"Little girl." Mao Mao beckoned to me.

I also waved my hand and said, "Oh, Mao Mao, and everyone is here."

Atobe led us into the castle.

"Wow! This castle is so beautiful!"

"It looks like a castle in France, right?!"

All kinds of theories have come out, so I will be a commentator with good intentions.

"This castle is Gothic." I winked at them.

"Huh?" Everyone looked at me in confusion.

Atobe looked at me a few times with approving eyes, touched the tear mole and said, "You are gorgeous."

I sweat first.

Regardless of him, he continued: "As far as I know, Gothic castles are characterized by towering towers, pointed arches, large windows, and stained glass painted with Bible stories. The design uses pointed rib vaults, flying buttresses , The slender beam column creates a light and slender sense of flying.

The cylindrical vault of Romanesque architecture is generally changed to Pointed Arch (or simply called Gothic Arch), and the thrust acts on the four keystones, so that the height and span of the vault are no longer limited, and it can be built Big and tall.And the ribbed vault also has a visual cue of 'upward'.

Buttresses, also known as buttresses, are auxiliary facilities used to share the pressure of the main wall, and have been widely used in Romanesque architecture.However, Gothic architecture exposes the originally solid buttresses covered by the roof, which are called flying buttresses.Some towers are added to the buttresses to improve the balance.There are often complex decorative carvings on the buttresses, which are light and beautiful, towering and steep.

Gothic architecture gradually canceled the corridors and corridors, and increased the area of ​​​​windows in the side corridors until the entire church adopted a large area of ​​windows.The windows are tall and large, almost taking over the function of the walls.

And applied the stained glass technology learned from Arab countries to form colorful religious stories, played a role in propagating teachings to illiterate people, and also had a high artistic achievement.The stained glass is mainly in red and blue, blue symbolizes the kingdom of heaven, and red symbolizes the blood of Christ.

The construction process of the window lattice is very delicate and complicated.The slender windows are called 'willow windows' and the round ones are called 'rose windows'.

The stained glass creates a mysterious and splendid scene inside the church, thus changing the dull and depressing feeling of Gothic architecture due to lack of lighting, and expressing people's inner ideals yearning for heaven.

The pillars are no longer simple circles. Multiple pillars are combined to emphasize the vertical lines and further set off the towering and steep space.

For example, in Gothic churches, the interior space of the church is lofty, simple and unified.Decorative details such as canopies and alcoves are also themed with pointed coupons, and the architectural style and structural techniques form an organic whole.The whole building looks clean and grand, while the interior is very open and bright.

Gothic architecture is highly refined and artistic, so it occupies a very important position in the history of architecture. "

When I finished speaking, everyone looked at me with surprise.

"Why are you looking at me like that?"

"Wow! Little girl, you know it all, it's amazing." Mao Mao hung on my body again.

"Hehe! It's... not bad."

I said cat, can you get up?very heavy.

"Eiji is waking up soon. It's not good to press Yitangji like this. She is still young and still developing."

Maomao responded: "Hey, Dashi, I know." After finishing speaking, Maomao hung on Dashi's nanny with lightning speed.

hehe!Cats are so cute!

"But having said that, how does Itou Matsuri know this kind of architecture so well? I don't think even Atobe can explain it so clearly." Said Kansai Wolf Ninjazushi.

It is impossible for ordinary people to understand this kind of historical building specially.

"What I like is the Gothic architectural style, full of mystery and retro."

Everyone nodded in understanding, it turned out to be the case.
