It is a sect of Islamic religion based on the Qur'an, which uses whirling dances to achieve spiritual goals. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
The music is accompanied by a strong religious ritual and an elder chanting throughout, with a high-pitched and penetrating voice. Their music and dance follow a certain religious ritual.
At a time when human consciousness is still dominant, there is a joyful atmosphere on the stage, the striking of musical instruments is full of power and beauty, and the wildness and handsomeness of Arab men are very full. As the music progressed, the men began to behave in a way that shocked Yunluo, who could understand that it was the power of religion, but it was too weird.
They began to show more and more feminine charm, whether it was dance or expression, they showed some feminine colors, showing the feminine beauty of the man's personality that was withheld due to social roles. A man dressed as a prince came up and began a 40-minute rapid spin in one direction, which was unimaginable to ordinary people. He spun rapidly, and his huge, heavy skirt flew into the air.
The character slowly began to listen to God, and a happy expression appeared as if he saw the voice of Allah. The old man who sang began to completely abandon the shaking of his consciousness from the clouds, and he could clearly feel a kind of singing voice from within life after the unity of heaven and man.
The dancers around him knelt in a circle, and there was the madness that led to the sight of God that led to overjoyed joy and wept with joy.
Simple stage, simple costumes, simple musical instruments. The high-pitched yet peaceful singing leads people into a kind of divine world. The beauty of Yunluo made Yunluo experience another color of this heroic and warlike nation.
The Prophet Muhammad said to Ali: "You belong; It belongs to you. Hearing this, an ecstatic Ali unconsciously began to dance. This time. What else can you do besides dancing? Only through dance can joy last forever in the flow.
Muhammad said to Jaffang: "You are similar in appearance and personality. You belong and belong to you. Hearing this, Jia Fang became obsessed, and then began to dance. At this time, in addition to dancing. What else can you do? Only through dancing can peace be brought back to the heart.
Dance used to be. It is still a habitual way of life among some of the more primitive people. People need to drink water when they are thirsty, they need to eat when they are hungry, and they need to take medicine when they are sick, and these are still just particle actions in a certain situation. Dance is much higher than them. She's like breathing, spitting and spitting, never stopping.
Dance when you are happy, and dance when you are sad; Come, the clouds fall and dance; You go, the clouds fall and dance; The clouds fall for the dance of life, but also for the dance of death.
Dance was probably originally a natural phenomenon for everyone, but why did Nalan Shiqi and Yunluo forget it now? In the end, it was the ritual religion that imprisoned Nalan Shiqi and Yunluo's joy and anger. Or does civilization suppress the throbbing of the heart? Therefore, you can only stretch out without scruples in a world where no one exists.
So, Sophie's use of dance as a form of practice is really the greatest respect for nature, then. Is it also a metaphor for dissatisfaction and contempt for reality?
During the reign of the Umayyad dynasty in the late 7th and early 8th centuries, the rulers lived in luxury and corruption, court battles continued, and devout Muslims began to practice their own religious practices characterized by poverty, asceticism, and asceticism due to dissatisfaction and helplessness with reality. They strictly follow the teachings, teachings, and religious practices.
Following the example of the early piety and simplicity of the life of the Prophet Muhammad and his disciples, they hoped to protest in order to find inner purity and spiritual comfort. They were dressed in coarse woollen knitted clothes. or widowed from the dust, pure heart and few desires. contemplative meditation, chanting and praying; Or roam the world, preaching along the way.
Earn a living by handing out or working in order to reach the mystical realm of "silence", "no cloud falling without a master", and "cloud falling into Allah". By the late 8th century, the Abbasid period, with the rise of the translation movement, various philosophical and religious ideas from ancient Greece, Persia, and India infiltrated Islam.
The practice theories of Neo-Platonism and Indian Yoga had an important influence on Sufi mysticism, which gradually developed from ascetic asceticism to mysticism and appeared in the form of religious theories.
Sophie's path of cultivation is a combination of extreme suffering and bliss, a collision of water and fire, a quiet and inaction, and a fierce struggle. Outside the mainstream of Sunni and Shia, she is the mysticism of the Islamic world.
In this way, this is similar to the old scholars of Huaguo. Think of the seven sages of the Wei and Jin Dynasties, advocate the study of Lao Zhuang, advocate metaphysics, do not follow the etiquette law, gather under the bamboo forest, lie on the side of the guqin, there is a light sound of wine, and you can talk about it. They are all for the sake of escapism, but the difference is that Sophie cultivates herself in silence and inaction to seek peace of mind and spirit.
The Seven Sages of the Bamboo Forest satirized the hypocrisy of the Sima court with their sympathy, laughter, anger and scolding, and somewhat used alcohol to anesthetize themselves to get rid of the pain and depression of their careers.
Because of the deep pain, Ji Kang has the ancient song "Guangling San"; Because of her dissatisfaction with reality, Sophie seeks detachment through dance, which is Sufi dancing.
The best place to watch a Sufi dance show is the Al Gori Palace, located in the heart of Cairo next to the Al-Azhar Mosque, opposite the Hariri Market. It is said to be a "palace", but in fact it is just a gray three-story building, and against the backdrop of the magnificent mosque next to it, this "palace" is simply a little cold and bitter.
Many people say that finding the Gori Palace is not only a physical job, but also a technical job, because it is difficult to find, and it is "difficult" to steal, because the preconceived understanding of the word "palace" is making trouble, using a microscope to find the Himalayas, you say you will look for thousands of years?
The Sufi dance performance is free and takes place three times a week, on Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Saturdays, with admission starting at 6:30 p.m. and the official performance usually starts at 8 p.m. and lasts about 90 minutes. Location: Ghuri Palace, next to the Al-Sque Mosque, opposite the Hariri Market in Cairo.
After waking up in the morning. Yunluo kept his eyes closed, lying quietly, and the sound of the river flowing seemed to come from his ears. The sound of the wings of waterfowl lapping on the water, and the joyful singing of people. Bursts of dry hot air are mixed with the smell of fresh earth and fresh grass leaves.
Is this the air that was more than 3,000 years ago? Is this the Nile?
When Yunluo opened his eyes with trepidation, he looked up and saw a clear blue sky. The blue is so pure, as if there are a few wisps of white clouds like catkins. Yunluo slowly stood up and looked up. The sun rises on the horizon, and the earth is vast and empty in the morning mist.
The Nile, which brought eternal life to Egypt, sparkles in the golden sun. The dark green water ripples in the river, and the banks are covered with triangular shapes, and the top of the stem spreads into an umbrella-like green papyrus.
There was a burst of excitement in my heart for no reason, the birthplace of ancient civilization more than 3,000 years ago. Right here, right in front of Yunluo's eyes. Yunluo is in the street of 3,000 years ago, passing through the flow of people. The city of Memphis is much bigger than Yunluo thought, with tall date palms and palm trees lining the streets, and people of different colors and costumes walking the streets.
Libyans, Nubians, Canaanites, Amurus, Cretans, Cypriots. Different voices, different words. The merchants were smiling and peddling their wares, oriental cloth, Hittite honey. Cretan pottery, Lebanese glass bottles, you name it.
In Memphis, the rich and the poor seem to be undivided, with dry-brick huts beneath the tall buildings and alleys beside the wide garden villas. You can also see the noisy scene of people and animals coming and going, and camels and donkeys carrying heavy loads are the most common animals here. The city was filled with shouts, bargains, and laughter.
Travel, especially in Egypt, is synonymous with visiting the ancient world, and when Yunluo wakes up from a dream 3,000 years ago, Nalan Shiqi and Yunluo prepare to visit the originator of the lower pyramids, the Steppyramidofzoser, and Memphis, the capital city that Yunluo had just lost in his dream.
The Step Pyramid is in Sakkara, also near Memphis, far from the city. Nalan Shiqi and Yunluo left the hotel early in the morning, packed their bags and prepared to take the train to Aswan in the evening. Go out and walk to Elharam Station to take the subway, change to Line 1 at Sadat Station and go north to Mubarak.
Out of the subway station is Cairo Railway Station, that is, Ramses Rames Station, the railway station is not big, take the train south, the third class cabin is a hard plastic seat on the left and right, the car is full of Egyptians, on Nalan Shiqi and Yunluo, two foreigners look around with a smile and stand in the middle. Get off at the town of Badrashein and walk two kilometers due west to Memphis.
Memphis was the capital of Egypt from the First Dynasty after the unification of Upper and Lower Egypt until the Eleventh Dynasty. Thousands of years of glory have passed, and now there is only one open-air heritage park, the Mitrahinamuseum, located in a dilapidated village called Mithrashina.
Tickets are 35 Egyptian pounds. There are two treasures in the garden, one is the statue of Ramses II Ramsesii lying on the two floors, this 14-meter-high statue carved from a single limestone is exquisite, delicate and huge. In an earthquake, the statue's legs and left hand were broken.
As a result, the statue can now only lie horizontally on the floor of the museum hall; The statue's other twin brother also stands in the square of the Ramses railway station atramses in downtown Cairo. Ramses II, as the second pharaoh of the Twentieth Dynasty, was able to fight and was physically tough.
The old man lived for more than 90 years in one breath, and his fate was not good, and he was overjoyed, and he set up monuments everywhere to praise his merits. The other is a sphinx in the garden, currently the second largest in Egypt, PHIS, more than 4 meters high, carved from a single piece of alabaster weighing more than 80 tons.
Some say that he represents Amenophisi II, others say that she is modeled after Queen Hapshepsut of Egypt, or is it just and clear that the annotation plate reads: the Sphinx of Memphis. There is also another granite statue of Ramses II in the garden.
These monuments to the emperors were dug in the nearby fields, and the real ancient city was buried deep in the village after several Muslim invasions and the erosion of the Nile waters, nourishing the green vegetable seedlings. Because the water level is too high close to the Nile, it is not possible to excavate on a large scale for the time being.
Nalan Shiqi and Yunluo can only meditate on the prosperity of the past from these few stumps and broken arms. This place is highly recommended if you don't stop by.
Out of Memphis, walk west along the country dirt road for five miles to Sakkara, or you can choose to take a minibus through the village. The name Sakkuala comes from the "Grim Reaper of Memphis", where the princes and dignitaries are buried, which is equivalent to Babao Mountain, the imperial tomb in the western suburbs of the Yunluo Dynasty. The Pyramid of the Zusel Step is located in the desert about three kilometers northwest of Sakkara.
Walk north along a canal for less than two kilometres, turn left past the Ambaarmiyas Monastery and climb up a sand dune to the scenic spot Pmuseum & Saqqara, admission is 60 Egyptian pounds. So far, 110 large and small pyramids have been found in Egypt, not all of which are buried, and some are only used for sacrifice.
The Pyramid of Zusel is by far the oldest, and it was only excavated in 1924 by archaeologists based on the clue of the temple of Serabyoum, who knows how many surprises still lie in the sands of the West Bank.
The entrance is a large yellow-brown wall, and through the imposing multi-columned hall, you can lead to the large courtyard on the south side. This place is the place where the emperor exercises in the morning, in ancient times, a slogan was set up in the west "one hour of exercise every day", and a slogan was set up in the east "Fifty years of healthy life", and the emperor took the cabinet ministers to play Tai Chi and run in the courtyard.
To show the people that the leadership team is vigorous and vigorous, and the head of state is immortal and never dies. The pyramid on the north side of the square is divided into six layers with a total of 60 meters, although it is not as big as Khufu, but it is by no means spectacular, there are not many tourists here, and the distant desert is more majestic.
A few dozen meters northeast of Zusel is the Tetipyramid, which can also be entered, but it is also empty and has long been looted. On the north side of the pyramid is a row of noble tombs, the tombs of Mereruka and Ankhmahor, and the highlights here are the scenes of circumcision vividly painted on the walls of the tomb of Ankhmahor.
