Came back from Tibet, I still know very little about this piece of the plateau, from different sources of knowledge and they saw the scene as if off the line of pearls, a patchwork can not paint a complete picture.
This piece is called the mystery of the world's third most curious of the plateau more and more people a chance years ago, I also was privileged to know a little bit modern Tibet, but this tour is the first time personally set foot on legends of the land.
Flew to Lhasa, began to feel a little flavor of the plateau, due to geological reasons, this piece of land on the mountains and little hills criss-cross, leaving room for the survival of people can become very limited, Lhasa, on the narrow valley in the middle of a wide, a meandering rivers flowing from the edge of the town, the river called the Lhasa River, the city is called Lhasa. City built in the valley where the most wide, where they happen to have two small soil is not too high mountains, overlooking the entire valley area, the earliest rulers may be set up in the Peak Castle, slowly up, then power expansion the entire Valley, the entire plateau. Castle by a later successor to continuous expansion, after the Millennium, after already covered the entire hill, it is more than one building has a legendary, but a nation's dignity and pride. Is far outside the Potala Palace, inside the magnificent grand everywhere worship the Buddha, so that the room channels have become too narrow, burning butter lamps to provide the light source of all, but also consume the plateau there was a dearth of oxygen. There are calendar Dalai Lama during his lifetime living room and buried behind the pagoda, a thousand years of accumulation of various types of valuables that people devote a day to donate is still a large number of visitors from all over the world can be circulation and non-negotiable currency. Want to enter here, the tourists have to buy a hundred dollars a ticket, and to one day in advance booking, and those who were devout Tibetan pilgrims as long as two dollars.
Tibet Museum in Lhasa has a history of this region, and detailed descriptions of cultural characteristics, where I was very confused after the visit, one may be due to lack of oxygen, understanding and memory have declined; another complex Tibetan names and the titles title also led to my confusion, and the differences that theocratic system is also difficult to understand. 10000 years ago, the plateau has traces of human activity, to the 7th century AD, about 33 out of the famous generation of Zao Songtsan, after things have generally been documented, but a World Bank as the Shang dynasty to 32 the same as the previous history of , it seems to be absent. Place in Tibet during the 7th century a decisive change in the introduction to Buddhism here, the subsequent development has brought great influence, has continued to this day. Each one was born here, who have become such a pass from the devout followers of religion in India, Buddhism is no longer a religion but a way of life runs through everyone's daily life, sickness and death.
Jokhang Temple in Lhasa, the other attractions, its reputation than its size should be large, which enshrines the Sakyamuni's life-sized, like 12-year-old is said to Princess Wen Cheng of the dowry, while Tang's emperor could not bear to put her daughter to marry so far away However, the dowry is not a little vague, from distant India invited金身, finally shipped to Chang'an then sent to Tibet from afar, in the absence of the railway era aircraft, difficult imagine. To spend 70 yuan on the inside turn of the circle, the impression remains the Buddha statues, murals, transfer through the cylinder, roof landscape very well, many of the Potala Palace, the famous shot from here. Kowtowing to the people early on in the front of paved blankets, pilgrimage of people also lined up a long team, although they do not have to buy tickets, but I believe will pay more than I should.
Is the famous, the street around the Jokhang Temple, Temple little street is not long. Is the row upon row of shops on both sides, to have been repeatedly warned to be before the haggling, not half but a half to half. Things that are special products sold in Tibet, transfer through the tube, knives, Tibetan silver jewelry, Chinese caterpillar fungus. Beads is a kind of unique ornaments in Tibet have been given all sorts of supernatural magic power, sources of secrecy, it seems hereditary, material is more clearly explained the style they are all a long circular tube, dark brown texture on the white lines (or white with dark brown lines on the texture), texture is similar to agate, a glassy light perception, the price is vastly different.
I was not able to hurry the journey from this thorough understanding of Tibet, but finally saw everything here, but also just a part of the city this summer, in fact, there are everywhere here, Sichuan accent, authentic Sichuan cuisine, similar to the Mainland Any one new city construction and construction. Be able to distinguish it from elsewhere, but a pedestrian street dressed in robes and carrying a large bag of foreigners, as well as when Palou breathing.
