Dr Janina Ramirez unlocks the secrets of illuminated manuscripts that were custom-made for kings and explores the medieval world they reveal. Part 1: Ruling by the Book Janina begins her journey with the first Anglo-Saxon rulers to create a united England, encountering books in the British Library's Royal manuscripts collection which are over a thousand years old and a royal family tree which is five metres long. Janina finds out about a king who had a reputation for chasing nuns and reads a book created as a wedding gift for a ten-year-old prince. She roams from Westminster Abbey to other ancient English spiritual sites such as Winchester, St Albans and Malmesbury, and sees for herself how animal skins can be transformed into the finest vellum. Part 2: What a King Should Know Janina shows how medieval manuscripts gave power to the king and united the kingdom in an age of plague, warfare and rebellion, discovers that Edward III used the manuscripts he read as a boy to prepare him for his great victory at the battle of Crecy and reveals how a vigorous new national identity bloomed during the 100 Years War with France. In the British Library's Royal Manuscripts collection Dr Ramirez finds out that magnificent manuscripts like the Bedford Hours, taken as war booty from the French royal family, were adapted for the education of English princes. She also explores how knowledge spread through a new form of book - the encyclopaedia. Part 3: Libraries Gave Us Power The story of the British Library's Royal Manuscripts collection reaches its end with the last great flowering of illumination, in the magnificent courts of the Tudors. She investigates astrological texts created for Henry VII, and unwraps his will - still in its original, extravagantly-decorated velvet and gold cover. She hears music written for Henry VIII, which went unperformed for centuries| and reads love notes between the king and Anne Boleyn, written in the margins of a prayer book. Nina also visits Bruges, the source of many of the greatest manuscripts, where this medieval art form collided with the artistic innovations of the Renaissance. （转自mvgroup论坛）。30年代某龙年春节前后，日本佐佐木少佐接到特殊任务，暗中挑选最优秀的中国民间艺人送往日本。他与“和平建国军”团长洪奇才谋划此事。风筝王杜溪春有所察觉，嵌银王明德馨受骗不察。佐佐木与洪奇才用各种手段欺骗艺人们。刺绣王明月因反抗被击伤，杜溪春的二爷绑架洪家女儿素琴，溪春又把素琴放了。佐佐木调去前线时，命令关押所有艺人。素琴帮助溪春逃出。溪春在的游击队的帮助下，在“二月二”那天，里应外合，智胜顽敌。。清末，六岁时的小云凤（小凤仙）家遭恶运，为官的父亲被撤职查办在落魄中患病而去，母亲改嫁弃女，小云凤同奶娘相依为命，十岁时同一交意外被江南名士曾朴善意相救，从此也开始学琴棋书画，成为人见人爱的俊俏姑娘，此后也受到曾朴的资助进入上海女子学堂。 奶娘的无知、黑帮的贪焚凶残，十五岁的小云凤被逼入红尘，成为上海滩红牌名妓，开始了红尘飘零的生活……。 民国初年，袁世凯复辟将蔡锷将军软禁，蔡锷与小凤仙一见钟情成为京城的热点新闻，蔡将军正利用这一点同“红颜知已”的小凤仙演绎出“总统祝寿探虚实”“救妻救子上公堂”等一幕幕可歌可泣的故事，小凤仙深深理解了蔡锷“为救共和，护国反袁”“为四万万同胞争人格”的理念，更敬重蔡将军的人。在小凤仙的帮助下，蔡锷得以脱险，转赴云南开展护国战争，袁世凯的皇帝梦已经破灭，但蔡将军因积劳而去，小凤仙痛不欲生，她下决心随将军而去，红粉永此飘零...。
