As a representative of rural architecture, how did manor become a symbol of British culture?

The countryside in England has always been a must for many people to travel. Blue sky, white clouds and green grass are covered with golden sunshine. What a pleasant time.

In Britain, people themselves think that the soul of Britain lies in the country, not in their rapidly developing cities. Manor is a representative of English rural architecture. Not only that, it is also a symbol of English culture. Downton Abbey is popular all over the world, which makes many people have beautiful dreams about English manor. The specific meaning of English manor and its changing history are as follows. In terms of culture, the sculptures, paintings and various ornate decorations in the manor, as well as the blue sky, white clouds and green natural environment in the English countryside, provide an atmosphere for artists' creation. Jeremy Paxsman, a famous British journalist, said, "The British insist that they don't belong to this city, but to the country where they don't live. They think that the real Englishman is a countryman. "

The source of the heritage, the manor is actually a castle. At first, there was a war between Britain and France. The British built castles only to protect themselves and their homes from foreign enemies. The real English manor appeared in the 12th century from Elizabeth I to the middle of18th century. The reason is that since the 12 century, Britain and France have ended years of love and killing, and Britain is no longer affected by war. After investigation, it was found that the construction cost of the castle was stone, the construction period was long, and the lighting was poor (there were basically no windows on the outer layer), so it was improved and its defense function was weakened. Later it was changed into a manor.

The ideal of many English people is to live in a manor when they are old. There is a green lawn outside the manor, dotted with all kinds of century-old trees, and there are brilliant English roses in the garden near the house. They sat in a small living room with potted begonia, drinking tea and reading books, waiting for tourists to ring the bell. Therefore, English manor has an indelible influence on the development of English culture and is a part of English culture.

Therefore, as a representative of rural architecture and a symbol of British culture, the manor has undergone many improvements from the initial improvement to the present, and finally it has become a place that everyone yearns for.
