افتراضي حقيقة طريق الحرير .



[IMG][URL="http://up1.m5zn.com"]

طريق الحرير هي مجموعة من الطرق المترابطة كانت تسلكها القوافل والسفن وتمرّ عبر جنوب آسيا رابطةً تشآن (والتي كانت تعرف بتشانغ آن) في الصين مع أنطاكية في سوريا بالإضافة إلى مواقع أخرى. كان تأثيرها يمتد حتى كوريا واليابان. أخذ مصطلح طريق الحرير من الألمانية (زايدنشتراسه Seidenstraße)، حيث أطلقه عليه الجغرافي الألماني فريديناند فون ريتشتهوفن في القرن التاسع عشر.

كان لطريق الحرير تأثير كبير على ازدهار كثير من الحضارات القديمة كالحضارة المصرية والصينية والهندية والرومانية حتى أنها أرست القواعد للعصر الحديث. يمتد طريق الحرير من المراكز التجارية في شمال الصين حيث ينقسم إلى فرعين شمالي وجنوبي. يمرّ الفرع الشمالي من منطقة بلغار-كيبتشاك وعبر شرق أوروبا وشبه جزيرة القرم وحتى البحر الأسود وبحر مرمرة والبلقان ووصولاً بالبندقية. أمّا الفرع الجنوبي فيمرّ من تركستان وخراسان وعبر بلاد ما بين النهرين و كردستان والأناضول ومن ثمّ في أنطاكية إلى البحر الأبيض المتوسط أو عبر بلاد الشام إلى مصر وشمال أفريقيا

حقايق عن سمرقند :
________________
الموقع الجغرافى
----------------
تقع مدينة "سمرقند" في آسيا الوسطى، في بلاد . ـ وأصل الاسم "شمرأبوكرب"، ثم حُرِّف الاسم إلى "شمركنت" ثم عُرِبت إلى "سمرقند"، ومعناها وجه الأرض. ـ وقد وصفها "ابن بطوطة" بقوله: " إنها من أكبر المدن وأحسنها وأتمها جمالا، مبنية على شاطىء وادٍ يعرف بوادى القصَّارين، وكانت تضم قصورًا عظيمة، وعمارة تُنْبِئ عن هِمَم أهلها ".


تاريخ سمرقند
---------------
ـ في سنة (87هـ ـ 705 م) تم الفتح الإسلامى لمدينة " سمرقند" على يد القائد المسلم" قتيبة بن مسلم الباهلى" ثم أعاد فتحها مرة أخرى سنة (92هـ ـ 710م).. ـ وبعد الفتح الإسلامى قام المسلمون بتحويل عدد من المعابد إلى مساجد لتأدية الصلاة، وتعليم الدين الإسلامى لأهل البلاد. ـ وفى بداية الغزو المغولى للمدينة ؛ قام "المغول" بتدمير معظم العمائر الإسلامية، وبعد ذلك اتجه "المغول" أنفسهم بعد اعتناق الإسلام إلى تشييد العديد من العمائر الإسلامية، خاصة في العهد التيمورى، وذلك على مدى (150) عامًا هى فترة حكمهم لبلاد ما وراء النهر من (617هـ ـ 1220م) إلى عام (772هـ ـ 1670 م). ـ وقد اتخذ "تيمورلنك" "سمرقند" عاصمة لملكه، ونقل إليها الصُنَّاع وأرباب الحرف لينهضوا بها فنيًا وعمرانيًا، فكان عصر "تيمور لنك" بحق عصر التشييد والعمران. ـ وفى القرن (19م) استولى الجيش الروسى على بلاد ما وراء النهر ومنها مدينة "سمرقند". ـ وفى سنة (1918 م) بعد قيام الثورة الشيوعية في روسيا استولى الثوار على مدينة "سمرقند" وظلت تحت سيطرتهم إلى أن سقطت الشيوعية في عام (1992 م). ـ وقد نالت "سمرقند" الاستقلال ضمن الجمهوريات الإسلامية بعد سقوط ما كان يسمى بالاتحاد السوفيتى.





أهم آثار ومعالم سمرقند
--------------------------
ـ اشتهرت "سمرقند" بكثرة القصور التى شيدها "تيمورلنك" ومنها: ـ قصر دلكشا (القصر الصيفى) ؛ وقد تميَّز بمدخله المرتفع المزدان بالآجر الأزرق والمُذَّهب، وكان يشتمل على ثلاث ساحات بكل ساحة فسقيه. ـ قصر باغ بهشت (روضة الجنة) ، شُيِّد بأكمله من الرخام الأبيض المجلوب من "تبريز" فوق ربوة عالية، وكان يحيط به خندق عميق ملىء بالماء، وعليه قناطر تصل بينه وبين المنتزه. ـ قصر باغ جناران (روضة الحور)، عرف هذا القصر بهذا الاسم لأنه كانت تحوطه طرق جميلة يقوم شجر الحور على جوانبها، وكان ذا تخطيط متقاطع متعامد. ـ مدرسة بيبى خانيم ؛ تميز تخطيط هذا الأثر اعتمد على صحن أوسط مكشوف، وأربعة إيوانات. ـ مدرسة وخانقاه وضريح الأمير تيمورلنك: شيد هذا المجمع الدينى قبل عام (807هـ ـ 1405 م) المهندس الأصفهانى "محمد بن محمود البنا". ـ ميدان داجستان ؛ بدأ تكوين هذا الميدان في عهد "تيمورلنك" وكان يقوم بعرض فتوحاته في هذا الميدان. ـ ومن أهم أعلام سمرقند: "محمد بن عدى بن الفضل أبوصالح السمرقندى" توفى سنة (444هـ) و"أحمد بن عمر الأشعث أبوبكر السمرقندى" كان يكتب المصاحف من حفظه، وتوفى سنة (489هـ)، و"أبومنصور محمد ابن أحمد السمرقندى"، فقيه حنفى له كتاب "تحفة الفقهاء".

حقايق عن قسطنطينية :
__________________

[IMG][URL="http://up1.m5zn.com"]
القسطنطينية عاصمة الأمبراطورية الرومانية خلال الفترة من 330 إلى 395 وعاصمة الدولة البيزنطية من 395 إلى 1453 حين أستولى عليها العثمانيون فدخل محمد الفاتح القسطنطينية، وأطلق عليها (إسلام بول)او الآستانة و بدخوله صارت المدينة عاصمة السلطنة العثمانية. غير أسمها في عام 1930 إلى أسطنبول ضمن أصلاحات أتاتورك القومية


تاريخها
--------
اسست عام 658 ق.م. وكانت من قبل قرية للصيادين . و تعرف باسم بيزنطة وفي عام 335 م جعلها الإمبراطور قسطنطين عاصمة للإمبراطورية الرومانية الشرقية (الإمبراطورية البيزنطية ) وأصبح يطلق عليها القسطنطينية على اسم الإمبراطور قسطنطين مؤسس الإمبراطورية وكان بها مقر بطريركية الكنيسة الإرثوذكسية الشرقية كنيسة آيا صوفيا . و كان محمد الفاتح العثماني قد فتحها عام 1453م . ثم أطلق عليها العثمانيون الآستانة . وحاليا يطلق عليها إستانبول.

تراجعت أحوالها اثر وفاة الامبراطور جوستنيان العظيم. و فقدت الكثير من مناعتها جراء الحملة الصليبية الرابعة التي انهكت دفاعاتها. فالمدينة لم تستطع في مئتي عام ان تتعافى من سبي اللاتين أهلها وحرقهم بيوتها ومبانيها وساحاتها. واذا كان الانشقاق الكبير ما بين الكنيستين قد حصل عام 1054 نتيجة التنافس على الأولوية بين اباطرة الشرق والغرب واحبارهم، فإن الانشقاق قد اتسع كثيراً في العام 1204، اي عند دخول الجيوش الصليبية المدينة وحرقها مبانيها العامة والخاصة وانتهاكها حرمة كنائسها.

وفي عهد السلطان محمد الثاني الملقب بالفاتح (1451-1481) فتح العثمانيون مدينة القسطنطينية، فقوضوا الإمبراطورية الرومانية الشرقية، وفتحوا أراضيها في منطقة البلقان أساساً وفي غيرها، ومازالت منطقة القسطنطينية، أي مدينة الآستانة كما أطلقوا عليها وما حولها، هي الجزء الأوروبي من السلطنة التي انحصرت في تركيا الحديثة

حقايق عن انطاكية :
______________
تاريخ
في سنة 323 ق.م مات الاسكندر المقدوني، وقام كبار ضباطه بالاتفاق على اقتسام إمبراطورية الإسكندر فيما بينهم، فأخذ بطليموس مصر و فلسطين، و أخذ أنتيغون مقدونيا و آسيا الصغرى، بينما أخذ سلوقس الأول نيكاتور سوريا و بابل و فارس.

قام انتيغون بإنشاء مدينة الإسكندرونة عند مصب نهر العاصي في سوريا سنة 317 ق.م، بعد ذلك استولى سليقوس نيكاتور على هذه المدينة سنة 301 م وأقام مكانها مدينة سماها أنطاكية على اسم أبيه أنطيوخوس، وعلى نفس المنوال أنشأ مدينة أخرى أطلق عليهااسم والدته لاثوديسيا (اللاذقية)، ثم أنشأ مدينة أفاميا باسم زوجتة على مسافة من اللاذقية إلى الداخل في سوريا.

أحب سليقوس مدينة أنطاكية فأمر بأن ينقل إليها كل ماله قيمة من أنقاض مدينة انتغونا المهدمة ، ومنح سكان المنطقة حقوق مساوية لليونانيين ليشجعهم على الانتقال إليها ، فعاشت المدينة سنين ازدهار طويلة حتى صارت درة الممالك السلوقية وعاصمتها من البحر المتوسط إلى حدود الهند . لاحقاً عانى الأنطاكيين من حكم السلوقيين مما دفعهم إلى تسليم المدينة لتكران ملك الأرمن سنة 83 ق.م ، ولكن مالبث الروم أن فرضوا سيطرتهم عليها سنة 64 ق.م وهكذا أصبحت سوريا تحت حكم جمهورية روما.

تعرضت المدينة لزلزال مدمر سنة 526 م ، ولموقعها الهام وأهميتها الاستراتيجية الكبيرة احتلها الفرس سنة 540 م ، ثم دخلها المسلمون سنة 637 م، ولكن الامبراطور نيكيفوروس الثاني فوكاس عاد فسيطر عليها ، بعد ذلك سنة 1085 م وقعت بيد السلاجقة ، وأثناء الحملات الصليبية على سوريا دخلها الفرنجة عام 1096 بعد أن حاصرها بوهيمند، ليصبح أول حاكم صليبي لها.

وبقيت المدينة في يد الصليبيين في الفترة الواقعة بين القرنين الثاني والثالث عشر حتى قيام الظاهر بيبرس السلطان المملوكي بتحريرها منهم سنة 1268 م ، وفقدت المدينة دورها الريادي السابق عقب حملة تيمورلنك على الشام فتضررت كثيرا بسبب هجمات المغول وذلك سنة 1401 م ، بعد ذلك استولى عليها الأتراك العثمانيين سنة 1516 م ، تمكن محمد على والي مصر من بلوغها عندما سيطر على ولاية الشام واستمر سلطانه عليها بين 1830 م و 1840 م. ضرب المدينة زلزال أخر سنة 1872 م.


] تبعية
بعد انقضاء الحرب العالمية الأولى عادت أنطاكية إلى سوريا ليحكمها السوريين بعد أن طرد الاحتلال التركي عن العالم العربي ، ولكن الحكومة الفرنسية التي كانت منتدبة على سوريا بين 1920 م و 1946 م تخلت عن منطقة لواء الاسكندرونة لتركيا و من ضمنها مدينة أنطاكية سنة 1939 م، و ذلك تحقيقا لمصالح معينة مخالفةً بذلك بنود اتفاقية الانتداب بالحفاظ على وحدة اراضي الدولة المنتدب عليها، و هكذا تقع هذه المدينة اليوم في الاراضي التركية تتبع ولاية هاتاي ، علماً بأن لواء الاسكندرونة في سوريا لايزال يرسم ضمن الخارطة الوطنية كجزء من أراضي البلاد [1].


أهمية دينية
لأنطاكية أهمية كبيرة لدى المسيحيين في الشرق، فهي أحد الكراسي الرسولية إضافة إلى روما والاسكندرية والقسطنطينية والقدس وبطاركة الطوائف التالية يلقبون ببطريرك أنطاكية: السريان الأرثوذكس ، الروم الأرثوذكس، السريان الكاثوليك، الروم الكاثوليك، السريان الموارنة.


قالوا عنها
قال ياقوت الحموي في معجم البلدان: وكانت العرب إذا أعجبها شيء نسبته إلى أنطاكية.

----------------------
capital of more than ten dynasties in Chinese history. Chang'an literally means "Perpetual Peace" in Classical Chinese. During the short-lived Xin Dynasty, the city was renamed "Constant Peace" (常安, pronounced the same way in Mandarin Chinese); yet after its fall in the year 23 AD, the old name was restored. By the time of the Ming Dynasty, the name was again changed to Xi'an, meaning "Western Peace", which has remained its name to the present day.

Chang'an had been settled since the Neolithic times, during which the Yangshao Culture established in Banpo in the city's suburb. Also in the northern vicinity of the modern Xi'an, the tumulus ruler Qin Shi Huang of Qin Dynasty held his imperial court, and constructed his massive mausoleum that is guarded by the famed Terracotta Army.

From its capital at Xianyang, the Qin dynasty ruled a larger area than either of the preceding dynasties. The imperial city of Chang'an during the Han Dynasty was located in northwest of today's Xi'an. During the Tang Dynasty, the area to be known as Chang'an included the area inside the Ming Xi'an fortification, plus some small areas to its east and west, and a major part of its southern suburbs. The Tang Chang'an hence, was 8 times the size of the Ming Xi'an, which was reconstructed upon the premise of the former imperial quarter of the Sui and Tang city. During its heyday, Chang'an was one of the largest and most populous cities in the world. Around 750 A.D. Chang'an was called a "million people's city" in Chinese records, while modern estimates put it at around 800,000–1,000,000 within city walls.[1] According to the census in the year 742 recorded in the New Book of Tang, 362,921 families with 1,960,188 persons were counted in Jingzhao Fu (京兆府), the metropolitan area including small cities in the vicinity.[2]

Han period

A terracotta horse head from the Han Dynasty.The site of the Han capital was located 3 km northwest of modern Xi'an. As the capital of the Western Han, it was the political, economic and cultural center of China. It was also the eastern terminus of the Silk Road, and a cosmopolitan metropolis comparable with the greatest cities of the contemporaneous Roman Empire.

It was a consumer city, a city whose existence was not primarily predicated upon manufacturing and trade, but rather boasted such a large population because of its role as the political and militaristic center of China.

There were 3 construction periods over more than 90 years. The Emperor Gao-zu of Han, Liu Bang, decided to build the palaces before the city walls. In 202 BC, he repaired the Xingle Palace (興樂宮) of the Qin Dynasty and renamed it Changle Palace (長樂宮). Two years later, a new palace called Weiyang Palace (未央宮) was constructed. In 195 BC, his son, Emperor Hui of Han began the construction of the walls of Chang'an and finished them in September of 191 BC. Emperor Hui, Emperor Wu of Han then built several palaces in the city. At that time, Zhang Qian journeyed west into central Asia as a diplomat. Since then, Chang'an city became the Asian gateway to Europe as the point of departure of the famous Silk Road. After the Western Han period, the Eastern Han government settled in Luoyang as the new capital and renamed Chang'an to Xijing (Western Capital). In 190 during late Eastern Han, the court was seized and relocated back to Chang'an by the notorious Prime Minister Dong Zhuo, as it was a strategically superior site against the mounting insurgency formed against him. By this time, many dynasties came to regard Chang'an as the symbolic site of supreme power and governance.


[edit] Sui and Tang periods
Both Sui and Tang empires occupied the same location. In 582, Emperor Wen of Sui Dynasty sited a new region southeast of the much ruined Han Dynasty Chang'an to build his new capital, which he called Daxing (Great Prosperity). Daxing was renamed Chang'an in year 618 when the Duke of Tang -Li Yuan- proclaimed himself the Emperor Gaozu of Tang empire. Chang'an in the Tang Dynasty (618—907) was, with Constantinople (Istanbul) and Baghdad, one of the largest cities in the world. It was a cosmopolitan urban center with considerable foreign populations from other parts of Asia and beyond. This new Chang'an was laid out on a north-south axis in a grid pattern, dividing the enclosure into 108 wards and featuring two large marketplaces, in the east and west respectively. Chang'an's layout influenced city planning of several other Asian capitals for many years to come. Chang'an's walled and gated wards were much larger than conventional city blocks seen in modern cities, as the smallest ward had a surface area of 68 acres and the largest ward had a surface area of 233 acres (0.94 km2).[3] The height of the walls enclosing each ward were on average 9 to 10 ft (3.0 m) in height.[3] The Japanese built their ancient capitals, Heijokyo (today's Nara) and later Heian-Kyo or Kyoto, modelled after Chang'an in a more modest scale yet was never fortified.[4] The modern Kyoto still retains some characteristics of Sui-Tang Chang'an. Similarly, the Korean Silla dynasty modeled their capital of Gyeongju after the Chinese capital. Unfortunately, much of Chang'an was ruthlessly destroyed during the fall of the Tang empire and in the subsequent centuries. It never recovered, but there are still some monuments from the Tang era that are still standing.


[edit] Layout of the city

The Giant Wild Goose Pagoda, built in 652 AD, located in the southeast sector of Chang'an.During Tang, the main exterior walls of Chang'an rose 18 ft (5.5 m) high, were 5 miles (8.0 km) by six miles in length, and formed a city in the shape of a large square, with an inner surface area of 30 squared miles.[5] The areas to the north that jutted out like appendages from the main wall were the West Park, the smaller East Park, and the Daming Palace, while the southeasternmost extremity of the main wall was built around the Serpentine River Park that jutted out as well. The West Park walled off and connected to the West Palace (guarded behind the main exterior wall) by three gates in the north, the walled off enclusure of the Daming Palace connected by three gates in the northeast, the walled off East Park led in by one gate in the northeast, and the Serpentine River Park in the southeast was simply walled off by the main exterior wall, and open without gated enclosures facing the southeasternmost city blocks. There was a Forbidden Park to the northwest outside of the city, where there was a cherry orchard, pear grove, a vineyard, and fields for playing popular sports such as horse polo and cuju (ancient Chinese football).[6] On the northwest section of the main outer wall there were three gates leading out to the Forbidden Park, three gates along the western section of the main outer wall, three gates along the southern section of the main outer wall, and three gates along the eastern section of the main outer wall.[7] Although the city had many different streets and roads passing between the wards, city blocks, and buildings, there were distinct major roads (lined up with the nine gates of the western, southern, and eastern walls of the city) that were much wider avenues than the others.[8] There were six of these major roads that divided the city into 9 distinct gridded sectors (listed below by cardinal direction). The narrowest of these streets were 82 ft (25 m) wide, those terminating at the gates of the outer walls being 328 ft (100 m) wide, and the largest of all, the Imperial Way that stretched from the central southern gate all the way to the Administrative City and West Palace in the north, was a whopping 492 ft (150 m) wide.[9] Streets and roads of these widths allowed for efficient fire breaks in the city of Chang'an. For example, in the year 843, a large fire consumed 4,000 homes, warehouses, and other buildings in the East Market, yet the rest of the city was at a safe distance from the blaze (which was largely quarantined in East Central Chang'an).[9] The citizens of Chang'an were also pleased with the government once the imperial court ordered the planting of fruit trees along all of the avenues of the city in the year 740.[10]


[edit] Pools, streams, and canals

The Small Wild Goose Pagoda, built in 709 AD, damaged by an earthquake in 1556 but still standing, located in the central sector of Chang'an.Within the West Park there was a running stream, and within the walled enclosure of the West Palace there were two running streams, one connecting three ponds and another connecting two ponds. The small East Park had a pond the size of those in the West Palace. The Daming Palace and the Xingqing Palace (located along the eastern wall of the city) both had a small lake to boast, yet the Serpentine River Park had a large lake within its bounds that was bigger than the latter two lakes combined, connected at the southern end by a river that ran under the main walls and out of the city.[7] There were 5 transport and sanitation canals running throughout the city, which had several different water sources, and delivered water to city parks, gardens of the rich, and the grounds of the imperial palaces.[10] The sources of water came from a stream running through the Forbidden Park and under the northern city wall, two different running streams from outside the city in the south, a stream that fed into the pond of the walled East Park, which in turn fed into a canal that led to the inner city. These canal waterways in turn streamed water into the ponds of the West Palace while the lake in the Xingqing Palace connected two different canals running through the city. The canals were also used to transport crucial goods throughout the city, such as charcoal and fire wood in the winter.[10]


[edit] Locations and events during the Tang Dynasty

[edit] Citywide events
Citywide events of Chang'an include:[21][22][23][24][25]

Festivals of traditional Chinese holidays celebrated throughout the city (and empire) included:
New Years; the grandest of all festivals, and a seven-day holiday period for government officials. Civil officials, military officers, and foreign emissaries gathered first in the early hours of the morning to attend a levee, an occasion where omens, disasters, and blessings of the previous year would be reviewed, along with tribute of regional prefectures and foreign countries presented. It was also an opportunity for provincial governors to present their recommended candidates for the imperial examination. Although festival ceremonies in Chang'an were lavish, rural people in the countryside celebrated privately at home with their families in age old traditions, such as drinking a special wine, Killing Ghosts and Reviving Souls wine, that was believed to cure illnesses in the following year.
Lantern Festival; a three-day festival held on the 14th, 15th, and 16th days of the first full moon. This was the only holiday where the government lifted its nightly curfew all across the city so that people could freely exit their wards and stroll about the main city streets to celebrate. Citizens attempted to outdo one another each year in the amount of lamps and the size of lamps they could erect in a grand display. By far the most prominent was the one in the year 713 erected at a gate in Chang'an by the recently-abdicated Emperor Ruizong of Tang. His lantern wheel had a recorded height of 200 ft (61 m), the frame of which was draped in brocades and silk gauze, adorned with gold and jade jewelry, and when it had its total of some 50,000 oil cups lit the radiance of it could be seen for miles.
Lustration; this one day festival took place on the third day of the third moon (dubbed the "double-three"), and traditionally was meant to dispel evil and wash away defilement in a river with scented aromatic orchis plants. By the Tang era it had become a time of baudy celebration, feasting, wine drinking, and writing poetry. The Tang court annually served up a special batch of deep fried pastries as desert for the occasion, most likely served in the Serpentine River Park.
Cold Food Festival; this solar-based holiday on April 5th (concurrent with the Qingming Festival) was named so because no fires were allowed to be lit for three days, hence no warmed or hot food. It was a time to respect one's ancestors by maintaining their tombs and offering sacrifices, while a picnic would be held later in the day. It was also a time for fun in outdoor activities, with amusement on swing sets, playing cuju football, horse polo, and tug of war. In the year 710, Emperor Zhongzong of Tang had his chief ministers, sons-in-law, and military officers engage in a game of tug of war, and purportedly laughed when the oldest ministers fell over. The imperial throne also presented porridge to officials, and even dyed chicken and duck eggs, similar to the practice on Easter in the Western world.
Fifth Day of the Fifth Moon; this one-day holiday dubbed the Dragon Boat Festival was held in honor of an ancient Chinese statesman Qu Yuan (c. 340 BC-278 BC) from the State of Chu. Ashamed that he could not save the dire affairs of his state or his king by offering good council, Qu Yuan leaped into a river and committed suicide; it was said that soon after many went out on the river in boats in a desperate attempt to rescue him if still alive. This act turned into a festive tradition of boarding a dragon boat to race against other oarsmen, and also to call out Qu's name, still in search of him. The type of food commonly eaten during the Tang period for this festival was either glutinous millet or rice wrapped in leaves and boiled.
Seventh Night of the Seventh Moon; this was a one-day festival that was held in honor of the celestial love affair with deities associated with the star Altair (the male cow-herd deity) in the constellation Aquila and the star Vega (the female weaver maid deity) in the constellation Lyra. For this holiday, women prayed for the enhancement of their skills at sewing and weaving. In the early 8th century Tang servitors had erected a 100 ft (30 m) tall hall by knotting brocades to a bamboo frame and laid out fruits, ale, and roasts as offerings to the two stellar lovers. It was during this holiday that the emperor's concubines threaded polychrome thread into needles with nine eyes, while facing the moon themselves (in a ritual called "praying for skill [in sewing and weaving]").
Fifteenth Day of the Seventh Moon; this holiday was called All Saints' Feast, developing from the legend of the bodhisattva savior Mulian who had discovered his mother paying for her sinful ways while in purgatory filled with hungry ghosts. According to the tale, she starved there because any food that she put into her mouth would turn into charcoal. Then it was said that she told the Buddha to make an offering with his clergy on the fifteenth day of the seventh month, a virtuous act that would free seven generations of people from being hungry ghosts in Hell as well as people reborn as lower animals. After Mulian was able to save his own mother by offerings, Mulian convinced the Buddha to make the day into a permanent holiday. This holiday was an opportunity of Buddhist monasteries to flaunt their collected wealth and attract donors, especially by methods of drawing crowds with dramatic spectacles and performances.
Fifteenth Day of the Eighth Moon; this festival (today simply called the Moon Festival or Mid-Autumn Festival), took place in mid autumn, and was designated as a three day vacation for government officials. Unlike the previous holiday's association with Buddhism, this holiday was associated with Taoism, specifically Taoist alchemy. There was a tale about a hare on the moon who worked hard grinding ingredients for an elixir by using a mortar and pestle. In folklore, a magician escorted Emperor Illustrious August to the palace of the moon goddess across a silver bridge that was conjured up by him tossing his staff into the air. In the tale, on the fifteenth day of the eighth moon, the emperor viewed the performance of "Air of the Rainbow Robe and Feathered Skirt" by immortal maids. He memorized the music, and on his return to earth taught it to his performers. For people in Chang'an (and elsewhere), this holiday was a means for many to simply feast and drink for the night.
Ninth Day of the Ninth Moon; this was a three-day holiday associated with the promotion of longevity (with chrysanthemum as the main symbol). It was a holiday where many sought to have picnics out in the country, especially in higher elevated areas such as mountain sides. Without the ability to travel away to far off mountains, inhabitants of Chang'an simply held their feasts at the tops of pagodas or in the Serpentine River Park. Stems and leaves of chrysanthemum were added to fermented grains and were brewed for a year straight. On the same festival the following year, it was believed that drinking this ale would prolong one's life.
The Last Day of the Twelfth Moon; on this holiday ale and fruit were provided as offerings to the god of the stove, after having Buddhist or Taoist priests recite scripture at one's own home (if one had the wealth and means). Offerings were made to the stove god because it was his responsibility to make annual reports to heaven on the good deeds or sins committed by the family in question. A family would do everything to charm the god, including hanging a newly painted portrait of the god on a piece of paper above their stove on New Years, which hung in the same position for an entire year. It was a common practice to rub in some alcoholic beverage across the picture of the deities mouth, so that he would become drunk and far too inebriated to make any sort of reasonably bad or negative report about the family to heaven.
Grand Carnivals; carnivals during the Tang period were lively events, with tons of eating, drinking, street parades, and sideshow acts in tents. Carnivals had no fixed dates or customs, but were merely celebrations bestowed by the emperor in the case of his generosity or special circumstances such as great military victories, abundant harvests after a long drought or famine, sacrifices to gods, or the granting of grand amnesties.[26] This type of carnival as a nationwide tradition was established long before the Tang by Qin Shihuang in the 3rd century BC, upon his unification of China in 221.[27] Between the years 628 and 758, the imperial throne bestowed a total of sixty nine different carnivals, seventeen of which were held under Empress Wu.[26] These carnivals generally lasted 3 days, and sometimes five, seven, or nine days (using odd numbers due so that the number of days could correspond with beliefs in the cosmos). The carnival grounds were usually staged in the wide avenues of the city, and smaller parties in attendance in the open plazas of Buddhist monasteries. However, in the year 713, a carnival was held in the large avenue running east to west between the West Palace walls and the government compounds of the administrative city, an open space that was 0.75 miles (1.21 km) long and 1,447 ft (441 m) wide, and was more secure since the guard units of the city were placed nearby and could handle crowd control of trouble arose.[28] Carnivals of the Tang Dynasty featured large passing wagons with high poles were acrobats would climb and perform stunts for crowds. Large floats during the Tang, on great four-wheeled wagons, rose as high as five stories, called 'mountain carts' or 'drought boats'.[29] These superstructure vehicles were draped in silken flags and cloths, with bamboo and other wooden type frames, foreign musicians dressed in rich fabrics sitting on the top playing music, and the whole cart drawn by oxen that were covered in tiger skins and outfitted to look like rhinoceroses and elephants. An official in charge of the music bureau in the early seventh century set to the task of composing the official music that was to be played in the grand carnival of the year. On some occasions the emperor granted prizes to those carnival performers he deemed to outshine the rest with their talents.
In the year 682, a culmination of major droughts, floods, locust plagues, and epidemics, a widespread famine broke out in the dual Chinese capital cities of Chang'an and Luoyang. The scarcity of food drove the price of grain to unprecedented heights of inflation, while a once prosperous era under emperors Taizong and Gaozong ended on a sad note.[30]

اخى العزيز الموضوع حلو بس اى الكلام اللى بتقولو دة اى والنبيييييييي ثبتوووووو هو بالعفية
وايه ارجو مسح القديم هو انتة اللى كنت كتبو

وانا عايز اعرف سنك كام؟

وأرجو من مشرفى القسم مسح الكلمتين اللى بيقلهم دووول
لان حرام تحلف بالنبى

وحراام تدخل الدين فى لعبة

والسلام ختام

والله والله تعبت أوي أوي في الموضوع دة
أرجو أن يعجبكم
يا باشا احنا عارفين انك تعبت بس من الاحترام انك متقلش امسح القديم وبعدين متبقاش فضولى
وبعدين يا باشا مش عشن عملت موضوع ولا اتنين عن طريق الحرير يبقى يتمسح القديم بسلامتك
وبعدين الى عامل القديم ده Adminstrator يعنى ممكن يخلى لونك رمادى وانته مشاركاتك كتيره كده
