的一页。

唐代诗人张继当年进京考试名落孙山，归途中夜泊枫桥，正是听了夜半寒山寺钟声的启迪，灵感顿开，写下了枫桥夜泊这首千古绝唱，在中国文学史上占了引人注目的一席。也正是寒山寺钟声使他消了烦恼，继续寒窗苦读，之后再次赴京城应试，结果中了进士。总之，苏州寒山寺的钟声能安抚心神，启迪思维，寄托完美期望。此刻我们就要进入寒山寺景区了。

寒山寺景区拥有"古寺、古桥、古关、古镇、古运河"供游人游览。古寺，指寒山寺。古关，指大运河和上塘河交汇处的铁铃关，建于公元1557年，为明代抗击倭寇的关隘，城楼雄伟。古桥，指寒山寺西侧大运河上的江村桥和枫桥，诗人张继名句"江枫渔火对愁眠"中的江枫，就指这两座桥。古镇，就是寒山寺所在的枫桥镇，粉墙黛瓦的民居，鳞次栉比的商店、茶馆、书场，一派姑苏水乡风光。古运河，指寒山寺旁的京杭大运河。大运河从北京到杭州全长1794公里，是公元605至620xx年间隋炀帝时开凿的。大运河促进了南北物资和文化交流，也给苏州的经济带来了繁荣。

各位朋友，前面金碧辉煌、宏伟庄重的宝塔就是寒山寺的普明塔。寒山寺的布局与众不同：一反寺庙普遍朝南的惯例，它的庙门是朝西的。为什么呢?请大家思考一下。此刻我们下车取道寒山别院去寒山寺。

寒山别院是个不可多得的好去处。它终年绿满视野，苍松、翠竹、桂花、樱花、腊梅、草坪与落月池、映月亭、愁眠坡、寒山桥、听钟坪、觅诗廊等景物交相映辉。在一小匠上，有座雅致的松茂亭，内立一块依照我国革命先驱、中国共产党的创始人之一的李大钊手书《枫桥夜泊》诗碑。李大钊同志的这件墨宝写于1920xx年，原件珍藏于中国革命博物馆，于1993年立碑于此，为寒山寺景区增添了光彩。寒山寺内还珍藏着宋代的、明代的、清代的、民国年间的以及现代文人学者写的枫桥夜泊诗碑。

寒山寺山门就要到了。前面的那座石拱圈古桥就是江村桥，桥堍与山门之间那垛黄墙称照壁，墙上"寒山寺"三个大字为浙江东湖名土陶浚宣所写，古朴苍劲。推荐大家在此留影。

请看，寒山寺的山门，即大门，是朝西的。说起这门的朝向，有它的来历。苏州孔庙里有块刻于1220xx年的苏州地图，名叫《平江图》，因为宋代苏州称为平江府，图上的寒山寺庙门就已经是朝西的了。另外，《寒山寺志》也明文写到："寺院呈长方形，四周培垣峻起，山门西向。"为何朝西?德高望重的寒山寺老方丈性空法师曾指点迷津，说过四个字："因地制宜"。隋代开的大运河，至唐宋之际日益繁忙;苏州是水乡，庙门朝西靠河边，便于飘过的商贾、船民、农民、信徒乘船来此朝拜进香。再者，人们熟知唐玄类西天取经的故事，西是佛祖居住地，西方又称极乐世界，光明圣洁，无一切烦恼，庙门朝西也表示崇敬向往佛国圣地，一举两得，何乐而不为!另外，按照五行学说，水能克火。历代寺僧以大运河的水来克火，所以历史上寒山寺曾太平了几百年。

然而，和尚的苦心仍逃不脱人间灾难。元未遭战火;明代两次火灾;清代也是两次，其中一次是战火，烧毁了这座古寺。此刻的寒山寺是清光绪三十二年，即1920xx年重建的。

山门两旁两棵古樟，郁郁葱葱。黄墙内古典楼阁飞檐翘角，右为枫江楼，左为霜钟楼，都源于枫桥夜泊诗。迎着山门坐在佛龛中的那尊金装佛像是弥勒佛，笑容可掬，袒胸露腹，笑迎客从四方来。他是佛祖释迦牟尼的接班人，所以也叫未来佛。在有的佛寺中，如苏州的灵岩山寺，天王殿内的弥勒像衣冠端正，面容庄重，正襟危坐，那是弥勒的真身。而许多佛寺中供奉的喜笑欢乐的弥勒，乃是弥勒的化身。他的塑像两旁常配的楹联是：

"大肚能容容天下难容之事，慈颜常笑笑世间可笑之人。"

此刻再看佛龛背后一尊威风凛凛的将军像，面朝里，对着大雄宝殿，手拿金刚杵，也叫降魔杵，那是韦驮，位居四大天王手下的三十二神将之首。为何韦驮要面向大雄宝殿呢?据说古印度佛寺内的大雄宝殿，为佛祖灵堂，宝殿前是安放释迦牟尼舍利塔，即灵骨塔的。有个"捷疾鬼"偷走了佛的两颗牙齿。韦驮神通广大，能行走如飞，他飞驶抓贼，夺回佛牙。之后，他就担负起守卫佛祖舍利塔的重任，所以在寺庙中他总面向内。我国佛教协会会长赵朴初先生著文说过：佛教是中国文化的一部分，要吸取佛教文化精华，发扬"人间佛教"精神，为两个礼貌建设服务。他还说："人间佛教"重在净自己的身心，重在有利有益于社会人群。如僧人植树造林，行医施药，劝人从善等不胜枚举。

请向前走。那里是寒山寺的主庭园，树木葱茏，可谓清静佛地。左侧的花坛两面嵌长条石刻两块，一为明代崇帧年间刻的"寒拾遗踪";另一刻清末江苏巡抚程德全写的"妙利宗风"。八个遒劲漂亮的大字，简明扼要地点出了寒山寺1480多年来的历史;梁代初建时叫妙利普明塔院，唐代时高僧寒山。拾得从天台山来此当家，称寒山寺。

我们先参观罗汉堂。那里五百尊罗汉，都是香樟木雕成的镀金罗汉，是清代雍正年间的文物。五百罗汉就是释迹牟尼的五百弟子。罗汉能到达这样三个境界：一、不受生死轮回之苦;二、不贪，无烦恼，永久进入涅盘状态;三、受天人供养。

在罗汉堂中央矗立着一尊观音铜像，高2.5米，重1.5吨，是由日本宗教画院、日本禅宗画家协会赠送的，于1995年落成。

参观大雄宝殿前，请在花岗岩铺地的露台上欣赏三件东西。一是露台的栏杆，均用汉白玉雕成，刻以莲花等花纹饰物。二是铁香炉，炉上"大化陶熔"四字，是何含意?"大化"意为"佛的教化"。"陶"比喻造就、培养。"熔"可作熔铸金属或浇制成器具时用的模型解。综合四字，就是：按佛教教义规范培养信徒，使顽者归化，脱胎换骨。暗示佛的神通广大。三是大殿前的一对石柱，称露盘，是和尚就餐前放饭盛水，以供所谓饿鬼食用的器具。

那里是大雄宝殿。"大雄"指的是释迦牟尼，意为像大勇士一样，一切无畏。宝殿正中坐在莲花上的就是佛教创始人释迦牟尼，他曾在古印度的深山老林里苦修六年，最后在菩提树下得道成佛。他胸前的金色"卍"符号，唐代武则天把它读作"万"，意为"万德吉祥"。在有的佛寺中，也有写成"卐"的，能够通用。

佛祖左边站立的眉毛雪白的长者名叫迦叶，佛祖右边站立的年轻者叫阿难，他们是如来的得力弟子。佛祖逝世后，迦叶在灵鹫山主持了佛教信徒第一次集会;阿难是佛祖的堂弟，聪明智慧，擅长记忆，跟随佛祖20xx年，把佛祖生前的话语写在贝叶树的叶子上，成为佛经。1920xx年，康有为参拜寒山寺，写了一副"真经书贝叶，法果证菩提"的对联，概括了佛教历史，现珍藏在寒山寺枫江楼里，成为寒山寺重要文物之一。

大雄宝殿两侧沿墙分列十八罗汉坐像，都是明代的铁铸金罗汉，是从山西五台山擎来的。寒山寺大雄宝殿的特色在于殿的后面。一般寺院中右侧木架上挂一口钟，左侧木架上放鼓，体现出家人晨钟暮鼓的修炼生活，但那里右侧悬挂着的钟，与众不同，这就是我在车上提到的日本铜钟。该钟全名为：仿唐青铜乳头钟。钟上的铭文全是汉字，为1920xx年的日本首相伊藤博文所写。

所谓晨钟暮鼓，乃是古时唐代一种计时方式：早晨敲钟，一天开始;晚间击鼓，一天劳作结束。寺庙持续古风，迎接早晨敲钟，晚上击鼓结束一天佛事，也称功课。

钟右边墙嵌有清代佛教居士大鹤山人郑文焯画的指画"丰干像"。丰干和尚是寒山、拾得的师父。但也有人认为这幅刻像是寒山。墙上还许多书条石，刻有历代诗人咏寒山寺的诗数十首。

个性值得一看的是背后正中墙上的寒山、拾得石刻像，为清代扬州八怪之一罗聘所画。他俩"状如贫子，又似疯狂"，寒山手指指地，笑口微开，似在讲："吾俩菩萨转世，天机不可泄漏，你知，我知，天知地知。"拾得则袒胸笑颜，更逗人喜爱。石碑上方刻有诗篇，其中两句为："我若欢颜少烦恼，世间烦恼变欢颜。"全篇资料都是劝人变烦恼为欢喜，这样呢。国家能欢喜，君臣能欢喜，夫妻合家能欢喜。很有哲理。似乎我们出来旅游就是遵照寒山拾得的意图办事，不是都期望旅游愉快吗?

出大雄宝殿，左通普明宝塔和方丈室，右达名闻遐迩的听"夜半钟声"的钟楼，正前方的两层屋宇是藏经楼。远望屋顶，可见唐僧、孙悟空等西天取经塑像群。

我们先登塔观光。寒山寺始建时就有塔，所以名叫妙利普明塔院，后毁于战火。北宋重建宝塔，元代末年又毁，后近630年来寒山寺无塔，造塔一向是寺僧的心愿。此塔历时3年多，于1995年秋建成，1996年10月30日举行隆重开光典礼。塔为仿唐木结构楼阁式塔，五层，呈正方形，高42.2米，镀金的铜塔刹重12吨，高9.6米，金山灿烂，塔四周挂有108个风铃，塔内各层都有木梯供信徒和游人登临。登上宝塔，东望苏州古城，南看苏州新区和大运河，可见北面的虎丘山和西面的狮子山，吴中美景几乎尽收眼底。塔院四周建有回廊，漫涉其间可观赏古代名人书写的《枫桥夜泊》诗碑。

藏经楼到了。楼上秘藏珍贵佛经。赵朴初先生题写书名的《苏州佛教文化》巨著，图文并茂，其中有两页专门介绍了寒山寺藏经楼。楼上佛堂金碧辉煌，佛像庄严，两旁巨型朱红漆经柜整齐排列，内藏许多经书和佛教著作。

楼下叫"寒拾殿"，门上方这三个字的匾额是赵朴初会长所写。那里供奉着状如和合二仙、真人大小的木质全身寒山、拾得雕像，敞襟袒胸，相视面笑，栩栩如生。寒山手持荷花，拾得捧着方棱圆口净瓶，一"荷"一"瓶"，取其谐音"和""平"，意为和和气气，平平安安，百年好合。旧时举行婚礼时，喜堂内高挂和合神像，以图和气好合的好口彩和好气氛。也有在家里厅堂内常年悬挂的。清代雍正皇帝敕封寒山为"和圣"，拾得为"合圣"。所以和合二仙就是寒山拾得。

寒拾殿后墙的背面立一巨碑，刻着千手千眼观音、韦驮和关公等人物，刀法细腻，形象生动。两壁墙上嵌书条数十方，上刻《金刚经》及诗词文章。殿内文化艺术气氛极浓厚。

著名的钟楼就在寒拾殿旁，游人常在楼上撞钟。楼上悬挂的铁钟外径达120厘米，铸于清光绪三十二年，即1920xx年。1979年12月31日除夕夜，苏州举办首届除夕寒山寺听钟声活动，108声钟声就来自那里。至1998年除夕，已连续举办20届，年年成功，20个除夕共有两万多海内外游人来到这座钟楼下聆听夜半钟声。

是夜，枫桥古镇灯火辉煌，敲锣打鼓，黄墙内外，宫灯齐明;江村桥畔，铁铃关下，龙舞狮跃，剧曲杂技，各显神通。茶馆书场，各式店铺，顾客盈门。庙内殿堂，点烛焚香，诵经拜佛，木鱼声声，钟鼓齐鸣，吸引四海游人一睹为快。11点42分10秒，方丈在此钟楼上敲响第一声钟，此时万籁俱寂，人人心诚听梵音!人们被中华古老文化所倾倒。当第108记钟声撞响时，正好是新年元旦零点，刹那间爆竹声声，乐曲锣鼓齐鸣。苏州市长年年在此致新年贺词，把听钟声活动推向了又一个高潮。寒山寺除夕听钟声活动已成为我国旅游界开拓最早、从未间断、影响深远、效益良好的特殊旅游项目。

那么，寒山寺的夜半钟声为何敲108下呢?

首先，这一习俗在唐代十分盛行。之后，随着中日文化交流，此风俗在日本流传至今。民间盛传：人生一年中有108个烦恼，登寒山寺钟楼撞钟，或聆听钟声，便能消除一年的烦恼，逢凶化吉。又说，人一生有108种烦恼，听了佛寺108下钟声就能去掉所有烦恼，年年吉祥如意。

还有一种说法是：一年12个月，24个节气，72个候。古代称五天为一候，按农历360天计，一年分为72候，把12、24、72相加，得108，既可代表一年，又贴合108种烦恼之数。因此，若除夕听钟声108声，既能解除新的一年中烦恼，又能消除人生108种烦恼，真是大吉大利。好，请登楼撞钟。也请各位除夕夜来听钟声。

寒山寺的碑廊是非看不可的。沿钟楼下的走廊、小道前行，即达碑廊、弘法堂和枫江楼庭园。自古至今，寺中《枫桥夜泊》诗碑到底有几块呢?答案是：一诗六碑千古留芳。

寒山寺的唐朝张继诗碑，始于北宋翰林学士、珣国公王珪(1019～1085年)，早已失传。令人欣慰的是，由于苏州佛教界、文化界的刻意恢复，四处寻觅王珪墨宝，我国台湾博斯年图书馆无偿惠赠三千余字的王珪手迹资料--王珪写的一块宋碑的拓片。然后，依王珪之原字或字体，苏州碑刻博物馆于1996年重刻了王珪书写的《枫桥夜泊》诗碑。现立于塔旁。

第二块碑为明代诗、书、画"三绝"的巨匠文征明所写，因寺失火，已成残碑，虽留下不到十字，但笔迹流畅秀劲。现展示于碑廊墙内。

第三块碑保存完好，为清代俞樾所书，碑之拓片流传甚广，极为公众称颂。陈列在碑廊。

第四块碑为民国年间的国史馆馆长、与张继同名同姓的河北沧州人张继所书，不幸的是他于1947年12月14日书写，第二天便猝然逝世。这块堪称绝笔的诗碑保存较好，近年才陈列在普明塔院内。这位沧州张继先生手书的《枫桥夜泊》诗原件，保存在中国台湾中国国民党中央史馆。海峡两岸汪辜会谈时，话及情谊，多次提及这一墨迹，成为佳话。真是：古今两张继，往事越干年，同赞寒山寺，游人皆称奇。

第五块碑，就是1993年刻成，立在寒山别院内松亭中的李大钊先生写的诗碑。刚才我们已先睹为快。

第六块碑立在碑廊墙内，为大画家刘海粟86岁时所写，1995年春揭幕，也是盛事一桩。

《枫桥夜泊》诗碑千年来均出自名人之手，是寒山寺悠久文化历史的反映，加上佛教文化，说明文化是它名扬天下的根本。至此，能够这样说：诗碑书法异彩纷呈，四海游人大饱眼福。

碑廊内与俞樾手书的碑相对而立的是康有为1920xx年在寒山寺题诗之碑，诗曰："钟声已渡海云东，冷尽寒山古寺风;勿使丰干又饶舌，化人再到不空空。"康有为曾感慨于古钟流失到日本，他风趣地说：也怪丰干和尚多嘴多舌，向浙江台州太守阎邱点破了寒山拾得是文殊普贤两菩萨化身的天机。若不泄露天机，再有转世者到来，寺内就不会空空地连古钟也保不住了。

碑廊内还陈列着明唐寅的《化钟疏》碑、民族英雄岳飞的"还我河山"等题词。岳飞被十二道金牌从前线召回，飘过枫桥，宿寺中时留此墨宝，表现了他誓抗金兵收复失土的决心。

碑廊斜对面是弘法堂，里面供着三尊铜像。正中为唐代高僧玄奘。玄奘于公元620xx年去西天取经，645年返长安，译超多佛经，还写了《大唐西域记》一书，一向是佛教界的泰斗。小说《西游记》中，他作为孙悟空的师父出现，成为妇孺皆知的人物。

右侧供奉的是另一位唐代高僧鉴真，他五次东渡失败，第六次在双目失明的状况下，于公元753年从苏州张家港黄泗浦启航，再次吃尽千辛万苦，成功抵达日本，传播佛教、建筑、雕塑、农业、文学、医药、书法等知识和技术，被誉为日本律宗始祖。公元763年，76岁的鉴真在奈良唐招提寺病逝。鉴真贡献卓越，被尊为"盲圣"，也是弘扬佛教先驱之一。

鉴真像对面供奉的是日本高僧空海。公元804元，他随日本遣唐使来华，阴历十一月廿二日抵苏州，廿三日乘船到枫桥参拜寒山寺，最后到达唐京城长安学习佛学、诗文、绘画等，三年后回国成为日本真言宗密教创始人，被誉为"日本的鉴真大师"。852年去世，日本天皇追赐"弘法大师"谥号。

讲解到此结束。愿寒山寺的悠久文化历史、迷人的钟声传播友情，给各位带来福音。谢谢大家。

Hello, everyone. I'm the tour guide of Hanshan Temple. You can call me Xiao

Wei. This tour, we should stay close to the team.

Around the gable, you enter the temple. In the middle of the small

courtyard is a stone tablet presented by a Japanese friend. On the right is an

ancient tree picked up by Hanshan in those years. It seems to be waving to us.

On the left are several bronze tripods carved with birds, animals, sun, moon and

stars. When you tap them, they will buzz, as if telling the story of Hanshan

Temple for thousands of years. You can have a try.

Now we come to the arhat hall, where there are more than 100 Arhats, the

size of a real lamp God. Look, this arhat's eyebrows are really long. Oh, this

arhat has three heads. He's called "merciful immortal". There are also Arhats

with two earlobes and shoulders, big belly, long arms and very big feet. These

Arhats, glittering in the distance and lifelike in the near, add mystery to the

temple.

Through the small door, we came to the Sutra library. There are two saints.

The sage Hanshan is holding the vase in his hand. He is very careful, isn't he?

It's interesting to pick it up and point.

That's all for today. Here's free time.

各位朋友，到苏州旅游，寒山寺是人们向往的地方，今天我们游览的景点就是寒山寺。寒山寺位于城西枫桥镇，建于公元508至519年的梁代天监年间，当时名叫"妙利普明塔院"，唐朝时才叫寒山寺。寒山寺并非因山得名，而是因人得名。唐代时，寒山、拾得两位高僧到此，后人为纪念寒山，改寺名为寒山寺。寒山确有其人，是唐朝诗僧，著有《寒山子诗集》留世。寒山寺自唐代以来一直名扬中外，魅力无穷，寻本探源，有这样几个原因：

第一，唐代诗人张继的《枫桥夜泊》诗，使它家喻户晓。"月落鸟啼霜满天，江枫渔火对愁眠;姑苏城外寒山寺，夜半钟声到客船。"这些传世佳句，起到了文因景传，景因文名，钟声诗韵，名扬百世的效果。该诗不但在我国流传极广，而且很早就传到了一衣带水的东邻日本，因此，清代著名学者俞樾在《重修寒山寺记》一文中说过："其国三尺之童无不能诵是诗者。"到今天它仍被编人日本学校教科书中。在东南亚、欧美，这些诗句也很受青睐。

第二，佛门弟子一直认为，曾住持过此寺的唐代和尚寒山、拾得，分别是文殊、普贤两位菩萨转世的高僧，并把他们神化为我国的和合二仙，成为人们喜闻乐见的神仙。民间传说，拾得和尚乘了寒山寺里的一口钟，飘洋过海到过日本一个名叫萨堤的地方，传播佛学和中国文化。这个故事曾以连环画的艺术形式在日本的1989年第4期《中国医报》杂志上登载，题为《寒山寺钟声》，更使寒山寺多了个娓娓动听的中日友好话题。

第三，民间相传，张继诗中涉及的钟，历经沧桑，在明末流入日本。清末，日本山田寒山先生便四处探寻，欲将此钟归还原主，但终无下落，便募捐集资，铸一对青铜钟，一送寒山寺，一留日本馆山寺。在中日民间文化交流和友好往来史册中，写下了美好的一页。

第四，寒山寺的钟声不但有悠久的文化历史内涵，还有奇妙的功能，这功能用12个字可以概括二"闻钟声，烦恼清，智慧长，菩提生。"菩提，在梵文(即印度古代文字)中意为"觉悟""大彻大悟"。所以旅游者都要亲自聆听寒山寺的钟声。

各位游客大家好，现在我们所在的位置就是寒山寺，说起寒山寺，大家都会想起“月落鸟啼霜满天，江枫渔火对愁眠。姑苏城外寒山寺，夜半钟声到客船。”的千古绝句吧。寒山寺位于苏州阀门外的枫桥镇，建于六朝时期的梁代天监年间，距今已有1400多年的历史。寒山寺最初的名字叫“妙利普明塔院”。下面请大家跟我一起前往寒山寺游览。

在寒山寺，最为游人感兴趣的就是那口大钟了。寒山寺的钟，历来受到诗人们的题咏，这在文学史上是罕见的。

游客们：现在我们已经进人寒山寺景区了。寒山寺景区拥有“古寺、古桥、古关、古镇、古运河”。古寺即寒山寺。

各位游客：前面那座金碧辉煌，宏伟庄重的主塔就是寒山寺的普明塔，等一会儿我们进了寺内再去参观。现在我们取道寒山别院去寒山寺。

穿过寒山别院，各位看到前面的那座石拱古桥就是江枫桥。现在我们来看一下山门前的照壁，黄墙上“寒山寺”三个大字，是由浙江东湖名土陶浚宣所写，字体古朴苍劲，给历经千年风霜的古刹增添了庄重感。大家可以在此拍照留念。一个小时和我们集合，请大家注意时间，注意安全，谢谢配合。

在进大雄宝殿前，我们先留意一下大雄宝殿前的汉白玉栏杆，全长34.50米，柱高1.5米，栏板高0.7米，采用莲花宝座和海棠的图案。这只铁香炉上铸有“大化陶熔”四字，暗示了佛的神通广大，意为佛的教化可以造就信徒成为大器。大殿前的一对石柱，称为“露盘”，是和尚就餐前放饭盛水，以供所谓饿鬼食用的器具。

殿内正中供奉的是释迎牟尼佛木雕像，左边长者为迦叶，右边年轻的叫阿难，他们是如来的得力弟子。佛祖逝世后，迦叶在灵鹫山主持了佛教信徒的第一次集会;阿难是佛祖的从弟，聪明有智慧，擅长记忆，跟随佛祖25年，把佛祖生前的讲经说法都写在贝叶树的叶子上，成了佛经。1924年“戊戌变法”改良家康有为参拜寒山寺，曾写了一副“真经书贝叶，法果证菩提”的对联，点出了佛经的历史，墨宝现珍藏在寒山寺枫江楼里，成为寒山寺重要文物。

大殿两侧沿墙分列着明代时从山西五台山清来的铁铸十八罗汉金身坐像。释迪牟尼佛像背后东墙上嵌有清代扬州八怪之一罗聘所画的寒山、拾得石刻。寒山右手指地，拾得担胸笑颜，画面上还有讲述寒山、拾得劝人和好欢颜的诗篇：“我若欢颜少烦恼，世间烦恼变欢颜。”南墙上嵌有清代佛教居士大鹤山人郑文焯于1880年在枫桥船中所作的指画丰子像石碑。据说丰干和尚是寒山、拾得的师傅。

大殿后测东南角悬挂的这口大铜钟就是由日本山田寒山赠送的，铜钟高80多厘米，直径近70厘米，周围铸有阳文汉字《姑苏寒山寺钟铭》，为1905年的日本首相伊藤博文所写。

各位游客们：

大家好!

大家好！欢迎来到苏州园林参观。我是你们的导游，姓潘，就叫我小潘或潘导好了。下面就让我带你们去参观吧！

苏州园林以山水秀丽，典雅而闻名天下，有“江南园林甲天下，苏州园林甲江南“的美称。那里既有湖光山色，烟波浩淼的气势，又有江南水乡小桥流水的诗韵。

现在我们来到了拙政园。拙政园是我国四大古典名园之一。它位于苏州娄门内，是苏州最大的一处园林，也是苏州园林的代表作。你们看，拙政园建筑布局是不是疏落相宜、构思巧妙，风格清新秀雅、朴素自然？它的布局主题以水为中心，池水面积约占总面积的五分之一，各种亭台轩榭多临水而筑。主要建筑有远香堂、雪香云蔚亭、待霜亭、留听阁、十八曼陀罗花馆、三十六鸳鸯馆等。下面大家拍拍照吧，小心点，不要掉到水里或乱扔垃圾了！

参观了拙政园，现在大家跟我来到了沧浪亭。沧浪亭是苏州最古老的一所园林。沧浪亭园内以山石为主景。瞧，迎面一座土山，沧浪石亭便坐落其上。假山东南部的明道堂是园林的主建筑，此外还有五百名贤祠、看山楼、翠玲珑馆、仰止亭和御碑亭等建筑与之衬映。造园艺术与众不同，未进园门便设一池绿水绕于园外。山下凿有水池，山水之间以一条曲折的复廊相连，多美丽啊！

下面大家看到的是狮子林。是苏州四大名园之一。因园内石峰林立，多状似狮子，故名“狮子林”。林内的湖石假山多且精美，建筑分布错落有致，主要建筑有燕誉堂、见山楼、飞瀑亭、问梅阁等。狮子林主题明确，景深丰富，个性分明，假山洞壑匠心独具，一草一木别有风韵。寒山寺导游词3篇

最后，让我们参观留园。留园为中国四大名园之一。始建于明代。留园占地约50亩，中部以山水为主，是全园的精华所在。主要建筑有涵碧山房、明瑟楼、远翠阁曲溪楼、清风池馆等处。留园内建筑的数量在苏州诸园中居冠，充分体现了古代造园家的高超技艺和卓越智慧。寒山寺导游词3篇

the Liang Dynasty in the Six Dynasties. It has a history of more than 1400

years. Hanshan Temple was originally called "Miaoli Puming pagoda yard". Next,

please follow me to visit Hanshan Temple.

In Hanshan Temple, the most interesting thing for tourists is the big bell.

The bell of Hanshan Temple has always been praised by poets, which is rare in

the history of literature.

在寒山寺，最为游人感兴趣的就是那口大钟了。寒山寺的钟，历来受到诗人们的题咏，这在文学史上是罕见的。相传张继诗中所涉及的钟，历经沧桑，在明末流入日本。清末，日本的山田寒山先生四处探寻，欲将此钟归还，但终无下落，便募捐集资，在日本明治38年(1906年)由小林诚等一批工匠精心铸成一对青铜钟，一口留在日本观山寺，一口送来苏州寒山寺，在中日民间文化交流和友好往来史册中写下了美好的一页。在日本，苏州寒山寺几乎家喻户晓，老幼皆知，在日本的小学里，甚至把张继的《枫桥夜泊》诗作为课文来讲授和背诵。

自1979年12月31日除夕夜，苏州举办首届除夕寒山寺听钟声活动以来，已连续举办了20届。20个除夕，近3万以日本人为主的海内外游人来寒山寺聆听夜半钟声。

穿过寒山别院，各位看到前面的那座石拱古桥就是江枫桥。现在我们来看一下山门前的照壁，黄墙上“寒山寺”三个大字，是由浙江东湖名土陶浚宣所写，字体古朴苍劲，给历经千年风霜的古刹增添了庄重感。大家可以在此拍照留念。

大家发现没有，寒山寺的山门是朝西的。通常的民居建筑或寺院建筑都以坐北朝南为最佳，而寒山寺的庙门为何要朝西呢?据德高望重的寒山寺老方丈性空法师说，这乃是“因地制宜”。原来苏州是水乡。隋代开的那条运河正位于寒山寺的西边。唐宋之际，水上交通日益发展和繁忙，为便于路过的商人、船民、农民、信徒乘船来此朝拜进香，庙门便朝两靠河边开了。还有，人们都知道《西游记》中唐僧西天取经的故事，两天是佛祖居住地，西天又称极乐世界，光明圣洁，无一烦恼，所以庙门朝西开，也表示崇敬向往佛国圣地，一举两得，何乐而不为呢?再者，寺院多火烛，历代寺僧都以大运河的水来消防灭火。按中国五行学说，水能克火，从风水上来克制火灾。然而，和尚们的苦心仍逃不脱人间的灾难。历史上的寒山寺也避免不了战火和火灾，前后共五次火毁。破坏最严重的是清咸丰十年(1860年)清军与太平军交战，一把大火，将古寺楼阁化为尘埃，除诗碑外无复留存。现在的寒山寺是清光绪三十二年，即1906年重建的，宣统二年(1910年)又加修缮，重建大殿，一时成为吴中名刹。

寒山寺现存主要建筑和古迹有：大雄宝殿、庑殿、藏经楼、寒山拾得塑像、碑廊、钟楼、枫江楼等。下面让我们进内参观。各位请看：这块“古寒山寺”的匾额，是清末江苏巡抚程德全的手笔。进入山门，迎面是慈颜常笑的弥勒佛坐像，背面是韦驮的威武立像。

穿过山门，我们来到了寒山寺的主庭园，园内青松挺拔，回廊曲折通幽，左侧的花坛两面嵌有两块石刻，一为明代崇祯年间刻的“寒拾遗踪”;另一为程德全写的“妙利宗风”。妙利指的是初建时的寺名“妙利普明塔院”。这两块石刻概括了寒山寺的历史渊源。

接着我们来看看左侧的五百罗汉堂。这些都是清代留下的小型香樟木雕成的镀金五百罗汉，在罗汉堂中央矗立着一尊于1995年落成的观音铜像，高2.5米，重1.5吨，是由日本宗教画院、日本禅宗画家协会赠送的，于1995年落成。

Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to Hanshan Temple.

Hanshan Temple was first built in 5__ A.D., that is, in the reign of

Tianjian of Liang Dynasty, with a history of more than 1000 years. The original

name of Hanshan Temple is Miaoli Puming pagoda garden. Because it was burned in

yuan, Ming and Qing Dynasties, what we see now is the remains preserved after it

was built in 19__. Of course, Suzhou municipal government has made great efforts

to renovate it in recent years to get a new appearance of this day. When you get

there, some tourists may ask, "where is the Hanshan of Hanshan Temple? Is it

very cold?" let me answer for you. In fact, Hanshan Temple is not named because

of the mountain, but because of the people. In Tang Dynasty, there were two

monks, one was Hanshan, the other was Shide. Hanshan, in particular, is a poet

monk in the Tang Dynasty. He has a collection of hanshanzi's poems. Later

generations renamed this temple Hanshan Temple in memory of Hanshan.

In addition, you must understand that there are many places of interest in

Suzhou. Why is Hanshan Temple especially famous at home and abroad? There are

three reasons: first, it originated from a poem. You may understand that there

was a poet named Zhang Ji in the Tang Dynasty. He was born in Xiangfan, Hubei

Province. He went to Beijing for an examination, but he was named sun Shan. He

was depressed. On his way home, the fishing boat moored at night on the maple

bridge, which is a bridge to the west of Hanshan Temple. Please follow my

direction. He heard the "Dong Dong" sound of the Hanshan Temple bell, which made

him benefit a lot. He thought that if I failed this year, next time I must be

able to make a comeback. With the inspiration of disaster relief, he wrote down

the famous poem "Night Mooring on maple bridge", which is "the moon is falling,

the frost is all over the sky, and the river Maple fishing fire is sleepy.

Hanshan Temple outside the city of Gusu, the bell rings at midnight to the

passenger ship. " To this day, thousands of miles away in Japan, many young

children are familiar with.

Secondly, Buddhist disciples have always believed that Hanshan and Shide,

who had once been the abbots of the temple, were the incarnations of Manjusri

and Puxian, respectively.

Third, the bell of Hanshan Temple. That is the bell mentioned in Zhang Ji's

poem. In the Ming Dynasty, it flowed into Japan. After that. A Japanese named

Yamada Hanshan failed in his search, so he collected a pair of bronze bells, one

for Hanshan Temple in China, and the other for Guanshan temple in Japan. It has

written a perfect page in the history of Sino Japanese folk cultural exchanges

and friendly exchanges.

Fourth, it is said that the bell of Hanshan Temple has a very peculiar

function, which can be summarized as "hearing the bell, clear worries,

commander, Bodhisattva."

Maybe when you see the gate facing the west, you must and will have

questions. Let me answer for you again. As for the reasons / there are three

reasons:

First of all, according to local conditions, the door faces the West. To

the west is the canal. The transportation is convenient for the believers from

all over the world to come here by boat to burn incense.

Second, to the West means to go to the Western Paradise, showing respect

for Western Buddhist resorts.

Thirdly, water can conquer fire.

I have explained the history of Hanshan Temple to you in detail. Please

review it here first, and have a rest and take photos by the way. In a moment,

we will go back to the next scenic spot, the heavenly king hall.

游客们：现在我们已经进人寒山寺景区了。寒山寺景区拥有“古寺、古桥、古关、古镇、古运河”。古寺即寒山寺。古桥指寒山寺两侧大运河上的江村桥和枫桥，即张继诗中“江枫渔火对愁眠”中的江、枫这两座桥。古关指大运河和上塘河交汇处的铁铃关，建于1557年，为明代抗击倭寇的关隘，城楼雄伟，现设抗倭史迹陈列室。铁铃关、浒墅关、白虎关是历史上有名的“苏州三关”。古镇就是枫桥镇，粉墙黛瓦，一派姑苏水乡风光。古运河即开凿于隋场帝时的京杭大运河，全长1794公里，从寺前流过。

各位游客：前面那座金碧辉煌，宏伟庄重的主塔就是寒山寺的普明塔，等一会儿我们进了寺内再去参观。现在我们取道寒山别院去寒山寺。

寒山别院是1993年修筑的，满园的绿色让人心旷神怕，苍松、翠竹、桂花、樱花、腊梅、草坪与落月池、映月亭、愁眠坡、寒山桥、听钟坪、觅诗廊等，景物交相晖映。园中的那座松茂亭内，于1993年立了一块碑，碑文为我国无产阶级革命家李大钊30岁时用行草书写的《枫桥夜泊》诗。1956年，他的女儿李星华将这幅原作捐献给国家，现存于中国革命博物馆。寒山寺内还珍藏着宋代、明代、清代、民国年间以及现代文人学者写的枫桥夜泊诗碑。

Dear friends, to Suzhou tourism, Hanshan Temple is a place people yearn

for, today we visit the scenic spot is Hanshan Temple. Hanshan Temple is located

in Fengqiao town in the west of the city. It was built in 508-519 A.D. during

the reign of emperor Tianjian of Liang Dynasty. At that time, it was called

"Miaoli Puming pagoda courtyard". It was only called Hanshan Temple in the Tang

Dynasty. Hanshan Temple is not named because of mountain, but because of people.

In the Tang Dynasty, Hanshan and Shide two eminent monks came here. To

commemorate Hanshan, later generations changed the name of the temple to Hanshan

Temple. Hanshan is a poet monk in the Tang Dynasty. He wrote hanshanzi's

collection of poems and stayed in the world. Hanshan Temple has been famous both

at home and abroad since the Tang Dynasty

First, Zhang Ji, a poet of the Tang Dynasty, made it a household name. "The

moon falls, the birds sing, the frost is all over the sky, the river Maple

fishing fire sleeps; the Hanshan Temple outside the city of Gusu, the midnight

bell rings to the passenger ship. "These verses, which are handed down from

generation to generation, play an important role in the spread of literature

because of scenery, scenery because of the name of the text, and the rhyme of

the bell. This poem is not only widely spread in China, but also spread to Japan

in the east very early. Therefore, Yu Yue, a famous scholar in Qing Dynasty,

said in the article of rebuilding Hanshan Temple: "no child in his country can

recite it. "Today, it is still included in Japanese school textbooks. In

Southeast Asia, Europe and America, these poems are also very popular.

Secondly, Buddhist disciples have always believed that Hanshan and Shide,

the Tang Dynasty monks who once lived in this temple, were the reincarnated

eminent monks of Manjusri and Puxian, and deified them as the two immortals of

Hehe in China, becoming the most popular immortals. According to folklore, monk

Shide took a bell in Hanshan Temple and traveled across the sea to a place

called sadi in Japan to spread Buddhism and Chinese culture. The story was

published in the 4th issue of China Medical Journal in 1989 in the form of comic

strips, entitled "the bell of Hanshan Temple", which added a pleasant topic of

Sino Japanese friendship to Hanshan Temple.

Third, according to folk legend, the bell in Zhang Ji's poems, after many

vicissitudes, flowed into Japan in the late Ming Dynasty. At the end of the Qing

Dynasty, Mr. Yamada Hanshan of Japan explored everywhere to return the clock to

its owner, but he had no whereabouts. He raised money to cast a pair of bronze

bells, one for Hanshan Temple, and the other for Guanshan Temple of Japan. It

has written a beautiful page in the history of Sino Japanese folk cultural

exchanges and friendly exchanges.

Fourth, the bell of Hanshan Temple not only has a long cultural and

historical connotation, but also has a wonderful function. This function can be

summed up in 12 words as "hearing the bell, clear worries, long wisdom,

Bodhisattva". Bodhi, in Sanskrit (ancient Indian characters), means "awakening"

and "great enlightenment". So tourists have to listen to the bell of Hanshan

Temple.

Zhang Ji, a poet of the Tang Dynasty, was famous when he came to Beijing

for the exam. On his way home, he moored at Fengqiao at night. Inspired by the

bell of Hanshan Temple in the middle of the night, he wrote down the masterpiece

of Night Mooring at Fengqiao, which has occupied an eye-catching place in the

history of Chinese literature. It was the bell of Hanshan Temple that made him

get rid of his worries and continue to study hard in the cold window. Later, he

went to the capital again to take the exam and won the Jinshi. In a word, the

bell of Hanshan Temple in Suzhou can calm the mind, enlighten the mind and place

good expectations. Now we are going to enter Hanshan Temple scenic area.

Hanshan Temple scenic area has "ancient temple, ancient bridge, ancient

pass, ancient town, ancient canal" for tourists to visit. Ancient temple refers

to Hanshan Temple. The ancient pass refers to the tielingguan pass at the

intersection of the Grand Canal and Shangtang river. It was built in 1557 ad. it

was a pass to fight against Japanese pirates in the Ming Dynasty, with

magnificent towers. The ancient bridge refers to the Jiangcun bridge and the

Fengqiao bridge on the Grand Canal on the west side of Hanshan Temple. The Poet

Zhang Ji's famous sentence "Jiangfeng fishing fire vs. sorrow sleep" refers to

these two bridges. Fengqiao town, where Hanshan Temple is located, is an ancient

town with many shops, teahouses and bookstores. The ancient canal refers to the

Beijing Hangzhou Grand Canal beside Hanshan Temple. The Grand Canal, 1794

kilometers long from Beijing to Hangzhou, was dug by Emperor Yang of the Sui

Dynasty between 605 and 610 ad. The Grand Canal promoted the material and

cultural exchanges between the north and the south, and also brought prosperity

to Suzhou's economy.

第一，唐代诗人张继的《枫桥夜泊》诗，使它家喻户晓。"月落鸟啼霜满天，江枫渔火对愁眠;姑苏城外寒山寺，夜半钟声到客船。"这些传世佳句，起到了文因景传，景因文名，钟声诗韵，名扬百世的效果。该诗不但在我国流传极广，而且很早就传到了一衣带水的东邻日本，因此，清代著名学者俞樾在《重修寒山寺记》一文中说过："其国三尺之童无不能诵是诗者。"到今天它仍被编人日本学校教科书中。在东南亚、欧美，这些诗句也很受青睐。

第二，佛门弟子一直认为，曾住持过此寺的唐代和尚寒山、拾得，分别是文殊、普贤两位菩萨转世的高僧，并把他们神化为我国的和合二仙，成为人们喜闻乐见的神仙。民间传说，拾得和尚乘了寒山寺里的一口钟，飘洋过海到过日本一个名叫萨堤的地方，传播佛学和中国文化。这个故事曾以连环画的艺术形式在日本的1989年第4期《中国医报》杂志上登载，题为《寒山寺钟声》，更使寒山寺多了个娓娓动听的中日友好话题。

第三，民间相传，张继诗中涉及的钟，历经沧桑，在明末流入日本。清末，日本山田寒山先生便四处探寻，欲将此钟归还原主，但终无下落，便募捐集资，铸一对青铜钟，一送寒山寺，一留日本馆山寺。在中日民间文化交流和友好往来史册中，写下了美好的一页。

第四，寒山寺的钟声不但有悠久的文化历史内涵，还有奇妙的功能，这功能用12个字可以概括二"闻钟声，烦恼清，智慧长，菩提生。"菩提，在梵文(即印度古代文字)中意为"觉悟""大彻大悟"。所以旅游者都要亲自聆听寒山寺的钟声。

唐代诗人张继当年进京考试名落孙山，归途中夜泊枫桥，正是听了夜半寒山寺钟声的启迪，灵感顿开，写下了枫桥夜泊这首千古绝唱，在中国文学史上占了引人注目的一席。也正是寒山寺钟声使他消了烦恼，继续寒窗苦读，后来再次赴京城应试，结果中了进士。总之，苏州寒山寺的钟声能安抚心神，启迪思维，寄托美好期望。现在我们就要进入寒山寺景区了。

寒山寺景区拥有"古寺、古桥、古关、古镇、古运河"供游人游览。古寺，指寒山寺。古关，指大运河和上塘河交汇处的铁铃关，建于公元1557年，为明代抗击倭寇的关隘，城楼雄伟。古桥，指寒山寺西侧大运河上的江村桥和枫桥，诗人张继名句"江枫渔火对愁眠"中的江枫，就指这两座桥。古镇，就是寒山寺所在的枫桥镇，粉墙黛瓦的民居，鳞次栉比的商店、茶馆、书场，一派姑苏水乡风光。古运河，指寒山寺旁的京杭大运河。大运河从北京到杭州全长1794公里，是公元605至620xx年间隋炀帝时开凿的。大运河促进了南北物资和文化交流，也给苏州的经济带来了繁荣。

各位朋友，前面金碧辉煌、宏伟庄重的宝塔就是寒山寺的普明塔。寒山寺的布局与众不同：一反寺庙普遍朝南的惯例，它的庙门是朝西的。为什么呢?请大家思考一下。现在我们下车取道寒山别院去寒山寺。

寒山别院是个不可多得的好去处。它终年绿满视野，苍松、翠竹、桂花、樱花、腊梅、草坪与落月池、映月亭、愁眠坡、寒山桥、听钟坪、觅诗廊等景物交相映辉。在一小匠上，有座雅致的松茂亭，内立一块依照我国革命先驱、中国共产党的创始人之一的李大钊手书《枫桥夜泊》诗碑。李大钊同志的这件墨宝写于1919年，原件珍藏于中国革命博物馆，于1993年立碑于此，为寒山寺景区增添了光彩。寒山寺内还珍藏着宋代的、明代的、清代的、民国年间的以及现代文人学者写的枫桥夜泊诗碑。

寒山寺山门就要到了。前面的那座石拱圈古桥就是江村桥，桥堍与山门之间那垛黄墙称照壁，墙上"寒山寺"三个大字为浙江东湖名土陶浚宣所写，古朴苍劲。建议大家在此留影。

请看，寒山寺的山门，即大门，是朝西的。说起这门的朝向，有它的来历。苏州孔庙里有块刻于1229年的苏州地图，名叫《平江图》，因为宋代苏州称为平江府，图上的寒山寺庙门就已经是朝西的了。另外，《寒山寺志》也明文写到："寺院呈长方形，四周培垣峻起，山门西向。"为何朝西?德高望重的寒山寺老方丈性空法师曾指点迷津，说过四个字："因地制宜"。隋代开的大运河，至唐宋之际日益繁忙;苏州是水乡，庙门朝西靠河边，便于路过的商贾、船民、农民、信徒乘船来此朝拜进香。再者，人们熟知唐玄类西天取经的故事，西是佛祖居住地，西方又称极乐世界，光明圣洁，无一切烦恼，庙门朝西也表示崇敬向往佛国圣地，一举两得，何乐而不为!另外，按照五行学说，水能克火。历代寺僧以大运河的水来克火，所以历史上寒山寺曾太平了几百年。

寒山寺的碑刻素来闻名，而其中最著名的首推《枫桥夜泊》诗碑了。各位游客：现在我们就到碑廊去观赏一下。自古至今，寺中《枫桥夜泊》诗碑到底有几块呢?答案是：一诗七碑。

北宋翰林学士殉国公王珪(1019—1085年)书张继《枫桥夜泊》诗石刻，为张继诗第一石，可借此碑早年失传。为恢复历史遗迹，弘扬民族文化，在海峡两岸有关人士的努力下，于1996年用王珪字迹集成的张继诗第一石又重立于普明塔旁。这要感谢台湾博斯年图书馆，他们无偿慷慨惠赠3000余字的王珪手迹墓志铭拓片，经苏州著名书法家费之雄集字，苏州碑刻博物馆雕刻艺术家时忠德重刻，又向世人展示了张继诗第一石的神采，为了解王珪书体特征和风格提供了实物。

全诗集字只有28字，但能直接选用的王珪完整原字只有14个，即：月、满、天、江、火、对、姑、城、外、寒、山、寺、夜、半，其余的都是通过原字部首组合而成。如：“霜”，用“雨”和“相”结合;部民”以“目”和“民”组合等等。字作为正楷，介于颜、柳书体之间。碑石选用了有一定年代的无字旧青石碑，总高2.5米，宽0.84米，厚0.2米，高1.66米，每字约13厘米见方。诗碑碑拓于1996年9月已被故宫博物院收藏。

第二块碑是明代文微明所写，因寺失火，仅存残碑一块，剩下不到10字，现展示在碑廊墙内。第三块碑为清代俞樾所写，保存完好，现市面上常见的《枫桥夜泊》条幅即是俞樾书碑的拓本。该碑陈列在碑廊内。第四块碑是与唐代的张继同姓同名的河北沧州人张继于1947年12月14日书写的。张继写好此碑，想不到第二天便碎然逝世，这幅墨迹也就成了名副其实的绝笔了。这块诗碑保存较好，现陈列在普明塔院内，诗的原件保存在台湾中国国民党中央史馆。

第五块碑我们在寒山别院松茂亭内，已先睹为快了，就是李大钊书写的那块。

第六块碑是当代书画大家刘海粟的作品。1981年冬，时年86岁高龄的画家把自己关在房内约5个小时，用整个身心完成了一件力作——行草《枫桥夜泊》。刘老完成这件作品后病倒了多天，但他对这幅作品非常满意，认为不亚于俞樾所书。根据刘老生前愿望，这块碑于1994年镌刻完成后置于寒山寺碑廊内。

第七块碑是1998年新竖在“枫桥诗碑廊”内的由革命前辈陈云所书，原件是他82岁时赠给评弹名家刘韵若的。

碑廊内与俞樾手书碑相对而立的是康有为1920年在寒山寺题的诗：“钟声已渡海云东，冷尽寒山古寺风;勿使丰干又饶舌，化人再到不空空。”康有为曾慷慨于古钟流失到日本，他风趣地说：也怪丰干和尚多嘴多舌，向浙江台州太守阁邱点破了寒山、拾得是文殊、普贤两菩萨化身的天机。若不是泄露天机，再有转世者到来，寺内就不会空空地连古钟也保不住了。

碑廊斜对面是弘法堂，里面供有三尊铜像。正中为唐代高僧玄奘，他于629年去西天取经，645年返回长安，翻译了大量的佛经，还写了《大唐西域记》一书，在《西游记》里，他是孙悟空的师傅唐僧，已成为妇孺皆知的形象。右侧是唐代高僧鉴真，他五次东渡日本失败，第六次在双目失明的情况下，于753年在苏州张家港黄泅浦起航，这次历尽千辛万苦，成功抵达日本，传播佛教、建筑、雕刻、农业、文学、医学、书法等知识和技术，被誉为日本律宗始祖。763年，76岁的鉴真在奈良后招提寺病逝。左侧还供奉着日本高僧空海的铜像，804年，他随日本遣唐使来华，农历十一月二十二日抵苏州，二十三日乘船到枫桥参拜寒山寺，最后到达唐京城长安，学习佛学、诗文、绘画等，三年后回国成为日本真言宗密教创始人，被誉为“日本的鉴真大师”。852年去世，日本天皇追赐“弘法大师”谥号。

游客们：参观完碑廊和钟楼之后，有兴趣的游客还可以登上“枫江第一楼”。枫江楼在寺的南面，上下两层，飞檐斗角。旧时的枫江楼在解放前就坍塌了，现在的这座楼是解放后从苏州城里移来的一座著名的花篮楼。因楼的底层南部比一般厅堂少用两根楹柱，即省去二步柱，而在大殿前檐处换上了两个雕刻精细的木质花篮，故名“花篮楼”。花篮楼的楼梯就像南京灵谷寺塔里的楼梯一样，围绕着中心柱盘旋而上，十分精致奇特。顺着楼梯，登上楼顶，临窗眺望，远山近水，风光如画。怪不得文人墨客到此有说不尽的诗情画意!

Hanshan Temple is one of the famous ancient temples in Suzhou. It was built

in the period of the Six Dynasties (502-519) in the reign of the Liang Dynasty.

It was originally named Miaoli Puming pagoda. It has a history of more than 1400

years. According to legend, during the Zhenguan period of the Tang Dynasty,

Hanshan and Shide, the eminent monks, came here from Tiantai Mountain to be the

abbot, so the pagoda yard was renamed Hanshan and so on. At that time, there was

a big bell in the temple, which was famous for its melodious sound. Zhang Ji, a

poet of the Tang Dynasty, once passed through Hanshan Temple. He moored at the

maple bridge at night and heard the bell in the middle of the night, which

triggered the poetic feelings of the sleepless travelers in the lonely boat. He

wrote down the famous lines of the ages: the moon is falling, the frost is all

over the sky, the river Maple fishing fire is sleeping, the Hanshan Temple

outside Gusu City, and the bell goes to the passenger ship in the middle of the

night.

Since Zhang Ji's famous poem "Night Mooring on the maple bridge" came out,

Hanshan Temple has become more and more well-known for its poetic charm and bell

ringing. With the wide spread of the poem, Hanshan Temple has been well-known

overseas. Now, every new year's Eve, Japanese friends often come to Hanshan

Temple to listen to the ancient temple bells.

The ancient Hanshan Temple was destroyed and built five times during the

1000 years of song, yuan, Ming and Qing Dynasties. According to local records,

around 980, sun Chengyou, the governor of the Northern Song Dynasty, built a

seven storey pagoda. At the end of the Yuan Dynasty, both the temple and the

pagoda were destroyed, and they were rebuilt in hongwuzhong of the Ming Dynasty.

Kuang Zhong, the magistrate, was rebuilt during the orthodox period. In 1860,

the whole temple was destroyed by war, and the halls and pavilions were blown to

dust. The existing buildings were rebuilt from the 22nd year of Guangxu to the

third year of Xuantong (1866-1911).

Located on the Bank of the ancient Yunhe River, between Fengqiao and

Jiangcun bridge, this ancient temple is majestic. The yellow wall in front of

the Mountain Gate shines on the wall, and the plaque of the ancient Hanshan

Temple is written across the gate. In the center of the courtyard is the main

hall. There are statues of Sakyamuni in the hall. Thirty six hanshanzi poems are

embedded on both sides of the Buddha seat and on the back wall. There are

freehand stone carvings of Hanshan, tade and fenggan painted by Luo pin, one of

the eight monsters in Yangzhou in the Qing Dynasty, and by Zheng Wenzhuo. The

famous statue of Hanshan is in the side hall on the right side of the main hall.

On a huge lotus seat plate, there are two young fat monks with bare breast and

barefoot. One is holding a pure bottle, the other is holding a lotus. They are

simple, honest and smiling. Hanshan is a famous poet monk in Tang Dynasty. He

has more than 300 poems. Later generations compiled Hanshan subset as three

volumes. In the side halls on the East and west sides of the main hall, there

are small 500 Arhats carved in Cinnamomum camphora wood, which are simple, vivid

and natural. At the back of the hall is the Sutra collection building, with

stone carvings on the ring wall of the Diamond Sutra written by Zhang Chu of the

Song Dynasty. The strokes are vigorous and elegant. It is a rare treasure handed

down from generation to generation. On the left side, there is a Square

Pavilion, in which there are stone inscriptions of poems by poets of Ming and

Qing Dynasties chanting Hanshan Temple; on the right side, there is a bell

tower.

hanshan temple was first built in 5__ a.d., that is, in the reign oftianjian of liang dynasty, with a history of more than 1000 years. the originalname of hanshan temple is miaoli puming pagoda garden. because it was burned inyuan, ming and qing dynasties, what we see now is the remains preserved after itwas built in 19__. of course, suzhou municipal government has made great effortsto renovate it in recent years to get a new appearance of this day. when you getthere, some tourists may ask, "where is the hanshan of hanshan temple? is itvery cold?" let me answer for you. in fact, hanshan temple is not named becauseof the mountain, but because of the people. in tang dynasty, there were twomonks, one was hanshan, the other was shide. hanshan, in particular, is a poetmonk in the tang dynasty. he has a collection of hanshanzis poems. latergenerations renamed this temple hanshan temple in memory of hanshan.

in addition, you must understand that there are many places of interest insuzhou. why is hanshan temple especially famous at home and abroad? there arethree reasons: first, it originated from a poem. you may understand that therewas a poet named zhang ji in the tang dynasty. he was born in xiangfan, hubeiprovince. he went to beijing for an examination, but he was named sun shan. hewas depressed. on his way home, the fishing boat moored at night on the maplebridge, which is a bridge to the west of hanshan temple. please follow mydirection. he heard the "dong dong" sound of the hanshan temple bell, which madehim benefit a lot. he thought that if i failed this year, next time i must beable to make a comeback. with the inspiration of disaster relief, he wrote downthe famous poem "night mooring on maple bridge", which is "the moon is falling,the frost is all over the sky, and the river maple fishing fire is n temple outside the city of gusu, the bell rings at midnight to thepassenger ship. " to this day, thousands of miles away in japan, many youngchildren are familiar with.

secondly, buddhist disciples have always believed that hanshan and shide,who had once been the abbots of the temple, were the incarnations of manjusriand puxian, respectively.

third, the bell of hanshan temple. that is the bell mentioned in zhang jispoem. in the ming dynasty, it flowed into japan. after that. a japanese namedyamada hanshan failed in his search, so he collected a pair of bronze bells, onefor hanshan temple in china, and the other for guanshan temple in japan. it haswritten a perfect page in the history of sino japanese folk cultural exchangesand friendly exchanges.

fourth, it is said that the bell of hanshan temple has a very peculiarfunction, which can be summarized as "hearing the bell, clear worries,commander, bodhisattva."

maybe when you see the gate facing the west, you must and will havequestions. let me answer for you again. as for the reasons / there are threereasons:

first of all, according to local conditions, the door faces the west. tothe west is the canal. the transportation is convenient for the believers fromall over the world to come here by boat to burn incense.

second, to the west means to go to the western paradise, showing respectfor western buddhist resorts.

thirdly, water can conquer fire.

i have explained the history of hanshan temple to you in detail. pleasereview it here first, and have a rest and take photos by the way. in a moment,we will go back to the next scenic spot, the heavenly king hall.
