Ep.16：Sharan System, The Abdiction of The Crown In Chinese History

n this episode, we explore the Shanrang system, which challenges conventional notions of hereditary succession by passing power to individuals based on their talent and moral character, rather than their bloodline. While it may seem idealistic, we question the feasibility of such a system in historical times, considering the potential threats and conspiracies that could arise from ambitious heirs. As we examine the similarities and differences between the Shanrang system and modern democracy, we touch upon the notion that power has the potential to corrupt individuals. We discuss the intricate dynamics of power in our daily lives, such as in schools, workplaces, and society at large. Join us as we unravel the historical context, the virtues, and the shortcomings of the Shanrang system. 小額贊助支持本節目： https://open.firstory.me/user/clgoul76p01ku01wg4ie6dl0y 留言告訴我你對這一集的想法： https://open.firstory.me/user/clgoul76p01ku01wg4ie6dl0y/comments Tell us what do you think about this story:https://forms.gle/YY2z8bTp1XvqhsDTA Question for us?
