Chapter 320: Germanic Tribes
Robin said: "Germany is still very strong, but also very suitable for living here, our family lives in Germany, during the New Year's holidays, I also pick up my mother-in-law's family to live in Germany, together for a vacation, enjoy leisure time, I think the family together, happy life, or very important, the family is happy, the mood will be good." ”
"I don't like those families who quarrel endlessly for a little trivial things in life, I think that kind of family can't go far, always quarreling, different views, it will hurt feelings, although it is a little thing, leaving a mustard in my heart, and the two sides have a bad estrangement. ”
Qu Lihua nodded, "Yes, Robin is right, you are quite cheerful, I now understand why your mother-in-law likes you so much." ”
"Hahaha, maybe, I treat my mother-in-law as my mother, even better than my biological mother, after I became independent, my mother rarely cared about me, German family education is still very democratic, children grow up and are independent, parents rarely interfere with children, I have enough freedom, I can live with them after marriage, or I can move out alone. ”
"I have now bought a small three-storey house to live in with my wife, which is not far from my parents' house, and we can take care of each other. ”
"How is your wife getting along with your parents?" Qu Lihua was a little curious.
"My wife was not used to eating Western food when she came to Germany, she is Chinese, she still likes to eat Chinese food, our family is also very open-minded, will not force her to eat Western food like us, she can go to the kitchen to cook her favorite Chinese food alone, we can also sit together, eat Chinese food together, or eat Western food." ”
"This can be discussed, I think that after getting married, although we have cultural differences, we can understand more, tolerate more, get along with encouragement and support, and the husband and wife can live together for a long time. ”
"In life, are you humble to your wife more, or is your wife humble to you more?" Qu Lihua asked again.
"Hehe, of course I'm more humble to my wife, I'm a man, I still have this gentlemanly demeanor!"
"Hahaha......" everyone laughed.
Everyone was very interesting to hear Robin said, and they were all fascinated, and as they walked forward, they asked Robin what traditional festivals there are in Germany?
Robin replied with a smile, "There are still many festivals in Germany, such as carnival and many beer festivals, and there are music festivals with a wide range of spans from classical to rock, which is a beautiful landscape in German culture." ”
"Germans like to drink beer?" Qu Lihua smiled, "Mr. Robin, how much do you drink?"
Robin nodded, "Yes, Germans like beer very much, Russians like to drink vodka, we Germans like to drink beer, I still drink quite a good amount, we Germans eat every day, there is beer on the table, and the beer is a big glass, we drink beer as water, a drink is really thirst-quenching." ”
When it came to Germans, Qu Lihua was interested, she wanted to know what kind of tribes and races Germans had, and with this question, she asked Robin.
Robin said: "Nationally German, with a small number of Danes and Sorbians, the lingua franca and official language are German, and the people living in Germany are deeply influenced by cultural diversity, inclusive and open, but also committed to creating a modern and international atmosphere. ”
"At this point, I would like to introduce some German history, which I believe you have learned in textbooks, and I will introduce you in some details. ”
"The activities of the Germanic tribes were first recorded in the Roman Empire, but these Germanic tribes were not the same as the German nation today. ”
"Germanic tribes are ethnic groups that originally inhabited the southern part of Scandinavia, including Denmark, and its neighboring regions, and whose cultures and religions were so close that they became a cultural sphere, with language, ancestry, habits, culture, and beliefs as indicators of the ethnic group. ”
"These ethnic groups multiplied, and they have been passed down from generation to generation, forming a very prosperous ethnic group, and the head of Xia Tuan also said that where there are people, there is popularity, and when the ethnic groups gather together, it has become a specific culture and habit, and many historians have also studied it. ”
"There are also a lot of history books on this aspect, so if you're interested, you can go to the bookstore and find them, and it's interesting to study them. ”
Historians divide these mobile Germanic tribes roughly into three broad categories: West Germanic, East Germanic, and North Germanic. ”
"The West Germanic people are the people who lived from the Rhine in the west, the Veser in the east, the Danube in the south, and the North Sea in the north in the first century, and the West Germans later formed the English, Dutch, and Germans. ”
Qu Lihua listened to it with relish, Robin has a wide range of knowledge and knows a lot, she doesn't know much about Germany, and she has a very fresh concept of ethnic groups, which she has not studied before, listening to Robin's introduction, she still thinks it is quite fresh.
It's just that she can't remember that Robin explained so many ethnic groups to Meng Wenjie next to her.
In central and southern Germany there were the Suebi, Hermonduri, Charty, and Alemanni peoples, in the north there were Angles, Saxons, Jutes, Teutons, Kinbries, and Fries, and in the west there were Franks.
In the 21st century, there are still clear local differences within the German nation, and according to the characteristics of dialects, culture and customs, Bavarians, Mecklenburgs, Saxons and Hesses can be distinguished.
Robin said: "I will introduce it here, I will not expand on the specifics, if you are interested, you can read the relevant books, and then I will talk about the climate of Germany, I believe you have been to many European countries, their climate is slightly different from Germany." ”
"Germany is located in a cool westerly zone between the continental climates of the eastern Atlantic and has a predominantly temperate climate, while the northern part of Germany has a predominantly oceanic climate, gradually transitioning to a continental climate in the southeast. ”
"Germany has a pleasant climate with even rainfall spread over the four seasons, which is why every season in Germany is a great time to visit with its own unique scenery. ”
"The climate in Germany is still very livable, I live in Germany, and I feel that Germany is not as cold as Russia in winter, I have also been to Russia, especially in winter, they are so cold there, I can't stand it, so when I study abroad, I still choose to study in China instead of studying in Russia. ”
"Climate is also one of the most important considerations for me, finding a suitable place to live is really very important, we humans do not have fur like animals, we humans can only rely on clothes and electrical appliances to keep warm, Russia is really not suitable for people like me who are afraid of cold, I still like the hot weather, I think the climate in Germany and the climate in China, I personally still like it very much, not too cold, not too hot. ”
