中國古代歷史與人物：秦始皇（Qin Shi Huang)

在近代以前，歷史學是培養各種領袖與人才的必備教育，因為它能夠使人對過去「稽其興壞成敗之理」（《史記‧太史公自序》）。「中國古代歷史與人物」這門課程希望回到歷史學的原點，藉由具體的事例，來探索「讀歷史到底有什麼用？」。從東周到秦漢是中國歷史上承先啟後的鉅變時期，更是一個英雄輩出、波瀾壯闊的大時代。而秦始皇正是主導這個時代，且令後世爭議不絕的歷史關鍵人物之一。本課程將利用現代歷史學的各種取徑，以原典史料為中心，結合考古成果、古代文物等，對歷史人物進行多角度的剖析，探索秦始皇及其統治集團成功和失敗的祕密究竟何在，並希望使同學藉此明瞭歷史學的功用與價值。

吕师所教导的思辨，受益终生。本课对秦始皇及其它人物做了分析。很多都是自己读史书所不能够悟到的。感谢！

意识到历史知识的正确打开方式，饶有兴趣的看完了整个课程，期间还看完了“大秦帝国-分裂”，不只是商鞅和秦孝公的惺惺相惜，更有古人的气节和魄力，让我心生佩服。这些都要归功于老师的指引，谢谢！
