●The Tortuous History of the Louvre 卢浮宫的曲折历史
Louvre has a very tortuous history. It was founded in 1204，when it was only the castle of Augustus II Palace, mainly used to store royal files and treasures, and his dogs and war prisoners, known as the Louvre at that time.During Charles V period, it was used as the Palace.In the following 350 years, the royal families built magnificent towers and chic rooms constantly for pleasure.
In mid-16th century, Francis I came to the throne and then demolished the palace. He ordered the people to re-build a palace on the basis of theoriginal castle, also bought the Italian painter's paintings, including Mona Lisa and other treasures.When Henry II, the son of Francis I reigned, he re-built part of the buildings that his father had destroyed, and added the decoration of French Renaissance architectural art.Then Henry IV reigned, and spent 13 years building a large gallery, and planting, raising birds and dogs, and even hunting foxes on horseback in the corridor.
Louis XIV was the famous King in the history of France. His life was obsessed with art and architecture，.He changed the Louvre into a square courtyard and built a magnificent gallery outside the courtyard.He bought the paintings from Europe.During the following reign of Louis XVI, the famous 1789 Revolution broke out, and he built the first the guillotine of French Revolution in the"Arena"of the Louvre.
In 1798，Napoleon I moved into the Louvre, and built more houses in the periphery of the building. He continued to expand outwards, rule the roost in Europe and move all the best works of art into the Louvre.Later, Napoleon III was an ambitious emperor, and built more buildings within 5 years than all the buildings in the last 700 years.The magnificent Louvre changed into a place of royal celebration.
卢浮宫有着非常曲折的历史。它始建于1204年，当时只是奥古斯特二世皇宫的城堡，主要用于存放王室的档案和珍宝，同时也存放他的狗和战俘，当时就称为卢浮宫。查理五世时期，卢浮宫被作为皇宫。在以后的350年中，王室贵族为了寻欢作乐，不断增建了华丽的楼塔和别致的房间。
16世纪中叶，弗朗西斯一世继承王位后，便把这座宫殿拆毁了。他下令在原来城堡的基础上重新建筑一座宫殿，还购买了意大利画家的绘画，包括《蒙娜丽莎》等珍品。他的儿子亨利二世即位后，把他父亲毁掉的部分重新建造起来，还增添了法国文艺复兴时期建筑艺术的装饰。亨利四世即位后花了13年的工夫建造了大画廊，还在这里栽满了树木，养了鸟和狗，甚至在走廊中骑着马追捕狐狸。
路易十四是法国历史上著名的国王，他一生迷恋艺术和建筑，把卢浮宫建成了正方形的庭院，并在庭院外面修建了富丽堂皇的画廊。他购买了欧洲各派的绘画。接下来的路易十六在位期间，爆发了著名的1789年大革命，在卢浮宫“竞技场”院子里建立了法国革命的第一个断头台。
1798年，拿破仑一世搬进了卢浮宫，在这座建筑的外围修建了更多的房子。他不断地向外扩张，并称雄于欧洲，把欧洲其他国家所能提供的最好的艺术品搬进了卢浮宫。后来的拿破仑三世是一位野心勃勃的皇帝，他在5年内的建筑比所有的前辈在700年内修建的还要多。富丽堂皇的卢浮宫变成了皇家庆祝活动的场所。

The woman is sitting elegantly, with a subtle smile.It is said that whether you're standing in front of her or on the sides of her, her eyes are always staring at you, and even seems to wink at you.Her smile is not common, but of a mysterious romantic charm, and the dreamlike charming smile is now known as the"mysterious smile".
《蒙娜丽莎》代表了达·芬奇的最高艺术成就，成功地塑造了资本主义上升时期一位城市有产阶级的妇女形象。画中人物坐姿优雅，笑容微妙。据说，无论你站在她的正面还是两侧，她的目光总是盯着你，甚至似乎在向你眨眼睛。她的笑容也不一般，具有一种神秘莫测的神韵，那如梦似的妩媚微笑，如今被称为“神秘的微笑”。
