Treasure hunt begins in England

Chapter 873 Bali Island

"It's a good idea, at least in my opinion, it's a smart way not to classify it into the original jade circle, which can avoid some unnecessary competition and at the same time highlight its own characteristics through differentiated competition. "

After listening to Liang En's plan in Guatemala Jade, Joan nodded and said.In her opinion, competition is not a bad thing, but it is better to compete with opponents of the same level, rather than competing with referees or judging committees.

In other words, the current Guatemala jadeite industry is best not to compete on the track of Burmese jadeite that has been in business for many years, but to reopen the track as another kind of gemstone.

Now it seems that this plan is useful, at least after discussing with those jadeite merchants who control the market, those authoritative magazines will identify Guatemalan jadeite as a subspecies of jadeite.

There is no doubt that this is a very valuable recognition, and in order to obtain this recognition, what Liang En needs to do is to ensure that he will not sell any rough Guatemalan jade within ten years in China.

That is to say, in the next ten years, what they can sell is only a variety of jade jewelry, and they cannot sell the most core jade raw materials.

Of course, the other party also knew that this request was really embarrassing, so in addition to the official approval of this new type of jade, they would also provide a series of conveniences.

These conveniences include the convenience of setting up advertisements and publicity of jewelry stores, as well as some conveniences related to store opening or publicity and industrial operation.

Because they stood here for a long time before, they bought the necklace and a ring they saw before. Anyway, for them, it is not natural to buy one or two of this kind of jewelry worth only 2000 yuan. Count it.

This fruitful wandering can be regarded as a perfect end to this trip to China, but they did not return to Ireland, but changed their visas and went to Indonesia.

This is because they received an invitation from Nelson when they were packing their luggage at the hotel. He invited Liang En and the two of them to Bali for vacation, and by the way, started a treasure hunt that he had planned for a long time.

This kind of travel plus treasure hunting is what Liang En likes the most, especially Bali, a top travel destination that he has never been to, makes him very interested.

Of course, Joan also likes this destination very much, because she has never seen the sea in her short life before, so she is very interested in the sea now, so the two of them quickly made a decision to go to Bali to see .

There are many planes going to Bali. After all, this is a very good tourist attraction, so after ten hours of travel, the plane landed at Bali's Ngurah Rai International Airport.

"It feels hotter here than before in the capital of Sichuan." As soon as I got off the plane, Joan fanned herself to catch cold while saying, at the same time, she was glad that she didn't wear as much clothes as those tourists from northern China.

The weather in Shudu itself is the highest among all the capital cities in China, but the temperature here is even better, but this is also reasonable, after all, it is closer to the equator, so the natural temperature is not low.

Bali belongs to Indonesia, which is known as the country of thousands of islands. It is a small island located in the east of Java Island with an area of ​​5620 square kilometers. The tropical vegetation on the island is dense and it is a world-famous tourist island.

Most of the island of Bali is mountainous. The whole island has mountains and mountains. The terrain is high in the east and low in the west. The highest peak on the island is Mount Agung at an altitude of 3142 meters.

what is interesting is.Bali is the only region in Indonesia that believes in Hinduism. 80% of the people believe in Hinduism. At the same time, the local language is Balinese, and Indonesian and English are also spoken.

From a religious point of view, the number of Hindus in the world is not small, but they are often strictly bound to Indians, and there are very few believers of other ethnic groups.

After all, this religion and the caste system are firmly bound together, and this medieval-style central system is obviously incompatible with the current society.

That is to say, in areas where Hindus are the majority, the local population is also dominated by Indians. Therefore, apart from India, there are only a few small countries in the Caribbean where Hinduism is the majority.

The reason why these small countries believe in Hinduism is purely because the British colonists used Indian labor, which eventually led to the fact that the local population was dominated by Indians.

But Bali is an exception. As early as the 4th and 5th centuries, Hinduism was introduced from India to Java, Indonesia today. Around the 8th century, the king of East Java established a Hindu country in the south of Bali.

Prior to this, ancestor worship and animism dominated the spiritual world of the aborigines of Bali.When Hinduism was introduced to Bali, it gradually merged with the primitive religion of Bali, completing the process of Hinduism's localization in Bali.

Therefore, Hinduism on Bali is also called Balinese-Hinduism, which is quite different from Hinduism in India. For example, in addition to the three main gods of Hinduism, there is also the Buddhist Sakyamuni Buddha among the gods enshrined.

This arose because local animism added complexity to the Balinese Hindu spiritual system, and native gods and ancestral spirits were more important in everyday life than Indian gods.

The caste system of Balinese Hinduism is also different from that of India. Class relations are mainly handled in accordance with local traditions rather than Hindu religious rules. Contact between different castes is not strictly restricted, and there is no obvious discrimination.

On the other hand, Balinese believers do not advocate asceticism in the practice of believers, but pay more attention to meditation, yoga, good deeds and other series.Religious acts, and the most important of these acts is the worship of idols.

The believers will bathe, incense, make offerings, stare at and touch the statues of the gods. This series of behaviors are all regarded as effective ways to please the gods and pray for blessings on a daily basis.

At the same time, in terms of religious rituals, Balinese Hinduism inherits the rituals of the original Hinduism and Balinese native beliefs, and the details of the rituals are more abundant, and many rituals can no longer be found in Hinduism.

In the 16th century AD, the Majapahit Dynasty in Java was destroyed by the Mataram Dynasty, which believed in Christianity.A large number of Hindus fled from Java to relatively independent Bali in order to avoid the Japanese conquerors.

Most of these people were nobles and upper-class people, and they carried a lot of knowledge about religion with them. Their migration made Balinese-Hinduism further develop and prosper.

During the long colonial period that followed, the Dutch colonists also tried every means to keep Bali away from the influence of Java Island, preventing the early Indonesian national movement from spreading here, protecting Bali from being influenced by Indonesia, and continuing to inherit and develop its religious culture.

So at a time when religion is changing in almost all parts of the Indonesian archipelago.Bali became the last refuge of Hinduism and continues to this day.

For these reasons, the unique culture of Bali has created a variety of styles on the island, and it enjoys many nicknames after matching the tropical beauty, such as "Island of Gods", "Island of Devils", "Island of Paradise", "Island of Magic". Island", "Island of Flowers" and so on.
