Definition
黄金时间 literally means 'golden time' and covers two distinct concepts: in broadcasting it is 'prime time' (the peak viewing period); in photography and medicine it refers to the 'golden hour' — the first hour after sunrise or last hour before sunset for best light, and the critical first hour after a traumatic injury. Context determines which sense is intended.
