"It seems that I am still stained with Dean Zhang's light!" Zhou Sen smiled.

Speaking of Dean Zhang's personality, Xiao Yang gave two thumbs up, "Dean Zhang is really good, sending charcoal in the snow, it's great, it's so rare, it's so rare to be a good person as enthusiastic and kind as Dean Zhang, Reporter Zhou, we also welcome you to bring the program team to Cambodia, we also have a lot of overseas Chinese in our local area, we are all concerned about the motherland, care about the motherland, and use mobile phones to watch the news through the Internet." ”

"We also welcome reporter Zhou to come to Cambodia, and in a few days I will take you to the areas where our Cambodian Chinese live to interview and listen to their voices. ”

Zhou Sen nodded, "That's a good suggestion!"

Hearing that Zhou Sen adopted his suggestion, Xiao Yang was very happy.

"Thank you, reporter Zhou, I'm sorry, it's too far, I'll take you to continue to visit Angkor Wat, it's really big here!"

"Okay!" Zhou Sen agreed, and followed Xiao Yang forward.

Angkor Wat is a large and intricate complex of buildings, including pedestals, cloisters, pedalways, and pagodas, all of which are made of sand and stone, with no mortar or other adhesives between the stones, and are bound together by the regularity of the surface shape of the stones and their own weight.

Zhou Sen looked up and said to Xiao Yang: "I didn't expect the scale of Angkor Wat to be very large!"

Xiao Yang nodded, "Yes, due to the attention of Cambodia, although it cannot be compared with some famous attractions in Europe and the United States, the buildings in Europe and the United States are made of better materials, they are all precious marble, the kind that can see people, Cambodia is relatively backward, but what we see now is the best that Cambodia can preserve." ”

"The exterior color looks like gray, which can not only see the vicissitudes of history, but also represent the long history, and can also precipitate the customs of Cambodia, which is listed as a world cultural heritage, or has commemorative value!"

At that time, the masonry may not have mastered the arch technique, so Angkor Wat did not have a large hall, the stone chamber doorways were narrow and dark, and the art decoration was mainly concentrated on the exterior of the building.

Each floor has a stone carved gatehouse and a ladder connecting the upper and lower floors, there are seven stone carved pythons coiled on the railing of the stairs, and there are exquisite stone lions on both sides of the stairs, Zhou Sen stood and watched carefully for a while, nodded and said: "It's really good, this stone lion is well done, quite imposing, it looks very realistic!"

"Well, that's good!"

"And the stone python is also carved well, it really looks like it!"

Xiao Yang said: "The artistic masterpiece of Angkor Wat is not only manifested in the architecture of Angkor Wat, but also in its relief stone carvings. ”

"This is related to the religious beliefs of Cambodia, people also believe in ancient legends, there are some mythological stories, people worship truth, goodness, beauty, and heroes, just like the myth of hope, I think whether in Europe, or Asia, although different countries, different religious beliefs, but one thing is in common, that is, people like kind, beautiful things, sing praises to strong and brave heroes, pythons and stone lions are symbols of bravery. ”

The relief carvings of Angkor Wat are extremely exquisite, and full of realism, which is the essence of the whole Angkor art, in the inner wall of the Angkor Wat cloister and the columns, stone walls, cornerstones, window lintels, and railings, there are reliefs, Xiao Yang took Zhou Sen to visit them one by one, so that Zhou Sen was amazed.

Skillful in their technique, intricate scenes, vivid gestures and realistic figures, these reliefs, which at the time had already used overlapping layers to reveal far-reaching spaces, are masterpieces in the history of world art and demonstrate the artistic prowess of Khmer craftsmen.

All the pagodas, the gatehouse are decorated with stone carved lotus, the details are decorated with magnificent and exquisite, Xiao Yang took Zhou Sen, while visiting, while explaining to Zhou Sen.

Cambodia's Angkor region has thousands of relics of ancient civilizations, including a seemingly red-hot temple called "Women's Castle".

Originally known as "Bandesra", which translates to Cambodian for "seeking happiness", the locals used to call it the "Queen's Palace", which is named after the many statues of the goddess "Apasara" carved in the center of the temple.

Zhou Sen smiled, "I found that France and Cambodia are very similar at this point, the status of women is very high, and the statues of gods are designed with female statues, which is completely different from my impression of economically backward areas, where women are oppressed and bullied." ”

Xiao Yang nodded, "Yes, although the employment rate of women in India and Cambodia is far inferior to that of men, the social status of women is still lower than that of men, male society is dominant, men go out to work to earn money to support their families, and after women get married and have children, due to the need to have children, it will affect work, but I think we Chinese women are particularly amazing, after getting married and having children, we still have to help the family share the housework, and some have to go out to continue to work to make money, support themselves, and support their children." ”

"I admire that China has the highest female employment rate in the world!"

"Cambodia due to the relative economic backwardness, women's social status is obviously lower than men, which is similar to Indian, Thai women, this is related to people's concepts, and women need to have children, men do not have the trouble of having children, their career development will not be affected, coupled with the feudal remnants of male superiority and inferiority, imprisoned the development of Cambodian women. ”

"This phenomenon also exists in European and American countries, they are relatively advanced, women can get a better education, and the society is more tolerant and enlightened towards women, but I read news reports, or many female sociologists still advocate for women and advocate equality between men and women. ”

"It's really not easy to achieve equality between men and women!"

"In developed countries, there is still discrimination against women, and the social status of women is lower than that of men, let alone in developing countries, the social status of Chinese women is much higher than that of Japanese women, Korean women, Indian women, Thai women, Cambodian women, Vietnamese women, and Filipino women. ”

"I watch very Chinese TV dramas praise modern women for being independent, brave and strong, and many traffic stars vow heroines have been welcomed and recognized by the society and have achieved great success!"

"This also reflects the continuous improvement of the social status of Chinese women, and I am far away, but no matter which country, the social status of women is inferior to that of men, but there are often female gods in the statues, there are many goddesses in Greek mythology, we are familiar with Venus, Athena, etc., France has the heroine Joan of Arc, sculptures have Joan of Arc, and we also have goddess statues in Cambodia. ”

"I think that although the country is different, but human beings have good wishes, in people's hearts women symbolize the glory of motherhood, people know the greatness of maternal love, in the animal world, male animals rarely care about children, most of them are mothers to feed their children, with older children. ”

"The female sculpture represents maternal love, the brilliance of motherhood, the love and tenderness of motherhood, there are goddesses, queens to guard the country, the people here, representing the care of divinity, so there are many goddess statues, at this time, the world is connected!"
