China's envoy arrived in Huangzhiguo through the Maritime Silk Road, which is now a famous tourist city in South India.

There are seven holy cities in Hinduism, from north to south, namely Khaledwa, mathura, Ayodhya, varanasi, varanasi, Ujain, De Valacca, GanGiboulot, Bubanaswar and madurai.

Get up at six in the morning. Chennai people are still sleeping, and the streets are quiet and leisurely, sweeping away the noise of the day. The tricycle driver was sleepy, so I woke him up and asked him to drive me to the railway station, because I was going to the southernmost Hindu holy land Gan Giboulot.

Although it is the fourth largest city in India, it is also a transportation hub. Compared with Calcutta, Chennai is much more orderly. This can be seen from Egmore Railway Station. Of course, Chennai itself has a much smaller population.

Too many trains will inevitably sum up some experience. For example, if you want to consult the platform and train number, you must consult the window or information center of the station; After finding the platform, confirm with the local passengers to be foolproof. The police's answer is the most unreliable, because they are not familiar with the situation of the station, but they have the "virtue" shared by Indians. Whether they know it or not, they will give the answer. As for right or wrong, they don't care. Even if you are sweating all over and then bump into him, he is as cool as a cucumber. Of course, we can't generalize. Once I met a policeman in charge and took me directly to the platform.

The interior of the country train bound for Ganji bloem is a bit like a ferry, with no doors and two rows of fans hanging from the top. There are not many passengers, and you can basically find a seat. There seems to be no gap between us, and the atmosphere is relaxed and happy.

Gan Giboulot is the holy city of Hinduism, located 70km southwest of Chennai. The train left Chennai and crossed the field. Coconut trees lined up like guards, and green waves came in. China people have many mythical descriptions of Indian trains, and the most commonly used word is "open". But I've never seen anyone climb the roof. If so, I'm afraid this train is the most suitable, because the speed is only 30 kilometers per hour. Even I can "open the door", hang my body on the open door and take selfies on the Mercedes-Benz train.

I always feel that the villages in South India are still in the primitive natural state, at least there is no cluster agricultural production, and they are real pastoral. We need to think seriously about agriculture and population, rural areas and cities. The development of agricultural technology has doubled the grain output and improved people's living standards, but it also faces the problems of food safety and land overload. Although the original ecological agricultural products are safe, they cannot meet the needs of the rapidly growing population. Therefore, how to balance the contradiction between the two, not to make remote rural areas barren, and properly restore the small-scale peasant economy is what the agricultural sector should worry about.

After more than two hours, the train arrived at Gan Giboulot Mudong Station on the north bank of Palar River. I was dumbfounded when I got off the bus with my luggage. I thought it was a big station. You can leave your luggage before going out to play. As a result, the station is like a makeshift shack, and there is no place to store luggage. I even thought I got off the wrong bus and took out my mobile phone to locate it. Almost in the city center, which is obviously correct.

Yes, this is Ganji bloem, one of the seven holy cities of Hinduism. In the myth of Mahabharata, Gan Giboulot is the city of Dravidians. According to legend, the name of the city "Kanchi" comes from Brahma's "Anchi" to Shiva, and "blom" means town, that is, the place where Shiva is worshipped, which is obviously a "city with faith". In Sanskrit, "kanci" means "belt", which means "this city is like the belt of the earth." Among the 108 temples dedicated by Indians to Vishnu, 14 is located in blom, Ganji, which is a veritable "Huang Jincheng Temple" and was described as "a good city in the city" by the Sanskrit poet Kalidathu in the 4th century.

Ganji bloem's written history can be traced back to at least the third century BC. After the Hundred Riding Dynasty, Gan Giboulot was ruled by Palavas, Choulas, Pandia, Vijayanagara, Canati and the British respectively. Once the cultural center of Buddhism and Jainism, it has been the capital of Palava dynasty, the educational center and "learning holy land" of Tamils from the middle of 4th century to the 9th century. It is the holy city of Hinduism after varanasi, and is called "Belenas in the South".

Palawa people originated from the Gupta dynasty in the north, rose after the decline of Baicheng dynasty, and ruled Telugu and northern Tamil areas for more than 600 years. Palawa dynasty fought against Charukya dynasty in northern Badami, Shiluo dynasty in southern Tamil and Pandia dynasty for years. It reached its peak in the 7th and 8th centuries and became a powerful country in South India. It declined at the end of the 9th century and was defeated by the rising Ten-Luo Empire.

"History of Han Geography" records: "I have been sailing in Lu for more than two months, and there is Huang Zhiguo, whose folk customs are slightly like Zhu Ya. Its state is vast, with many hukou and many foreign objects. It has been presented since Emperor Wu ... Huang Zhinan has already left the country, and Chinese-English translation has been returned since then. " "Huang Zhi" may have originated from "Kanchi", that is, today's Ganji bloem "I am not at home" is today's Sri Lanka. I didn't know how to translate it into this at that time. I didn't find any more information.

Xuanzang, the Tang Priest, said, "The country is more than 1,000 Li on Saturday, and it will be built in imperial academy to fill Luo, and it will be more than 30 Li on Sunday. The land is fertile, the crops are abundant, the flowers and fruits are abundant, and treasures are produced. Warm summer atmosphere, brave customs. Deeply righteous, noble and knowledgeable, but the language is not much different from that of China and India. There are more than 100 schools in Galand, and10,000 monks and nuns all follow the attendance method. There are more than 80 temples in the sky, many of which are exposed. " Another cloud said, "Jianzhi City is the mouth of the South China Sea in India, and it takes three days to get to Sinhala by water. If you don't go, the king will die and the country will be hungry. " Kingboro is Gan Giboulot, and Sinhala is now Sri Lanka. Xuanzang didn't go to Sri Lanka because it happened that the monks fled to the city under construction because of the internal chaos in Sinhalese.

According to the data, the prosperity of Gan Giboulot around the 7th century A.D. was the heyday of Palava dynasty. They left magnificent buildings and sculptures for later generations, and clearly described the cultural heritage of Dalopita created by Vishnu and Shiva believers. It is said that in the golden age of Gan Giboulot, there were more than 1000 monasteries, and there are still more than 200 today. Parawa's most famous architectural heritage is the seaside temple, which is the foundation of architectural art in South India .. Parawa characters created by Parawa people are also the ancestors of Southeast Asian characters.

Today, Gan Giboulot is a busy and modern Indian town, with thousands of home textile workshops, famous for handmade silk products and saris, and known as India's "Silk Paradise".
