Head Xia Yuxiang nodded, "Westerners like to use oil paintings as decoration, and they are also influenced by the Renaissance. ”

Meng Wenjie nodded, "Yes, the medieval style is still prominent, we just came in, and left a deep impression on me, the entrance, windows, columns, colonnades, etc. are all semi-circular head arches, which is one of the characteristics of Romanesque architecture." ”

"At the back there is an arch on the wall, called the blind arch, under the eaves and under the window, with a series of blind arches with small round heads, followed by several of the king's living rooms, all of which are Gothic buildings and decorated with frescoes painted by characters from Wagner's operas. ”

"Between the king's living room and the servant's room there is an artificial stalactite cave, which is the cave of the legendary goddess Venus of Tonjose. ”

Qu Lihua said: "I found that Europe was very influenced by Greek mythology, and they very much like to use the characters from Greek mythology as sculptures and place them in the room to decorate, so that they can have some artistic atmosphere. ”

Robin nodded, "Yes, European sculptures are very famous, these countries in Europe are still closely related, some cultures have similarities, there are many statues of goddesses in Greek mythology, and everyone has some preferences for the goddess Venus, and it is also very good to see her sculpture here." ”

"I also noticed that we went to a lot of countries, Hungary, France, Italy, and they liked to decorate their buildings with waterfalls and fountains," Meng said. ”

Robin nodded, "Yes, if you just use marble and granite to build a building, it looks too old-fashioned, or use some fountains and pools to make the building look more flexible and interesting, people also like fountains, they think they are popular, there are many young people who like to take pictures, and the decoration effect is very good." ”

Neuschwanstein Castle was also like this, with its waterfalls and pools, and the use of cutting-edge electric lights and swirling stained glass at the time, which was originally intended to be a dream-like illumination, but unfortunately it was not completed, and the king died.

Of course, although the king's life was very difficult, it was still very touching to visit the palace he built during his lifetime, and Robin took everyone to visit this magnificent palace again, with a mosaic floor depicting an ellipse in the shape of a globe, with animal and plant motifs on it.

The motifs are all in the medieval style, some of them look more solemn and some are interesting, the dome of the palace symbolizes the stars in the sky moving in the same direction as the sun, and the chandelis made of gold-colored brass plates, which is sharply shaped like a Byzantine crown.

The lamps are also inlaid with replicas made of glass stone and ivory, which can be lit with candles and hung between heaven and earth to symbolize the king's position.

This is also in honor of the king, if he had not designed and built it, there would be no castle, and future generations would not be able to visit it, and this castle has become one of Germany's most iconic attractions and a landmark.

Iron chains and a movable pulley lock were installed at the top of the auditorium, possibly to raise and lower the dendritic stand to the floor as a way to clean it or replace used night lighting.

This was repaired by later generations, and there was no such design during the king's lifetime, and the lighting equipment was gradually added later.

The lower pillars of the throne hall are porphyry painted with purple stucco, while the upper part is painted with blue-gold stucco.

Leaving the doors of the palace, you can see a number of heated centers built into the floor, five large heating stoves installed on the first floor, supplying the interior of the main castle of the complex with proper geothermal heat, the king's apartments, and the additional built-in tiled stove.

Qu Lihua asked Robin why he designed it this way, and Robin explained.

"Because the winter in Germany is relatively cold, if it is only by the indoor temperature, people can't stand it, or will add a fireplace to bake the fire, at that time the technology is not as advanced as modern times, or need to build a fireplace to heat, so this design is for winter heating. ”

Qu Lihua nodded, "Yes, in those days, there could be no air conditioners, and there were no heaters, so I still relied on the fireplace and burned wood to keep warm, which was a very old method, but it worked very well." ”

The view from the balcony is mostly of the beautiful Bavarian countryside, with the crystal clear Alpine Lake on the left and the smaller Swan Lake on the right.

From the balcony, you can also relax and look at the scenery in the distance, and people feel more comfortable.

Standing here, everyone seems to be able to understand the mood of this king at that time, maybe he was distressed by some troubles at that time, and being able to stand on the balcony and look into the distance is a way to decompress yourself.

Behind the two lakes is the Alps, on the border between Germany and Austria, and after passing the Alps along the wooded hills, between the Neuschwanstein Castle and the Alps, an important trade route built by the Romans in the Middle Ages as a route to Rome and then to Italy.

"This is a very important route, Germany, England, France, Italy, very close, these countries influence each other, have similar cultures, but also different, but always related, the development of trade is very necessary, at that time there were many merchants, trying to cross the ocean, to trade in other countries. ”

Xia Yuxiang heard Robin say this, and also nodded, agreeing with Robin's point of view.

"Yes, it is impossible for a country to close itself off, and the development of trade is also the trend of the times, and there was trade at that time, but people's concepts are still very old, and they have not yet realized the community of human destiny, and our current concept is much more advanced than that of people in the Middle Ages. ”

"How's the traffic here?" Qu Lihua asked Robin.

Robin said: "It's still very convenient, from Augsburg to Füssen, scientific research by train, the scenery along the way makes people reverie, there are trees, flowers, the natural environment is still well maintained, like a fairyland on earth where the ancient folklore about magic, kings, knights, and the boundless primeval forest, the tender hillside, Herds of cattle and sheep roaming on the boundless green fields, snow-covered Alps and endless lakes are also a major feature here, and I can take you to see it, I believe you will love it. ”

Qu Lihua followed Robin and Xia Yuxiang out of the castle, when she first came, she felt very mysterious, after learning about the history of this castle, especially knowing the legendary life of this king, she always felt that this castle added a sense of heaviness, unfinished dreams, waited for so many years, and finally let the descendants help to complete, and you can also comfort this king, he will feel very relieved to see it.

Everyone followed Captain Xia Yuxiang and Robin slowly down the mountain, the wind blew gently, the leaves swayed, and the sound of "rustling" also made Qu Lihua feel a little sad.

Neuschwanstein Castle still stands proudly in the forest, as if it is like a white swan, after all the hardships, it still holds its head proudly high, surrounded by green trees, it looks so unique.
