brief introduction

Gongburi mountain has three peaks, the first is yanggawuzi, the second is senmuwuzi, and the third is zhukangzi. The three peaks are connected by caves. Gongburi mountain is a holy mountain. Different from other holy mountains all over Tibet, the God of gongburi mountain lies not in the fact that it is the place where the mountain god lives, but in its supernatural power of predicting the future. You can know everything on this mountain.

It is said that it is supported by four gods, the horse king in the East, the god statue in the west, the peacock in the north, and the turtle in the south. They hold the mountain in the air, a large section away from the sky and the ground. Therefore, only those who are sincere and blessed can climb the mountain, see the fairyland, and predict the ups and downs of their lives. In those years, the male and female protagonists of rhesus monkey changed into human beings lived in senmuwuzi and yanggawuzi. Zhukangzi was the place where Bodhisattva practiced. Monkey King and luochanu were married under the guidance of Bodhisattva. There is a large area of Bazi in front of gongburi mountain. It is said that it is a place where monkeys play, so the place is named Zedang. There are still a large number of temples in this mountain.

Local characteristics

Tibetan Opera is closely related to religious legends, and the two major factions of Tibetan opera are white mask and blue mask. Nowadays, the Ba Opera Troupe in qiongjie, Shannan is a famous white mask Tibetan Opera Troupe, while the troupe in ANGREN County, Shigatse and juemulong Opera Troupe in Lhasa are blue mask Tibetan opera troupes. Tibetan opera originated from Shannan and other places has been popularized in Tibetan areas, forming three systems: Wei Zang, Kangba and Anduo. The development of Tibetan opera has formed a lot of traditional repertoire, mainly including Princess Wencheng, Baima Wenba, sujinima, etc. the repertoire of Tibetan Opera adapted from part of the famous Tibetan epic "the biography of King Gesar" has also been welcomed by the public. There are various masks in Tibetan opera, each of which has its own special meaning. Red is the king's belt, which symbolizes majesty and strength; green is the princess's belt, which means peace and softness; Living Buddhas and immortals wear yellow masks to indicate good luck; the whistleblowers and witches' masks are half black and half white, which means to confuse black and white on both sides; in addition, there are a large number of ghosts and animals with unique faces. Every time a Tibetan Opera is performed, a circle of audience will gather around the square to watch the various characters appear. For tourists, if they have a little knowledge of Tibetan legends and Tibetan Buddhist stories, they will soon enter the opera. Tibetan opera has a deep influence on Tibetan culture, such as clothing, hairstyles, customs and festivals. Nowadays, the costume performance team in Shannan has distinctive national characteristics, which can be enjoyed by tourists at the cultural and material exchange meetings held in the area.

The highest part of Mt. gongburi is 4472 meters above sea level. On the hillside of 4060 meters above sea level, there is the first cave in Tibet, monkey cave. It is a naturally formed cave, 2.5 meters high and 6.95 meters wide. The rear part is 15 meters away from the cave entrance.

There are many masterpieces of predecessors on the wall of this natural cave. There is a crack 0.96 meters away from the entrance of the cave. There is a monkey's head at the crack. It is said that it is the first macaque to combine with Luo Chanv in legend. It is said that it appears naturally. Although the legend has no basis, it is also very interesting. The pilgrims respect it very much. There is a color mural on the southeast wall of the cave. The content of the mural is that the macaque holding "Manza" calmly sits on the peony. The vivid picture really makes people reverie. There is also a picture of monkey near it, which is vivid and lifelike, very cute. Inside and outside the cave, there are shallow carved stone slabs, various stone inscriptions with "six character words" and colorful mani flags everywhere, which are the witness of the vigorous fragrance of the cave. There is also a clump of wild grapevine outside the cave, which is also said to be the tree picked by monkeys in those years. From the cigarette shrouded cave, vivid pictures, to the wild grapevine outside the cave, it gives people a mysterious and simple feeling.

There are murals in Potala Palace, loprinka and other places, as well as records in many books of Tibetan history. Such as statistics of the king of Tibet, wedding banquet of the sage, history of Bon religion in yongti, etc. In 1984 alone, stone axes used by Neolithic people were successively found in Wenqu and yadui areas near Zedang. At the foot of gongburi mountain, ash pits containing charcoal and pottery fragments were also found. These precious objects have a history of at least one thousand years. In this way, if we say that "macaque changed into human" is just a legend, then there is ample reason to say that this kind of legend is just a simple recollection of people's historical footprints of ancient ancestors. Shannan is obviously the birthplace of Tibetan civilization.

It is said that the Bodhisattva of zhukangzi was used as a matchmaker to make macaques and Luocha women combine and reproduce, and gave birth to six little monkeys. Later, there were more and more monkeys, but the fruits in the forest were less and less, and the monkeys were in danger of dying of hunger. The Bodhisattva of zhukangzi took the natural grain seeds from Xumi mountain and scattered them on a piece of land near Zedang, sodang. From then on, the monkeys got enough food and learned to grow. Labor gradually turned monkeys into human beings, that is, the ancestors of the snow region. The hillside of gongburi mountain is monkey cave, which is the cave where Mihou and luochanu lived at that time.

It goes through the vicissitudes of life in silence, reads countless spring and Autumn Annals, and is accompanied by countless beautiful legends.

As long as we sincerely worship the Buddha, the blessed people will see the fairyland on the mountain, and from the scenery we can see the misfortunes and blessings of life.
