Ananda Temple was once destroyed, but it has been completely restored, and the paintings on the walls have been retouched and painted, and in 1900, on the occasion of the 900th anniversary of the temple's construction, the top of the tower was also paced with a layer of gold, which made it look even more brilliant.

When Zhou Sen came to visit this temple, he was infected by the splendor of the top of the tower, and felt that this temple was still very beautiful.

"I've found that Myanmar, like Thailand, likes to use golden yellow as the main color!"

"Yes, Myanmar is very close to Thailand, and neighboring countries will influence each other!"

"Golden yellow can show dignity, with such a color, it seems, it will feel more magnificent, these temples, let believers come here to worship, have spiritual sustenance, there is a place to look forward to it, people in reality, some work encountered boring, troubled things, stuffy in the heart can not vent, just come here, look at the brilliant colors here, quiet, sit here, will also calm the mood!"

The Dharma Yangji Pagoda is a Buddhist pagoda located in Bagan, the widest religious building in Bagan and an outstanding example of brick pagoda architecture, this red brick temple can be seen from all sides of Bagan.

This stupa is so sturdy that it is said that if a needle could be inserted between the two bricks when the pagoda was built, the brick-laying craftsman would be killed, perhaps because of Nalehu's cruel demands, the pagoda still stands here without moving.

"It sounds a bit cruel, at that time, the foreman who supervised the work of the craftsmen had a leather whip in his hand, and if he didn't obey, he would be beaten badly!"

"It's not easy or comfortable for others to force them to work!"

"In this state, isn't it easy!"

"Hmm!" Zhou Sen nodded, "It sounds so cruel, the craftsman has almost no other choice, what else can he do but be obedient and avoid being beaten?"

But Nalehu did not finish this spectacular stupa in the end, because he was murdered before the stupa was built.

"It's still a mystery, and I don't know how he died!"

"Anyway, that's it, although he has been dead for many years, he just left this building to people, and it has become a representative building. ”

Known as the "pyramid" of Bagan, the Dharma Yangji Pagoda has a unique shape with interlocking arches and windows in the cloister that let in natural light.

Located in a small village in the east of Bagan, Damasgata was built in 1196 as a well-known stupa, other stupas in Bagan are generally square, unlike other stupas, the base of Damasgada is a five-pointed star, and there are delicate Buddha statues standing on the corners of the stupa.

It is said that the king of Bagan, Nanabadi Xuehu, received four sacred Buddhist relics from the king of Sri Lanka, and in order to better preserve and protect these precious items, he built this sanctuary to place the holy relics.

"There are still a lot of legends, this is the version that has been handed down later, and I don't know if the holy relics in the legends are not effective, how many years, people are always eager to see the holy things, but how many years, the people who can really see the holy things, almost nothing, always with a mysterious color!"

Zhou Sen smiled, "Legends are always legends, it's so magical, no one has ever seen a holy thing, and they don't know what a holy thing is, but I just hope that there is a very magical thing, with people's beautiful hopes, the more mysterious the legend, the more attractive it is, and the more tourists who come here to visit!"

Bagan is a historical city in Myanmar, where people can not only feel the splendid splendor of Myanmar's Buddhist culture, but also see the Bagan Pavilion, which symbolizes the friendship between China and Myanmar.

Bagan is located in the middle of Myanmar, on the left bank of the middle reaches of the Irrawaddy River, southwest of Mandalay, which was the capital of Bagan, the first unified feudal dynasty in ancient Myanmar, from the 11th century to the 13th century.

Burmese people believe that shoes are the dirtiest and dirtiest items, whether it is to enter the Buddhist temple, see the teacher, or enter the pagoda courtyard, there is a strict taboo, that is, you must take off your shoes, even socks can not be worn, in the minds of Burmese people, stupas and Buddhist temples are the most sacred places, monks are the representatives of the Buddha, must not wear the dirtiest shoes to worship the Buddha, worship the pagoda and see the monks.

"People still have great respect for the Buddha, this is our etiquette here, and everyone consciously abides by it!"

Since ancient times, Burmese farmers have relied on cattle for their lives, and regard cattle as "loyal friends" and "greatest benefactors", and because of this, many Burmese people, especially Burmese farmers, avoid eating beef, believing that eating beef is an "ungrateful" betrayal.

"I have introduced to you before that Burmese people are still relatively patriarchal, in countries like Myanmar and Thailand and Laos, men are still the main manual workers, and their status in the family is still relatively high. ”

Burmese people regard women's tube skirts as unclean, and it is strictly forbidden for women to dry tube skirts at a height higher than human heads.

In Myanmar, it is forbidden for women to climb the base of the pagoda, and it is forbidden for women to put gold on the Buddha statues.

"The status of women in Myanmar is really like the status of Chinese women, and the status of Chinese women is much higher than that of Myanmar women in the family!"

"Whenever I watch your hit Chinese TV series, I can always see those strong women, tiger mothers, very domineering women!"

"Yes!" Zhou Sen smiled, "The status of our Chinese women in the family is getting higher and higher, especially in recent years, with China's reform and opening up, more and more women have moved from the family to the workplace, becoming working women, some are white-collar workers, and their income is higher than that of men of the same age!"

"It's not easy for women to hold up half the sky!"

Burmese people believe that the head is the noblest place for a person, and generally do not like to be touched by others.

"But you'll find an interesting phenomenon, Burmese people like to use their heads to carry things, and a lot of women, or men, they like to carry things on their heads!"

Zhou Sen nodded, "Yes, it's very strange, sometimes, I find that things are very heavy, if it were me, I wouldn't use my head to hold it, but to hold it with my hands, why can they hold so many things on their heads?"

"Maybe I'm used to it, and I've developed a sense of balance!"
