Bali Culture-Bali Tourism-Bali Business-Bali History
Balinese are philosophers of life. They work hard at work, eat happily while eating, sleep peacefully at night, live in peace with all the gods, and have no distractions in every minute of their lives. Life is naturally carefree, and life is certainly happy.
The cliche that "money is not everything" is just a duplicity idiom. It is an eternal standard for human beings to measure everything with the value of money. In the past, when Muslim forces swept through Southeast Asia, they didn't like the lack of oil and food in Bali, and even disdained to get their hands on it. This state of being unable to enter the door gives Hinduism a foothold. In this land abandoned by mortals, the freedom of Hinduism blooms with unparalleled color.
Good souls and evil souls are treated equally.
The prosperity of Hinduism is rooted in the endless tolerance of the Bari people. Bari believe in animism and welcome Hinduism with the attitude of accepting everything in the world.
Compared with the orthodox Hinduism in India, the Hinduism in Bali is much more approachable. The trinity of Brahma, Shiva and Vishnu has only a "virtual" image in Bari, and the altar (Meru) is empty, but it is enough to show the Bari's piety to God. For the Bari people, they just need to worship everything sincerely. It is absolutely not biased for the god of justice to sacrifice with the evil spirit, and there can be no mistakes in sacrificing in the morning and evening. As for whether there are gods like Rhonda and Baron in Hinduism, there is really no need to investigate and care.
Banjar autonomy is peaceful and prosperous.
Bari people not only have their own set of cognition in religion, but also have a set of version different from the official version in life management.
Although the government has clearly defined the administrative management system of counties, cities and villages, it is "Banjar" that really promotes the operation. "Banga" is a small unit after "village". It consists of hundreds of families, belonging to Barry's autonomous organization and not in the archives of government agencies. From the weddings, funerals and celebrations of each family to the rewards and punishments of individual behaviors, they are all resolved through monthly meetings. Strict autonomous organizations make every household contact each other in silence, forming a strong moral binding force. Therefore, although Bali is as beautiful as paradise, you can't live like a hermit.
Nobles and civilians are equal.
The class system originated from religion exists in Bali, but because Balinese believe in religion, their requirements for class system are not as strict and serious as those of Indians. In Bali, the four classes are not only equal, but also not limited to high or low vocabulary. With the infiltration of economic strength, the class titles listed on business cards in the past have gradually been replaced by proud learning experiences. However, it is common sense that when in Rome, do as the Romans do. These four types of people should keep in mind to avoid making mistakes in taboos and quarreling on special occasions such as sacrificial ceremonies.

Things change without changing color.
Bari people don't ask their family members about their origins, and they don't go anywhere with foreign tourists. Their naive and easy-going attitude makes Barry a rest stop for people to trust and put their hearts together. It is commendable that Barry receives millions of tourists every year, but he still doesn't change his true colors. Sea or sea, mulberry field or mulberry field.
The custom of offering sacrifices in the morning and evening and the habit of bathing have not changed for a hundred years. Although tourists gather around V8, Bari people still turn a blind eye to their own lives. The terraced fields you saw 65,438+00 years ago are still waiting for your return today, and only the varieties of rice and grass have changed. Barry's cultivated area is over 90%, and new varieties are planted. Rapid growth and strong disease resistance are the skills of new varieties to capture Barry. However, the excessive use of pesticides is the price paid by the Bari people, and the changed ecology has led to a sharp decline in the number of frogs and eels. Frog croaking is the main theme of Barry's serenade. Will this familiar movement change its tune one day? Bari people have begun to think deeply about this problem.
Work hard and concentrate on playing.
Leisure is the attitude of Bari people, but it doesn't mean slacking off. In fact, when the day came, the men in Bari plowed the fields diligently, while the women's families cleaned and prepared meals to take care of the animals. When the sun rises and the earth gets hot, men stop what they are doing and go home to look after their beloved cockfighting. At this time, the sleepy tourists just went out and saw the street fighting and chatting in the cool.
In fact, Barry is quite simple and honest. He takes care of his own work and guards the pet cockfighting wholeheartedly. Their expectations for cockfighting are pinned on the sacrificial ceremony, which is recognized as an occasion where they can gamble their skills. The cockfighter has a sword tied to his foot. After a shower of dust and feather Qi Fei, the result has been decided. The winner gets the gambling money and the defeated chicken. Gambling money went into the wallet, and dead chickens went to the table.
Sacrificial ceremonies continue all the year round.
Speaking of sacrificial ceremonies, don't be afraid to miss them. Temple fairs in Bali continue all year round, hundreds of times, large and small. It's really not easy for you to miss them.
Visit the tourist service center to find out the dates of large-scale temple fairs. If you don't care about scale, you can see it wherever you travel.
If there are sacrifices or weddings, funerals or celebrations in the village in the near future, it will definitely start weaving and carving decorations. When you pass by, stop and ask, and the villagers will tell you the first-hand news that the tourism service center can't ask. There may be a wife who will get married in three days, or be cremated in a week. You are welcome to come and play then. Barry's traditional red tape is inevitable at weddings and funerals. If you want to participate, you must have the physical strength to stick to it all day. It is not difficult to share the joy of the wedding, but it is doubtful how to share the sadness at the funeral. Fortunately, this is not bothered by Barry. For the Bari, death is the detachment of the soul. Although it is not suitable for joy, there is no need to be sad. Therefore, an ordinary funeral is like a villagers' meeting, where the whole village gets together to help each other. Every once in a while, a group of people will greet each other and catch up. The atmosphere is peaceful and the open attitude is impressive.
A friend of Barry's put it well: "Death is like a cycle of sex and rain, so why should we care?" He thinks what we should care about is to concentrate on living in the present and eat happily while eating. Sleep peacefully when you sleep, distract yourself from every minute, live a natural and happy life.
Coffee piaoxiang
Indonesia's mandolin and Java coffee are world-famous. Many people don't know that Bali itself produces coffee. Most of the coffee trees in Bali grow on the mountains with an altitude of 65,438+0,000-2,000 meters in the north-central part. Because the area is cool and foggy and suitable for the growth of coffee trees, Bali's "Golden Coffee" came into being, with an average annual output of 8,000 tons.
There is a coffee factory run by Chinese in Nusa Dua. The young boss said that the taste of Balinese coffee was neither sour nor astringent, but bitter. It ripens once or twice a year at the end of September and March. Whenever the coffee fruit is ripe, the local people will harvest it by hand, and then carry out the processes of drying, screening and baking.
It is understood that the picked coffee fruits need to be exposed to the sun for about two weeks, and then artificially screened. Workers will screen out brown, cyan, moth-eaten and smelly coffee beans to avoid the sour taste of coffee, then bake them, usually at a high temperature of 350 degrees for one and a half hours, then put them indoors to dissipate heat, and then package or grind them into coffee powder for sale. The boss said it's best to put the freshly ground coffee powder for 2 days first, and then brew it after the chemical changes between the coffee powder and the air, which makes it taste better.
The "golden coffee" in Bali belongs to finely ground coffee with many coffee grounds, such as Middle Eastern coffee. People who don't like too much coffee grounds, it's best to filter with fine filter paper.
Bari coffee has a bitter taste in its throat, and its taste is quite smooth, with endless aftertaste. When boyfriends and girlfriends who like coffee come to Bali, they might as well buy a few packets of freshly roasted and ground coffee. A pack of 500g costs about NT$ 250 yuan, and there are many decorations made of coffee beans and coffee powder, which are quite fresh.
Bali time difference
Bali and Beijing have the same time, and there is no time difference.
