Xiao Yang took Zhou Sen to visit around, and Zhou Sen was also amazed.

Cambodia is a country with strong religious beliefs, the carvings of Yavarman VII who can be seen everywhere, temples and stupas everywhere, which left a deep impression on Zhou Sen, the whole people believe in Buddhism, and most of the people have good intentions, which is still very similar to Thailand, when Zhou Sen interviewed Thailand, most of the people he met were still kind, and when he saw Zhou Sen's interview, he would smile at the camera.

The relief carving of Angkor Wat left a deep impression on Zhou Sen, the technique is skillful, the figure posture is vivid, the image is realistic, there is a statue of a goddess, the palace of the queen, the building is famous for being small and exquisite, delicate and clear, magnificent, and has the reputation of the pearl of Angkor monuments and the diamond of Angkor art.

"Wow, it's really good-looking, it's really hard to make such a huge shape!"

Xiao Yang nodded, "It's really good, it can become a world cultural heritage, it's still one of the few, it's very commemorative!"

Left a deep impression on Zhou Sen, Zhou Sen thought that the social status of women in Cambodia was very low, but he did not expect that in Angkor Wat, there were statues of goddesses in reliefs, and people regarded the glory of women's maternal love and holiness as very sacred, and made them into reliefs to revere them.

The Apsara fairies are the gods, and the job of these peerless beauties is to entertain the gods with dance, and in the Angkor region, their graceful and graceful figures have become a distinctive feature of Angkor.

Xiao Yang told Zhou Sen that it was not easy, that the technology of engraving was not as developed as it is now, and that at that time, with the most advanced carving technology at that time, the overlapping layers were used to show far-reaching space, which can be called a masterpiece in the history of world art, showing the outstanding artistic talent of the Khmer skilled craftsmen.

Half of the ruins of the flames, half of the dream of the sea, a Southeast Asian natural and cultural tourism is about to begin, Cambodia, an ancient civilization with a history of three or four thousand years, full of mystery, although their building appearance is made of large stones, compared with European buildings, it seems rough, there is no majesty and atmosphere of European architecture, but Angkor Wat also proves to the world that there is human civilization here, the vicissitudes of history.

Angkor Wat, the "City of Temples", is the product of a perfect combination of creative ambition and spiritual beliefs, and the meticulousness of the Cambodians has been exerted to the extreme in Angkor Wat, the world's largest religious building and the originator of the temples.

What impressed Zhou Sen was the humble house made of thick stones, which looked unremarkable, but the rubber tree in front of the courtyard grew tenaciously and full of life, which shocked Zhou Sen, and Angkor Wat was the only live-action location in the "Tomb Raider" movie.

Speaking of trees, Zhou Sen was very curious, and asked Xiao Yang beside him: "What are the common trees in Cambodia, there are many French plane trees, and there are azaleas in Italy, can you introduce me to the common trees in Cambodia?"

Xiao Yang smiled, "There are still many trees in Cambodia, the common ones are rubber trees, banana trees, durian trees, coconut trees, palm trees, betel nut trees, frangipani trees, rambutan trees, papaya trees, star fruit trees, cardamom trees, coffee trees, etc. ”

"Let's first introduce Cambodia's national tree, the magical sugar palm full of treasures, the sugar palm is the national tree of Cambodia, it is said that there are 30 million trees in Cambodia. ”

"This tree is very abundant in Cambodia, and because of its ability to produce sugar, the lives of the local people are closely related to this tree, and people call it the national tree of Cambodia. ”

"Palm sugar is taken from the inflorescences of the tree, and during the sugar harvesting season, local farmers hang a few bamboo tubes around their waists, climb up the top of the tree along the bamboo ladder tied to the trunk of the sugar palm tree, cut off a little of the male flowers, and hang a bamboo tube underneath, and the sugar water flows into the bamboo tube drop by drop. ”

"This method of sugar collection is more primitive, almost all of them are collected manually, modernization is far behind, Cambodia's industry is underdeveloped, many stay in manual collection, and the output is also backward than other countries. ”

"Fresh sugar water is cool and sweet, and in addition to drinking it directly, sugar water can also be boiled into sugar cubes for long-term storage. ”

"Sugar water can also be used to brew palm wine and palm vinegar, cooking is also inseparable from sugar, people's daily life, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar and sugar are needed, without any of them, always feel that there is something missing, so this tree is very important in Cambodia, is an important local cash crop. ”

"Of course, sugar palm is not only used to produce sugar, but also has other uses, and its fruit is like a large purple round eggplant, and when it is cut, the fruit inside is transparent. ”

"Well, it's like this!" Xiao Yang himself demonstrated, "It also has pulp, there is juice in the pulp, it is not very sweet, but the taste is smooth and fragrant, and it is often used to boil porridge with glutinous rice and coconut milk, and appears in many desserts." ”

"Girls like to eat desserts, and children also like to eat them, and the porridge or dessert made in this way is very delicious and tastes very good, so it is very popular, and it is sold as desserts, and it is also welcomed by people. ”

"Healthy eating is now promoted all over the world, and Cambodia is the same, although the economy is backward, but people are still full of expectations for good health, and businessmen are trying their best to meet people's needs. ”

Xiao Yang was quite happy when he said this, "This kind of tree is not many in other countries, but there are more of them in Cambodia, so Cambodians are still proud to have this kind of tree." ”

"There are still many advantages of palm sugar, the taste is fragrant, it has a caramel taste, and it is rich in a variety of minerals and trace elements. ”

"We know that the human body needs various minerals and trace elements, which are very good for human health!"

"The biggest feature is that the mouth is sweet, the taste is sweet in the middle and back of the tongue, increasing the layering of the taste in the mouth, this natural taste is can't be replicated by sucrose and food additives, so it is an ideal raw material for drinks. ”

"We see a lot of artificial food additives in desserts in developed countries, although it increases the taste of food, it is indeed delicious, but food additives are added more, or not good for the human body, Cambodia's economy is backward, many are collected manually, food additives are much less, and it is healthier to eat the human body. ”

"You can also make pastries, pastries are suitable for all ages, the family sits together happily, young and old, all like to eat some pastries, which are very popular in Cambodia, and make pastries with palm sugar, such as cookies, biscuits, the biggest feature is that it is crispy, not too sweet, will not cause too much pressure on blood sugar, and is easy to be degraded by the human body, which is incomparable to sucrose. ”

Zhou Sen said: "It sounds really good, it's too sweet, I will feel more greasy, not delicious, I still like to eat something that is not too sweet, and I won't gain weight!"

Xiao Yang nodded, "In addition to being edible, the sugar palm is a treasure all over the body!"

"Its trunk can be used as a pillar and purlin for building a house, and its thick trunk can be hollowed out to make a canoe. ”

"Leaves can be made into fans, can also be tied to bamboo in rows, used to make walls, the roof, but also relatively firm, do not worry about falling down, in Cambodia, you can see a lot of people themselves hand-built houses, with stones little by little piled up, no cement, just stones, the roof can be made of sugar palm leaves into a fan, tied to the bamboo to make the roof, can prevent rain, no leakage, there are many benefits. ”

"Tearing leaves into strips is a good material for weaving mats and straw hats, and everyone knows that Cambodia is hot in summer, so if you can wear a hat, it will be cooler. ”

"It can also be woven into small boxes, which can be used to hold rice or make gift boxes, which is very practical and can be used in life. ”

"You can also cut the petioles into thin slices, you can rub the reins of oxen, weave baskets and make brooms, you can sweep the floor, and the brown hair on the trunk of trees can be used to rub ropes, etc. ”

Zhou Sen nodded, "It's very useful, it's very practical!"
