King Gesar King Gesar (about 1038-1119 AD) was a legendary Tibetan hero who was born in Dege County, Ganzi Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture. In his lifetime, he got rid of the violence and protected the people, fought south and north, and finally unified more than 150 tribes in the upper reaches of the Jinsha River and the Yellow River. Later generations called him King Gesar of Ling. According to legend, King Gesar is also the incarnation of the Guru Rinpoche and his wisdom, compassion and power. King Gesar is a true historical figure who gradually deified in the process of epic singing. The oral epic "The Epic of King Gesar" based on Gesar is the longest heroic epic in the world. He unified the tribal disputes that lasted for hundreds of years after the collapse of the Tubo Kingdom, developed agriculture and animal husbandry, allowed the people to live and work in peace, and brought stability to the Tibetan people. He advocated Buddhism which was more systematic than the primitive religion Bon, and formed a unified Tibetan culture with the Buddhist worldview as the core. According to the legend of King Gesar, his half-brother Jiacha Xiega(their mother is the Han nationality) had notable military exploits and made great contributions until he died heroically on the battlefield. He is a positive hero with the most perfect personality in "The Epic of King Gesar". King Gesar was born in Axu Grassland(belonging to the Ling Kingdom), Dege County, Ganzi Prefecture, named "Jueri". Gesar of Ling had a poor family since he was a child and made a living by grazing. Due to the sowing discord from his uncle, the mother and son lead a wandering life and depended on each other for survival. Gesar was ambitious when he was a child, but there are always people who don’t want him to be good. At that time, the leader of their area was Jueri's uncle Chao Tong. His uncle represents the matrilineal side. In ancient times, the matrilineal could not be the king of a place, the king must be the paternal line. However, his uncle could manipulate the fate of the tribe when the patrilineal party did not really become the king, so his uncle suppressed the young Gesar in every possible way. In the end, King Gesar of Ling, with his extraordinary martial arts and intelligence, defeated his uncle and won the throne, leading his tribe to overcome various disasters, such as floods, snowstorms, and droughts that had not been encountered in a century. During this period, King Gesar also won several key battles, such as the Menling War, Huoling War and Jiangling War, and developed the borders. When he was 12 years old, with the assistance of his elder brother Jiacha Xiega, Jueri quietly returned to the tribe. He won the first prize in the horse racing event held by the Ling family's large, middle and small factions. Later, he won the throne and became King Gesar and married Zhumu as his wife. From then on, he began his military career in the South and North Wars. Legend has it that when King Gesar was 15 years old, he led the fighters of Ling Kingdom to conquer the demon land "Deyu", beheaded the demon king Toda, and turned the demon land "Deyu" into a pure land of virtue so that the people in "Deyu" lived happy and peaceful lives. King Gesar lived in "Deyu" for 9 years and managed the place in an orderly manner. When he was 24 years old, King Huoer Baizhang invaded the Ling Kingdom and robbed his princess. King Gesar quickly set off after receiving the news, killed King Huoer Baizhang, subdued the Huoer area, and returned with the princess in triumph. This Huoling war between Huoer Kingdom and Ling Kingdom is the most representative part of "The Epic of King Gesar". Then, when Gesar was 33 years old, he won the Jiangling war between the Jiang Kingdom and Ling Kingdom. The king of Jiang Kingdom, Satan intended to seize the salt sea from the Ling Kingdom. King Gesar and the soldiers of the Ling Kingdom went through a series of battles of wisdom and bravery with Jiang's king and his ministers. Finally, they eventually eliminated Satan, the king of Jiang, also one of the "four demon kings" in the epic. At the age of 36, he won the MenLing War between the Men and Ling Kingdom. At the age of 40, he fought with Dazi(Persian territory nowadays) and conquered the King of Dazi; at 42 he went to Khache and eliminated King Khache Trizan; At 68, he also conquered the Dami sect of Nepal in the south, and conquered the Baire Mianyang sect when he was 69. Through fighting everywhere, King Gesar of Ling unified more than 150 surrounding tribes, established a unified political power in the Tibetan areas connected by the three provinces of Sichuan, Qinghai, and Tibet, and ended the hundreds of years of tribal disputes after the collapse of Tubo Kingdom. Therefore, the people of later generations regard King Gesar as a glorious God of War who can subdue and defeat all evils. The valiant great leader King Gesar brought the common people a stable life. Generally, on the snow-covered plateau, the common people began to use mythological methods to chant King Gesar's military life, promotion of poetic justice, and dissemination of the culture, to express their respects and admiration for him. King Gesar became the hero that the common people were proud of. Size: Size without Brocade: 18 inches by 24 inches Shipping: We ship within 2 business day.
