What kind of country is Germany?

Generally speaking, Germany is a relatively rigid nation, and this goes all the way back to the Prussian period. In ancient times in Germany, the various states in Germany acted independently and fought with each other. At the beginning of the 18th century, a new state emerged: Prussia. Later, during the reign of Prussia's second king, Friedrich, Prussia transformed from a newly established small country into a first-class power in Europe. Except for meeting guests, the king never lived in the palace and had to train soldiers in the barracks every day. Every Prussian soldier was subjected to corporal punishment of being beaten or doing hard work under the king's strict training. The king wanted to train the Prussian soldiers into qualified soldiers who were hardworking and strictly obeyed orders. Historians believe that it was this king who could not sleep after leaving the military camp, who created the Prussian spirit of diligence, thrift, rigidity, and obedience to orders, which is the spirit of today's Germans. Moreover, the Germans' diet is very simple. A Frenchman once said: "The Germans are hell-raised chefs, because in their cooking dictionary there are only boiled and barbecued foods." Germans pay attention to simple, affordable and filling food. The stomach is enough, which fully reflects the thrift of the Germans. Another point is that Germans are serious and their work attitude from beginning to end is also very admirable. During World War I, some British and French artillery shells had no effect after being sent out. These were unqualified and inferior artillery shells. However, every German artillery shell was very powerful. In addition to the technical gap, it also reflected the seriousness of the Germans' work. Work attitude. Politically, Germans are not very sensitive to democratic issues, and this also has very important historical reasons. When Britain, France and the United States were all liberal market economies, the economy in Germany was still controlled by the state. At that time, most capitalist countries in the world had established representative systems, and Germany still had Juncker nobles who symbolized feudal power in the parliament. The king directs the country. However, Germany's capitalist development surpassed Britain and France and became the most developed country in Europe. This allowed many Germans to see the benefits of dictatorship. It was not until after World War II that the Juncker aristocracy basically disappeared. It can be seen that feudal forces existed in Germany for a long time. long period of time.

The militaristic spirit of the Prussian period is no longer present in Germany today. Parents and schools hope to cultivate their children into teenagers who love peace and can shoulder the country's future.

Germans also have a great appreciation for Chinese culture. On a door somewhere in Germany, "Welcome" is written very eye-catchingly in Chinese. The Chinese exhibits in the Frankfurt exhibition hall are very popular with Germans, and New Year's cards printed with Chinese New Year patterns and dragon and phoenix patterns are selling very well in Germany. . Diplomatically, the relationship between Germany and China also appeared to be very good during Schr?der's period. Most of China's current technologies are imported from Germany.
