Brief introduction of Dutch pasture

People often call the Netherlands "the country of windmills". The Netherlands is a country in Western Europe with a population of only10 million. Its real country name is Holland. "Ned" means low, and "Lan" means land, which are collectively called "low-lying countries". One third of the Netherlands is only higher than the sea level in the North Sea 1 m, and nearly one quarter is lower than the sea level. It is really a veritable "Netherlands".

The Netherlands is located in the prevailing westerly belt of the earth, and westerly winds blow all year round. At the same time, close to the Atlantic Ocean, it is also a typical maritime climate country with land and sea winds all year round. This gives the Netherlands, which lacks hydropower and power resources, generous compensation for using wind power.

Dutch windmills were originally imported from Germany. At first, windmills were only used for grinding and the like. With the large-scale development of the Dutch people's reclamation project, windmills have played a huge role in this arduous project. According to the local wet and rainy climate and changeable wind direction, they reformed the windmill. The first is to equip the windmill with a movable canopy. In addition, in order to be exposed to the wind from all sides, they installed the roof of the windmill on rollers. This kind of windmill is called Dutch windmill.

The windmills in the Netherlands, the largest of which is several stories high, have wings as long as 20 meters. Some windmills are made of a whole piece of oak. 1by the end of the 8th century, there were about 12000 wind turbines in the Netherlands, each with 6000 horsepower. These windmills are used to grind grain, coarse salt, tobacco leaves, press oil, roll woolen cloth, felt, make paper and drain water from marshes. It is these windmills that constantly absorb water and drain water, ensuring that two-thirds of the country's land is free from destruction and the threat of artificial fish and turtles.

Holland has always been famous for its windmills. Where there are many windmills is "Children's Di Fang". You read this story when you were a child, right? A little boy saw cracks in the dam and seawater seeping in. He was worried that the village would be submerged by the sea, so he blocked the dam with his fingers and saved the whole village …

Today, there are still 19 windmills here, and Dutch women in traditional costumes can be seen.

Until August 26th, it was the "windmill day" in the Netherlands this year. On Saturday, children's windmills in Di Fang will rotate together, and some of them will open their interiors for tourists to visit.

tulip

Why is tulip famous in the world? One of the most important factors is the Netherlands. Tulip is the national flower of the Netherlands, and the Dutch love tulips very much. Tulips have become an indispensable thing in their lives. He always seems to play the leading role in expositions and flower shows. If you find it inconvenient to bring flowers, you can choose to buy dried flowers, which will be as decent as your decoration.

cheese

If someone asks what's delicious in Holland, nine times out of ten they will think it's cheese. Dutch people have all kinds of cheeses, more than you can imagine. Cheese is graded like red wine, and the most expensive one will make you stunned. If you can accept this kind of food, you might as well buy some and try it first. The combination of slight acidity and sweetness is good, and the taste is very mellow.

sabot

Wooden shoes, windmills, cheese and tulips are known as Four Treasures of the Study in the Netherlands, and wooden shoes rank first in Four Treasures of the Study, and their status is generally evident. Wooden shoes have become a specialty of the Netherlands, which is related to short light cycle and low terrain. The sunny weather in the Netherlands is less than 70 days all year round, which makes the Dutch love the sun just like Van Gogh's "sunflower", and makes them have to wear solid wooden shoes to deal with the wet ground and different styles of poplar shoes for field work, yard work and even indoor cleaning. Later, the shrewd Dutch developed wooden shoes into semi-mechanical operation technology, and wooden shoes became characteristic products and tourist souvenirs.
