What are the places worth visiting in Xishuangbanna?

beauty

Yunnan is the province with the largest number of ethnic minorities in my country. There are 56 flowers of 56 ethnic groups, and Yunnan owns 25 flowers. There are 8 of them in different minority autonomous prefectures alone! The previous article took you to Dali Bai Autonomous Prefecture, Diqing Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture (Shangri-La) and Lijiang, where the Naxi people live. Today I present to you Xishuangbanna Dai Autonomous Prefecture.

(The Xishuangbanna ethnic minority sculptures on the Jinghong Splashing Square include the Kemu, Jingpo, Yao, Wa, Jino, Hani, Lahu, Yi, Blang and other ethnic minorities in addition to the Dai)

Before entering Xishuangbanna, I would like to confess my admiration for the beauties of the Dai nationality.

In the early years, I was obsessed with all kinds of abnormal love movies, that is, the kind of sadomasochism movies in which students fall in love with teachers, loli falls in love with uncles, cousins fall in love with cousins, and various "ancient Greek mythology" complexes. There are mostly Korean and European literary films. Of course, most of this kind of movies can’t be on the stage, just to watch exciting and greedy, but I was so impressed by four of the Thai movies that I searched for them from time to time. They are—three versions of "" Evening Lady" and "Eternity".

("Eternity" stills)

These few films are well-known, although the story is still such a shell, but the filming of "love" and "desire" has a philosophical flavor, especially "eternity", which gives people a long way to think and is enough to dilute the senses. . At that time, I occasionally went to Jidu Church to listen to the pastor's sermon, and one of the highly respected pastors often quoted "Eternity" to alert and charm.

The reason why I fell in love with these movies is that, in addition to their philosophical temperament, there is also the distinctive beauty of the heroine. Maybe it is because I am tired of watching too much Europe, America, Japan and South Korea. When the dark, gentle-featured young woman takes off her clothes in front of the camera, her curvaceous demeanor is so attractive! They have a mysterious, elegant, gentle and friendly charm, sexy yet dignified, indistinguishable and detached, soul-stirring...

Hong Kong actor Christy Chung once played the leading role in "The Evening Lady". No wonder Zhong Liti has a unique temperament, which attracted me very much in "The Bodyguard of Zhongnanhai".

(Chung Liti in "The Evening Lady")

Having said so much about Thai beauties, what does it have to do with the Dai people?

I believe you have noticed that the difference between "Thai" and "Dai" is only one person, which is not a coincidence. Now please look at the map. Xishuangbanna, located at the southern tip of Yunnan, is adjacent to Laos and Myanmar, and Thailand is sandwiched between them, and the distance is very close. In fact, the Dai people in our country are a branch of the main ethnic group in Thailand - the Thai people, and the Dai language is the Thai language. The Thai people are mainly distributed in Thailand and Laos, and also in neighboring countries such as China, India, Vietnam, Cambodia, and Myanmar. After World War II, the governments of various countries named the Thai people in their respective territories, and they were called "Thai" in Thailand, Vietnam, and Cambodia. , called "Lao" in Laos, "Shan" in Myanmar, "Ahong" in India, and "Dai" in China.

In terms of culture (clothing, singing and dancing, etc.), most of these South Asian regions are similar. The first time I experienced South Asian dance in reality was at Shenzhen Window of the World. Unique pagodas and other buildings, this time we come to Xishuangbanna, let us go through the streets and alleys of Buddhist temples and rain forests to see what kind of culture it is that breeds such charming and graceful beauties.

Mengle

Like "Shangri-La", "Yamdrok Yongcuo" and other names, "Xishuangbanna" gives people an exotic and mysterious reverie, but in fact, the meaning of these beautiful names in their native language may be very simple. For example, "Yamdrok Yongcuo" means "jasper lake in the upper pasture" in Tibetan, and "Xishuangbanna" means "twelve thousand paddy fields" in Dai language.

Xishuangbanna was called "Mengle" in ancient times, and its ancestors were a branch of the ancient Yue people. "Meng" means "place, city-state, country" in Dai language, so besides Jinghong, the state capital, the other two counties in the autonomous prefecture are called Menghai and Mengla. The original Mengle Kingdom consisted of 12 Dai tribes. During the Southern Song Dynasty, Payazhen, the leader of the Dai tribe, unified Mengle and built palaces and pagodas on Nanlian Mountain by the Lancang River. Among them is a big Buddhist temple, which was built by a Dai king named Bolong to commemorate the deceased princess Nansha Weibian. It is also called "Jingpiao Buddhist Temple".

Later, most of the buildings were destroyed by the war, and the splendor of Mengle was also scattered and submerged with the soldiers. Today, the Mengle Cultural Tourism Zone has been newly built on Nanlian Mountain in Xishuangbanna, which reproduces the culture and religion of the ancient Mengle Kingdom. The first stop in Xishuangbanna, we will go around the Mengle Cultural Tourism Zone.

Mengle Cultural Tourist Area is located at the southern end of Mengle Avenue in Jinghong. The brightly colored southern buildings are built on the hillside, hidden in rich and dense tropical trees. On the central axis of the scenic spot are Jingpiao Hall, Zhuangkai Golden Pagoda, the Holy Bodhi Tree, Landscape statues such as the auspicious Buddha, together with exquisite sculptures and murals, present the unique Theravada Buddhist culture of Theravada. Second choice.

Entering the main entrance, passing through Prince Square and Hongfa Square, you can see the majestic Jingpiao Hall.

(Promotion Square)

The Jingpiao Hall is the core building of the Great Buddha Temple, also known as the "Main Hall". The main hall was rebuilt on the site of the original "Wajingpiao" (Jingpiao Buddhist Temple). It is 49 meters long, 29 meters wide and 35 meters high, implying that Sakyamuni became a monk at the age of 29 and meditated under the Bodhi tree at the age of 35. After nine days, he attained enlightenment and became a Buddha. Its shape is a combination of Dai traditional architecture and Southeast Asian architectural style, with overlapping cornices, golden corridors and red tiles, with a grand scale and distinctive features.

Outside the hall, there are Dharma guardian sculptures unique to Theravada Buddhism:

The statues of Sakyamuni in the temple and Ananda and Kassapa next to him are solemn and solemn, but compared with the Buddha statues in the mainland, they are obviously taller and have a slimmer waist. There is a consistent style.

The inner wall of the main hall is painted with murals of "The Life of Buddha", which are bright, exquisite and fascinating. The story of Buddha is similar in Theravada Buddhism, Tibetan Buddhism and Han Buddhism, but the styles of Dunhuang murals, Tibetan monastery murals and inland monastery murals are completely different. The natural and cultural customs of different regions.

After passing through the main hall, there is a sacred stone beside the road. According to the Bayeux Scriptures, this big stone appeared on a stormy night, and the residents of the nearby villages worshiped it as a god-falling stone. The Buddha once came here to preach the Dharma at dawn, and he sat on this stone when he preached the scriptures. The Buddha pointed to the dams where the Lancang River and the Liusha River flooded at that time, and predicted that there would be a Paya (Dai King) to manage and prosper this place in the future. It will prosper from here, and the flood will no longer flood. From now on, it will be called "Jinghong" (meaning "City of Dawn"), which is the origin of Jinghong's name. Sure enough, later Payazhen unified the area where the Dai people lived and established the Jinglong Jindian Kingdom.

On the side of the sacred stone is the Hall of Longevity, in which the eighteen Arhats are enshrined. They are the messengers who spread the Dharma in the world after the Buddha passed away, cultivating merit and longevity for all living beings.

Opposite the Hall of Longevity is the Hall of Weeks, which is the Hall of Buddha's Daily Hand Gestures and Dharma, which mainly displays a cycle of Buddha's teachings. In the hall, there are daily Dharma images from Sunday to Saturday.

(Tuesday Faxiang)

Between the two halls, there is a sculpture of the goddess of the earth, who is the witness who records the good deeds of Sakyamuni. According to legend, in order to prevent Sakyamuni from enlightening, the devil summoned demon soldiers, poisonous insects and monsters, armed with poisonous mines and poisonous arrows, and killed Sakyamuni like bees and ants. But when the demon king's poisonous thunder and poisonous arrows shot in front of Sakyamuni, they scattered one after another, and could not hurt him at all. Sakyamuni said to the demon king: "The reason why I have become a Bodhisattva is because I have accumulated immeasurable virtue and wisdom since the three monks did not know how many kalpas, and I have completed the six perfections and ten thousand deeds. You come to attack me, not to hit a stone with a pebble. , Suicide?" The demon king said: "You have collected immeasurable merits, what evidence is there?" At this time, the goddess of the earth appeared, squeezed the water that had been dripped by Sakyamuni's good deeds from the tip of her hair, and flowed out. The water flooded like a flood and washed away all the magic soldiers and generals.

Continuing to climb up the stairs, there are several small halls beside the road, which are Buddhist temples in the styles of various countries in South Asia, including Sri Lankan halls, Burmese halls, Laotian halls and Thai halls, all of which are places where Theravada Buddhism flourishes.

The picture below shows the Sri Lankan temple and the Buddha statue in the temple. Sri Lanka is a small island in the south of India. It is the first stop where Theravada Buddhism spread from India. This may be the origin of the word "Theravada", because most of the places where Theravada Buddhism flourished are on the east side of India. Theravada Buddhism in Sri Lanka experienced many historical evolutions and almost declined until Sri Lanka became independent in 1945. The government regarded the revival of Buddhism as an important part of restoring national culture, established various Buddhist societies with a secular nature, founded Buddhist universities, and to be redeveloped.

The picture below shows the Thai Temple. Theravada Buddhism was introduced to Thailand as early as BC, and then Brahmanism and Mahayana Buddhism were introduced to southern Thailand from India. The spread of Theravada Buddhism was once suppressed. In the middle of the 13th century, Rama Kangheng, the third king of the Sukhothai dynasty, welcomed the Sangha of Ceylon (now Sri Lanka) to the capital to promote the teachings, which made the Ceylon sect popular, and Mahayana Buddhism took a back seat. Since then, under the support of the feudal monarchs, Buddhism has gradually formed a system of monks and kings, which has almost become the belief of the whole people and penetrated into the customs of daily life.

The picture below shows the Burmese temple and the Buddha statue in the temple. Buddhism was introduced to Myanmar during the era of King Ashoka in India and had a great influence on Myanmar society. Buddhist teachings are the norms of social behavior and living customs of the majority of people in Myanmar. Monks are widely respected, enjoy judicial power and tax exemption, and monopolize education in Myanmar. Burmese monasteries own land, and Buddhist temples are spread all over the country.

The picture below shows the Laotian temple and the Buddha statue in the temple. Theravada Buddhism was introduced to Laos from Cambodia in the middle of the 14th century, and it was revered as the state religion, but declined during the colonial era. In the 20th century, the national liberation movement in Laos was on the rise, and Buddhism was revived. Laos established a nationally unified Buddhist organization, compiled and published Tripitaka classics, and restored the Pali education center system dominated by temples.

At the end of the stairs is the majestic auspicious Buddha. When I went there, I saw the setting sun hanging on the top of the Buddha, and I felt sacred and solemn. Forged from brass, the Buddha sits south facing north, facing downtown Jinghong, overlooking all living beings. The right hand of the Buddha statue is up, which is the image of preventing and exorcising evil spirits, and the left hand is down, which means letting go and always having a normal heart.

After the Buddha, there is a trail leading directly to the Peak Park. In the garden, there is a golden pagoda and golden basin for visitors to wash their hands. There are also supporting auspicious words: Washing hands with the golden basin will eliminate worries, and washing the face with the golden basin will increase happiness.

Going forward, you can see the magnificent Zhuangkai Shwedagon Pagoda (still under construction). This is a typical Southeast Asian Dai-Thai building. It absorbs the architectural style of Southeast Asia and has the characteristics of the traditional bamboo shoot tower of the Dai nationality. , eight auxiliary towers and sixteen small towers, with a diameter of 60 meters, symbolizing perfection, and a height of 80 meters, implying the Nirvana of Sakyamuni's 80-year life. Every Dai village in Xishuangbanna has Buddhist pagodas in various poses and with different styles, each with its own characteristics, and this Zhuangkai Golden Pagoda is the largest one among them.

On the way up the mountain, we passed the buildings on both sides of the central axis. On both sides of Jingpiao Hall, there are elders' houses and Jietang.

The elder's house is the abbot's building, which is the residence of the host. The Southern Buddhism calls the host the Great Buddha or the Great Elder. The abbot of the Mengle Great Buddha Temple is named Huba Longzhuang Meng Wannaxili, and is the first great Buddha of Theravada Buddhism in China. The steps of the Changlaoriao are decorated with brightly colored sculptures of dragons. This image is very common in Theravada Buddhist temples. It is called "Naga Dragon". It is said that it is a dragon that lives at the bottom of the Mekong River and controls the river and precipitation. It is known as the guardian of the Mekong River. god.

The precept hall is the mandala where the precepts are received. It is called "Bosu" in Dai language. It is a place for eminent monks to discuss scriptures, recite precepts, discuss affairs, introspect and repent. Only monasteries that reach the level of central Buddhist temples can be established.

Traveling westward down the mountain to Yufo Water Splashing Square, the famous Dai Minority Water Splashing Festival is usually held in April, but many scenic spots will also hold water splashing carnivals at other times to satisfy tourists who come here for the name, Splashing Water Square in Mengle Cultural Tourism Area There are such activities on the Internet, as well as Dai singing and dancing performances. The actors and sisters led the audience to get wet. The happiest people are children and young people. They each have their own happiness...

The Songkran Festival, also known as the "Buddha Bathing Festival", is a traditional festival of the Dai, Blang and other Thai-speaking ethnic groups and Southeast Asia. The Songkran Festival is also the New Year of the Dai people. Folklore activities, splashing water on each other means sending auspicious blessings to each other. During the epidemic period, there are few people. If it catches up with the Water-Splashing Festival in April, there will be a larger and open Water-Splashing Square in the urban area, and the whole people will participate. The scene will not be too spectacular!

(Jinghong Splashing Square)

On the west side of Yufo Sprinkling Square is the Peacock Cultural Park. If you want to choose two animals that best represent Xishuangbanna, there is no doubt that they are peacocks and elephants. The elephants will appear later, so let's take a look at the peacocks first.

(Elephant sculptures can be seen everywhere in Jinghong Street)

The peacock is an auspicious sacred bird loved by the Dai people. The aesthetics of the Dai people are deeply influenced by the beautiful figure and gorgeous feathers of the peacock. There are many peacock elements in the traditional buildings and costumes of the Dai people, and the peacock's movements are also imitated, thus giving birth to the graceful peacock dance, which was introduced to the world by the famous dancer Yang Liping.

In the Peacock Cultural Park, you can not only watch and feed peacocks, but also witness the spectacular scene of hundreds of peacocks flying down from the top of the mountain.

This is the end of "Mengle", and then we will move to the city center, visit "Manting", continue to visit the gorgeous Dai architecture, and encounter naive elephants.

Manting Park is the oldest park in Xishuangbanna, with a history of more than 1,300 years. It used to be the imperial garden of the Dai king. It is said that the Dai king named the garden after her in memory of the dead princess, "Manting" Meaning "soul", the meaning of this nice name is also very romantic.

As a former imperial garden, Manting Park is one of the important carriers of the Dai people's cultural history and religious beliefs. Today, there are ethnic cultural squares, imperial garden cultural areas, release culture areas, Buddhist cultural areas, and imperial elephant cultural areas in the park. It is one of the tourism business cards of Xishuangbanna, which is one of the tourist cards of Xishuangbanna.

After entering the door, the first thing you see is the sculpture of Premier Zhou. Premier Zhou has a deep relationship with Xishuangbanna. The Dai nationality used to be called the Thai nationality. In 1952, Premier Zhou added a single person to "Thai", and since then the Thai nationality has become the Dai nationality. The sculpture was built to commemorate Premier Zhou's participation in the Songkran Festival in 1961.

On the east side of Premier Zhou’s Monument is the Dai King’s Palace. According to historical records, Payazhen established the Mengle Kingdom in 1160 after unifying the various tribes of the Daile. Payazhen was bestowed the title of King Mengle by the emperor of the Celestial Dynasty, hereditary for 4 generations, and ruled the Xishuangbanna area for nearly 800 years. The Dai King's Palace is the product of this period, and now includes the Dai King's meeting hall, the Dai King's bedroom, the Songkran Festival Memorial Hall, etc. , showing the long history and splendid culture of Xishuangbanna.

The picture below shows the elephant foot drum displayed in the palace, which is an important folk instrument of the Dai people. Elephant foot drums come in different sizes, with different pronunciations. The big drum has a majestic and vigorous sound, the middle drum is exciting and high-spirited, and the small drum is crisp and bright. Its playing methods are also very rich. According to the mood of the performance, fingers, palms and fists are used together, and the drum rhythms are varied and varied.

Going southeast through a Dai-style pavilion, you come to the beautiful imperial garden.

In the garden, exotic flowers and plants are competing for beauty, small bridges and flowing water are beautifully displayed, swans and colorful fish are frolicking and swimming, which is too beautiful to behold. There are also tropical plants that are not common in the mainland, forming a Dai garden that is different from Jiangnan gardens. . There is also the Royal Orchid Garden on the west side of the Royal Garden. There are more than 400 species of orchids planted in the garden, mainly tropical epiphytic orchids, which are elegant and refined, as picturesque as poetry.

There is a city center tower in the Royal Orchid Garden. As the name suggests, this is the central building of the city, and it is the central place for people of all ethnic groups in Banna to worship during specific festivals. This pagoda is a typical Dai royal building, painted with golden watercolor paintings, layers of eaves stacked like mountains, and golden roofs are dazzling. There are 12 sincere pillars in the tower, which symbolize that 12 villages support Banna.

(Inside City Tower)

Continue to go south, and a long and narrow lake appears in front of you, which is Fangsheng Lake. The lakeside is lush with trees, covering the Dai Pavilion, the red boats in the lake are blue, and the Dai Bridge is rippling.

Fangsheng Lake was originally a backwater bay of the Lancang River. After the water level of the Lancang River rises every year during the flood season, the river water will pour into it to form a lake. Dai people believe that this lake has spirituality, and it was consecrated by a virtuous Buddha. It is dedicated to Buddhism in Xishuangbanna. A place where believers are released.

Walking along the lake, you can see many buildings with strong Dai style, some are coffee shops, some are pottery halls, full of exotic romantic atmosphere.

The song and dance performance theater on the north side of Fangsheng Lake hosts Dai historical drama performances outdoors regularly every day, which is worth seeing.

The slow wheel pottery making of the Dai people began in the Neolithic Age and has a history of six to seven thousand years. It is a living fossil of human handicraft technology and has been included in the national intangible cultural heritage protection list.

There is a white pagoda in the west of the lake, which is composed of the mother pagoda and eight small pagodas around it. It resembles a group of bamboo shoots emerging from the underside of a strong and straight dragon. The Buddha's will and the kindness, gentleness, tenderness and graceful character of the Dai people set off.

There is a statue of the goddess of the earth not far from the White Tower. The goddess of the earth has already appeared in the "Mengle" section. She is called "Nantolani". She is the goddess who records the good deeds of the Buddha. .

Surrounding the goddess and the White Tower is the Bayeux Palm Forest. Bay leaf palm is usually about 20 meters high, tall and majestic, with a straight and round trunk, like a giant umbrella. Once it blooms in 60 years, as long as it blooms, it symbolizes the end of life. The Beiye Jing, which records the history of the Dai people, is made of the leaves of the palm leaf palm, which can be preserved for hundreds of years. The Beiye Sutra records Dai myths, fables, proverbs, poems, medicine, astronomy, etc., which can be called the encyclopedia of Dai society, so Dai culture is also called "Beiye Culture".

The Xishuangbanna General Buddhist Temple is also located in this area. It was the holy place for worshiping Buddha by the supreme ruler of Xishuangbanna in the past—Zhao Pianling and the head of the chieftain. It is still full of incense and many believers.

Finally, we went to see the elephants in the park, continued southward, crossed the Dai Wind and Rain Bridge, and arrived at the Yuxiang Cultural Park.

It was still early when we arrived, and the elephant babies had to eat their stomachs before they started performing. I tried to hand the baby elephant a banana, but was stopped by the staff, but after the show started, there was a special feeding session where visitors could feed them.

The performances can be described as wonderful. Under the command of the elephant trainer, the simple and simple elephants make various movements to make people laugh, and even massage people with their trunks. Between performances, tourists can ride an elephant to take pictures. But these actions that seem meaningful to humans may not have any meaning to elephants, and some performances may violate the "elephant nature". In Chimelong, Guangzhou, some animal performances have been canceled because training animals to perform movements understood by humans could be a form of abuse.

At the end of the show, the elephant bids farewell to the tourists. Last year, the elephant migration incident in Yunnan sparked heated discussions. Groups of elephant families swaggered through human cities and villages, and were regarded as a symbol of harmony and beauty. Paying attention to the protection of the living environment of animals and not interfering with their lives is perhaps the greatest respect humans have for nature. Xishuangbanna also has the Wild Elephant Valley Scenic Area, where the Asian elephants are more natural, healthier and more lively.

Tell Zhuang Xishuangjing

Another name that is easily misunderstood, the "Double Scenery" of "West" in "Gaozhuang"?

No.

In Dai language, "Gaozhuang" is a word, "Xishuang" is a word, and "Jing" is a word, which means "nine towers and twelve villages".

The monks in the temple still pass on the tradition that the Buddha wore three robes, did not hold money, collected food with alms bowls, and did not eat after noon. Eating, chanting Pali and other primitive Buddhist traditions.

The theme of the Shwedagon Pagoda Temple is a Thai-style pagoda with a height of 66.6 meters, implying that one river connects six countries (the scenic spot is adjacent to the Lancang River, which is called the Mekong River after it exits the country, and flows through China, Myanmar, Laos, Thailand, Cambodia and Vietnam Six Nations). There are four solid small towers surrounding the big tower, representing Jingdong (Myanmar), Jinglai (Chiang Rai, Thailand), Jingmai (Chiang Mai, Thailand) and Jingtong (Blang Labang, Laos), which are all the prosperity of Theravada Buddhism. place. In Buddhism, the big tower is surrounded by four small towers, implying the "Four Noble Truths"-suffering, gathering, extinction, and Tao, and also implying the four realms that constitute everything in the world-earth, fire, wind, and water. The top floor of the pagoda is enshrined with Buddha relics.

The Lancang River passes through Gaozhuang Xishuangjing, and on the side of the river is the famous Liuguo Floating Night Market. The Lancang River is the Mekong River. Because it flows through the turbulent Golden Triangle, the world-famous "Mekong River Tragedy" occurred.
