Chapter 804: Yi Duli
Italy has many famous places like Venice, like Florence, Milan, Turin and of course Rome.
There is also the famous holy place of Van Tegon, which is not an Italian but is also an Italian one, and San Marino.
San Marino is the third smallest country in Europe, with a total area of more than 60 square kilometers and a population of just over 30,000. At that time, when he declared war on the whole world, the population was only a few thousand, and the national army totaled more than 200 people. At that time, Germany carried out indiscriminate bombing of Italy, bombing San Marino, killing more than 60 people and injuring more than 100 people, equivalent to the death of 1 percent of the people.
San Marino is small, but it has been independent for hundreds of years, it has been an internationally recognized country since the time of Napoleon, and it is also the world's first republican state, in 1243, ruled by Catholics and communists. is a member of the United Nations.
San Marino is a mountainous area where a large number of people live, and the castle-style houses built on the hill are the main architectural style here.
Then, on this sixty square kilometers of land, there were nine municipalities.
The people here speak the Italian language, and all aspects of the economy are also heavily dependent on the Italian language. The main income here is tourism and stamp issuance, and his stamps are not in circulation abroad, but they are highly sought after by philatelists from all over the world. This is a country where stamps are not issued for the sake of mail. There are no rivers here, and water is brought in from Italy.
There are no railways, no planes, no ports, and the country's roads are 220 kilometers long, which can be reached by public transportation. About 300 newborns are born here every year, and 200 couples come into the wedding. There is one hospital and six pharmacies in the country.
Visa exemption with China. It's still quite interesting.
The three European sub-divisions are San Marino, Monaco and Van Tegaan. Among them, Van Digang is the smallest, which is equivalent to a closed community in the city from our point of view, and a loud fart can shock the whole country.
I haven't been to Monaco, and it is said that the president there knows every citizen in the country and knows him well.
Eating, drinking, playing, and taking pictures, Zhang Xingming led a group of girls on a satisfactory self-driving trip. At the beginning of July, it is the most beautiful time in Europe, the climate is not hot, the food here is completely acceptable, and the Italian pasta and Italian dumplings are also widely available in the country.
On July 6th, the group finally arrived in Rome. He Juanjuan and her team arrived.
The first impression of the city is the church, as if the whole city is a church. There are more than 700 in total. It was the center of the European Renaissance and the birthplace of the Baroque style.
With a population of more than 3 million in this era, Rome is a veritable megacity in Europe. The temperature here is much hotter and drier than in Bologna. July and August are the hottest months here.
Rome is famous because it was here that many great figures in European history appeared, the ancient Roman Empire, the Roman Empire, Caesar, Constantine, King Lionheart, and here was the starting point of the Crusades. Although these so-called big people and deeds seem a bit like the peasant uprising in a certain county town from our point of view, they must be a vigorous event in Europe and history.
There are always some people in our country who criticize and disdain their own affairs, and then show a strong interest in foreign history, constantly explore, help others praise and publicize.
In fact, at that time, Europe had not yet formed a modern civilization, and it was full of barbarism, brutality, pornography, slavery, looting, and dispossession. And their so-called vigorous war was nothing more than a few hundred or thousands of peasants with sticks and daggers. It's like the so-called Warring States period in Japan, which was actually dozens of peasants fighting in the wilderness.
The Middle Ages in Europe are a bit like the Baiyue of our Great Qin era, let's talk about the state without considering the differences in technology and population weapons.
It was dozens of people who dared to claim the throne in sacks, and the special status of Rome was that this was the Holy See, and all opponents were beheaded or burned to death, and whoever claimed the throne had to be approved by the Pope. This is the so-called goodness and human rights in Europe, but it is nothing more than the tyranny of Chiguoguo.
"Wow, this building is 170 years old. ”
"Wow, this statue has been standing here for one hundred and thirty years, it's so historical, it's great. ”
I don't know if there's anything so good about it, or if it's really ignorant, there are pigsties in China that can find bricks that are hundreds of years old. I think that's the atmosphere, and I have to say that the people here are full of respect for history and tradition. And that's exactly what we're missing, and there's nothing we can do about it.
With the most complete history of inheritance in Europe, there are the Holy See, the world's top luxury cars, the top locomotives, and many famous masters and cultural traditions, and is the center of world fashion and the hometown of luxury. There are no multinational companies, no giant enterprises, but every aspect has done the best in the world, which is worth learning from.
Triumphal arches, triumphal columns, large and small ancient squares, Zhang Xingming and his entourage walked slowly on the streets of Rome, enjoying the scenery completely different from China, feeling the strong artistic atmosphere, as if walking on the corridor of history.
Xu Xiaoya said: "Our inheritance is the most complete, and the history is also the longest, why don't we feel this way anywhere?"
Zhang Xingming said: "I've seen enough, the big guys want political achievements and build buildings, and these bricks and tiles have no meaning and value in their eyes." ”
Su Yan whispered: "It seems that our tradition just doesn't pay attention to tradition." The Han people can integrate all ethnic groups, and the reason for their success is that they never stick to their own traditions, and they can dismantle and abandon everything. And then I always feel that other people's things are good. It's like cornmeal, who eats it except in the peasant city? But as soon as you call Ensima it becomes a grade, and you say that it is delicious and nutritious, and Africans are also foreign. ”
Everyone laughed, but there was a kind of helplessness in everyone's laughter. Zhang Xingming looked around left and right, and in an instant everything became boring, and waved his hand irritably: "Forget it, I'll go back to the hotel to rest." If any of you want to go shopping, let Tang Xin accompany you. ”
Everyone didn't want to continue shopping, mainly because it was a little sunburned. Return to the parking lot together and get on the bus back to the hotel.
The hotel is located in Piazza Venezia, with the famous Palazzo Venezia on the left, which is the center of Rome, the meeting point of several main streets, and the essence of the old city of Rome.
