Xinhuanet, Thailand, March 21 (Chen Jiabao and Zhang Keren) Recently, Muay Thai teacher Basanxi, who was nearly 60 years old, sat upright on the platform built in front of the ruins of the ancient capital of Thailand, solemnly put on the headband "Mengkong" that symbolized his becoming a Muay Thai boxer. He placed his hands on the heads of these boxers of different skin colors and recited a blessing scripture for each person.
"Mengkong" means auspiciousness and good luck in Thai. The headband "Mengkong" wrapped in silk thread has now become a symbol of distinguishing the level and level of boxers by color.
After the ceremony, Basanxi, wearing a golden "monkong" on his head, witnessed the more than 1,500 Muay Thai players and enthusiasts from 69 countries and regions dancing a set of apprentice dance under the leadership of the famous Thai boxer Sitichai .
accompanied by ancient Thai music, more than a thousand boxers lined up in a large array of boxers folded their hands together, kneeling toward the boxer sitting upright and the Great City Dynasty pagoda ruins surrounding the four directions, opening the curtain of the apprentice dance.
Thailand will set March 17th of each year as Muay Thai Master's Day. Boxers will take this opportunity to gather together to express their respect to the master and gather the feelings of their classmates. "The Muay Thai apprenticeship ceremony forged the gratitude and perseverance of a boxer, making this powerful sport shine with the halo of humanity," said Basanxi.
