Many people believe that China's Cultural Revolution in the 1960s-70s destroyed Chinese morality and ethics.

西方歷史學者最推崇中國歷史上的宋帝國 31:43

4M ago31:43

31:43

西方史學家推崇宋朝勝過唐朝之原因雖然華人皆稱頌「大唐盛世」，但西方史學家實際上認為宋朝才是中國歷史巔峰。國祚更長：宋朝三百一十九年，超越唐朝二百九十六年。經濟繁榮：唐都長安終其一朝皆有糧食問題，反觀宋都汴京、臨安不僅自給自足，更能輸出糧食供養周邊數個府縣人民。文化成就：張擇端《清明上河圖》展現前所未有的都市繁榮與文化精緻。外交智慧：宋朝偏好外交解決而非暴力。唐朝軍事征伐雖擴張疆域，卻常涉及屠城、和親等殘酷手段。領導遠見：宋太祖趙匡胤親歷戰爭慘烈，刻意限制武將權力以防衝突，與唐朝暴力權鬥形成對比。宋朝重視經濟發展、文化進步與外交談判勝過軍事征服，更符合現代史學價值觀，故西方史學家偏好此被忽視的中華文明黃金時代。 #西方史學家論中國#兩宋時期#大唐盛世#存在#經濟發展#糧食自給率#…

台灣藝人附和中國政府聲明的背後要負最大責任的其實是台灣的政府 34:09

7M ago34:09

34:09

本集主要探討台灣藝人因迎合中國市場而發表親中言論的現象，以及政府應如何因應。講者首先批判藝人言論，但接著分析其背後原因：台灣演藝市場規模小，藝人依賴中國市場求生存。講者提出短期、中期、長期解決方案：短期內政府應嚴厲懲處；中期加強執行既有法規，甚至取消健保、勞保等資格；長期則需改善教育，培養藝人多元技能，並調整台灣影視產業規模，降低對中國市場的依賴。講者以美國演藝圈為例，說明美國藝人擁有更多元的背景和職業選擇，呼籲台灣政府檢討教育制度，提升藝人競爭力。最終結論是政府應負起主要責任，而非單純懲罰藝人。 #人為財死鳥為食亡#拜金主義者#社會達爾文主義#市場法則#一文錢逼死英雄好漢#濫用言論自由留言告訴我你對這一集的想法： https://open.firstory.me/user/ckeii…
