I'm Aaron! I spent 6 years learning Spanish in school, and graduated barely able to speak at all. That was before I learned HOW to learn languages. Now I speak English, Spanish, French, Esperanto, some Thai, and I'm actively learning Greek. Stick around and we'll discuss what you should be doing to finally learn that language that's been on your mind. A new language will enhance your life!

中國戲曲源自新石器時代的巫術儀式,經歷漢代百戲、唐代戲弄和北宋雜劇,在北宋末融匯了多種形式的演出藝術、民歌、文人曲子及多種演唱文類,發展成戲曲鼻祖「南戲」。粵劇是清代地方劇種百花齊放的產品,既保留着近乎巫術儀式的《祭白虎》,也承傳着崑曲牌子、秦腔梆子、徽劇二黃、宋明南戲和元雜劇的劇目,堪稱中國戲曲的縮影。本講座概述當代香港粵劇的傳承狀況和中國戲曲的歷史面貌,從中探討粵劇如何保留和發展傳統戲曲的元素。講座將論及粵劇神功戲的演出、《祭白虎》儀式、戲班結構、行當、劇目題材、唱腔特點和傳承。

古代中國幅員遼闊,習俗各異,如何實行統一管理是一大難題。秦朝用嚴刑峻法移風易俗,激起東方社會的激烈反抗,很快歸於失敗。西漢初年郡國並行,允許東方王國在一定程度上從俗而治。但王國勢力太大,危及國家的統一,文景二帝不得不收奪諸侯王的自治權。為了避免重蹈亡秦覆轍,儒生們提出“德教”主張,其中又包含“以禮為治”和“以德化民”兩種方案。受其影響,武帝以後的朝廷政策繼續表現出大幅度搖擺,至漢末魏晉才確立了基本符合當時國情的治理模式。
