e Story of China （1 ）Myths And Legends I. Script

　 China is the oldest nation on earth. For thousands of years its rulers believed their task was to keep human society in balance with the eternal order of the universe. The emperor who achieved that harmony would receive the mandate of heaven, blessed by the ancestors. But in the late 19th century the collision with the West shook China to its core. In midwinter 1899,the emperor came here to the Altar of Heaven in Beijing to ask the ancestors for support in China’s hour of crisis, as the empire crumbled in the face of rebellion and foreign armies. It was the last time the ritual was performed Here, just before dawn on the winter solstice...the emperor prostrated himself before the powers of the universe. He performed rituals that they believed went back 5,000 years to the Yellow Emperor, the mythical first founder of China. He made a report to the ancestors about the state of the empire. But that winter of 1899...China faced disaster. The following year,1900,China was plunged into catastrophe with rebellion, flood and famine...foreign aggression...and the new century saw swiftly the fall of the Empire, short-lived republic, Communist revolution and then the insane madness of the Cultural Revolution. But despite the tragedies of the 20th century, the Chinese people have come through. Today China is writing its own story once more, under a new mandate. So long the greatest civilization on earth, China is rising again. It’s a great time to be looking at the events which have shaped the history of China and the ideals which have made its culture so distinctive and so brilliant for so long. Ever year in spring millions of Chinese people set off on the journey home. It’s the time of the Qing Ming Festival, the festival of light, when, since ancient times, the Chinese have honored the ancestors. I’m heading down to the city of Wuxi for a very special occasion, a family reunion. For the last 30 years Chinese people have grown up in a consumer society. After the break with Communism, China has been on a headlong rush into the future. But there’s a deeper China, for as new freedoms beckon, the people themselves are reaching back the things that have mattered most to them in their history. And for the Chinese people, identity begins with the family. Sometimes the new proves less enticing than was first thought and the old far more durable than anymore had ever imagined. This is the Qin family of Wuxi. It’s dawn on the day of the ancestors, what the Chinese call Tome-Sweep Day. And the Qin family gather at the grave of their founding ancestors, Qin Guan, a poet who lived 1,000 years ago. They have come from all over China and further afield to make their own report to the ancestors. To tell them how the family is doing and how the ancestors and their values still live on in us. As the ancients used to say, repaying our roots. Amazing scene, Isn’t is? It recalls the whole of Chinese history over the last 100 years, wars,

　revolutions, famines, families broken up and cast to the four winds, and yet they come back with this kind of homing instinct, almost ,to the tomb of the founder, as if everything can be reconstituted again. These rituals were banned in the Communist era and the grave was lost after the Cultural Revolution of the 1960s.But when the revolutionary time drew to a close ,Frank

　 Ching and his sister came searching for the tomb. Back in 1982,when I found that gravestone, none of these things existed. When I first sought it out I was like a blank slate, I didn’t know what existed. It’s really very exciting that this is happening. I certainly never expected anything like this to happen when I started my own journey of discovery. Like everyone in China, the Qin family have experienced dizzying change since the end of empire. From colonial subjects to emigres seeking a better life, Communist revolutionaries on the long march with Chairman Mao and even glamour on the Shanghai stage. Their family story

　mirrors the story of the nation .And now the meaning of that history is flooding back. So the Chinese people have found again the warmth of home...after the vast and terrifying dislocation of the mid-20th century when for a time China turned its back on its past. The Qin family, like the nation itself, are seeking a renewed identity, a distinctively Chinese way forward, anchored in the Chinese past. And that past goes back thousands of years.China is the oldest continuous state on earth. There are no historical texts that describe its birth but later myths and traditions take us to the Yellow River plain that gave China its name, Zhongguo ,the middle land. And here you can still reach back to those beginnings .This is a rural fair at an ancient temple ,closed down in the Communist era. I’m at a great farmers festival in the plain of the Yellow River with a million people all around me. And these vast crowds have come to celebrate an ancient myth that tells the origins of the Chinese people. As in many ancient cultures ,it’s the women who have treasured the tales and handed them down. How much? Three? Especially the tale of the mother goddess of the Chinese people, Nu Wa. Little dog. It’s great, isn’t it? This whole great festival is to two ancient goods in Chinese mythology, Fu Xi, the male god, and Nu Wa, the female god. And she’s famous because she created humanity out of the yellow mud that was left over she made dogs and chickens, according to the myth. These myths have been handed down for over 4,000 years. And they contain a crucial idea, the uniqueness of Chinese ethnic identity. China is a huge and diverse country, with so many languages and cultures. But the vast majority of its people see themselves as Han Chinese, part of the biggest tribe in the world. The myths also tell is about the origins of the Chinese state...by the banks of the Yellow River. All four of the great old world civilizations began on rivers--the Nile, the Euphrates, the Indus and the Yellow River. China along has come down until today. It was the ability to harness the waters of the rivers for irrigation that enabled ancient people to feed bigger and bigger population and eventually to create cities and make civilization.[13;24]But where the rising of the Nile, for example, was predictable to the day and seen by Egyptians as a joyful and benign soave of life, the Yellow River here in China has been a destroy. The killer of millions in its great floods. Through Chinese history, right up to the century. And so the beginnings of

　Chinese history, the control of the river and its environment lay at the very heart of political power . And the tale of the king who tamed the mighty Yellow River and claimed the right to rule the hundreds of tribes along its banks became a myth still told by today"s story tellers King Yu had two good helpers Yellow Dragon and Black Turtle. The dragon had a very long tail and the turtle was very strong. To divert the flood the dragon dragged his tail and opened a channel for water. When king Yu needed to build a dam, the turtle pushed huge amounts of mud into position. King Yu worked so hard to control the river that he didn"t return home for 13years. Look at this. This is a Ming Dynasty temple that was built in the 1520s built on a very , very ancient terrace. And that is King Yu. Historians have always thought the tale of King Yu was just a myth, but the recent find of a bronze bowl nearly 3000 years old engraved with his story proves the tale goes back to the Bronze Age. The legend says that King Yu was the founder of China"s first dynasty 4000 years ago. They were called the Xia and they came from the middle plain of the middle land here in Her Nan. And at the village of Erlitou , traditions survived until modern times that this had been the seat of China"s first rulers. The most ancient site in the world? Erlitou, yes Erlitou. Incredible! Ancient Greece, ancient Iraq,

　ancient Egypt…wherever you look, some memory survives on site. Here, towns first emerged out of China"s myriad stone. Agar village This is the burial site of Huang di. It"s thousands of years old Huandi, the Yellow Emperor, the original Emperor of China. North of the River Luo there was an ancient village. This area was

　excavated, the things they dug out are over there. Under these wheat fields, the archaeologists excavated a settlement which had thousands of people and huge walled enclosure. The white house, the taller one is Palace No.4. Inside it were pillared halls, Palaces from different periodic between 2000 and 1500BC. They stood on rammed earth platforms one of them with

　a triple gate, the pattern of all late Chinese royal cities. The xia are still a mystery. But here at Erlitou archaeologists have found tantalizing clues, pottery , bronze casting and most intriguing of all, a burial with A scepter made of 2000 pieces of turquoise in the shape of dragon the symbol of royalty all the way through Chinese civilization. Whether the Xia were China"s first dynasty and Whether This was their capital is still not known and that"s because we lack the key evidence, writing. Do you think that this was the capital of the Xia or what do you think? Difficult question. Most Historians believe the Xia existed. We are 0.99 sure of that but without writing we cannot prove it. If it This was the capital of the Xia , for the Chinese, myth would become history for they would have found the root of the Chinese state. As it is , though we now have to leap forward to around 1200 BC to find, China"s first historical rulers, the Shang Dynasty. And we know about the Shang is one of the most exciting stories in world archaeology. And it began by chance in one of those storehouse of age old. Chinese wisdom A traditional pharmacy where beliefs and practices going back into prehistory have come down to us today. And the clues to the mystery of the Shang, unbelievably were found Inside a packet of over - the - counter medicine. The story goes like this , 1899, Chinese scholar called wang Yirong, who was the chance loll of the Imperial Academy in Beijing, a great scholar and a collector of ancient bronze.

　The bird Jingwei trying to fill the sea Once upon a time, the youngest daughter of Emperor Yan, legendary ruler of primitive China, went boating on the Eastern Sea. While she was enjoying herself, a strong wind rose on the sea and her boat capsized. Just before she was buried by the surging waves, her spirit turned into a beautiful bird. As it flew over the roaring sea, it cried sadly in the sound "jinwei, jingwei". That was why people called it "Jingwei".

　 The bird lived on a mountain near the sea. It hated the sea so much that it decided to fill it up. Every day, it flew to and fro between the mountain and the sea, carrying in a twig or a pebble from the mountain and dropping it into the sea.

　 One day, the roaring sea said to Jingwei, "Poor little bird, stop doing that meaningless thing! You"ll never fill me up." Jingwei replied, "I"ll fill you up no doubt! I will, even if it"ll take me thousands of years! I"ll fight on until doomsday!"

　 The brave little bird kept carrying twigs and pebbles from the mountain to the Eastern Sea without taking a rest.

　 From this fable comes the idiom "The bird Jingwei trying to fill the sea". We use it to describe people who are firm and indomitable and will not stop until they reach their goal.

　３ 、精卫填 海 （版本三）

　The bird Jingwei trying to fill the sea Once upon a time, the youngest daughter of Emperor Yan, legendary ruler of primitive China, went boating on the Eastern Sea. While she was enjoying herself, a strong wind rose on the sea and her boat capsized. Just before she was buried by the surging waves, her spirit turned into a beautiful bird. As it flew over the roaring sea, it cried sadly in the sound

　"jinwei, jingwei". That was why people called it "Jingwei". The bird lived on a mountain near the sea. It hated the sea so much that it decided to fill it up. Every day, it flew to and fro between the mountain and the sea, carrying in a twig or a pebble from the mountain and dropping it into the sea. One day, the roaring sea said to Jingwei, "Poor little bird, stop doing that meaningless thing! You"ll never fill me up." Jingwei replied, "I"ll fill you up no doubt! I will, even if it"ll take me thousands of years! I"ll fight on until doomsday!" The brave little bird kept carrying twigs and pebbles from the mountain to the Eastern Sea without taking a rest. From this fable comes the idiom "The bird Jingwei trying to fill the sea". We use it to describe people who are firm and indomitable and will not stop until they reach their goal.

篇八：中国传统故事英文版中国古代故事英文版

的故事 There are many legends about the evolution of the festival, the most popular of which is in commemoration of Qu Yuan (340-278 BC). Qu Yuan was minister of the State of Chu and one of China"s earliest poets. In face of great pressure from the powerful Qin State, he advocated enriching the country and strengthening its military forces so as to fight against the Qin. However, he was opposed by aristocrats headed by Zi Lan, and later deposed and exiled by King Huai. In his exiled days, he still cared much for his country and people and composed immortal poems including Li Sao (The Lament), Tian Wen (Heavenly Questions) and Jiu Ge (Nine Songs), which had far-reaching influences. In 278 BC, he heard the news that Qin troops had finally conquered Chu"s capital, so he finished his last piece Huai Sha (Embracing Sand) and plunged himself into the Miluo River, clasping his arms to a large stone. The day happened to be the 5th of the 5th month in the Chinese lunar calendar.

　After his death, the people of Chu crowded to the bank of the river to pay their respects to him. The fishermen sailed their boats up and down the river to look for his body. People threw into the water zongzi (pyramid-shaped glutinous rice dumplings wrapped in reed or bamboo leaves) and eggs to divert possible fish or shrimp from attacking his body.
