A term similar to the title of a movie or from a history textbook, in fact, its bizarre life and experience are far beyond the endurance of film. As the name implies, the Indo-China Peninsula lies between India and Chinese mainland. In a broad sense, it includes countries such as Vietnam, Cambodia, Laos, Thailand, Malaysia and Myanmar. In a narrow sense, it only refers to the territories of Vietnam, Cambodia and Laos. The mother who nurtured this area was the Mekong River. In the 1st century BC, in China's ancient books, the Mekong River nurtured the country of Fu Nan. Five centuries later, it was transformed into a real wax, followed by a competition between the hegemony of the heroes and the intervention of British and French colonial forces. The chaotic war history was written until the end of the 2th century. When the dust settled, the tourism power began to sprout, and the combative Indo-China Peninsula turned into a magnet for attracting foreign exchange for sightseeing. Vietnam, Cambodia, Laos and Myanmar each led the way with their abilities, showing their elegance different from other parts of the world.
Indo-China Peninsula has distinct dry and wet seasons throughout the year, belonging to the tropical monsoon region.
Hinduism and Buddhism prevail in Indochina Peninsula.
in the history of Indo-China Peninsula, the influence of Hinduism and Buddhism occupies a decisive position. My Son, a site of Champa dynasty, is located in the mountainous area southwest of Da Nang. During the 4th to 13th centuries, it was the religious and academic center of Champa dynasty in ancient Vietnam, and it was also the tomb of several Champa emperors. Besides Angkor Wat in Cambodia, this is also an important cultural heritage in the world.
My Son is a place name (transliteration). During the 4th to 6th century BC, Indian culture spread eastward to Indo-China Peninsula with trade, and it was also greatly influenced in Indo-China Peninsula's beliefs, politics, culture, art and social structure. At that time, the Champo Dynasty believed in Hinduism, and built colleges and temples in My Son, where learned and devout monks gathered. Hindu religious idols, sacred objects (lions and elephants) and traditional decorative patterns were portrayed and decorated on the building walls. Therefore, My Son site is the same as Angkor Wat in Cambodia, Bagan in Myanmar, Ayuthaya in Thailand and Borobudur in Java, Indonesia, and the architectural art forms are almost the same. Due to the close intermarriage between Champa dynasty and Java royal family, My Son site is more similar to Borobudur site in Java in architectural style.
My Son site is listed in the UNESCO World Cultural Heritage List, and it is also a well-known tourist attraction in central Vietnam at present. At present, there are only a few pagodas, walls and stone carvings left in My Son site, and there are 1 buildings, covering a vast area. These remaining architectural sites use red bricks and stones as building materials. Some pagodas have complete shapes, while others are dumped in piles, but the religious gods on the pagodas are faintly visible, and the god of destruction "Shiva" and the celestial dancer "Apsara" (. Decorative patterns of lions and elephant beasts can be seen on fallen walls and damaged pedestal of statues. In particular, the lion shape of Zhang Zhu's big mouth was made into the wall decoration of the water outlet, and the workmanship was exquisite. From small to large, it can be seen that the unique artistic culture of the Zhanpo people at that time once shone in the eastern part of Indo-China Peninsula, creating beautiful artistic achievements.
