视频简介
Katherine of Alexandria, brought up as a nomad and living in the desert, was aged just 11 when Emperor Maxentius saw her whilst out on patrol. Consumed by her beauty, impudence and uncanny talent for languages, he abducted the child, killing her family. The slaughter was witnessed by her young friend, Constantine, who would later become Emperor of the Western Roman Empire. He never lost hope of finding Katherine. As a young woman, Katherine refused to submit to Maxentius' offers of marriage and she continually denounced his brutal enforcement of pagan religion upon the masses. Still obsessed with her beauty, Maxentius brought Katherine before 50 of Rome's finest scholars in an open court in Alexandria, where she eloquently demolished their arguments. When Constantine learned of Katherine's whereabouts and imprisonment at the hands of Maxentius, he led his army from York in a desperate bid to save her.。朱熹一生忧国忧民，他在战乱中出生成长，在逆境中任职施政，在驳难中授徒著述，勤学不辍，殚精竭虑，是中华文化的集大成者和代表性人物。在中国文明进程中，朱熹的学说不仅集前人之大成并进行创新，将古代中国学术推到新的高度。从元代至清代，朱熹对四书五经的注释成为科举考试的钦定解说，其学说一直处于主流思想地位，被官方认定为正统的哲学思想。在近800年时间里，朱熹思想不仅对中国政治产生巨大影响，也对士人和民间社会产生全方位多层面影响，塑造了传统中国的家国文化、人伦道德和民族精神等。同时，朱子学还传播到东亚、东南亚，成为东亚文明的重要组成部分，近世以后更向欧美世界幅射，具有广泛的影响力。本片在再现朱熹人生轨迹的同时，也关注朱熹思想对今天中国人在思维方式、伦理教育等方面的影响，见证朱子学的长久生命力和持续影响力。。
