Hear " have Tan Zhesi first, there is Beijing city after " . So our family is taking the advantage of holiday to go together this history compares seek by inquiry the chiliad Gu Si with even long capital -- Tan Zhesi.
听说“先有潭柘寺，后有北京城”。所以我们全家趁着假期一起去探访这座历史比京城还要悠久的千年古寺——潭柘寺。
Enter Tan Zhesi most what see first is tiger tower. This tower is tower of a grave, but inside those who bury is not a person, however a tiger. Allegedly, "Of the hill after this tiger lives in Tan Zhesi so go up crouch peak, harm livestock downhill constantly, get later inside the temple " mad demon bonze " because write a composition the Jiaohua of bright rabbi and abandon evil from be apt to, change fast of abstain from eating meal. The first year of an era or the reign of an emperor of all of announce of clear minor details, because shine after rabbi Parinirvana, this tiger is heartstricken, 5 in the future gone. Temple monk feels its complete sincerity, it is its bury then inside courtyard issueing a tower, and built a lofty grave tower for its according to the pay of old monk.
一进潭柘寺最先看到的是虎塔。这座塔是一座墓塔，但是里面埋葬的不是人，而是一只老虎。据说，“此老虎原来住在潭柘寺后山的上踞峰，时常下山伤害牲畜，后来受到寺内的“疯魔和尚”因亮法师的教化而弃恶从善，改吃素斋。清末宣统元年，因亮法师圆寂后，此老虎悲痛欲绝，五日后死去。寺僧感其至诚，遂将其葬在下塔院内，并且按照大和尚的待遇为其修建了一座高大的墓塔。
Crossed tiger tower, spread along a cobble again Xiaolu is climbed up climb, saw hill door of Tan Zhesi before long. Hill door is not tall, but massiness. There is an a horizontal inscribed board on hill door, from above to below is being written " Tan Zhesi " 3 words. Look up at up from hill door, can see 8 pattern the mountain peak of each different, some resembles hump, some opens the mouth like the tiger howling, return some to resemble leonine tail... look at hill scene, a word that I think of suddenly to Zhang Yanghao writes yuan of acting poet -- " if ridges and peaks gets together " . Look at the wild flower that overflows hill and flourish small grass, that beautiful scenery is simply if pediment is angry, green grass is like mattress.
过了虎塔，再沿着一条石子铺就的小路向上攀爬，不久就见到了潭柘寺的山门。山门不高，但是厚重。在山门上有一个匾额，自上而下写着“潭柘寺”三个字。从山门向上仰望，就可以看到八座形态各异的山峰，有的像驼峰，有的像老虎张开嘴在怒吼，还有的像狮子的尾巴……看着山景，我突然想到元代诗人张养浩写的一句词——“峰峦如聚”。看着漫山的野花和茂盛的小草，那美景简直就是山花如怒，绿草如茵啊。
Lived hill door, bypass day of Wang Dian, come to the the grandest, grandest, big Xiong Baodian that has imposing manner most. I look up to be looked up at up, see there are 9 divine animals on the fastigium of this treasure hall only, every configuration each different, make threatening gestures. Below eave, big Xiong Baodian is spreading green cover with tiles of layer upon layer red brick, every tile has exquisite and masterly figure, it is gloden among tile " big Xiong Baodian " 4 words. Look downward again, it is an eave. This eave is unified brushing aeruginous paint, there still is crossbeam to propping up eave below. A giant a horizontal inscribed board is below the 2nd brim, writing above " Fuhaizhu annulus " , allegedly this is the drive pen of Qianlong emperor. Big Xiong Baodian round circuit marble baluster, every baluster has two mainstay, there is lionet on every pillar, these lionet charge for the making of sth. are masterly, lifelike, and doing not have which two is same.
过了山门，绕过天王殿，就来到了最雄伟、最壮观、最有气势的大雄宝殿。我抬头向上仰望，只见这宝殿的屋脊上有九只神兽，每只都形态各异，张牙舞爪。在屋檐下，大雄宝殿铺着层层红砖绿瓦，每片瓦都有细腻精湛的花纹，砖瓦中间就是金光闪闪的“大雄宝殿”四个字。再往下看，又是一层屋檐。这层屋檐统一刷着青绿色的漆，下面还有一排排整齐的横梁支撑着屋檐。第二层檐下又是一块巨大的匾额，上面写着“福海珠轮”，据说这是乾隆皇帝的御笔。大雄宝殿围着一圈大理石栏杆，每个栏杆都有两个支柱，每个支柱上都雕刻着小狮子，这些小狮子做工精湛，栩栩如生，而且没有哪两只是一样的。
Taking these question in the heart, I bypass big Xiong Baodian, come to the small square before adjoin cottage cabinet. The tree that there is temple of a town here -- imperial tree. It is tree of a ginkgo, probably 10 come a building is tall, 4 adult are held in the arms hand in hand come nevertheless.
带着心中的这些疑问，我绕过大雄宝殿，来到了毗庐阁前的小广场。这里有一棵镇寺之树——帝王树。它是一颗银杏树，大概有十来层楼高，四个成年人手拉手都抱不过来。
Along tour a line, we saw the tourist attraction such as hill of tiger of hall of avalokitesvara hole, the Dragon King, lion again. Because be Chu Xia, did not smell " 2 tall " the fragrance that jade orchid opens, did not see the monarch cultivates the Cheng Jing of yellow leaf of all over the sky. So, people makes an appointment, we can come to the autumn again surely.
沿着游览路线，我们又参观了观音洞、龙王殿、狮虎山等景点。因是初夏，没有闻到“二乔”玉兰花开的芬芳，没有看到帝王树漫天黄叶的盛景。所以，家人们相约，秋天我们定会再来。
