The history of Sri Lanka can be traced back to 2000 years ago. About 600 BC, Aryans from the northern part of the South subcontinent first immigrated here. Aryans first settled along the coast, and then gradually moved inland along the river. They build villages and make a living by growing rice. Sinhalese, the most powerful immigrant, has become synonymous with all immigrants. Sinhala means lion in Sanskrit, so although there are no wild lions in the local area, lions are still used as symbols in the national flag and national emblem. Sinhalese people have established their own unique caste system on the original basis, which is the basis of the village community system. The whole country believes in Brahmanism. In 377 BC, Tantoga Abaye seized the throne and made Anuradapura the capital. He created the Sinhalese water conservancy civilization by building many excellent water conservancy projects. Around 250 BC, King Ashoka of Indian Peacock Dynasty sent his son to the island to promote Buddhism, which was welcomed by Sinhalese people. By the 2nd century BC, Sinhalese people had abandoned their original Brahmanism belief and accepted Buddhism. Sri Lanka was colonized by Britain in modern times, and then declared its independence on February 4, 1948/kloc-0.
Today, as a small country, Sri Lanka is not keen to show its face in international politics, but its rich natural resources and superior geographical location force it to become the forefront of competition and game among big countries. Sri Lanka and India are separated only by a Bok Strait, and India's boss in South Asia has long coveted Sri Lanka. Sri Lanka, which guards the northern Indian Ocean route, allows China to import oil from the Middle East, bypassing India, Southeast Asia and other pro-American countries. At present, China has obtained the 99-year lease right of the port of Hambantota.
