When does the Gothic Age refer to?
Gothic was first used in the Renaissance to distinguish the artistic style of the Middle Ages (5-65438+5th century AD), with terror, supernatural, death, decadence, witchcraft, castles, abyss, thorns, night, curse and vampires as symbolic elements.

Gothic style uses the artistic theme of darkness, fear, loneliness and despair to shuttle back and forth between the sacredness and evil in the inner world, depicting the struggle between love and despair, pain and sobs.

Goth is a transliteration of the English word Goth, from which the word Gothic (meaning "Goth") originally refers to Goths. Another saying, Gothic, comes from German Gothic, and its etymology is Goth transliteration (meaning "God"), so Gothic can also be understood as "approaching God".

"Goth" is just a transliteration of German words. All "Goths" can be understood as "giving people a feeling close to God in form or feeling", such as architectural art, literature, music and other Goths. Lori and other minor characters are also described.

Origin:

Goth, also translated as "Goth", originally meant Goth, belonging to a Germanic tribe in Western Europe. The artistic style that was first used in the Renaissance to distinguish the Middle Ages (5th ~/kloc-0th/5th century) originated from the German Goths who invaded Italy and disintegrated the Roman Empire in the 3rd ~ 5th century.

In the15th century, Italians had the idea of reviving ancient Roman culture, which led to the brilliant Renaissance. Because Italians can't let go of the historical hatred of the Goths who destroyed the Roman Empire, in order to distinguish it from this period, they called the artistic style of the Middle Ages "Goth", which means "barbarism".

Although the word "Goth" has some negative meanings, in fact, the meaning of Goth form in the late Middle Ages is not negative and negative, but has the characteristics of a flowing state, that is, Goth is not a fixed form, but a state and process.

It is a sign that people began to rethink the world after a long process of ideological imprisonment in the Middle Ages, which may reflect the spirit that "truth is endless, but it still needs endless pursuit".
