"The Palace of Versailles" tells the story of what happened when Louis XIV built the Palace of Versailles, which is actually a biography of a character set in this context. The French king reigned for 72 years and 110 days, making him the longest-reigning sovereign monarch on record.
The Palace of Versailles was one of Louis XIV's strategies for centralizing power, bringing the nobles from the place to their side, weakening their power, eating, drinking, attending balls, seeing costume exhibitions and so on, so that they could spend all their money on buying clothes, and did not have the heart to do anything else.
But history is still more interesting... For example, the Hispanic queen gave birth to an African-American baby for Louis XIV; his brother Duke Philippe liked men, occasionally liked to wear women's clothes, and at the same time was heroic and good at war... For example, Louis XIV wrote a letter to Kangxi; originally a woman was standing and giving birth to a baby, but because Louis XIV felt that he could not see it, he let him lie down; he also liked to collect high heels, wear wigs, spray perfume but not take a bath...
The scale of this drama is a bit large... The casting of the brothers is also quite outstanding, and the gorgeous French court style is still very eye-catching. But when it comes to the manor of Versailles, I always think of what Jiang Xun said, the rules are meticulous, and there is no charm of a Chinese garden at all. Maybe culture and culture can only understand each other, not compare. Existence is reasonable.
