"Des Chinois: Un voyage à travers les incarnations de Vichenou et la mythologie indienne" Dans la mythologie indienne, "des Chinois" fait référence aux différentes incarnations de Vichenou, une divinité vénérée. Ravanen était le roi de l'île du Ceylan et considéré comme le septième avatar de Vichenou sous le nom de Balapatren. Vime était également une incarnation importante en tant que Rama, tandis que Ve se manifestait en tant que nain. Le troisième avatar sauvage de Vichenou prenait la forme d'un sanglier, symbolisant sa puissance brute. Moudevi, quant à elle, était la déesse de la discorde et du malheur qui semait le chaos partout où elle passait. L'incarnation suivante fut celle d'une tortue géante représentant patience et sagesse. Sani est un autre personnage important dans cette histoire - il est associé à Saturne dans l'astrologie indienne. Outre ces personnages fascinants, on peut également trouver des instruments musicaux indiens variés tels que des trompettes lorsqu'on parle des Chinois. La musique joue un rôle essentiel dans la culture indienne et ses nombreux instruments ajoutent une dimension unique à son héritage musical. Enfin, Parachiven et Parachati étaient deux autres avatars importants de Vichenou qui ont apporté leur propre contribution au folklore hindou. Le quatrième avatar a été particulièrement significatif pour ses exploits héroïques. Les histoires entourant "des Chinois" sont riches en symbolisme et offrent un aperçu captivant du panthéon hindou ainsi que de la diversité culturelle et spirituelle de l'Inde.
