Chapter 484 Visiting the Shwedagon Pagoda

"On our Myanmar side, the Shwedagon Pagoda has another name, 'Rui Daguang Pagoda'." Looking up at the Shwedagon Pagoda not far away, Hu Yongwen explained: "Rui means gold in Burmese. , Daguang is the ancient city of Yangon, so we locals like to call Shwedagon Pagoda Shwedagon Pagoda.”

Hearing this, Ye Feng and his party nodded. In fact, Liu Feng had already introduced this point in the hotel.

Under the leadership and introduction of Hu Yongwen and his wife, a group of people began to walk slowly towards the location of the Shwedagon Pagoda...

As the group walked towards the Shwedagon Pagoda from the place where they got off the bus, Hu Yongwen explained: "In Myanmar, all Burmese men have to shave their hair to become monks at least once in their lives. This is considered a kind of good deeds, so in Myanmar , many pagodas, temples and Buddha statues, which are the characteristics of Burmese Buddhist culture."

Ye Feng nodded and said: "When Brother Liu made the introduction, he already felt it. According to Brother Liu, the famous scenic spots in Yangon, such as the Shwedagon Pagoda where we are now, and the World Peace Pagoda, the sword The Tiyu Pagoda and the Qiaotaji Reclining Buddha are basically the most famous scenic spots, all of which are pagodas and Buddha statues."

"A place has its own characteristics. This is the characteristic culture of a country and nation, and it can also be said to be a kind of inherited belief." Du Yu took over the words.

Zuo Yunlei and Sun Zilong both nodded at the same time and followed suit: "Yes, the status of Buddhist pagodas and Buddha statues in Myanmar must be the same as that of the Great Wall and the Forbidden City in our country in the hearts of Chinese people. They all have an irreplaceable position.”

"That's right!" Hu Yongwen nodded with a smile, and continued: "Actually, in the whole territory of Miandian, there are more than hundreds of thousands of pagodas, large and small. As for temples and Buddha statues, although they are not as good as pagodas There are so many, but there are tens of thousands of them together, so Myanmar actually has another name, 'the country of pagodas'."

"This may be related to beliefs. According to our Burmese people, how early pagodas can be built for the next life and accumulate wealth for the next life. Therefore, many places will vigorously build pagodas, and some wealthy businessmen will spare no effort to build them. This has directly led to an increase in the number of pagodas built year after year."

"Brother Hu, according to what you said, you and Brother Liu must have donated a lot to build the pagoda, right?" Ye Feng asked with a smile.

"Although Lao Liu moved here with his family when he was a child, the blood flowing in his bones is still the blood of your Chinese nation, so Lao Liu does not believe this kind of statement. Although there are donations for construction, the amount is very small, only a few It's just a pagoda. I donate a lot to build it, and if I count it, there are not hundreds, and there are definitely seventy or eighty." Hu Yongwen said slowly.

Hearing this, Ye Feng, Zuo Yunlei, Du Yu, and Sun Zilong hesitated for a moment, but Hu Yongwen donated seventy or eighty to nearly a hundred pagodas alone, which is not difficult to explain why in There are hundreds of thousands of pagodas in Myanmar.

"Brother Hu, you're so busy building pagodas here, aren't you afraid that if the development continues like this, the land area will shrink significantly?" When he came back to his senses, Ye Feng asked the question he had been thinking about all along.

Hu Yongwen has been thinking about this question ever since he said that there are hundreds of thousands of pagodas in Myanmar, and many people are willing to vigorously build pagodas.

"This problem was not obvious before, but it has been highlighted recently. Therefore, the government has already controlled the construction of pagodas. The first is the size and scale, and the second is the number. Both of these points have been done. Very rigid restrictions." Hu Yongwen said with a smile.

Ye Feng nodded, and didn't say anything more. Anyone can understand such a simple question. It is impossible and there is no reason why the local government can't think of it.

"Brother Ye, do you know that this Shwedagon Pagoda has tens of thousands of pieces of gold foil pasted on the main tower, and the combined weight of these gold foils exceeds ten tons, and the top of the Shwedagon Pagoda It is entirely made of pure gold with a purity of more than 90.00%, and it is also inlaid with 440 and 310 different types of diamonds, and there are [-] and [-] gemstones of different colors.” After walking forward for a while, The Shwedagon Pagoda was getting closer and closer to everyone, and the golden feeling became more intense.

"Tens of thousands of pieces of gold foil, with a total weight of more than ten tons, the top of the tower made of pure gold, more than [-] diamonds of different types and [-] gemstones of different colors..."

As the sound of Hu Yongwen's words fell, the group of people, except Liu Feng, almost opened their mouths inexplicably at the same time, and stood here in a daze.

No wonder the name of this pagoda is Shwedagon Pagoda, it is indeed a veritable golden pagoda.

After talking and walking for a while, everyone has already entered the mountain gate. After entering the mountain gate, the huge pagoda base is clearly presented in front of everyone. The Shwedagon Pagoda has four entrances, and each entrance has a meaning on both sides. The stone lion handle of the town house, after entering the entrance, is a long sky step, which can go directly to the top of the golden pagoda.

To enter the interior of the Shwedagon Pagoda, you must take off your shoes, which is a sincere expression of Buddhist believers.Under the arrangement of the staff, a group of people took off their shoes and entered the interior of the Shwedagon Pagoda through the entrance on one side.

On a series of steps, there is a statue of Buddha, and the bottom of the tower is made of bricks and covered with gold nuggets. These are real gold bricks made of pure gold, donated by Buddhists from all walks of life in Myanmar. In the niches on the foreshadowing in the pagoda, jade Buddha statues of different shapes are enshrined.

Walking in the golden pagoda, from time to time there are monks walking by barefoot. Although this golden pagoda is extremely luxurious, but people standing in it, people can't help but have a different kind of tranquility in their hearts. And, it seems that I have not been affected by this kind of splendor and luxury at all, as if I am in a calm and simple place.

……

After visiting the Great Golden Altar, Ye Feng and his party successively visited Bandura Square, World Peace Pagoda, Jiandi Youfo Pagoda and Qiaotaji Reclining Buddha.

Sure enough, they are the most famous scenic spots in Yangon, Myanmar, and also the most famous scenic spots in the whole of Myanmar. The pagodas and various Buddha statues of these ancient buildings are quite local in Myanmar, bringing people a kind of Myanmar. A sense of precipitation in local history.

After visiting all these scenic spots, it was almost six o'clock in the afternoon.After such a day of contact, the relationship between Zuo Xinrui and Hu Chunyao seemed to be much closer, they looked very close, like a pair of good girlfriends.

Such a scene made Ye Feng and Zhang Kexin more and more confused. I don't know what kind of idea Zuo Xinrui is doing today?
But even though he was puzzled, Ye Feng felt a little relieved. Anyway, as long as the world war between the three women did not break out, he thought that after Hu Chunyao arrived, the situation he would face would be even more cruel. It's so easy to think of...

Of course, what Ye Feng was most worried about was whether Hu Chunyao after recovery would become like Zuo Xinrui after recovery. Fortunately, he was not as worried, otherwise, the result can be imagined!

That night, Hu Yongwen's family arranged a sumptuous reception banquet for Ye Feng and his party at the Yangon Grand Hotel, and everyone left after making a fuss until late at night.

During the dinner, Hu Yongwen took the initiative to clink glasses with Ye Feng more than once, and he could see the excitement and joy in his father's heart since Ye Feng cured Hu Chunyao's illness.

Maybe it was because he drank a little too much. After clinking glasses, Hu Yongwen raised his glass to Liu Feng: "Old Liu, thank you."

Liu Feng was stunned for a moment, thinking that Hu Yongwen was going to talk about introducing Ye Feng to treat Hu Chunyao's illness, then he smiled and said: "Old Hu, how many years have we two brothers been friends! Why are you still mentioning this? Besides, I just Pulling the needle and connecting the thread, the medical treatment is all done by Brother Ye himself."

"It's not this, I'm not talking about this..." Hu Yongwen shook his head and waved his hands, "I know what you mean by asking me to arrange a car to take Brother Ye and the others to visit some famous scenic spots in Yangon. You I want to give Yao'er more chances to get in touch with Brother Ye..."

Gah!
Liu Feng became a little embarrassed. He understood Hu Chunyao's thoughts very well, so in his selfishness, he really hoped that Hu Chunyao could... that's why he called Hu Yongwen and asked him to send a business car when he decided to visit the scenic spots. Well, to put it bluntly, these are just to deceive others, the real purpose is to give Hu Chunyao more opportunities to get in touch with Ye Feng.

The situation in Myanmar is different from that in China. Some rich people can often marry several wives, but it is different from the exaggeration of A Sanguo. Therefore, basically no one cares about Ye Feng already having a partner. very open.

But now, when Hu Yongwen said such a thing, Liu Feng couldn't help but feel a little uncomfortable.

Hu Chunyao's face at this time also blushed.

Ye Feng and his group were also very speechless about Liu Feng's actions, especially Zhang Kexin, the girl's face was already a little displeased.

However, everyone was also very surprised by what Hu Yongwen and his wife did. After knowing that Ye Feng already had someone to get along with, they did not stop their daughter Hu Chunyao from thinking, but instead took the initiative to push people towards Ye Feng. It's so weird!
Living in two different countries, the national conditions in Myanmar are like this, so in their hearts, even if they understand the actual situation here, it is still difficult to truly understand the true state of mind of the native Burmese people here.
