Christmas Holiday Illustration-How to Draw a Christmas Handbook

What does fried chicken bucket mean? The fried chicken bucket is Wallace's new product.

In fact, the food in KFC and Wallace's shop is very similar, but the brand and price are very different. If the economic conditions are relatively good recently, then choose KFC. After all, big brands are better, but the economic conditions are not so good, so Wallace is the best choice, so you should choose according to your own situation.

In 20 19, KFC also launched a Christmas edition of Fried Chicken Barrel: Illustration of Traditional Christmas Colors in Red and Green by Nicholas Johnson, a well-known children's writer and illustrator. This is also the first time KFC has added original illustrations to fried chicken barrels.

Brief comments:

In fact, Wallace's fried chicken bucket package is really cost-effective. Although the weight inside is a little different from that in KFC's bucket, the price is different from that in 30 yuan. If you buy two fried chicken buckets directly, it will definitely be much more than the family bucket.

Is the image of Santa Claus popular from the beginning? Christmas is coming (65438+February 25th), and all the high-rise buildings in Beijing are carefully arranged and prepared for this festive foreign festival.

Speaking of Christmas, people will naturally think of Santa Claus with white beard, chubby, wearing a red (red and white, but mainly red) cotton-padded jacket, and the image is embarrassing!

In western fairy tales, Santa Claus rides a sleigh pulled by nine reindeer from house to house through the chimney every night on February 24th, 12. After the children fell asleep, he quietly put the presents in the socks beside the children's beds or under the Christmas tree by the fireplace.

Nowadays, many people wear red Christmas hats every Christmas. Santa Claus in every shopping center or building is also red.

But is the image of Santa Claus popular from the beginning?

Actually, it is not.

So why did it turn red later? Today we will talk about the story of Christmas and Santa Claus.

Christmas, also known as Christmas, is translated as "mass of Christ" (mass is a kind of worship ceremony of the church), which is a traditional festival in the west. Because the annual Gregorian calendar 65438+February 25th is the day when Christians commemorate the birth of Jesus, it is called "Christmas".

At first, Christmas was just a Christian holiday. Later, with the popularity of Christmas cards and the appearance of Santa Claus, people paid special attention to it and developed it into a national festival in western countries. It is the biggest festival of the year in western countries, equivalent to the Spring Festival in China.

The birth of Santa Claus originated from European folklore.

Generally speaking, Santa Claus refers to Nicholas, the bishop of Asia Minor in the 4th century. He is famous for his affability and generosity in helping the poor in Wan Li.

But the image of Santa Claus that we see now was created by the famous Swedish illustrator Hatton Sambu in 193 1 based on his friend Luo prentiss. It was from 193 1 that the image of Santa Claus began to be unified and fixed as the image of "an old man with a red robe and a white beard, a kind smile and an embarrassed expression" that we can see everywhere today.

193 1 years ago, the colors of Santa Claus in western countries were different, usually yellow and green (now westerners use red, green and white as Christmas colors). And Santa Claus at that time was not fat; On the contrary, Santa Claus who lived 193 1 years ago often looked gaunt and bony.

Yes, it was not until 193 1 that the image of Santa Claus changed from yellow or green and skinny to red and fat. Hatton Sambu is not the "mastermind" behind all these changes. Although he personally created the classic image of Santa Claus, he was only entrusted by people. The real mastermind is actually the world-famous Coca-Cola Company.

At that time, the Coca-Cola Company signed a contract with Hatton Sambu to create an image of Santa Claus drinking coke, and insisted that the color of Santa Claus's clothes must be bright Coca-Cola red. So Hatton Sambu took his good friend Luo Prentiss as the prototype and created a classic image of Santa Claus, wearing a red robe and a white beard, with a kind smile, taking off his red hat in one hand and holding a bottle of Coca-Cola in the other. Later, Coca-Cola made the image of Santa Claus into a poster, and wrote a famous slogan at the bottom of the poster: "ThePauseThatRefreshes".

In the next 30 years, Hatton Sambu continued to create hundreds of advertising paintings for the Coca-Cola Company. The image of red Santa Claus he designed also occupied the whole world with the large-scale sales of Coca-Cola, so red Santa Claus became the standard image of Santa Claus.

Today, Santa Claus has become a symbol of global culture.

It is no exaggeration to say that the Coca-Cola Company itself unified the image of Santa Claus. Therefore, Coca-Cola Company also registered the image of Santa Claus as its own trademark.

Yes, the Coca-Cola Company has created the classic image of Santa Claus, and in turn, the Coca-Cola Company has always benefited from it. However, the influence of Santa Claus goes far beyond this.

In the late 20th century, with the great influence of Santa Claus, Santa Claus's hometown-rovaniemi in Lapland, northern Finland, appeared as a tourist attraction. At present, there are only 50 "genuine Santas" who have been strictly examined, trained and certified in this Santa Claus village, and the appearance fee is as high as 200,000 yuan.

In this way, the influence of Santa Claus can be seen.
