Coming here, it is really refreshing, there are many exotic flowers and precious trees in the world, the garden is full of verdant trees, flowers, crystal water lake and lake, birds and flowers are fragrant, beautiful and beautiful.

The Wisdom Garden in the park, a gift from China to King Bhumibol for his 60th birthday, is a Chinese Jiangnan-style garden, covering an area of about 1,400 square meters, divided into three parts: the vestibule area, the pavilion area and the Shuangting Lake Stone area.

"Wow, this garden is so beautiful!" Zhou Sen exclaimed, "Our Chinese garden is really distinctive!"

Teacher Ding nodded, "Yes, it is true, our Chinese gardens are more detailed than those in Europe and the United States, we have the history and cultural heritage of the East, and the gardens in Europe and the United States emphasize the royal dignity, they have more sculptures, integrate the aesthetics and art of the West, and also have their aesthetics, giving full play to their classical European architectural style." ”

"Jiangnan garden is an outstanding representative of Chinese classical gardens, it distinctively reflects the Chinese's view of nature and life, Jiangnan gardens are divided into Jiangnan classical gardens and Jiangnan modern gardens, and classical gardens are more famous. ”

The classical garden in the south of the Yangtze River is the type that can best represent the achievements of Chinese classical garden art, which embodies the diligence and wisdom of Chinese intellectuals and skilled craftsmen, and contains philosophy, religious ideas such as Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism, as well as traditional arts such as landscape poetry and painting, which have attracted countless Chinese and foreign tourists since ancient times.

In the classical gardens of the south of the Yangtze River, the "four famous gardens" of the south of the Yangtze River are the representatives, namely the Nanjing Zhan Garden, the Suzhou Lingering Garden, the Humble Administrator's Garden, and the Wuxi Jichang Garden, in addition, the Shanghai Yu Garden, the Yangzhou Slender West Lake, the Ge Garden, the He Garden, the Suzhou Canglang Pavilion, the Lion Forest, and the Nantong Water Painting Garden are all models of the classical gardens in the south of the Yangtze River.

Zhou Sen nodded, "We are very big in China, so Lin Yuan also has a lot of styles, Mr. Ding is right, Jiangnan Lin Garden is the most famous, these domestic attractions, we have also been to, it is indeed very beautiful, these attractions attract tourists from all over the country all year round, and also attract a lot of foreign tourists who come here." ”

Mr. Ding took Zhou Sen down and took Zhou Sen to visit the People's Stadium in Bangkok, Thailand, where there are complete sports facilities for visitors to enjoy entertainment and watch various sports competitions.

"It's still a good place to host sporting events, and it can also be open to the public and organize some sports activities on their own. ”

Teacher Ding took Zhou Sen to visit Yunshi Temple again.

Wat Stone, located in Ayutaya, north of Bangkok, between the Bangkok Galada Palace and the National Parliament building, is a Buddhist temple made entirely of marble with a roof covered with Chinese glazed tiles.

The building of Yunshi Temple is rich in strong Western color, which enshrines 50 Buddha statues of various dynasties in Thailand, integrates Chinese, Indian and other Buddhist plastic art styles, is the most Western-colored temple in Thai Buddhist temple architecture, and is regarded as a model of Buddhist sculpture in the 19th century.

There are stone lions on both sides of the main hall gate, this design Zhou Sen is still quite familiar, because many ancient buildings in China in order to show the dignity of the owner's identity, will put two stone lions on both sides of the door, but even if there are two stone lions, the shape of the Chinese stone lion and the shape of the Thai stone lion is different.

As a Chinese, Zhou Sen still prefers Chinese-style stone lions, because they look more huge, mighty, and have a sense of majesty, while Thai stone lions sometimes have less formal shapes, different shapes and shapes.

"Their lion shape is quite different from our Chinese lions!"

"Yes, it's because of historical and cultural differences, religious beliefs, and there are many reasons for differences, so I won't expand them one by one. ”

"Good!"

Walking further, you can see that there is a golden Buddha of Sakyamuni about 3 meters high in the hall, and the windows of the Buddha hall imitate the architectural style of Western European churches, and the Thai lattice pattern is assembled with stained glass.

The Buddha statue of Ching La in the main Buddha hall is a replica of the famous Phitsanulok Buddha statue in Thailand, behind the main hall is a large courtyard paved with marble, vast and quiet, surrounded by corridors on three sides, and there are 51 Buddha statues of various types in various periods of Thailand in the cloister on display, the image is realistic, the posture is different, and it is lifelike.

Teacher Ding said: "The main Buddha hall is a fusion of Chinese and Indian Buddhist plastic art styles, is a model of Thai Buddhism in the 19th century, very representative, the Buddha shrine behind the Buddha hall, there is a Buddha statue of the Buddha of the Vawati art period. ”

In addition to the collection of Buddha statues with Thai characteristics, there is also a special collection of Buddha statues from China and Japan.

Zhou Sen found that Chinese culture and religion still had a profound influence on the Chinese, and there were many ornate pavilions built in the temple, with a marble bell tower on the opposite bank and a Bodhi tree.

Seeing the Bodhi tree, Zhou Sen felt very familiar, he had seen this kind of tree in the domestic garden.

Teacher Ding told Zhou Sen that legend has it that more than 2,000 years ago, the Buddha Shakyamuni was cultivated under the Bodhi tree to achieve positive fruits, in India, whether Hinduism, Buddhism or Jainism regard the Bodhi tree as a "sacred tree", and many countries also implement "national treasure" protection for the Bodhi tree.

Speaking of Bodhi Tree, Zhou Sen's memory is watching "Journey to the West" when he was a child.

"Teacher Ding, I was not interested in religion, when I was a child, I sat in front of the TV, watched "Journey to the West", watched Tang Seng lead the scripture study team to the West Heaven, Tang Seng sat under the Bodhi tree to meditate and chant to show his reverence for the Buddha. ”

At this time, the background music sounded in his ears, Tang Seng recalled his life experience, his father was killed by bad people, and his mother put the newborn baby in a bamboo basket in order to save Tang Seng, and the bamboo basket drifted down the river and was rescued by the abbot. ”

Tang Seng fate twists and turns, life experience is also very pitiful, fortunately he was rescued by the abbot of the temple since he was a child, cultivated as an adult, taught him to chant scriptures, taught him Buddhism, let him be kind since he was a child, reluctant to step on a small ant, and later by Guanyin Bodhisattva guidance, led the scripture learning team, Sun Wukong, Zhu Bajie, Sha Seng and Bailongma went to the west to learn scriptures. ”

"Encounter all kinds of demons and monsters along the way, ups and downs, just like the ending song sings, spring, autumn, winter and summer, ups and downs, dare to ask where the road is, the road is at your feet!"

"At that time, I was still young, listening to this song, I had a firm belief in learning from Tang Seng, not afraid of difficulties, not afraid of setbacks, not even afraid of failure, daring to fight with demons and monsters, daring to ask where the road was, that kind of courage, that kind of dream, hard-working, persistent pursuit, and finally defeated the demons and monsters, experienced nine hundred and eighty-one difficulties, and obtained the true scriptures. ”

"So in my heart, the Bodhi tree represents the cultivation, improvement, self-breakthrough and transcendence of life, and has a very sacred status, and it is difficult for other tree species to be compared with the Bodhi tree. ”

After listening to Zhou Sen's feelings, Teacher Ding also agreed, "Yes, "Journey to the West" is one of the four famous works in China, Wu Chengen is indeed remarkable, his life has also been tempered, sometimes suffering can temper a person's mind, this famous book has achieved great success, but also influenced many Chinese, many foreigners have also admired and read it, and are full of praise!"
