Belgium is adjacent to the Netherlands, and Ye Chao didn't think about it, so he casually passed the Netherlands......

The Netherlands is a highly developed capitalist country, known for its seawalls, windmills, tulips and a tolerant social ethos, and is among the most liberal in the world in terms of drug, abortion and abortion laws.

The Netherlands was the first country in the world to legalize same-sex marriage and euthanasia.

In the 17th century, the Netherlands was the most powerful maritime power in the world at the time, and was once known as the coachman of the sea. The Netherlands has 12 provinces and 443 municipalities. The capital is in Amsterdam, but the central government, the residence of the king, all government offices and foreign embassies, the Supreme Court and many other organizations are located in The Hague.

The literal meaning of Netherlands is "lowland", meaning lowland country.

From the 15th century, the name Netherlands was used as the name of the country.

But unlike England or France, the name does not originate from national names, but is transformed from place names. Strictly speaking, Netherlands is the name of a region in the Netherlands, which is the collective name of the provinces of North Holland and South Holland.

During the time of the United Republic of the Seven Provinces, the Netherlands was used metonymically to refer to the Netherlands as a whole.

Another common common name, Dutch, is used to refer to the main ethnic group in the Netherlands, the Nederlanders. This word is derived from the English language, and is derived from the word Deutsch.

Originally from Latin: Theodiscus, which literally means tribal, or people.

The national flower of the Netherlands – the tulip. The history of Dutch tulips began with a horticulturist named Clucius.

In the 16th century, Clusius, who worked as a gardener in the Royal Gardens of Vienna, did everything possible to obtain beautiful tulips native to Asia from the Austrian ambassador Yu Zhong who went to Turkey, and brought the tulips to the Netherlands, so that this flower quickly spread all over the Netherlands, and once set off a tulip fever.

The head of state of the Netherlands is a hereditary monarch of the Orange-Nassau family, which is often referred to as the "king", but the only person in Dutch history who can really be called "Ned King" is the country's founding father, Wilhelm Van Orange.

However, because the title of the monarch is too long, even in official legal documents, the head of state is referred to as the king (Koing)

The highest executive body in the Netherlands is the Cabinet, with the Prime Minister as the head of the Cabinet and overseeing all ministries.

It should be noted that the official title of the head of government of the Dutch government is "Minister-President", which comes from the 1945 constitution adopted by the Dutch parliament.

The correct translation is "President of the Council of Ministers", or it can be translated as "Prime Minister", but it is actually a very common mistranslation to "Prime Minister".

Because the position of Prime Minister of the Netherlands (Premire) was abolished as early as 1848.

The highest legislative body in the Netherlands is the bicameral parliament, with 75 senators elected by the provinces in the upper house and 150 members in the lower house, who are directly elected by the people for four-year terms.

In the Netherlands, 18 is the legal age for citizens with the right to vote, but elections are held for political parties rather than individual candidates.

Since no single party in the Netherlands is large enough to win a majority of seats in Parliament alone, it is not uncommon for small parties to form coalitions, thus allowing for long-term consistency in government policy.

For foreign investors who are not familiar with the local business environment, the stable political environment in the Netherlands is indeed conducive to the development of long-term business objectives. The Dutch multi-party democracy, coupled with a legislative system based on consensus, can be very beneficial for investment, business management, and innovation.

The Netherlands has four treasures: windmills, tulips, cheese, and wooden shoes.

The windmill was originally pioneered by the Dutch and adapted to the needs of the hydraulic and mill industries.

Although it is still the "national trademark" of the Netherlands, it is rarely used in practice.

Often referred to as the "Land of Windmills", the Netherlands is a country in western Europe with a population of just over 10 million.

Its real name is "The Netherlands". "Ned" means low, and "Lan" means land, which together are called "low-lying country". One-third of the Netherlands is only 1 meter above the surface of the North Sea, and nearly a quarter is below sea level.

The Netherlands is located in the Earth's prevailing westerly belt, where westerly winds blow throughout the year. At the same time, it is bordered by the Atlantic Ocean, and it is a typical country with an oceanic climate, with constant sea and land breezes all year round. This provides the Netherlands, which lacks water and power resources, with generous compensation for the use of wind power.

Windmills in the Netherlands were first introduced from Germany.

In the beginning, windmills were only used for grinding powder and the like.

In the 16th and 7th centuries, windmills were of particular importance to the Dutch economy. There are: papermaking and other functions, known as the "country of windmills". The Netherlands has always been famous for its windmills. The place where there are many windmills preserved is the "Kids' Causeway".

Today, there are still 19 windmills in this place, and you can still see Dutch women dressed in traditional costumes.

Until August 26, it is the "Windmill Day" of the Netherlands in 2013.

On Saturdays, the windmills of Kinderdijk turn together, and some even open the interior for visitors to see.

The national flower of the Netherlands – the tulip.

Tulips are famous all over the world, and one of the big factors is because of the Netherlands, which is the national flower of the Netherlands.

The Dutch have a wide variety of cheeses. Cheese is also graded separately like red wine.

Windmills, wooden shoes, cheese and tulips are known as the four treasures of the Netherlands, and wooden shoes are at the top of the four treasures, which shows their status. Wooden shoes have become a specialty of the Netherlands, which is related to the short period of light and low-lying terrain. With less than 70 days of fine weather a year, the Dutch loved the sun as much as their painter Van Gogh's "sunflowers", and they had to wear stout wooden shoes to cope with the wet ground, and wear different styles of poplar wooden shoes for work in the fields, yard work and even indoor cleaning.

Later, the shrewd Dutch developed the craft of wooden shoe making into a semi-mechanical operation, and wooden shoes became a special product and a tourist souvenir.

Let's talk about diet......

The Dutch eat herring in a peculiar way, not fried or baked, but eaten raw with chopped onions or egg yolk salad dressing.

It is sold at tourist spots and stalls in downtown areas. In front of the fish stall in the Netherlands, you can see the well-dressed locals pinching the tail of the fish with their thumbs and forefingers, lifting the fish upside down, dipping it in the onion grains, raising their heads, the direction of the head of the fish towards the mouth, and then opening their mouths wide, "Ahhhh

Kitchen method: Wash the raw fish, soak it in salted water for 2-3 days, then take out the fish head and fish bones to remove, and finally serve with onions, which is delicious.
