Gothic architecture is famous for its free architectural style. Hurd's aesthetic relativity makes Gothic architecture get rid of the hat of classicism: "When an architect measures Gothic structure by Greek standards, what he sees is nothing more than deformity, and Gothic architecture has its own rules and scales. According to their own laws, Gothic architecture and Greek architecture have their own advantages. "

To talk about the architectural history of Notre Dame de Paris, we have to start with the Gothic architecture in Paris. From about AD 1 150, Romanesque architecture declined and was replaced by a completely different Gothic style, which inherited the architectural technology and artistic characteristics of Romanesque architecture. Gothic architecture is an important type in the history of world architecture, which is famous for its bold structural conception and romantic style.

Notre Dame de Paris is well known. Notre Dame de Paris is not only a masterpiece of French Gothic architecture, but also a world-famous building, enjoying the reputation of "the most beautiful Gothic church". Notre Dame de Paris runs east-west, standing at the southeast end of Dai Xi Island on the Seine River, facing the equally prestigious Louvre and Paris City Hall across the river, with tens of millions of tourists visiting it every year.

Notre Dame can't be mentioned without mentioning Dai Xi Island. As the historical starting point of Paris, it bears more historical and cultural implications of the French nation. Dai Xi Island, also known as Xidi Island and City Island, is located in the Seine River, the second longest river in Paris.

Dai Xi Island means "city and region" in both French and English, and Paris, the international metropolis we see today, has developed from Dai Xi Island. The Seine River, which runs through the city, is endless, winding and full of amorous feelings. Like a green ribbon, around Paris, Paris is like a "daughter of the Seine", lying quietly in her mother's arms. No wonder many Parisians call them "loving mothers".

As a unique Gothic building without bell tower and twin towers in the world, it is famous for its perfect sense of symmetry, and the special flat-topped twin tower structure of the church has been preserved to this day.

The main facade on the west side of the church is divided into three layers, and the columns divide the whole facade into nine symmetrical and harmonious rectangles. The horizontal and vertical proportions of these rectangles are close to the golden section value, showing the rare aestheticism and harmony in Gothic architecture. The towering shape blends with the towering bell tower, which is magnificent.
