Germany***

It's a very good book. It looks at a country from the smallest details and is worth reading. I remember that the part in the book that introduces Heidelberg University is very detailed: "This is inseparable from the liberal tradition of Heidelberg University. As early as 1849, the Department of Theology in Heidelberg awarded an honorary doctorate to James Pennington, an American black slave who fled to Heidelberg. During the same period in the United States, it was illegal to even teach black people to read and write." Some places also reflect the Germans' pursuit of excellence and principle of speaking one word. It is worth reading to find the gaps in concepts.

Germany is an orderly, rigorous, gentle but humorous country. In the passage of time, urban construction has made Germany shine. The Germans not only pay attention to the color matching of buildings, but also pay more attention to the embellishment of the appearance. The Germans put wooden slats on the exterior walls and windows of small buildings with sloping roofs. People call them wooden slat houses. These wooden slats are purely for decoration. The Germans, who value order, are particularly willing to do such a thing, because the colorful wooden slat houses standing side by side look like something out of a fairy tale. This book provides insight into various details of German society and comprehensively presents Germany's unique cultural core and social features.

There is quite a lot of content in this book, although it is a bit fragmented, but I still saw a vivid Germany from it, "Florence on the Elbe River in Dresden", the beauty of Dresden's Frauenkirche; the Cologne Cathedral survived World War II: in Cologne, no urban building should be higher than the church. It can be seen that the religious beliefs of the Germans reflect the perfect fusion of German faith and German craftsmanship; the elegance of Weimar and the tranquility of the township of Heidelberg also moved me very much.

We heard that we can know things by observing places on WeChat. A more real and concrete side. The author of this book. This is based on such a concept. To write about German society and culture. The book describes various details of German society and culture. In order to analyze the German people and their social and humanistic spirit behind these subtle cultural details. The book covers many aspects. Such as his buildings. Transportation, countryside, etc. Readers can get to know a real Germany through this book.

The author is from Qingdao, and because Qingdao was once occupied by the Germans, many German-style buildings and infrastructure were left behind. Perhaps it is because of this that the author has a special fondness for Germany. He took great pains to travel to Germany many times and wrote down what he saw and heard with his own eyes and ears, giving readers an immersive feeling. Let us put aside political and historical factors. Germany does have many aspects worth learning and learning from. Germany is an important pillar among the EU member states and can be said to be the only country in Europe with a relatively complete industrial system. For its own further survival and development, Germany took the lead in proposing the Industry 4.0 Era, which seems to have its solid foundation. I own many German Lingmei fountain pens and have used them happily for many years. This makes me admire the exquisite craftsmanship of German products.

Germany is a very strict country. The philosopher Kant was even used as a clock by an old woman and would appear in the square on time every day. Moreover, German culture and art are very rich and colorful. Germany has many famous museums, theaters and art galleries, such as the Berlin National Museum, Berlin Kunsthalle, Hamburg Kunsthalle, etc. German details are also reflected in the architecture, and German architecture often combines classical and modern features. Its architectural style is dominated by traditional architecture, usually with stone walls and windows as the main elements. This architectural style is common in both rural and urban areas of Germany.

Thanks to the author for letting people appreciate the essence of a truly developed country from various angles. I really like a passage written by the author: the sense of security of citizens comes from a mature and complete social security system, the confidence of a society comes from humanized taxes and subsidies, and the essence of public services lies in being people-oriented and reaching out to the masses. The details of government services are hidden in every meal and every move of citizens...

This book presents a real Germany through details, with rich content and plain writing style. The author uses personal experience as material, which adds to the credibility and affinity of the book. For example, the description of the German urban landscape in the book "The houses occupy a large area and the courtyards are also large, very similar to Qingdao where I lived in my childhood." This makes it easier for readers to resonate with the book. In short, this is a book that allows us to better understand German culture.

Germany not only has a high population density, but also has a very high private car ownership rate. It is standard for a family to have two cars, and it is not surprising to have more than 3. There are also big things like RVs, with the number of cars per 1,000 people reaching 700. As for China, the data in 2015 was 110 cars per 1,000 people. Based on this ratio, can you still say that Germany has few cars? @Chapter 5 Technology and Humanity in Highway Design! Official data?
