In this episode, I speak with Pei-Chun Lee about her article "Crafting learning experiences: A case study of the National Palace Museum."

Good afternoon, I'm _____ with today's episode of EZ News. Tai-Ex opening The Tai-Ex opened up 65-points this morning from yesterday's close, at 23,449 on turnover of 4.8-billion N-T. The market rebounded on Tuesday after a slump a session earlier as artificial intelligence-related stocks were the center of investor focus on the back of a rise in Nvidia's share price on Wall Street overnight. Investors took cues from a 2.87-per cent increase in Nvidia shares on Wall Street, but the main board failed to sustain its early gains by the end of the session on the capped upturn by semiconductor stocks .. .. which dealers are attributing to lingering concerns over possible massive tariffs on chips by U-S President Donald Trump. Ministers hold talks to promote cultural diplomacy in Japan, Europe Foreign Minister Lin Chia-lung and Culture Minister Li Yuan have held talks to discuss "cultural diplomacy" -- with a particular focus on the upcoming Expo 2025 in Japan and cultural events in Europe. According to the foreign ministry, it was the first time the two ministries have held minister-level talks and Deputy Foreign Minister Francois Wu and Deputy Culture Minister Sue Wang were also in attendance. The ministry says, both sides talked about combining their resources to boost Taiwan's visibility (能見度) on the world stage and one focus was the upcoming Osaka World Expo, which will be held between April and October. Another topic on the agenda was how Taiwan could took advantage of the National Palace Museum's upcoming exhibitions in the Czech Republic and France later this year. CDC reporting highest weekly flu-related medical visits in a decade The Centers for Disease Control says the number of outpatient (門診) and emergency visits due to flu-like illness recorded last week was the highest number for the same period since the 2015-2016 flu season. According to the C-D-C, a total of 181,995 flu-like illness-related outpatient and emergency visits were reported from February 2 to 8. C-D-C Epidemic Intelligence Center Director Kuo Hung-wei says the number of flu cases with severe complications is also rising, with 128 severe cases and 28 flu-related deaths recorded from February 4 to this past Monday. Most of those cases were linked to H-1-N-1 infections. Russia Frees American Prisoner Russia has freed American detainee (被拘留者) Marc Fogel. The 63-year-old school teacher was released from prison on Tuesday, according to US National Security Advisor Mike Waltz. He'd been arrested for the illegal possession of cannabis back in 2021 and was given a 14-year prison sentence, which the United States viewed as "wrongful." Benji Hyer reports. UN Warns of Congo Displacement The U.N. says more than 110-thousand displaced people have in recent days left settlement camps in eastern Congo's cities controlled by Rwanda-backed rebels after the rebels were accused of forced camp closures. The U.N.'s humanitarian aid coordination agency said Tuesday that the M23 rebels issued a 72-hour ultimatum for people to leave the camps but later clarified that such movement is voluntary. Associated Press journalists witnessed some of the displaced people packing up what is left of their belongings and dismantling makeshift shelters. The forced camp closures have worsened (惡化) what is already one of the world's largest humanitarian crises. At least 500-thousand people have reportedly been displaced in the region following the M23's advance. That was the I.C.R.T.

Unit 5 A History Lesson in the Southern Branch of the National Palace Museum 曾經，想要親近台灣百年文物的唯一的選擇是台北的國立故宮博物院。如今，故宮南院在嘉義縣崛起，成為了探索豐富文化遺產的新亮點。這不僅僅是一座博物館，更是地區平衡發展的關鍵。來看看這座結合現代設計與傳統元素的建築如何引領你步入一段文化與歷史的深度旅程吧！

John chats with veteran Hong Kong-based journalist and author of The Island (2024) Mark O'Neill, who tells us what Taiwan was like in the early 1980s, when he first came to study Chinese. Despite a mysterious knife attack and various authoritarian elements (such as “mail boxes” for reporting spies and subversives), he loved the country. Over the next four decades, he made numerous trips back, witnessing and reporting on Taiwan's transformation from one party rule to an admirable democracy. The Island is not Mark's first Taiwan book – earlier works include ones on Buddhist charity Tzu Chi and the National Palace Museum – so he brings both depth and breadth to his entertaining look at the country.

Det finns historiska namn som alla reagerar på, även om det är få som kan säga när personen levde och exakt vad han eller hon gjorde sig känd för. Flera av dessa världshistoriens kändisar är människor som vi påfallande helst hade varit utan – blodbesudlade krigsledare och hänsynslösa diktatorer som Caesar, Attila, Napoleon, Hitler och Stalin. Men ingen är lika mytomspunnen och fruktad som Djingis khan, den mongoliska nationens fader.Egentligen hette han Temüdjin. Fadern var härskare över en av de många smärre nomadiska grupperingarna på stäppen i dagens Mongoliet, men i Temüdjins barn- och ungdom fanns det inget som varslade om att han som vuxen skulle förena alla stammarna till ett enda folk, och ingen förväntade sig att han skulle bygga upp ett av de största imperier som jorden skådat. Likväl var detta vad som skedde. Genom en kombination av politisk och diplomatisk skicklighet och militär genialitet skapade Djingis khan i början av 1200-talet en centralasiatisk stormakt som slukade alla grannriken som vågade trotsa honom, från Iran i väster till Kina i öster. Historierna om hans grymhet och oövervinnerlighet spreds över hela kontinenten, men Djingis khan var betydligt mer än en durkdriven och skoningslös erövrare. Han var också en kulturfurste av rang som gav sitt mongoliska folk både skriftspråk och lagstiftning.I detta avsnitt av podden Harrisons dramatiska historia samtalar Dick Harrison, professor i historia vid Lunds universitet, och fackboksförfattaren Katarina Harrison Lindbergh om Djingis khan, en av de största och mest skräckinjagande härskarna i världshistorien.Klippare: Aron SchuurmanProducent: Urban LindstedtBild: Djingis khan, National Palace Museum; Taizu, mer känd som Genghis Khan.

The treasures of the National Palace Museum, originally the Forbidden City, followed China's path. They escaped the invading Japanese by leaving Beijing, first for Shanghai, then Nanjing and then followed southern, central and northern routes to Sichuan and safety. The Chinese government followed a similar path, as did countless Chinese individuals and families. Japanese bombers followed these refugees west, devastating China. But the Chinese people, Chinese government, Chinese culture and the antiquities from the National Palace Museum survived the Sino-Japanese War. This is the story of China's survival during the war.Topics like wartime inflation, the Chinese victory at Taierzhuang and the government decision to breach the Yellow River dikes and to flood Chinese land are also discussed.Image Source: National Palace MuseumMain Source: Brookes, Adam.

A new branch of the Palace Museum has been under construction since December 30, 2022, set to be a brand-new addition to the national museum complex housed in the Forbidden City, in Beijing. The whole construction area of the new branch is more than 100,000 square meters. Work is expected to be completed in 2025, in time to mark the 100th anniversary of the founding of the Palace Museum.2022年12月30日，立项筹备已近十年之久的故宫博物院北院区正式破土动工。2025年，故宫博物院建院100周年时，北院区将全面建成，建筑面积将超过10万平方米。The Palace Museum is built on the Forbidden City, the imperial palace of the Ming and Qing dynasties. It is the largest ancient architecture complex in China with more than 1,000 cultural relic buildings, covering an area of more than 100 hectares.故宫博物院是我国规模最大的古建筑群，占地面积100多公顷，有房屋类文物建筑1000多座。At present, over a quarter of the Palace Museum is used as offices or warehouses. After the new branch is built, many cultural relics will be placed there. Museum officials said that the northern branch will provide much bigger spaces for exhibition curators and relic conservators.当下，故宫本院有25%的地方现在还被办公、库房等占用。北院区的库房建好以后，很多文物要放到北院区，展览的环境条件、文物修复用房以及一些特大型文物的修复将得到极大改善。Du Haijiang, deputy director of the Palace Museum and chief supervisor of construction, said in an interview with China Central Television broadcast, "It's the key to solving problems faced by the Forbidden City."故宫博物院党委书记、副院长、故宫博物院北院区项目总指挥都海江介绍，这是为了解决安全问题。The collection of cultural relics in the Palace Museum is large in number, rich in categories, and highly precious, which is unique in the world. The Palace Museum has 1.86 million pieces of cultural relics in its collection. With time elapsing, the materials of calligraphy, painting, textiles and other cultural relics will gradually dim, and traditional adhesive will fail, which increases the demand for the protection and restoration of cultural relics.故宫文物收藏数量之大，品类之丰富，珍贵性之高，在世界上都独一无二。故宫博物院有186万件馆藏文物，随着时间的推移，书画、纺织品等文物的物质载体会逐渐加快性能衰减，传统黏结剂等材料也会逐渐功能减退，这就使得文物保护和修复的需求增加。However, the artifact restoration is subject to many constraints. Qu Feng, deputy director of the relic restoration department of the National Palace Museum, said that the restoration of cultural relics depends on seasons. Spring and autumn are relatively good seasons for relic restoration because the temperature and humidity are more appropriate.不过，修复文物受到很多条件制约。故宫博物院文保科技部副主任屈峰介绍，修复文物要有季节性选择，环境条件非常重要。春天或秋天温度、湿度相对较好.Things will change when the new branch is built. Du said, the new branch will help solve the museum's lack of space for the restoration and repair part of the cultural relics. In addition, visitors to the new branch will be able to view the artifact restoration process and gain first-hand experience of the workers' exquisite techniques.都海江称，北院区建成后，将扩大文物修复的空间，可以更加充分应用现代科技升级文物修复仪器设备，加快故宫文物修复和保护的速度。它还是开放式的，能让更多观众看到修复的精湛技艺。The conditions for exhibitions will be greatly improved as well. Now it is estimated that only 10,000 cultural relics can be moved out of the museum's warehouses for public viewing each year. The new branch was designed to house 12 exhibition halls within a display area of around 35,000 square meters. Du said, "After the completion of the new northern branch, the number of relics on display each year will increase to 20,000 to 30,000."展出条件也将大大改善。目前，故宫博物院每年能展陈的文物不到1万件。故宫博物院北院区建成后，会有12个依托高科技、现代化技术的展厅，大概35000平方米的展厅面积，展览展出条件将得到根本性的改善和提升。都海江介绍，北院区建成以后，每年展出的文物数量会达到2万到3万件，除了实物展览以外，也会有数字化展览。In addition to that, the Palace Museum itself is also a cultural relic. Sun Miao, deputy director of the exhibition department of the Palace Museum, introduced the Palace Museum as the world's largest and best-preserved wooden palace complex. When holding exhibitions, the top priority is to protect the Palace Museum itself.除此之外，故宫博物院本身也是文物。故宫博物院展览部副主任孙淼介绍，故宫博物院是世界上规模最大、保存最完整的木结构宫殿建筑群。在办展览时，首先需要保护故宫博物院。After repeated discussions and rigorous analysis, the construction site is settled on the north side of the Cuijiayao Reservoir in Beijing's Haidian District. It is a piece of land with a natural look.经过了反复的论证研究，故宫博物院的选择最后定在了北京市海淀区的崔家窑水库北侧。Though the new branch is not boxy as the Palace Museum, its designing inspiration comes from the traditional features of the Palace Museum, including elements like the skyline and the central axis.即使北院区建设用地不同于紫禁城的方方正正，是一块具有自然风貌的土地，但其设计灵感来自中国传统元素，有中轴线，也有与故宫一样的天际线。The new branch of the Palace Museum will fully integrate modern technology and green architecture, becoming a modern exhibition space with multiple functions to provide relic preservation, restoration work, and visitor services.故宫博物院北院区充分融入了现代科技应用和绿色建筑理念，建成后将是一个现代化的文物保护利用空间，也将有效缓解大型珍贵文物科学保护和展示利用问题，形成有故宫特色的现代展览体系。观众也将体验到更加优质的参观服务和文化服务。

Last year I spoke with T.H. Schee about Taiwan's civil defense preparedness in episode 178. This was a hot topic of discussion in Taiwan after Russia's invasion of Ukraine in February of 2023. It made the military threat that the people of Taiwan face from the People's Republic of China very real. A year has passed since Russia's invasion and I wanted to bring T.H. back for a follow up conversation about this and how the government and people of Taiwan have adjusted and continue to deal with the situation there. We also touched upon some recent news stories in Taiwan that are related to the topic of internet security. Next week we'll be sharing the second part of my interview with T.H. about AI.  We'll be talking about ChatGPT, Baidu's chatbot Ernie and what concerns in particular that Taiwan should have about AI.

Additionally, on May 19, 2022, due to staff mishandling, a Qing dynasty “blue-and-white floral plate” fell and broke. 吳在新聞發布會上說，2021年2月3日和2022年4月7日，工作人員在整理文物時，打開包裝發現一個明朝（1368-1644）“黃茶杯兩青龍”和一個 清代（1636-1911）“龍紋黃茶杯”受損。此外，2022年5月19日，由於工作人員處理不當，一件清代“青花盤”摔碎。 Wu said the broken pieces were classified as “ordinary artifacts” and not “important artifacts” or “national treasure,” which was why the incidents did not warrant public announcements. The museum had been waiting to confirm liabilities before reporting that the “blue-and-white floral plate” had been broken due to mishandling. 吳說，這些碎片被歸類為“普通文物”，而不是“重要文物”或“國寶”，這就是為什麼這些事件不值得公開的原因。 博物館一直在等待確認責任，然後才報告“青花盤”因處理不當而損壞。 Top 10 KTV Mandarin songs in Taiwan While checking the latest list of the top 10 most popular KTV Mandopop songs in Taiwan, a PTT user noticed that an old Jay Chou (周杰倫) song is No. 7 on the list.

In this episode, Sean talks about some of the new scholarships and perspectives on the famous Zheng He voyages. Zheng He is widely known to history as the eunuch admiral who led several large-scale voyages to Southeast Asia and the Indian Ocean. For many Chinese, the story of Zheng He and his travels to the Indian Ocean (鄭和下西洋) is often seen as a symbol of China's friendship and diplomatic and commercial engagement with Southeast Asian, the Indian Ocean, and east African polities. For many in the West, Zheng He's voyages represent a period in time when China dominated the maritime world. But for both Chinese and Western audiences, the end of the voyages in the 1430s marked the end of China's engagement with the maritime world and is often viewed as the Ming's turn towards isolationism. However, new scholarships have emerged challenging this narrative. Sean discusses how these scholarships have led us to reevaluate the Zheng He voyages and what we can learn about the early Ming and early Ming diplomacy from them.

His work focuses on East and Southeast Asian diplomatic encounters from the thirteenth to eighteenth centuries, tracing the development of new shared diplomatic norms following the Mongol conquests of Eurasia, as well as how rulers and scholar-officials in the Ming (1368- 1644) and Qing Dynasties (1644-1911) institutionalized and challenged these new norms. He explores how ideas of multipolarity, regime legitimacy, and the makeup of the interstate order came under debate throughout the Mongol Empire, Ming China, the Qing Empire, Chosŏn Korea, Dai Viet (Northern Vietnam), Japan, the Ayutthaya Kingdom of Thailand, the Pagan Kingdom of Burma, and beyond. He works with sources in Chinese (literary Sinitic), Japanese, Thai, Burmese, Manchu, and Dutch. Yiming Ha Yiming Ha is a Ph.D. candidate in the Department of History at the University of California, Los Angeles. His current research is on military mobilization and state-building in China between the thirteenth and seventeenth centuries, focusing on how military institutions changed over time, how the state responded to these changes, the disconnect between the center and localities, and the broader implications that the military had on the state. His project highlights in particular the role of the Mongol Yuan in introducing an alternative form of military mobilization that radically transformed the Chinese state. He is also interested in military history, nomadic history, comparative Eurasian state-building, and the history of maritime interactions in early modern East Asia. He received his BA from UCLA and his MPhil from the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology.

Joy is from Taiwan and has dual citizenship (U.S/Taiwan) and this is what enabled her to visit the National Palace Museum in Taipei where she got to see the Jadeite Cabbage with Insects.

Taipei, Taiwan is a vibrant city that is rich in culture, history, street food, and religion. It’s safe, super-friendly, convenient and probably undervalued compared to the super Asian city destinations of Hong Kong, Tokyo, Singapore, Seoul. Ironically many residents of those cities choose Taipei as a destination, enjoying some of those qualities that their city once had or simply lacks. Why the title 8+3 Awesome Sights To See/Do? Well most in Asia would be clued in to the significance of the number 8 and 3. In Chinese,(Mandarin), the word eight sounds similar to the word for prosper or wealth. It’s also similar sounding in Cantonese. The number 8 is an auspicious number. The number three sounds similar to the character for birth and is also considered a lucky number. There are three stages to a person’s life-birth, marriage, and death. So my wish is for prosperity and good luck for all those that visit Taipei, Taiwan and for the people of the city that have treated me with such great kindness and hospitality for the past 4 years. Would love to get your feedback on the video and ideas for future content. Also what other countries do you like to visit in Asia? Thanks again with many blessings to you!

  In this episode Gary Bembridge of TipsForTravellers.com, provides a historical overview, need-to-know facts as well as inspiration, advice and tips for visiting Taipei Taiwan. This is a revisit to Taipei and has all new information and suggestions. On my recent visit I came to appreciate the city more and found new and exciting areas and sights to explore. I was struck by its modernity and energy. Although there are not many western tourists, it is a big tourist destination for Asian visitors, but was welcoming and easy for English-speakers to explore. It has a fascinating and dramatic history when the government of China fled here with around 2 million refugees after losing the fight against the Communist uprising in 1949. In the podcast hear about the must-see sights including: Taipei 101. Chiang Kai-shek Memorial Hall, with the National Concert Hall and National Theatre in same park complex. Presidential Office Building. National Sun Yat-sen Memorial Hall. Longshan Temple, Xingtian Temple and Dalongdong Baoan Temple. National Palace Museum. Taipei Zoo. Shinlin Night Market.

Merilyn Fairskye, Associate Professor, Photomedia, Sydney College of the Arts, University of Sydney Ukraine has been the site of volatile political, social and cultural change over hundreds of years. The 1986 Chernobyl nuclear accident is of a different order of magnitude to everything that has gone before. This paper draws on two field trips to Ukraine and the new work Fairskye created to consider what it is an artist can excavate in the aftermath of such a catastrophe. It also considers the differences between artistic and documentary forms of expression. A/Prof Merilyn Fairskye makes videos and photography. Her videos have been screened in film and video festivals around the world including the International Film Festival Rotterdam; Videobrasil; Sydney Film Festival and in art museums including Tate Modern London; Stedelijk Museum, Amsterdam, Museum of Contemporary Art, Sydney, and the National Palace Museum, Taipei.
