CATDOLL: "Pure Maria" takes you to experience the sixth episode of the European Middle Ages

As the year draws to a close, I guess everyone is either preparing for the New Year or waiting for the train home, right? We celebrate the New Year while other countries don’t - this is a good thing for us, otherwise everyone’s favorite animations and American dramas would have to stop.

Let's get back to the point. "Immaculate Maria" has aired 6 episodes, and the plot is already halfway through. I don't know what everyone thinks of this film. Do you think it's just talk and no action, or do you think the content contained in the film is worth pondering? For me, it's naturally the latter. This film not only presents a more historical medieval Europe to everyone, but also makes everyone worry about Maria's choice. War is indeed bad, but if it is mixed with human disputes and forcibly stopped, then people who make money from war will be bad. What is the right way to do it? In fact, there is a saying that adults only care about interests, and children can tell right from wrong. Regardless of whether this sentence itself is right or wrong, at least it tells people that many things cannot be completely distinguished between right and wrong. Don't always hold on to black and white. Looking at problems from multiple angles is the kingly way. As long as you think it's the right path, go ahead without hesitation. War brings death, and ending war is a blessing for all mankind. We can't just sit back and watch because it's "humanity's own business" - this is the belief that Maria insists on.

Well, because today's knowledge content is relatively small, I have said a little more inadvertently, so you can ignore it. Below is the main text.

1. Medieval hats

Although this is not limited to the Middle Ages - in addition to protecting the head and keeping out the cold, hats have also been a symbol of social status in many parts of history. With the development and maturity of Gothic culture in the 15th century, women of noble status would wear conical hats (Hennin, which seems to have no official Chinese translation) with tulle around them, and the front of the headscarf would have a curved pipe-like decoration, which looks very strange even now. In "Maria Immaculate", this fashion trend started with Count Guillaume. Clothing with black as the main color was a symbol of high taste at the time.

2. Medieval muskets

The "gun" fired by Galfa and others at the English army (also appeared in the fourth episode) is the ancestor of modern firearms. Weapons like the one in the film that can be fired continuously with gunpowder carried by individuals are recorded in European historical documents and can be traced back to the 14th century. However, the power of the musket at that time was not as good as the longbow and crossbow, and the range was also short, but the huge noise could scare the enemy soldiers and the enemy's war horses. Even so, the musket quickly became a weapon that dominated the battlefield. The most important reason for this is that compared with the longbow and crossbow, the musket is very easy to operate, and even novices can use it to exert considerable lethality.
