Chapter 350 Tour Guide Please Tour Guide

"The fundamental reason is that our Central Plains culture is extensive and profound, and the territory is broad. Before Buddhism came to us, we had Taoism and Confucian culture. We have used Confucianism to govern the country, and Taoism is something that our common people believe in."

"What do you mean by a little letter?"

"Believe a little bit means that ordinary people know these gods, but what gods they believe in and to what extent they believe in them depend on which gods are useful to them and to what extent they are effective. The Han nationality is a very pragmatic nation."

Everyone laughed.

"So when these religions spread to Han areas, it is difficult for one family to dominate. We can only change and adapt to our Han culture, forming the unity of the three religions."

Tourists nod.

"When the Southern Buddhism spread to Banna, it actually merged with the Dai people's ancestor worship and water culture. These original beliefs. When Tibetan Buddhism spread to Tibet, it also struggled with the local religion of ancestors and witchcraft worship, Bon, Then merge."

"Oh!"

"The reason why they can become the main beliefs of a region and nation is because of political guidance. Because in Han areas, no matter how much they worship Buddhism, they have not really used Buddhism or Taoism as a ruling tool. We have always been Confucianism. We study culture, the Four Books and Five Classics, right?

In the Dai area, to learn culture, one must enter a monastery.They don't just study Buddhist scriptures.In fact, "Beiye Jing" is the encyclopedia of the Dai people, and it is all-encompassing.So you can learn a lot by going to a monastery.Dai language, history and culture, astronomy, medical science and technology, etc. "

"Buddhist scriptures also include science?"

"Yes." He Huan talked about the Beiye Jing, an intangible cultural heritage of the Dai people.

"We advocate respecting teachers and emphasizing teaching, and their monasteries and monks have assumed the roles of academies and teachers, so in addition to the high status of monks stipulated in the teachings, the people are also willing to recognize their status.

Believers must and spontaneously worship monks.Therefore, when the believers are about ten years old, they have to become monks and learn to complete the transformation of their social roles.

Just like when we enter the society after going to college, this is equivalent to a diploma.Only after you have studied in a monastery will people recognize you as a cultured person, and those who have not studied are savages. "

The tourists all laughed.

"So it has assumed the role of education, and indeed because of this role, it has passed down the history, culture and customs of the Dai people, including Buddhism."

He Huan explained the history of Theravada Buddhism along the way and took them on a tour.

"Little Bailong, you know so much, have you also come here to become a monk?"

He Huan was speechless, and the tourists laughed again.

"Then do they still become monks now?" Ms. Lan asked.

He Huan said: "You also listened to my chat with Brother Dao yesterday. When children go to the monastery to study, most of them will return to vulgarity. Generally, children from ordinary families can't stay if they want to stay, because the hierarchy of high-level monks is very strict. Only nobles You can get promoted. Ordinary people just go in and get a diploma."

Everyone laughed.

"And now that the nine-year compulsory education has become popular, it has conflicted with their original monastery study system. In the past, in Banna, if you could write Dai, you were a cultural person.

But now, the Dai language is rarely used in daily life, and they are all in Chinese, so the Bayeux Sutra has become a cultural heritage.In modern society, Chinese is used, and Chinese can help you find a good job.

So this monastery diploma is not that important.There are fewer and fewer young monks in the temple.The study time also conflicts with compulsory education, so I can only be a monk for a period of time during the holidays, and go to school in cassock.

Now if you want a child to become a monk, it depends on coaxing.You want to buy them racing cars and remote-controlled airplanes. In short, how you trick children into going to school, they trick children into going to monasteries. "

The tourists laughed and fell into thought again.

National integration and cultural dissemination are good things, but the strong assimilation ability of Han culture has turned their original culture into a cultural heritage.

If they want to enter the modern society, it is necessary to learn Chinese culture, and their original culture has become less and less contacted.Everyone can't help feeling sorry for each other.

It happened that some Buddhist monks were writing the Bayeux Sutra. He Huan asked them to take off their shoes and go in for a visit.

After watching the production of the Bayeux Sutra for a while, everyone has a better understanding of the splendor and magic of the Dai culture.

After coming out, several tourists will go to the temple to offer incense.

"Don't take pictures of Buddha statues, you can take pictures outside." He Huan reminded.

"why?"

"Respect their religion."

"Oh."

"Many people like to take random photos when traveling, but it is recommended to take less photos of religious places. Because you may watch the excitement as a background, but to others, it is very solemn and sacred."

"Ah."

Along the way, sure enough, some management personnel reminded some tourists who were dressed in cool and fancy clothes to put on their coats.Everyone smiled and looked at Xiao Bailong. Fortunately, Xiao Bailong reminded them to dress neatly.

After burning incense and coming out, He Huan said: "When I come to Banna, I always feel that I should see elephants and peacocks."

"Ah! Where is it?" The tourists looked around.

"Want to go to Wild Elephant Valley?"

"Wild Elephant Valley is actually very difficult to see wild elephants, you can only see elephant performances. Personally, I don't like animal performances very much."

"Hmm." Everyone nodded.

"As for the forest, the Wild Elephant Valley is not arranged because there are already hopeful trees. But the forest park is very close, and you can watch the peacocks fly."

"Okay!" The tourists ran out, so happy that someone would lead the way.

There is a self-pay on the car.At the entrance of the forest park, He Huan went to the team window to hand in the tour ticket, and then looked at the public notice board.Didn't see the guide price.After all, which tour guide asks for a tour guide at the group window?
"How much is the tour guide?" He Huan had to ask the conductor.

Ms. Lan was unfamiliar with everyone, so she stood close to him, and after hearing what he said, she couldn't help but look sideways at him.He Huan's cheeks were hot, but he pretended to be calm.The Zongfo Temple is small, with obvious landmarks, and it can be turned out.No one took him in Forest Park, so he really didn't know how to get there.

The conductor looked up and stood up excitedly, "Little Bailong! Wait, I'll call!"

"Don't, don't." He Huan said quickly, "You can just find someone for me and lead the way. There is no need to explain."

A Dai girl jumped out from the side and said with a smile: "I will guide you, no money is required."

He Huan nodded happily, "Thank you."

Ms. Lan looked at him in disbelief.

He Huan pretended to be calm and followed the Dai tour guide to lead the tourists in.

There is a long and resplendent mural on the wall around the gate.

Xiaobailongtuan looked at the mural, "Little Bailong, the painting on it feels a bit familiar!"

"That's right!" He Huan said, "This is Prince Zhaoshutun and Princess Peacock!"

"Ah!" Everyone gathered around and slid to the wall to look carefully.Because Xiao Bailong said it, and he can still understand it.At this moment, I was delighted and surprised, "You didn't make it up! It's amazing!"

He Huan was speechless, "So you think I made it up!"

"That's right! Who would look at a tall and handsome man and think that he is wise, ideal, kind and gentle? Hahaha..."

The Dai tour guide took them to the square, the fountain pool, the golden boats coming and going, and the dance performance just started.

He Huan said: "This is the live performance of the Peacock Princess."

The tourists happily sat down in the auditorium, watching the princess in the peacock plumage suit and the prince in the golden safari dance to express their affection, and the dance was moving.

Xiao Bailong told it yesterday, and everyone came back to this aphrodisiac story again.

He Huan looked at Ms. Lan who was sitting next to her trying to understand but could only watch the excitement, and told her again.

Ms. Lan nodded, "If I had known earlier, I should have gone to Wangtianshu yesterday instead of letting him and Xiaosan listen sweetly to you talking about the husband and wife tree. How do you think they have the face to listen?"

He Huan sighed, and Ms. Lan glanced at him, "I'm sorry." She continued to watch the performance.

Of course, the dance is for fun, only to dance to the wedding ceremony of the prince and princess, the actors went ashore to throw candy to the audience, and the audience happily picked it up.

He Huan turned his head and saw that there were many group tourists. It seems that the group tour has resumed today.

After throwing the wedding candy, Princess Peacock turned her head and gave a whistle. Peacocks suddenly flew out of the green forest on the mountain. There were hundreds of them in groups, with gorgeous feathers spreading and swaying, flying over the green mountains and green waters under the blue sky and white clouds. .

This scene is really immortal!

The tourists were stunned, "Princess Peacock flying to the river to take a bath is probably like this scene!"

He Huan also felt that it was worth coming.

The peacocks flew over the fountain pool, strolled in front of the tourists without hesitation, and looked at them expectantly.

He Huan also looked back at the tourists, "Didn't you see that they were looking at you?"

"Then what should we do?"

"Kiss it?"

"Ha ha ha ha……"

He Huan was speechless, "Give it something delicious!"

The tourists laughed and went to buy bird food to feed the peacocks. These peacocks were not afraid of people, and they all came to the palms of their hands to peck.

He Huan helped them take pictures, "When I saw them, I heard the whistle, so I said: Come down the mountain! Dinner is ready!"

"Hahaha……"

If the tourists are having fun, just let them have a little more fun.

"Would you like to go to the Songkran Festival?"

"Yeah!"

He Huan asked the Dai tour guide to take them on.Everyone didn't think there was any problem with having an extra tour guide for the Little White Dragon Group.Anyway, when Xiaobailong goes to every scenic spot, someone will lead him.

Only Ms. Lan looked at him strangely.

He Huan doesn't care about her, she has a lot of chicken feathers, and the air traffic control guide invites a tour guide!
"The Songkran Festival is now a carnival, and these scenic spots celebrate the Songkran Festival every day. It is actually a combination of the Dai Water Festival and the Buddha Bathing Festival.

There are a series of solemn and solemn activities, and the last is the blessing of water splashing.We have just come from the Zongfo Temple, which is considered solemn before joyful. "

The Dai tour guide led them to the small water-splashing square, "To participate in the Water-Splashing Festival, you must change into our Dai's clothes, so as not to get your clothes wet."

The money for changing clothes is not expensive, so everyone ran to change clothes and splash water.He Huan stood by and took pictures of them.Ms. Lan was also standing beside him.

He Huan looked at her, "Since you decided to play, let's put it down and have fun."

Ms. Lan glanced at him, changed her clothes, and walked into the mist and crowd.

He Huan took another picture of her.

Although she seemed relatively calm, to be honest, He Huan admired her very much.But people, when encountering such a thing, how can there be no fluctuations?

If she is unhappy, it will affect the atmosphere of the whole group.This is still secondary.The fear is that she can't think about it alone.Although she doesn't look like such an extreme person, one must always guard against her sudden collapse or something.So it's best to let it out.

Now seeing her splashing around with her group friends and other tourists with a smile on her face, He Huan felt relieved.

Drenched and running out, the tourists changed into their own clothes and came to He Huan's side.A group of scenic spot leaders also ran over, happily surrounding He Huan, "Little Bailong! You didn't even say a word when you came?"
