How was the British aristocracy tempered?
Speaking of Britain, our traditional impression is that it rains continuously, and there are many gentlemen who like to play umbrellas. This is our stereotype of Britain. But it must be said that Britain is indeed famous for its aristocratic education and gentleman culture. Contrary to most people's cognition, the aristocratic education advocated by Britain is not pampered in the literal sense. The aristocratic schools in Britain are often known for their militarization and strict management.

The aristocratic spirit advocated by Britain is not the nouveau riche spirit, which is never opposed to the civilian spirit, let alone a luxurious life, but a pioneering spirit centered on a series of values such as honor, responsibility, courage and self-discipline.

William and Prince Harry of England were both sent by the royal family to study in the Army Academy. After graduation, Prince Harry was even sent to the front line of Afghanistan as a gunner. The British royal family knows the nobility of Prince Harry's status and the danger of the front, but they realize that it is the duty or obligation of the nobility to sacrifice themselves and take risks for the country.

Many aristocratic schools in Britain have a history of 100 years, with rich learning atmosphere and profound accumulation. Schools generally occupy a large area and are usually equipped with indoor heated swimming pools, tennis courts, golf courses and other facilities. Some schools also have their own racetracks and stables, which provide a perfect basic environment for students' all-round development.

At the same time, British aristocratic education attaches great importance to students' personal care, and each student is specially equipped with a private tutor, which is very strict with work and rest. Students should get up early every morning, go to church in formal clothes, greet the beginning of the day with a dignified image and run in the cold wind in winter.

For example, Eton College, a world-famous British aristocratic school, not only teaches students academic knowledge, but also pays attention to cultivating students' all-round development personality. 50% of the school schedule is physical education class. They advocate that middle school students should take an active part in sports, especially team sports.

Eaton only needs half the time to complete the courses in English ordinary middle schools. In the rest of the time, students are arranged to learn various aristocratic sports, such as equestrian, rowing and fencing. The school hopes to better cultivate students' awareness of independence, communication, teamwork, persistence, leadership and fair competition through sports spirit. Equestrian is highly valued by schools because of its long history.

Since ancient times, British royal aristocrats have been keen to show their elegant manners and aristocratic temperament through equestrian, and it has gradually become one of the most "fashionable" sports of the aristocratic class. On this basis, modern equestrian originated in Britain and developed into a variety of sports after many years. Today, not only in Britain, but also in Europe, royal nobles are still required to practice this sport from an early age. Many people are outstanding representatives of equestrian image at a young age.

For example, the following:

British Princess Zara Phillips

Zara is not only the fourth equestrian world champion born in British history, but also the second equestrian princess from the British royal family.
