Has Chinese culture influenced Thailand?

There are more than 30 ethnic groups in Thailand. The Tai are the main ethnic group, accounting for 40% of the total population, and the rest are Lao, Chinese, Malay and other ethnic groups. Therefore, it has been influenced by Chinese culture since ancient times.

The architecture of Thailand is influenced by China. On many buildings, you will find Chinese carved beams and paintings, colorful porcelain and glazed tiles, and even pairs of stone lions and Guan Gong standing at the entrance of the building. It can be seen that Thailand and China have deep roots.

Banner painting is a traditional painting in Buddhist countries, and it is highly successful in Thailand, where Buddhism is prevalent. At present, this art form is almost lost in Thailand, and only 40 of them are preserved in museums or temples, and it is known as the country's "National Treasure" and is listed as a valuable and protected cultural heritage in Thailand. The artist here said that the Thai flags are mainly painted on hemp products, and the brushwork is heavy on color paintings, which are more gorgeous, and some of them have been blurred due to their age, but they look more charming.

It has similarities with Chinese thangkas, murals, and grottoes, and there is a relationship of origin, which proves that China and Thailand have a long history of cultural and artistic exchanges.

There is, of course, a lot more evidence of cultural influence.

However, in general, because Thailand itself has a relatively deep traditional culture, it has been relatively less affected than our neighboring countries such as North Korea, Japan, and Myanmar.

I went to Thailand this summer, and I was deeply impressed by the fact that there are many differences between culture and China. What touched me more deeply wasThey need to take off their hats, take off their sunglasses, take off their shoes, and make a wish after making a wishIf you are not a native and want to go to Thailand again, the price will be too great to pay back, and how can ordinary people with jobs have so much time and experience. It's okay to visit temples in Thailand, and it's okay to bow down, but try not to make a wish.

I signed up for a day trip to the Black, White and Blue Temple in Thailand, and the tour guide was very enthusiastic and told us a lot about Thai culture, as well as some customs of Thailand, and the character of Thai people. The tour guide talked to usIn Thailand, the status of monks is very high, even their parents have to bow down when they see them, in Thailand there is a big decision, you must be a monk for a period of time, this is what every boy must experience. The tour guide also told us that Thai people are very lazy, they will get off work at the specified time, and they will not work overtime if the work is not done, so it may take them a year or two to build a road of several kilometers, which is funny when you think about it.

In Thailand, each of them is very polite and pays more attention to the etiquette aspect. China is a big cultural country, and it also pays more attention to etiquette, but there are very few people who are polite. Whether you are staying in a hotel or taking a taxi, they Thai people will greet you politely and take the initiative to help you with your luggage.

Walking on the street, Thai people will smile at you, in China, when you meet strangers, you are busy and going their own way, and you don't feel as human as Thai people.

The most popular in Thailand are night markets, which are a unique culture in ThailandTheir night market is not opened very late at night, generally start setting up stalls at five or six o'clock in the afternoon, and then sell a lot of things, there are food and drink, as well as daily necessities and clothes and decorations, generally go to the night market will meet a lot of Chinese, you can also buy a lot of souvenirs, very cheap and cost-effective.

An example of the Thaiization of Chinese culture, in a sense, Chinese culture is an important driving force for the development of modern Thai culture, which affects all aspects of Thai culture. For example, the influence of Chinese culture on Thai culture in terms of religion is mainly that Mahayana Buddhism, which has obvious Chinese cultural characteristics, has a huge influence on Thai Buddhism, and the Chinese Guanyin and Thai Guanyin are both female images, and the image of Maitreya Buddha in China is also similar to the image of Maitreya Buddha in Thailand. The inclusiveness and richness of Chinese and Chinese dialect culture have also led to the continuous development and development of Thai Chinese vocabulary, some Thai words are similar to the pronunciation of Chinese Chinese, especially Xunsun is the same as Chaoshan dialect of Guangdong, China.

Chinese literature has also contributed to the development of Thai literature. While. However, the influence of Chinese culture on Thai culture is also reflected in daily life, folk customs and architecture.

Language and culture, court culture and traditional culture. 1. Language and culture: Thai is basically composed of monosyllabic words, which was created by the king of the Sukhor or Na Xiao Thai Dynasty, Lan Kham, in 1283 A.D. according to the Mon and Ji Mo scripts.

After 700 years of history, today's Thai language is composed of 44 consonants and 28 vowel letters. There are five tones, and they are divided into three types: secular language, royal language, and monk language.

2. Court culture: Court culture refers to painting, architecture, literature, drama and **. In the past, the court culture was mainly supported by the court and the nobility, and most of the works served with the influence of Buddhism, which was further integrated and developed to form a unique Thai culture.

3. Traditional culture: Traditional culture refers to customs related to agriculture and humanities, and the crafts used to make daily necessities. Buddhism has spread throughout Thailand for hundreds of years and has had a profound impact on the Thai people.

The temple became the center of the village and town, a place for people to receive education, hold awareness, and celebrate festivals.

The difference in Thailand: the use of food, diet, lifestyle, no nap, the hospital is as luxurious as a hotel, there is a difference in commuting time, interpersonal relationships, most of them believe in Buddhism, the reception is warm and smiling, the service is the first, and the health is better than China. There is a difference in the cultivation of godsons. Wait.

Chinese traditional culture has been completely lost, while Thai traditional culture has been well maintained.

Thailand has a strong ban on tobacco and alcohol, especially liquor, which is absolutely not allowed. Smoking is also among the banned, smoking is prohibited in public places, and violators will be punished very strongly.

Smoking is okay in public places in China but not in Thailand, and China can trample money under its feet but Thailand cannot.

Baijiu is not allowed in Thailand, but Chinese not only love baijiu very much, but also often drink it at various festival banquets or in daily life.

In Thailand, you are not allowed to wear revealing clothes to temples, but Chinese temples are not explicitly prohibited.

Liquor is not allowed in Thailand, and smoking is not allowed in public places in Thailand.

In Thailand, the scriptures should not be placed in a low place, because they think it will invite trouble.

In China you can slap someone on the head, but in Thailand you are not allowed to do this to anyone.

The ancestors of the Thai people are all in southern China, including Siamese, Lao and Chinese. Historically, due to the southward migration of nomadic peoples, the Han people fled to the south, squeezing the living space of the southern ethnic groups. The peoples of the south had to migrate further south.

The Thai people are close to the Zhuang, Buyi, Dai and other southern Chinese ethnic groups in terms of blood and language, and the Thais introduced Buddhism before the Han Chinese. Therefore, the customs of the Thai people are influenced by ancient India more than that of China. The migration of the Chinese (Han Chinese) to Thailand can be traced back to the Song Dynasty, but the large-scale migration was during the Ming Dynasty and later.

The first two ethnic groups in Thailand are the Siamese and Laotians, whose ancestors are the Baiyue people, who are widely distributed in southern China. Due to the proximity of the ancestors of the two, the language and customs are almost the same. Therefore, in order to unite the country, the Thai people collectively refer to the two ethnic groups as "Thai people".

This notion is also becoming increasingly accepted. Therefore, it is generally believed that there are only "Thai", "Chinese" and a small number of Malays in Thailand.

Vietnam, Korea, South Korea, and Japan were influenced by the ancient Central Plains (Han Chinese), but began to gradually "de-sinicize" a hundred years ago, and now there are less than 2,000 Chinese characters except for Japan. In other countries, almost only archaeologists learn Chinese characters. In recent years, as China has become stronger, some people have begun to learn Mandarin Chinese and Chinese characters, but not to the contrary.

I am a Ha who learns Thai Thai history has experienced 4 dynasties Sukhothai Dynasty, Ayutthaya Dynasty, Thonburi Dynasty, Bangkok Dynasty (to date), the era is not as profound as China's 5000 years of culture, but there are outstanding emperors in 4 dynasties such as King Sukhothai, King Na Lixuan, and the most famous Emperor Chula Longgong. The country is a monarchy, the Thai people respect their emperor very much, can not speak ill of the king, December 5 is the national day and the king's birthday every year, no one can insult or disrespect the king

It is polite for Thai people to fold their hands together and bow their heads every time they see them, and to raise their hands to their noses and bow their heads to the elders. The concept of hierarchy is more serious, and in Thailand people think that the feet are unclean, so women generally have to kneel diagonally so that their feet do not touch the ground. Now the situation in Thailand has largely stabilized, and King Bhumibol Adulyadej and King Rama IX have become kings.

The above is a summary of my study of Thailand, if you don't understand anything, you can ask me
