Tian’anman
Tian’anmen is located in the center of Beijing. It was first built in 1417and was originally called the Chengtianmen. In 1651during the Qing dynasty, it was rebuilt and the name was changed to Tian’anmen. Chairman Mao Zedong’s portrait(肖像) is hung above the central entrance. There are two slogans(标语), one is “Long Live the People’s Republic of China” and the other is “Long Live the Great Unity of the People of the World”.It was on this gate that our late Chairman Mao Zedong proclaimed(宣布 )to the whole world the founding of the People’s Republic of China on Oct 1st 1949. Since then Tian’anmen Rostrum(天安门城楼)has been the symbol of new China.
