文化背景
In rural areas, 'ngongit slop' is the time when people stay indoors to avoid 'Arak' or forest spirits. It is a time for family storytelling by candlelight. In cities like Phnom Penh, 'ngongit slop' is most often associated with the frequent power outages (dach phleung) that occur during the dry season. Poets use 'ngongit slop' to describe the 'darkness of the heart' or a period of national suffering, contrasting it with the 'light' of wisdom. Darkness is often equated with 'Avidya' (ignorance). 'Ngongit slop' represents the state of a mind that has not yet found the path to enlightenment.
