What does "Gothic" mean?
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, 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 only a transliteration of German words, and all the "Goth" mentioned at ordinary times can be understood as "giving people a feeling close to God in form or feeling", such as Goth in architectural art, literature and music.

Gothic is widely used in architecture, sculpture, painting, literature, music, clothing, fonts and other artistic fields. Art is exaggerated, asymmetrical, peculiar, light, complex and decorative, and is characterized by frequent use of vertically extending lines. The main representative elements are bats, roses, solitary castles, crows, crosses, blood, black cats and so on.
