https://www.quora.com/Who-are-the-oldest-families-in-the-world-Not-the-oldest-line-but-the-oldest-family-where-they-have-been-able-to-pass-their-name-continuously-down-without-being-wiped-out There are aristocratic Jewish families who can trace their line back to King David, and Irish noble families who know their line of descent back to the 3rd C. I know there are similarly ancient Japanese families. I don’t know if any of the Jewish families preserved a family name the whole way, but really, when you get back more than about 800 years most people didn’t have surnames anyway.

Heavy use of the term "red shields" is a good sign you're in the more conspiratorial and anti-Semitic neighborhood of the Internet. Mayer Amschel Rothschild, a court Jew to the Landgraves of Hesse-Kassel in the Free City of Frankfurt was the first in the family to gain prominence as a banker, and soon his brothers had opened their own bank branches as well. By the end of the 18th century, they had already started to amass a huge fortune. In the early 1800s, Jews were granted equal rights as citizens in German provinces.

The Alcmaeonidae /ˌælkmiːˈɒnᵻdiː/ or Alcmaeonids /ˌælkmiːˈoʊnɪdz/ (Ἀλκμαιωνίδαι) were a powerful noble family of ancient Athens, a branch of the Neleides who claimed descent from the mythological Alcmaeon, the great-grandson of Nestor. The first notable Alcmaeonid was Megacles, who was the Archon Eponymous of Athens in the 7th century BC. He was responsible for killing the followers of Cylon of Athens during the attempted coup of 632 BC, as Cylon had taken refuge as a suppliant at the temple of Athena. As a result of their actions, Megacles and his Alcmaeonid followers were the subject of an ongoing curse and were exiled from the city. Even the bodies of buried Alcmaeonidae were dug up and removed from the city limits. The Alcmaeonids were allowed back into the city in 594 BC, during the archonship of Solon.[2]During the tyranny of Pisistratus, the Alcmaeonid Megacles married his daughter to Pisistratus, but when the tyrant refused to have children with her, Megacles banished him. Later the Alcmaeonids would claim to have been exiled following Pisistratus' return in 546 BC so as to distance themselves from possible accusations of complicity, but epigraphic evidence in fact proves that Cleisthenes was archon for the year 525-4. Megacles was able to marry (for a second or third time) Agarista, the daughter of the tyrant Cleisthenes of Sicyon. They had two sons, Hippocrates and Cleisthenes, the reformer of the Athenian democracy. Hippocrates' daughter was Agariste, the mother of Pericles. This Cleisthenes overthrew Hippias, the son and successor of Pisistratus, in 508 BC. He had bribed the oracle at Delphi (which the Alcmaeonidae had helped to build while they were in exile) to convince the Spartans to help him, which they reluctantly did. Cleisthenes was, at first, opposed by some who felt the curse made the Alcmaeonidae ineligible to rule; the Spartan king Cleomenes I even turned against Cleisthenes and the latter was briefly exiled once more. However, the citizens called for Cleisthenes to return, and the restored Alcmaeonids were responsible for laying the foundations of Athenian democracy. The Alcmaeonidae were said to have negotiated for an alliance with the Persians during thePersian Wars, despite the fact that Athens was leading the resistance to the Persian invasion.Pericles and Alcibiades also belonged to the Alcmaeonidae, and during the Peloponnesian War the Spartans referred to the family's curse in an attempt to discredit Pericles. Alcibiades, as the previous generation of Alcmaeonidae had done, tried to ally with the Persians after he was accused of impiety. The family disappeared after Athens's defeat in the Peloponnesian War.

- Joseph Patrick Kennedy Sr. (September 6, 1888 – November 18, 1969) was born in 1888 in Boston, Massachusetts. Kennedy was the elder son of Mary Augusta (Hickey) Kennedy and businessman and politician Patrick Joseph "P.J." Kennedy. He had a younger brother, Francis, and two younger sisters, Mary and Margaret. All four of Joe's grandparents had immigrated to Massachusetts in the 1840s to escape the Irish famine. He was born into a highly sectarian society, where Irish Catholics were excluded by upper-class Boston Brahmins. Boston Irish thus became active in the Democratic Party, which included P.J. and numerous relatives. P.J. Kennedy was an accomplished businessman. A successful saloon business, investment ventures, and an influential role in local politics enabled him to provide a comfortable lifestyle for his family. His mother encouraged Joe to attend the Boston Latin School, where he was a below-average scholar but was popular among his classmates, winning election as class president and playing on the school baseball team. He made a large fortune as a stock market and commodity investor and later rolled over his profits by investing in real estate and a wide range of business industries across the United States. During World War I, he was an assistant general manager of a Boston area Bethlehem Steel shipyard; through this position, he became acquainted with Franklin D. Roosevelt, who was the Assistant Secretary of the Navy. In the 1920s, Kennedy made huge profits by reorganizing and refinancing several Hollywood studios; several acquisitions were ultimately merged into Radio-Keith-Orpheum (RKO) studios.[1] Kennedy increased his fortune with distribution rights for Scotch whisky. He owned the largest privately owned building in the country, Chicago's Merchandise Mart.
- Jean Ann Kennedy Smith (February 20, 1928 – June 17, 2020) was an American diplomat, activist, humanitarian,[1] and author who served as United States Ambassador to Ireland from 1993 to 1998. She was a member of the Kennedy family, the eighth of nine children and youngest daughter born to Joseph P. Kennedy and Rose Fitzgerald, and was their last surviving and longest-lived child. Her siblings included President John F. Kennedy, Senator Robert F. Kennedy, Senator Ted Kennedy, and Special Olympics founder Eunice Kennedy Shriver. As Ambassador to Ireland, Smith was reportedly instrumental in the Northern Ireland peace process as President Bill Clinton's representative in Dublin. She was heavily criticized after urging the U.S. State Department to grant a visa to Sinn Féin President Gerry Adams, although her family said this step influenced the Provisional IRA in its declaration of a ceasefire in 1994. However, Adams has said it was President Clinton who led the Northern Ireland peace process and that during the process, Smith relied on advice from an influential Belfast priest.[2] President of Ireland Mary McAleese conferred honorary Irish citizenship on Smith in 1998 in recognition of her service to the country.

NR Holdings said on Monday it was selling to Asia Coal Energy Ventures (ACE), a consortium led by Indonesia’s Widjaja family — owners of the Sinar Mas conglomerate — for 56p a share, or £23.2m. http://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2015-06-09/rothschild-exiting-coal-miner-to-aid-debt-talks-as-default-looms Financier Nathaniel Rothschild’s decision to accept a takeover offer for his stake in Asia Resource Minerals Plc paves the way for the new owners to renegotiate bond repayments to avoid default in July. Indonesia’s PT Berau Coal Energy, of which ARMS owns 85 percent, has $450 million in notes maturing on July 8 and $500 million of debentures due in March 2017. ARMS, with a market value of 88.6 million pounds ($136 million), is seeking to extend debt maturity to 2019 after saying there wasn’t enough cash for noteholders. “The only way to avoid a missed principal payment is to execute the debt exchange,” Brian Grieser, an analyst in Singapore at Moody’s Investors Service, said by phone. “There’s been a lot of noise at the ARMS shareholder level which has prevented them from moving forward with this bond transaction. I’d be surprised if they can get the refinancing done before they resolve their shareholding issues.” Rothschild on Monday said he will accept 56 pence a share for his 17.2 percent ARMS stake from Asia Coal Energy Ventures, or ACE, a vehicle funded by billionaire Eka Tjipta Widjaja’s Sinarmas Group. That’s 37 percent more than an earlier bid and values ARMS’s equity at $207 million. ACE is due to make a formal offer by June 11. ARMS’s board will set out its views on the new takeover terms at a general meeting to be held by the end of the month, the U.K. company said in a regulatory filing.

沃伯格家族（又稱華寶家族或瓦爾堡家族） The Warburg family is a prominent German and American banking family of German Jewishand originally Venetian Jewish descent, noted for their varied accomplishments in biochemistry, botany, political activism, economics, investment banking, law, physics, classical music, art history, pharmacology, physiology, finance, private equity and philanthropy. They originated as the Venetian Jewish del Banco family, Anselmo and Abraham Ha Levi Kahana de Palenzuela from Spain, one of the wealthiest Sephardic Venetian families in the early 16th century.[2] Following restrictions imposed on banking and the Jewish community, they moved to Bologna, and thence to Warburg, in Germany, in the 16th century, after which they took their name. The family re-established itself in Altona, near Hamburg in the 17th century, and it was there that M. M. Warburg & Co. was established in 1798, among the oldest still existing investment banks in the world. Other banks created by members of the family include: M.M.Warburg & Co., Warburg Pincus, S. G. Warburg & Co. (becoming UBS Warburg).
- The family is traditionally divided into two prominent lines, the Alsterufer Warburgs and the Mittelweg Warburgs. The Alsterufer Warburgs descended from Siegmund Warburg (1835–1889) and the Mittelweg Warburgs descended from his brother Moritz M. Warburg (1838–1910). They took their nicknames from the brothers' respective addresses in Hamburg's Rotherbaum neighborhood. The brothers were grandsons of Moses Marcus Warburg.

Medici
- The House of Medici (/ˈmɛdɨtʃi/ med-i-chee;Italian pronunciation: [ˈmɛːditʃi]) was an Italian banking family, political dynasty and later royal house that first began to gather prominence under Cosimo de' Medici in the Republic of Florence during the late 14th century. The family originated in theMugello region of the Tuscan countryside, gradually rising until they were able to fund the Medici Bank. The bank was the largest in Europe during the 15th century, seeing the Medici gain political power in Florence— though officially they remained citizens rather than monarchs. The Medici produced four Popes of theCatholic Church—Pope Leo X (1513–1521), Pope Clement VII (1523–1534),Pope Pius IV (1559–1565), and Pope Leo XI (1605);[2] two regent queens of France—Catherine de' Medici (1547–1559) andMarie de' Medici (1600–1610); and, in 1531, the family became hereditary Dukes of Florence. In 1569, the duchy was elevated to a grand duchy after territorial expansion. They ruled the Grand Duchy of Tuscany from its inception until 1737, with the death of Gian Gastone de' Medici. The grand duchy witnessed degrees of economic growth under the earlier grand dukes, but by the time of Cosimo III de' Medici, Tuscany was fiscally bankrupt. Their wealth and influence initially derived from the textile trade guided by the guild of the Arte della Lana. Like other signorefamilies, they dominated their city'sgovernment, they were able to bring Florence under their family's power, and they created an environment where art andhumanism could flourish. They along with other families of Italy, such as the Visconti and Sforza of Milan, the Este of Ferrara, and theGonzaga of Mantua, fostered and inspired the birth of the Italian Renaissance.
- Lorenzo de' Medici (Italian pronunciation: [loˈrɛntso de ˈmɛːditʃi], 1 January 1449 – 9 April 1492) was an Italian statesman and de factoruler of the Florentine Republic, who was one of the most powerful and enthusiastic patrons of the Renaissance.[1][2][3] Also known asLorenzo the Magnificent (Lorenzo il Magnifico[loˈrɛntso il maɲˈɲiːfiko]) by contemporary Florentines, he was a magnate, diplomat,politician and patron of scholars, artists and poets. He is well known for his contribution to the art world by sponsoring artists such asBotticelli and Michelangelo. His life coincided with the mature phase of Italian Renaissance and his death coincided with the end of the Golden Age of Florence.[4] The fragile peace that he helped maintain among the variousItalian states collapsed with his death. He is buried in the Medici Chapel in Florence.

Stozzi
- Strozzi is the name of an ancient later nobleFlorentine family, who like their great rivals theMedici family, began in banking before moving into politics. Until its exile from Florence in 1434, the Strozzi family was by far the richest in the city, and was rivaled only by the Medici family, who ultimately took control of the government and ruined the Strozzi both financially and politically. This political and financial competition was the origin of the Strozzi-Medici rivalry. Later, while the Medici ruled Florence, the Strozzi family ruled Siena, which Florence attacked, causing great animosity between the two families. Soon afterwards, the Strozzi married into the Medici family, essentially giving the Medici superiority.
Pazzi
- The Pazzi were a noble Florentine family of the Mediaeval and Renaissance periods. In 1342 they gave up their titles of nobility so that members could be elected to public office. Their main trade during the 15th century was banking.
Leonardo da vinci
- After several years of research, Angelo Paratico reached an astonishing yet very logical conviction: Leonardo Da Vinci was the son of a Chinese slave, Caterina. Leonardo Da Vinci: A Chinese Scholar Lost in Renaissance Italy is the story of this historical investigation, which step by step reveals the mystery of Leonardo’s life as if it were a modern thriller.Caterina was very young when she was captured by Mongol raiders and then spirited out of China to Crimea, from where she was shipped to Venice’s slave market. She was then sold to the agent of a wealthy Florentine usurer, Ser Vanni, a client of Leonardo’s father. At that time, oriental slaves were a common sight all over Tuscany. Most were categorised as Tartars, a generic term used for all Eastern people under Mongol domination, including the Chinese.Even Ginevra Datini, the beloved daughter of the quintessential Renaissance merchant Francesco Datini (1335–1410), was born to a Tartar domestic slave, a young Mongolian lady named Lucia, who was working in the merchant’s house. This surprising fact would never have come to light without the fortuitous find, in the 19th Century, of a treasure trove of Datini’s letters hidden in a secret partition of his palace in Prato, close to Florence. The book analyses and discusses Leonardo’s oriental roots using all the evidence available: he was left handed and was in the habit of beginning his notebooks from the last page; he was a vegetarian; he had an almost Buddhist outlook on the world; his paintings show landscapes that are clearly derived from Chinese painters who had used them centuries earlier, etc. And the book proves – as Sigmund Freud in 1910 had already understood – that Leonardo’s painting of Mona Lisa in the Louvre, the most famous painting in the world, is actually the dreamlike image of Caterina, Leonardo’s Chinese mother. The only woman he ever loved. em 26may2015 on book event
- http://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-36053229 Italian researchers say they have identified 35 living people who are related to Leonardo da Vinci, using genealogical records. They include the acclaimed film director Franco Zeffirelli. The Renaissance polymath was born in the Tuscan town of Vinci in 1452. He never married and left no direct descendants, so historians Alessandro Vezzosi and Agnese Sabato sought to find those who are descended from his siblings. Leonardo's remains were lost in the turmoil of the 16th Century, so DNA research was not used in their work to construct a family tree, which began in 1973.
Borghese is the surname of a family ofItalian noble and papal background, originating as the Borghese or Borghesi inSiena, where they came to prominence in the 13th century holding offices under thecommune.

蘇東坡
- 宋代文豪蘇東坡在新加坡的第24代子孫蘇尚鷹過了耳順之年(60歲)後，細閱家裡藏着的一本《蘇氏家譜》，才發現自己原來是蘇東坡的後人，從此開始積極考證和研究家族史。蘇尚鷹近2年熱衷於研究和整理家譜。蘇尚鷹解釋說，1934年，即他出世前一年，大姑蘇阿彩回梅崗鄉時請人手抄這本《蘇氏家譜》帶回新加坡，幾經輾轉，這本家譜傳至他手中。經他細心考核，總算對家族歷史理出一個頭緒。原來，蘇東坡小兒子蘇過的曾孫蘇汝忠誕生於南宋年間，因逢宋末亂世而舉家逃到廣東梅嶺珠璣里(廣東南雄珠璣巷)避難。根據家譜，蘇汝忠生蘇樸軒。樸軒生伊仁、伊義、伊德和伊生。蘇伊生為蘇尚鷹這一系的開基祖。從蘇伊生算起，蘇尚鷹和他的哥哥們是十九世孫。雖蘇尚鷹無後代，但是他的2名身故的哥哥各有一子，其中一名侄兒育有兒子，因此蘇東坡在新加坡的後人已傳到第26代。退休前是中學數學教師的蘇尚鷹，很早就知道家裡藏有一本《蘇氏家譜》，卻從未細細翻閱。他甚至不知道名滿天下的蘇東坡，原名蘇軾(字子瞻)。但細閱家譜後，他不僅上網找尋各種有關蘇氏歷代祖先的資料，也找出相關的蘇氏家譜進行核對和查證，再把已知的資料編入家譜中，豐富其內容。此外，他還着手把蘇氏家族世代圖表譯成英文，傳給侄兒和侄兒的後代，也送了一份給國家圖書館保存。宋仁宗景祐三年12月19日在眉州眉山出生的蘇東坡，祖籍為河北趙郡欒城人。他和父親蘇洵、弟弟蘇轍都是宋代著名文人。http://pdf.wenweipo.com/2015/10/23/a30-1023.pdf

Medici
- The House of Medici (/ˈmɛdɨtʃi/ med-i-chee;Italian pronunciation: [ˈmɛːditʃi]) was an Italian banking family, political dynasty and later royal house that first began to gather prominence under Cosimo de' Medici in the Republic of Florence during the late 14th century. The family originated in theMugello region of the Tuscan countryside, gradually rising until they were able to fund the Medici Bank. The bank was the largest in Europe during the 15th century, seeing the Medici gain political power in Florence— though officially they remained citizens rather than monarchs. The Medici produced four Popes of theCatholic Church—Pope Leo X (1513–1521), Pope Clement VII (1523–1534),Pope Pius IV (1559–1565), and Pope Leo XI (1605);[2] two regent queens of France—Catherine de' Medici (1547–1559) andMarie de' Medici (1600–1610); and, in 1531, the family became hereditary Dukes of Florence. In 1569, the duchy was elevated to a grand duchy after territorial expansion. They ruled the Grand Duchy of Tuscany from its inception until 1737, with the death of Gian Gastone de' Medici. The grand duchy witnessed degrees of economic growth under the earlier grand dukes, but by the time of Cosimo III de' Medici, Tuscany was fiscally bankrupt. Their wealth and influence initially derived from the textile trade guided by the guild of the Arte della Lana. Like other signorefamilies, they dominated their city'sgovernment, they were able to bring Florence under their family's power, and they created an environment where art andhumanism could flourish. They along with other families of Italy, such as the Visconti and Sforza of Milan, the Este of Ferrara, and theGonzaga of Mantua, fostered and inspired the birth of the Italian Renaissance.
- Lorenzo de' Medici (Italian pronunciation: [loˈrɛntso de ˈmɛːditʃi], 1 January 1449 – 9 April 1492) was an Italian statesman and de factoruler of the Florentine Republic, who was one of the most powerful and enthusiastic patrons of the Renaissance.[1][2][3] Also known asLorenzo the Magnificent (Lorenzo il Magnifico[loˈrɛntso il maɲˈɲiːfiko]) by contemporary Florentines, he was a magnate, diplomat,politician and patron of scholars, artists and poets. He is well known for his contribution to the art world by sponsoring artists such asBotticelli and Michelangelo. His life coincided with the mature phase of Italian Renaissance and his death coincided with the end of the Golden Age of Florence.[4] The fragile peace that he helped maintain among the variousItalian states collapsed with his death. He is buried in the Medici Chapel in Florence.
- Alessandro de' Medici (1511/12 – January 6, 1537) called "il Moro" ("the Moor"), Dukeof Penne and also Duke of Florence (from 1532), was ruler of Florence from 1531 until 1537. Though illegitimate, he was the last member of the "senior" branch of theMedici to rule Florence and the first to be a hereditary duke.
- Alessandro was the first duke of Florence, responsible for turning the nominal republic of Florence into a city openly ruled by an autocrat. His father was a descendant of the 15th century’s Lorenzo de Medici, while is mother is believed to have been a Moorish servant. His reign was short (1532 to his assassination in 1537), but it paved the way to the creation of the Grand Dukes of Florence not long thereafter.https://www.quora.com/Were-there-black-lords-and-ladies-in-medieval-Europe

Until its exile from Florence in 1434, the Strozzi family was by far the richest in the city, and was rivaled only by the Medici family, who ultimately took control of the government and ruined the Strozzi both financially and politically. This political and financial competition was the origin of the Strozzi-Medici rivalry. Later, while the Medici ruled Florence, the Strozzi family ruled Siena, which Florence attacked, causing great animosity between the two families. Soon afterwards, the Strozzi married into the Medici family, essentially giving the Medici superiority.

- After several years of research, Angelo Paratico reached an astonishing yet very logical conviction: Leonardo Da Vinci was the son of a Chinese slave, Caterina. Leonardo Da Vinci: A Chinese Scholar Lost in Renaissance Italy is the story of this historical investigation, which step by step reveals the mystery of Leonardo’s life as if it were a modern thriller.Caterina was very young when she was captured by Mongol raiders and then spirited out of China to Crimea, from where she was shipped to Venice’s slave market. She was then sold to the agent of a wealthy Florentine usurer, Ser Vanni, a client of Leonardo’s father. At that time, oriental slaves were a common sight all over Tuscany. Most were categorised as Tartars, a generic term used for all Eastern people under Mongol domination, including the Chinese.Even Ginevra Datini, the beloved daughter of the quintessential Renaissance merchant Francesco Datini (1335–1410), was born to a Tartar domestic slave, a young Mongolian lady named Lucia, who was working in the merchant’s house. This surprising fact would never have come to light without the fortuitous find, in the 19th Century, of a treasure trove of Datini’s letters hidden in a secret partition of his palace in Prato, close to Florence. The book analyses and discusses Leonardo’s oriental roots using all the evidence available: he was left handed and was in the habit of beginning his notebooks from the last page; he was a vegetarian; he had an almost Buddhist outlook on the world; his paintings show landscapes that are clearly derived from Chinese painters who had used them centuries earlier, etc. And the book proves – as Sigmund Freud in 1910 had already understood – that Leonardo’s painting of Mona Lisa in the Louvre, the most famous painting in the world, is actually the dreamlike image of Caterina, Leonardo’s Chinese mother. The only woman he ever loved. em 26may2015 on book event
- http://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-36053229 Italian researchers say they have identified 35 living people who are related to Leonardo da Vinci, using genealogical records. They include the acclaimed film director Franco Zeffirelli. The Renaissance polymath was born in the Tuscan town of Vinci in 1452. He never married and left no direct descendants, so historians Alessandro Vezzosi and Agnese Sabato sought to find those who are descended from his siblings. Leonardo's remains were lost in the turmoil of the 16th Century, so DNA research was not used in their work to construct a family tree, which began in 1973.

蘇東坡
- 宋代文豪蘇東坡在新加坡的第24代子孫蘇尚鷹過了耳順之年(60歲)後，細閱家裡藏着的一本《蘇氏家譜》，才發現自己原來是蘇東坡的後人，從此開始積極考證和研究家族史。蘇尚鷹近2年熱衷於研究和整理家譜。蘇尚鷹解釋說，1934年，即他出世前一年，大姑蘇阿彩回梅崗鄉時請人手抄這本《蘇氏家譜》帶回新加坡，幾經輾轉，這本家譜傳至他手中。經他細心考核，總算對家族歷史理出一個頭緒。原來，蘇東坡小兒子蘇過的曾孫蘇汝忠誕生於南宋年間，因逢宋末亂世而舉家逃到廣東梅嶺珠璣里(廣東南雄珠璣巷)避難。根據家譜，蘇汝忠生蘇樸軒。樸軒生伊仁、伊義、伊德和伊生。蘇伊生為蘇尚鷹這一系的開基祖。從蘇伊生算起，蘇尚鷹和他的哥哥們是十九世孫。雖蘇尚鷹無後代，但是他的2名身故的哥哥各有一子，其中一名侄兒育有兒子，因此蘇東坡在新加坡的後人已傳到第26代。退休前是中學數學教師的蘇尚鷹，很早就知道家裡藏有一本《蘇氏家譜》，卻從未細細翻閱。他甚至不知道名滿天下的蘇東坡，原名蘇軾(字子瞻)。但細閱家譜後，他不僅上網找尋各種有關蘇氏歷代祖先的資料，也找出相關的蘇氏家譜進行核對和查證，再把已知的資料編入家譜中，豐富其內容。此外，他還着手把蘇氏家族世代圖表譯成英文，傳給侄兒和侄兒的後代，也送了一份給國家圖書館保存。宋仁宗景祐三年12月19日在眉州眉山出生的蘇東坡，祖籍為河北趙郡欒城人。他和父親蘇洵、弟弟蘇轍都是宋代著名文人。http://pdf.wenweipo.com/2015/10/23/a30-1023.pdf

- 內媒近日報道，位於湖北荊州、號稱全球最大的關公雕像基座出現裂痕，正在沉降，且屬違建，未經過消防驗收便開門營業。當局去年六月已要求整改，但至今未獲理會，令人擔心該像有倒塌危險。負責建設的公司聲稱，雕像安全。https://orientaldaily.on.cc/cnt/china_world/20200712/00178_014.html
- 內媒前日報道，荊州市政府已組織各部門及專家，為搬移該像制訂方案。網民直指當年花巨資興建，現又要花巨資拆遷，簡直是勞民傷財，紛紛要求追究當年批准興建者的責任。https://orientaldaily.on.cc/cnt/china_world/20201119/00178_013.html
