Chapter 2223 The customs of the small town
Under the leadership of the young Shitz, Jin Jingcheng and his group leisurely and started to play in the small town of Kur.
Shitz first took them to St. Martin's Church. Jin Jingcheng had already seen this church when he was standing in Arcas Square.
Although St. Martin's Church does not face Arcas Square directly, from west to east, its bell tower stands behind a building in the northeast corner of Arcas Square, becoming the visual commanding height of the square.
The Church of St. Martin was built in the late 8th century and almost turned into ashes in the city fires in 1464. The church was later rebuilt and converted from Catholicism to Protestantism in 1526. It is a later Gothic architectural style. The current church bell tower was built in 1918.
When he walked to the square of St. Martin's Church, Jin Jingcheng and his party saw a sculpture fountain in the square. The sculpture was a ancient warrior. There was also a copper-built model of the old city of Cour. This model well shaped the appearance of Cour many years ago.
When you walk into the church, the first thing to attract attention is an extraordinary organ located in the middle of the church hall.
The most precious collection of St. Martin's Church is three stained glass windows, all of which were painted by Jacmetti in 1919.
Alberto-giacometti (1901-1966), a famous Swiss sculptor, his bronze sculpture "The Walking Man" will be sold at Sotheby's London auction for $104.2 million in February 2010, setting a record of $104.17 million in global art auction price previously created by Picasso's "Boy with a Pipe" in 2004.
Walking through St. Martin's Church, passing through a door opening, you enter another church, the famous Catholic Catholic Cathedral of Coul.
The city of Cour became the bishop of the Catholic Church in the 5th century AD and was directly under the Holy See. The Roman architectural style of Cour Catholic Cathedral was built in the 12th century and took more than a hundred years. It was not finally completed in 1272. Its interior decoration showed a variety of Gothic and Baroque styles due to later donations and additions. Compared with its simple and simple appearance, it is luxurious.
Yes, the exterior of this Kur Catholic Cathedral looks simple and simple, but the interior is so luxurious that Han Jiaren and IU don’t think it’s anything great when they look at the cathedral outside, but after entering, they are amazed by a kind of luxury, which also makes the atmosphere in the cathedral more sacred.
For a church, the word sacred often needs luxury to set off. Even if the Catholic Archbishop is allowed to stay in a very small and simple church, the believers will definitely not feel much sacred when they see this scene. However, if such an archbishop is paired with a very luxurious and spectacular cathedral, the believers will not feel a sense of sacred when they see this scene.
The same is true for Buddhism. Even if there are monks in it, it is obviously not as good as a large temple with a majestic and magnificent statue of a large temple for the vast number of believers at the bottom.
So, money is really good and powerful. Even a religion like Catholic Buddhism will not do without money!
After leaving the Catholic Cathedral of Kur, under the leadership of Shits, Jin Jingcheng and his group went to other places for a tour.
Overall, the biggest feature of Kur's small town is that the houses are all four-story, five-story, and six-story medieval buildings, many of which are made of pink walls and red tiles, and there are many alleys paved with gravel, interlaced and winding.
Another feature is that many buildings in Kur City have murals painted on the walls, with all kinds of murals. Some murals look majestic, some murals look interesting, and each mural has its own unique story. As for these stories, Hits only knows some, but not more. Not to mention him, a young man, even the old man who has lived in Kur City for a lifetime will not fully know the stories of all murals.
For example, there is a building with a lady painted on the window on the fourth floor. The lady held a piece of hand-shaped cardboard covering her face in both hands, and she was peeking out through the fingers of the cardboard. Such a strange mural was obviously not drawn casually, and it must have a story, but Shitz didn't know what the story was.
For example, there is a mural painted on the wall of a building: a young woman is pouring water for two militiamen with guns. The simple and unpretentious style hides the shadow of war behind it, which also makes people feel the tradition of the whole country of Switzerland being a soldier.
For example, there is a mural painting on the wall of the library in Plaza de Arcas: one person holds the horns of a cow, and the other person is ready to swing an axe. Shitz couldn't tell the story of this painting, but just smiled and said, "We all think this painting is a painting to kill a cow."
In addition to the scenery, Jin Jingcheng also carefully observed the local residents of Kur during the tour. According to his observation, most of the residents of Kur live comfortably and leisurely. In addition, Swiss people are generally not short of money. Kur is a small town with low consumption levels. Without economic troubles and pressure, and without heavy work, people will naturally live comfortably and leisurely.
After a long time of comfortable and leisurely life, it is easy for people to become friendly and easy-going. During the tour, Jin Jingcheng took several photos of local residents. These local residents cooperated very friendly when they saw him taking photos and put on a gesture of satisfaction.
What made Jin Jingcheng happy was that several local residents recognized him and shouted the name "mrjin" at him. This is indeed rare. mrjin is not very popular in Switzerland, but has some fame. Moreover, Jin Jingcheng is a yellow man wearing a baseball cap and is not easy to be recognized. Under this premise, it is already worthy of being recognized by several local residents in the small town of Kur.
Kim Jingcheng was a little proud, and Han Jiaren and Iu were even more proud of him. This was also a strange psychological phenomenon. Kim Jingcheng was the most popular top star in South Korea. Because he was used to this, even if Kim Jingcheng was surrounded by thousands of people in South Korea, Han Jiaren and Iu would not be surprised. Kim Jingcheng was only recognized by a few local residents in Kour and said hello. Han Jiaren and Iu were both surprised and proud of him.
The few people who recognized Jin Jingcheng wanted to take photos with Jin Jingcheng, so they came with him to take a photo after asking for Jin Jingcheng's consent.
Regarding the group photo, Kim Jong-sung and Han Jiaren have made an agreement in advance this time. This time, Kim Jong-sung can take photos with someone, and Han Jiaren will leave. The two of them took photos with someone at the same place in Switzerland at the same time and posted them on Facebook and other Internets. They will inevitably have strong scandals in South Korea. Of course, Kim Jong-sung and Han Jiaren will take some photos themselves, including the photos of the two, which they collect, but will not be posted online.
