"The Potala Palace stands on the Maburi Mountain in Tibet. It is magnificent and magnificent. It was truly a treasure trove of art. The Potala Palace is the essence of Tibetan architectural art, and it is also a famous palace-style architectural complex in China and the world. There were countless precious cultural relics and works of art in the palace, making it a veritable treasure house of art. The Potala Palace started from the southern slope of the mountain and was built to the top of the mountain according to the mountain's terrain. It was more than 110 meters high. All of them were made of stone and wood, wide at the bottom and narrow at the top. The roof was covered with gold-plated tiles, and the structure was rigorous. When people walked across the bridge over the Lasa River, the majestic Potala Palace on the towering mountain peak came into view. Vermilion palace walls, golden and resplendent palace roof. Against the backdrop of the blue sky and snowy mountains, it looked particularly magnificent.
The Potala Palace was built in the 7th century and has a history of more than 1300 years. Potala means "Buddhist Holy Land". It was said that the Tubo Dynasty was at its peak at that time. The Tubo King, Songzan Gampo, had a marriage alliance with the Tang Dynasty. In order to marry Princess Wencheng, Songzan Gampo ordered the construction of this palace with 999 halls,"building a city to praise future generations." When the Potala Palace was first built, it was not so large. Later, it was continuously rebuilt and expanded, and its scale gradually expanded. In the middle of the 17th century, after the fifth generation of the Tibetan lama was conferred by the Qing Dynasty, he was appointed by his manager Diba. Sangjie Jiacuo presided over the expansion and reconstruction project, which lasted for nearly 50 years and only reached its current scale. By the 13th Dalai, the construction of the Potala Palace took another eight years. It was said that the construction cost 2.13 million taels of silver. From Songtsan Gampo to the 14th Dalai, in the past 1300 years, nine Tibetan kings and 10 Dalai Lamas had been preaching here. In 1988, the state allocated a large sum of money to repair this palace that had not been overhauled since the 17th century.
The 13th floor of the Potala Palace. There were palaces, Buddhist halls, scripture study halls, sleeping chambers, spiritual towers, courtyards, etc. in the palace. The hall was divided into two parts, the Red Palace and the White House. The Red Palace was a place to worship Buddha and hold religious ceremonies. In the Red Palace, the spiritual pagoda where the body of the previous life's Dalai was placed. The pagoda was wrapped in gold and inlaid with precious jade, looking resplendent. Among these spiritual towers, the one belonging to the Fifth Dalai was the most spectacular. It was a three-story Great Golden Pagoda built in the main hall. The pagoda was shaped like the white pagoda in Beihai Park in Beijing. It was 14.85 meters tall and was covered in gold from top to bottom. Countless gems were inlaid on the outside. Just this tower alone cost 110,000 taels of gold. There were also a large number of precious cultural relics preserved in the Red Palace, such as imperial edicts, seals, gifts, exquisite craftsmanship treasures, rare scriptures and classics, as well as various Buddha statues, Thangka, ritual implements, offerings, and so on.
The halls on both sides of the Red Palace were called the White House, and it was the place where the Dalai dealt with government affairs and daily life. The architecture and furnishings of these halls were exquisite and gorgeous. The palace of the Dalai was prominent. The golden pots and jade bowls on the tea table were exquisite, and the brocade was dazzling. The "Sunlight Palace" of the 14th Tibetan lama still had a pure gold Buddha statue, a jade carved Guanyin, thread-bound scriptures, ancient porcelain, western clocks, and many other treasures.”
Xu Qing worked hard to raise the loudspeaker and explained the tourist classics of the Potala Palace, its history, architectural style, and its international status. Everyone seemed to be attracted by Xu Qing's words. However, he was more intoxicated by this mysterious magic palace.
The moment we stood under the Potala Palace, I realized that humans are actually so small. Such a majestic aura, such a majestic building. At this moment, everyone was intoxicated by this magical aura and mysterious color. It was majestic, magnificent, wonderful, and penetrating. Everyone was very calm, as if they had already left all the troubles of time. There were no disputes, no barriers. However, everyone was more excited, enlightened, and excited.
We weaved in and out of the bustling pilgrimage crowd. Xu Qing led us through one building after another, doing her best to explain the legends of this place. Today, everyone had offered incense. There were even a few people who had taken photos with the lamas as a memento and made a few harmless jokes. Of course, we also offered incense sticks. I also benefited from them and received a few incense sticks. I sincerely offered them.
Zhou Xinya suddenly pulled Sun Kerui aside and whispered to her. He left me and Wang Shuai at the side. Wang Shuai and I smiled bitterly and shook our heads, not bothering him. The secrets of a girl are not something we can easily know.
At that moment, Xu Qing shouted through the loudspeaker,""Students, gather around. Please come over. I have something to instruct you.”
A few students heard Xu Qing's words and gathered around. After Xu Qing swept a glance at everyone, his gaze paused on my face for a moment. I didn't know if it was an illusion, but it made my little heart beat a few times. Just as I was thinking about this, Xu Qing said,"Students, it's 9:40 now. You have an hour of free time. Please gather here at 10:40. After that, we'll return to the hotel and rest for the afternoon. There'll be a pilgrimage bonfire party at night. Everyone, get ready. There'll be fun tonight.”
Immediately, a wolf-like gaze lit up. Indeed, such a moment was definitely the time when everyone was watching. It was also the best opportunity to pick up girls. Who wouldn't want to leave behind a beautiful memory on the last night? Everyone shouted excitedly and scattered in twos and threes. Although he was in the Potala Palace now, his heart had already flown to the bonfire party at night.
We were still the same four-person group, and we were in the various scenic spots of the Potala Palace. Of course, Wang Shuai couldn't help but complain that he couldn't find a Monk. However, it doesn't matter. To us, the scenery is more important. It's not that I haven't thought about the purpose of finding a monk. But this thing, there's nothing I can do without it.
Just like that, we turned and turned until we arrived in front of a quiet forest. I looked at the forest in confusion and asked,"Brother, are we going in?"
Zhou Xinya and Sun Kerui looked at Wang Shuai with questioning eyes, as if to say,'You come over there and pay attention.' As for Wang Shuai, he looked left and right and said fiercely,"F * ck, let's go in, why not? If there's a Monk inside, it'll be worth it if I lie down. Even if there were no monks, it would still be an adventure. Hehe, don't you think so, brother?"
I looked around and didn't see many pedestrians. I shook my head in confusion and said,"I think it's better to forget it. Look, there aren't many people around. If this is the Holy Land that the book mentioned, wouldn't we be in big trouble?”
Wang Shuai curled his lips and said,""Damn, have you read too many martial arts novels? Is there a no-trespassing sign here?”
I looked around and indeed didn't see any 'No Entry' sign. The doubt in his heart also disappeared a lot, but he still stubbornly said,"I didn't hang the sign, but for those who have read too many martial arts novels, it's you. Because from the beginning to the end, you've been searching for martial arts.”The other two girls looked at Wang Shuai with an expression of agreement. Wang Shuai muttered in embarrassment and took the lead to enter.
In fact, it was just as Wang Shuai had said. This was not a place where idle people were not allowed to enter. However, this wasn't a place that ordinary idlers could enter. This was because the abbot of the Potala Palace, the Seventh Living Buddha, lived here. And if we were to delay for a while longer, we might have seen a little lama running over in a hurry and putting up a sign that said 'No trespasses'. The world was like this. There were too many coincidences and too many helplessness. If we dawdle for a while, then I might be able to live a peaceful life in the future. But because of this, my future life has become more and more colorful. Many years later, I asked myself if I made the right choice to travel. However, now is not the time for us to consider. We have already arrived at an exquisite courtyard.
This courtyard was very elegant and beautiful. It made the four of us feel refreshed, and it also made us feel that we were hallucinating. It was as if this courtyard should have suddenly appeared in front of us. It was as if this courtyard should have existed here in the first place. In any case, it made us feel that everything was so natural and so profound.
At this moment, a skinny lama in a red robe stood at the door. He looked like a Buddha from the Western Buddhist Realm. He stood at the door and looked at us with a smile. He bowed and said,"Amitabha. My four young friends have arrived. This Penniless Monk has been slightly negligent.”
This lama, the moment he opened his mouth, he started to talk about poverty, making the four of us feel uncomfortable. I'm fine. I usually have nothing to do and always like to use a few ancient words. I can get used to hearing such words. As for the three of them, they looked at each other, not knowing how to answer. Fortunately, Wang Shuai knew that I liked to use ancient language when I had nothing to do. He was afraid that I would be rude when meeting an eminent monk, so he immediately pushed me, indicating that I should go and reply. I was instantly dumbfounded. I thought to myself, I do like to use ancient language, but that doesn't mean I will use it to communicate with others. However, when the lama looked at us with a focused expression, I could only brace myself and step forward to say,"I'm sorry, Master. We accidentally trespassed into your esteemed land. We'll leave quickly now. I hope Master can forgive us. I've offended you, I've offended you.”
