清远市旅游概况_语音导游词

      各位朋友，大家好！欢迎来到清远游玩！
      清远位于广东省中北部，南接广州，北界湖南，东连韶关，西临广西，是一个旅游资源丰富的新兴旅游城市，被誉为“珠三角的后花园”。
      清远1988年撤县建市，现在，管辖清城区、清新区、佛冈县、阳山县和连山、连南两个少数民族自治县，代管英德、连州两个县级城市。总面积1.92万平方公里，是广东省地域面积最大的地级市；总人口447万，其中少数民族人口超过21万，是广东省世居少数民族人口最多的地级市。
      建市以来，市委、市政府一直把旅游业作为经济社会发展的支柱产业，促进旅游业的快速发展。据统计，2013年全市接待海内外游客达3008.56万人次，实现旅游总收入约195.72亿元，在拉动消费、扩大内需、财政增长、促进就业等方面发挥着重要作用。
      清远交通便利，距离广州市区约50公里，距离广州白云国际机场约30公里，是广东省省内距离广州市中心最近的地级市。距香港、澳门约200公里。京广铁路、京广高铁，京港澳高速、广清高速、清连高速公路，国道106、107、323线贯穿境内，并与大、小北江航道组成四通八达的水陆交通网络。随着广乐高速、二广高速和广清城际轨道的建设开通，将使清远成为连接珠三角和内地广大市场的重要经济走廊。

“清远”的由来
     清远最早有文献记载的历史，可以追溯到五帝时期。先秦以前的典籍所载，广东聚居地总共只有三处：番禺、缚娄、阳禺，其中，阳禺就在当今的阳山县青莲镇一带。而人类文明的曙光，早在十万年前就照耀着这片土地。1996年，广东省考古专家在英德宝晶宫发现人类活动踪迹的古河床，挖掘出14件人工打制的砾石石器，经考证，初步断定为十万年前古人类的用具。英德云岭牛栏洞人类生活遗址，出土了一批非籼非粳的水稻硅质体，首次将岭南地区的稻谷耕作遗存年代推前到距离现在一万年左右。
     春秋战国时，清远地区属百越（粤）之地。秦统一中国后，设置行政机构，开发岭南，清远地区属南海郡、长沙郡。汉初，属于赵陀称王的南越国。南朝梁天监年间（502-519）置清远郡，清远的名字由这时候开始。
      “清远”地名的涵义，第一个说法是取“清明广远”的意思。清远在古代是少数民族聚居区，政府用这个名字，表示治理这片土地要眼光长远，政治开明。第二个说法是取自北江河“清波流远”、“清江流远”的意境。千里北江，浩浩汤汤，是珠江水系第二大河流。有东西两个源头，东源浈水发源于江西信丰县石碣大茅山，西源武水发源于湖南临武县麻石坤。浈水和武水汇合于韶关市区，称为北江。到清远路段，滃江、连江、潖江，群龙交汇，珠光迸射，蔚为壮观；江水清冽澄澈，常见“云随清波走，山在水中游”的美丽景象。
      “遥山叠翠，远水澄清”。“清远”二字，是很美妙的形容词，跟诗画很有渊源：清代神韵派诗人王士祯毕生追求的神韵美，就是“清远为尚”。把“清”和“远”两个与山水密切相关的字合起来作地名，为这个山水城市增添了诗情画意。

清远的别名
     清远别称“凤城”，其来由大体有三个说法：
     一是清远的地形像一只凤凰，所以称“凤城”。
     二是传说古时候有众多的凤凰在清远栖息。据民国版《清远县志》记载：凤凰山在城内西南隅城隍庙，有凤凰楼，上有凤凰台，故世人称清远城曰“凤城”；据此，凤城的传说在清城的历史渊源最少有1014年了。三是来源于一则人凤舍身互救的动人故事。
     千百年来，北江洪水泛滥，史书多有记载。水灾不断的古代清远，因为抗洪而产生了世上独一无二的凤凰传奇。
     相传很久以前，一场特大的暴雨，使北江洪水泛滥，清城一片汪洋。来不及逃走的人们，纷纷游向高坡或爬上大树，有些被洪水冲走的人抱着浮起的木头在水里挣扎。满城一片哭声喊声救命声，情景非常凄惨。清城里有一位水性非常好的年轻人，名叫张易。他把落水的人挨个送到地势高的地方。张易筋疲力尽之际，又听见一阵阵哀鸣呼叫，发现一棵梧桐树几乎全部被洪水淹没了，只有一对树丫伸出水面，树丫上挤满了小凤凰，张易强打精神，游了过去。
     就在这个时候，清城上空飞来了一只巨大的凤凰，在低空中盘旋，寻找着凤巢。她发现一个青年人奋力托起了凤巢，当小凤凰被放到了高地上的一瞬间，青年人却被卷进了滔滔巨浪之中。
这只大凤凰就是那群小凤凰的母亲。她在天空盘旋了一圈之后，突然扑入水中。凤凰母亲在洪水中竭力隆起身躯，被洪水围困的人们，纷纷爬向凤凰母亲的两翼和背上，沿着凤尾走向高地。凤凰母亲在水中整整坚持了一天一夜，人，得救了，凤凰母亲，却因为劳累过度再也没有起来。
     凤凰母亲在水中涅槃，伟大的身躯化作一片凤形的土地，永远留在了清城。凤凰母亲的头部就是现在的城隍街前那片酷似凤头的土地，她的两翼就是西门岗和东门岗，脊背是现在的城市广场，她的尾部，就是松树岗。清城人民为了纪念凤凰母亲和张易，在城隍街前，筑起了一个高台，命名为“凤凰台”，在凤凰台后面筑起了凤凰亭，并将清城称为“凤城”；把张易居住的那条巷子，改名为“起凤里”。
     据民国版《清远县志》记载，后来在清城相继产生了仪凤台、凤凰亭、凤羽桥、凤凰街、起凤坊、凤城书院、凤城别墅、凤城乡祠等等。虽经历史变迁大多湮灭，但是，凤文化的符号却代代传承。现在，除了起凤里和保存下来的许多诗文专集之外，在一河两岸的地名、人名、点名家族中，以“凤”为名的有好几百个，随处可见，可以说是别具神韵。
     张易，无疑是人中龙凤；凤凰母亲，是生命的诺亚方舟。因而，清远的凤，不仅仅是神灵和一般意义上的美丽，她是见义勇为和感恩报恩的象征，有着巨大的悲壮之美、道德之美，具有很高的历史意义和文化价值。这在世界各地众多的凤凰传说中独树一帜。
     近年来，清远出现了“好人群体现象”：救助小悦悦的陈贤妹、合力抬车救人的33位征入伍青年、“托举哥”潘志明、“1元关爱温暖一座城”的何卓远、见义勇为的夏伯和周伯、死后捐献人体器官的花季少女吴华静……从文化学的角度来说，这里面有文化基因传承。清远独特的凤文化，使清远被誉为“一座感恩的城市”。

The origin of Qingyuan
     According to the earliest historical records, the history of Qingyuan can be traced back to the Five Emperors period. As early as Qin dynasty, there existed three places: Panyu, Fulou, Yangyu. Among them, Yangyu lies in Qinglian town Yangshan County. In 1996, archaeologists of Guangdong Province discovered the ancient river bed in Yingde Crystal Palace, 14 pieces of artificial gravel stone were unearthed from this palace, and they’re believed to be used as tools by ancient human before 100,000 years ago. In kraal hole human life ruins in Yunling town, there unearthed a number of rice silicon plastid, which were evidences to prove that rice farming can be traced back about 10,000 years ago in Lingnan Area.
     In the Warring States period, Qingyuan area belongs to the land of Baiyue (Guangdong). After Qin unified China, then set up administrative bodies and explored Lingnan Area. Qingyuan is a county in Nanhai and Changsha prefectures. The early Han Dynasty, which belongs to the king of the Nanyue kingdom, Zhao Tuo by name. In the year of the Liang Dynasty (502-519), Qingyuan prefecture was established, thus the name of Qingyuan came into being.There are two versions of the meaning of “Qingyuan”, one is about political. The government took this name to show that they ought to rule Qingyuan with long-term vision and open-minded political thoughts. The second version is taken from the Beijiang River. With thousands of miles and abundant water, Beijiang River is the second largest river in the Pearl River water system. Beijiang River comes from two sources, which join up with each other in Shaoguang city. Source on the east originated from Damao Mountain in Xinfeng County, Jiangxi province. Source on the west originated from Linwu County, Hunan province.
     Qingyuan, such a beautiful name, closely related to poet and paintings. What’s more, with its beautiful scenery and the many culture remains, Qingyuan is praised as a poetic city.

The nickname of Qingyuan
     The nickname of Qingyuan is “Phoenix City”, the reason behind its nickname, there’re roughly three kinds of sayings.
     First, the terrain of Qingyuan just looks like as a Phoenix.
     Second, it is said that there were plenty of phoenixes living in Qingyuan at the ancient time. According to the historical records, a Phoenix Mountain with Phoenix building and Phoenix platform, situated on the southwest of Qingyuan City, therefore people called Qingyuan as “Phoenix City”. Accordingly, the legend of “Phoenix City” occurred in Qingcheng at least with the history of 1014 years.
     The third argument is derived from a touching story about human and phoenix sacrificed in order to help local people escape from flood.
     For thousands of years, many floods occurred in Beijiang River. It is said that a heavy rainstorm hit Qingcheng and resulting as a flood calamity in thousands of years ago. Some people had no time to escape and washing away by flood, others climbed trees and waiting for help. At that time, a young man named Zhang Yi who was good at swimming. He jumped into the water to save people, and took them to a safety place one by one. Zhang Yi was extremely exhausted, however, he insisted in saving those miserable little things when he found out numbers of baby phoenixes were hiding on the branches of a plane tree. Suddenly, a giant phoenix flew over the sky, looking for her baby phoenixes. Meanwhile, she saw a young man struggling to hold up the phoenix nest, unfortunately, when the phoenix nest was placed on high ground at the moment, the young man was caught up in the surging waves.
     Phoenix jumped into the water, trying to stretch her body in the flood, people were surrounded by floods have walked on the ground through the wings and back of Phoenix. Because keeping stretch in the water for a whole day and night, phoenix was too exhausted and was washed away by flood finally.
     As a result, the giant body turned into a phoenix-shaped land in Qingcheng, the local people constructed a Phoenix Platform in front of the Cheng Huang Street to commemorate Zhang Yi and Phoenix. And the alley Zhang Yi has been living, was renamed “ Qifeng alley”.
     According to "the annals of Qingyuan County " of the Republic of China version recorded, the phoenix pavilion, the phoenix feather bridge, City God street, phoenix work place, Phoenix city academy, Phoenix city villa were constructed one after another in Qingcheng, together with ancestral hall of phoenix city and so on. In the long process of historical development, phoenix culture in Qingyuan has passed down from generation to generation. What’s more, the local people took “phoenix” for inference while they named their land, names and shops. You can find that everywhere in Qingyuan, thus phoenix culture has strong feature in the local.
     People regarded Zhang Yi and Phoenix as an auspicious sign form heaven. Among them, Phoenix is the symbol of thanksgiving and bravery, speaks highly of historic significance and culture values.
     In recent years, the appearances of good behavior happened in Qingyuan are varied and many. People including Chen xianmei who gave a hand to a little girl in a car accident, 33 teenagers who rescued passengers together in a car accident, Pan zhiming who tried his best to rescued a 6-years-old boy out of windows on sixth floor, and two admirable person called uncle Xia and uncle Zhou offer aid to help others under dangerous situation, and a young girl named Wu huajing donated her organs after her death.
