Byzantine Empire and Justinian's Code PPT, Part 2: Thoughts

What revelations does the Byzantine Empire’s transition from prosperity to decline and finally its demise give us?

(1) The rulers of the Byzantine Empire ignored the civilization factors that quietly emerged after the emergence of Western European cities. They were still intoxicated with the glorious achievements they had already made, and they even disdained to learn and absorb the advantages and strengths of other civilizations. After this closed and conservative mentality lasted for several centuries, the civilization of the Byzantine Empire was finally eliminated by the tide of history.

(2) Openness and tolerance make civilization prosper, while conservatism and narrowness make civilization decline.
