How much gold is there in Potala Palace?
If you have been to Lhasa, you will find that no matter where you stand in Lhasa, as long as you raise your eyes, the sacred Potala Palace will come into your eyes. Because no matter where, other buildings are not as high as the Potala Palace, which is the respect of Tibetan compatriots for their beliefs.
Of course, many people may know why the Potala Palace was built. It was originally built by Songzan Gambo to marry Princess Wencheng, and it is a palace full of romance. However, after the baptism of war and history, the original romantic palace no longer exists, only the French King Cave and the Barbarakan (1300 years ago. The current Potala Palace was built and expanded by the Ming and Qing governments and the Dalai Lama in previous dynasties. It is not only a palace and castle, but also a mysterious Buddhist temple.
Judging from the current situation of Potala Palace, as the center of political, religious and cultural exchanges in the central government, the whole palace is becoming more and more beautiful, paying more and more attention to details in architecture and gradually highlighting nobility in layout. The reason why no one dares to steal the existing gold is because the storage area of gold is too narrow for ordinary people to touch, and the court nobles have their own things and dare not touch this forbidden area. In addition, the piety of Tibetans to religious beliefs also limits those who want to steal.
Let's look at modern circulation again. Does the existence of gold in Potala Palace make sense? We know that in today's society, it is issued by the national central bank by issuing paper money or minting coins. Traditional and valuable financial instruments such as gold are only used as investment or reserve means.
In fact, the application of gold is everywhere in every building of Potala Palace. The first thing to look at should be the roof. When you stand on a high place overlooking, the gold at the top of the palace stands out. It can be said that most roofing materials are made of gold, not just simple pigments.
Outside the roof, gold is also used for the gorgeous decoration of the palace. If you have been lucky enough to visit this palace, you can deeply appreciate its exquisiteness and attention to decoration. In addition to the above two places, the construction of Lingta and Buddha statue is also valuable in gold. For example, among the many pagodas in the palace, some cost thousands of pounds to build. Even the details and incense burners are made of related materials.
From this point of view, the consumption of 30 tons of gold claimed in historical materials is true. In addition, their origins have long been determined. For example, in order to live in harmony with Tubo people, emperors in history regularly gave quantitative to be no.1; In addition, this is also the contribution of Tibetans. Although the number is relatively small compared with the former, a small amount of accumulation makes up for a large amount. The construction of Potala Palace has also received the efforts of Tibetans.
In fact, the mandala of the Lama preserved in the golden body and palace is more precious than jadeite and agate gems. One of the most famous is Sakyamuni's relic. In short, Potala Palace is rich. When you come here, you can feel the money around you In fact, many precious ancient buildings have been handed down from generation to generation. Potala Palace has stood for hundreds of millions of years and has remained stable.
Although its appearance has been destroyed, its foundation has never wavered. For us, this is not just a historical story. Potala Palace is a witness of history and one of the most important cultural buildings in China. It represents the highest level of ancient architectural engineering technology in China and the peak of Buddhist culture development in China.
Conclusion: As a cultural heritage, Potala Palace should be paid more attention. We should strengthen the study and research on the inheritance and development of Tibetan culture, explore its deeper significance and value, and make more efforts and painstaking efforts to protect these cultural heritages.
In short, although rumors sometimes arouse people's curiosity, in most cases, they are still exaggerated and misleading. It is said that the treasure of Potala Palace is not so mysterious and huge, and there are not so many gold reserves. We should treat these rumors with an objective, rational and scientific attitude and attach importance to the protection of cultural heritage in order to better inherit and develop the world cultural heritage.
