The bunga mas dan perak ( "golden and silver flowers"), often abbreviated to bunga mas (Jawi: "golden flowers"), was a tribute sent every three years to the king of Siam from its vassal states in the Malay Peninsula, in particular, Terengganu, Kelantan, Kedah and the Patani Kingdom. The tribute consisted of two small trees made of gold and silver, plus costly gifts of weapons, goods and slaves. 〔Leonard Y. Andaya, Barbara Watson Andaya (1984). ''A History of Malaysia'', ISBN 0312381212, (pp.65-68 )〕 There are several supposed origins of and reasons for the establishment of the tradition: * 17th-century Kedah rulers considered it to be a token of friendship. * According to a Kedah legend, a ''bunga mas'' was sent as a toy for a Thai prince. * Thai kings maintained it was a recognition of their suzerainty.〔 The practice ended in 1909, with the establishment of the British rule in most of the northern Malay states.〔 == See also == * Malaysia–Thailand relations 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「bunga mas」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
