Strasbourg, a city in northeastern France, the capital of the Grand Est region and the capital of the Bas-Rhine department, is also the seventh largest city and the largest border city in France.

Professor Abner was very emotional, "There are many cities in France, the eight cities I brought you to are very famous and very important cities in France, if you want to understand a country, you have to go to a few more places to see, you have an ancient saying in China, 'read ten thousand books, travel ten thousand miles', the principle is the same, I also agree with this point of view, I think young people should take advantage of their youth to see more, broaden their horizons, and learn more about the world!"

"To introduce the city, let's start with the geographical location, the city is located on the west bank of the Rhine, across the river from the German state of Baden-Württemberg on the east, and the Vosges Mountains on the west. ”

Strasbourg is bordered by the Vosges Mountains to the west, the German Black Forest to the east, the Agno Forest to the north and the Rhine Plain to the south. ”

"To the east of the city used to be Germany, France is very close to Germany, and there are many countries bordering France, Belgium, Luxembourg, Germany, Switzerland, Italy, Spain, Andorra, Monaco. ”

"The terrain of France is high in the southeast and low in the northwest, roughly hexagonal, facing water on three sides, bordering the Mediterranean Sea in the south, the Atlantic Ocean in the west, and facing the United Kingdom across the English Channel in the northwest, Corsica is the largest island in France. ”

"The western part of the French mainland has an oceanic temperate broad-leaved forest climate, the southern part has a subtropical Mediterranean climate, and the central and eastern parts have a continental climate. ”

"Strasbourg is a city in northeastern France, Strasbourg is one of the cities in mainland France farthest from the ocean, but it is still affected by the air flow from the Atlantic Ocean and has a temperate maritime climate. ”

"However, the continentalism is more pronounced here, with hotter summers with occasional extreme heat, and cold, long winters with a lot of snowfall. ”

"I heard Captain Xia Yuxiang say, you come from many cities in China, Captain Xia is from Beijing, Miss Qu is from Shanghai, Xiao Meng is also from the south, Captain Xia is from the north, can adapt to the slightly colder weather in the north, I don't know Miss Qu and Xiao Meng, you are all southerners, can you adapt to the cold of the north?"

Qu Lihua smiled and shook her head, "I must be afraid of the cold, the winter in Shanghai is not cold, sometimes it is still a warm winter, it rarely snows in Shanghai, it is rare to see snow in Shanghai, Shanghai is very hot in summer, when I was a child, there was no air conditioner, and there was no electric fan, my grandmother sat in the yard, relying on a puff fan to spend a summer, at that time there were a lot of mosquitoes, biting my arm, I still remember." ”

"Now life is much better than before, there are electric mosquito coils, every household has also bought electric fans and air conditioners, maybe too much air conditioning, the heat is discharged outside, resulting in the weather is getting hotter and hotter, the heat is too hard, especially office workers, they have to go to work every day, and the winter is better, just wear more clothes, wear hats and gloves, no matter how cold you are, you are not afraid. ”

"But in the summer, the outdoor high temperature of more than 30 degrees, sometimes exposed, in the sun, 40 degrees of high temperature, really can't stand it, I still admire those who insist on sending express brothers, sweat is soaked through clothes, in order to make a living, busy all day long, it is not easy. ”

Professor Abner nodded, "The heat is really hard!"

Meng Wenjie asked: "The city is very close to Germany, will it be influenced by Germany?"

Professor Abner nodded, "Strasbourg has a long history, and Germany and France have alternated sovereignty over Strasbourg many times throughout history, so Strasbourg is a meeting place of these two different cultures, both linguistically and culturally. ”

"The name of Strasbourg in ancient times came from the language of the first Celts who lived there, but it has also been used since the Romans occupied the area, meaning a hill by the river Il, which means 'city by the river'. ”

"At the end of the 5th century, the Germanic people rebuilt the city and renamed it 'city on the road', because in Germanic times Strasbourg was located on the side of the main road across the Rhine from east to west, and now Strasbourg is the Frenchization of the Germanic language.

"Germany was defeated in World War I, and under the Treaty of Versailles, Strasbourg was reclassified into France. ”

"The previous history, I don't want to expand in detail, it is relatively long, and there are a lot of involvement, if you want to understand, you can go to the history books, we come to this city today, take a walk, take a look, is to understand the current situation, although the history has gone away, but so many years, history and culture will be precipitated, the architectural style still retains the historical relics, people's concepts and living habits have historical and cultural influences. ”

Head Xia Yuxiang nodded, "I also agree with Professor Abner's point of view, Professor Abner, tell us about the importance of this city!"

"Well, this city is still more important, although Strasbourg is only the seventh largest city in France, but it is one of the few cities that is not the capital of a country, but the headquarters of international organizations, like Geneva, New York and Montreal, Strasbourg is located on the border between Germany and France, in the hinterland of the European continent, and it is more convenient to connect with all directions. ”

"Strasbourg has traditionally been a typical shipping and trading city, and in the Middle Ages during the Hanseatic League, Strasbourg arose as the main port of the Rhine Valley, along with Mainz and Frankfurt. ”

After the French occupation of Strasbourg, the Rhine-Marne Canal and the Rhine-Rhône Canal were excavated in the 18th and 19th centuries, both starting from Strasbourg, so that it could easily reach Paris and Lyon by water, and also became a hub for trade between France and Central Europe. ”

"The winemaking and food industry has also developed, and everyone knows that France is very famous for its wines, because of the climate for grape growth, and for good winemakers, and for its foie gras, which is made into foie gras and exported all over the world. ”

"Strasbourg's agriculture has been very modern, the proportion of people engaged in agricultural production is very low, most of them have achieved mechanized operation and automated production, these advanced experience is still worth learning, I know that you China used to be a big agricultural country, many farmers still rely on manual labor in the field to produce, farmers have cattle at home, use cattle to plough the land, there are also tractors, but with mechanized operation and automated production, it is far less advanced than France, I can take you to visit, to see the development of agriculture in France and advanced modern production。 ”
