"The Renaissance: Unleashing Knowledge"

1. Trivium (humanitarian) includes grammar, logic, and rhetoric. Quadrivium (science) includes arithmetic, music, geometry, and astronomy. A comparison is made with the "Six Arts" in China.

2. The term Renaissance, meaning "rebirth" in Italian, was first used by French historian Jules Michelet. To promote and establish the system of traditional Chinese culture on a global scale, it is necessary to have world-class experts who understand foreign languages.

3. Both Christianity and Islam officially prohibited usury on religious grounds, but in practice, both cultures found ways to exploit loopholes for maximum financial gain. Jewish merchants were often employed to handle credit transactions. Double-entry bookkeeping and accounting were inventions described by Goethe as the greatest inventions of humankind.

4. Great scholars such as Erasmus of Rotterdam contributed to the understanding of maintaining political power, while Machiavellis works focused on this topic extensively. Thomas Mores works explored the concept of creating ideal societies.

5. The Donation of Constantine was later discovered to be a forgery. The number of sacraments was reduced from seven to two. A Christian is justified through faith alone, without the need for additional works.
