Ku Srah Srey (Srah Khu)

Mr. Soeun Vuthy, Thursday February 2, 2012

According to the history of the Khmer competition we have seen double Sra
h Bros (Boy-Pond) where it is shaped and how not? they have never heard of, As far as I know some people in the village of Ba-Srae,  let alone when their eyes to see. If we are talking about double Sra Srey (Girl-Pond) almost all well known to all.
Pair of Srah Srey and Srah Bros in Tra Vinh, it is nearly equal age, in the reign of King Botum Mvong here with the aim to establish a city for the family to the King at that time.
But in that time span than the cause of what has made them abandon their purpose built, until now only the excess and leave memories for the Khmer people in southern Vietnam, which called optical States of the country.
We met and we never saw the documents evidencing the milk double Srah clear on this, everyone just outside the catch or know of a Khmer legend entitled "Competition each training Srah" between sons and daughters compete with each other, and the men dig women, the men lost to consent to marry women, and it was propagated from time to time other until the edge at that time.
Pair of the female Srah called double Srah Srong but almost everyone called double Srah all. But in my opinion if we write or speak the best language we should use "double female" better.
So, if you call "women's doubles," so it is located at position "Ang Pagoda" or located in large Srah today. Because the "Double" means a sign to identify the barriers king's palace in ancient times, set up to protect and prevent harm enemies.
Ang Pagoda now emerging high ground in the center, and the Hall for the monks to Buddhist with you for blessings and making offerings to monks at the temple. It's a sign we saw in the ear. And one side a place in which we want to mention that "Double Srah", it is also a puzzle to all of us need to explain.
Anyway, "the double of women Srah" they are referring to in the "Srah Large" every day that is not the correct answer accurate. We should try to see specific questions, we trained it to do? Who is dig it? (Boys or girls?) In any training? Who is the mastermind? Why have the other side of Srah Buddhists in? Kos and right temple called "Kompong-De-Vi"? the Vietnamese call "Cha Dy".

Is here to save the princess called "De-Vi" in Srah bath down there, so the khmer called "Komponng-De-Vi" like fins! Now we end of summary stories "Double Srah" here. Now please turn your pen to the story "Double Srah of crab men" once.
Looking west from the pair of female Srah stretches 1000 meters account. in that there is a Srah (Pond), people call it Srah Bros or double Srah of men. It is the village of Ba Srae, double Srah not sign this, it is the high land rising from the temple and the attached "Kompong Thmor" (Thorp Thmor) southward to the plains to the west and then turn back then north to east (now no longer see the signs again, but heard there are still signs of a map of the current state).
Covering an area of ​​3000 meters account, and get people to do home builders land for hundreds of years ago. The rest of the people also get to own nearly all gone. only a few remaining signs from the street outside the field only. but the remaining small portion of the village and the largest area of ​​more than 20 meters long terms, where different terms than 2 meters only. Also distributed high ground, too, in the rainy season cattle plows up the mud, the highest balance for the account are measured 3 meters. A number of trees planted since ancient times has destroyed everything.

A few years back, thanks be to protect the Master's hand with both the temple pagoda board Thorp Thor destroyed the phenomenon is reduced, but also some elements they wanted because the encroachment was not the laws of the land should the event the appropriation is still wrong.
Srah (pond) pair of men have the same characteristics as barriers to protect the enemy. And it Thorp Thmor involvement with the temple, although this temple was built in 1886 but it proves to us that the sign of the double-Bros. Because the temple is built on the rock of magnitude Clause 100 square meters (expenditure area of ​​rock, not soil surface area of the temple).
Where paragraph 50 square meter area of rock that are arranged in order so beautiful and the rest is still popular on the ground burning. As this is double Bros king crab Botum Mvong fence erected to protect the King Botum Mvong at the temple of Botum Mvong Kompong Thmor (Thorp Thmor) at the same time.
Name was taken by the King and Kompong that one single transfer map lumps of stone and built the temple located in the left temple at present. in addition it is also related to the name of the village ray "Ba Srae" again, the Khmer called "Ba" the word used in voice communication within the family. For example, damage: a child whom she called "Daddy, Ba to go?"
So we were able to host this field in the old days where the average of the training until the king should now be called "Ba Srae".
 These are our main return Srey double (male) again, double-old Srey is at Princess "De Vi" and the servant in the palace down to the water bath. if so then, as well as a story of the legendary "Training Srah competing" between male and female is also true and full sense then, only a few that say little unclear.
As we see in this story has two major parts: the first is a female plastic to compete in the women's training Srah. also emulate other men to set out to build the fence, not two-party competition training same place.
The second of main part was not all men and women compete to marry each other first. Son about to marry women from the ancient times before digging Srah (pond) story anymore. This story if you want more information should be documented and well known to easily prove the truth.
When we look at the history of the Khmer, it is the wonders of the Khmer ethnic minority in South Vietnam, but if its on, it is the geographical wonders of the Khmer people in the Ba Srae village of Tra  Vinh province.
What a blessing for Tra Vinh province, where it is luxuriant closely together with the date of separation is not. but commercial information for pair of male Srah, because it was lonely alone no care, no rice, dehydrated through a dozen centuries. Now good fortune has come and also the future salty departments have started optical cultural center in accordance with the truth.
Since the state agencies from central to local levels and with the help of monks and Buddhist Khmer and farmers in 141 pagodas of Tra Vinh. So people can make it a better life as a female Srah not?
For Srah of men must have your help immediately. first to raise the ground up, then up again to the large width, length and connected with each other for the old scheme. I need to have more trees to create shade from the beginning to the end of the region.

Who is this done?

That's all we have a clear understanding of the cultures of peoples and nations.
