Oliver said: "There are still many attractions in Milan, such as the Milan Cathedral, Piazza Duomo, Sforza Castle, Santa Maria Monastery, Santa Ambrose Church, La Scala Opera House, Brera Palace of Fine Arts, Emanuele II Gallery, etc., due to time constraints, we can't go to them all, I discussed with Head Xia and decided to choose a few representative attractions to visit." ”

"Where are we going next?"

"Don't worry, everyone, I'll discuss it with Head Xia!"

Oliver and Head Xia Yuxiang discussed for a while before deciding to take everyone to Sforza Castle and then to visit the Convent of Santa Maria.

Head Xia Yuxiang said: "We have been to many churches, we have a certain understanding of the church, we will not go to the church, I will take you to a few different places, I hope you can have different feelings." ”

"We went to Sforza Castle because the place is very old, and I want everyone to see what the old castle is like!"

Oliver nodded, "The vehicle is ready, everyone get in the car!"

The team members got into the car one by one, Oliver helped everyone put away their luggage, and the car started slowly.

When everyone arrived, after getting off the bus, head Xia Yuxiang took everyone to visit, and an ancient castle was displayed in front of everyone, Qu Lihua looked at it curiously.

Oliver told everyone that Sfordzä Castle has a long history, it has been a castle since the 14th century, and it has been expanded and built to become what you see today, and Sforza Castle is one of the largest castles in Europe.

The castle was rebuilt by the Count of Sforza and later became the residence of the Sforza family. ”

While listening to Oliver's explanation, Qu Lihua looked up, due to the age, the outer wall of the castle left the mark of the years, the whole castle is square enclosed, there is a large park, there are high walls around it, the outer wall is dark gray, the lower part is rectangular, the upper part is a circular column, the reconstructed part has been painted, the color of the outer wall is brick red, the pale yellow wall, the green grass is laid next to it, and a wooden bridge has been built not far away.

The layout is very chic, Oliver tells everyone that this castle is an important building in Milan and a symbol of the vicissitudes of the city's history.

There are museums, libraries, and sculpture halls in the castle, displaying sculptures, furniture, paintings and other works of art.

"Next, I'll take you to visit the Convent of Santa Maria, you must be familiar with this monastery, you've heard of its name before, right?"

"Yes, I've seen it in some film and television works, and I've always wanted to see it!" Qu Lihua was interested.

"Let's go, everybody, get in the car!"

Everyone got on the bus and rushed to the convent of Santa Maria.

The Monastery of Santa Maria is located in Piazza Santa Maria in Milan, Italy, and on the north wall of the church restaurant is the painting "The Last Supper" by the famous painter Leonardo da Vinci.

"Everyone must be familiar with 'The Last Supper', right?' Who doesn't know this famous painting?" asked head Xia Yuxiang.

Everyone said that they had heard of it for a long time, Qu Lihua said: "This oil painting is very famous, I was in junior high school, our art teacher introduced it in class, this is da Vinci's famous masterpiece." ”

"Yes, when I was in school, our art teacher also explained in detail that this masterpiece is very well-known in the world, and I also want to see the original with my own eyes. ”

The construction of the Royal Monastery of Santa Maria Maggiore began in the 13th century, when a shepherd accidentally excavated the statue of Our Lady of Guadalupe near the Guadalupe River, after which it was decided to build a small chapel, at first to store the statue, and later because of the belief in God, the army was victorious, and people felt that it was the statue of Our Lady in the monastery that played a role and blessed Italy, and they believed it even more.

"I found that people in the world are similar, and there are many people who can't reach it, so they believe in immortals!" Qu Lihua said.

Head Xia Yuxiang smiled, "No one knows if there are immortals in this world, I have been educated since I was a child, and I am atheist." ”

Meng Wenjie also smiled, "At that time, people's thinking was still very backward and superstitious, especially when manpower could not meet expectations, people were very willing to believe in the gods, hoping to win through the blessing of the gods." ”

Qu Lihua also smiled, "Those successful people are all mythical and legendary, Greek mythology is like this, and Western religions are also like this, after having gods, they are becoming more and more deified!"

Oliver smiled, "This is the charm of religion, believing in gods, there are also benefits, religion is to persuade people to be good, give people a place to repent, in front of God, everyone is equal, what regrets, what bad things have been done, in front of the gods, you can give you the opportunity to repent, you can't say it outside, you can confess to the gods, so that people's souls have a purification process, or to educate people to be kind, religion is used well, and to some extent it can also reduce the crime rate." ”

"Of course, that's for people who have the ability to self-reflect and aren't too bad, and if it's a heinous criminal, then it's only punished by the law. ”

Head Xia Yuxiang nodded, "I think a perfect society has a perfect legal system, perfect social operation laws and rules, morality and religious beliefs have played a role, coupled with the supervision of the society, the supervision of the people, in order to promote the development of the society, of course, it is not very perfect, it is also relatively speaking, step by step continuous correction, improvement, and gradually improve and improve." ”

"Let's take a look at this monastery again, Oliver, and you can continue to introduce it to everyone!" said Head Xia Yuxiang.

"Well, this huge royal abbey has a distinctly distinctive style, with buildings built in various historical periods, and the Gothic main church, which is richly decorated from the inside out. ”

For this style, Qu Lihua is already very familiar with the Gothic church, Xia Yuxiang has taken everyone to visit a lot before, this kind of church looks very solemn, with the solemnity and elegance of the Western royal family, in order to highlight the dignity, the decoration is extremely luxurious.

Oliver told everyone that this is because Westerners believe in God more, and the higher the roof, the closer they believe in God.

Due to its historical heritage, the building itself has a high artistic value and shows the evolution of architectural history over the centuries.

The natural environment creates a beautiful backdrop for these magnificent architectural masterpieces, and the picturesque scenery from afar adds a bit of enchantment and beauty to these buildings, especially at sunrise or sunset, when the sun falls on the roof of the church, with a divine light, which looks unique.
