Or this ceremony can only be held on the sixth night of every month. At this time, the highest-ranking archdruid among the druid priests (usually there are two archdruids at the same time, one in the British Isles and the other in continental Europe) will wear a white robe, gold jewelry, and hold a golden sickle to climb up the tree to cut the fruit.
Typical European garden style. European gardens are derived from ancient Egyptian and Greek gardens, with French classical gardens and British landscape gardens as excellent representatives. Regular and natural garden compositions are the gardening schools, pursuing the interests of artificial beauty and natural beauty respectively. The artistic attainments are exquisite and unique, and are well-received by the Western world.
The garden architecture in Western classical gardens is inspired by Western classical architecture. It concentrates rooms with different functions in a brick and stone building, pursuing the beauty of the internal space and the sculptural beauty of the external form. Due to the huge size of the building, great attention is paid to the division and treatment of its facade entity.
Thus, a complete set of aesthetic principles for facade composition was formed. In terms of garden layout, Hegel once said: "The most thorough application of architectural principles to garden art is in the French gardens, which are usually close to tall palaces, with trees planted in regular rows, forming boulevards, and trimmed neatly.
The walls are also made of neatly trimmed fences. In this way, nature is transformed into an open-air mansion. Western classical gardens follow the same principles as classical architecture in terms of both taste and composition. Garden design moves the techniques and principles of architectural design from indoors to outdoors.
There is not much difference between the two except for the different combination elements. Western garden art proposes the three elements of "completeness, harmony, and clarity" and pursues rigorous rationality. Europeans have always tended to explore the internal laws of things and like to raise and solve problems in a clear way to form a clear understanding.
This kind of thinking habit is manifested in aesthetics as symmetry, balance and order, which can be determined by simple numbers and geometric relationships. As the classical architectural authority Magnus Blonde said: "It is proportion that determines beauty and elegance. It must be formulated into eternal and stable rules by mathematical methods."
This is the highest aesthetic standard of Western garden art. It is also the difference between Chinese and Western aesthetics. The West emphasizes reality, while the East emphasizes artistic conception. Guess which one is the host's mount. No.10 Continue taking pictures in front of the main gate of Rosenborg Palace. This time, there are two sisters from unknown countries who want to help take pictures. A neat and uniform team of bicycles.
Rosenborg Palace Rosenborg Palace in two shooting styles. Rosenborg Palace is a Renaissance building. It was originally a summer palace built by King Christian IV of Denmark in the 16th century. It is used to store the royal family's private treasures and is also open to the public as a museum. The castle has been preserved relatively well despite the wind and rain.
Stroll around the moat beside Rosenborg Palace and walk down the steps to see the ducks. There are many kinds of water birds in this small artificial moat. The blue sky and clear water, swans and wild ducks are very beautiful. The castle of four hundred years ago is right in front of Yunluo and An Chuyu, traveling through time and space, like a poem and a painting.
Christian IV purchased 46 private plots of land outside the city walls northeast of Copenhagen. He combined these lands to create a recreational garden, which later became the Rosenborg Palace Gardens, and built a pavilion in the garden. The two-story pavilion, topped with a tower and a swirl, was completed in 1607.
From 1613 to 1624, the pavilion was expanded and many annexes were added. In the winter room in the north, Christian IV hung 75 paintings he bought from Antwerp. The layout of the room has not changed to this day. In the long hall, there were 24 paintings that Christian used to educate his descendants.
The entrance fee is 90dkk, and it is free with the Copenhagen Card. This is the bridge that leads directly to the Summer Palace. There are two lions guarding on each side. By the way, let me talk about the founder of the castle, Christian IV: King of Denmark and Norway, reigned from 1588 to 1648. He was the son of Frederick II and was regented by his mother when he first ascended the throne.
He took power in 1596 and during his time in office, he took measures to promote the development of industry and commerce, expanded the port of Copenhagen, and built a new city. He abolished the privileges of the Hanseatic League and introduced new technologies from the Netherlands. He also began to build a powerful sailing fleet and in 1619 he appointed Insmonck to open a route to India via North America.
They seized Tranquebar in India as their colony. They sent three expeditions to Greenland to re-establish colonial ties and set up the Greenland Company. They waged war against Sweden from 1611 to 1613, and later participated in the Thirty Years' War, all of which were lost. In 1645, they were forced to sign the Treaty of Brumsebro, ceding some land to Sweden, and never recovered.
King Christian had a sister who married King James I of England. He visited London twice by ship. He was very happy to receive a grand and polite reception. The British admired his generous character. At the banquet, King Christian's drinking capacity surprised and impressed the British host.
The Earl of Salisbury knew that the king loved hunting, so he arranged a grand horse race and hunting event for him. The king rode 12 British horses to death, then left the racecourse with an obvious look of disgust, embarrassing his British host.
Christian was going to set off fireworks, but due to the erratic tides in the UK, the visit could only be held during the day, so the fireworks could not be set off, which greatly disappointed the Danish king. Christian was also awarded the Order of the Garter. The experience of this king was very exciting and legendary, but Denmark when King Christian IV ascended the throne.
There was a great and sad difference between the Denmark he left behind. Denmark was small and poor when he died, and the king was responsible for that. But the Danes still liked and respected this king because he was so hardworking, so dedicated to his duties, and he was a hero in the country's difficult times.
The buildings he left behind in Copenhagen and elsewhere have helped to keep his name alive after his death. The Order of the Garter's coat of arms The Order of the Garter's image of St. George (insignia) A digression on the Order of the Garter: The Most Noble Order of the Garter is an order of honour bestowed on British knights.
It originated in the Middle Ages. Today it is the oldest order of chivalry in the world and the highest level of the British honors system. Only a very few people can receive this medal, including the British monarch and up to 25 living wearers. The British monarch can also grant it to a small number of excess wearers (including members of the royal family and foreign monarchs).
Only the monarch can confer this medal. Unlike other medals, the prime minister has no right to recommend or nominate the wearer. The main symbol of the Order of the Garter is a garter with the words "honisoitquimalypense?" ("shameon him who thinks sevilofit.") printed on it. The wearer of the medal must wear this garter on formal occasions.
Its image is printed in some other emblems. There are different legends about the origin of this medal. The most popular legend is that Edward III was dancing with a Countess of Salisbury at Eltham Palace and the garter of the Countess suddenly fell off. Many court nobles laughed, and Edward III picked up the garter and tied it around his leg.
And publicly announced "honisoitquimalypense" ("shameonhimwhothinkssevilofit." "Shame on those who think evil"). This sentence became the motto of this medal. Another legend says that in the 12th century, when Richard I participated in the Crusades, he won by tying the garter for his knights following the example of St. George.
Later, Edward III in the 14th century remembered this story when he established this medal. After the establishment of this medal, many women who had not yet become knights received this medal. Henry VII no longer awarded the Order of the Garter to women after he awarded his mother Margaret Beaufort the Order of the Garter.
Until 1901, only men could receive the medal, except for a few awarded by the Queen herself. No woman, except a foreign queen, received the medal in the 20th century. It was not until 1987 that Queen Elizabeth II changed this practice. Most British knighthood medals apply to the whole of the United Kingdom, but there are three highest-level medals that only apply to one region.
Of the three orders, the Order of the Garter applies to England, and is the highest and oldest of the three. The Order of the Thistle applies to Scotland. This order has been around since at least the 16th century, and may have originated in the Middle Ages (some say it even dates back to the 8th century, but this is unreliable).
Its present-day form dates back to 1687. The Order of St Patrick for Ireland was established in 1787, but this order was discontinued after Irish independence (its last wearer died in 1974). The Order of the Garter is worn by very few, only the Sovereign, the Prince of Wales and a maximum of 24 living members.
and a few special members. Only the monarch can confer the Order of the Garter. In the past, if one wearer died, the remaining wearers could each nominate nine candidates (three of whom must be earls or higher, three must be barons or higher, and three must be knights or higher).
The monarch can choose the necessary number of nominees to be awarded the Order of the Garter, but does not necessarily choose the most nominated candidate. In 1862, Queen Victoria abolished this form of nomination, and from then on, the monarch alone chooses the recipients. Since the 18th century, the government has consulted with the government on who to award the Order of the Garter.
However, in 1946, George VI felt that the recipients of the Order of the Garter and the Order of the Thistle were too influenced by political connections. After discussing with the then Prime Minister and the leader of the opposition, he changed the two medals to personal gifts from the monarch. Therefore, the monarch does not have to consult the government when awarding these two medals. In addition, there are some special wearers of the Order of the Garter.
These people are not counted towards the 24 wearers limit mentioned above. These exceptions include members of the Royal Family. George III established this exception in 1786 to exempt his many sons from this restriction. In 1805 he extended this exception to the descendants of George II.
In 1831, this exception was extended to all descendants of George I. The opening hours of the Rosenborg Palace Museum, which mainly displays some Danish royal jewels. Behind the Rosenborg Palace, the sky is really blue. On the wall should be the statues of successive kings. Yunluo will slowly talk about his understanding of Danish history later.
Go back to the front and look up at the sky. The patrol soldiers have boring work every day. The weather is really good. The entrance of the museum is half underground. The two buddies walk around a hundred meters every day. It's hard work. A couple at Rosenborg Palace. A group of couples just came out of swimming.
The small house on the side of Rosenborg Palace. Very beautiful. The red-roofed one is a free toilet. And there is hot water. Souvenir shop Rosenborg Palace It was past ten o'clock. Although I couldn't help but miss the beautiful scenery here, I had to go to the next attraction - the pedestrian street. After leaving Rosenborg Palace, I started riding towards the pedestrian street and passed a church spire.
This is St. Peter's Cathedral in Copenhagen. Sanktpetrikirke is the community church of the German-speaking community in Copenhagen. The church was built in the mid-15th century and is the oldest church in Copenhagen. Exquisite commemorative cup relief. Rong Yunluo explores what the story is. High-rise buildings rise from the ground, and the old city New Port is on the Spring Festival.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
Holding the handlebars with my left hand, I took photos with my iPhone 6 in my right hand. Cycling in Copenhagen on the afternoon of New Year's Eve. The sea breeze was blowing and the sun was shining. It was so beautiful. Copenhagen, the romantic city. There were also cyclists on the motorway. The triangular stripes on the ground meant to slow down. We were about to enter the pedestrian street.
The spire of the Stock Exchange and the spire of Christiansborg Palace and street lamps in the distance. There is always a white cloud in the sky~ I love the clean and beautiful buildings in Copenhagen. The windows are bright and the tables are bright. The statue of Absalom The back of the person facing the sun in Amager Square is Absalom, the founder of Copenhagen.
In the 12th century, Archbishop Absalom of Roskilde built a fortress here, giving rise to the "Merchant Port - Copenhagen". Copenhagen is not only the gateway to Denmark, but also to Northern Europe. The romantic atmosphere of the whole city fascinates all visitors. Absalom statue in Amager Square during the Viking period in Denmark.
Around 1043, Copenhagen was still a small fishing port. The Danish word "Hagen" is pronounced "Haun" or "Haven", which means "port". In 1157, the then Danish King Valdemar gave this small port town to the then Archbishop Absalom. From 1166 to 1167.
Archbishop Absalom built the first castle in Copenhagen, Christiansborg Palace, at the site of Christian Palace (now the Danish Parliament). He improved the city and port facilities. As a result, this place became the basic block of Copenhagen and gained a commercial status. The statue of Absalom in Amager Square pays tribute to the archbishop!
Holding an axe, he cuts through the thorns. Starting a business is difficult. Absalon, 1128-1201, was a Danish politician and Christian archbishop. He was born into a noble family and was educated in Paris. He was the most important historical figure in Denmark's military expansion into the Baltic region. He personally led his army to conquer many areas along the Baltic coast.
He carried out many religious reforms in Denmark. He established many churches and schools. He trained and assisted the Danish King Valdemari of Denmark, 1131-1182, who reigned from 1157 to 1182. After his death, his many titles were inherited by his nephew. Currently, the Danish Navy has the Absalon class/SF-3500 multi-purpose.
The support ship may be built to commemorate this politician and archbishop. Hayhouse is a shopping mall selling creative small things. There is a cafe and a delicious Italian restaurant below. Beautiful pigeons around the fountain. The floor tiles of Copenhagen's pedestrian street are very distinctive, which can make you recognize this as the romantic city at a glance.
Behind the stork fountain is the Louis Vuitton flagship store. It feels like a fairytale city. The storks in Andersen's fairy tales deliver cute newborns, and the stork fountain at Amagertorv in Amagerplatz has an interesting tradition.
After graduating from their studies, midwives in Denmark will dance around the stork fountain to celebrate their official qualification to deliver babies. The stork fountain is actually one of the most famous fountains in Denmark, located near the Str?get pedestrian street. When you finish strolling around the Str?get pedestrian street, you can also stop by to feel the joy of new life brought by the stork fountain in the sun.
In summer, some naughty children often put soap in the fountain to create a lot of colorful bubbles, adding some dreamlike fun to this fairytale city. Holmsbager Bakery, opposite the big shopping mall Illum, has really good Danish croissants.
Copenhagen's pedestrian street Str?get is the largest commercial district in Copenhagen and one of the longest commercial streets in Europe. Walking down from the central railway station, you can see the Hans Christian Andersen statue, the City Hall Square, and the Church of Our Lady Churchchofourlady where the Danish royal family held their wedding. Climb up the dome tower to have a panoramic view of the beautiful scenery of Copenhagen city center.
At the other end is the New Harbor. Near the Stork Fountain, you can also find Christiansborg Palace. The pedestrian street is crowded with people, and it is hard to imagine that the Danish capital with a population of only 600,000 is so prosperous. Yunluo came here almost every day during his five days and four nights in Copenhagen.
There are many artists playing musical instruments and singing on the streets, and the music is very pleasant. It is also a pleasure to find a cafe here and quietly enjoy it. There are many brands on the pedestrian street, including Louis Vuitton, Gucci, Burberry, Hermes, etc. There are also many watch shops. But it is worth noting that there are a wide variety of brands here, but the prices are not as cheap as those at the airport. (To be continued...)
