 Of: Bornfree
walking and reading is a tonic, the days have to fatten her weakness. Written for walking and reading, the equivalent of eating the milk, squeezed out the yogurt.
But this time I Write the Potala Palace, really ate grass. While riding Tibet twice, usually also read a lot of books on Tibet, not to claim an expert in Tibetan studies, but wait to write it, or cattle-like more than one meter thick to put the information turned a upside down, tossing a big half time. Do not laugh at my hand slowly, and real not just wrong.

transcripts of the in January 2006, .
first time into the Potala Palace, we carries a mysterious and magnificent impression Hunhundundun Yousui to leave, as did a fond dreams, not tell but can not forget, can not forget the added unclear. Over the years we often walk, but few, and hardly any ground such as Potala Palace, the King, as there is always a voice saying: You know what?
Millennium Potala Palace, the dazzling brilliance extravagant enough Lai Searching for joy to the Hajj and the people, the intoxicating heavy past, always been covered glory, and from the pilgrims and visitors are blurred vision and Hustle in the footsteps slip, like a monster waves downstream from the open quietly. < br> a huge castle in the wood can not count every brick, every house, every one of caves and corridors as well as sculptures, murals and artifacts, all wondering what was going his own unique and touching story. Now, we can only If the smoke with sea-ho historical stories and legends to interpret, intimate touch them. However, the lack of historical records and legends are not immune, fallacies and contradictions, so we lost touch has become Pushuo.
Potala Palace is a maze, it is not the end of play, not only, there is no absolute right path. It is worth pondering again, both have been to a few back, you can only bring more understanding and more Some of the confusion back to Lhasa, Potala back.
Zhenguan 6 years (AD 632), moved the capital of Tibetan logic 32 on behalf of the king of the underworld more, the ancient city of Lhasa opened numerous dazzled 1,300 years of civilization. a very legendary inventor of young people not even had time to text, it has begun construction on top of Red Hill in Lhasa always astonished the world to build a huge castle. the original palace of the Potala Palace is called Red Hill, there is no Buddha, no Lama Only after the king, love and hatred, the glory and the nightmare, not the legend and conjecture, and the truth we never recovered.
it was made emperor Taizong fourth year, young pine like seeing their own Tubo Dynasty is about to fall apart: his father was poisoned, foreign invasions, the minister and the queen mother of the tribes have Jubing rebellion. who do not have expect, this almost was a child, king of the underworld in just three years, then its genius strategy, leading more than a mere re-unification of the Tibetan troops and horses, and capital to move more logic plump plants (now in Lhasa). That year he was 16 years old.
since there are many reasons people call him the size of the cavern, is the year's first home Songtsan its capital Lhasa, the enigmatic young man is from the caves of this small shabby unparalleled prosperity of the Tang to the then proposed a royal princess to marry the requirements of employment.
not difficult to imagine why his marriage has repeatedly requested the Emperor did not agree. It seems to Huang Huang Tang, Tibet is just a distant land of cold, mud smeared with red ocher face, not enlightenment, not even text the original group. One time, after your marriage failed, I heard that sweet, green land Tuyuhun (Xianbei a) relied on substantial dowry and Qude Datang than their princess, enraged elite Songtsan lead a merger of their country in one fell swoop Most concurrent soldiers loose state (now Songpan) forced to Tangchao Wu forces. This time at war, victory or defeat each other of Tang Dynasty, Fan, although after the defeat, kept Taizong understand the Tibetan powerful and important strategic military strength meaning, therefore, when after the war and the re-Songtsan emissary to apologize when you married, Taizong consented.
next year, sending his outstanding phase Songtsan Gar as a marriage to Robinson, With hundreds of treasures of gold and five thousand two hundred odd play, please re-married to Tang Dulong. Unexpectedly, Gar, when reached Chang'an, Tianzhu, great food, Gesar and other countries have also sent a wedding gift to bring the request and Datang marriage, Emperor felt very embarrassed, then, Taizong out a set of outrageous and elegant way, he would thread through a series out of a nine channels of the Pearl, from three hundred beautiful women dressed in the same Princess Wen Cheng to identify five tricky problem for countries to compete with marriage to a more intelligence to decision belongs to the princess. The results, Gar to his outstanding ingenuity to win the favor of big Tangjun Chen, successfully welcome to Princess Wen Cheng snow-covered plateau, will become his master's nephew Datang.
we all know, Princess Wen Cheng brought out of Tibet at the time married to a very rich cultural wealth, and even by the shock of Songtsan said: side 16, Songtsan have 25 years old, and has married a Nepalese princess red statue, but he did not reduce the infinite passion for the Grand Princess. He began a large-scale expansion of the palace in the Red Hill on top, forming a A magnificent royal castle, set its size, according to in addition, no decent buildings, as well as the most precious thing Yuwen Cheng Princess mm dowry that the Buddha was alive, carved by the Indian royal tailor-year-old life-sized cast of the Golden Buddha 12 mm even as the trees can only be placed on the foot of the mountain years. the history of Princess Wen Cheng is indeed a virtuous and learned fear, and she did in Lhasa, the first major event, not a rush to cover their own Yuyu King House, but public opinion survey to the five elements of the reason for the red princess respect to design and organize the construction of the Jokhang Temple. Jokhang Temple Feng Shui really wonders, just a few years later, around the Jokhang Temple has been accepted by all 18 pilgrims hotel, and gradually came to attract people to settle far and wide, forming a Lhasa prototype of the old city. Xiaozhaoshi the same time she also built to worship the Buddha that. She's dedication to Buddhism and reality arising from the impact of the Buddhist Order Songtsen see this plateau and almost all of its rulers the meaning and value.
with large, Xiaozhaoshi and Red Hill to complete the construction of the palace group, the Tubo Dynasty entered the heyday era. But the day is always wonderful going too fast. not live in the mountains of Red Hill Palace used, Songtsan left, 25-year-old widowed Princess Wen Cheng. Regulation by the Tang Dynasty, Chang'an she should return, but she chose to stay in Lhasa, this brought her full of crops, covered with She designed the house, had to blend with them the life of the place. After her husband vowed to When His Holiness the hole, it is easy to imagine that 30 years, Princess Wen Cheng often to her husband during his lifetime the great place to stay for too long memories of the days when young.
