The eighth round: The king of detention sent an envoy to the Tang Dynasty, and the king of mud heard that he wanted to follow suit (II)
After receiving the will of Songtsen Gampo, this Sambuza naturally lived up to expectations. It took three years to take the 50 fundamental letters of Sanskrit as a template, combined with the characteristics of the Tibetan language, and not only created 30 basic letters of the Tibetan language; And from the 16 vowels of Sanskrit, 4 Tibetan vowel letters were created.
Sambuza also removed 5 anti-characters and 5 overlapping words from the 34 consonant characters in Sanskrit, added the vowel Ah character to the vowel sound, and added 6 Sanskrit characters such as Jia, Qia, Jia, Xia, He, and A, and formulated the Tubo script with 4 vowel words and 30 consonant characters.
At the same time, on the one hand, he imitated the Sanskrit Lanza font and created the Tibetan alphabet; In other words, it is now in regular script in Tibetan. on the other hand, it imitated the Sanskrit "Tudu" font to create the headless character of Tubo; In other words, it is now written in cursive in Tibetan.
Since then, Tibet has had its own written language. Later, with the popularization of the written language, all Chinese books were translated into Tibetan. This not only played a strong role in promoting the cultural development of Tibet, but also laid a solid cultural context for the development of the Tibetan nation in the future......
In addition to this textual improvement. Princess Wencheng saw that the Tibetan people did not have a complete calendar, and they lived in a daze every year. Sometimes, according to the existing experience, if you are not careful, you miss the agricultural time, and add undeserved scars to the snowy plateau, which has a very low yield.
Therefore, in view of this aspect, she also suggested that Songtsen Gampo also implement the Tang calendar in Tibet, of course, this implementation is not blindly copied, but according to the specific situation of Tibet, and improved. Taking the annual wheat harvest season (about March of the Tang calendar) as the beginning of the year not only facilitates the chronology and writing of Tibet's history and culture, but also provides a reliable basis for the people to farm time......
At the same time, in the past, the Tibetan people only had some simple music, simple musical instruments. With the marriage of Princess Wencheng to the court band, not only let the Tubo people feel the charm of music, but also increased the great improvement of the Tubo people's understanding of music......
And the most important one is that with the marriage of Princess Wencheng to Tubo, many skilled craftsmen not only designed and manufactured the cocoons that the Tubo people had never used, but also built various buildings with the Tang Dynasty style, and also made a variety of exquisite Tang style furniture.
The sincere ingenuity of the Tang craftsmen not only drove the development of Tibetan architecture, but also passed on from hand to hand and from heart to heart, passing the huge carpentry skills of the Han nationality to Tubo ......
Of course, many of the seeds brought by Princess Wencheng are also rooting, flowering, and bearing fruit in the land of Tibet. It not only changed the food structure of the Tibetan people, but also enriched the food varieties of the Tibetan people.
As the mother of the country, she should pass on the fine style of the mother to the world. Princess Wencheng not only suggested that Songtsen Gampo personally go to the land to cultivate, but also passed on embroidery, weaving and other techniques to the Tibetan people.
Looking at the earth-shaking changes in Tibet over the years, Songtsen Gampo was relieved that this daughter-in-law did not make a mistake. And the relationship between them is getting deeper and deeper. Since then, Songtsen Gampo has been even more obedient to Princess Wencheng.
I still remember that in the past, the Tibetan people liked to paint their faces with a color of ochre, saying that they could drive away ghosts and evil spirits, although it was a custom, but this custom made people look abominable and looked very uncomfortable.
Everyone has a love for beauty, not to mention a princess of the Tang Dynasty, so she once again suggested Songtsen Gampo and ordered the whole country to stop using ochre to paint faces, and Zampo also agreed to his suggestion.
In daily life, the princess likes to wear the light silk clothes of the Han people, and Songtsen Gampo also imitates the princess, so she takes off the traditional Tibetan leather mattress and felt fur and wears silk clothing, which is very refreshing.
And all this was seen by a person who suddenly appeared. He is the current king of Nibora, King Narendra Deva, the former Shah prince, and the Tang Dynasty also called him Naling Deva.
Since the death of his father, he and Wang Xuance and his party regained the throne from the hands of Prime Minister Nabuti and became a great treasure. Over the years, adhering to the last wish of his father, the Nibora has been governed in an orderly manner, and the people are safe.
These days, when I have nothing to do, I not only miss this cousin who is far away in Tibet, but also miss the horse galloping together, and going south and north together. Therefore, I want to pursue the taste of the past again, take a look at this cousin, and travel through the grand scene of Tibet.
So, without even saying hello, and after settling everything in the country, he rode north with his attendants, and came to the outside of the city.
In his memory, Tibet should still be the same as before; But along the way, I suddenly found that Tibet has changed a lot: not only has its own writing, but also has well-planned fields, and at the same time, there are some plant ingredients that cannot be named, as well as unique Tang Dynasty architecture.
And among all these changes, the biggest change is that the faces full of endless smiles on the dark faces have lost the ochre paint they once had. Therefore, my heart was involuntarily filled with a lot of doubts......
At this time, Princess Wencheng and Songtsen Gampo were experimenting with the tea seeds they brought over on the farm outside the city. Seeing my cousin govern the country so well, I instantly had this endless envy. The mood of playing is also gone......
When they saw this cousin who had not seen him for many years come to the national capital, they were suddenly pleasantly surprised, and hurriedly put down the things in their hands and returned to the Potala Palace to entertain this king from afar.
Because the two have known each other since childhood, this banquet is not only unique, but also full of strong family banquet flavor. The reason why I say this is precisely because of this banquet, there is no rich meat, all of them are from the Tang Dynasty, introduced to Tubo to try to grow successful vegetables; And these vegetables were also something that King Deva had not seen before.
I saw this Songtsen Gampo, and said with a smile: "Taste it, this is all planted by me and your cousin-in-law."
In the face of such exquisite food, this statement does not matter, and it instantly makes King Deva gobble up. With the delicious entrance, he couldn't stop boasting that it tasted good and the taste was very good.
Princess Wencheng and Songtsan Gampo, who watched it, smiled happily. "Eat slowly, don't choke," Princess Wencheng also said with concern.
After drinking and eating, King Deva talked about the changes in Tibet over the years. When he figured out that all this had changed because of Datang, he immediately fell into deep thought. After thinking about it for a while, he raised his head and said to them: "Cousin, I also want to learn from Datang, how do you feel?" ”
"That's a good thing, it should be!"
"But I don't know what to give as a gift?"
So both of them suddenly fell into deep thought......
What will this Deva King give? Please see the next ......
Facts: The culture of the Tang Dynasty in the seventh century was extraordinarily splendid, not only worthy of our current recollection, but also yearning for it by all foreign people at that time. I still remember Mr. Yu Guangzhong, there was such a poem: Wine enters the bowels of Hao, seven points are turned into moonlight, and the remaining three points are whistling into sword qi, and when you spit out your embroidered mouth, it is half of the Tang Dynasty. Although this is said to be Li Bai, it is enough to feel the atmosphere of the Tang Dynasty and the arrogance of the Tang Dynasty......
