After leaving the Philippines, Dean Zhang arranged for Zhou Sen to go to India, and Zhou Sen was no stranger to this country.

"The Eastern Han Dynasty called it Tianzhu, and there were Tang monks who went to learn scriptures as a good story, this country is still very distinctive!"

"When it comes to India, what comes to our mind is Ah San, India's song and dance movies are also famous, and they come to a paragraph at every turn, singing and dancing, with a sense of joy and humor, and when watching Indian movies, they can't help but sing and dance a paragraph!" Liu Dazhuang said.

Zhou Sen smiled, "Yes, ancient India is one of the four ancient civilizations, speaking of the name of this country, there is still a source, Indian, Tang Yunyue, there are many moons, Si Qi said, Liang with its soil sages to follow the track, guide all the royal things, such as the moon shines, because of the righteousness, it is called India." ”

"India's gold-and-stone era, or the Age of Copper, but metals have also entered human life, and the culture of the gold-and-stone era is mainly found between the Ganges and Yamuna rivers, as well as Rajasthan, Punjab and Gujarat. ”

"Speaking of the early civilization of India, it is still worth introducing, I believe that most domestic audiences are not very familiar with it!"

The oldest known Indian civilization is the Indus Valley Civilization of the 3rd millennium BC, often named after Harappa, where its representative site is located, and in West Punjab, Pakistan, as the Harappan culture.

The Harappan culture, having reached considerable development and maturity, declined and eventually disappeared altogether for reasons unknown to this day.

Replacing the Harappan culture was a new cultural system brought by the Aryans who entered India from the northwest, and this culture, sometimes called the Vedic culture by its sacred name, is the origin of classical Indian culture.

The caste system probably already existed at this time, and this historical period is the so-called period of the nations, because Buddhism arose during this period, which is often called the time of the Buddha, and the spiritual life of India during the age of the nations was very active, and many philosophical or religious schools appeared.

The Sixteen Kingdoms were 16 powerful kingdoms or republics that covered the fertile plains of the Indus River, but there were other smaller states scattered along the area.

Liu Dazhuang was very curious and asked Zhou Sen: "What are the 16 countries?"

Zhou Sen replied: "The 16 males that are usually referred to are Kassa, Kansara, Agaja, Magadha, Phriyama, Mora, Zhiti, Vaqa, Kulu, Panjara, Machaya, Shurasena, Ashpara, Ajandi, Gandhara and Gandhara, which are the Kanshusha, and among the many Indian states, Magadha in present-day Bihar is gradually gaining the upper hand. ”

"At the end of the 6th century BCE, Darius I, king of the Achaemenid dynasty of Persia, conquered the Indus Plain. ”

"From the Mauryan Dynasty to the Gupta era, there have been a lot of changes, a lot of stories, we will not expand in detail, if the audience and friends are interested, go to the history of India, there are detailed records in history textbooks, in the south it has not expanded too far, in literature, there is the greatest poet of ancient India, Kalidasa. ”

"This is an ancient country, the history is still very long, there have been a lot of changes in this land, there have been a lot of wars, generation after generation, India has been built into what it is now, this country is still very close to China, although there are often frictions on the border, but this populous country, it is still worth studying, Dean Zhang let us go to India for a field trip, I think the trip to India is still very valuable. ”

"According to the old rules, let's first introduce the geographical location of India, from the Himalayas to the south, all the way into the Indian Ocean, the north is the mountainous area, the central is the Indus Gangetic plain, the south is the Deccan Plateau and its coastal plains on the east and west sides, the plains account for about 40% of the total area, the mountains only account for 25%, and the plateau accounts for 1/3. ”

"But most of these mountains and plateaus are not more than 1,000 meters above sea level, and the low and gentle terrain has an absolute advantage in India, not only convenient transportation, but also in the tropical monsoon climate and fertile soil conditions such as alluvial soil and tropical black soil suitable for agricultural production, most of the land can be used for agriculture, and crops can grow all year round, with unique natural conditions. ”

"There are still their advantages, so let's talk about the climate in India. ”

India is hot all over the country, mostly in the tropical monsoon climate, while the Thar Desert in western India has a tropical desert climate, with more pronounced monsoons in summer and less monsoon in winter.

"When it comes to Indian songs, I can think of many popular Indian movie songs, but we want to introduce one, "The Will of the People", this song, which is especially important to Indians, the lyrics are like this. ”

The hearts and destiny of the Indians are under thy control, and thy name makes the whole nation rejoice, and the Punjab, and Sindh, and Gyalat and Maratha, and the Dravidian, and the Olisa, and the Bengal, and the Vendina and the Himalaya reverberate, and the Jumunah and the Ganges answer, and the waves of the Indian Ocean sing and sing praises and bless thee, and all men are waiting for thee to be saved, and the hearts and destiny of the Indians are under thy control, and thou art forever invincible under the world.

When the melody sounds, people sing and dance, there is a kind of cohesion, and the general idea of the song is written.

Zhou Sen asked Liu Dazhuang, "What are you looking forward to when you go to India, and what are you going to see?"

Liu Dazhuang smiled, "I heard that there are peacocks in India, I really want to see the peacocks, I also want to see the Bodhi tree, and I also heard that the trains in India are densely packed with people!"

Zhou Sen nodded, "Buddhism has always regarded the Bodhi tree as a holy tree, in India, Sri Lanka, Myanmar in the jungle temples, generally planted Bodhi tree, India is designated as the national tree, you can still go to see it, Tang monk to learn scriptures, under the Bodhi tree to meditate and chant, to show the devotion to the Buddha, in India Bodhi tree has a certain meaning and unique symbol, it is still worth seeing." ”

"India is one of the fastest growing countries in the world, the economic growth rate is remarkable, or has changed a lot of poverty and backward conditions, compared with the previous life, there have been a lot of improvements, but due to India's large population, the average GDP is very low, many Indians still live a poor life. ”

"We can all see these in Indian movies, Indian movies are also very realistic, there have been many very well-known Indian movies, but they still leave a deep impression on everyone, and they have their own funny and humorous character, which can always make people laugh. ”

"Although living in poverty, but Indians can still have fun in the bitterness, with their own humorous aura, as soon as they appear, they can amuse everyone, our trip to India, is also to understand the neighboring countries, although there are often frictions on the border, but from the perspective of the overall pattern, the community of human destiny, we are all broad-minded to the surrounding countries, know themselves and know the other, in order to survive a hundred battles, this is also Chinese wisdom!"
