洛陽(yáng)的導(dǎo)游詞范文 篇1
朋友們：今天我要帶領(lǐng)大家參觀的是洛陽(yáng)市一處著名的旅游景點(diǎn)——白馬寺。白馬寺位于今洛陽(yáng)城東約12公里處，這里北依邙山，南臨洛水，寶塔高聳，殿閣崢嶸，長(zhǎng)林古木，肅然幽靜。在它的東面不遠(yuǎn)處，蒿榛叢莽的古城垣，依然斷斷續(xù)續(xù)逶迤在伊洛平原之上，勾勤出一座昔日大國(guó)京都的宏偉輪廓。那就是東漢洛陽(yáng)城的舊址。
白馬寺初創(chuàng)于東漢永平十一年（公元68年），是佛教傳入中國(guó)后，由官府正式創(chuàng)建的第一座寺院，是源于南亞次大陸的佛教在遼闊的中華大地賴(lài)以繁榮發(fā)展的第一座菩提道場(chǎng)，故歷來(lái)被佛教界稱(chēng)為釋源”和祖庭”。釋源”即佛教之發(fā)源地，祖庭”即祖師之庭院。它對(duì)佛教在中國(guó)的傳播和發(fā)展，對(duì)促進(jìn)中外思想文化交流和發(fā)展各國(guó)人民的友誼，是起了重要作用的。1961年，國(guó)務(wù)院公布白馬寺為第一批全國(guó)重點(diǎn)文物保護(hù)單位。1983年，國(guó)務(wù)院又公布白馬寺為全國(guó)漢傳佛教重點(diǎn)寺院。前不久，即20xx年6月2日，白馬寺又被國(guó)家旅游局定為國(guó)家4A級(jí)旅游景點(diǎn)。
白馬寺自東漢創(chuàng)建起，到董卓火燒洛陽(yáng)時(shí)第一次被毀，其后興衰毀建，到武則天時(shí)，由主持薛懷義大興土木，達(dá)到了鼎盛。隨后又毀建不斷，最近一次大規(guī)模重修是1972年為迎接柬埔寨西哈努克親王，經(jīng)周總理批示而進(jìn)行的。
現(xiàn)存白馬寺坐北朝南，為一長(zhǎng)方形的院落，總面積約6萬(wàn)平方米左右。門(mén)前有寬闊的廣場(chǎng)。寺內(nèi)的主要建筑，都分布在由南向北的中軸線上。前后有五座大殿，依次為天王殿、大佛殿、大雄殿、毗盧閣，東西兩側(cè)分別有鐘、鼓樓，齋堂、客堂，禪堂、祖堂，藏經(jīng)閣、法寶閣等附屬建筑，左右對(duì)稱(chēng)，布局規(guī)整。山門(mén)前的這兩匹石馬，通高1.8米，身長(zhǎng)2.2米，形象溫馴，雕工圓潤(rùn)。大家可能會(huì)問(wèn)，這兩匹馬是否和白馬寺的創(chuàng)建歷史有關(guān)呢？
關(guān)于白馬寺的創(chuàng)建，最流行的一種說(shuō)法即白馬馱經(jīng)”說(shuō)。據(jù)在關(guān)佛籍記載，東漢永平七年的一天晚上，漢明帝劉莊（劉秀之子）夜宿南宮，夢(mèng)見(jiàn)一個(gè)身高丈六，頭頂放光的金人自西方而來(lái)，在殿庭飛繞。第二天早上，漢明帝召集大臣，把這個(gè)夢(mèng)告訴給大臣們，博士傅毅啟奏道：臣聽(tīng)說(shuō)，西方有神，人們稱(chēng)其為佛，就像您夢(mèng)到的那樣。漢明帝聽(tīng)罷，信以為真，于是就派大臣蔡音、秦景等十余人出使西域拜求佛經(jīng)、佛法。蔡音等人于公元65年，告別帝都，踏上了西天取經(jīng)”的萬(wàn)里征途。在大月氏國(guó)（今阿富汗境至中亞一帶），遇到印度高僧?dāng)z摩騰、竺法蘭，見(jiàn)到了佛經(jīng)和釋迦牟尼佛白氈像，誠(chéng)懇邀請(qǐng)二位高僧東赴中國(guó)弘法布教。永平十年（公元67年），二位印度高僧應(yīng)邀和東漢使者一道，用白馬馱載佛經(jīng)、佛像同返國(guó)都洛陽(yáng)。漢明帝見(jiàn)到佛經(jīng)、佛像，十分高興，對(duì)二位高僧極為禮重，親自予以接待，并安排他們?cè)诋?dāng)時(shí)負(fù)責(zé)外交事務(wù)的官署鴻臚寺暫住。公元68年，漢明帝敕令在洛陽(yáng)西雍門(mén)外三里御道北興建僧院。為紀(jì)念白馬馱經(jīng)之，因此取名白馬寺”。寺”字即源于鴻臚寺之寺”字。再后來(lái)寺”字便成了中國(guó)寺院的一種泛稱(chēng)。
說(shuō)到白馬寺，不少游人都會(huì)把它和唐僧取經(jīng)”的故事聯(lián)系在一起。其實(shí)從時(shí)間上看，白馬寺要比唐僧取經(jīng)”早560多年。
我們眼前的這兩匹石馬，原是宋代太師太保、右衛(wèi)將軍、駙馬都尉魏咸信墓前之物，是兩件優(yōu)秀的宋代石雕作品。1935年前后，主持僧德浩法師重修白馬寺時(shí)，將它們遷置于山門(mén)前。大家看到的這座山門(mén)，為牌坊式歇山頂，建于明代。1987年翻修了頂部，木質(zhì)匾額上的白馬寺”三字，是中國(guó)佛教協(xié)會(huì)原會(huì)長(zhǎng)趙樸初先生題寫(xiě)的。三個(gè)門(mén)洞，象征著佛教所說(shuō)的三解脫門(mén)”佛教稱(chēng)之為涅磐之門(mén)。三個(gè)門(mén)洞都是用磚和青石券砌而成的，部分券石上刻有工匠的姓氏名字，從字體上看此種券石應(yīng)是東漢遺物，是白馬寺內(nèi)現(xiàn)存最早的文物。
白馬寺山門(mén)內(nèi)西側(cè)，有一巨大的半截殘碑，殘高約1.7米，寬1.4米，相傳此碑為宋代翰林學(xué)士、著名文人蘇易簡(jiǎn)撰，因其碑文不是由上到下一長(zhǎng)行通寫(xiě)到底，而是用短行分成幾排寫(xiě)出來(lái)，別具格式，故稱(chēng)斷文碑”，為白馬寺六景之一。
山門(mén)東側(cè)，為元代所遺存的《洛京白馬寺祖庭記》碑，通高3.5米，寬1.15米，碑額洛京白馬寺祖庭記”八字為篆書(shū)。此碑立于元代至順?biāo)哪辏ü?333年），由元代華嚴(yán)名僧仲華文才撰文，內(nèi)有上夢(mèng)金人，自西飛至，身光煒，以遲旦告所夢(mèng)于臣下”，遣遵偕郎中蔡音、秦景等十八人，西訪至天竺，遇沙門(mén)迦攝摩騰、竺法蘭”等句子，碑文稱(chēng)白馬寺為祖庭”和釋源”，并說(shuō)釋源居中天，權(quán)輿佛法之地”，實(shí)為騰、蘭二神僧開(kāi)教之緒”。仲華文才后來(lái)到了佛教四大名山”之一的五臺(tái)山，成為五臺(tái)山名剎佑國(guó)寺的開(kāi)山第一代主持。這篇碑文，應(yīng)是他卓錫白馬寺時(shí)所撰。碑文楷書(shū)，字體瀟灑工整，豐神秀骨，實(shí)為不可多得的書(shū)法藝術(shù)珍品。因此碑不曾留下書(shū)丹者姓名，碑文究竟出自誰(shuí)手，遂成一樁懸案。但字體為趙體”。
前面這座東西對(duì)稱(chēng)的建筑，東側(cè)為新建的鐘樓，鐘樓前有民國(guó)時(shí)期所建的五間門(mén)頭堂”；西側(cè)為新建的鼓樓，鼓樓前有民國(guó)時(shí)所建的云水堂”。門(mén)頭堂”、云水堂”現(xiàn)已辟為佛教法物流通處和旅游接中心。
在鐘樓以東、鼓樓以西，靠近東西兩側(cè)圍墻，分別為攝摩騰、竺法蘭二位印度高僧之墓。二位高僧曾長(zhǎng)期禪居白馬寺內(nèi)譯經(jīng)傳教，在這里他們共同譯出了中國(guó)最早的漢文佛經(jīng)《四十二章經(jīng)》。他們先后圓寂于白馬寺，就葬于寺內(nèi)，現(xiàn)墓前有明代崇禎七年（1634年）所立墓碑，騰蘭墓”也為白馬寺六景之一。
現(xiàn)在我們看到的這座大殿稱(chēng)為天王殿，是白馬寺內(nèi)第一重大殿。此殿因殿內(nèi)供四大天王而得名。迎面而坐的是大肚彌勒佛，他笑容滿面，和藹可親，右手持念珠，左手握布帶，形象生動(dòng)有趣，為明代造像作品。在中國(guó)漢族的佛寺中，第一座大殿通常都供奉彌勒佛。人們進(jìn)入佛寺中，首先看到這一樂(lè)呵呵的形象，會(huì)對(duì)佛門(mén)產(chǎn)生一種親切之感。
佛像上面的這一座大佛龕，共雕有五十多條姿態(tài)各異的龍，雕工細(xì)膩，是清代上乘的木雕藝術(shù)品。
大殿內(nèi)兩側(cè)，分塑四大天王，又叫四大金剛”，分別是東方持國(guó)天王，手持琵芭；南方增長(zhǎng)天王，右手持傘，左手握妖；西方廣目天王，一手握龍，一手持寶珠；北方多聞天王，手托寶塔。按照中國(guó)個(gè)習(xí)慣，一他們手中所持法器不同，他們分別代表著風(fēng)”調(diào)”雨”順”，四大天王身材魁梧，威風(fēng)凜凜，是一組清代泥塑作品。
這尊面北站像為韋駝天將，被稱(chēng)做護(hù)法神”，著武將裝，立于彌勒像后，正對(duì)釋迦牟尼佛，執(zhí)行著維護(hù)講經(jīng)道場(chǎng)，不許邪魔侵?jǐn)_的任務(wù)，也是清代泥塑作品。
在天王殿的東西兩側(cè)，種植著許多石榴樹(shù)。人們說(shuō)五月石榴紅似火”，但在白馬寺卻恰恰相反，因?yàn)檫@里的石榴顏色是白色的。每至農(nóng)歷四五月份，樹(shù)上開(kāi)滿了石榴花，晶瑩潔白，如玉似雪，十分好看，真是五月榴花白如雪”。
大佛殿是白馬寺的第二重大殿，大佛殿前東側(cè)，立有明代嘉靖三十五年（1556年）黃錦撰文的《重修古剎白馬禪寺記》碑。高3.8米，寬1.03米，這方石碑對(duì)研究白馬寺的歷史沿革有重要的參考價(jià)值。
大佛殿是寺內(nèi)主要殿堂，重大的佛事活動(dòng)，均在這里舉行。今存之大佛殿，是明代重建的，雖經(jīng)后世重修，單仍不失明代建筑風(fēng)格。
殿內(nèi)正中佛壇之上供奉著七尊造像，正中釋迦牟尼佛，結(jié)跏趺坐于須彌座上，像高2.4米。
這里的塑像，據(jù)說(shuō)是他最后一次講經(jīng)說(shuō)法時(shí)的形象，此次講經(jīng)，他并不講話，叫做不語(yǔ)說(shuō)法”，只用右手持一朵鮮花，讓眾人猜測(cè)，即所謂涅磐會(huì)上”捻花示眾”。大佛胸口字符號(hào)，表示大佛福德無(wú)量”，萬(wàn)德圓融”，所以身有瑞相，表示吉祥之所集”，武則天定此符號(hào)讀音為萬(wàn)”。
釋迦牟尼的左側(cè)，為大弟子摩訶珈葉，在這次不語(yǔ)說(shuō)法”中，惟有他懂得了佛的真正用意，從而破顏微笑，后來(lái)被推為釋迦牟尼的十大弟子之一，中國(guó)禪宗推崇他為印度傳承的第一代祖師。
右側(cè)站像為大弟子阿難，他博聞強(qiáng)記，被稱(chēng)為多聞第一”，中國(guó)禪宗又推他為在印度傳承佛法的第二代祖師。

“茶葉之都”國(guó)際友好城市聯(lián)盟洛陽(yáng)市位于河南省西部，地處東經(jīng)111°8’——112.59’，北緯33°35' ——35°05'之間，位處亞歐大陸橋東段，橫跨黃河中游南北兩岸，“居天下之中”，素有“九州之腹地”之稱(chēng)。洛陽(yáng)轄6個(gè)區(qū)、1個(gè)縣級(jí)市、8個(gè)縣、:澗西區(qū)、西工區(qū)、老城區(qū)、瀍河回族區(qū)、洛龍區(qū)、伊濱區(qū)、吉利區(qū)、偃師市、孟津縣、新安縣、洛寧縣、宜陽(yáng)縣、伊川縣、嵩縣、欒川縣、汝陽(yáng)縣。洛陽(yáng)下轄經(jīng)濟(jì)功能區(qū):伊濱區(qū)、洛陽(yáng)新區(qū)(正廳級(jí))、洛陽(yáng)國(guó)家高新技術(shù)產(chǎn)業(yè)開(kāi)發(fā)區(qū)(獨(dú)立享有管轄權(quán))、國(guó)家洛陽(yáng)經(jīng)濟(jì)技術(shù)開(kāi)發(fā)區(qū)。
【歷史沿革】
洛陽(yáng)，華夏文明發(fā)源地之一，中國(guó)四大古都之一，世界文化名城，國(guó)務(wù)院首批歷史文化名城，隋唐大運(yùn)河中心城市，是中國(guó)建都時(shí)間最長(zhǎng)，建都朝代較多的千年帝都。洛陽(yáng)是河南省第二大城市，華中區(qū)域性中心城市，中原經(jīng)濟(jì)區(qū)副中心城市，黃河沿岸中心城市，中國(guó)最佳休閑城市，是一座無(wú)愧于國(guó)色天香之美譽(yù)的牡丹花都。洛陽(yáng)也是中國(guó)的老工業(yè)基地之一。
洛陽(yáng)有著數(shù)千年文明史、建城史和建都史，中國(guó)古代伏羲、女?huà)z、黃帝、唐堯、虞舜、夏禹等神話，多傳于此。從夏朝開(kāi)始先后有十三個(gè)王朝在此定都，有105位帝王在洛陽(yáng)指點(diǎn)江山。洛陽(yáng)是我國(guó)歷史上唯一被命名為“神都”(神州大地之首都)的城市。是我國(guó)建都時(shí)間最早，時(shí)間最長(zhǎng)的城市之一。
洛陽(yáng)歷史曾用名或別名，斟鄩、西毫、洛邑、洛師、成周、王城、雒陽(yáng)、中京、伊洛、河洛、河南、洛州、三川。
洛陽(yáng)，立河洛之間，居天下之中，既稟中原大地敦厚磅礴之氣，也具南國(guó)水鄉(xiāng)嫵媚風(fēng)流之質(zhì)。開(kāi)天辟地之后，三皇五帝以來(lái)，洛陽(yáng)以其天地造化之大美，成為天人共羨之神都。洛陽(yáng)代表最早的中國(guó)，也是最本色的中國(guó)、最淵深的中國(guó)。
洛陽(yáng)城，北據(jù)邙山，南望伊闕，洛水貫其中，東據(jù)虎牢關(guān)，西控函谷關(guān)，四周群山環(huán)繞、雄關(guān)林立，因而有“八關(guān)都邑”、“山河拱戴，形勢(shì)甲于天下”之稱(chēng);而且雄踞“天下之中”，“東壓江淮，西挾關(guān)隴，北通幽燕，南系荊襄”，人稱(chēng)“八方輻輳”、“九州腹地”、“十省通衢”。所以歷朝歷代均為諸侯群雄逐鹿中原的皇者必爭(zhēng)之地，成為歷史上最重要的政治、經(jīng)濟(jì)、文化中心。
以洛陽(yáng)為中心的河洛流域地區(qū)是中華文明的發(fā)祥地之一。中國(guó)古代伏羲、女?huà)z、黃帝、堯、舜、禹等大仙居住于此。同時(shí)，洛陽(yáng)也是中國(guó)300多年文明的帝都王城，華夏，中華，中土，中原，中州等稱(chēng)謂均源自于古老的洛陽(yáng)城和河洛文明。1960年在洛陽(yáng)偃師“二里頭遺址”的上層發(fā)現(xiàn)一處規(guī)模宏大的宮殿基址。
洛陽(yáng)共經(jīng)歷十三個(gè)建都朝代，累計(jì)建都史達(dá)千余年。洛陽(yáng)在歷史上曾長(zhǎng)期作為我國(guó)的政治、經(jīng)濟(jì)、文化中心而存在，東漢光武中興、明章之治、西晉太康之治、北魏孝文改制、武周遺風(fēng)在這里上演，歷代帝王貴胄、文人騷客等均對(duì)洛陽(yáng)的都城地位有著極高評(píng)價(jià)。周公曰“此天下之中，四方入貢，道里均焉”;漢高祖曰“吾行天下多矣，唯見(jiàn)洛陽(yáng)”;班固曰“光漢京于諸夏，總八方而為之極”;北魏孝文帝曰“崤函帝宅，河洛王里”;唐太宗曰“崤函稱(chēng)地險(xiǎn)，襟帶壯兩京”;唐玄宗曰“三秦九洛，咸曰帝京”;韋應(yīng)物說(shuō)“雄都定鼎地，勢(shì)據(jù)萬(wàn)國(guó)尊”;宋太祖曰“吾欲遷洛，以據(jù)山河之險(xiǎn)而去冗兵，循周漢故事以安天下也”;司馬光曰“欲知古今興廢事，請(qǐng)君只看洛陽(yáng)城”……
洛陽(yáng)是中華文化的讀本和華夏文化從萌芽、成長(zhǎng)走向繁榮、壯大的中心和象征。據(jù)考證，中國(guó)佛教首傳于洛陽(yáng)白馬寺。以洛陽(yáng)學(xué)子讀書(shū)音確定的中原雅音是古代河南的標(biāo)準(zhǔn)話。洛陽(yáng)是中華姓氏主根、閩南、客家之根。中華民族最早的歷史文獻(xiàn)“河圖洛書(shū)”出自洛陽(yáng)。被奉為“人文之祖”的伏羲氏，根據(jù)河圖和洛書(shū)畫(huà)成了八卦和九疇。從此，湯、武定九鼎于河洛，周公“制禮作樂(lè)”，老子著述文章，孔子入周問(wèn)禮，洛陽(yáng)歷代科學(xué)泰斗、學(xué)術(shù)流派、鴻生巨儒、翰墨精英，更是照耀史冊(cè)，燦若繁星。中國(guó)傳統(tǒng)文化儒、佛、道的產(chǎn)生和發(fā)展與洛陽(yáng)密切相關(guān)，中國(guó)四大發(fā)明與洛陽(yáng)息息相聯(lián)。伏羲，作為人文始祖，發(fā)現(xiàn)了“河圖”與“洛書(shū)”，發(fā)明了“八卦”，成為中華民族的瑰寶，老子著有《道德經(jīng)》，蘇秦佩六國(guó)相印，縱橫游說(shuō)于六國(guó)之間，才子賈誼博懷濟(jì)世文章，班超出使西域，班固修《漢書(shū)》，許慎著《說(shuō)文解字》，司馬光編修《資治通鑒》，張衡發(fā)明渾天儀、地動(dòng)儀，蔡倫發(fā)明造紙術(shù)，虞初的《周說(shuō)》，陳壽的《三國(guó)志》，歐陽(yáng)修的《新唐書(shū)》、《新五代史》等，無(wú)一不是在洛陽(yáng)這塊沃土上完成的。程頤、程顥兄弟開(kāi)創(chuàng)宋代理學(xué)，著名的“建安七子”、“竹林七賢”，“金谷二十四友”等云集此地，譜寫(xiě)華彩篇章，左思一篇《三都賦》，曾使“洛陽(yáng)紙貴”，“洛陽(yáng)才子”，“漢魏文章半洛陽(yáng)”。張衡發(fā)明地動(dòng)儀，蔡倫造紙，馬鈞發(fā)明翻車(chē)……以洛陽(yáng)為中心的河洛文化和河洛文明，是中華民族文化的核心和源頭，構(gòu)成了華夏文明的重要組成部分。

洛陽(yáng)附近的各縣中，跟洛陽(yáng)歷史聯(lián)系最密切的是偃師、孟津、鞏義、登封。其中偃師、孟津從周朝以來(lái)三千年如一日，從未改變。其次是鞏義，從周朝一直到新中國(guó)，也有三千多年。再次是登封，從三國(guó)時(shí)期到新中國(guó)，有1700多年。
【東洛陽(yáng)西羅馬】
洛陽(yáng)是和羅馬并稱(chēng)的世界兩大古都，有著東洛陽(yáng)西羅馬之說(shuō)。羅馬帝國(guó)時(shí)期正是我國(guó)的東漢時(shí)期，東漢首都洛陽(yáng)。當(dāng)時(shí)洛陽(yáng)和羅馬同是世界上最強(qiáng)大國(guó)家的兩個(gè)首都。東漢皇帝派大臣班超出使西域，打通了荒廢已久的絲綢之路，首次將絲綢之路延伸打通到了歐洲延伸到了羅馬。而羅馬亦派使臣順著絲綢之路歷史上首次來(lái)到了中國(guó)，并在東漢京師洛陽(yáng)覲見(jiàn)了大漢皇帝。洛陽(yáng)因此成為了絲綢之路的東方起點(diǎn)。這也是我國(guó)歷史上首次和羅馬交往，所以一直有“東洛陽(yáng)西羅馬”的說(shuō)法。
20__年世界郵展在洛陽(yáng)舉行。期間，大遺址保護(hù)洛陽(yáng)高峰論壇開(kāi)幕，與此同時(shí)，秦漢-羅馬文明展也在洛陽(yáng)拉開(kāi)帷幕，無(wú)數(shù)的羅馬稀世珍寶不遠(yuǎn)萬(wàn)里運(yùn)到洛陽(yáng)，在為期幾天的展覽中，讓參觀者大飽眼福，嘆為觀止，再一次將昔日世界的兩大都市連結(jié)起來(lái)，續(xù)寫(xiě)了西羅馬東洛陽(yáng)的輝煌篇章!
【絲綢之路起點(diǎn)】
東漢時(shí)，漢明帝派遣使臣班超出使西域，打通了荒廢已久的絲綢之路，且首次將絲綢之路延伸打通到了歐洲，到了當(dāng)時(shí)的羅馬帝國(guó)。這是現(xiàn)在完整的絲綢之路的路線，即從東漢時(shí)洛陽(yáng)出發(fā)，最西端到達(dá)當(dāng)時(shí)的歐洲羅馬帝國(guó)。羅馬帝國(guó)也首次派遣使臣順著班超打通的絲綢之路來(lái)到東漢，在京師洛陽(yáng)覲見(jiàn)了大漢皇帝。這是歷史上羅馬和中國(guó)的首次交往。加上羅馬帝國(guó)的時(shí)期和我國(guó)的東漢時(shí)期剛好在時(shí)間上的吻合:東漢(25-220)與西羅馬帝國(guó)(前30-476)，所以一直以來(lái)都有東洛陽(yáng)西羅馬之說(shuō)，這是歷史上分別代表東西方的兩大帝國(guó)首都。而絲綢之路首次將羅馬帝國(guó)和中國(guó)連結(jié)在了一起。 東漢之后，魏晉及隋唐時(shí)期，洛陽(yáng)都是東西方絲綢之路貿(mào)易的起點(diǎn)，這個(gè)跨度之大，時(shí)間之久，意義之大，無(wú)與倫比! 國(guó)學(xué)大師、已逝北京大學(xué)教授季羨林先生說(shuō):“我不止一次的說(shuō)，絲綢之路應(yīng)以洛陽(yáng)為起點(diǎn)。這是個(gè)不刊之論。”
【對(duì)日本重大影響】
京都是仿照唐朝時(shí)的東西兩京洛陽(yáng)和長(zhǎng)安而建，分為左右兩大片區(qū)，一片叫做長(zhǎng)安，一片叫做洛陽(yáng)，后來(lái)由于長(zhǎng)安片區(qū)一蹶不振，而洛陽(yáng)片區(qū)繁榮似錦，所以后來(lái)整個(gè)京都都叫洛陽(yáng)�，F(xiàn)在京都有幾大區(qū)，分別為:洛中、洛東、洛北、洛西等。學(xué)校、醫(yī)院、會(huì)社、企業(yè)等機(jī)構(gòu)都多以洛陽(yáng)為前綴。古時(shí)候去京都，都叫做上洛或進(jìn)洛等。這是我國(guó)古都對(duì)日本產(chǎn)生影響的體現(xiàn)和結(jié)果，也是我國(guó)對(duì)外國(guó)城市命名產(chǎn)生的重大影響!
【牡丹花】
洛陽(yáng)牡丹始于隋，盛于唐，甲天下于宋。 “天下名園重洛陽(yáng)”，“洛陽(yáng)牡丹甲天下”，“洛陽(yáng)地脈花最宜，牡丹尤為天下奇”，“唯有牡丹真國(guó)色，花開(kāi)時(shí)節(jié)動(dòng)京。牡丹是我國(guó)傳統(tǒng)名花，花蕾碩大，色澤艷麗，國(guó)色天香，自古就有富貴吉祥、繁榮昌盛的寓意，代表著中華民族泱泱大國(guó)之風(fēng)范,。
牡丹從隋代落戶(hù)洛陽(yáng)西苑后，地脈適宜，開(kāi)得繽紛美麗、艷冠天下。
唐代洛陽(yáng)是陪都，武則天當(dāng)皇帝時(shí)就在洛陽(yáng)登基，并在洛陽(yáng)主持政務(wù)。“自唐武則天后，洛陽(yáng)牡丹始盛�！� (宋·歐陽(yáng)修《洛陽(yáng)牡丹記》)。從武則天時(shí)期到開(kāi)元年間(公元690年至公元741年)，還有唐貞元、元和年間(公元785年至公元820年)，是中國(guó)牡丹史上一個(gè)黃金時(shí)代，奠定了中國(guó)牡丹發(fā)展和牡丹文化興盛的堅(jiān)實(shí)基礎(chǔ)。
