- Essay on a Trip to Europe (5)
According to the original itinerary plan, the stay in Prague was only two and a half days, and I had already spent two precious days. In a few hours, we will head to Germany, the second stop of our European trip.
Before I went to Germany, I had to complete the task I had already set for myself: the origin of the Bohemian style of European fashion, and the information on the origin of the place.
But I've always had an old topic in mind: cultural exploration of Bohemia. I went to the embassy district on the western outskirts of Prague, where I was introduced to the birthplace of Bohemian culture since the Middle Ages, and the literature recorded that I found the cultural genes of Bohemia.
Bohemia is actually the predecessor of Prague and even the Czech Republic. Remember the famous Queen lead singer Freddie McGregor's "Bohemian Rhapsody"? Remember the theme song "Forever Friends" for the 1992 Barcelona Olympics? Bohemia is undoubtedly synonymous with romance.
Although this ancient country has gone away, and even its name has been lost in the European millennium, it is engraved on the brick walls of Prague, on the pebble roads of Prague, on the domes of Prague, do you see the roses clinging to the window porch? That's bohemia...
With a breeze, I walk briskly. On the streets, in the flowing crowds, the bohemian color elements are the flowing landscapes.
These flowing landscapes are bohemian costumes. The Gypsies, one of the peoples who lived in this land earlier, continued the ancient bohemian style, and modern people innovated and developed it to form a modern bohemian romantic atmosphere. And these styles that embody emotional pursuits with fashion elements of clothing are exactly the landscape creativity I appreciate.
Bohemian style is a rebellious inheritance in gypsies, a style that melts down and is embodied in the world of clothing and fashion. Bohemia not only symbolizes clothing with tassels, folds and large skirts, but also reflects a free and enthusiastic personality.
I am convinced: Bohemia represents an unprecedented fashion revolution, representing a romantic and flowing, sexy and casual lifestyle and attitude to life. This is exactly what people are committed to pursuing!
