00381, Shwedagon Pagoda
Knock knock.
Bi Yue, who had just finished taking a shower, was really bored, and this would knock on Wang Ding's door.
"Who?"
Wang Ding was a little vigilant.
"I, Bi Yue, I'm really bored in the house alone, I want to see what you're doing?"
"It's boring to be alone." When Wang Ding heard that it was Bi Yue, he naturally opened the door, and said while welcoming Bi Yue. "If you're bored alone, you may not be bored in two days."
"Oh?"
Bi Yue didn't know what Lu Dao was talking about, Wang Ding said so. But Wang Ding is not in a hurry to tell Bi Yue about He Luo's coming, after all, Bi Yue and He Luo don't know each other yet.
"Wang Ding, what are you doing?"
"I didn't do anything, I just watched TV."
Where can Wang Ding be busy?
"In China, I just watch TV, and when I come to Myanmar, I still watch TV, do you think it's very interesting?"
Bi Yue flicked a word, but the words were simple, what can you do in the house without watching TV.
"Why don't we go out and go around, I heard that the Shwedagon Pagoda in Yangon is famous in the world, and it's a pity not to take a look here, you say?"
"This ...... It's not good to go today, we just came, or why don't we go tomorrow? β
"Tomorrow the Jade Public Market will begin, where is there time to go shopping, if you don't go, I'll call Qian Le to go...... Anyway, I think Qian Le is willing. β
Wang Ding knew that Qian Le's kid was willing, and he didn't fulfill his responsibility to accompany Bi Yue to go shopping by the clouds, so Wang Ding thought about making up for it.
But before Wang Ding could say it, Bi Yue said again, it seems that she didn't want to call Qian Le. "Leadership. Go ahead. Some of the places of interest in Myanmar are still very good. Since you're here, have fun, you don't want to spend time with your subordinates......"
Bi Yue's coquettish voice was heard in Wang Ding's ears at this time, it was really like a heavenly sound, "It's okay to go, but Qian Le and Xiaoma both said that there is still a bit of chaos here, and it's best to stay in the hotel if you don't go." β
"It's okay, it's the capital of Myanmar, it's under the control of the government. It can't be as chaotic as the outlying areas...... And here, I heard that there is an antique market next to the Shwedagon Pagoda, so you don't want to go around......"
This sentence really said that Wang Ding's heart was on the upswing, Bi Yue saw that Wang Ding was obviously moved, and put his arm around Wang Ding's arm with one hand, and said coquettishly, "Okay, let's go shopping, if it's not fun, let's come back immediately." β
was carried by Bi Yue like this, Wang Ding had no intention of pushing it away. I didn't feel anything wrong, but I was very comfortable. Bi Yue came over this time, almost sticking his body up, invisibly, the relationship between the two quietly changed, but Wang Ding didn't notice it in time, Bi Yue already regarded him as a boyfriend.
Out of the hotel, fortunately the hotel is not very far from the Shwedagon Pagoda, only five or six minutes by car, after turning a building in front of you, the field of vision in front of you is broadened, and a towering golden spire appears in front of Wang Ding.
Looking at the slender spire that shimmered with dazzling golden light in the sun, Wang Ding couldn't help but be shocked.
In the distance, the Shwedagon Pagoda, like a golden mystery rising from the horizon, a breathtaking miracle shining in the sun, its shape is neither an Islamic dome nor a Hindu minaret, but like an upright gourd, "Yes, this is our Shwedagon Pagoda of the Shell Palace, the World Cultural Heritage Protection Organization once said that our Shwedagon Pagoda, together with the Borobudur Pagoda in Indonesia and Angkor Wat in Cambodia, is known as the treasure of oriental art, and is the most famous pagoda in the world. It is also a symbol of our Myanmar......"
After hearing Wang Ding's words, the black and thin driver unexpectedly explained to Wang Ding in Chinese, although his Chinese was a little blunt, but the meaning was still expressed, and when he spoke, his face was even more proud.
Wang Ding originally wanted to use the Great Wall of China to refute the driver, but at this time, the car had already arrived at the periphery of the Shwedagon Pagoda, and Wang Ding, who saw the whole picture of the Shwedagon Pagoda, was stunned, and could no longer say the words that came to his mouth.
More than 100 meters high Shwedagon Pagoda, standing in front of Wang Ding, this feeling is like standing under a high-rise building of more than 30 floors, people are so small, around the huge Shwedagon Pagoda, there are dozens of golden small towers, arching and guarding the Shwedagon Pagoda, into the eye, there are golden colors everywhere, strongly impacting the visual senses of Wang Ding and others, giving people a sense of grandeur and magnificence.
After getting out of the car and paying the fare, the driver did not leave immediately, but pushed the door and walked down, respectfully folded his hands in front of the Shwedagon Pagoda, chanted Buddhist scriptures in his mouth, and drove away again after about a minute.
After the taxi left, Wang Ding smiled and said, "This driver is a little interesting, he is ...... like a monk."
"I guess that the driver really worked as a monk, don't you know the history of Burma......
Bi Yue is a high-achieving student, she just said something, but Wang Ding may not know the way, Myanmar, like Thailand, is a famous Buddhist country, Buddhism has been introduced to Myanmar for more than 2,500 years, and more than 85% of the people in Myanmar believe in Buddhism.
There are many pagodas, many temples, and many monks are the three major characteristics of Myanmar Buddhist culture, and Myanmar men should cut their hair at least once in their lives to become monks, which is considered to be the practice of accumulating virtue, Wang Ding just said that the driver may have been a monk, because of this.
Burmese Buddhists believe that building a stupa can benefit a lifetime and bring blessings to the next. According to statistics, there are more than 100,000 large and small stupas in the country. Therefore, Myanmar is also known as the "Land of Stupas"
The Shwedagon Pagoda, which was built more than 2,500 years ago, is the representative work of Myanmar pagoda, a masterpiece of Buddhist architectural art in the world, and the oldest and most expensive stupa in the world.
Shwedagon Pagoda is as high as 100 meters, there are 64 small towers around it, the body of the tower is covered with gold leaf, the main tower alone has nearly 30,000 pieces of gold sheets, weighs more than 7 tons, the top of the tower is made of gold, there are 5448 diamonds and 2317 rubies inlaid with it, the whole Shwedagon Pagoda is brilliant, the gold is brilliant, it is magnificent.
"Well, you live up to your name, right?"
"Well, I've seen so many rare antiques, how do I think this is the most valuable antique in the world......
Yes, the price of those diamonds and gemstones cannot be estimated by money at all, not to mention that there are more than 7 tons of gold, you must know that this golden pagoda is equivalent to one-thousandth of the gold reserves of the United States in the worldββ
The art collection will soon exceed 3,000, and I implore the brothers and sisters who have not collected it, collect it, thank you! (To be continued......)
