- Emperor Taizong of the Tang appoints capable and incorruptible people to important positions because he knows his ministers well, and he understands how to harness them. Taizong often invites frank advice or even criticism from his ministers. Trying hard not to abuse his absolute power, he shows his respect for life. Through his employment of upright ministers such as Wei Zheng, he turns out to be a modest Emperor who welcomes advice. In his reign, he puts agriculture first and practices thrift. Also, culture and religion are rejuvenated; the imperial examination system is further completed. Under these circumstances, a stable society is achieved. In military, he puts down the turbulence caused by Tujue power. In ethnic relations, he respects ethnic minorities' mores. As a result, the stability in Tang's border areas is also accomplished. Emperor Taizong's reign title is Zhenguan (from 626 to 649), known as the Reign of Zhenguan in Chinese History. His reign is considered the first golden age of Tang Dynasty, which lays a solid foundation for the Kaiyuan era.

- This is the fourth movie starring a tiger boy named Shimajiro, and it has already been screened in movie theaters around Japan. Like its three predecessors, the movie has been conceived to be a child's first movie theater experience, and has been designed in a way that will hold the attention of a young audience throughout the film. Each child is given a cardboard megaphone that they are encouraged to use at various times by the story's characters to cheer them on or shout a particular phrase, and even use as a tool to help the characters out of a tight spot. In the movie, Shimajiro and his friends find themselves magically transported into the pages of an illustrated children's book. In keeping with this storybook theme, every encounter is depicted using different media-from animation to puppetry and paper dolls-and incorporates a wide variety of interactive activities, including singing, dancing, and riddles. Japanese screenings of the movie came with a short break in the middle, while the lighting and sound in the theater are adjusted to give the children the most comfortable experience possible.
