Chapter 1254 the city of Athens

In addition to some famous ancient civilization attractions, the city of Athens also has three new buildings, namely: Athens Academy of Sciences, University of Athens, National Library, Jin Jingcheng and Han Jiaren also visited these three new buildings.

...

The Academy of Sciences of Athens is the National Academy of Sciences in Greece and the highest research institution in the country. It was established on March 18, 1926 and is affiliated to the Ministry of Education and Religious Affairs. Its name originated from the ancient Plato Academy.

The main building of the Athenian Academy of Sciences is the main landmark of Athens. It is a neoclassical building located between the University Street and the Academic Street in the center of Athens. It is part of the architectural "trilogy" designed by the famous Danish architect Teofer Hansen (the other two are the University of Athens and the National Library).

There are two high pillars in the main hall of the Athenian Academy of Sciences. On the pillars are Athena, the goddess of wisdom and Apollo, the god of sun god. The two statues under the steps are Plato and Aristotle.

Athena was one of the twelve main gods of Olympus in Greece. She was the master of dark clouds and thunder and lightning, the shelter of peaceful labor, and the goddess of war. She taught people to tame cattle and horses, make cars and ships, and give people plows and rakes, spindles and looms. She was the shelter of science and the source of wisdom.

Located in the northeast of the Acropolis of Athens, University of Athens was founded in 1837. It is the oldest and most influential university in Greece. It was not only the first university in the newly established Greek country at that time, but also the first university in the entire Balkans and central Mediterranean region.

Athens University was founded and was called Orson University. It only has four departments: engineering, law, medicine and art. It was renamed in 1932. In 1841, a new school building was built by the famous Danish architect Teofer Hansen, and a new class also appeared.

Later, the majors at the University of Athens continued to increase, and the number of students increased year by year. There are currently 6 colleges including politics, medicine, philosophy, law, science, and theology, and their disciplines cover 30 disciplines. Philosophy, law, medicine, economics, archaeology and art history are strong disciplines at the University of Athens.

When Kim Jingcheng and Han Jiaren walked hand in hand on the beautiful campus full of historical charm of Athens University, they all felt that students who could study in this university were very happy. However, relatively speaking, Kim Jingcheng still prefers Korea Central University because he has a deeper emotion for Korea Central University and has also become an associate professor in the university.

No matter how good or beautiful the University of Athens is, it is unfamiliar to Kim Jingcheng, so the Central University of Korea is different.

...

The Greek National Library, located near the center of Athens, was designed by Danish architect Teofer Hansen.

This national library not only has a long history, but also has a very rich collection of books. Due to the generous gifts of the Greeks and pro-Greeks, the Greek National Library has a very rich collection.

It also includes some special collections, including papyrus and Byzantine manuscripts, manuscripts in European and Asian languages, Byzantine documents, etc., and 200 cradle books are the best in Greece. Its first edition of the printed books include the famous Greek grammar printed by Lascaris in Milan in 1476, as well as many ancient and rare books since the 16th century. In addition, there are bishop seals; a large number of historical documents from the revolutionary and modern Greece during the Turkish rule, etc.

Jin Jingcheng and Han Jiaren browsed some special collections in the Greek National Library. Due to limited time, their trip was destined to be quick and concise. During the browsing process, when Jin Jingcheng saw the scene of books piled up in the Greek National Library, he couldn't help but think of a dream in his youth in his previous life, that is, he hoped that there would be a large, luxurious and comfortable study in the future. In this way, when he stayed in his study alone, he could enjoy the cultural atmosphere and spiritual impact of a bookstore. However, in the past life, Jin Jingcheng's dream was dispersed by reality without any surprise.

In this life, Jin Jingcheng pays great attention to his study. In his apartment in 21 years, the largest room was given to the study. The main reason is that he really likes reading and prefers to enjoy the cultural atmosphere and spiritual impact in the study.

...

Yes, it took two and a half days to visit Athens with Han Jiaren.

In addition to visiting famous attractions, Jin Jingcheng also took Han Jiaren to visit several alleys in Athens. This is also a habit that Jin Jingcheng developed in his previous life. Every time he went to a city, he liked to let himself get lost in a small alley, step in it aimlessly, to experience the atmosphere in the corner of the city and understand how unique this city is.

Once, when Jin Jingcheng and Han Jiaren were walking hand in hand in an Athens alley at sunset, the sunset dyed the mottled path in the alley orange, making Jin Jingcheng and Han Jiaren feel particularly warm, as if they were on a pilgrimage road leading to the gods, even though it was just an alley in the corner of Athens.

During the two and a half days of travel, when Jin Jingcheng and Han Jiaren were tired of walking, they would sit down outside the dessert shop on the street, rest, order a delicious blueberry cheese to reward themselves, enjoy the joyful feeling of sweetness to the taste buds, and enjoy the lazy time in Athens, enjoying the beauty and romance of the two.

During the two and a half days of travel, Jin Jingcheng and Han Jiaren also met many people who performed on the street, including painters and wandering singers. Jin Jingcheng is not a good person, and Han Jiaren's mercy is limited. He will not give money every time he meets a street performer. He will only give him a gift when he encounters an artist who impresses him, and he will not give him as much as 500 euros.

It was impossible to have a short two-and-a-half trip, and it was impossible to get a deeper understanding of the city of Athens. Jin Jingcheng and Han Jiaren could only look for some exciting clips in a browsing view.

The first impression this city brought to Jin Jingcheng was not so luxurious. It was filled with ancient, simple and orderly feeling everywhere. Every ancient monument was permeated with ancient Greek mythology and told the city's once glorious ancient civilization. The rich humanistic colors brought a more colorful psychedelic color to the city.

After two and a half days of travel, Jin Jingcheng sincerely felt that Athens was a city that was once magnificent and still beautiful, with the beauty of calmness and harmony in ancient Greek art everywhere. The philosophy, art, drama, and myth created here have a profound impact and significance on the entire human world.

Jin Jingcheng felt that living in Athens can be European-style lazy or Athenian-style quiet and calm.

However, Jin Jingcheng and Han Jiaren are destined to be just passers-by in the city of Athens.
