Gesar is an ancient and mysterious cultural phenomenon. After more than 1000 years of training, it has formed the unique epic Gesar with its unique divine form. The folk in Zhiduo County claim to be the hometown of the heroine and peerless beauty of Gesar. The relics and stories about Gesar are all over the mountains and rivers of Zhiduo County, such as "Gesar grindstone", "Gesar horseshoe seal", "Zhumu horse circle", "legendary Tianran stone bridge", "sheep's foot seal, dog's paw seal and human's foot seal on the rocks of the stone bridge" seem to tell the world The story that happened here.

Basic introduction

Gesar is a legendary hero in Tibetan Folklore. Tibetans believe that he is the "son of God" who came to the world to subdue demons. According to his deeds, Tibetan people created the longest epic Gesar in the world. The remains and objects of Gesar and the people around him widely exist in all parts of the Qinghai Tibet Plateau. There are many Gesar relics in Tibet, Qinghai, Sichuan and other Tibetan areas. Dana temple, located in maiqu village, Jinisi Township, Nangqian County, Yushu Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture, Qinghai Province, is said to be Gesar's family temple.

"Dana temple is the national Temple of Ling state where Gesar is located. The first Yeba living Buddha who founded the temple was the national teacher of Ling state, and the next five Yeba Living Buddhas were all the National Teachers of Ling state." The living Buddha abin of Dana temple said that the temple preserved the Lingta group of Gesar and his 30 generals, as well as the shield and felt hat that Gesar used, as well as the helmets and armor fragments of his generals. The Tibetan Sutra written in gold and silver by Gesar's orders was regarded as the "treasure of the town" by the monks of Dana temple. It can be said that Dana temple is the Gesar of the whole Tibetan area Fengwu site is the heaviest, largest and most complete cultural relic site.

Every year, many believers come to the temple to pay homage. In addition to their religious belief, their respect for heroes is also one of the reasons why believers do not fear difficulties to come here to pay homage. Many of the scenes described in Gesar can be confirmed in reality, such as the birthplace of Gesar, the site of horse racing and other important sites have specific locations in reality. According to these sites, people can clearly depict the track of Gesar's life.

Clan origin

Many experts and scholars who study "Gesar" believe that Gesar is not a God, but a hero in Tibetan history. They have a convincing exposition of his time, residence, lineage, clan and descendants. In the era of Ling Gesar, Seda grassland was also under the jurisdiction of King Gesar. The residence of the eight tribes of seerba in Shangling is the hometown of seerba wubengdarya, the leader of the eight tribes of Shangling. The herdsmen of seta are the descendants of Gesar.

Judging from the clan origin of Gesar, it is mentioned in almost all Gesar that Dawang is the son of dongsenlun, the descendant of Dongre chaganbu of mubudong's family in the four primitive Tibetan castes. In the old times, the Seda pastoral area was known as Wasu Seda. In the Yongzheng period of the Qing Dynasty, it was called "Wasu Baota". Wasu was the family of the leader of Seda. Vasu was the first of the "Xiuqin" castes in the 18th National Congress of DUOKANG pastoral area, which also originated from mubudong. This is very clear in Amdo's history of politics and religion. Therefore, in the past, when the sekda preached to the outside world, they often liked to say: "we waxu people are the mubudong family, who have a long history of snow mountains and water. It's the snow of the world, not the frost of last night. Except the guru does not kowtow, except the tent door does not bow. Here we can see the origin of the Wasu caste and its status in the eighteen families. In view of this, it seems indisputable to say that vasuseda is the descendant of Gesar. Judging from the living conditions of lingguo, the famous scholar maurgai sangmudan said in a brief history of duomai: "in the area known as semogang in liugangzhong, there are shangchi, Zhongchi and xiaolingchi. Shanglingchi is located in the upper jinshajin valley of Kang District, where the officials of shougongri and mangzhu lived in Goukou, namely dongsenlun of Ling state; zhonglingchi is located in Dake area in the East; xialingchi is located in duokangmar valley. The lingchi mentioned here is the head of ten thousand households and the head of three ten thousand soldiers. ". In this way, the living areas of the young, middle and long tribes in lingguo are from top to bottom and from west to East. In addition, the same topic is also mentioned in the primitive six clans. The above-mentioned "Dake" is in Seda county.

Grassland legend

Maergou is located in banma County, Qinghai Province, adjacent to Seda. Another example is that master renzenima of fuzang said in the chapter of birth: "according to the agreement of the king and his ministers, the valleys of Ma, Zi, Du, Weng, Ni and Zha are the places where the general of Ling state will live.". Among them, Du, Se, Weng and Ni are all in Seda county. Therefore, the Gesar relics and beautiful legends on the Seda grassland are everywhere like the wind on the grassland.

According to King Gesar's biography "Ode to the region of Ling kingdom", there is a golden palace standing out from the rest of Hongyan. This is the residence of serbanibeng, one of the seven generals. Located in the southeast of Seda County, near the mountain and water, lush forest and rock peak, it is the residence of serbe nibondarya, the leader of the eight tribes of Shangling seerba. The Palace site is located in the northwest of the dam of Huoxi hydropower station. Now there is a pile of earth and stone with a height of more than 10 meters and a perimeter of 100 meters. Tiles have been found here in the past. This Palace site was identified by the late famous Gesar votsang master zhongdui nimajangxia before he was born. He said that general Nibang's grazing grassland was near Zhuri mountain in summer, and he moved to Huoxi Township in winter due to cold weather. Later, several Gesar scholars identified this site as the site of Nibang palace.

Historical legend

According to legend, King gezining was the mortal enemy of general nibun at that time. King zining lived in geduodai, Yuke, Daofu county. Once, King gezining sent troops to drive away the horses of general Nibang. After learning about it, nibun immediately organized the horse team of the eighth division of Shangling to pursue the horse robber. There was an arrow fight between the two sides in zongmai area. When Prince Dan, the general of Ling state, subdued the nine goats, the soul of King gezining, the ferocious nine goats made a big gap with their horns to form a small mountain pass in wengda town. After burying the sheep in the ground, Prince Dan drew a pagoda with an arrowhead to commemorate the victory of Ling Kingdom, which is still visible today. King Gesar's biography "chamendongzong" refers to this incident.

There were also four ministers living in the four corners of the country. The eastern minister Jitang Zhaxi raodeng is a native of wengda Town, and his residence site is near wengda Ji'er temple. The younger minister jiega'er, bamadanzhen, is a native of Xuri. Jiega'er is a clan of Xuri in the past, and there are many descendants of this clan today. The housing site of bamadanzhen is in the northwest of wengda Town, and some local farmers also hold sacrificial activities once a year, and collect earth and stone from the site There are many prayer flags on the pile.

It is said that senhuaduoji living Buddha of gasang temple in Xinlong County, which was dead before liberation, was the reincarnation of general Nibang. Once upon a time, when the living Buddha senhuaduoji passed by the nanshanliang of the site of sidanibeng palace, the rain was over and the sky was clear. The colorful flowers on the grassland were like shepherd girls sending songs in the dark, and they all showed up to peep at the beautiful sun. The Pinghu Lake in the memory of Senhua Duoji living Buddha is rippling, and suddenly reminds me of a past life. So he preached to the attendants, "my previous life lived in this area. Once when I came to the ridge, I saw Li Qiong Yuye Zhuoma, a beautiful girl in the mountain country, herding here. Her pure beauty was like a sharp milk bucket hook, which caught my soul deeply, so I couldn't help walking to her side and playing with her for a long time. Unexpectedly, I snatched her silver ring and hid it quietly Under the big stone. When we broke up, the ring was not returned to her. It was still hidden there, and I forgot about it later. Today, let's see if the ring is still there. As soon as the servants remove the stone, they find the ring It is said that the ring has been worn on the living Buddha ever since.

In March 1962, Sala cuozhi, the deceased vice chairman of the Political Consultative Conference of yuanseda County, went to Kangding for treatment. When he returned to the county, because the bus broke down, he stopped near the site of the great general's palace. Soon after the living Buddha got out of the car, an iron arrow fell from his hand. Dawa, who took care of him, was very surprised and asked what was the matter. The living Buddha said with a smile that it was the divine arrow of Yuema, Minister of the state of mountains. The arrow is still treasured in the living Buddha's home, and some Gesar experts and scholars have witnessed it with their own eyes. The length of the arrow is about one meter. The body of the arrow is made of bronze. The feather of the arrow is an ultra-thin metal sheet originally on the arrow. It is said that the original secret mantra on the arrow disappeared a few days later. This kind of Gesar excavation is also rare in the whole Tibetan area. In the 1970s, it was near the site of the palace of the great general of Nibang. During the first construction of Huoxi power station in Seda County, armor and sword made of iron ring were found in the rock, which were collected in the county cultural museum. In the 1980s, tuluo living Buddha, vice chairman of yuanseda County CPPCC and Gesar scholar, held a grand Gesar tobacco ceremony every year at the site of the Royal Palace, which gave new vitality to this long-standing legend, and also meant the re confirmation of the site of the royal palace. Not far from here, there is a mountain in nieke valley of Huoxi Township, which is called a Jia holy mountain by local people. They hold sacrificial activities to the mountain every year. It is said that this is the residence of general abenweiyepanda, the chief tribe of the Ling kingdom. At the foot of the mountain is the site of the Royal Palace, and the holy mountain is the back mountain of the palace of general a Ben, hence the name a Jia holy mountain.
