城隍庙

Today we go to the old city of the sea, that is, the location of Yu Gardenand Yu Garden shopping malls.

Our car is driving on the Bund. On your left is the famous Huangpu River.Well be here later.

To save time, I would like to talk about Chinas gardens and Yu Gardenbefore I get to Yu Garden.

In China, gardens are divided into three categories: Royal Gardens, privategardens and temple gardens. Yu Garden belongs to private gardens. There are manyskills in Chinese garden, such as borrowing scenery, blocking scenery and so on.But they are all made up of four basic factors. The four factors are water,plants, architecture and rockery. Most of the private gardens are in the southof the Yangtze River, because there are many water sources and rocks suitablefor rockery. Yu Garden was built more than 400 years ago in the Ming Dynasty.The owner of the garden, whose surname is pan, is a senior official. He builtthe garden to please his parents and let them enjoy their old age. Therefore,the word "Yu" of Yu Garden takes the meaning of Yuyue. It is a pity that hisparents could finally see the death of Yu Garden. In the late Qing Dynasty, thepan family was weak, and their descendants sold the garden to local guilds.There is another reason why Yu Garden has become a place of interest. In 1853,an uprising broke out in Shanghai, and a hall in the garden was used as aheadquarters. Today Yu Garden is a must. So I suggest that we dont getseparated when we get there. Its better for us to stay together, OK?

This is the parking lot. In case someone gets separated, please rememberthat the last three digits of the train number are 121. I think its better notto do that. I will hold the little red flag, and you will all accompany Mr.Zhang to the rear of the hall. Are you ready? Lets go. Please pay attention toyour bike when you get off.

Ladies and gentlemen, this is the famous Jiuqu bridge. Why nine? Becauseits the highest number of Yang. Walk on the bridge and stay for a long time.You can also enjoy the scenery from different angles. Also, it is said thatghosts can only walk in a straight line, so you dont have to worry aboutmeeting ghosts.

In the middle of the bridge, there is a pavilion, which was built in theQing Dynasty and was converted into a teahouse about 80 years ago. Old peoplelike to come here in the morning, meet friends, make a pot of tea and chat.Generally, they drink a kind of green tea called "Longjing". This teahouse isalso a popular place for foreign leaders. For example, when Queen Elizabeth IIcame to Shanghai in 1986, she also visited teahouses for tea.

Indeed, its a pleasure to drink a pot here. Just imagine, one summer, youcome to a teahouse and sit by the window, overlooking the green pool full oflotus. There was a cool breeze in front of me. In the elegant sound of JiangnanSilk and bamboo, you bring up the purple clay pot and slowly sip a sip oflukewarm "Longjing" tea. Youll feel like a fairy.

Would you like a drink, too? Sorry, I still cant let you go. Lets make adecision after we finish Yu Garden, OK?

This is the entrance to Yu Garden. When you walk into a private garden,your sight will always be blocked by something, sometimes rockery, sometimes thewall. This is a skill of landscape architecture, which is called barrierlandscape. It doesnt let you know in a day, but let you see part of it, andthen achieve the effect of "step by step Jingyi".

This hall is called Yangshan hall. As we all know, Shanghai is located inan alluvial plain, with no mountains or forests. So this "mountain" refers tothe rockery opposite. It is 12 meters high and weighs 80 tons. It was, and is, amiracle. Because there was no cement or plaster of Paris more than 400 yearsago, people used cooked glutinous rice, alum and lime to stick the stonestogether. So far, Im safe and sound. See the pavilion on the top of themountain? 400 years ago, it was the highest point in Shanghai. From there youcan see fishing boats and sailboats on the Huangpu River, but these can only beseen in movies today. You can only see their heads moving up. Because thecircling paths are covered by trees and stones. This is really the masterpieceof Zhang Nanyang, a great horticultural master. It is also recognized as thebest rockery in the area.

Behind the rockery, there is a dragon wall. This is a special feature ofour garden. There are five dragon walls. This way, Ill take you to a placewhere you can see another Dragon Wall clearly.

Ladies and gentlemen, this is the dragon wall I just mentioned. Dragons areactually imaginary animals. We call ourselves the descendants of the dragon. Idont know if you have read Pearl Bucks Dragon seed. If you have seen it, thereare a lot of things here that you feel familiar with. Look at this dragon, youwill find that it is a complex of many animals. You see, its head is like a cow,its eyes are like shrimp, and its horns are like I dont think it looks like acow. We usually say that the horns are like deer, the body is like snake, thescales are like fish, and the claws are like chicken or eagle. Please tell mehow many toes you see. Three yes. But generally a dragon should have five toes.Why three? One of them is a story. Before, only the emperor and the royal familyhad dragon designs. Pan yunduan, the owner of the garden, uses a dragon as awall. He is ambitious. Somehow, when the emperor learned about it, he sentsomeone to investigate. When pan yunduan learned about it, he immediately madepeople knock off two toes. As soon as the officials arrived, the gardener said,"look, this is not a dragon, only three toes." What a smart man, or helldie.

Here we can see three stones. The one in the middle is called "yulinglong".Its not jade, but its very famous. Its called Taihu stone. Its appearance iseroded by water. It turned out to be a tribute to song Weizong. Song Weizongcollected many rare flowers and stones, which were called "huashigang". But howdid you come here? Originally, it was lost in Kyoto at that time. Many yearslater, it became a plaything for local officials and gentry. Later, he gave thestone to pan yunduan as a dowry because Pans brother married his daughter.Yulinglong is famous for its thin, transparent, wrinkled and leaky features. Ifyou pour water from top to bottom. Its 72 holes are like a waterfall; if youburn incense below, its 72 holes are misty and beautiful. The master of thegarden used to gaze at the stone for a long time. This is also one of thefunctions of the garden. A scene makes you meditate, and the result is thecombination of emotion and night.

This is the end of the Yu Garden tour. I hope the children will love it.Finally, you have to make a choice: tea or shopping. I think its a show ofhands. How many people want to taste tea? Ha, all of them want to go? What?Would I like to? To tell you the truth, thats just what I want. So what are wewaiting for? Lets go!

The places of historic interest and scenic beauty are the Yu Garden,located in the northeast of Shanghai, old Chengxiang, North Road, Anren street,southwest and Shanghai old temple.

In the park, there are three famous stones of the south of the YangtzeRiver called the jade Linglong, the command point of the 1853 knives uprising,the spring hall, and the tourist attractions of Town Gods Temple and shoppingstreet on the side of the park.

Yu Garden began to open to the public in 1961. In 1982, it was listed as anational key cultural relic protection unit by the State Council.

Yu Garden was originally a private garden in the Ming Dynasty. It was builtin Jiajing and Wanli years. It has been over four hundred years as of 20__.

Pan yunduan, the owner of the garden, was the chief minister of Sichuan.His father pan en, whose name is Zi Ren, was named Lijiang. He was an officialin duchayuan, the censor of zuodou and the Minister of punishment. The panfamily was the wangmen family in Shanghai at that time. In 1553 (the 32nd yearof Jiajing reign of the Ming Dynasty), the nine mile long wall of Shanghai wasbuilt, which gradually calmed down the Japanese invasion along the southeastcoast. For more than 20 years, the people of Shanghai, whose lives and propertywere often threatened, gained a little stability, and the social economyrecovered and began to prosper. The literati built gardens one afteranother.

Pan en resigned in his old age and returned to his hometown. In order tolet his father live in his old age, pan yunduan began to build gardens onseveral vegetable fields in the west of the Shichun Hall of the pan familyshouse in 1559. After more than twenty years of painstaking efforts, Yu Gardenhas been built. "Yu" has the meaning of "peace" and "Antai". It is named "YuGarden" and has the meaning of "Yuyue old relatives".

At that time, the Yu Garden was over 70 acres, designed by Zhang Nanyang, afamous gardener in Ming Dynasty, and personally involved in the construction.The ancients praised Yu Garden "Qi Xiu Jia in Southeast" and "southeast famousgarden crown".

Pan yunduans family declined in his later years. Pan yunduan died in1620__ (the 29th year of Wanli in the Ming Dynasty), and his family graduallydeclined, unable to bear the huge expenses of garden repair and management. Atthe end of the Ming Dynasty, Yu Garden was made for Zhang Zhaolin. From then to1760 (twenty-five years of Qianlong emperor), in order not to annihilate thisscenic spot, some local gentry merchants gathered money to buy Yu Garden, andspent more than twenty years to rebuild the terrace and build the mountainstone. At that time, the East Garden in Town Gods Temple was East, that is,todays inner garden, and the Yu Garden was slightly West. Shanghai Yu Gardenancient pavilion landscape

In 1842, twenty-two years ago, the first Opium War broke out, and foreigninvaders invaded Shanghai. The British army took over the Yu Garden and ravagedit. In 1853, in response to the Taiping Revolution, Shanghai Xiaodao Societylaunched an uprising in Shanghai. After the uprising failed, the Qing soldiersburned and looted in the city, and the Yu Garden was severely damaged. Thebuildings such as the spring hall, the fragrant snow hall, the osmanthus flowerhall, the moon house and so on were all on fire.

In 1860 (ten years of Qing Xianfeng), the Taiping Army marched intoShanghai. The Manchu government colluded with the British and French invaders,took Town Gods Temple and Yu Garden as a garrison outside the army, excavatedstones and filled pools in the garden, and built western style military houses.After 1875, the whole garden was divided into more than 20 industrial andcommercial industries in Shanghai, such as bean and rice industry, sugarindustry, cloth industry and so on. On the eve of liberation, the Yu Gardenpavilions were dilapidated, the rockery collapsed, the pool dried up, the treeswithered, and the old landscapes were gradually annihilated.

Since 1956, Yu Garden has carried out a large-scale renovation, whichlasted for five years and opened to the public in September 1961. Now Yu Gardenoccupies an area of over thirty acres, with varied pavilions, lofty mountainsand trees, and green trees. It is beautiful and exquisite, exquisitely carvedand long, and has the characteristics of small and medium sized. It reflects theartistic style of the two dynasties Jiangnan garden architecture in Ming andQing Dynasties.

Yu Garden was listed as a municipal cultural relic protection unit in 1959.Yu Garden was opened to the public in 1961. In February 1982, it was publishedby the State Council as a national key cultural relic protection unit.

Cuixiu hall was built in 1760. It is hidden deep in the north foot of therockery. It faces a cliff and faces a high wall in the north. It is surroundedby ancient wood and beautiful flowers. The environment is quiet and elegant. Youcan have a close view of the rockery by pushing the window in the hall. Nowthere is an antique shop.

"Gradually getting better" comes from the biography of Gu Kai in the bookof Jin, which is fascinating. The corridor is paved with stone slabs, with asmall bridge in the middle and geese on both sides. You can watch the scenery ofthe mountains and rivers. In the middle of the corridor stands a Taihu Lakestone peak, about 2.3 meters high and graceful, so it is called "beautywaist".

The iron lion of the Yuan Dynasty is located in front of the corridor of"getting better". Left female and right male, cast in 1290, the base bears theinscription of "Zhao Zhang, craftsman of Tongshan Town, Anyang County, ZhangdePrefecture" and "xigengyin, 27 years old from the state of yuan, October28".

Built with thousands of tons of Huangshi from Wukang, Zhejiang Province,the rockery was carefully designed and built by Zhang Nanyang, a famous mountainmaker in the Ming Dynasty. It is also his only surviving work. The height of themountain is about 14 meters. Pan Yunduans evaluation of the big rockery in thebook of Yu Garden is: "it is very pleasant to watch."

Yangshan hall is composed of five couplets. In the north, there is anambulatory and a curving sill near the pool. You can sit and rest. In the hall,there is a plaque of "here are lofty mountains" recorded in the preface toLanting by Wang Xizhi of Jin Dynasty. The name of juanyu building comes from thepoem "the curtain of pearls is rolling rain in the West Mountain" in tengwanggeby Wang Bo, a poet of the early Tang Dynasty.

Sansui hall was built in 1760 when the west garden was rebuilt. It is 9meters high. It is one of the main buildings in the garden. In the Qing Dynasty,it was a place for official celebrations and "preaching the oracle", and also agathering place for the local gentry.

The "famous Marine Park" was held in May 18, 1999 by Comrade __ of the CPCCentral Committee and __ and __ to celebrate the 440th anniversary issue of YuGarden construction.

Ginkgo tree is 21 meters high, with dense branches and leaves. It is saidthat it was planted by the owner of the garden for more than 400 years.

The four corners of Wanhua building have the pattern of plum, orchid,bamboo and chrysanthemum, and the four windows are leaky. There are many windingsills around the corridor. Beside the white wall, there are stone peaks andgreen bamboos.

There is a small pavilion at the east end of the corridor. When you lookdown on it, you can see the clear spring like a mirror. When you look across thecliff, you can see the stone peak standing on the wall. Facing the mountain andfacing the water, you can see the ancient peoples taste of "two suitable formountain and water". So its called liangyixuan. In the north there is abuilding named Yifang, which is shaped like an ancient boat.

The corridor is separated by a wall in the middle and can walk on bothsides. There are leaky windows of different shapes on the wall. From the leakywindows, you can see the terrace on the left and the peak stone on the right,just like a picture sketch. The west end of the corridor is connected with aSquare Pavilion. There is a plaque in the pavilion, which says "understanding isnot far away".

Around the Yule Pavilion, there are towering ancient trees. You can see thefish swimming in the pool by the fence. The watersheds on XieJian stream reflectthe characteristics of Jiangnan gardens. The stream is only a few feet long. Theflower wall divides the stream into two. There are leaky windows andsemicircular openings on the wall. Next to the fish Pavilion, there is aWisteria tree that has passed more than three hundred years of spring andautumn. In the early spring of each year, its branches are full of small whiteflowers.

Genial hall and Dianchun hall are separated from each other by water. Thehall is square and open around. A set of furniture on display in the hall,including tables, chairs, tables and decorative Phoenix and Kirin, are all madeof banyan roots and have a history of more than 100 years. There are stone stepsleading to the listening Oriole Pavilion.

"Da Chang Tai" is also called "Feng Wu Luan Yin". The stage is close to themountain and water. The eaves in front of the stage are exquisitely carved andpainted with gold and color. On the stone pillars around the stage, there arecouplets depicting the scenery of spring, summer, autumn and winter.

In the southeast of dianchuntang, there are lakes, rocks, rockeries,clouds, water and rocks, and deep caves. On the mountain, there are double-layerpavilions; the upper layer is called Kuailu, and the lower layer is calledYanshuang Pavilion. From Kuailu to the south, there are jingyixuan and TingliPavilion, surrounded by flower walls, forming a small courtyard.

Chuanyun dragon wall is located in the west of Dianchun hall. The dragonhead is made of clay, and the dragon body is made of tiles. There are alsoseveral dragon walls in the garden: Wolong behind the rockery, Shuanglong Xizhuin the west of the genial hall, and mianlong in front of the inner garden.

The whole building of Dianchun hall is a five bay hall with characterscarved on the fans. The beams and columns are of peculiar shapes and decoratedwith gold foil. After the hall, there is a water Pavilion in linchi, on whichthere is a plaque saying "feifeiyue". Dianchun hall was built in the early yearsof Daoguang reign in the Qing Dynasty. It was once the place for Fujian foreignmerchants to worship gods in Shanghai. It is commonly known as "HuatangGongshu". During the Xiaodaohui uprising, this was the headquarters of theuprising army in the north of the city. One of the leaders of the Xiaodaohui,the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, recruited Marshal Chen Alin to work here andissued a decree, which was called "dianchuntang mansion". After the failure ofthe uprising, Dianchun hall was seriously damaged. In 1868, it was rebuilt andcompleted in four years. There is a large traditional Chinese painting "swordview" by Ren Bonian, a painter of the late Qing Dynasty. On both sides of thepainting are couplets written by the calligrapher Shen Yinmo: "courage embracesemptiness, and heart is the source of essence.". The hall also displays theweapons used by the rebel army, self coined coins, sun and moon coins, as wellas the announcement and other cultural relics.

Because both sides of the pavilion are facing water, the meaning of"flowing cup and flowing water" is taken from preface to Lanting. On the side ofthe pavilion, there are three curved slab bridges, built with water. West ofSanqu Banqiao is Huanyun rockery. The mountain is made of Lake stones, withdeyuelou in the north and Qingquan in the West. There are springs in the cave,and streams flow out of the cave.

各位游客：大家好!

欢迎来到上海城隍庙参观，我是这里的x导游，希望能在后面的讲解中给大家的游览带来很好的帮助。

城隍庙

上海立县之前，在镇西约 6 里处的淡井里，有一座华亭城隍行殿，俗称淡井庙。建县后经过一百五十余年，明永乐年间 (1403—1424) 才将方洪北岸原金山神庙加以扩充，改为上海县城隍庙。相传，城隍是道家保护城池的神，同时也庇佑着市民，城隍庙是地方神的祭祀之地，城隍神则多为生前有惠于民的清官良吏，以期其殁后也能为民“御大灾、捍大患”。上海城隍庙其前身原为金山神主、西汉大司马霍光神祠，故今庙内前殿仍由霍光坐镇，后殿供奉上海城隍神秦裕伯，民间俗称“一庙二城隍”，国内罕见。

沉香阁

位于城隍庙西北面的沉香阁，原由豫园主人潘允端所建。潘允端于明万历二十八年(1600 年)督办漕运疏浚淮河打捞沉船时觅得一尊精美观音佛像，甚为喜欢，又于当夜梦见其母嘱托，即派人护送佛像回上海建阁供奉。因佛像由名贵海琼水沉香木雕制，芳香十分浓郁，故名“沉香阁”(据考，该佛像系隋代大业年间南洋赤土国回赠隋炀帝之礼，在淮河中遇风浪沉没，已卧伏河底近千年)。明代之后，沉香阁迁址重建，曾改名为“慈云禅寺”，拥有丛林寺院规模，与龙华、静安、玉佛三大名刹齐名今沉香观音虽非原像，但仍形神兼具、仪态万方，为佛中珍品，香火终日兴盛。阁内现还开设尼众班，已成为全国最大的比丘尼寺院之一。

豫园花园

明代豫园为沪上重要的传统旅游胜地，享有“奇秀甲于东南”之誉。该园由明代进士、曾任四川布政史的上海籍人士潘允端于 1559年(明嘉靖 38年)始建，有“愉悦双亲”之意。初占地 70余亩，曾盛极一时，后几经战乱，现尚存 30余亩。园中布局精致、景色宜人。亭台楼阁参差错落，曲经回廊交相掩映，池水萦绕与假山怀抱，名贵花木与奇石争辉，尽显“江南名园”之风范，并留有清代上海著名“小刀会”起义的遗址。

大假山是豫园景色的精华所在，也是江南园林中黄石假山的典范之作，由明代最具权威的叠山名家张南阳精心设计，并亲自参与建造，用数千吨浙江武康的黄石堆砌而成。

玉华堂前的“玉玲珑”是江南三大名石之一，也是豫园中的瑰宝。古人品评石之高下，有“皱、漏、透、瘦”四个标准，玉玲珑则四者俱佳，而以“透、漏”论之，更是冠盖全国，称誉海内外。豫园中有许多砖雕、泥塑、不仅历史悠久，而且十分精美。

豫园中的名树古木也为数众多，百年以上的古树就有三十余棵。园中最古老的树是万花楼前的银杏树，高寿已四百余年。

当代大诗人郭沫若一九六一年参观豫园时，写下了“玲珑玉垒千钧重，曲折楼台万姓游。坐使湖山增彩色，豫园有史足千秋”的诗句。

湖心亭、九曲桥

典雅、别致的九曲桥，与湖心亭相依相伴成为上海的标志之一。人们行走在桥上弯来拐去、斗折蛇行、移步换景。而曲桥为什么以“九”为数呢?按中国人民的传统习俗，九是阳数最高的数，具有吉利之意，故取名“九曲桥”，实有取其吉祥如意之意。民间更是流传着“儿童走九曲，幸运久久久;学子走九曲、考分九十九;情侣走九曲，天长而地久;老翁走九曲，活到九十九”的民谣。

湖心亭、九曲桥

典雅、别致的九曲桥，与湖心亭相依相伴成为上海的标志之一。人们行走在桥上弯来拐去、斗折蛇行、移步换景。而曲桥为什么以“九”为数呢?按中国人民的传统习俗，九是阳数最高的数，具有吉利之意，故取名“九曲桥”，实有取其吉祥如意之意。民间更是流传着“儿童走九曲，幸运久久久;学子走九曲、考分九十九;情侣走九曲，天长而地久;老翁走九曲，活到九十九”的民谣

上海地区供奉城隍由来已久。早在宋淳佑七年(1247)，华亭即立城隍庙。上海在置县前，也供祀城隍于淡井庙，以作为华亭县城隍行殿，后人称老城隍。明朝开国后，于洪武二年(1369)，诏封天下州县城隍府神为显佑伯。

相传上海的城隍神姓秦，名裕伯，字景容。为宋代尤图阁学士秦观八世孙。元时累官至福建行省郎中。元末避兵扬州，转徙上海。当时占据苏州的张士城派人前往招用，为其拒绝。吴元年及洪武初年，朱元璋几次淮备起用秦裕伯，秦均称疾不出。初定天下的朱元璋对于秦裕伯隐卧上海甚感不安，这位生性多疑的皇帝深虑由此“海邦不靖”，即下手渝：“海浜民好斗，裕伯智谋之士而居此地，坚守不起，恐有后悔。”手谕的意思十分明白，秦裕伯只得应召人朝，次年拜待制，旋为治书待御史。洪武三年，设科取士，与刘基同为京畿主考官。洪武六年(1373)病卒，葬于上海长寿里。为“释主疑，明民志，不惜一身之去就，为国人请命也”，因而，海滨之民怀着感激与敬重，奉祀其为城隍神。

永乐年间，上海知县张守钓将原位于县西北的霍光行祠改建成具城隍庙。据至元《嘉禾志》引《吴越备史》载，相传吴王孙皓病重时，有神附体一小黄门，对孙皓言道：“华亭谷东南有盐塘，风潮为害，非人为所能防。臣本汉霍光也，愿统部属镇之。”遂立庙祀汉博陆侯霍光，是为上海祀奉霍光之始。

上海的霍光行祠又常称为金山神庙。金山庙改成城隍府后，前殿仍奉祀金山神霍光坐像，后殿则供奉秦裕伯。改建之初，城隍庙规模尚小，以后历代都有所修葺。全盛时，包括有大殿、中殿、寝宫、星宿殿、阎王殿、财神殿、文昌殿等殿堂。清康熙四十八年(1709)，在庙侧起造东园。乾隆时，由全县士商捐纳，购潘氏豫园故址，归城隍庙，称西园。重加兴修，所费资产累巨万，极泉石之美，以作娱神乐神之用。府基一度达70亩，称盛一时。其时，江南奉祀城隍“尤谨”，开堂皇崇，寝阁羽卫，“庙制辄拟古诸侯，又极池台园囿之观，吴越所在者皆然，而上海为尤盛”。与盛大的庙宇相一致，上海人对于城隍神有着特别虔城的奉祀：先是松江民俗，每重祷献，而于城隍庙尤甚，如祈病祈福，富室用全猪羊，贫者用三牲首，日元虚晷，佥云城隍有炅，能祸福人，别府铯无此事。除夕日，家家户户备牲醴，前往城隍庙瞻拜。牲醴香烛，源源而来，香火称旺一时。每年清明、中元、十月朔，城隍神出巡祭厉坛，迎送间，彩旗、灯幡、鼓乐、戏妓、烟火、舆马，备极豪华、隆重，“虽王侯不能拟，官府不能禁”。历经数世，在沪人的心目中，上海的城隍神“御灾捍患，素者威灵”，士民对其感恩戴德。清代曹一士曾应邑民之请，为城隍神作《颂序略》，其中记载了送样一则故事：顺治十年秋，一直在海上坚持抗清斗争的张名振引兵人吴淞。苏州总兵王?时掌军务，督战上海，见对方旌旗蔽空，海艘鱼贯而入，一时竟不知所措。是役，清兵溃败。不久，江宁巡抚周国佐按临上海，王?深恐其畏敌逃避之迹败露，遂先发友制人，诬告上海百姓犯通海之罪。周国佐信以为真，决定屠城，淮备从南浦至静安寺，承数烧杀。上海知县阎绍庆及乡绅曹垂灿等闻知，急忙赶赴抚台行营，长跪陈请，愿以全家百口性命为保。自朝至暮，再三恳求。周国佐仍一意孤行，下令鸡鸣时分纵戮。夜半，城隍神显形巡抚官廨，朱袍象简，赫立阶下，周国佐见之，心意稍动。稍顷，城隍神又显形，对着周国佐“直视摇首者数四”。于是，周国佐收回屠城之令，全城百姓终于免遭屠戮。这一传说，反映出上海的老百姓已将能保有家室、安享太平归功于城隍神之赐。

也有说城隍作为神，是由《礼记》中所渭“天子大蜡八”而来。天子要祭八种神，其中有“坊”与“水庸”，大略是对城堑、护城沟渠之祭，这是对城市守护神的祭札。明代人陆容《菽园杂记》卷五谈到了城隍之祀：城隍之在祀典，古无之。后世以高城深池，捍外卫内，必有神主之，始有祠事。惑于理者，衣冠而肖之，加以爵号，前代因袭，其来久矣。后世的城隍正是被赋予了城市守妒神的面目与功能，御灾难，安生聚，垂丰穰，庇百姓。城隍庙亦就因此成为一个城市不可或缺的祭典埸所。地方官府朔望进香，祈晴祷雨，并常藉以宣讲乡钓。士庶禳病祈福，牲醴香楮，祷献报赛。这也就难怪城隍庙庙宇崇闳，香火繁盛。

自清末以来，上海的城隍庙又多出一重功能。当时辟出西园的部分，租于商家。此例一开，园中广设商店，竟成集市，城隍庙各种土特产、美味食品的声名不胫而走。另外，东、西园园囿之胜号称一邑之冠，游赏者颇多。各种花会，如四月下旬兰花会，九月中旬菊花会等，常设于东、西园，各神庙会、灯会又常以城隍庙为盛。三月二十八日，传乃城隍夫人诞，上海街巷悬灯亦一如天后。

作为海滨城市，上海的城隍庙还兼有着护海功能。明初城隍庙改建之时，大门有坊，其额曰“保障海隅”。清同治时又加封“护海公”，匀天后神合力护庇南来北往的海舟，“上海地濒溟渤，华夷于兹互市，北达燕齐，南连闽粤，舳舻衔尾，鳞萃?集，往往惊涛骇浪中，神之灵异与天后相佐佑”。进出黄浦的船艘，则必向天后官、城隍庙烧香祈祷。“惯驾沙船走北洋，船头四望白茫茫。得归庆幸团团会，天后城隍遍?香。”每次城隍庙修葺，不仅上海商民踊跃捐赠，不恤财力以助，四方富商巨贾也皆“捆载辐辏而集”。上海城隍庙由此得以称盛兴旺。

尊敬的旅客 现在由我带领你们参观这历史悠久的豫园

上海城隍庙坐落于上海市最为繁华的城隍庙旅游区，是上海地区重要的道教宫观，始建于明代永乐年间(1403-1424)，距今已有近六百年的历史海的城隍庙始建于明代永乐年间(1420xx年后)，庙内祭奉城隍神秦裕伯(明太祖敕封秦裕伯为上海县城城隍神)和霍光(汉大将军博陆侯)。清代时香火极其鼎盛，上海的男女老幼，人人皆知城隍庙，上海开埠后城隍庙及其周围地区商贾云集，市场繁荣，到城隍庙可以购买许多生活必需品，特别是一些日用小商品。

上海市政府从1991年起，开始把城隍庙市场改建为具有民族传统的现代化大型旅游购物中心----豫园商城。商城内道路较窄，建筑多建造于1920xx年以前(即清代末年)，具有浓郁的中国古建筑的风格和特点，整个商城内小商店鳞次栉比，商品琳琅满目，各具特色，顾客熙熙攘攘，保持着中国古老的城镇街市风貌，大凡来上海的中外游客，大都要到老城隍庙走走。在老城隍庙内，汇集了众多的上海地方小吃，绿波廊的特色点心，松月楼的素菜包，桂花厅的鸽蛋圆子，松云楼的八宝饭，还有南翔小笼和酒酿圆子，真可称得上是小吃王国了。

上海城隍庙历史悠久，是上海道教正一派主要道观之一。老城隍庙里供奉着3个菩萨，即护城神秦裕伯、霍光、陈化成。关于他们的传说不一，版本很多。

就说那秦裕伯，一种说法是元末明初，这位被称为“智谋之士”的上海人，为逃避乱世，辞官回到了当时还是个小县城的上海。明朝开国后，朱元璋多次请他出山，才应允入朝。秦裕伯是前朝老臣，又精于世道，很受皇帝重用。朱元璋在他死后封他为上海“城隍之神”。还有个版本是，秦裕伯是元末明初河北大名人，曾在上海住过。传说他是一个孝子，因其母感叹未见过金銮殿，故专门建了一座像金銮殿的建筑。后被人告密，皇帝派员来查，他就连夜将殿改成金山神庙，躲过了一场灾祸。清军南下时，原准备屠城。行动前夜，清军将领梦见了秦裕伯，秦警告他不准杀人，这才没敢下手。因秦裕伯“显灵”，救了上海百姓，故被列为城隍爷。

霍光是东汉时期镇守疆土的将军。永乐年间，上海县正式建城隍庙的时候，知县将位于城中心的霍光行祠迁此。

使上海人真正顶礼膜拜的是第三位城隍爷陈化成。1937年抗日战争爆发后，市民从“陈公祠”中请出了1842年第二次鸦片战争中在吴淞炮台战死的江南提督陈化成的神像，供奉在大殿后进，表达了上海人民的抗战决心。

城隍在道教中的意思是指城市的保护神，可见老城隍庙在上海的地位和影响。

至于那城隍庙隔壁的豫园，据说是永乐年间一个在四川任布政使发了迹的上海人潘允瑞为愉悦老亲修造的一个花园。乾隆年间，豫园卖给了城隍庙，改为它的“西园”，园中重建的湖心亭和九曲桥都很有雅趣。这个熙熙攘攘了几百年的花园，如今的热闹喧嚣还是没有一丝减弱。

在豫园对面，一排餐饮店延伸了数十米，都是各式的美食店。老字号“南翔馒头店”卖的小笼包远近闻名，中午饭时间还没到，等着吃小笼包的人就排成了队。再向左拐是一条特色街，平排的两层木制红楼，店门上沿是一色的曲直镂雕连檐，再上面是镂雕的窗棂，顶上是翘角的飞檐。街心还有个连廊，就像架起的第二道门。街道很窄，3米多宽，两旁挂着悬空的“光明居饰”、“景龙轩”、“木梳大王”、“扇”、“茶”等招牌，一路望去，非常醒目。这城隍庙老街虽然不似现代店铺空调宜人、玻璃映照，但其涂满红漆的木雕门面、种类俱全的小巧制作和青石板砖的粗纹路面，却很有一些《清明上河图》里那特有的乡土气息，让人感到亲切。

上海城隍庙位于上海市黄浦区方浜中路，为“长江三大庙”之一。城隍，又称城隍神、城隍爷。是中国宗教文化中普遍崇祀的重要神?之一，由有功于地方民众的名臣英雄充当，是中国民间和道教信奉守护城池之神。下面是小编收集整理的5篇介绍上海城隍庙的导游词范文，欢迎借鉴参考。

老城隍庙位于上海老城厢中部，现属黄浦区东南部，临近豫园。明朝永乐年间由原金山神庙改建而成。城隍庙内供奉有三位城隍，分别是霍光、秦裕伯和陈化成。清朝道光年间，老城隍庙达到全盛，占地面积达到约50亩。民国时期，庙宇屡遭火灾，民国15年(1926年)重建了大殿。

老城隍庙周边庙会逐渐发展成为上海年代最为久远的商业区域，各种小吃餐厅、古玩商铺和小商品市场鳞次栉比，有绿波廊、宁波汤团店、松月楼等著名食府，尤以小笼包、梨膏糖、五香豆等食品最为出名。

上海城隍庙(City God Temple of Shanghai)，追溯历史已有600多年，从明代开始始建到当代历经沧 桑，上海的城隍庙已成为上海著名的旅游景点，作为道教宫观，上海城隍庙可谓历史悠久，在国内外享有盛名，随着经济的发展，已经成为上海小旅游圈，城隍庙道观、城隍庙小吃、豫园环在周围。

呈现出上海城隍庙文化底蕴。

城隍又称城隍爷，是古代中国宗教文化中普遍崇祀的重要神祇之一，大多由有功于地方民众的名臣英雄充当，是中国民间和道教信奉守护城池之神。

发展

秦裕伯(1296～1373)，汉族，字惟镜、景容，号蓉卿，别号葵斋。上海县人，原籍淮扬(今江苏扬州)，人称秦景容。

元代(元末明初)政治家、文学家、书法家。出身海陵秦氏，为北宋著名文学家、词人，婉约派一代词宗，苏门四学士之一的宋龙图阁直大学士淮海公秦观(少游)八世孙，江浙行省中书省儤使、中书省肃政廉访使秦知柔之孙，国子监学录、下沙盐运使司监税官、浙西道榷鹾使秦良颢之子，与其弟秦亨伯合称“二秦”。

元至正四年(1344)中进士，明洪武六年追封显佑伯，后又追赠护海公，后人称他秦显佑、显佑公。

朱元璋多次称秦裕伯为：“裕伯博辩善论说，占奏悉当帝意，帝数称之。“代表作品：《山舟辞》、《九贤祠颂》、《上中书相国却聘书》、《再上丞相却聘书》、《上海知县祝大夫碑》。

曾任湖广行省照磨(即湖广省的掌管磨勘和审计工作官)、山东高密县尹、福建行省郎中、行台侍御史、延平路总管兼管内劝农事。明太祖主政期间任侍读学士、待制、治书侍御史。

秦裕伯去世后，朱元璋一直心神不安，他以“生不为我臣，死当卫我土”，亲自敕封秦裕伯为“显佑伯”，称“上海邑城隍正堂”。后被敕封为城隍神四品显佑伯(正四品监察司氏城隍显佑伯)，受百世香火供奉。

沉香阁 位于城隍庙西北面的沉香阁，原由豫园主人潘允端所建。潘允端于明万历二十八年(1600年)督办漕运疏浚淮河打捞沉船时觅得一尊精美观音佛像，甚为喜欢，又于当夜梦见其母嘱托，即派人护送佛像回上海建阁供奉。因佛像由名贵海琼水沉香木雕制，芳香十分浓郁，故名“沉香阁”(据考，该佛像系隋代大业年间南洋赤土国回赠隋炀帝之礼，在淮河中遇风浪沉没，已卧伏河底近千年)。明代之后，沉香阁迁址重建，曾改名为“慈云禅寺”，拥有丛林寺院规模，与龙华、静安、玉佛三大名刹齐名今沉香观音虽非原像，但仍形神兼具、仪态万方，为佛中珍品，香火终日兴盛。阁内现还开设尼众班，已成为全国最大的比丘尼寺院之一。

豫园花园 明代豫园为沪上重要的传统旅游胜地，享有“奇秀甲于东南”之誉。该园由明代进士、曾任四川布政史的上海籍人士潘允端于 1559年(明嘉靖38年)始建，有“愉悦双亲”之意。初占地 70余亩，曾盛极一时，后几经战乱，现尚存30余亩。园中布局精致、景色宜人。亭台楼阁参差错落，曲经回廊交相掩映，池水萦绕与假山怀抱，名贵花木与奇石争辉，尽显“江南名园”之风范，并留有清代上海著名“小刀会”起义的遗址。

大假山是豫园景色的精华所在，也是江南园林中黄石假山的典范之作，由明代最具权威的叠山名家张南阳精心设计，并亲自参与建造，用数千吨浙江武康的黄石堆砌而成。

玉华堂前的“玉玲珑”是江南三大名石之一，也是豫园中的瑰宝。古人品评石之高下，有“皱、漏、透、瘦”四个标准，玉玲珑则四者俱佳，而以“透、漏”论之，更是冠盖全国，称誉海内外。豫园中有许多砖雕、泥塑、不仅历史悠久，而且十分精美。

上海城隍庙(上海话：老城隍庙，上海话拼音：lhaoshenhhangmhiao，是中国上海著名景点，道教正一道在上海的最主要的道观。

老城隍庙位于上海老城厢中部，现属黄浦区东南部，临近豫园。明朝永乐年间由原金山神庙改建而成。城隍庙内供奉有三位城隍，分别是霍光、秦裕伯和陈化成。清朝道光年间，老城隍庙达到全盛，占地面积达到约50亩。民国时期，庙宇屡遭火灾，民国20xx年(1920xx年)重建了大殿。文化大革命期间，老城隍庙受到冲击，庙宇被挪作他用。1994年，老城隍庙被修复，重新成为道观。目前，老城隍庙包括霍光殿、甲子殿、财神殿、慈航殿、城隍殿、娘娘殿等殿堂，总面积约一千余平方米。

老城隍庙周边庙会逐渐发展成为上海年代最为久远的商业区域，各种小吃餐厅、古玩商铺和小商品市场鳞次栉比，有绿波廊、宁波汤团店、松月楼等著名食府，尤以小笼包、梨膏糖、五香豆等食品最为出名。

各位游客：大家好!

欢迎来到上海城隍庙参观，我是这里的x导游，希望能在后面的讲解中给大家的游览带来很好的帮助。

上海立县之前，在镇西约 6 里处的淡井里，有一座华亭城隍行殿，俗称淡井庙。建县后经过一百五十余年，明永乐年间 (1403—1424)才将方洪北岸原金山神庙加以扩充，改为上海县城隍庙。相传，城隍是道家保护城池的神，同时也庇佑着市民，城隍庙是地方神的祭祀之地，城隍神则多为生前有惠于民的清官良吏，以期其殁后也能为民“御大灾、捍大患”。上海城隍庙其前身原为金山神主、西汉大司马霍光神祠，故今庙内前殿仍由霍光坐镇，后殿供奉上海城隍神秦裕伯，民间俗称“一庙二城隍”，国内罕见。

位于城隍庙西北面的沉香阁，原由豫园主人潘允端所建。潘允端于明万历二十八年(1600年)督办漕运疏浚淮河打捞沉船时觅得一尊精美观音佛像，甚为喜欢，又于当夜梦见其母嘱托，即派人护送佛像回上海建阁供奉。因佛像由名贵海琼水沉香木雕制，芳香十分浓郁，故名“沉香阁”(据考，该佛像系隋代大业年间南洋赤土国回赠隋炀帝之礼，在淮河中遇风浪沉没，已卧伏河底近千年)。明代之后，沉香阁迁址重建，曾改名为“慈云禅寺”，拥有丛林寺院规模，与龙华、静安、玉佛三大名刹齐名今沉香观音虽非原像，但仍形神兼具、仪态万方，为佛中珍品，香火终日兴盛。阁内现还开设尼众班，已成为全国最大的比丘尼寺院之一。

明代豫园为沪上重要的传统旅游胜地，享有“奇秀甲于东南”之誉。该园由明代进士、曾任四川布政史的上海籍人士潘允端于 1559年(明嘉靖38年)始建，有“愉悦双亲”之意。初占地 70余亩，曾盛极一时，后几经战乱，现尚存30余亩。园中布局精致、景色宜人。亭台楼阁参差错落，曲经回廊交相掩映，池水萦绕与假山怀抱，名贵花木与奇石争辉，尽显“江南名园”之风范，并留有清代上海著名“小刀会”起义的遗址。

大假山是豫园景色的精华所在，也是江南园林中黄石假山的典范之作，由明代最具权威的叠山名家张南阳精心设计，并亲自参与建造，用数千吨浙江武康的黄石堆砌而成。

玉华堂前的“玉玲珑”是江南三大名石之一，也是豫园中的瑰宝。古人品评石之高下，有“皱、漏、透、瘦”四个标准，玉玲珑则四者俱佳，而以“透、漏”论之，更是冠盖全国，称誉海内外。豫园中有许多砖雕、泥塑、不仅历史悠久，而且十分精美。

豫园中的名树古木也为数众多，百年以上的古树就有三十余棵。园中最古老的树是万花楼前的银杏树，高寿已四百余年。

当代大诗人郭沫若一九六一年参观豫园时，写下了“玲珑玉垒千钧重，曲折楼台万姓游。坐使湖山增彩色，豫园有史足千秋”的诗句。

典雅、别致的九曲桥，与湖心亭相依相伴成为上海的标志之一。人们行走在桥上弯来拐去、斗折蛇行、移步换景。而曲桥为什么以“九”为数呢?按中国人民的传统习俗，九是阳数最高的数，具有吉利之意，故取名“九曲桥”，实有取其吉祥如意之意。民间更是流传着“儿童走九曲，幸运久久久;学子走九曲、考分九十九;情侣走九曲，天长而地久;老翁走九曲，活到九十九”的民谣

上海城隍庙坐落于上海市最为繁华的城隍庙旅游区，是上海地区重要的道教宫观，始建于明代永乐年间(1403-1424)，距今已有近六百年的历史海的城隍庙始建于明代永乐年间(1420__年后)，庙内祭奉城隍神秦裕伯(明太祖敕封秦裕伯为上海县城城隍神)和霍光(汉大将军博陆侯)。清代时香火极其鼎盛，上海的男女老幼，人人皆知城隍庙，上海开埠后城隍庙及其周围地区商贾云集，市场繁荣，到城隍庙可以购买许多生活必需品，特别是一些日用小商品。

上海市政府从1991年起，开始把城隍庙市场改建为具有民族传统的现代化大型旅游购物中心----豫园商城。商城内道路较窄，建筑多建造于1920__年以前(即清代末年)，具有浓郁的中国古建筑的风格和特点，整个商城内小商店鳞次栉比，商品琳琅满目，各具特色，顾客熙熙攘攘，保持着中国古老的城镇街市风貌，大凡来上海的中外游客，大都要到老城隍庙走走。在老城隍庙内，汇集了众多的上海地方小吃，绿波廊的特色点心，松月楼的素菜包，桂花厅的鸽蛋圆子，松云楼的八宝饭，还有南翔小笼和酒酿圆子，真可称得上是小吃王国了。

永乐年间，上海知县张守钓将原位于县西北的霍光行祠改建成城隍庙。据至元《嘉禾志》引《吴越备史》载，相传吴王孙皓病重时，有神附体一小黄门，对孙皓言道：“华亭谷东南有盐塘，风潮为害，非人为所能防。臣本汉霍光也，愿统部属镇之。”遂立庙祀汉博陆侯霍光，是为上海祀奉霍光之始。

上海的霍光行祠又常称为金山神庙。金山庙改成城隍府后，前殿仍奉祀金山神霍光坐像，后殿则供奉秦裕伯。改建之初，城隍庙规模尚小，以后历代都有所修葺。全盛时，包括有大殿、中殿、寝宫、星宿殿、阎王殿、财神殿、文昌殿等殿堂。清康熙四十八年(1709)，在庙侧起造东园。乾隆时，由全县士商捐纳，购潘氏豫园故址，归城隍庙，称西园。重加兴修，所费资产累巨万，极泉石之美，以作娱神乐神之用。府基一度达70亩，称盛一时。其时，江南奉祀城隍“尤谨”，开堂皇崇，寝阁羽卫，“庙制辄拟古诸侯，又极池台园囿之观，吴越所在者皆然，而上海为尤盛”。

与盛大的庙宇相一致，上海人对于城隍神有着特别虔城的奉祀：先是松江民俗，每重祷献，而于城隍庙尤甚，如祈病祈福，富室用全猪羊，贫者用三牲首，日元虚晷，佥云城隍有炅，能祸福人，别府铯无此事。除夕日，家家户户备牲醴，前往城隍庙瞻拜。牲醴香烛，源源而来，香火称旺一时。每年清明、中元、十月朔，城隍神出巡祭厉坛，迎送间，彩旗、灯幡、鼓乐、戏妓、烟火、舆马，备极豪华、隆重，“虽王侯不能拟，官府不能禁”。历经数世，在沪人的心目中，上海的城隍神“御灾捍患，素者威灵”，士民对其感恩戴德。

“到上海不去城隍庙，等于没到过大上海。”可见老城隍庙在上海的地位和影响。城隍是道教中城市的保护神，相传明永乐年间(15世纪初)上海知县张守约将方浜路上的金山神庙(又名霍光行祠)改建成了今天我们所见的城隍庙。1926年重建，殿高4.8丈，深6.33丈，钢筋水泥结构，而彩椽画栋、翠瓦朱檐，规模大增。抗战后，为与新城隍庙(原址在金陵西路连云路口)相区别，故称老城隍庙。

近百年来，供奉在上海城隍庙大殿中的“三城隍”都是大有来头的名人。上海老城隍庙原为霍光神祠，供奉的是东汉名将霍光神主。上海建城隍庙，相沿成习，霍光成了上海资格最老的城隍爷。秦裕伯是元末明初河北大名人，曾在上海住过。清军南下时，遭到上海地区人民的强烈抵抗，清军将领原准备屠城。屠城前夜，清军将领梦见了秦裕伯，秦警告他不准杀人，这才取消了屠城计划。因秦裕伯“显灵”，救了上海百姓，故被列为城隍爷。使上海人真正顶礼膜拜的是第三位城隍爷。1937年抗日战争爆发后，市民从“陈公祠”中请出了1842年第二次鸦片战争中血染吴淞口、在吴淞炮台战死的江南提督陈化成的神像。当年被供奉在大殿后进的陈化成塑像，被民间雕塑家塑成满面火红、神采飞扬、目光炯炯、栩栩如生的英雄形象。这三尊城隍庙在战争中被“扫地出门”。现已尊神归位。

清代曹一士曾应邑民之请，为城隍神作《颂序略》，其中记载了送样一则故事：顺治十年秋，一直在海上坚持抗清斗争的张名振引兵入吴淞。苏州总兵王璟时掌军务，督战上海，见对方旌旗蔽空，海艘鱼贯而入，一时竟不知所措。是役，清兵溃败。不久，江宁巡抚周国佐按临上海，王璟深恐其畏敌逃避之迹败露，遂先发友制人，诬告上海百姓犯通海之罪。周国佐信以为真，决定屠城，准备从南浦至静安寺，悉数烧杀。上海知县阎绍庆及乡绅曹垂灿等闻知，急忙赶赴抚台行营，长跪陈请，愿以全家百口性命为保。自朝至暮，再三恳求。周国佐仍一意孤行，下令鸡鸣时分纵戮。夜半，城隍神显形巡抚官廨，朱袍象简，赫立阶下，周国佐见之，心意稍动。稍顷，城隍神又显形，对着周国佐“直视摇首者数四”。于是，周国佐收回屠城之令，全城百姓终于免遭屠戮。这一传说，反映出上海的老百姓已将能保有家室、安享太平归功于城隍神之赐。

自清末以来，上海的城隍庙又多出一重功能。当时辟出西园的部分，租于商家。此例一开，园中广设商店，竟成集市，城隍庙各种土特产、美味食品的声名不胫而走。另外，东、西园园囿之胜号称一邑之冠，游赏者颇多。各种花会，如四月下旬兰花会，九月中旬菊花会等，常设于东、西园，各神庙会、灯会又常以城隍庙为盛。三月二十八日，传乃城隍夫人诞，上海街巷悬灯亦一如天后。

作为海滨城市，上海的城隍庙还兼有着护海功能。明初城隍庙改建之时，大门有坊，其额曰“保障海隅”。清同治时又加封“护海公”，匀天后神合力护庇南来北往的海舟，“上海地濒溟渤，华夷于兹互市，北达燕齐，南连闽粤，舳舻衔尾，鳞萃麕集，往往惊涛骇浪中，神之灵异与天后相佐佑”。进出黄浦的船艘，则必向天后官、城隍庙烧香祈祷。“惯驾沙船走北洋，船头四望白茫茫。得归庆幸团团会，天后城隍遍爇香。”每次城隍庙修葺，不仅上海商民踊跃捐赠，不恤财力以助，四方富商巨贾也皆“捆载辐辏而集”。上海城隍庙由此得以称盛兴旺。

海市老城隍庙坐落于上海市最为繁华的城隍庙旅游区，是上海地区重要的道教宫观，始建于明代永乐年间(1403-1424)，距今已有近六百年的历史。从明代永乐(1403-1424)到清代道光(1821-1850)上海城隍庙的庙基不断扩大，宫观建筑不断增加，最为繁盛时期，总面积达到49.9亩土地，约三万三千多平方米。作为上海地区重要的道教宫观，上海城隍庙在战争时期，自然也遭受了重大的打击，神像被毁，庙宇被挪为它用。1994年，随着宗教信仰自由政策的逐步落实，上海城隍庙得到恢复，重新成为由正一派道士管理的道教宫观。20__年，上海城隍庙大殿前厢房的使用权得以归还，随即开始了二期修复工程[2]。现在的上海城隍庙，包括霍光殿、甲子殿、财神殿、慈航殿、城隍殿、娘娘殿、父母殿、关圣殿、文昌殿九个殿堂，总面积约二千余平方米。

城隍是自然神，凡有城池者，就建有城隍庙。最早的城隍庙见于三国吴赤乌二年(239)建的芜湖城隍庙。历史上有唐人张说、李德裕、李阳冰、杜牧等祭祀城隍神的文献记载。宋代以后，城隍开始人格化、多以去世后的英雄或名臣奉为城隍神，如苏州祀战国时春申君黄歇，上海祀秦裕伯，北京祀文天祥、杨椒山，杭州祀周新，会稽祀庞王，南宁、桂林祀苏缄等。后唐末帝清泰元年(934)封城隍为王爵。明太祖洪武元年(1368)则下旨封开封、临濠、束和、平滁四城的城隍为王，职位正一品，与人间的太师、太傅、太保“三公”和左、右丞相平级，又封各府、州、县城隍为公、侯、伯，即府城隍为监察司氏城隍威灵公，职位正二品;州城隍为监察司氏城隍显佑侯，职位正三品;县城隍为监察司氏城隍显佑伯，职位正四品，并且重建各地城隍庙，规模高广与当地官署衙门完全一样，还按级别配制冕旒哀服。明太祖洪武三年(1370)正祀典，诏去封号，只称“某府或某县城隍之神，又令各地城隍庙不得杂祀其他之神。据说明太祖朱元璋出生在土地庙里，所以他对土地庙以及土地的“上司”城隍极为崇敬。明孝宗年间(1488—1506)，莆田抗元英雄陈文龙(1232—1277)被封为福州城隍爷，其从叔抗元英雄陈瓒(1232—1277)被封为兴化府城隍爷。

兰州城隍庙又名纪信庙，明代重修后改易现名，建于宋代，有殿3楹，祀奉汉将军纪信。其位于甘肃省兰州市张掖路步行街中段。城隍是汉族宗教文化中普遍崇祀的重要神祇，多由有功于地方民众的名臣英雄充当，是汉族民间和道教信奉守护城池之神。

兰州城隍庙在兰州市张掖路。建于宋代，有殿3楹，祀奉汉将军纪信，又名纪信庙。明代重修后改易现名。清乾隆年间(1736—1795)毁于大火，后重修。坐北向南，占地120xx平方米，建筑面积4000平方米。

大门3间，为忠烈侯坊，二门为硬山顶式环廊戏楼，北有卷棚歇山顶式享殿，后为重檐歇山顶式正殿，左右有厢房、钟鼓楼等。回廊下原有壁画，现已不存。1956年辟作兰州市第一工人俱乐部。

自1998年在省市政府的大力支持下，兰州市总工会多方集资800多万元，重建修茸城隍庙，并以崭新的面貌向社会开放。现城隍庙交易市场拥有经营古玩的商户100多户，经营的种类有古玩、书画、瓷器、奇石、铜器、玉器、钱币、邮品、木器等近百个品种，每天游客络绎不绝。

上海城隍庙坐落于上海市最为繁华的城隍庙旅游区，是上海地区重要的道教宫观，始建于明代永乐年间（1403—1424），距今已有近六百年的历史海的城隍庙始建于明代永乐年间（1403年后），庙内祭奉城隍神秦裕伯（明太祖敕封秦裕伯为上海县城城隍神）和霍光（汉大将军博陆侯）。清代时香火极其鼎盛，上海的男女老幼，人人皆知城隍庙，上海开埠后城隍庙及其周围地区商贾云集，市场繁荣，到城隍庙可以购买许多生活必需品，特别是一些日用小商品。

上海市政府从1991年起，开始把城隍庙市场改建为具有民族传统的现代化大型旅游购物中心——豫园商城。商城内道路较窄，建筑多建造于1911年以前（即清代末年），具有浓郁的中国古建筑的风格和特点，整个商城内小商店鳞次栉比，商品琳琅满目，各具特色，顾客熙熙攘攘，保持着中国古老的城镇街市风貌，大凡来上海的中外游客，大都要到老城隍庙走走。在老城隍庙内，汇集了众多的上海地方小吃，绿波廊的特色点心，松月楼的素菜包，桂花厅的鸽蛋圆子，松云楼的八宝饭，还有南翔小笼和酒酿圆子，真可称得上是小吃王国了。

上海城隍庙历史悠久，是上海道教正一派主要道观之一。老城隍庙里供奉着3个菩萨，即护城神秦裕伯、霍光、陈化成。关于他们的传说不一，版本很多。

就说那秦裕伯，一种说法是元末明初，这位被称为“智谋之士”的上海人，为逃避乱世，辞官回到了当时还是个小县城的上海。明朝开国后，朱元璋多次请他出山，才应允入朝。秦裕伯是前朝老臣，又精于世道，很受皇帝重用。朱元璋在他死后封他为上海“城隍之神”。还有个版本是，秦裕伯是元末明初河北大名人，曾在上海住过。传说他是一个孝子，因其母感叹未见过金銮殿，故专门建了一座像金銮殿的建筑。后被人告密，皇帝派员来查，他就连夜将殿改成金山神庙，躲过了一场灾祸。清军南下时，原准备屠城。行动前夜，清军将领梦见了秦裕伯，秦警告他不准杀人，这才没敢下手。因秦裕伯“显灵”，救了上海百姓，故被列为城隍爷。

霍光是东汉时期镇守疆土的将军。永乐年间，上海县正式建城隍庙的时候，知县将位于城中心的霍光行祠迁此。城隍在道教中的意思是指城市的保护神，可见老城隍庙在上海的地位和影响。

至于那城隍庙隔壁的豫园，据说是永乐年间一个在四川任布政使发了迹的上海人潘允瑞为愉悦老亲修造的一个花园。乾隆年间，豫园卖给了城隍庙，改为它的“西园”，园中重建的湖心亭和九曲桥都很有雅趣。这个熙熙攘攘了几百年的花园，如今的热闹喧嚣还是没有一丝减弱。

在豫园对面，一排餐饮店延伸了数十米，都是各式的美食店。老字号“南翔馒头店”卖的小笼包远近闻名，中午饭时间还没到，等着吃小笼包的人就排成了队。再向左拐是一条特色街，平排的两层木制红楼，店门上沿是一色的曲直镂雕连檐，再上面是镂雕的窗棂，顶上是翘角的飞檐。街心还有个连廊，就像架起的第二道门。街道很窄，3米多宽，两旁挂着悬空的“光明居饰”、“景龙轩”、“木梳大王”、“扇”、“茶”等招牌，一路望去，非常醒目。这城隍庙老街虽然不似现代店铺空调宜人、玻璃映照，但其涂满红漆的木雕门面、种类俱全的小巧制作和青石板砖的粗纹路面，却很有一些《清明上河图》里那特有的乡土气息，让人感到亲切。
