Chapter 342: After eating, he moved to Sanssouci Palace

Last time Ye Chao was boating on the West Lake, a top chef helped him grill fish and cook, but now, he can only do it himself. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Otherwise, a German chef who is good at making sausages will not be able to bake the fish.

The beauties on the boat watched in amazement as the fish of Kings Lake swam up to the surface by themselves, and were caught on the boat by Ye Chao......

They didn't expect this amazing Chinese man to grill fish, and it was quite delicious, and they really loved him.

On the yacht, there were already delicious sausages and other delicacies that Ye Chao had paid to send them, but the German beauties, after drinking these, were waiting for Ye Chao's grilled fish with anticipation, and what they wanted to taste the most was the fish grilled by this magical Chinese man.

The fish was finally cooked, and the beauties tasted Ye Chao's grilled fish, and Ye Chao, seeing that his fish was tasted by others, tasted them all in a fit of anger......

After tasting it for a few days, he was tired of the life of green mountains and green water beauties, so the demonic Ye Chao ran away again.

The Königssee Yacht Beauty Corps was disbanded by him, of course, although Ye Chao was not looking for a peripheral girl, he still gave people wages, travel expenses and gifts.

Anyway, they have to pay for the overnight stay, even though they are not in business.

After running away, Ye Chao heard that there is still a Sanssouci Palace in Germany.

Sanssouci Palace, what a good name, he decided to take a look.

Sans Souci Palace is an 18th-century German royal palace and garden, located in the northern suburbs of Potsdam, Germany, built by King Frederick II of Prussia in imitation of the Palace of Versailles in France.

The name of the palace is taken from the French word for "carefree" or "mochou". The entire palace and garden area is 90 hectares, and it is also called "palace on the dune" because it is built on a sand dune.

Sanssouci Palace is the quintessence of 18th-century German architecture, and the entire construction project lasted for 50 years. Although it has survived the war, it has never been bombarded by artillery fire and is still very well preserved.

The middle part of the main hall of the palace is a semi-circular spherical roof, and the two wings are long conical ridge buildings. In the center of the hall is a round hall. The magnificent Prime Minister's Chamber, with its imaginative ceiling and gold-clad walls, is dazzling.

The interior is mostly decorated with murals and mirrors, and it is brilliant and bright. In front of the palace there are parallel bowed 6 steps, flanked and surrounded by verdant jungle.

There is a fountain in front of the palace, which is directly opposite the portico of the main hall. This fountain adopts round petal stone carving, surrounded by "fire", "water", "earth", "air" 4 round flower beds to accompany it, the flower beds are molded with statues of gods, especially the statues of Venus and Mercury are exquisitely shaped, and the images are vivid.

It is said that there are more than 1,000 stone statues based on Greek mythological figures throughout the palace. On the east side of the palace there is also a gallery with 124 famous paintings, many of which are masterpieces by Italian and Dutch painters during the Renaissance.

The gallery is spacious and bright, and concerts are held here during the festive season. There is a hexagonal pavilion in the garden, which is known as the "Chinese Tea Pavilion" with traditional Chinese turquoise tube tiles, golden yellow columns, umbrella-shaped roofs, and floor-to-ceiling cylindrical structures. The tables and chairs in the pavilion are completely made in imitation of the oriental style, and there is a Chinese-style incense tripod standing in front of the pavilion.

On 13 January 1745, Frederick the Great ordered the construction of the palace in Potsdam.

Based on Frederick the Great's sketches, the architect Georg Wenzeslaus von Knobelsdorff completed the plans. Knobersdorf's original proposal was to make Sanssouci a high palace with a pedestal and a basement. So that you can see it at a glance from the bottom of the mountain.

But his proposal was opposed by Frederick the Great. Frederick the Great did not want a majestic palace. Rather, it was a private residence palace in the Rococo style that met his personal needs, a one-story building with a mountain as a base, a personal palace that allowed him to reach the spacious terrace and the garden without having to walk many steps, and to be infinitely close to nature.

In all the palaces built during the time of Frederick the Great, there was his administrative and artistic intervention.

According to his instructions, the blueprints were redesigned and the cost was budgeted. After receiving his authorization, the work began. Frederick the Great often supervised the work himself, and constantly emphasized the differences of opinion between him and the architects on the details.

Due to his arbitrariness, the architect Georg Wincherslaus von Knobersdorff was unable to bring his own understanding and imagination of architecture and his own talent into play.

Two years later, although not all the rooms were completed, the inauguration took place on May 1, 1747 at Sanssouci Palace.

Except during the war period, Frederick the Great lived in Sanssouci every year from the end of April to the beginning of October. With the exception of himself, only the male guests he had chosen were allowed to stay at Sanssouci Palace. He married his wife Elisabeth Christine von Braunschweig-Bevern in 1733.

After his accession to the throne in 1740, they lived apart for a long time. Only on important occasions will we attend together. He gave her the Schloss Schönhausen, but for forty years she was not allowed to enter Sanssouci Palace.

Sanssouci was once again known as "sans femmes".

Schloss Sanssouci, derived from the French sans (none)-souci (worry), is the most famous Hohenzollern family palace in Potsdam, Brandenburg region. From 1745 to 1747, a small summer palace in the Rococo style was designed according to the sketches of King Frederick II of Prussia.

The design was commissioned by architect Georg Wenzeslaus von Knobelsdorff. In 1840-1842, King Frederick Wilhelm IV of Prussia enlarged the building and extended the side naves on both sides. Designed by architect Ludwig Persius, the east wing was supervised by architect Ferdinand von Arnim.

Sanssouci Palace's famous landscaped landscape began when Frederick the Great decided to build a trapezoidal vine hill on the southern slope of Bornstedt.

Previously, it was just a hill planted with oak trees. During the reign of Emperor Frederick William I, trees were cut down to build the city of Potsdam and to fortify the muddy marshland.

On August 10, 1744, Frederick the Great ordered that this "desert mountain" be reclaimed into a terraced terrace.

The slope is planned as six wide trapezoidal terraces.

In order to make the most of the sun's rays, the wall was built in the shape of a micro-bow centered on the steps. The load-bearing walls were replaced with individual vines from Portugal, Italy and France.

Inside the 168 glass enclosures, fig trees were planted. The front end of the trapezoidal terrace is covered with green lawns. It was planted with yew trees and separated from the shrubs. 120 steps (today 132) were built on the central axis, and this trapezoidal terrace was divided into six sections. There are ramps on both sides of the mountain.

In 1745, a Baroque ornamental garden was built in the open space below the hill. From 1748, a cistern with a fountain was built in the very center of the garden. Sadly, Frederick the Great never saw the fountain spewing water.

Because in his time, there was not enough technology for the fountain to spew water. From 1750 onwards, Roman mythological figures carved in marble, Venus, the god of beauty, Mercury, the god of commerce, Apollo, the god of the sun, Diana, the god of the moon, Juno, the god of fertility and marriage, Jupiter, the god of the gods, Mars, the god of war, and Minova, the god of wisdom, were placed around the pool along with the four figurative elements, fire, water, wind, and earth.

Among them, Venus, the god of love, Mercury, the god of commerce, the sculptor was Jean Baptiste Pigalle, and two groups of hunting parties. The statue of wind and water is by Lambert Sigisbert Adam.

They were gifts from King Louis XV of France. The other statues come from the studio of a man named Francois Gaspard Adam. His French sculpture room was set up by Frederick the Great himself in Berlin.

This complete French circular parterra was only preserved until 1764.

Built in this grape mountain, Sanssouci Palace undoubtedly once again reflects the harmony between man and the environment. As early as the thirteenth century in the Markbrandenburg region was already and became a common vineyard and was never used as a decoration of the ornamental garden by the royal family.

At Sanssouci Palace, these ordinary vines become the centerpiece of the terraced terrace of the Grape Mountain. Coupled with the small and exquisite palace on the top of the mountain, it is even more perfect. In Frederick the Great's words, it was my cottage on the Grape Hill. For Sanssouci Palace, the most beautiful time of the year is summer.

Whenever the Prussian king stood on the grape hills, the picturesque scenery was in full view. Behind him is a sanssouci palace where he can enjoy and play his personal talent hobbies. The windmill on the hillside has been standing there since 1736 and has become a symbol of the pastoral atmosphere of the time.

Frederick the Great once said, "The windmill adorns my palace."

On one side of Sanssouci is a modest but resplendent pavilion known as the "Chinesisches Haus". The Chinese Tower is a round pavilion surrounded by statues of figures in various Asian forms, all of which are indeed gilded (and therefore forbidden to be touched by ordinary visitors), including the entire outer wall of the pavilion decorated with gilding.

At the top of the Chinese building is a statue of the Monkey King, which was imagined and made according to Chinese legends.

The emperor liked all kinds of cultures, and was also full of curiosity and yearning for China, the ancient country of the East, so he built this building. He did his best to collect a variety of objects from the Orient, such as silk and porcelain, to decorate his Chinese House, and to furnish it in a luxurious way to match the opulent and gorgeous Oriental world in his mind.

But unfortunately, he himself never really left Europe in his life, and the Europeans of the same period had quite limited mutual exchanges with China at that time, so when arranging and designing statues, they were heavily mixed with the imagination of Westerners, including the emperor himself, for the East, and if you look closely at those statues, you will feel that although they are somewhat similar to the so-called Chinese, many character characteristics still have the shadow of Europeans in them.

The palace looks quite majestic, with carved beams on the side of the exterior walls.

The central part of Sanssouci Palace. THE CENTER PROTRUDES FORWARD IN AN ARC, AND THE EAVES ARE ENGRAVED WITH THE WORDS SANS SOUCI. Pillars protrude from the façade, and statues of women of various postures are attached to them. Each statue has at least one hand in the posture of propping up the eaves, and the lower half of the body is a wavy skirt, which evolves into a broken shape and gradually disappears, with a sense of power, dynamics and fantasy.

The main attraction is the terraced vineyards beneath the central palace. About 20 knots of stairs extend from the main palace on the garden net below, with a faint green color. In spring and summer, visitors can stroll through it very pleasantly.

A street performer in ancient costume and playing the flute outside Sanssouci Palace. Interestingly, whenever he saw a Chinese tour group coming, he would play the Fengyang flower drum. I don't know who he learned from, didn't the master tell him that this piece was played by the Anhui disaster victims when they fled the famine and begged in the past.

10 meters outside the palace gate, there is a windmill mill, which is older than the palace.

When Friedrich II was building the palace, he asked the millers to tear down or relocate the mill that blocked the palace gates. However, the miller thought that the emperor's request was unreasonable and sued the court at the time, and in the end the miller won the case and the mill was preserved.

In 1990, UNESCO listed Sanssouci palace architecture and its extensive park as a World Heritage Site for the reason that Sanssouci Palace and Park can be regarded as the Versailles of Prussia. She is a synthesis of the 18th-century European art movement, combining architectural creativity and landscape design in the spirit of the monarchy of the time.
