Speaking of the history of the city, Professor Abner was also very emotional.

"Nantes got its name from the Nantes language, and the Nantes, a branch of the first Gauls, founded their capital here, originally as a town of a Celtic tribe. ”

"Nantes was then invaded by the Saxons, the Franks and the Britons, this history, French history textbooks are recorded, you have to know that a good city will be fought for by the people around it, everyone wants to grab good territory, no one wants barren mountains and mountains, that kind of place, too desolate, no one wants!"

"Nantes has a good climate, neither cold nor hot, no heat, no cold winter, and there are no large mountain ranges, the terrain is flat, very suitable for human habitation, there are a lot of people in the West, don't think that only we are in China, there are many talents, in fact, there are many people everywhere in the world, and there will be fights. ”

"If you want to grab territory, you will invade, and the side that always wins the war will come to invade and plunder the land of the weaker side, this kind of history has been played out in many countries, and we have read too much in the history books. ”

"The indigenous peoples were the Celts, the Romans, the Franks, and the Normans, all of whom occupied the area one after another. ”

"As a result of years of war, Nantes will remain barren, ruined and full of thorns many years later. ”

In 937, Aaron II, the grandson of the last Brittany king, Aaron I, expelled the Vikings who occupied Brittany and became the first Duke of Brittany. ”

In 1532, it was officially incorporated into the Kingdom of France, and in 1560 Nantes became a duchy under the authority of Francis II, and it was only after that the city became truly French territory. ”

"After World War II, there was a massive reconstruction, with rivers and roads, railways running through the city centre, and ports gradually restored. Under the unified planning of the state, Nantes became an economic center. ”

"In the late 20th century, industry began to emerge and the port had a three-kilometre-long quayside and a river channel that began to be dredged to allow large ships to pass through, complementing the port of Saint-Nazaire. ”

"It's the history of the city, it's in the history books of France, and French students learn this when they study history, and I, as a history professor, tell my students about this history. ”

"Like many cities, each city has its own history, although the situation of each city is different, but it is similar, a good place always has to be fought for, if the terrain is flat, the climate is good, the resources are abundant, the economy is easy to develop the place, it is easy to be contested, human beings are actually the same, no matter what country, what nation, as long as it is a human being, there is a selfish side of human beings, for their own selfish interests, it is inevitable to invade. ”

"Aggression will lead to war, France has also experienced a lot of victories, from a historical point of view, the king of France lived a very luxurious life, whether it is food, or clothing, or the palace where he lived, it was extremely luxurious, while ordinary people, but even eating is a problem, the gap between the rich and the poor is too big, it will cause dissatisfaction, so France later triggered the French Revolution, France also experienced World War II, World War II brought many countries suffering, it was a large-scale war in the world, affecting the lives of many countries and many people. ”

"The brutal victory and the ruthless killing have left the people displaced, left their homes, wandered everywhere, and the death toll is staggering. ”

"So I often advise young people to read more history, many young people do not understand the importance of history, always feel that history is long gone, the current era is different from before, but as a history professor, I think that although the historical dynasties are different, but many historical figures and history are still worth our re-study, and then re-read, every time I read the history book again, I always have different feelings. ”

"History is like a mirror, you will learn a lot of useful knowledge from history, which we can still learn from today, and the experience of our predecessors has been passed down and become the common wealth of our mankind!"

Professor Abner expressed a lot of thoughts, and everyone was fascinated by it, and Qu Lihua applauded.

"Professor Abner, thank you for teaching us so much, every time we listen to your lectures, we are a learning, we have benefited a lot, really thank you!"

"Miss Qu, you're welcome, I'm just talking casually, I'll take you to take a look, let's get off the car and visit. ”

"Everyone keep up, get out of the car carefully, be careful not to bump into each other!" Xia Yuxiang, the head of the regiment, reminded everyone to get off the car one by one.

"Nantes and the Loire Atlantique have historically belonged to Brittany, and the area around Nantes has always been considered part of Brittany, and you see it's all green and green!" Professor Abner pointed to the trees on the side of the street.

"It's really good, it's beautiful!"

The Loire Atlantique belongs to Breton culturally, historically and geographically, and linguistic issues are also relevant, and in the eastern part of Brittany, French and its derivatives, such as Gaul, have a greater influence than Breton.

However, in many large cities, including Nantes and Saint-Brieuc, Breton is widely spoken, and in recent years, bilingual plaques have appeared in the city to attract tourists.

Meng Wenjie looked up and smiled, "Ouch, fortunately there is Professor Abner, otherwise I really wouldn't understand!"

Qu Lihua said: "I can't understand it either, I still need Professor Abner's translation!"

Nantes is the sixth largest city in France and the largest city in western France, surpassing its rival Bordeaux in terms of size, population and economy, and leaving its neighbors Rennes, Angers and La Rochelle far behind. Historically, Nantes has also been an important commercial and cultural center in Brittany.

The Loire region, where Nantes is located, is one of France's leading producers of specialty agricultural products, but with the development of agricultural mechanization, the number of agricultural producers in this region is decreasing and decreasing.

Nantes is the largest industrial city in western France. Nantes-Saint-Nazaire is also an important industrial production site in France.

Nantes is the largest industrial and commercial center in western France, and the middle class mainly lives around the city, so the per capita income level of Nantes is not high in terms of individual municipalities.

The affluent areas of Nantes are mainly located in the northeastern part of the city, including the Lower Valley Land, 6 km east of Nantes.

The appearance of the vehicle, the mode of operation, the density of departures, and the stops are almost identical to urban traffic. In France, similar lines can be found in Paris, Lyon, Mulhouse, etc., and in China, the S2 line of the Beijing suburban railway is similar.
