After visiting the Louvre, Professor Abner took everyone to visit the Arc de Triomphe.

"When you come to Paris, you must go to the Arc de Triomphe, which is also a landmark building in France, with a long history and great monumental significance!"

The Arc de Triomphe is located in the middle of Place Charles de Gaulle in Paris, France, at the western end of the Champs-Élysées.

Qu Lihua said: "Professor Abner, tell us about the history of the Arc de Triomphe!"

"Well, in 1806, Napoleon, in commemoration of his victory over the Russian-Austrian coalition in 1805, ordered the construction of a great sculpture to welcome the victorious French soldiers. ”

After 30 years on and off, the Arc de Triomphe was finally inaugurated on July 29, 1836. ”

"So it's not easy, you can see that this triumphal arch has gone through the vicissitudes of time, we are now standing in front of this kind of gate, you can watch it up close, if you don't understand anything, you can also ask me. ”

Qu Lihua stood in front of this gate, looking at this majestic building, listening to Professor Abner's introduction, and was also very curious, the Arc de Triomphe, as its name suggests, is a gate to welcome the triumph of the army that went out to fight, it is the largest round arch in the world today, located in the center of Paris Charles de Gaulle Square in the center of the roundabout, this square is also built with the Lion Triumphal Arch, there are a lot of tourists, are admiring the visit, there are a lot of tourists, have held cameras and mobile phones, want to leave a group photo.

On the walls of the piers on both sides of the Arc de Triomphe, there are four groups of large reliefs with the theme of war: "Expedition", "Victory", "Peace" and "Resistance", some of which are five or six meters high, and there are doors on all sides of the Arc de Triomphe, and the names of the soldiers who followed Napoleon's expedition are engraved on the door.

The 12 avenues of Paris are centered on the Arc de Triomphe, radiating to all sides, which is a magnificent design model for large European cities.

It can be seen the importance of the Arc de Triomphe, Qu Lihua stands here, and you can also feel that Napoleon led the triumphant soldiers to pass through here in the past, and many people in the French city stood on both sides of the Arc de Triomphe and cheered together.

Xia Yuxiang said: "The Arc de Triomphe in Paris is a representative building of the imperial style, the rise of this style and Napoleon's advocacy has an inseparable relationship, its rise and fall have always been closely linked to Napoleon's fate, these buildings are inspired and model by the majestic and solemn architecture of the Roman Empire. ”

"Yes, although many years have passed, and the smoke of the past war is long gone, that period of history has been preserved along with these historical relics, and future generations can come to pay respects and commemorate it!" Professor Abner said.

"We French people often come here to see, the Arc de Triomphe still has a symbolic meaning in the minds of our French, every citizen wants his country to be strong and prosperous, this Arc de Triomphe symbolizes the Napoleonic era, leading the French soldiers to conquer the West, to achieve victory, triumphant return, inspiring. ”

Although Napoleon's empire also rose and fell, and everyone knows that the myth of Napoleon's invincibility was shattered at the Battle of Waterloo, it did not affect the French people to commemorate the glory of the Napoleonic era. ”

The Arc de Triomphe is made of marble stele as the main material, they are huge in scale, simple in appearance, and pursue the majesty, calm and majesty of the image, the Arc de Triomphe in Paris is based on the ancient Roman Arc de Triumph as an example, but its scale is more grandiose, and the structural style is more concise.

In addition to the eaves, walls and wall foundations, the whole building does not make any big divisions, does not use columns, even the buttresses are also omitted, and there are no lines, the triumphal arch abandons the multiple arch shapes of the Roman triumphal arch, and only sets up one arch coupon, which is simple and solemn.

The giant reliefs are topped by six flat reliefs, each telling the story of an important event in the history of France during the Napoleonic period.

The funeral of General Maheso, the Battle of Abuqi, the forced crossing of the Akhgaule Bridge, the capture of Aleksandri, the Battle of Remmapus, the Battle of Austerlitz.

Looking at the portraits on the reliefs, Qu Lihua can also imagine the difficulty of each battle, Napoleon commanded the French soldiers to kill the enemy bravely, the reason why these representative battles can be carved on the relief, there must be their reason.

The Arc de Triomphe has an elevator that leads to the 50-metre-high arch, and a 273-step spiral stone staircase leads up to a small historical museum with pictures and documents on the history of the Arc de Triomphe's construction, as well as pictures of Napoleon's life.

Napoleon was born in Corsica, he was a great French military strategist and statesman in the 19th century, and the founder of the First French Empire.

"Speaking of the personal experience of this French emperor, it is really legendary!"

Xia Yuxiang, the head of the regiment, introduced to everyone: "Napoleon, as an 'outsider' from a remote and colonial Corsica, when he was in school, the short Napoleon was often bullied by other native students, but he was very tenacious and tenacious, through his unremitting efforts, he finally won the respect of many native students, and his talent was shown at that time, Napoleon showed extraordinary talent in mathematics, especially geometry. ”

After graduating from Brienne with honors, Napoleon was selected to study artillery at the École des Officers in Paris, France. ”

At the age of 16, his father died, and Napoleon, who came from a poor family, graduated early, entered the Raphael Regiment and was awarded the rank of second lieutenant in artillery. ”

So from this we can also be inspired, but whoever has made a difference in history, when he was young, he loved to learn, and he himself was very focused on his field of interest, and he had great ambitions, and he was always working hard to achieve his ideals, even in the face of difficulties and setbacks. ”

"Courage and strength are essential qualities of a great man, and Napoleon was no exception, and despite his small stature, this did not prevent him from achieving great success. ”

"It was not easy to overcome the interests of all parties within France due to the unpredictable political situation in France, which was seized in the early years of the French Revolution by the constitutional monarchists, who represented the interests of the bourgeoisie and the liberal aristocracy, and who established a constitutional monarchy. ”

"Napoleon was an excellent military strategist, who studied the military knowledge of the time and was good at applying various military tactics to actual combat, especially advocating the centralized use of artillery and giving full play to the mobile role of cavalry. ”

"After years of competition and games, Napoleon emerged, he stepped onto the French political stage, created the Napoleonic era, which is very important for France, any change, is an earth-shaking change, this is unstoppable, but also the direction of history, the will of the people, many factors condensed together to form the common result. ”
