"It's okay, it should be altitude sickness, and it should be fine after a while!" Zhou Tianyi said. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

It is very common for ordinary people to have altitude sickness in the plateau area, if they encounter the hospital reaction, they should be treated in time, the best way is to inhale pure oxygen, followed by taking anti-altitude sickness drugs!

Although Zhou Tianyi said it easily, Dong Tinghua and Miao Weiqiang were still very worried about Zhou Tianyi's safety, both of them had seen it on the news, because people who died of altitude sickness abounded, and the two of them did not dare to be careless, so they hurriedly ran to the service center of the hotel to find drugs and oxygen cylinders for Zhou Tianyi to restrain altitude sickness...

After taking the medicine and inhaling some pure oxygen, Zhou Tianyi felt much better, seeing that Zhou Tianyi was fine, Miao Weiqiang, Dong Tinghua and the two of them were relieved, and the three of them stood in front of the window and looked at Tibet, which is known as the roof of the world!

Tibet, located in Lhasa, the capital of China's southwestern border, is one of China's five ethnic minority autonomous regions.

The Tibet Autonomous Region is located in the southwest of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, between 26°50′ and 36°53′ north latitude and 78°25′ and 99°06′ east longitude, with an average altitude of more than 4,000 meters. The region covers an area of 1,202,230 square kilometers, accounting for about 1/8 of the country's total area, second only to Xinjiang among all provinces, municipalities and autonomous regions in the country. At the end of 2014, the permanent population was about 3,175,500.

Tibet is bordered by Xinjiang to the north, Sichuan to the east, Qinghai to the northeast, and Yunnan to the southeast. It is bordered by Myanmar, India, Bhutan, Nepal, Kashmir and other countries and regions, with a land border of more than 4,000 kilometers, and is an important gateway to China's southwest border.

Tibet was called "Tubo" in the Tang and Song dynasties, "Wusizang" in the Yuan and Ming dynasties, and "Tangut" and "Tubbot" in the Qing Dynasty. During the Kangxi reign of the Qing Dynasty, it was called "Tibet" until now.

Tibet is known for its majestic, magical and magnificent natural beauty. It has a vast area, spectacular landforms and abundant resources. Since ancient times, the people of this land have created a rich and splendid national culture.

In the early morning of the next day, the sound of the morning bell and dusk drum came from the Potala Palace on the mountain, Zhou Tianyi, Miao Weiqiang, and Dong Tinghua woke up in their sleep, Miao Weiqiang opened the curtain and looked outside, the blue sky could not see a single cloud, the sun slowly rose in the east, the air was cold with a cold breath, and the Potala Palace on the mountain peak in the distance was smoking!

The three of them had a little breakfast and walked in the direction of the Potala Palace, where monks in robes could be seen everywhere! It can be seen from the monks on the street that Tibet is a holy place for Buddhism! But the most mysterious thing in Tibet is the Tantric French!

Tibetan Buddhism, Southern Buddhism, and Han Buddhism stand together on three legs, becoming the three main branches of Buddhism. At the same time, as the most important of the two major systems of Tantra (Eastern Tantra and Tibetan Tantra), its influence is becoming more and more widespread on a global scale. Tibetan Buddhism has completely inherited the Buddhist thought of Shakyamuni Buddha 2,500 years ago, integrated the essence of the Hinayana, Mahayana and Tantric teachings, and successfully solved the two ultimate problems of Buddhism, "liberation" and "Buddhahood", which can be called the peak of the era of Buddhism development. Compared with other branches of Buddhism, the greatest characteristic of Tibetan Tantra is that it places special emphasis on the purity of the lineage, the perfection of speculation, the stages of practice, and the practice of Tantra. The four characteristics of purity, perfection, order, and empirical evidence are precisely the main content and inner character pursued in this "Illustrated Tibetan Tantra".

The streets are lined with many merchants selling thangkas, most of which were made by monks.

"These paintings, why are they so awkward, but they still look quite special!" Miao Weiqiang stared at the thangkas on both sides of the street and said.

"Brother Qiang, no, you don't even know the thangka in Tibet!" Dong Tinghua asked in surprise.

"Thangka! What a thangka! Miao Weiqiang asked.

Dong Tinghua smiled, stared at Miao Weiqiang with idiotic eyes, and said: "Today, I will give you a tour guide for free, so that you can see the young people of society for a long time!" ”

"Don't pretend garlic in front of Lao Tzu, don't I know how many catties and taels you have?" Miao Weiqiang said.

Zhou Tianyi smiled, watching without saying a word...

Dong Tinghua pretended to speak: "Thangka, also called Tangga, Tangka, is a Tibetan transliteration, which refers to a religious scroll painting that is framed with colored satin and hung for worship. Thangka is a unique art form of painting in Tibetan culture, and its subject matter involves many fields such as Tibetan history, politics, culture and social life. Most of the thangkas handed down are Tibetan Buddhism and Buddhism.

Thangka is a unique art form of painting in Tibetan culture. It has distinctive national characteristics, strong religious colors and unique artistic style, and depicts the world of the sacred Buddha with bright colors; Traditionally, the pigments are all made of precious mineral gems such as gold, silver, pearls, agate, coral, turquoise, malachite, cinnabar, and plants such as saffron, rhubarb, and indigo, to show their sacredness. These natural materials ensure that the painted thangka is bright and dazzling, and even after hundreds of years, it is still bright and bright. Therefore, it is known as the treasure of Chinese national painting art, known as the "encyclopedia" of the Tibetan people, and is also a precious intangible cultural heritage in the folk art of the Chinese nation.

The painting of thangkas is demanding and complicated, and must be carried out in accordance with the rituals in the scriptures and the requirements of the lama, including a complete set of procedures such as pre-painting rituals, canvas making, composition and drafting, coloring and dyeing, outlining and shaping, gold and silver painting, eye opening, and sewing and opening the light. It takes a long time to make a thangka, from half a year to more than ten years! ”

After listening to Dong Tinghua's speech, Miao Weiqiang looked at Dong Tinghua with disdain and said with a smile: "Okay, you can be my guide along the way, I want to see how much you know about the history here!" ”

"Brother Qiang, don't forget, my grandfather and grandfather are both well-known experts in the field of archaeology and history, and these things are familiar to me!" Dong Tinghua said with a smile.

Zhou Tianyi smiled, Dong Tinghua is indeed quite accomplished in history!

The three of them continued to walk forward, looking at the exotic national characteristics, the three of them were dazzled, and the pedestrian costumes on the street and their weirdness were very different from the common costumes!

At this time, Miao Weiqiang became 100,000 whys, one is to embarrass Dong Tinghua, and the other is to know the ethnic customs here, although Dong Tinghua, who was born in an archaeological family, is not very familiar with these things, but it is relatively easy to fool Miao Weiqiang, who has not graduated from junior high school!

The three of them walked in the direction of the Potala Palace, along the way, Miao Weiqiang asked endless questions, Dong Tinghua made explanations that were almost the same as the reality, and Zhou Tianyi smiled and said nothing... (To be continued.) )
