Anyone who loves freedom will love Ibiza.

As a land reference surrounded by water, the island hides the possibility of escaping from ordinary life.

Many people who love traveling are familiar with Ibiza Island in Spain. It is said that the Greek gods built Ibiza for dancing.

Ibiza is located in the chain of Balearic Islands in Spain, which is related to some fairy tales. It is said that the Greek hero Ulysses once drifted here; An obscure village on the island was once a romantic place for Jason and Medea to spend their wedding night. Princess Sisi sits under the statue of Achilles and reads the Iliad and Odyssey every day.

From the earliest Phoenician era, to the later Arab occupation period, Catalonia period, and then to the later Renaissance period, the ancient civilizations of the world left a splendid legacy on Ibiza. Here, historical sites can be seen everywhere, and the solid high city, as an outstanding example of defensive architecture, has been well protected.

Ibiza has a pleasant climate, less rainfall and mild seasons. 195 1 year, Italian architect Luigi Figini published the illustrated diary of Ibiza.

In his eyes, Ibiza is a paradise on earth surrounded by white buildings. He recorded: "The landscape hangs outside the building like a paper-cut, and the surrounding chapels, archaeological museums, blue lights and moonlight at night will be reflected on the white walls."

In the 1960s, the arrival of hippies made Ibiza more romantic. The arrival of a large number of young people and artists has given the island a different charm. At that time, Ibiza left a strong impression in many film and television works.

Orson welles, 26, whose first novel, Citizen Kane, once showed the life of hippies in Ibiza in the movie Fake. The fake painter returned to Ibiza and walked in the street. Hippies on both sides of the road were drinking coffee leisurely.

The new wave film Winter Funeral, which was created by Pink Floyd and directed by barbet schroeder, was also born in Ibiza. Accompanied by a slightly sad tin flute, Pink Floyd sang: "The blue sky is sinking, and I squint at you. Sunlight makes clothes, just like mopping the floor in vain, and she seems to melt into the broken shadow of the waves. "

Ibiza Island in "Winter Funeral" is charming and romantic, accompanied by the sound of layers of waves hitting rocks, as if you were on the beach for an instant and bathed in warm sunshine. The salty sea breeze is blowing head on, surrounded by exotic drums, music and people's laughter. Everyone wears free and fashionable clothes, twisting their young limbs with the music.

Dongzang was born in 1969. That year, Woodstock Music Festival gathered nearly half a million hippies to praise love and peace. Many years later, depressed Ang Lee turned to Woodstock Music Festival, trying to restore that crazy age from some side and record the disappearance of that innocent age.

Ang Lee said in an interview: "(Hippie movement) used to be beautiful, but then all kinds of things came together and began to deteriorate. At Woodstock Music Festival in 1969, it was like a dead light. More than 500,000 people are as crazy as utopia without any violence. People who have experienced the scene recalled that they could only vaguely hear some music. "

Indeed, it was an era when music could always be heard vaguely.

Close your eyes and imagine that era, as if you could hear singing. John Lennon sang in his voice, "Imagine that all people can enjoy the resources of this world peacefully." . You will think I am stupid, but I am not the only fool "; Bob Dylan was whispering, "The answer, my friend, is floating in the wind, and the answer is floating in the wind".

A crazy and romantic time.

At first, a group of young people in Greenwich Village on the east coast of the United States called themselves "hips". Later, an influential article in the San Francisco Chronicle used the word "hippie". Since then, the word "hippie" has become popular.

Contemporary young people may be able to piece together and restore the style of that era through the songs of Greenwich Village poets, anti-war gestures of trendy T-shirts, rock covers full of psychedelic styles and movie images. It seems that when it comes to hippies, people always subconsciously think of rock and carnival.

In fact, it is not objective to equate hippies with addiction and decadence. Writer Joan Didion wrote in "Trekking to Bethlehem": "Many people think that all this is just to sink, which is really turning a blind eye."

Confused and dissatisfied young people try to find an echo with the world in their own way. They are far away from the mainstream society, despise consumerism, refuse moral bondage, and yearn for freedom and love.

Jack Kerouac, a representative of American critical realism literature, may help you understand the crazy time in On the Road: "I have been chasing people who interest me all my life, because only crazy people attract me. They live crazy, talk crazy, and are saved crazy. They are eager to have everything at once. They never yawn, they don't spit out cliches, they just burn, burn, burn, just like a magical yellow Roman fireworks explosion, just like a spider hanging its long legs among the stars. You see the biggest blue fireworks in the middle, and everyone is amazed' Wow-'!"

Wang Enming, a professor at Shanghai International Studies University, wrote in the book Anti-American Cultural Movement: A Study of Hippie Culture: "In contemporary American history, the 1960s can be said to be the most active, turbulent, eventful and chaotic year in 10. First, the black civil rights movement swept across the United States, then the new leftist movement of radical students, soon the anti-unification cultural movement of rebellious youth, then the vigorous feminist movement, and finally the national anti-war movement. This wave of society is not only fierce and powerful, but also sharp-edged. "

In a sense, hippies can hardly be defined as a movement, because it has no formal organization, no meeting, no constitution or sports headquarters, and anyone who wants to participate in the anti-unification cultural movement can become a member.

Dickens' sentence in A Tale of Two Cities is also very appropriate in those years: "That was the best time, that was the worst time; This is a year of wisdom, this is a year of ignorance; This is an era of faith, an era of doubt ... we all go straight to heaven, and we all go straight in the opposite direction. "

This is a gathering place for hipsters.

Hippie rebellion, like wildfire, spread from San Francisco to the whole world, to the whole European continent, to Australia and Southeast Asia, and even to Africa and South America in just four or five years.

Ibiza, with its low price and beautiful scenery, naturally attracted the attention of a large number of hippies. Many painters, musicians, fashion designers, writers and directors come here for inspiration. Their stop left an indelible cultural mark on Ibiza, making it synonymous with fashion and avant-garde.

In the fashion world, hippie elements with strong colors have quickly become avant-garde design concepts in the clothing field. Yves Saint Laurent once grasped the hippie trend with a unique eye, and used coconut trees and flax to make high-end fashions full of island customs in the 1967 series. Once launched, it received rave reviews.

Jonathan Anderson, the brand design director of LOEWE, has joined hands with Paula's Ibiza, a legendary fashion shop on Ibiza, to combine the rich Spanish island style with romantic Bohemian prints to reproduce the modernity and fashion in the hippie era.

Musicians prefer it here. During the period of 1994, when Jose Padilla was stationed in the coastal cafe, he gradually turned his interest to soothing and gentle music, and began to sort out the Chill Out music that appeared on the island, and finally compiled it into Café Del Mar records. Subsequently, this kind of music spread all over the world.

Chifang music was born here, which is perfect. As one of the best leisure places in Europe, it is really an excellent relaxation to sit in Café Del Mar and enjoy the sunrise and sunset, watch the sunset glow dye the coastline red, watch the jewel-like blue water touch the fine sand, and watch the sunset reflect through the sea. At that moment, the sense of relaxation will involuntarily rise from the bottom of my heart.

In fact, Ibiza is an island for midsummer, parties and madness. Every summer, Ibiza hosts a big music party. By then, restless and sexy music will resound through the whole beach.

In Ibiza, meeting a well-known DJ is not a small probability event, and even meeting a well-known DJ is not so unexpected. After all, big-name band members, Hollywood directors, stars and supermodels are frequent visitors here. As long as you want, no one will stop you for three days and nights, and thousands of free and unrestrained souls will gather here, from sunrise carnival to sunset.

From Anne Fernand Island in Robinson Crusoe to Neverland in the legend of zelda, people like to give the center stage to an island surrounded by seawater and made of mud and stones, whether it is literary works or virtual games. Of course, there are towering coconut trees and enthusiastic grass skirt girls. But Ibiza is more than that. It can always carry more imagination and surpass your imagination again and again.
