Who is the tall handball stick standing in the Grand Palace in Thailand?
Grand Palace The world-famous Grand Palace, adjacent to the Chao Phraya River, is a large-scale ancient building complex in the center of Bangkok. The Grand Palace is resplendent and full of national colors. The Bangkok dynasty lived in the Grand Palace from Rama I to Rama VIII. After Rama VIII was stabbed in the Palace on 1946, Rama IX moved to the newly-built Gilada Palace in the east of the Grand Palace. At present, the Grand Palace is not only used for coronation ceremonies, court celebrations and other ceremonies and activities, but also open to the public at ordinary times, and has become a famous tourist attraction in Thailand. The Grand Palace is a collection of the essence of Thai architecture, painting, sculpture and decorative arts. Its style has distinctive Siamese architectural features, so it is called "The Complete Works of Thai Art". Along the way, Mr. Hong, a local tour guide in Thailand called Pihong by Thai people, explained the history of Thailand. Pitan, an explanation guide in the Grand Palace, introduced several dynasties and monarchs in Thailand in detail. Thailand was called Siam in ancient times, and 1949 was renamed Thailand. History is not long. Thais originated from the south of China. Around the 3rd century, Siam was ruled by the Khmer Empire of neighboring Angkor Dynasty, but soon the Thai people won the battle, drove away the Khmer people and established their first dynasty-Sukhothai Dynasty. The monarch is Langen Star the Great. In the history of Thailand, only three emperors were honored as emperors. Emperor Langanxing's greatest contribution was to unify Thai characters. Today's Thai bean sprouts are the result of his transformation of Khmer characters, just as Japanese and Korean evolved from Chinese characters in China. In addition, he believed in Buddhism, and like Xuanzang's journey to the West, he also sent people to Ceylon to learn from the scriptures and preached the teachings of Hinayana Buddhism when he came back. The murals in the Grand Palace recorded their process of learning the scriptures. It's called Journey to the West in China, but I just forgot what it's called in Thailand. During the reign of Emperor Langanxing, the country became rich and strong. But after his death, the country became weak. 1347, a satrap's son-in-law, Ramatiepudi, assembled troops at the confluence of the Chao Phraya River and the Basse River, established a new city, named Ayudia (known as the Great City in China), and made it king. This is the second dynasty in Thailand-Dacheng Dynasty. Replaced the Sukhothai dynasty. Dacheng dynasty lasted more than 400 years and experienced 33 generations of kings. /kloc-in the 0/7th century, the Burmese army invaded this big city and destroyed its buildings. Later, this grand palace was modeled after the previous one. When the capital fell, a general named Zheng, who was later honored as King Zheng, escaped from the capital. Later, he assembled an army and led the army to recapture the occupied city from Myanmar, moved the capital to Wuli, and established the third dynasty in Thailand-Wuli Dynasty. The tour guide said that Zheng Wang was from China and married a Thai woman. The Wu Dynasty only lasted 15 years. However, in order to commemorate his great achievements, the Thai people along the Chao Phraya River built the Zhengwang Temple. Wangzheng Temple is now the seat of Thailand Tourism Bureau. Later, when we visited the Chao phraya River, we saw Wang Zheng Temple. I have a respectful heart. China people. After the death of King Zheng, one of his generals was elected king, and the Rama Dynasty, the present dynasty of Thailand, was established. Moved the capital to Bangkok today. Today's Tai Huang IX. The tour guide showed us photos of Rama I to Rama IX. The mounts from I to IV are all elephants. Cars have been used since Rama V. King V is called Chulalongkorn, and he is the second emperor to be honored as the great by Thai people. He is a great and wise king in Thai history. Historians call his reign "the era of reform", which is actually the beginning of Thailand's modernization. He is a wise king, who led Thailand's modernization, abolished slavery, established schools, built museums, and built railways ... The items displayed in the Temple of the Great Relic let us see Chulalonggong's course of learning advanced western civilization. Since Rama VI, Thais have had their own surnames. Rama VII, Thailand ended the absolute monarchy and became a constitutional monarchy. Referring to Rama VIII, the tour guide told a story. Thailand is a gem kingdom. Hager, the guard of the Grand Palace, wears jewels on his hands. Rama VIII studied in England when he was a prince. He likes to hold auctions. In England, he photographed a huge diamond named "Death Diamond", regardless of opposition, put the death diamond in the hands of hag, and the original gem was taken away. Strangely, the day before he ascended the throne, he died suddenly. Thais said that Long Mai Palace was destroyed. His younger brother is Rama IX who succeeded to the throne today. After King IX ascended the throne, he took down the diamond of death and returned it to Britain for free. However, due to Long Mai's destruction in the palace, he repeatedly asked the world feng shui masters to find a new site for the palace. Later, I met a master of Feng Shui in China (whose name I can't remember) and chose to build Jiuwang Temple as his palace. 1946 It has been 50 years since King bhumibol adulyadej IX ascended the throne. He is the longest-serving monarch in Thailand. For decades, Wang Shang has made immortal contributions to Thailand's democracy, freedom, prosperity and progress with his superhuman wisdom and indomitable perseverance. With firm determination, high enthusiasm and wide affinity, Wang Shang United people of all ethnic groups with different economic status, religious beliefs and ethnic backgrounds. He enjoys high prestige in the hearts of the Thai people and is by no means the "puppet" I once thought. But also won the Lifetime Achievement Award of Human Development of the United Nations Development Programme. He is also regarded as a great man by Thais. The Jade Buddha Temple in the Grand Palace is a symbol of Thailand. It is located in the northeast corner of the Grand Palace. It is one of Thailand's three national treasures. Jade Buddha Temple is a place where the Thai royal family worships jade Buddha and holds Buddhist ceremonies. Named after the jade Buddha enshrined in the temple. Interestingly, the Jade Buddha wears different robes in summer, rainy season and dry season. Every year when the seasons change, the king will personally change clothes for the Jade Buddha. There are monks in the temple. The tour guide said that you can't take photos with monks casually. I secretly took two pictures of monks. I feel very satisfied. This country, where almost everyone believes in Buddhism, is gentle and gentle, smiling, and very kind to meet monks. The buildings of the Grand Palace and the Jade Buddha Temple are rich in national colors and resplendent. Jewelry can be seen everywhere. Unfortunately, the tour guide said that many gems were stolen by foreign devils in those years. Only when the gems on high places are not available will they shine brilliantly. Now many places are inlaid with blue glass. The guide of the Grand Palace hates foreign devils. He is also from China. He told us that many precious cultural relics in British and French museums came from China, and they were plundered in those years. Speaking of the Grand Palace, Jade Buddha Temple and Temple of the Great Relic, the tour guide has repeatedly mentioned that foreign devils are hateful. Remember history. Teak Palace Teak Palace is the largest teak palace in the world, and it is the museum of Tai Huang royal photos and works of art. Unfortunately, you can't take pictures inside. Teak Palace was built under the order of King Chulalonggong V, and it is said that it was built for one of his beloved sons. Unfortunately, the prince died young. The palace is made of golden teak, and it was built without a nail. Teak has special oil, which is resistant to heat and rain. The pillars of the foundation piles are all square, which can prevent snakes. You must take off your shoes when you enter here, and you can't take pictures. Therefore, all kinds of artworks and cultural relics in it can only be kept in memory. In addition to its own national characteristics, the architectural style of the palace is also very European, which reproduces the scene of Emperor Chulalongkorn learning advanced western culture. There are many cultural relics in it, including their own precious stones, ivory products, beds, pure gold thrones, and weapons to fight against the Burmese; Porcelain from China, sewing machines, typewriters and pianos from the West; Precious photos of the royal family ... At that time, the royal family studied more in Europe, and many photos showed that Thailand entered modern civilization from King V.
