Chapter 295 National Museum of Malaysia
After visiting the KLCC Aquarium, Xiao Fang proposed to visit the National Museum of Malaysia, which is the most convenient place to learn about the history of a country.
Zhou Sen agrees with this point of view, he went abroad for interviews, and has also been to many national museums, the scale of general national museums is relatively large, much more than the exhibits of ordinary museums, the docents are more professional, and the booth layout is more professional and beautiful, to open his eyes, it is also a good opportunity, so he readily agreed to visit together.
The National Museum of Malaysia is located in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, this museum is located near the Lake Garden, the National Museum of Malaysia is a magnificent building, Zhou Sen has also been to many museums before, giving him the feeling that he has gone to different countries, each country has a different history and culture, Southeast Asian countries, also have their own unique history and culture, these Southeast Asian countries have their own merits, and foreign cultures are very attractive.
People have a sense of curiosity, the more unfamiliar, the more they want to understand, Zhou Sen followed Xiao Fang, while listening to Xiao Fang to explain to him, while looking curiously, the appearance of the museum is very traditional Malay elements, the characteristics of this kind of architecture and Zhou Sen has been to Thailand and Cambodia before is a bit similar, the roof of the house is also sharp, there is a slope, Xiao Fang told Zhou Sen This is because the weather in Southeast Asia is relatively hot, and it rains, if the rain accumulates in the middle of the roof, the roof will be moldy, and it will rot after a long time.
Therefore, the houses in Southeast Asia basically have slopes on the roof, and for the sake of beauty, the roofs have sharp corners, and the pointed ones are made into various different shapes, Thailand is like this, Cambodia is like this, Malaysia is still like this, but the history and culture of each country, as well as religious beliefs, are slightly different, and the shape of the construction is also different.
The National Museum of Malaysia has many different collections, the first collection, the dark red roof, the roof has slopes, the roof also has sharp corners, the white wall has the Western church-like high wall, it looks solemn and solemn, the white wall is decorated with Malaysian murals, Zhou Sen can't understand what is painted on the mural, he stands in front of the mural and looks at it, it seems to be depicting an ancient story.
It depicts a group of people, with different appearances, looking like primitive humans, from the primeval forest to the city life, those people from living in the primeval forest, holding bows and arrows, hunting for a living, making animal fur into clothes and wearing on their bodies, a group of hunters getting together and celebrating around the bonfire, to gradually having human civilization, moving from the primeval forest to urban life, this is really a magical development process.
There are rockeries as embellishments next to them, rockeries have different shapes, which are very interesting, and there are plantain trees with Southeast Asian characteristics, like a small garden, which is very chic, the National Museum of Malaysia, these words are written in Malay, and gold is used as the font color, which looks solemn on the white wall.
Xiao Fang told Zhou Sen that in Southeast Asian countries, he likes gold and often uses gold as the main color, Zhou Sen nodded, he has been to Thailand, and he has seen a lot of gold.
Walking into the Malaysian Museum, it was really an eye-opener for Zhou Sen, there was a huge sculpture in front of him, the color is very bright, and European and American countries, they are all bronze sculptures, which seem to be relatively ancient, and the sculptures in Southeast Asia are partly influenced by Western sculptures, but there are also some local characteristics.
They like to use bright colors, such as yellow, green, orange-red, gold as the main color to make a variety of sculptures, the Malaysian hornbill in front of them, just use these bright colors, Xiao Fang told Malaysian hornbills that there are many kinds, the colors are not the same, some are different colors on the top of the head, some are the color of the body, the color of the wings is different, it is quite interesting, this bird is unique to Southeast Asia, suitable for living in hot places, there are many such birds in the rainforest.
Xiao Fang told Zhou Sen that the mural on the white wall was a map of Malaysia's national history, and before Xiao Fang explained, Zhou Sen guessed probably, and he smiled, "I thought it was about the historical trajectory of human beings from primeval forests to modern urban life." ”
"Hahaha!" Xiao Fang smiled, "There is also that meaning!"
"When it comes to the history of Malaysia, it is also related to our Chinese Silk Road, and there is a treasure ship with the flag of 'Zheng' in the museum, which is the friendship left by Zheng He when he passed through Malaysia when he went to the West. ”
Referring to Zheng He's trip to the West, well-known at home and abroad, Western historians also admire this great man of China very much, this museum also has exhibits that vividly show the feat of the time, Xiao Fang told Zhou Sen that Zheng He occupies an important place in the historical records of Malaysia, not only the Chinese love Zheng He, but also the Malays and other ethnic groups love and respect Zheng He.
"Zheng He is indeed very remarkable, at that time, his fleet had to go through a lot of dangerous seas, in order to reach the West, that is completely unknown, Zheng He is very exploratory, the courage to overcome difficulties, his fleet also encountered wind and waves on the way, if ordinary people may be scared away by this difficulty, but Zheng He was not scared away, he will continue to sum up experience, improve his fleet, and develop the shipbuilding industry, which is a very remarkable achievement, become a Chinese navigator. ”
"Not only do Chinese respect this ancestor of the Silk Road, but people from Southeast Asian countries also respect this great navigator!"
This museum is the largest museum in Malaysia, where Zheng He's treasure ship is displayed, which shows the respect of Malaysians for Zheng He, and also cherishes the friendship brought by Zheng He.
The first mural from the right is the statue of the god Brahma in India, indicating the introduction of Hinduism, speaking of which, Xiaofang told Zhou Sen that the Indian religion was still relatively advanced at that time, and some scriptures were introduced from India, just like Tang Seng went to India to learn scriptures, the Indian scriptures at that time expounded and interpreted Buddhism more desirable, not far away, to India to seek the true scriptures, and the story of Tang monks to learn scriptures has also been praised through the ages.
Zheng He and Tang Seng both had a great influence on future generations, one was a navigator who dared to venture and explore, and the other was a monk who sincerely sought the true scriptures, their stories are touching, and have been praised through the ages, until now, there are still many people who come to pay homage to these two ancients.
