What do the three red crosses on those buildings in Holland mean?

Amsterdam was founded in 12.

In the 20th century, it was still a lowland swamp, not even the so-called "new land of Haipu". In order to compete with the sea, people build windmills to pump water and seawalls to block water. What residents are most worried about is that the last reclaimed land was accidentally flooded.

Therefore, drawing a big cross on "water" instead of "water" to destroy it became the origin of the first symbol. Water, water, don't destroy, don't destroy.

In a sense, the trident is a bit like a Taoist spell. There are "forks" standing everywhere to drive away difficulties and avoid disasters. It can be said that it is a "fork" with infinite magic! It turns out that the Netherlands has ancient folk customs and unknown loveliness.

The second fork stands for "fire"

Fire has always been a nightmare in traditional wooden towns. Whether in the East or the West, Zhu Rong always threatens residents' property, and Amsterdam is no exception. When a wooden building catches fire, it often leads to disaster and has been implicated countless times. After several serious fires in Amsterdam, almost all the wooden houses were burned down. /kloc-After the 6th century, the municipal government even banned the use of wood to build houses in some areas. These changes have formed a special architectural style in this area.

After the completion of Shi Zhuan House, people in Amsterdam thought that brick houses were not beautiful, so they used to build a "gable" with stones and stick it on the front of the house as a facade to beautify the appearance. Because such a house is made of bricks and stones from beginning to end, the house is naturally not afraid of fire and is no longer worried about Zhu Rong's ravages.

The third fork stands for "Black Death".

The last one who refused to come and go was the terrible "Black Death".

The Black Death almost "destroyed" Amsterdam at that time, and the century disaster caused a big blow to the city, because the lowlands with poor drainage made the mice with germs spread more wantonly, and the spread of the Black Death made Amsterdam enter the darkest dark period. This fork will never be forgotten by them.

〤〤〤〤 can be seen everywhere in Amsterdam.

Trident, originally the bane of the three curses in Amsterdam, became the guardian of Amsterdam after being transformed into the emblem of the city, which embodies the centripetal force of the descendants of the former, represents the spirit of the city, and connects the past and the future, from ancient times to the present.

Amsterdam, which has overcome the fire and water disease, has a clean-water boathouse.

Walking on the Trident Site, I saw this group of people living in Amsterdam, so full of vigor and vitality in the sunshine. The whole city feels comfortable and free, and the public security is much better than that of neighboring Paris.

Because most residents ride bicycles instead of walking, there is unexpectedly less smoke and dust in the urban air; Whether it is a storefront or a home facing the street, the appearance is beautifully decorated, which makes people feel relaxed and happy at first glance. The water quality of the canal is also clear and clean. Boathouse apartments that live by the water will not smell as smelly as boathouses in Asian countries when approaching.
