DENMARK
In Denmark， the sea embraces people and cities， it accompanies them in their daily life， it marks them in history.
The Danish coastline is 7，313 kilometers long. So it's no wonder that Denmark is one of the leading nations in the fishing industry， it's one of the most important producers in the world with an annual catch of 2 million tons.
The Danes prefer the graceful and modest fishing boats to the bigger and more modern factory ships. There small vessels don't go too far out to sea and often come back to base to unload their catch.
One of the most famous authors of fairy tales in the world， Hans Christian Anderson， was born in Odense in the 19th century.
This is the family home， where the author spent his childhood. His father was a modest cobbler and Hans had to struggle to attract the world's attention. Today he is highly regarded as one of the most sensitive writers of his time and was the most capable of touching the chords of the human spirit.
In the museum dedicated to him， which was set up in the house where the author was born， we find rare editions of his stories， letters， notes and manuscripts.
The most interesting items in the museum are the writer's personal effects， enabling us to picture him still at work in these rooms. Here we also find a series of original illustrations by famous artists， inspired by his fairy tales and his life.
Anderson's works are staged in Odense， with children and visitors acting out the parts. Among his famous stories are “The Ugly Ducking”and “The Princess and the Pea”。 “The little Mermaid ”went on to become the symbol of the city of Copenhagan.
The Royal family in Denmark have often made the world take notice of them. Decidedly unusual is the story linked to this type of porcelain， which is still produced by hand today， called Flora Danica because it features more than 700 Danish wild flowers.
In 1789， Christina VII of Denmark sent all the best craftsmen of the kingdom to work to create this collection in order to give it as a present to Catherine II of Russia. By the time the 1，800 pieces of the colossal work were finished， thirteen years later， Catherine II had already died.
Denmark is a beautiful and dream like place. Its beauty and serenity encourage people to create their own fairy tales.
丹麦
在丹麦，大海拥抱着这里的城市和人民。它伴随在人们的生活中，它是丹麦历史的记录者。
丹麦的海岸线长7313公里，所以丹麦无怪乎是世界最重要的渔业大国之一，二百万吨的年产量奠定了它的重要地位。
比起大型渔船和现代化工厂生产的船，丹麦人更青睐于造型优雅，大小适中的渔船。
这些小型船不会出海很远，它们经常到岸边卸货。
安徒生是世界上最著名的童话作家之一，他于19世纪出生在丹麦的Odense.
作家在这所故居里度过了童年。他的父亲是位谦逊的鞋匠，安徒生要靠自己的努力才能得到世界的认同。今天，他被公认为是当时最具灵气的作家之一，他的作品能够深深打动人的心灵。
安徒生博物馆就建在他出生时的房间里，这里有作家珍贵的作品、书信、笔记及创作手稿。
博物馆中最有意思的是作家的个人财产，从中我们仿佛看到安徒生正在这里进行创作。这里还有一些著名艺术家留下的图画草稿。他们曾在作家的童话和生活中找到了灵感。安徒生的作品正在Odense上演，孩子和游人分别扮演剧中的角色。他的代表作有《丑小鸭》、《豌豆公主》。“小美人鱼”后来成为了哥本哈根的城市象征。
丹麦的皇室一直备受世人瞩目，最特别的是有关这种瓷器的故事，这种至今仍用手工制作的瓷器叫Flora Danica，它描绘出了700多种丹麦的野花。
1789年，为了给俄国女皇Catherina二世献礼，丹麦的Christina七世把国内所有优秀的工匠都派到俄国去制作这种瓷器。13年后，当1800件作品完成时，俄国女皇已经去世了。
丹麦是个如梦境般的地方，它的美丽与恬静吸引着人们来这里书写自己的童话故事。
