- 雅盖隆王朝（立陶宛語：Jogailaičiai；波蘭語：Jagiellonowie），也译作雅盖洛王朝 The Jagiellonian dynasty /ˈjɑːɡjəˈloʊniən/ was a royal dynasty, founded by Jogaila, the Grand Duke of Lithuania, who in 1386 was baptized as Władysław, married Queen regnant (also styled "King")[a] Jadwiga of Poland, and was crowned King of Poland as Władysław II Jagiełło. The dynasty reigned in several Central European countries between the 14th and 16th centuries. Members of the dynasty were Kings of Poland (1386–1572), Grand Dukes of Lithuania (1377–1392 and 1440–1572), Kings of Hungary (1440–1444 and 1490–1526), and Kings of Bohemia (1471–1526). The personal union between the Kingdom of Poland and the Grand Duchy of Lithuania (converted in 1569 with the Treaty of Lublin into the Polish–Lithuanian Commonwealth) is the reason for the common appellation "Poland–Lithuania" in discussions about the area from the Late Middle Ages onward. One Jagiellonian briefly ruled both Poland and Hungary (1440–44), and two others ruled both Bohemia and Hungary (1490–1526) and then continued in the distaff line as a branch of the House of Habsburg. The Polish "Golden Age", the period of the reigns of Sigismund I and Sigismund II, the last two Jagiellonian kings, or more generally the 16th century, is most often identified with the rise of the culture of Polish Renaissance. The cultural flowering had its material base in the prosperity of the elites, both the landed nobility and urban patriciate at such centers as Kraków and Gdańsk.
- 约盖拉，后称为瓦迪斯瓦夫二世·雅盖沃 Jogaila, later Władysław II Jagiełło (Polish pronunciation: [vwaˈdɨswaf jaˈɡʲɛwːɔ] (c. 1352/1362 – 1 June 1434) was the Grand Duke of Lithuania (1377–1434) and then the King of Poland (1386–1434), first alongside his wife Jadwiga until 1399, and then sole King of Poland. He ruled in Lithuania from 1377. Born a pagan, in 1386 he converted to Catholicism and was baptized as Władysław in Kraków, married the young Queen Jadwiga, and was crowned King of Poland as Władysław II Jagiełło.[1] In 1387 he converted Lithuania to Christianity. His own reign in Poland started in 1399, upon the death of Queen Jadwiga, and lasted a further thirty-five years and laid the foundation for the centuries-long Polish–Lithuanian union. He was a member of the Jagiellonian dynasty in Poland that bears his name and was previously also known as the Gediminid dynasty in the Grand Duchy of Lithuania. The dynasty ruled both states until 1572,[nb 2] and became one of the most influential dynasties in late medieval and early modern Europe.[2] During his reign, the Polish-Lithuanian state was the largest state in the Christian world.Jogaila was the last pagan ruler of medieval Lithuania. After he became King of Poland, as a result of the Union of Krewo, the newly formed Polish-Lithuanian union confronted the growing power of the Teutonic Knights. The allied victory at the Battle of Grunwald in 1410, followed by the Peace of Thorn, secured the Polish and Lithuanian borders and marked the emergence of the Polish–Lithuanian alliance as a significant force in Europe. The reign of Władysław II Jagiełło extended Polish frontiers and is often considered the beginning of Poland's Golden Age. However it is also known that Jogaila himself knew and spoke in the Lithuanian language with Vytautas the Great.

- 拉齐维乌家族 The Radziwiłł family (Polish pronunciation: [radʑiˈviw]; Lithuanian: Radvila; Belarusian: Радзівіл, Radzivił; German: Radziwill) was a powerful magnate family originating from the Grand Duchy of Lithuania and later the Crown of the Kingdom of Poland. The descendants of Kristinas Astikas, a Lithuanian and a close associate of the 14th century ruler Vytautas, were highly prominent for centuries, first in the Grand Duchy of Lithuania, later in the Polish–Lithuanian Commonwealth and the Kingdom of Prussia. The family has produced many individuals notable in Lithuanian, Polish, Belarusian, German as well as general European history and culture.[2] The Radziwiłł family received the title of Reichsfürst from the Holy Roman Empire. The Nesvizh Castle complex, maintained by the family between the 16th century and 1939, is a UNESCO World Heritage site.The Radziwiłł family is a directly descended branch of the extinct Lithuanian noble Astikai family line.[4] Its first notable member, Kristinas Astikas(born 1363), a close associate of the Lithuanian ruler Vytautas, became Castellan of Vilnius.[5] The patronym Radvila arose following its use by his son Radvila Astikas and grandson Mikalojus Radvila.[5] A legendary version of the patronym's etymology associates it with a child raised by wolves(rado vilko).[6] The name has been primarily written in, and recognized by, the polonized version and spelling for several centuries. The family descends from Lithuanian bajorai-ducal courtiers who advanced considerably in the 15th century politics of the Grand Duchy of Lithuania. Along with possessions of land near Kernavė, the family's traced place of origin, the Radziwiłł family also inherited the Trąby coat of arms. Three of Mikalojus' sons, Mikołaj, Jan, and Jerzy, went on to become the progenitors of the three known Radziwiłł family lines. The Radziwiłł family divided by branch:
- the Goniądz-Meteliai line
- the Biržai-Dubingiai line
- the Nesvizh-Kletsk-Olyka line

Kaunas (/ˈkaʊnəs/; Lithuanian: [ˈkɐʊˑnɐs] ; also see other names) is the second-largest city in Lithuania and the historical centre of Lithuanian economic, academic, and cultural life. Kaunas was the biggest city and the centre of a county in Trakai Municipality of the Grand Duchy of Lithuania since 1413. In the Russian Empire, it was the capital of the Kaunas Governorate from 1843 to 1915. During the interwar period, it served as the temporary capital of Lithuania, when Vilnius, the traditional capital, was considered part of Poland between 1920 and 1939. During that period Kaunas was nicknamed the Little Paris because of its rich cultural and academic life, fashion, construction of countless Art Deco and Lithuanian National Romanticism architectural-style buildings as well as popular furniture, the interior design of the time, and a widespread café culture.Before Lithuania regained independence, the city was generally known in English as Kovno, the traditional Slavicized form of its name; the Polish name is Kowno; the Belarusian name is Koўна, Kowna. An earlier Russian name was Ковно Kovno, although Каунас Kaunas has been used since 1940. The Yiddish name is קאָװנעKovne, and the names in German include Kaunas and Kauen. On 30 June 1993, the historical coat of armsof Kaunas city was re-established by a special presidentialdecree. The coat of arms features a white aurochs with a golden cross between his horns, set against a deep red background. The aurochs was the original heraldic symbol of the city, established in 1400.

帕蘭加Palanga (Samogitian: Palonga, Latvian: Palanga (also till 1934)German: Polangen is a seaside resort town in western Lithuania, on the shore of the Baltic Sea.Not far from Šventoji, archaeologists discovered an encampment which indicates that the area was inhabited some 5,000 years ago. Between the 10th and 13th centuries Palanga had been one of the main settlements of Mēguva Land, inhabited by the Curonians. Situated upon the trail of the ancient Amber Road, it became a center of trade and crafts. In historical documents the name of Palanga was first mentioned in 1161 when the King Valdemar I of Denmarkdisembarked there with his army and captured the castle of the Curonians.
希奥利艾（立陶宛语：Šiauliai；德语：Schaulen，施奥伦） ([ɕɛʊ̯ˈlʲɛɪ̯ˑ]; Samogitian: Šiaulē) is the fourth largest city in Lithuania. Šiauliai is referred to by various names in different languages: Samogitian Šiaulē, Latvian Saule (historic) and Šauļi (modern), German (outdated) Schaulen, Polish Szawle, Russian Шавли (Shavli — historic) and Шяуля́й (Shyaulyai — modern), Yiddish שאַװל (Shavel).The city was first mentioned in written sources as Soule in Livonian Order chronicles describing the Battle of Saule. Thus the city's founding date is now considered to be September 22, 1236, the same date when the battle took place, not far from Šiauliai. At first it developed as a defense post against the raids by the Teutonic and Livonian Orders. After the battle of Grunwald in 1410, the raids stopped and Šiauliai started to develop as an agricultural settlement. In 1445, a wooden church was built. It was replaced in 1625 with the brick church which can be seen in the city center today.Šiauliai was granted Magdeburg city rights in the 16th century, when it also became an administrative center of the area. However, in the 16th to 18th centuries the city was devastated by The Deluge and epidemics of the Bubonic plague.The credit for the city's rebirth goes to Antoni Tyzenhaus (1733–1785) who after a violent revolt of peasants of the Crown properties in the Northern Lithuania (so-called in Polish: Powstanie Szawelskie, 1769), started the radical economic and urban reforms.[3][citation needed] He decided to rebuild the city according to the Classicism ideas: at first houses were built randomly in a radial shape, but Tyzenhaus decided to build the city in an orderly rectangular grid. Šiauliai grew to become a well-developed city, with several prominent brick buildings.[citation needed] In 1791 Stanisław August Poniatowski, king of the Polish–Lithuanian Commonwealth, confirmed once again that Šiauliai's city rights and granted it a coat of arms which depicted a bear, the symbol of Samogitia, the Eye of Providence, and a red bull, the symbol of the Poniatowski family. The modern coat of arms has been modeled after this version. After the Partitions of Poland, Šiauliai received a new coat of arms. The city grew and became an important educational and cultural center. Also, infrastructure was rapidly developing: in 1836–1858 a road connecting Riga and Tilsit was built, in 1871 a railroad connecting Liepāja with Romny was built.[4] Šiauliai, being in a crossroad of important merchant routes, started to develop as an industrial town. Already in 1897 it was the third largest city in Lithuania with population of about 16,000. The demographics changed also: 56.4% of the inhabitants were Jewish in 1909. Šiauliai was known for its leather industry. Chaim Frenkel owned the biggest leather factory in the Russian Empire.

Utena is a city in north-east Lithuania. It is the administrative center of Utena district and Utena County. Utena is one of the oldest settlements of Lithuania. The name of the city is most probably derived from a hydronym. The name of the settlement has been known since 1261. Utena is an industrial city. It is known for its clothing, food and beverage factories. In recent years, however, streets, public squares and large areas of the parks in the city were reconstructed and Utena is now a more attractive for recreation and tourism. Utena was first mentioned in historical documents dating back to 1261. It was part of the Grand Duchy of Lithuania until 1795, when it fell under Czarist Russian rule. From 1802 it belonged to the Vilna Governorate until 1843 when it became a part of the Kovno Governorate. The town grew rapidly after the St.Petersburg-Warsaw road was constructed between 1830 and 1835. In 1899 a narrow gauge railway line, connecting Panevėžys-Utena-Švenčionys, was constructed. At the end of the 19th century two big fires devastated the town. Germany occupied Utena from 1915-1918, until the Soviet Bolsheviks took over. In June 1919, Utena became a district center in independent Lithuania. Utena, known as the shtetl Utyan in Yiddish, historically had a Jewish population.
- A Lithuanian shopping mall partly owned by U2's Bono is under investigation for potential tax avoidance, following a probe prompted by the Paradise Papers. The mall allegedly avoided paying 47,000 euros (£41,500) in local taxes using an unlawful accounting technique. The company running the mall, in the city of Utena, denies any wrongdoing. The leaked documents show that Bono owned a stake in a Maltese holding company that bought the mall, via a Lithuanian holding company, in 2007. In a statement, the Irish entertainer and anti-poverty campaigner, also known as Paul David Hewson, said he had been "assured by those running the company that it is fully tax compliant". http://www.bbc.com/news/entertainment-arts-41888645
Užupis (Belarusian: Зарэчча, Polish: Zarzecze, Russian: Заречье) is a neighborhood in Vilnius, the capital of Lithuania, largely located in Vilnius' old town, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Užupis means "the other side of the river" in the Lithuanian language and refers to the Vilnia River; the name Vilnius was derived from the Vilnia. The district has been popular with artists for some time, and has been compared to Montmartre in Paris and to Freetown Christiania in Copenhagen, due to its bohemic and laissez-faire atmosphere. On April 1, 1997, the district declared itself an independent republic (The Republic of Užupis). Since the first of November 2014 Jaap van Ark is president of republic Užupis.

History
- ?????[from cuphistory] 絕大部份的國家權利，都掌握在只佔總人口10%的貴族手中，而餘下的 90% 人口，卻只擁有非常有限的甚至毫無任何權利。在聯邦後期的歷史裡，國王甚至要仰人鼻息，國家大權全掌握在勢力龐大的貴族手中。直到十七世紀後期，這種「貴族民主」的禍害更進一步。那時候，貴族擁有一種名為「自由否決權（Liberum Veto）」的權力，這種權力允許每一位貴族否決任何一項自己不同意的政策，既然每個貴族都擁有這項權力，若政策無法得到全體貴族的同意便會被否決。而由於貴族的勢力太過龐大，聯邦中有力的貴族的政治鬥爭此起彼落，後來更曾演變成內戰。在這種混亂下，聯邦根本無法有效實行任何政策，嚴重的內耗註定了聯邦走向悲慘的滅亡。
- As World War I neared its end, Lithuania's Act of Independence was signed on 16 February 1918, declaring the founding of the modern Republic of Lithuania. In the midst of the Second World War, Lithuania was first occupied by the Soviet Union and then by Nazi Germany. As World War II neared its end and the Germans retreated, the Soviet Union reoccupied Lithuania. On 11 March 1990, a year before the formal dissolution of the Soviet Union, Lithuania became the first Soviet republic to declare itself independent, resulting in the restoration of an independent State of Lithuania.
Jews
- Lithuanian Jews or Litvaks are Jews with roots in the Grand Duchy of Lithuania (present-day Lithuania, Belarus, Ukraine, Latvia and the northeastern Suwałki (Suvalkai) region of Poland). The term is sometimes used to cover all Orthodox Jews who follow a "Lithuanian" (Ashkenazic and non-Hasidic) style of life and learning, whatever their ethnic background. The area where Lithuanian Jews lived is referred to in Yiddish as "Líta."Lithuania was historically home to a large and influential Jewish community that was almost entirely eliminated during the Holocaust (see The Holocaust in Lithuania). Before World War II, the Lithuanian Jewish population was some 160,000, about 7% of the total population. Vilnius (then Wilno in the Second Polish Republic) had a Jewish community of nearly 100,000, about 45% of the city's total population.[4] There were over 110 synagogues and 10 yeshivas in Vilnius alone.
- Jascha Heifetz (/ˈhaɪfɪts/; 2 February [O.S.20 January] 1901 – 10 December 1987) was a violinist, widely considered to be one of the finest violinists of modern times. Born in Wilno, Russian Empire (present-dayVilnius, Lithuania), he moved as a teenager to the United States, where his Carnegie Hall debut was rapturously received. The New York Times called him "perhaps the greatest violinist of his time."[1] Fritz Kreisler, another leading violinist of the twentieth century, said on hearing Heifetz's debut, "We might as well take our fiddles and break them across our knees."[2] He had a long and successful performing and recording career; after an injury to his right (bowing) arm, he focused on teaching.

Rasa Radzevičienė, directress of the postal operations division for Lithuania Post, said, “The number of items sent from China is rapidly growing. Last year, 27% of international items had a Chinese origin, and this year (Q3) the result is 51%. The main reason for this is that e-commerce with China’s e-trade market is taking one of the leading positions in the world.” According to Radzevičienė, Lithuania acts as a transit country for the delivery of Chinese goods to EU states including Russia. Almost 19% of outgoing items in Q3 were destined for Russia.

- China is looking at investing in the outer reaches of the One Belt One Road trade footprint as state-owned China Merchants Group considers a deal with Lithuania’s port of Klaipeda on the Baltic Sea. The port will give sea access to landlocked neighbor Belarus where China Merchants is investing $5 billion in an industrial park. Li Jianhong, chairman of China Merchants, said the group was in discussions with Klaipeda port on “detailed investment plans” following the 20 percent acquisition of the China-Belarus Industrial Park, according to a report in the South China Morning Post. The China-Belarus Industrial Park is 15 miles from the Belarusian capital of Minsk and 310 miles from the Baltic Sea. Li visited the country with Chinese president Xi Jinping’s delegation earlier in May, part of several state visits aimed at expanding China’s footholds in ports along its land and ocean trade corridors. Klaipeda is the biggest container port on the Baltic Sea, handling 127,382 TEUs during the first quarter. Despite that figure being a 13 percent decline compared to the first quarter of last year, it was enough to keep the port ahead of second-placed Latvian port of Riga. Last year, container traffic in Klaipeda increased by 11.8 per cent to 450,400 TEU. The China-Europe rail links along the New Silk Road can connect with Klaipeda, opening up the Scandinavian countries and providing transshipment services to central and western European countries.
Both the port of Klaipeda and Lithuanian transportation authorities are actively looking for new markets. “Lithuania may become Kazakhstan's maritime gateway to the West," Lithuanian transport minister Rimantas Sinkevicius told Xinhua during a recent visit to Kazakhstan. http://www.joc.com/port-news/china-merchants-extending-port-reach-baltic-sea_20150527.html

- 楊良棟於2009年到立陶宛尋找商機，2010年就看中當地啤酒生意，成為立陶宛最大啤酒廠的產品代理商，2011年開始進口立陶宛的產品到香港。但楊良棟坦言，如他這樣在立陶宛開闢新市場的港商很少。「我的本行是林業造紙，在芬蘭做了30多年生意，於是了解到波羅的海國家，他們缺少在亞洲的合作夥伴，對我來說這是很難得的商機。可以把我們的香港公司作為波羅的海國家進入亞洲的橋樑。當時我考察了中東歐國家，最初是準備作一些投資的，收購一些生產型公司，投資卻沒有成功，卻因此結交了不少立陶宛的商家夥伴，他們也希望和我合作開發亞洲市場。」在收購的過程中，楊良棟發現當地對亞洲了解很少，對香港也一點不了解，收購很困難，卻成了亞洲的合作夥伴。「對我來說是意外之喜，我們開始越來越了解，商業越來越多。」現在楊良棟已在立陶宛投資了當地生產的啤酒、香檳、伏特加、礦泉水、乾果脯、護膚品、牙膏等產品。他表示，如今在內地，因為進口難度程序比香港要大，各地執法鬆緊度也不一樣，進口必須要做精品類，與香港市場差別很大。而這些立陶宛的產品進口到香港後，銷售情況很好，每年有雙位數的增長，而且香港市場進口程序簡單，只要產品好，消費者不會太在意是中歐還是東歐的產品。http://pdf.wenweipo.com/2016/06/13/a05-0613.pdf
