10. The Ramayana 印度古代梵语两大史诗之一《罗摩衍那》

Luc_Webster

In my point of view, any war, even for the so-called justice, shouldn't exist at all. Besides malicious purposes, those righteous wars can easily stimulate aggressive thoughts of people, which don't help peace at all. Therefore, the opinion in the saga is sort of falling behind.

The text was also shaped by a number of historical forces. The Ramayana was written at a time when kingdoms were becoming powerful and kings began to exercise enormous political power. Rama's dedication to mercy and justice stands in sharp contrast to the historical reality of murder and deception in early Indian dynasties. It is possible that the story of Rama was meant in part to offer a model for the ideal king.

The Ramayana has inspired a very large number of adaptions. The Ramayana has been condensed into books for children, and numerous schools of South Asian theater have adapted it for stage performances. There have been dozens of film adaptations of the Ramayana, most recently the 2010 computer animated film, "Ramayana: The Epic."

The Ramayana was composed in Sanskrit. Over the years of re-tellings, several vernacular versions emerged that embellished the story, added regional touches, and inserted explanations and justifications for those bits that showed the hero, Rama, in a not-too-heroic light. The Ramavataram, composed by the Tamil poet Kamban in the 12th century CE, is popular in the southern parts of India. In the north, the Ramacharit Manas, composed by the Awadhi poet Tulsidas, is extremely popular. Other variations exist in Bengali, Malayalam, Telegu, Kannada, and other Indian languages.

Ramayana, (Sanskrit: “Rama’s Journey”) shorter of the two great epic poems of India, the other being the Mahabharata (“Great Epic of the Bharata Dynasty”). The Ramayana was composed in Sanskrit, probably not before 300 BCE, by the poet Valmiki and in its present form consists of some 24,000 couplets divided into seven books.
