Sri Lanka is an island surrounded by the Sea, and the whole island is a unified country
Our older generation didn't have much of an impression of the name Sri Lanka, which he had previously called:
Now one of the world's three major black teas is still called by this name: {[Ceylon black tea]}
This is not his most original name, he has a more domineering name in ancient China: [Lion Country]
During the Southern and Northern Dynasties, our Eastern Jin Dynasty monk Fa Xian arrived in the Lion Kingdom in 410, and the Book of Liang and the History of the Song Dynasty record the details of the Lion Kingdom's interaction with us
Is there another problem with that?
Presumably, from this name, everyone will naturally think that there are definitely many lions in the lion country!
It turns out that we are wrong again, there are no lions in the lion country,
According to the book's author's decades of life and work in Sri Lanka, he found
There were no lions here, not now, and not before.
Why is it called Lion Country? It turned out that the founder of this dynasty was said to be a lion himself. Their ancestors immigrated from India
They did not produce lions locally, but this did not prevent them from creating a true lion country of their own.
One of the palaces is to carve the entire mountain into a lion
This is an unprecedented superhuman masterpiece in ancient times.
The entire Lion Rock is surrounded by forests
High rocks, just like our ancient poem "unique and independent"
【A smile pours into the city, and then laughs at the country】
The restoration of the photo at the beginning of our article is what he really looked like. It was the real Lion Palace when it was first built 1500 years ago
If you want to cross back, look up, look up at the sky. This shock is no less than the shock effect that it says on the top that you have won the two-color ball of 10 million.
There are only three words to describe: [I can't believe it]
In 1500 years, the sun and moon were reincarnated, the seasons turned, and the Lion Rock was still there. But his lion's head had disappeared without a trace.
Fortunately, the trees and flowers under his feet still guarded him, smiling at the spring breeze
There were once many palace houses built on top of his rock
From a military point of view, this is an excellent protective fortification, easy to defend and difficult to attack. As long as there is enough water and food, it can support it for a long time.
But his true value is reflected in his architectural art
With the mountain as a lion, such a project, art, must be completed under the ancient imperial power,
There may be a future that cannot be repeated.
At his climb, the lion's huge claws are still creeping here,
Waited for his master for 1500 years
Leaning forward to take a look, the momentum is still majestic, and it is even more breathtaking.
In this lion palace, 300 years after its completion, they also sent troops to attack overseas, and the troops directly approached the Burmese region, which was a country at that time.
The military strength of the Kingdom of Biao is too weak, it is not at all the opponent of the Lion State army, and when it is about to destroy the country and die, it comes to our local government in Yunnan [Nanzhao]
--------------------
If you have all read Jin Yong's martial arts novel "Tianlong Babu", there is an ancestral country of Yunnan [Dali Guo]
Nanzhao is the predecessor of the Dali State in Yunnan. One was active in the Song Dynasty and one was active in the Tang Dynasty.
At that time, the king of Nanzhao persuaded Fengyou to send Duan Zongyi to lead an army to the rescue. After repelling the invading army of the Lion Kingdom the following year, the State of Qi rewarded him with a golden Buddha, and Duan Zongyi led the Nanzhao army back to Tengyue.
Relying on Nanzhao, the kingdom escaped a catastrophe, so the time for the extinction of the country was postponed for more than a hundred years.
