After getting far away, he said: "Although Buddhism advocates the equality of all living beings, India, where it originated, is an extremely patriarchal place. It is closely related to the world view of Brahmanism. When it spread to our country, it also entered the patriarchal society.
Religion is a product of society and a manifestation of social thought. Under the global patriarchal society that has existed for thousands of years, no matter what religion, it is almost always men who spread it. Since it is passed from person to person..."
The tourists couldn't help but laugh.
"There are limitations. So no matter what the doctrine is, it will be different in every place and every era. Because under the social environment at that time, even these religious powers cannot truly transcend the times."
Everyone nodded.
"In the past, many temples did not allow women to enter. Now many temples are open to female believers and tourists at the initiative of some eminent monks and abbots. However, most believers are only pious executors, not interpreters of doctrines."
"Zhonghe Temple is better. Master Wuti took us to visit and invited us to eat. He didn't say that women can't see or eat." A female tourist said.
He Huan said: "When we go to a place, we just respect their rules. If the female Bodhisattva cannot enter, we won't go in."
A group of female Bodhisattvas were happy. Naturally, their targets had no objections. They were not believers anyway, and they also understood the history of Buddhism taught by He Huan at Cangshan Mountain and the history of Tibetan Buddhism taught here.
He Huan took them away from Songzanlin Temple and to the ancient city of Dukezong.
Although the ancient city has been newly built, you can still feel the traces of history while walking on the uneven stone streets.
He Huan said: "We talked on the road that Lijiang worships water and likes to live near water. In addition to water being the source of life, another reason is that water can extinguish fire.
Naxi folk houses are mainly made of civil structures. Dukezong Ancient City also has civil structures and a Sifang Street. However, the biggest difference from Lijiang Ancient City is that there is no water.
Dukezong, during the Tang Dynasty, the Tubo Dynasty built a stone city based on the Shambhala Utopia in the Buddhist scriptures. Therefore, in Tibetan pronunciation, it contains two meanings, one is a castle built on stone, and the other is moonlight.
city.
We just talked about Tibetan Buddhism, which was introduced to Tibet by Princess Wencheng who married into Tubo. This area originally belonged to the Tubo dynasty.
Because the Hengduan Mountains blocked east-west traffic, the caravans created a Southern Silk Road, leading to Southeast Asia and Central and Western Asia. Dukezong was an important town on the Tea Horse Road and the first stop for the caravans after entering Tibet."
Even though it is a new city, even though it is surrounded by shops and tourists, everyone still saw the rise and fall of a dynasty and heard the echoes of history in He Huan's explanation of the Tubo Dynasty and its relationship with the Central Plains and surrounding countries.
After coming out of the ancient city, He Huan said: "Let's go! Let's see if our Tibetan Xiang pig is roasted?"
"Ahhh!" Everyone returned to modern times in an instant, and their mouths were watering.
A group of people got on a tourist bus and went to the county seat again.
In fact, we are almost reaching the suburbs. It looks simple from the outside, but when you smell the fragrance, you will know that it is not simple.
"Boss! Is our pig roasted yet?" He Huan asked as soon as he got out of the car.
Everyone laughed and said, "It's such a friendly call! Piggy didn't expect you to roast it before!"
A man with a red face came out, holding his shoulder with one hand and holding his hand with the other, "Xiao Bailong! I can see you in person! Welcome!"
This was an authentic Kham man who enthusiastically led them to the back, where Tibetan pigs were being roasted on the hot pit racks.
"Come and see! If you call me at noon, I will bake it for you!"
"Hmm..." Everyone looked around and sniffed hard. There were so many cute pigs, and they didn't know which one was theirs.
The boss led them to a fire pit. There was a little pig lying on the iron frame, its skin was yellow and crispy, and the fragrance was overflowing.
"Wow wow wow!" Everyone was drooling, and the boss looked at them happily.
The boss patted He Huan on the shoulder, asked them to sit around the table, and asked the waiter to bring the pig to them and come over to cut the pork for them.
He Huan said: "The Tibetan pig is an endangered animal in my country and is a protected animal."
"Ah! We are eating protected animals!" Everyone looked at Piggy, but they didn't want to show any mercy.
He Huan said with a smile: "This cute pig grew up drinking mountain springs, eating cordyceps, ginseng, and watching the beautiful scenery, so it is also called ginseng pig or cordyceps pig."
"Wow! It's better than us!"
"No matter how good it is, isn't it for you to eat now?"
Everyone started laughing again.
"It is a pig breed unique to the plateau areas of our country. People love sports, so they are not as fat as other second senior brothers."
"Hahaha..." the tourists laughed, "Hey!"
"Yes, the other second senior brothers don't weigh more than three or four hundred pounds. Are you embarrassed to let people eat them? But the average weight of Tibetan pigs is less than one hundred pounds when they reach adulthood."
"Wow! She's thinner than me!" several girls said.
Everyone laughed.
"Our whole roasted pig is even smaller. It is also the only grazing pig breed in my country. It loves to exercise, so it has very low fat content, thin skin, lean meat, and rich nutrition."
"Wow!"
He Huan looked at them, "Look at you, you are drooling several kilograms, and you are still dreaming of a hundred kilograms!"
"Hahaha..." the tourists laughed wildly.
The waiter cut the pork for them with a smile. The fragrant pork was cut into pieces, making it even more fragrant, and placed directly on the plate piece by piece.
"Eat a lot of meat and drink a lot!" a tourist said excitedly, rolling up his sleeves.
He Huan said: "Don't drink! We are going to Pudacuo tomorrow. Please take it easy. Don't drink when you go to high altitude places. Eat more fruits and vegetables."
The waiter divided the pork for everyone and put it on their plates, and divided the rest on a large plate.
He Huan looked at the young man and said, "We poor people have never eaten such a rare pig. Please teach us how to eat it."
Wearing disposable gloves, the young man picked up a large piece of lettuce with a smile, then picked up a piece of pork, dipped it in salt, and handed the meat to him in a roll.
"Ah! It's so easy!" He Huan took it and put it on the plate. He immediately rolled up a piece of pork and handed it to Long Teng.
Everyone looked at him with a smile, put on their gloves one after another, and rolled up the barbecue with various dipping sauces.
The people at the table were grabbing and eating the meat like primitive people.
He Huan said while eating: "When Princess Wencheng came to Tubo, she couldn't get used to eating Tubo's tsampa and drinking Tubo's butter tea.
The princess's guards went to catch the wild boar and feed it to the princess. The princess couldn't stop eating the cute little wild boar, just like you are now."
"Hahaha..." Everyone stopped, looked up at him, and listened to what he said while eating meat.
"But wild boars are not just caught. They live in dense forests in the mountains. In order to allow the princess to eat delicious pork every day, the guards raised some of the little wild boars they caught."
"The guards are so kind to the princess!"
"How about the princess and the knight!"
"Hahaha……"
"The knight is the one who loves the princess the most! As for the prince, he eats yak meat every day. When he saw that the Han princess ate pork so deliciously, he couldn't help but taste a piece. Oops, after this taste, he couldn't stop!"
Tourists bite into the pork and laugh.
"The prince said, oh, it's so delicious! You Han people are really good at eating! We didn't know we had such delicious food here, so we made a pig dinner and invited all the nobles to eat.
oops……"
"The nobles can't stop!" the tourists continued with a smile.
"Yes! Then the poor little wild boar was raised. Of course, it was allowed to roam freely, along with the cattle and sheep. The little piglet became a tribute to the Tibetan nobles.
The Tang Dynasty sent people to visit Princess Wencheng, and the princess used this little pig to entertain relatives from her hometown. The ministers of the Tang Dynasty ate it..."
"I can't stop either!"
He Huanxiao looked at them, and people gradually came to other tables. They were so excited by the atmosphere of the Little White Dragon Group that they couldn't stop.
That's how it is when it comes to eating. If you're with someone who eats well, it tastes good.
People who don't eat here and eat that, and are giggling while watching others eat, are the most unhappy people when eating together.
Although Longteng is a light dish, it still tastes delicious without being dipped in spicy condiments.
After a while, the waiter brought them a basket of highland barley cakes.
He Huan said: "This is our staple food! Rice and wheat are not produced on the plateau, but highland barley is produced. This is highland barley cake! Everyone, try it!"
The tourists all reached out to take the cake.
He Huan handed a piece to Long Teng. She really liked eating these cakes and pastries. Seeing that she was used to eating them, He Huan was also very happy.
When they had almost eaten, a large pot of still simmering soup was served again.
"What is this?" everyone asked curiously.
"This is pig offal soup from the belly of a pig. Come on, drink it! In the past, these heart, liver, spleen, lung and kidney soups could only be eaten during confinement period!"
The tourists started laughing again.
The waiter scooped a bowl for each of them.
Some tourists are afraid to open their mouths.
He Huan said: "It's normal to take you to eat! I haven't let you eat bugs! The little pig is so cute, you only eat its smooth appearance and not its rich inside. Do you really love it? Do you deserve it?
?"
The tourists smiled and picked up their spoons, "Okay, okay! Stop talking, we'll just eat!"
The table next to me is gradually filling up. Looking at them, I can’t help but smile. It’s a lively atmosphere even after eating!
"Put some mint!" He Huan said, "In Yunzhou, we eat beef, mutton, and all kinds of pig offal, beef offal, and haggis. Mint is the standard ingredient! It can remove the greasiness and smell."
The tourists put mint again.
He Huan put a handful of mint and soaked it in the soup, then put two young leaves into the Longteng bowl and said gently: "Try it."
"Hmm." Long Teng mustered up the courage to pick up the spoon.
After eating and drinking, I was sweating profusely.
He Huan went to the hall to make a large pot of Pu'er tea and poured it for everyone, "to relieve tiredness."
"Still drinking!" A tourist drank, "One more drink!"
"Don't drink too much tea. If you are not drunk with wine, you will be drunk with tea."
Everyone laughed. The tour guide had to take care of food and drink!
After eating and going back, He Huan told them, "You are sweating all over after eating, but please don't take a bath tonight. Take a shower and wash your hair and dry it quickly."
The tourists looked at him, it was funny, he was a tour guide who was more worried than his mother!
"Go to bed early and don't do strenuous exercise."
"Hahaha..." The tourists laughed and went back to their rooms.
He Huan also accompanied Long Teng upstairs and stopped at the door of her room. Master Feng hurriedly slipped to the next door and closed the door.
He Huan paused, watched her enter the room, and then walked to the next door to swipe the card to enter.
Master Feng looked at him, "Why are you back again?"
"I'll take a shower."
"Hee hee hee……"
He Huan looked at him speechlessly, smiled, took a refreshing shower, and got dressed.
Master Feng looked at him, "What else are you wearing? I'll lock you up as soon as you go out!"
