Known as the first poem in India

Ramayana is called the "first poem" of India. This ancient epic is a treasure house of Indian mythology and an inexhaustible source of Indian literary and artistic works in later generations. Its author is an ant (who lived from the fifth century BC to the second century BC). Ramayana means "Rama Parade". Ramayana, Rama Biography or Rama Biography, together with Mahabharata, are two great epics of ancient India, and they are also a great contribution of Indian people to world literature. It occupies a lofty position in the history of Indian literature and world literature. It may have been formed before the 5th century BC, and some people say that it was formed between the 4th century BC and the 2nd century AD. The author is Yasumi.

The epic Rama Guna is smaller than Mahabharata. The whole poem is divided into seven chapters, with about 24,000 praises. However, it has a concentrated story and a smooth structure, which sets an example in theme, artistic techniques and even rhetorical metaphor skills. It is a pioneer of classical poets. Therefore, Ramayana is called "the original poem" by India, which sets a brilliant example for later long narrative poems and lays the foundation for the format. The main content of Ramayana is to describe the life story of the protagonist Rama and his wife Sida, which can be said to be an ode to the hero who overcame difficulties and violence. Today, Indians regard Ramayana and Mahabharata as inviolable classics, and regard them as guides for resolving religious, philosophical and moral disputes. So in India, Ramayana is a household name, known to all women and children. For more than 2000 years, women worship Sida as a typical wife and mother. Hundreds of millions of people worship Rama as a saint and model. When expressing greetings and blessings, people even shout "Rama, Rama". When two acquaintances meet, they also say "Rama, Rama", which means hello; When something should not happen, express surprise and say "Rama, Rama".

As for Hanuman, the monkey in the "epic", he is even more prostrate. There are many monkey temples in many places, especially in the north. These are closely related to Ramayana. Until today, people have been far away from that mythical era, but the story of Ramayana still affects people's lives, thoughts and culture. In many places, they either watch the drama performance of Ramayana or enjoy the related song and dance performances. They stay up all night, for several days, more than ten days, or even longer, and they linger. I don't know how tired they are.

Ramayana is not only deeply loved by the Indian people, but also deeply rooted in the hearts of the people and widely circulated, which has a great influence on the religious beliefs of the Indian people and even the world. For a long time, it has been translated into German, French, English, Russian and so on, which has had a great influence on the literature and people's thoughts in South and Southeast Asian countries.
