| 説明 | Ayutthaya Historical Park, Wat Phanan Choeng, Luang Pho Tho, collecting robesAyutthaya Historical Park covers the ruins of the old city of Ayutthaya, Phra Nakhon Si Ayutthaya Province, Thailand. The city of Ayutthaya was founded by King Ramathibodi I in 1351. Thirty-five kings ruled the Ayutthaya kingdom during its existence. The city was captured by the Burmese in 1569. Though not pillaged, it lost many valuable and artistic objects. It was the capital of the country until its destruction by the Burmese Army in 1767.In 1969 the Fine Arts Department began renovations of the ruins, which became more serious after it was declared a historical park in 1976. In 1991, part of Ayutthaya Historical Park was declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The inscribed area covered only 289 ha of the central and southwestern parts of Ayutthaya Island; as a result, only certain groups of historical sites are under UNESCO protection. The sites including Wat Ratchaburana, Wat Mahathat, Wat Phra Sri Sanphet, Wat Phra Ram, and Wiharn Phra Mongkhon Bopit. The sites that are not part of World Heritage sites are the sites beyond Ayutthaya Island, for example, Wat Yai Chai Mongkon, Wat Phanan Choeng, Wat Chaiwatthanaram, and Wat Phu Khao Thong.Wat Phanan Choeng is a Buddhist temple in the city of Ayutthaya, on the east bank of the Chao Phraya River at the south-eastern side of the confluence of the Chao Phraya and Pa Sak rivers.Built in 1324, some 26 years before the city of Ayutthaya was officially founded, the temple must have been partly connected to early settlements in the area. These notably allegedly included a 200-strong refugee community from Song Dynasty China. The large wihan, the highest building within the temple complex, houses an immense gilded 19 meter high seated Buddha from 1334 CE. This highly revered Buddha statue is called Luang Pho Tho by Thais, and Sam Pao Kong by Thai-Chinese. The statue is regarded as a guardian for mariners. Allegedly, prior to the destruction of Ayutthaya by the Burmese in 1767 CE, "tears flowed from the sacred eyes to the sacred navel". The statue has been restored several times in history. King Mongkut named the statue Phra Puttha Thrai Ratana Nayok after its restoration in 1854 CE.The temple was visited in 1407 CE by Zheng He, a Chinese Muslim eunuch admiral from Yunnan who led his second Ming imperial voyage. He bestowed gifts upon the temple in a great ceremony that included Siamese royal participation, and is today remembered by Thai-Chinese visitors who still visit the temple in his honour.(sources: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ayutthaya_Historical_Park and en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wat_Phanan_Choeng) |
