Temple of Solitary Joy is located at inside west city gate of Ji County, Tianjin City. It is known for its refined architecture skill in Channel's ancient buildings and has got the reputation of Six Best. These are: The earliest Dingshan Gate (Gate of Withstanding Hill) of the ground hall preserved now; The earliest Chiwei object on the Hill Gate preserved now; The earliest plane distribution which took pavilion as the center on the architecture plane; The biggest clay sculptured statue of Avalokiteavara inside a pavilion in China; The Avalokiteavara is also the most ancient high storeyed one; The more precious fact is that the Temple of Solitary Joy has stood unscathed after thousand years of rain, snow, wind and frost and 28 big attacks, hence the most durable ancient Monastery of thousand years.
Entering the Temple , the first comes to sight is 10 m high gate, on the arch of which there hangs a horizontal inscribed board: Temple of Solitary Joy. The single eaves ground hall roof was the roof building form during the western Tsin (AD265-316) and Southern and Northern Dyansty (420-5) period, which was called Siadading in ancient time and now it is called big roof. On the two ends of the plane ridge, there are inward Chiweis. Chi denoted sparrow hawk in ancient time, which is a kind of fierce bird. The stand base of the gate is comparatively low, but the hall pinnacle is much higher above eaves and the pottery animal figures look sturdy; solemn and sturdy. There is no ceiling inside the pinnacle, therefor the painted beam and purlieus are visible. The whole piece is exquisitely wrought, simple arranged and skillfully done, for which people gasp in administration.
Crossing the gate, one comes to the core building - Avalokitesvara Pavilion, 23 m in height. Form outside appearance, it is two storeyed, but inside there is a hidden storey, thus three storeyed in fact. On the eaves corners, pottery unicorns are sculptured, on which little Buddha statues ride. Copper bells are hung under eaves corners, swaying with the wind, a specially refined scene. The most attractive thing is the structure of Dougong (sets of brackets on top of the columns supporting the beams within and roof eaves without――each set consisting of tiers of outstretching arms called Gong, cushioned with trapezoidal blocks called Dou). It is made of overlapping Dougong shaped wood blocks and bow shaped horizontal wood bars by adopting 24 forms with each layer stretching out as bracket, big in upper part and small in lower part, thinly scattered, steady and sturdy. It makes eaves of the pavilion look like flying, far and deep in the sky, a beautiful and magnificent view.
Entering the Avalokitesvara Pavilion, the very sight is a huge standing Avalokitesvara Statue. If one stands by it, his height is only up to her ankle. The Statue, 16.27 m in height, is the biggest clay sculpture of Avalokitesvara in China. Two statues of attendant Bodhisattvas under the knee of Avalokitesvara are also 3 m in height. On the crown of the head of Avalokitesvara, there are 10 small Avalokitesvare's heads, hence it is called 11 faces Avalokitesvara. Reviewing around the inner part of the pavilion, one can discover that pillars of high and low storeys are not directly linked through, but the pillars of the upper storey are inserted into the arch head of that of lower storey. The upper storey of the pavilion is in a form of six corners empty well, while the lower storey is in a form of square empty well. This kind of structure is not only beautiful and strong, but also adds the space of the upper part of Budha statues. On the four walls inside the pavilion, colorful murals are painted, the theme of which is the images of 16 Arhats and 2 Ming Dynasty Emperors, which are the earliest subjects of Buddhism. On he murals, 2 m high Arhats with 3 heads and 4 arms are extremely lifelike and Ming Emperors on the four walls are full of power and grandeur. On the upper part of the murals, there are mountains, forest, cloud and river, while on the lower part, there are paintings of secular themes with vivid and natural lines, which embody the superb the skill and arts of painting of ancient Buddhism in China.
各位朋友们：
大家好!
我们今天要游览的就是位于天津蓟县的独乐寺。独乐寺俗称大佛寺，坐落于天津蓟县城西门内武定街41号，始建于唐代，辽统和二年(984)重建，是我国古代木结构建筑的代表作。它是1961年第一批公布的全国重点文物保护单位。
关于独乐寺名称的由来，有三种说法。一种说法是唐玄宗时，安禄山起兵叛唐，在此誓师，因他一心想做皇帝，“思独乐而不与民同乐”故而命名;另一种说法是观音塑像内部支架是由一棵大杜梨树切削而成，以谐音而;还有一种说法是佛家清新寡欲，独以普渡众生为乐，取其首尾得名“独乐寺”。
现在我们到了独乐寺。眼前的这座建筑就是独乐寺的山门。山门正中匾额楷书“独乐寺”，字体苍劲雄浑，为明朝武英殿大学士、太子太师严嵩所书。山门面阔三间，进深两间，中间做穿堂。山门前两稍间是两尊辽代彩色泥塑金刚力士站像，民间俗称他们为“哼哈二将”，东侧的是哼将，高4.5米，西侧的为哈将，高4.45米。我们看这两尊金刚力士，上身袒露，肌肉隆起，下身着裙，右手握剑，赤足站立，身材高大，加之身体前倾近20度，虎视眈眈，令人生畏。
山门内金柱间原有大门，现在只剩下门框和门槛。这道门槛也是观音阁的视野分界线。站在门槛外，只能看见观音阁局部;迈过门槛，则大阁全貌尽收眼底，犹如画中，令人称奇。实际上，这种建筑手法是借用了古代园林构景手段中的“框景”的手法。迈过门槛，我们看到山门的后稍间东西两侧墙壁上是清代绘制的“四大天王”的彩色壁画。他们各个手持法器，怒目而视，东西南北各护一方，取其法器寓意为“风、调、雨、顺”，反映出古代人民希望好年景，企盼五谷丰登的美好愿望。
穿过山门，眼前一座巍峨挺拔的楼阁平地崛起，这就是独乐寺的主体建筑——观音阁，是我国现存最古老的木结构楼阁式建筑。观音阁为九脊歇山顶，它的高度比山门高一倍多。最为引人注目的还是“观音之阁”四个大字的镏金方匾额，它是唐代大诗人李白北游幽蓟时所题，已被列入“全国名匾大全”。
现在大家回过头来再看看山门。看一下它的外部造型。独乐寺的山门高约10米。屋顶呈五条脊、四面坡，建筑学上称为庑殿顶，在古代建筑中，庑殿顶属于最高等级。独乐寺的山门是我国现存最早的庑殿顶山门。我们看山门正脊两端各有一个张口吞脊、长尾翘转向内的饰物，叫做鸱吻，这对鸱吻是我国保存在建筑屋顶上年代最早的鸱吻。
现在大家请随我转过身来，我讲一下观音阁。
观音阁通高23米，东西面阔五间，宽26.7米，南北进深四间，长20.6米。从外表看，大阁为上下两层，实为三层，中间夹一暗层。整座观音阁全部结构是围绕中间的巨型观音像设计。大家看，柱头上一朵一朵的木构件，这就是斗拱。方形木块为“斗”，弓形的短木为“拱”，斜置长木为“昂”，组在一起为斗拱。我们看观音阁的几个檐角出檐深远，主要靠斗拱支撑的。观音阁共使用了24种、152朵斗拱。这些粗壮硕大的斗拱，承接着柱头和出挑的屋檐，分解了柱头的压力，同时也起到装饰作用。
走进观音阁。请大家向上仰视，这就是独乐寺的主像“十一面观音”。这尊巨像站在须弥座上，穿过暗层直达阁顶，呈顶天立地之势，通高16米，居高临下，威严壮观，是我国现存最高大的彩色泥塑站像。观音头上还有十个小头像，所以又称十一面观音。整个观音塑像微向前倾斜，右臂上举，左臂下垂，手作“接引”状。观音像前边有两尊高约3.2米、随时听遣的胁侍菩萨像，她们与主像形成巨大反差，更加突出主像的威严与高大。山门的两尊金刚力士，观音阁内的十一面观音及两侧的胁侍菩萨，这五尊塑像均为独乐寺保存完好的辽代泥塑，为古代雕塑艺术之精品佳作。
大家请看，阁内四周墙壁上，是元代绘制、明代重描的壁画珍品。这组壁画原来被一层厚达1厘米的白灰覆盖，1972年修整观音阁时偶然发现，画面至今色泽艳丽，保存基本完好。壁画以佛教十六罗汉和两明王为主题，是研究佛教历史、古代绘画的珍贵实物。
走出观音阁，我们看到一座八角小亭，它是明代建造的韦驮亭。韦驮原为古印度婆罗门教天部神，在佛涅槃时，捷疾鬼盗取佛牙一双，韦驮急追取回，后来便成为佛教中的护卫天神。亭内韦驮身着铠甲，表情肃穆，双手合十，怀抱金刚杵。独乐寺单独给韦驮设亭的寺院在还是十分罕见的。
绕过了韦驮亭，后面还有报恩院、三世佛殿，东侧还有乾隆行宫。大家可以自由参观。我们下午4点在车上集合。
感谢大家的配合，期待有缘再次相聚。谢谢。

You might as well try, it is widely used in wei-jin period, the frame type structure. Entrance slightly between the north is flanked by guangxu period of four major Kings like drawing. First look at the east: the south, holding the sword; growth lalitasana Oriental lalitasana, holding the pipa hold kingdom. West two honour: north WenTian wu, holding an umbrella more, Western wide eyes lalitasana, hand measures.

On-site interpretation to the end, the following time, everybody can oneself tour.
各位朋友：
大家好!
独乐寺坐落蓟县城武定北侧，它始建于天宝十一年，辽代重建。关于独乐寺的得名，这儿有三种说法，第一种说法是独乐寺的主体修建是十一面观世音的内部，即是一颗参天而立的独梨树；第二种说法是，安禄山起兵反唐，这儿是誓师地，他“盖思独乐而不与民同乐”，故名独乐寺：还有一种说法是,“佛家少私寡欲，独以普渡众生为乐”故名独乐寺。整个独乐寺有三有些组成，东路是清朝皇帝辟建的行宫，西路是僧房，中路由山门，观音之阁，八角亭，卧佛殿，三佛殿组成。全体修建规划简练，主题杰出，雄伟庄重。独乐寺有五个之最：观音阁是中国仅存的最陈旧的木布局高层楼阁；观音像是中国仅存的最大古代泥塑之一；山门为现存最早，等级最高的庑殿顶山门；山门正脊上有最早的鸱吻；独乐寺为第一批全国重点文物维护单位。
如今，我们到站了。
如今我们看到的这个修建即是山门，他高10米，面阔三间，进深两间，中心坐穿堂，两边是稍间。在山门的檐下有一块匾，上书“独乐寺”三个字，为明代大学士严嵩手笔，听说他在北方只留下六个字，别的三个字即是北京的“六必居”三个字。
在山门的前两稍间有两尊辽代的金刚力士站像，也即是我们俗称的哼哈二将，从他们的嘴形和手形可看出，左面这尊沉默，握手为“哼”将，右边张口，伸手为“哈”将，他们都是4.5米高，肌肉拱起，威武雄壮，紧守着山门，他们站在此地现已是一千多年的前史了。我们看这两根中柱的中心，相传曾经有一扇大门，由于年代久远，这门及应不存了，但这儿是山门和观音之阁的分界线，站在门槛这一边看观音之阁，只能看到部分，跨过门槛一步，大阁全貌就尽收眼底了。我们无妨试一下，这是魏晋时期，遍及选用的画框式布局。山门北稍间的两边是清光绪年间制作的四大天王像。先看东侧：南边增加天王，手持宝剑；东方持国天王，手持琵琶。西侧的两尊：北方多闻天亡，手持雨伞；西方广目天王，手握银蛇。四大天王手中所持之物组成一个成语“风调雨顺”，表达了中国老百姓的希望。
我们去看一看主体修建。我们面前的即是独乐寺的主体修建“观音之阁”，它通高23米，从外观上看分为上下两层，实际上是三层，在它正中心有一个暗层，整个大阁最杰出的特色是没有一根钉子，都是榫卯布局的，我们看这一朵朵的即是斗拱，方形木块为斗，长条拱木为拱，整个大阁共用了152朵斗拱。大阁的房顶为九脊歇山式，檐下有一块匾额“观音之阁“，它是李白的真迹，这块匾额现已收入全国名匾大全了，下面这块匾额是“具足圆成”它是咸丰的手笔，意思是说里边的观音现已修行满意，具有成佛条件了。
我们从这个方位回头看一下山门，整个山门是由12根粗大的柱子支挺的，柱头悉数向内歪斜。它是中国古修建的一个特色，称为侧角，使修建物愈加安稳，在山门的正脊上有两个饰物，尾巴向内翘起，似鸟非鸟，似鱼非鱼，叫做鸱吻。传说为龙生九子之一，能喷浪成雨，取喷水震火之用。
如今我们走进大阁里边来看一下。在我们面前的即是十一面观音像，它通高16米，站在莲花台上，经过暗层，直达阁顶。观音有33种改变方式。十一面观音为其间一种，这种体裁在别处是肯定看不到的，由于就全国来讲，只要这儿供奉的是十一面观音，它在世界上也仅存13尊。我们看整个观音略向前倾，给人以亲切感。它的两个飘带从手腕处一向垂到莲花台之上，实际上是起了支撑点的作用了。我们说这个观音是泥塑的，并不是说它完全是用泥堆起来的，它的内部有仿人体骨架的木布局，外面雕琢的是泥。十一面观音两旁的是善财，龙女两位胁持菩萨，他们腰部微扭，头顶五佛冠，显得生动活波，给人以真实感，这三尊塑像加上前面的哼哈二将，独乐寺共有5尊辽代的塑像，教授评估独乐寺的前期塑像即是“少而精，艺术价值高”。
在里边来看，每个柱头上都有一个斗拱，整个大阁152朵斗拱，24种方式，散布在大阁各个部位，它恰似人的关节相同，这是观音之阁历经1000多年的风风雨雨，28次地震，仍然安然无恙的缘由之一。
整个大阁是以三大艺术于一堂的，它即是古修建，塑像，通栏布满墙面的五颜六色岩画。这组岩画制作于元代，1972年才发现出来的，本来一向维护在一层泥土里边，它的发现有很高的前史价值，科研价值和艺术价值。它现已被描摹收入国库了，岩画以释教十六罗汉和二天王为主题，间以释教有关的神话故事，尘俗体裁组成一组组各有，又互相相连的巨幅画卷。
现场说明到此结束，下面的时刻，我们能够自个旅游。
