1. After introducing what I know about knight literature, I will briefly introduce what I know about knight custom-knight reward system: before becoming a knight, young knights must go through probation, usually as attendants of superior lords to learn martial arts and etiquette. Etiquette is basically taught by the Lord's wife, so "ladies first" naturally becomes the first creed of knights. When a trainee knight makes meritorious deeds, or wins honors at the tournament meeting (most of them are taken casually), he can be named a knight. When sealed, the trainee knight kneels on the ground, the Lord or king pulls out his sword, taps it on the left and right shoulders of the sealed person, and some even give a belt and spurs representing knight status. At the end of the "Battle of Rhode Island" animation, the ceremony of the mercenary king sealing Parker was handled according to this, but no reward was seen. It is said that the knighthood of the Queen of England is still the same. After being blocked, a knight becomes a knight of a certain court, and has the obligation to serve the court, or travel abroad, participate in contests, make meritorious deeds, and increase the glory of the court with his own reputation. The status symbol of a higher-ranking nobleman is a necklace hung on his chest and so on, so in Shakespeare's Henry V, after the charges of two traitors were announced, this thing was torn down first, and then it was torn down.

2. The symmetry of western chivalrous literature is that of eastern chivalrous literature, including ancient Japanese literature, Warring States literature, and many works describing chivalrous ninjas in the Edo period. In terms of movies, there are many masterpieces represented by Akira Kurosawa's works (I finally understand where the nondescript characters in Hong Kong drama costume films come from after reading them). In fact, many Japanese cartoons and games are related to these histories. If you lack this knowledge, you will often be confused. So there are many related websites in China. I believe that no matter how I write, they can't surpass the level of the Red Army and others. It is better to hide others.

3. In the past, when discussing whether there were martial arts works in the West on the Internet, some people quoted domestic films Don Juan and Zorro, as well as the D version of Legend of the King, Indiana Jones and Robin Hood (old version) as evidence, but Don Juan was far from the original: Don Juan was always played by women despite his strong swordsmanship. I haven't read the original literature (it is said to exist), so I won't say it.

4. It is mentioned in "Young Xia Yin Ji" and "Riptide" that with the development of firearms, military fortifications have developed by leaps and bounds, and a defensive structure called "redoubt" has emerged. But these two books only have nouns and no explanations, which have bothered me for several years. Later, I came to Hanover, Germany, and stayed in a small hotel in the suburbs. I came across a map of the ancient city of Hanover (the capital of the kingdom of Hanover) and suddenly realized. Then I went to Hanover City Hall to study the model, and finally understood that if a fortification is built into a straight square, four corners will easily produce dead ends, and two corners on one side will hardly support each other. Moreover, the perimeter of the rectangle is short, which is not conducive to the deployment of defense forces. The so-called "redoubt" is actually a model put forward to overcome these disadvantages-cutting off the corners of the quadrilateral and building a small pentagonal fortress protruding from the corners instead; If the city wall is very long, build a small pentagonal fortress protruding outward on the city wall in sections (just like the famous Coach curve in fractal mathematics). These fortresses can not only support each other, or are traditionally called "horns", but also increase the actual perimeter of the city wall, which is convenient for launching defensive forces, dispersing offensive forces and keeping the enemy out of the country. In contrast, the "Wengcheng" in the East such as China and South Korea, or the "neon gate" in spring, is a bit like "closing the door and beating the dog". It is also interesting to compare the two, one is extroverted and the other is introverted.

I feel that Nordic mythology and Viking samurai have really been forgotten, and the related movies have only seen 13 warrior (translated as "The Ultimate Raiders"). I don't know if there are any others. Which expert can give me some advice?
