Features: Being born in China, it is truly a pity not to be able to believe in Chinese traditions. I think, the reason monks shave their heads is not about the weight of the hair, but about shedding life's pursuits. Whenever wisdom is mentioned, or philosophy is discussed, people often talk with great enthusiasm about Plato and his disciples walking in the sunlight of ancient Greek gardens. However, the golden lion that guards the Changsheng Dian in Luoyang Palace seems to be overlooked by many. People are not very willing to notice how a conversation about wisdom once took place, which gave this golden lion eternal life in the minds of generations. The golden lion guarding the Changsheng Dian in Luoyang Palace has become history, and along with it, the ancient scholars and women have faded into oblivion. There are countless articles written by later generations to judge history. It can be said that no one can surpass cultural celebrities in penetrating the fog of time to restore historical truth.
