What is the symbol of America?

Five American landmarks 1. Since the Statue of Liberty was erected in new york Bay in 1886, it has always been the promise of new immigrants to the American dream. This is 1876, a gift from France to the United States on the 0/00th anniversary of independence/kloc-0. The Statue of Liberty is located on Liberty Island near new york, New York, USA. It is an important tourist attraction in America. The Statue of Liberty weighs 450,000 pounds, is 46 meters high and its base is 45 meters high. Its full name is "National Monument to the Statue of Liberty", and its official name is "Statue of Liberty that shines on the world". The whole bronze statue takes 120 steel as the skeleton, 80 copper sheets as the outer skin, and 300,000 rivets are assembled and fixed on the bracket, with a total weight of 225 tons. The steel bracket inside the bronze statue was designed and manufactured by architect Jovi Reboduk and French engineer Eiffel, who is famous for building the Eiffel Tower in Paris. It is said that the beautiful arm of the statue comes from the artist's wife, and its vicissitudes and resolute face comes from the artist's mother. 2. Barbie Barbie is the favorite doll of almost all girls, even adult women. Barbie was inspired by Barbara, the daughter of Handler, the co-founder of an American toy company. Based on a sexy German adult doll, they launched a decent and authentic American doll Barbie at 1959. Ironically, the trainer's daughter likes Barbie doll, but their son hates it. The first batch of Barbie dolls were made in Japan, and the name of the exhibition was "Barbie Girl Model". But to Ruth's surprise, "Barbie" was not snapped up, but was given a cold shoulder by toy dealers. After all, she is a brand-new thing and an adventure, and the dealers are reluctant to do so, but they just managed to get in a few. But the market proved that Ruth's judgment was correct. Barbie doll in the corner of the dealer's shelf was warmly welcomed by the children. More and more people began to buy this fresh and gratifying toy, especially the little girl, who was very enthusiastic about it and sold 350,000 toys in the first year. 3. American Gothic may not be so famous, but the Gothic windows in the old house in the portrait, especially the solemn expressions of the farmer and the long-necked wife, made the painter famous overnight at 1930. This painting shows the solemn pride of American farmers. 4. Bison Nickel Bison Nickel 19 1 1 year, designed by the famous American artist James Earle Fraser, made between 19 13- 1938. This is also the artist's memorial to bison and Indians, who were victims of the development of the western United States. The bison and Indians on the nickel coin are all created with real prototypes. In the process of painting the portrait of bison, Fraser had to sketch an old bison in the zoo of new york Central Park, because there were no more than four bison wandering on the grassland at that time. Two years later, this bison was sold for only $ 100, and then slaughtered and skinned, and its horns were made into wall ornaments. Bison nickel is one of the coins that many coin lovers want to collect most. 5. Uncle Sam, an American alias, is a tall man with white hair and a small white beard, wearing a dark blue coat and a tall hat with stars on his head. The nickname "Uncle Sam" came into being during the 18 12 American War of Independence. There is a meat packer named Samuel Wilson in Lowy, new york. He is honest and capable, full of entrepreneurial spirit and has great prestige in the local area. People affectionately call him "Uncle Sam". During the war, he served as a quartermaster inspector in new york and New Jersey, responsible for stamping beef barrels and wine barrels for the army. 18121kloc-0/0 In October, Governor new york showed some people around his processing plant. When they saw the mark of E.A.U.S on the beef barrel, they asked what it meant. The staff replied that E.A. is the name of an arms contractor and U.S. is the abbreviation of the United States. Coincidentally, the abbreviation of "Uncle Sam" is also U.S., so a worker joked that U.S. is "Uncle Sam". After this interesting story spread, "Uncle Sam" became famous. Americans also regard Uncle Sam's honesty, reliability, diligence and patriotism as the pride and quality of their own nation. Since then, this nickname has spread like wildfire. During the First World War, there was a poster of "Uncle Sam" calling on American youth to become soldiers, which was widely circulated. 196 1 year, the US Congress officially recognized "Uncle Sam" as the national symbol of the United States.
