Chapter 67: Chengdu Tour (2)
2019.11.10
Peng Peng woke up early, and I was still asleep. He turned on the lamp alone and began to write an essay, quietly waiting for me to wake up.
The first place we went to was Du Fu's Thatched Cottage. It's a place we've loved for a long time. We enter from the north gate and turn left is the Tang Dynasty Museum, out of the museum is the ruins of Du Fu's thatched cottage, a small pit, surrounded by transparent glass.
Further ahead is the thatched cottage thatched cottage scenic spot, which is a thatched cottage rebuilt by later generations, surrounded by beautiful ponds, tall and handsome plants, and various statues of Du Fu. My heart has been haunting the small pit enclosed by glass, imagining the thatched hut where Du Fu's family lives. The small thatched house and the poet's feelings of "sheltering the poor people in the world" deeply admire the poet's broad mind.
Then I went to the Joy Rain Pavilion. There is a big stone tablet in the pavilion, and the tablet is carved with Du Fu's famous poem "Spring Night Rain". Peng Peng looked at it and read it with emotion.
There are many tall and towering ancient trees planted in Du Fu's thatched cottage, the air is very fresh, and there are many tourists who come to visit, and we quickly follow the flow of people to the main entrance.
When we came in the morning, we looked for the 12:30 noon direct scenic spot to Sanxingdui introduced on the Internet at the north gate, but we didn't find it. Out of the main gate, we continued to look for this through train, but still did not find it.
When it was time for lunch, we took a taxi to introduce the driver to the nearby specialty restaurants and take us there. On the way, we talked about going to Sanxingdui, and the driver said that he could pick us up there and send us back after we finished the tour. He left a phone number and an offer for us to call him if we wanted. Peng Peng whispered to me: "Mom, we have met a good person!" ”
This Zhang driver took us to the restaurant Chen Mapo Tofu. We ordered a few dishes that were not too spicy, among which was the famous dandan noodles, which I thought were so spicy, but Peng Peng said that he enjoyed the meal. The dishes are all delicious. We didn't plan to ask other drivers for a price, so we called Driver Zhang after dinner and continued to ask him to drive us to the Sanxingdui Museum scenic spot.
When we searched for Chengdu tourism information on the Internet, we saw that many people mentioned that the Sanxingdui Museum was very interesting, and then I heard that Brother Peng, who had traveled to Chengdu, also proposed that we go to see, so the first day of the journey was arranged to go to Sanxingdui to see.
The artifacts in the Sanxingdui Museum look really strange, it is completely different from the ancient artifacts we have seen before, but it is very similar to the heritage of Mayan culture.
Hearing my question, Peng Peng analyzed: "Maya culture is the earliest culture of mankind, and it originated in India. Sanxingdui culture and Mayan culture have many similarities. They have two routes of transmission. One is to go north to the South Asian subcontinent to which Pakistan belongs, and then to Dunhuang in China through the Western Regions and then all the way south to Sichuan. The other is from Nepal through the Himalayas into Yunnan, and from Yunnan as a base to move north into Chengdu, Sichuan. Only this route is short and does not take much time, so it is very possible. Yunnan used to be the kingdom of Dali, which was composed of many primitive tribes, most likely the Mayan primitive immigrants. ”
I was amazed by Peng Peng's knowledge and analytical ability, and he gave me two possibilities in just a few seconds. I also heard Peng Peng say: "I like to do research in this area. ”
"Oh, do you want to do an expedition on this?"
"Not really. They dig it out, and I come to study the connections between these things. ”
I'm finding out more and more that this guy is too smart!
