經典解讀日本文化標籤創意——《乙男蟻女》十年大翻修進化版！

真的好想去日本玩耍！
先來看看日本文化觀察專家茂呂美耶
梳理二十代到八十代的看穿日本當代社會文化，世代關鍵標籤小百科

Miya流的釋義、最在地的直擊觀察、條理分明的解讀法
最實地考察、深刻到位的人文趨勢、流行文化

★ 經典的日本鹽男、醬油男，演進到今日是蛇顏男！你是哪一派？你是小栗旬還是松田龍平派？
★ 如同寶可夢一樣有進化型，草食男超進化之後是認為自己一點都不寬鬆的「達觀世代」！
★ 新派日系女子登板——是要當個新型的大人女子、大叔女子？或是擁有女子力的魅力女？
★ 90年代前很流行的全職媽媽「公園登台」和「鑰匙兒童」，在職業婦女增加，以及小孩課後活動甚至比大人還多，已成為時代遺跡的死語。

從世代標籤，窺看日本男女的生活個性、文化學習零時差——

愛上男不是愛上哪個男人，是很會談戀愛的男人；大人女子不是指成年女生，而是代表你已經不是年輕女孩，但也還不是歐巴桑的三四十代女子；夫源病是指讓日本高齡女性患上不明頭痛、頭暈、耳鳴，甚至是自律神經失調的隱忍婚姻疾病；乙男不是家中第二個男孩，而是手巧又專業的粉紅系男孩；蟻女不是工作認真的女孩兒，而是小巧又可愛的袖珍女。還有高麗菜捲男、蘆筍培根男、保留君、歐巴桑軍團、導航姬、歷女……五花八門的時代標籤，不斷增生！

這些，都是代表日本近代至當代社會發展的重要語彙，你也許聽過，說不定還常常使用，認真搞清楚它們的來由與涵義之後，只能大喊「太妙啦～好厲害！」，日本人真的很有趣，非常會下標籤！

清代翰林是通過重重科舉考試而成的社會頂尖精英群體，除了學術地位，在社會上有超然的光環。香港本是海濱小地方，也沒出過本土翰林，然而清代翰林與香港，卻有着千絲萬縷的聯繫。從乾隆朝開始，這裏就留下翰林名士足跡。辛亥民國建立之後，一眾清遺民南渡香港，以翰林為首的這班遺民，為香港帶來了最早的正統文脈，也翻開香港文化史精彩的第一章。更罕為人知的是，影響中國一千多年的翰林歷史，原來是在香港終結的。

本書講述乾隆以來，一班狀元探花宰相為什麼先後作客香港，翰林們又是怎樣創立香港的正統儒學與傳統文化教育。許多人物與珍貴史料屬於首次發表。

Amazon Best business and leadership books of 2022

A brain-bending investigation of why some people never change their minds—and others do in an instant—by the bestselling author of You Are Not So Smart

What made a prominent conspiracy-theorist YouTuber finally see that 9/11 was not a hoax? How do voter opinions shift from neutral to resolute? Can widespread social change only take place when a generation dies out? From one of our greatest thinkers on reasoning, HOW MINDS CHANGE is a book about the science, and the experience, of transformation.

When self-delusion expert and psychology nerd David McRaney began a book about how to change someone’s mind in one conversation, he never expected to change his own. But then a diehard 9/11 Truther’s conversion blew up his theories—inspiring him to ask not just how to persuade, but why we believe, from the eye of the beholder. Delving into the latest research of psychologists and neuroscientists, HOW MINDS CHANGE explores the limits of reasoning, the power of groupthink, and the effects of deep canvassing. Told with McRaney’s trademark sense of humor, compassion, and scientific curiosity, it’s an eye-opening journey among cult members, conspiracy theorists, and political activists, from Westboro Baptist Church picketers to LGBTQ campaigners in California—that ultimately challenges us to question our own motives and beliefs. In an age of dangerous conspiratorial thinking, can we rise to the occasion with empathy?

An expansive, big-hearted journalistic narrative, HOW MINDS CHANGE reaches surprising and thought-provoking conclusions, to demonstrate the rare but transformative circumstances under which minds can change.
