Speaking of the legendary life experience of this king, it is still very attractive to people, Qu Lihua has not heard of it before, this is the first time Qu Lihua has heard such a story, I thought that it was very enviable to be born in the royal family, but I didn't expect to be born in the royal family, so many things have happened, and everything can't go as I wish.

Robin said: "The poor have the troubles of the poor, the rich have the troubles of the rich, each has its own troubles, this may be life, we can't choose our own birth, we can't choose our parents, but we can try our best to do the best we can to change our destiny." ”

"Frederick the Great, whose life was governed by principles and national interests, suffered indelibly from the unattainable ideals of becoming a musician or poet as a young man, and he had to endure the death of his best friend, accept political marriages, and submit to the role assigned to him by the times in order to fulfill the expectations of his father and the kingdom. ”

"Frederick the Great set an example for us, before his wings were full, he knew how to forbear, although he compromised on the surface, but after he ascended to the throne, he was in power, and he changed the rules appointed by his father. ”

His father could no longer control his life, and from the day Frederick the Great ascended the throne, he began to write his new life. ”

"During the reign of Frederick the Great, the Kingdom of Prussia was eyed by Europe for its military strength, and he was deeply immersed in the ideas of the Enlightenment, but he was not as warlike as his father, Frederick the Great liked literature, and he was still a very Sven person, and he was completely different from his father in his bones. ”

In the Kingdom of Prussia, literature and art were patronage, and he was regarded as a representative of the European Enlightenment and the Enlightened Monarchy. ”

In 1745, Frederick the Great ordered the construction of a delightful palace in Potsdam, and based on his artistic interest and personal needs, he rejected the designer's proposal for a single-storey majestic building and sketched the palace himself, choosing 'garden and wine' as the central theme. ”

This palace is the famous Sanssouci Palace, named Sanssoucian, which shows that Frederick the Great also hoped to live a carefree and happy life without worries. ”

In order to escape from the constraints of the court, Frederick the Great created an idyllic architectural atmosphere on which he hoped that his youthful personality and hobbies would be entrusted. ”

"He was born in the royal family, he had a lot of things, he couldn't help it, he admired freedom, but he couldn't get it, he liked literature, he liked music, this hobby, deeply influenced him, he met with the musician Bach, the philosopher Voltaire, played the flute for people at banquets, and temporarily stayed away from his horse career. ”

Only in this palace, he feels that he is living for himself, can take off his mask, be himself happily, and in this palace, he can temporarily forget his troubles, forget those unsatisfactory things, and relax his whole body. ”

Sanssouci Palace is an important palace of Frederick the Great, but also the external artistic expression of his spiritual world, Sanssouci Palace is the 18th century German royal palace and garden, located in the northern suburbs of Potsdam, Germany, for King Frederick II of Prussia to imitate the French Palace of Versailles built. ”

"The entire palace and gardens cover an area of 90 hectares, and it is also called the palace on the dunes because it was built on a sand dune. ”

"Sanssouci Palace is the essence of 18th-century German architecture, all the construction work lasted for 50 years, although the war, but never suffered from artillery bombardment, it is still very well preserved, in this rococo grand palace, there is a Chinese tea pavilion is the most eye-catching. ”

"I've already led everyone to visit before, I wonder if you still have any impressions?" Robin looked at everyone with a smile.

Head Xia Yuxiang nodded, "Yes, we have been there before, and I still remember that there was a Chinese tea pavilion, it seems that when I was with my head, Chinese culture had spread to Germany." ”

Robin nodded, "Yes, the admiration of Chinese culture was all the rage in the Enlightenment, and Frederick the Great, who was deeply influenced by the ideas of the Enlightenment, was also full of yearning for China at that time, he personally designed this tea pavilion and commissioned the famous architect John Gottfried Brin to build it. ”

"At that time, I was very yearning for the mysterious East, because I was not familiar with it, and I was very eager to know that people on one side of the earth wanted to know that on the other side of the earth, in another different country, the two countries also had trade exchanges, and Chinese merchants came here and brought Chinese porcelain, tea, and silk to Europe. ”

He sought inspiration from Chinese porcelain and built the Meissen porcelain manufactory in Germany, keen to improve porcelain materials into building materials, using the Rococo style that was popular at the time, and finally presented the Chinese tea pavilion. ”

In 1763, Frederick the Great returned from the Seven Years' War, and the Chinese Tea Pavilion in Sanssouci Palace was finally completed. ”

He was very pleased to see that the Chinese Tea Pavilion was completed, the main body of which is connected by three small mushroom-shaped rooms, with an umbrella-like roof similar to a yurt, using traditional Chinese green tiles and golden pillars, and a traditional Chinese incense tripod placed in front of the pavilion. ”

"The style of construction is completely different from the Gothic architecture familiar to Europe, with an oriental charm and a very novel furnishings, Frederick the Great was very happy, it was built according to his preferences, and the Chinese tea pavilion has been preserved. ”

Frederick the Great's aesthetic tastes were not unique to Europe at the time, so they were often interpreted as wishful thinking as a yearning for Chinese culture in Europeans. ”

Meng Wenjie said: "This is also understandable, people always yearn for a country far away from themselves, yearning for something they don't understand, feel mysterious, and full of curiosity, Chinese culture is broad and profound, but it has a strong attraction, Europeans want to understand Chinese culture." ”

However, Frederick the Great may not be able to truly appreciate the deep connotation of Chinese culture like Voltaire, the Chinese tea pavilion is not just a building, its surface decoration is Frederick the Great from the Chinese elements he could collect at that time, representative porcelain inspiration, asked craftsmen to design according to his imagination, representing the European imagination of the Orient at that time. ”

"Reflecting the spiritual outlook of the Europeans of that era, the mysterious East is far away, in European legends, the East is a paradise, in China there are no troubles, no worries, only happiness, is a happy king, people are extremely yearning, especially the dreamy luster of porcelain and the ethereal posture of silk are representative. ”
