内容概要

King Gesar is an epic from Tibet based on Tibetan folk tales, legends, folk songs and proverbs. Representing the highest achievement of ancient Tibetan culture, it has been in circulation for centuries. It is an encyclopedia-like masterpiece reflecting the history of the ancient Tibetan society.    Compared with the world's Other famous heroic epics, King Gesar has two outstanding characteristics.    First, it has been passed down orally and musically from one generation to the next. Even today the epic is still widespread among the Tibetan people,especially among farmers and herdsmen. It is a "living" heroic epic and belongs to the Tibetan cultural heritage.    Second, it is the longest heroic epic in the world. It is an immense work,with more than 1 million verses, which would fill 120-plus volumes if written down.    The State of Ling generally refers to the ancient Tibetan-inhabited areas. In the light of its structural order, we selected the high spot of this epic to entertain readers at home and abroad. We hope our readers, through reading King Gesar, will get to know and love both this great epic and the Tibetan culture.

章节摘录

插图：One day after the Dragon daughter had finished her meal she went to the lake for a walk.q-he clear lake water was calm and peaceful. She scooped up some water and drank it. Looking at her reflection in the lake she was reminded that three years had passed since she had left the Dragon Palace. Me to Nat se could not help missing her parents and the beautiful Dragon Palace. Her eyes filled with tears and as the tears fell into the lake they turned into pearls, The pearls sank to the bottom of the lake. On seeing this the Drag on King, Chona Rin chin, turned into a blue-faced man on a blue horse and came to see his daughter. He tried to explain what was happening:"My daughter, do not blame anyone. Do not think that because you are here all alone neither your mother nor I or the grand master do not care about you. Do not think that your mother and I do not miss you. Everyone has their own destiny."The Dragon King took out a Good Wish Pearl and spoke to Me to Nat se:"My daughter, do not blame your father the king. This is your destiny. You are now living with a happy family. Chatsa Shigar treats you as his real mother. Later on you will have your own son. I give you a Good Wish Pearl. You will get whatever you wish.Remember: always keep the pearl by your side before your son is born." After saying this,the Dragon King went into the water and disappeared.The Dragon daughter felt warm and comfortable with the Good Wish Pearl in her hand. She then fell into a deep sleep.   A white cloud came from the southwest. A deity was standing on the cloud. He came to Me to Nat se and placed a five-pointed golden Diamond Club on her head:"Woman of good fortune, I never left you. It is time for you to bring good to the people in Tibet.""The deity then said: "Remember: the eighth day of the third month this year is the time for the son of the deities to be reborn. He is the ferocious god that will subjugate allevil spirits. He will be the king of the black-haired Tibetans.""Also, remember that when the son of the deities is born, you need to apply long life liquid on his upper jaw. He must use the top of his head to eat when he has food for the first time. Meanwhile, Deity Paml ha should be worshiped. "Ibis fierce god will help him to dress up for the first time. He should worship the Heavens before he fights with anyenemies. You must always bear in mind what I have said."
