Local characteristics of Kampot Ri Shenshan Mountain

Tibetan opera is closely related to religious legends, and the two major factions of Tibetan opera are white masks and blue masks. At present, the Ba Opera Troupe in Qiongjie, Shannan is a famous school of Tibetan opera with white masks, while the troupe in Angren County of Shigatse and the Juemulong Opera Troupe in Lhasa are schools of Tibetan opera with blue masks. With the continuous promotion of Tibetan opera originated in Shannan and other places in Tibetan areas, three systems have been formed: Wei Zang, Kangba and Amdo. Up to now, Tibetan opera has formed many traditional repertoires, including Princess Wencheng, Baima Wenba and Sujinima. Tibetan opera tracks adapted from some chapters of the famous Tibetan epic "Biography of King Gesar" have also been welcomed by the public. There are many kinds of masks in Tibetan opera, which have special meanings. Red is brought by the king, symbolizing majesty and fortitude; Green is brought by the princess, which means peace and suppleness; Living buddhas and immortals wear yellow masks to show good luck; The masks of informers and witches are half black and half white, which means that the black and white sides are upside down; In addition, there are a large number of ghost animals with unique masks. Whenever Tibetan opera is performed, there will be a circle of audience gathered around the square to watch the characters of various colors appear. For tourists, if they know a little about Tibetan legends and Tibetan Buddhist stories, I believe it won't be long before they can enter the theater. Tibetan costumes, hairstyles, customs, festivals and other cultures are deeply influenced by Tibetan opera. The national characteristics of costume performance teams active in Shannan are very distinct, and tourists can often enjoy them at cultural and material exchanges held in this area.

The highest point of Kampot Ri Shenshan is 4472 meters above sea level. On the mountainside at an altitude of 4,060 meters, there is the first cave in Tibet-Monkey Cave, which is a natural cave with a height of 2.5 meters and a width of 6.95 people. The rear is 0/5m away from the entrance/kloc-.

There are many masterpieces of predecessors on the wall of this natural cave. 0.96 meters away from the hole, there is a crack, and there is a monkey head shape at the crack. It is the earliest macaque combined with hooligans in legend and is said to be born. Although the legend is unfounded, it is also very interesting. Tourists and pilgrims have great respect for this. There is a colorful mural on the stone wall southeast of the cave. The content is calm macaques holding "Manza" and sitting calmly on peony flowers. The vivid pictures are really memorable. A portrait of a little monkey was painted nearby, which was lifelike and very cute. There are shallow stone tablets inside and outside the cave, and various stone carvings engraved with the "six-character mantra" and colorful Mani flags abound, which is a witness to the prosperity of incense in the cave. There is also a bunch of wild vines outside the cave, which is said to be the tree that monkeys picked and ate in those days. From the cigarette-wrapped caves and lifelike portraits to the wild vines outside the caves, it gives people a mysterious and quaint feeling.

The theory that "macaques become people" is not only painted with murals in Potala Palace and Norbulingka, but also recorded in many Tibetan history books. Such as Statistics of Kings in Tibet, mkas-pavi-dgav-ston and History of Bonism in Yongti. Only 1984 found stone axes used by Neolithic people in Wen Qu and Yadui areas near Zedang, and ash pits containing charcoal and pottery debris were also found at the foot of Gombrii Mountain. These precious things are at least 1000 years old. From this point of view, if "the macaque turned into a human" is just a legend, then there is good reason to say that this legend is a simple recollection of the historical footprints of ancient ancestors. Shannan region is obviously the birthplace of Tibetan civilization.
