263 "Cold Politics, Hot Economy" for Six Hundred Years: Eye on East Asia During the Ming Dynasty
This episode is a recording of the activity at the "Lujiazui Book Club" on November 21. Associate Professor Kang Hao from the Department of World History at Shanghai Normal University and host Sha Qingqing engaged in a brilliant discussion revolving around the tripartite relationship between Ming Emperor Yongle Zhu Di, Ashikaga Shogun Ashikaga Yoshimitsu, and Joseon Dynasty King Taejong Yi Bang-won, as well as the competition, rise, and fall of the three East Asian countries in the 13th-14th centuries. Additionally, from a historical perspective, the episode analyzes why Japan has long remained outside the Chinese tributary system; why Ashikaga Yoshimitsu broke tradition by actively requesting to pay tribute to the Ming Dynasty and being invested as the so-called "King of Japan"; and why the political and cultural traditions of China and Japan are "similar in form but different in spirit."

263 “政冷经热”六百年：大明年间的东亚观察局
本期节目为11月21日“陆家嘴读书会”的活动录音。 上师大世界史系康昊副教授与主播沙青青，围绕明成祖朱棣、室町幕府将军足利义满以及朝鲜王朝太宗李芳远的三方关系以及13-14世纪东亚三国的竞逐兴衰，展开了一场精彩的讨论。 此外，还会从历史的角度出发，来解析日本为何长期游离在中华朝贡体系之外；而足利义满又为何会打破传统，主动要求向大明朝贡并被册封为所谓“日本国王”以及中日两国的政治文化传统又为何是“形似神异”。
