Harry Potter Morning Light

The meal that the school entertained Georgiana at noon was the local cuisine of Rouen, Rouen-style squab and mille-feuille cake, and a bottle of apple brandy, which can be called an ordinary meal at Hogwarts University of Rouen The students ate very happily, just like a festival. They sat at rows of tables, and they didn't eat in separate houses like magic schools, but friends of three or five gathered together, chatting and eating.

However, no matter how skilled the chef is, it is estimated that it is difficult for anyone to have the appetite to eat in this place-the wooden courtyard of this two-story building is full of skeletons.

On beams, window frames, corridors, and arcades, there are skulls, leg bones, and death statues of underage children. All the wood is painted black, even if there are occasional Madonna and Child. The sculptures are also useless, full of the breath of death.

In fact, this place was the largest public parish cemetery in Rouen as early as 1253. Rouen was not spared when the Black Death swept across Europe in the 14th century. At first, there were people buried, and then the dead began to be cremated quickly. The north wing of this courtyard It was originally planned to put the ashes of the black death patients, but the attic was not repaired and a large number of the dead were sent again, so that it became a mortuary.

In order to reduce the risk of infection, people dug a pit in the yard, no matter men, women, old or young, the corpses that could not be cremated in the future were buried in it, that is to say, anyone who digs it with a hoe may dig bones, so the newly built greenhouse I moved to the Academy of Fine Arts next door.

That was the case in that era. Didn’t Da Vinci dissect many corpses? Art and corpses are almost the same. Before they became famous, many painters were very poor. They also had to buy paints to paint. The tight living forced them to rent a house next to the cemetery. Later, some people offered art teaching courses. Only one became famous in 1741. The painters came back and funded the establishment of the Academy of Fine Arts in Rouen, so that it became the "University in the cemetery" (Une école dans un cimetière).

These painters have a "sense of humor". There is a print called "Dance of Death", in which two skeletons hold the Pope's hand and sing and dance. This is a colored engraving, the pope looks sad, and the two skeletons "laugh" very happily.

If anyone has nothing to do, if you look closely at the skeletons, you will find that they are all with "smiles". The woodcuts adorning the pillars remove the mandibles, so that the skeletons have no smiles, plus the crossed leg bones And so on, it looks like a pirate flag, with crossed sickles and shovels engraved on it, representing Ankou, the god of death in Breton mythology, who will collect the souls of the dead from the grave and put them To the underworld.

This god of death is not full-time like Hades. The person who died last in each regional calendar year will be called Ankou in the coming year. If many people died in that year, it means that this Ankou is particularly evil. The last person who died a year before the outbreak of the Black Death in Rouen happened to be a farmer, so the sickle and shovel became the symbols of this Ankou.

It is estimated that about 10,000 people were buried here at that time, and each of the big trees in the yard is a big grave. During the French Revolution, it was used as a revolutionary club and a textile workshop.

Probably in the middle of the 17th century, a priest recruited children from poor families and opened a school here. Houses were built inside the wall on the south wing of the courtyard as school buildings and residences. Later, the number of students expanded, and the two-story buildings on both sides were formed.

The reform of higher education during the Revolution was also an important aspect. Universitas or collegium means guilds in Latin. Guilds, often called guilds, practiced internal autonomy, but the difference between university guilds and craft guilds was intellectual life, each city had its own style.

For example, the University of Paris gave birth to the "Mr. University". The teacher speaks on the stage and the students listen below. Italy is the "Student University". People such as Galileo gave lectures in Padua. Someone else pays.

The "student university" model is very strange to countries such as Scotland, England, Sweden, Denmark, Germany, etc., because they are all continuations of the "Mr. University" model of the University of Paris. The teacher represents authority, and the teacher's salary is also determined by the school. Yes, in Padua, it is the students who decide the salary of the teachers, and even the selection of professors, tuition fees, semesters and teaching hours are also decided by IO students.

Closing the school is a big deal for Hogwarts students, and that's because they're a bunch of teenagers. When Newton was studying in London, the school was also closed because of the plague. The University of Rouen was closed because of the outbreak of the Great Revolution. In 1791, the National Assembly passed a decree to cancel all social groups in the country, because "a truly free country does not allow Any closed group shall be independent of it.” Since the school was run by the church at that time, this decree was tantamount to canceling the legitimacy of the church’s open school, and then the University of Rouen was closed.

What kind of education was conducted during the Great Revolution? All came out, and until Napoleon came to power in 1799, he attached great importance to education, but he paid attention to science and engineering, and the Paris Institute of Technology received a lot of care. Universities far away from the capital and located in remote areas like the University of Rouen are not cared about at all, and it is even illegal for these students to stay here, because according to the education law: no secondary schools are allowed to open without government permission , Colleges and universities are run by the state in principle, because education is a state function.

The poor students were so poor that they had no place to live. The factory owner who used to run the textile factory gave them the place. Anyway, no workers would like to go to this ghostly place.

The medieval university composed of scholars had to resist external pressure, and the church implemented a cultural monopoly and tried its best to exert influence on the university in an attempt to enlist it under its own sect.

Crown and local governments also saw the benefits of the university and competed with the church for control of the university.

This involves the secularization and academicization of universities. The biggest difference between Slughorn and Professor Snape is the same. Snape is academic. His improved wolfbane potion works, but it is expensive. It does not bring profits to drug companies. As for Slughorn, he has a display stand full of his favorite students. If Voldemort didn't go crazy later, he would be the brightest star on the display stand.

In the process of secularization of the university, it is inevitable to cooperate with local enterprises, but secularization and vulgarization are not the same concept. Rather than donating money, the president hopes that Georgiana can help him apply for the school's charter, so that members of the Rouen Chamber of Commerce We can donate money with confidence.

The principal may have lived in the closed country for too long without knowing that the charter has now been revoked.

She would have liked Bonaparte to come here and see what effect he had made by freeing the École École, the students in Paris were of course happy. Medical students in the Middle Ages had to pay their own tuition fees, and nobles also regarded sponsors as universities as a means of winning people's hearts.

In the past, one had to go to the Academy of Art to be a doctor. In 1781, the Academy of Fine Arts next door closed down, and the medical school moved the teaching building there, and the place to live can only be the old wooden building that has been around for hundreds of years. .

But she estimated that he would be indifferent. Medicine is also divided into internal medicine and surgery. He supports surgeons because surgeons are very useful on the battlefield. He doesn't believe in internal medicine, just like he doesn't believe in lawyers.

She really realized that going out once could really gain a lot of insight. Josephine would never come to this kind of place when she died. She was even afraid of Marie Antoinette's ghost, let alone this kind of school.

Ferrier looked calm. Figer had been on the battlefield and performed well. Margaret felt like crying.

This is actually nothing to be afraid of. There are more dead people buried in the catacombs of Paris. Of course, she may not know it. If she doesn't know it, she won't be afraid.

If you smell it carefully, there is still a strong smell of corpses in this wooden house. After all, tens of thousands of people rot together in the yard next door, but she doesn't want to cover it up with fragrance.

She was chatting and laughing with the principal while cutting up the pigeons on the plate.

The children in the audience must be curious about what they are talking about.

What else can we talk about?

Anyway, there are few people here, and there are trees everywhere. Luke likes to build buildings so much, so let him build one. Someone squanders buying jewelry, and she spends it on it. Regardless of whether she succeeds in cultivation or not, she has to find something for the children to do, just like she used to let the maids of the Grand Trianon copy books. .
