Seeing that the old man was talking to our guide about the picture in his hand, Qian Cheng continued to say to us: "Since we have mentioned the names of Nepalese people, we have to talk about their folk customs. In the future, we will inevitably have to deal with this 'black' guide. You have to know what you can do and what you can't. ”

Hearing Qian Cheng say this, I said to Qian Cheng: "Please give me advice!" ”

Qian Cheng saw that I was joking, so he said, "Don't say that, I'm very strict." Listen carefully, and save yourself any trouble in the future. ”

Seeing Qian Cheng's solemn expression, I knew that he was not joking, and we had to shut up honestly. After getting along for such a long time, we still have a certain understanding of Qian Cheng. If there were no special circumstances, I'm sure he wouldn't have been specialized, avnsh♂uba.

"There are many ethnic groups in Nepal, such as the Gurkhas, the Newars, the Gurungs, the Majahs, the Rayi, the Limbu, the Songwars, the Tamangs and the Sherpas," Qian said.

Among them, the Gurkha are a very special people. They are an ancient ethnic group living in the southern foothills of the Himalayas, also known as the 'mercenary people' in the Gorkha, Palpa, and Kathmandu valleys in the mountainous regions of central and western Nepal. ”

", mercenary?" The old ghost exclaimed, "This feels like a movie!" Even mercenaries are on it? ”

Seeing the old ghost questioning, Qian Cheng nodded and said, "In my judgment, this guy is definitely not a mortal, it is estimated that eighty percent is a mercenary!" That's why I'm telling you separately that you should be careful in the future. Personally, I feel that this Egyptian old Ah San who came with us will definitely not be so simple, and it is more or less problematic. ”

Listen to Qian Cheng say this. Several of us couldn't help but look at the big man and the old man with dark skin and a strong body. may have had a psychological effect after Qian Cheng's reminder, and the more we look at the big man, the more we feel that he looks like a soldier. Like an agile mercenary, to be exact.

His well-fitting boots, his loose-fitting and unobtrusive clothing, and his muscular, muscular arms, seemed to mean something...... Especially his piercing eyes. Although it was just a slight eye contact with me, it made me feel "unforgettable".

Qian Cheng continued: "In Nepal, they are generally called Brahmins, Chetris, occupational castes, and belong to the Mediterranean type of the Europa race. He speaks Nepali, uses the Devanagari alphabet, and believes in Hinduism.

The Gurkha people are a mixture of Aryans and local Ka people who migrated from India in the 12th century, which also contributed to their national speciality!

In the mid-18th century, the Gurkha state defeated the Marats and unified Nepal, and the Gurkha people practiced a caste system: the Brahmins were the highest, followed by the Chetri. The status of untouchables is lowest among occupational castes, and the surname after the name indicates their social status.

Brahmins, Chetri upper castes are required to perform 16 religious rituals in their lifetime, and often wear a sacred thread under the right armpit of the oblique hip to distinguish them from the lower castes. They strictly practice caste endogamy to guarantee the purity of the bloodline. Moreover, people are cremated after death, and their ashes are thrown into the river. The rich sent the ashes to India and threw them into the Ganges.

They also have an ancient custom: that is, after death. When the direct descendants keep filial piety, they need to shave all the hair on their bodies except for the top of their heads. The ritual of keeping filial piety is complicated.

Nepalese people are mild-mannered and devout religious. Hinduism is the state religion of Nepal, and religion occupies an extremely important place in their lives!

Hey, Shi Hui, did you listen? Concentrate on it, don't mess with this special forces brother when the time comes. I don't even know how to die. Remember, Hinduism is their faith! ”

Qian Cheng saw that the old ghost was a little absent-minded, so he immediately warned him.

As soon as Qian Cheng said this, the old ghost withdrew his gaze from the two people over there and said, "You continue." Listen! ”

Qian Cheng said: "There are more than 30 ethnic groups in Nepal. However, in terms of general aspects, there are two main categories: one is the Mongolian race belonging to the aborigines, in Nepal, which is known as a mountain country, they are mainly distributed in the mountainous areas on the southern slopes of the Himalayas; The second is the Aryans who belong to the South Asian region and are distributed in the plains of southern Nepal.

Judging by this buddy's body shape and skin color, he should belong to the Mongolian race.

Although ethnically different, Nepalese people are all religious. About 90% of the population is Hindu, and the rest are Buddhists. Religion plays an important role in Nepalese life: early in the morning, people go to the temple to worship and point on their foreheads the dikeka, which symbolizes the existence of the gods. There are about 50 festivals in Nepal throughout the year. Of these, most of them are related to religion.

You see, there are a lot of temples here. There are both majestic and exquisite famous temples, as well as such small street temples. It is said that there are 3,000 Hindu temples in Kathmandu alone, and there are many monkeys in the temples who are not afraid of people.

In particular, the flock of pigeons in Durbar Square gives a sense of religious tranquility.

When you come into contact with the Nepalese people, you can feel their peace of mind. They are generally gentle, kind, and contented. They also have a peculiar way of life: Nepalis eat only two meals a day and drink three courses of tea, and they maintain a leisurely traditional way of life.

Nepalese people wake up in the morning to go to the temple to worship and drink morning tea to prepare for the day. At 8 or 9 o'clock in the evening, the streets will close and the businesses will close at 9 o'clock. ”

When the old ghost heard this, he asked, "Damn, don't they live overnight?" How boring that life is! ”

"Yes, there must be, but that's a very small minority. Either aristocracy, or secretly held underground. But on the whole, they are a very self-disciplined people. Do you think everyone looks like you? Uninhibited and uninhibited. Qian Cheng said.

Hearing Qian Cheng say this, Duoduo and Lisa and I all laughed. This time, Qian Cheng hit the pain point of the old ghost.

The old ghost saw that Qian Cheng was squeezing himself like this, so he hurriedly shot back: "Damn, living an overnight life is called bohemianism?" Is it bad behavior? Shouldn't all the bars, nightclubs, and other bars and clubs around the world have to close? It's as if you're innocent. ”

As soon as Qian Cheng wanted to say something, he heard the old man behind him shouting to us: "What are you talking about, so happy?" ”

Seeing that the old man and the mercenary guide had said about the same, I hurriedly greeted him and said, "Oh, we are wondering, should we make some preparations for entering the mountain, buy some equipment or something?" (To be continued......)
