At the annual temple fair in India, artists recite the ancient poem Mahabharata. Because it is so long, the artist can only recite the wonderful pieces, and the audience is often moved to tears.
This ancient poem is the famous Mahabharata. "Mahabharata" means "the story of the great Brahmacharya" and is said to have been written by the great sage Vishnu of Indian legend. The poem is more than 200,000 lines long, equivalent to 8 times homer's epic, and is the longest epic in the world.
Mahabharata
The Mahabharata tells the story of two ancient Indian families who fought each other to turn their backs on each other. Legend has it that there was a kingdom in ancient India, and the king was called Zhiguo, who was a blind man, so the major affairs of the country were presided over by his brother Pandu. The state has 100 sons, and they form a family called the Julu clan, and the prince is the head of the family. Bandu had 5 sons and also formed a family called the Bando clan.
Bandu's five sons were all highly skilled in martial arts and were jealous of the Julu clan. After The death of Bandu, the Julu and Bandu clans fought for the throne. In order to ascend to the throne, the crown prince plotted to kill the five brothers of the Bando clan. Once, the prince said to the five brothers, "My dearest five brothers, the Father and the King have built a house in a pure place, and you shall move there from today onwards." The five brothers did not know that this was a conspiracy and happily agreed. Where did they know that the house was made of flammable gum! When the five brothers moved in, the prince immediately ordered the house to be set on fire. In an instant, the smoke billowed from the house, burning with flames, and in a short while it burned to ashes. The prince laughed triumphantly, thinking that as long as the five brothers were burned to death, the throne would be at his fingertips.
The Julu people
A few years later, a grand celebration was held in the kingdom, and the old king accepted the courtesy of his courtiers and foreign envoys. At this time, the court official reported that the five horses of the king of Panguo had come to see him, and the old king ordered them to visit. When they came to the main hall, everyone was stunned, it turned out to be the five brothers of the Pandao Clan!
The prince was even more surprised, weren't they burned to death? How did he become a donkey of the Pan kingdom? It turned out that when the prince sent someone to burn the gum house, someone secretly told the five brothers about the prince's plot. The five brothers hurriedly escaped from the tunnel to escape the great trouble. They fled to a forest, ate and slept in the wind, and finally came to Panguo. At this time, the princess of Panguo was competing for relatives, and the princes and nobles of many countries on the Indian Peninsula came. The king of Panguo pointed to a bow and said, "Whoever of you can pull this bow open and shoot the target will be able to marry the princess." Many people rushed forward, but none of them could pull the bow. Finally, one of the five brothers stepped forward and said, "Let me try!" He pulled hard, the bow like a full moon, a release of his hand, and the arrow like a meteor, right in the eye of the bullseye swirling fish.

The audience applauded thunderously, and the princess herself put the flower crown on his head. According to the custom of the Pan Kingdom, the princess married five brothers at the same time. Pan Guo was powerful, and the five brothers took this as their backing and returned to He Guoxingshi with their heads held high to ask for guilt. The king of the kingdom had no choice but to agree to give them half of the land. Because the prince obstructed him, the five brothers were given only a large piece of barren land. Later, the prince did not even want to give them these desolate lands, so he proposed to roll the dice, and if anyone lost, they would be exiled for 12 years, and in the 13th year, they could not be recognized by others, so as to get half of the land. The five brothers had no choice but to agree, but they lost, so they hid in the forest for 12 years, and the five brothers disguised themselves and went to work in the palace of another country. A year later, they sent emissaries to the kingdom of He, demanding half of the country, but the prince rudely refused.
The five brothers really couldn't bear it, and they united many countries to attack the country. Not to be outdone, the princely realm united many countries to face the battle, and the entire Indian peninsula was in a shadow of swords and swords. The fierce battle lasted for 18 days, and the prince was defeated, and all 99 of his brothers were killed. The prince fled alone, and the five brothers were in hot pursuit. While running, suddenly a large lake appeared in front of him, and the prince hesitated slightly and jumped into the lake. The five brothers chased to the lake and looked around for the prince. Suddenly they found a reed pipe on the surface of the lake, and it turned out that the prince was hiding at the bottom of the lake, using the reed pipe to breathe. The five brothers insulted the prince with harsh and harsh language, and the prince really couldn't stand it, so he jumped out and dueled with them, and was killed.
Generality
Determined to avenge the crown prince, the Warriors of the Julu Clan launched a sneak attack at night while the Warriors of the Bando Clan were asleep, killing them all, and only the five brothers escaped. The next day, the five brothers felt extremely sad when they saw the corpses and bones on the battlefield and the blood flowing like rivers, and decided to make peace with the Julu clan, and the two clans finally turned into jade.
The Mahabharata broadly reflects the lives of people of all walks of life in ancient India and has been hailed as the "encyclopedia of ancient Indian society."
