Bayeux culture in Bayeux Sutra

Buddhist temples in Dai areas of China have a long tradition of preserving Bayeux documents. The source of literature is carved by the Buddha himself, and the other is the scriptures or scriptures offered by secular beings. As the activities of offering Buddhist scriptures and books have become a common practice among the people, the Baye Sutra contains stories and legends of Hinduism, which are contrary to Buddhism and involve the primitive beliefs of the Dai people. Therefore, Bayeux sutra has become a gathering place of various cultural knowledge and ideas in Dai society, which has also influenced the content composition of Bayeux literature. In addition to the centralized collection of Bayeux sutra in Buddhist temples, there are also various Bayeux documents in Dai secular folk, so Bayeux culture has become the representative and symbol of Dai culture from Buddhist temples to folk.

Bayleaf culture is a symbolic expression of Dai traditional culture. It is called "Bayeux culture" because it is preserved in Bayeux scriptures made by Bayeux. Bayleaf culture includes Bayleaf Sutra, Cotton Paper Sutra and folk Dai traditional cultural events.

Feature carrier

Bayleaf Classic is the oldest and core part of Bayleaf culture, the main carrier of Bayleaf culture and the root of Dai culture. For more than 1000 years, Dai literati, who do not seek fame and fortune, have tirelessly carved words on the leaves of Bayeux with iron pens, silently dedicating their wisdom and talent. Generation after generation, among them, no one left a name in his own engraving, but left endless wisdom and spiritual wealth to future generations, which gathered into a vast sea of Bayeux classics and created a profound Bayeux culture. Therefore, the rich Bayeux sutra has become an encyclopedia of Dai society, forming a unique local national culture.

cultural diversity

Bayeux sutra is a special phenomenon with "multicultural" factors. In addition, the Dai themselves absorbed and integrated the nutrition of Chinese culture (Central Plains culture) and brewed the cultural atmosphere of Bayeux. It is precisely because of this feature that the Bayeux Sutra is unique in the world human history and culture, showing its influence and value.

Rare in the world

Tang Priest retrieved the Bayeux Sutra that year.

The Bayeux Sutra originated in India. The ancient Indians collected the leaves of Bedolo tree and used them to write Buddhist scriptures. Xuanzang, a monk in the Tang Dynasty, went to the West to learn from the scriptures and brought back the Bayeux Sutra. Myrica rubra leaves are wearable and light, and the handwriting can still be clearly recognized after thousands of years.

In India, the early version of the Bayeux Sutra has almost been lost. It is also quite rare in China. Xuanzang brought back 657 volumes of Bayeux sutra from India and translated Buddhist sutras in Chang 'an. These bay leaves are still treasured in the Big Wild Goose Pagoda.

There are few Bayeux sutras circulating in other parts of China, and only a few versions are available in Zhenping Bordet Collection, Xi 'an Big Wild Goose Pagoda, Emei Mountain, Putuo Mountain and China National Museum. Bayeux leaf sutra has been designated as a national first-class cultural relic.
