Chapter 34 Western Aristocratic Etiquette? hehe

Amsterdam is a beautiful city, and this cannot be denied in any way.

Gothic architecture fills the whole city, every street, every neighborhood you can see, occasionally there will be one or two modernist science fiction buildings flashing on the side of the road, you don't need to be surprised, this is a magical city, classical and modern collide in this city, blending, the last body, classical with the unique humanistic atmosphere of modern society, modern with historical heritage, more is too radical, less is too elegant.

The Netherlands is a big country of bicycles, there are many more bicycle parking lots everywhere than car parking lots, on average each Dutch person has three bicycles, this proportion is the highest in the world, the roadside is full of green trees, riding through it, there are also some artistic conceptions, which makes people feel refreshed!

There are no blacks and Arabs on Amsterdam's roads, and the number of tourists is not as frustrating as Paris.

Maybe because of the atmosphere of the city, a small number of tourists are quieter, maybe close to the cold zone, black people and Arabs may not survive the winter here, not disturbed by blacks and Arabs, Lin Qing's mood is very good.

The day after Lin Qing inherited the earl, Lin Qing began to learn European aristocratic etiquette with a ceremonial official sent by the royal family, Lin Qing seemed to be completely taking off his pants and farting, more than that, Europeans and Chinese than etiquette? The last time we started using the manure pit, the European aristocracy was still defecating in the open, and it is said that there is only one thatched pit in the Louvre Museum in France, which is still reserved for the king, and the rest of the people can be solved anywhere.

But as soon as Lin Qing thought of the collections in the hands of those nobles in Europe, Lin Qing decided to calm down and study, if he didn't understand etiquette, he couldn't integrate into the circle of those nobles, they were a group of people who had to maintain their so-called demeanor even if they were beheaded.

In Lin Qing's view, if the etiquette of Europeans is compared with traditional Chinese etiquette, it is a joke, four are not like, giving people a feeling of being crowned by a monkey, but feeling good smugness, promoting their nobility everywhere! A party of 12 people, with 12 cups prepared and only 3 cups broken, is considered a civilized and polite party!

Most of the rituals are not used, such as meeting the king, such as returning from victory, etc., etc., but they still need to be learned.

Lin Qing felt that he didn't even need to learn basic greetings between nobles, because Lin Qing didn't have a single noble friend, and if he had, the only one was the old man who sold him the title of nobility.

The basic function of learning these is the communication between the nobility. If you communicate with normal people, people estimate that you are sick, and the so-called aristocracy is a group of people who are sick and not lightly ill.

The ceremonial officer taught him very carefully, asking him to go out in the morning to feel the historical background.

Lin Qing wanted to complain very much in his heart, you are a small European country and I talk about China? However, when Lin Qing walked through the streets of Amsterdam, he suddenly became a little confused.

Lin Qing is thinking about where is the background of our China? The historical heritage can be shown from culture, architecture, civilization, etc., but Lin Qing thought about it carefully, but found that he didn't know where to see the Chinese heritage? The Forbidden City in Beijing or Nanjing, the ancient capital of the Six Dynasties? I'm afraid the only one with a thick history is Xi'an, right?

We keep pushing old buildings to build new ones, so that we can try to catch up with the so-called Western civilization, but we feel that the city we live in is becoming more and more unfamiliar, why? Is it the change that must happen for the progress of society?

The Germans have a very correct remark, that is, the sense of national self-confidence should be expressed in the buildings, so they have built famous buildings one after another, while we ourselves are constantly pushing those buildings that once made us proud, constantly building new buildings, and those so-called world's tallest buildings, there is no Chinese element at all, where does the pride come from.

And we can't even do simple protection ourselves, how many ancient buildings disappear every year because of poor protection, and how many fall into the hands of frenzied developers?

Why do people feel heroic when they walk on the Great Wall, and why do they feel majestic when they stand on the ancient city wall of Xi'an, this is the confidence brought by buildings. With a sense of national self-confidence, we can proudly tell those Western barbarians that when our ancestors produced civilization, you were still ignorant. When we began the age of civilization, you were still a toddler.

Culture? Lin Qing thought about it again, Tang poems and Song lyrics? Or the Four Great Classics? Or is it poetry? Shaking his head, forget about these, now most people in China think that foreign ones are good, desperately study foreign, good and bad.

I can't learn Mandarin well, so I desperately went to the so-called level 4 and level 6.

I started learning English if I couldn't recognize all the Chinese characters, and I stumbled and stumbled when I said that I didn't understand English, and I thought I was different, and a disgusting sense of pride and superiority made people want to beat me when I saw it.

The Chinese's own festivals are no more than abandoned, and they are not important. I have to celebrate Western festivals, and even the moon in foreign countries is rounder than in China.

It's sad to think about it, Lin Qing was a sling in his last life. But he is also an angry young man, and he still can't change it when he returns to this life.

Chinese culture has not inherited well to blindly learn other people's culture, Qixi Festival is the seventh day of the seventh month of the lunar calendar, as a result, the seventh day of the seventh month of the solar calendar shouted that today is the Qixi Festival, and some people even said on the Internet that the Nanjing Massacre does not exist at all, it is really sad, for this kind of person, Lin Qing only did one thing, took out a pistol, let him shoot him in the head, and see if it was filled with straw or stool.

Shaking his head and throwing away the strange thoughts in his head, Lin Qing continued to enjoy the scenery on the side of the road, and suddenly understood the meaning of the stereotypical court instructor, maybe this is the thinking of Westerners, a sense of cultural identity, right?

But the top and sharp thing of the building made Lin Qing feel that it was a lightning rod no matter how he looked at it, and it was estimated that Westerners had made thunder split too much.

In the next morning, Lin Qing had to learn how to eat, Lin Qing had not learned well, because he didn't like to use knives and forks, and always felt that the movements were very twisted, and in the end, there was no way Lin Qing only learned one look, and the court instructor had never seen anyone who could use a knife and fork to feel like holding a sword, and he had to give up and continue to teach, he was afraid that after teaching Lin Qing, he would not be able to use a knife and fork, and he would have a meal, as for it, how did he feel that Lin Qing was like going to the battlefield.

Learn etiquette in the afternoon, etiquette on various occasions, and even learn how to sleep at night, Lin Qing lay on the bed, the instructor watched from the side, taught him the sleeping posture, and finally after a week of intensive study, Lin Qing can finally barely qualify, of course, this is his own opinion!

Lin Qing needs a car, a nobleman can't live without a car, this car refers not to a car, but to a horse-drawn carriage.

In the end, Lin Qing asked Brie to order a carriage, and by the way, he also had to recruit a groom and a coachman.

Of course, in the 21st century, it is impossible to drive a horse-drawn carriage on the street, and a car is needed.

Lin Qing walked around the 4S store in the Netherlands again. The local Dutch brand is called Spyker, known as the Rolls-Royce of Europe, and it is also the first choice of Dutch aristocrats.

bought a Sage C8 Laviolette BI2 as his car, Lin Qing paid 400,000 euros, bought four Audi A6, and an Audi A8, Lin Qing spent another 800,000 euros.
