Factors Shaping the Hierarchical Structure of the System of Fishery Settlements in the Northern Caspian

A number of settlement systems in Astrakhan' Oblast are defined on the basis of technological, administrative and service linkages within the North Caspian fishery industry. The industry is broken down into four successive stages in the production cycle: (1) fish harvesting; (2) primary processing and (3) production of semifinished products; (4) canning and caviar production. The settlement systems of the fish industry are characterized in terms of the significance of each production stage in the total output and in terms of the types of linkages in the production and distribution process (linkages within settlement systems, between systems, and shipments outside the oblast). Five systems are distinguished within Astrakhan' Oblast, each focused on a major processing center. The linkages are mapped, and the parameters of the systems are presented in a table.

试论中国牛车、马车的本土起源

车是古代重要的交通工具.与西亚等地相比,从"黄帝造车"等古史传说和文献记载来看,我国车出现的时间与西亚相比相差不远.中国早期车的遗存都出现在远离西北和北部边陲的中原地区.由此可见中国的车并非传自域外.商人是善于迁徙和经商的部族,车是其代步致远的重要工具,这正与文献记载相吻合.豫东平原一望无垠,适宜放牧牛马和驾车,是传说中先商活动的主要地区,在那里发现有不少史前文化的遗迹.因此有理由推断:牛车、马车应是在中国本土起源的,商族应是我国最早掌握牛车、马车驾御技术的部族.     

Europe,the rise of Asia and the future of the transatlantic relationship

This article examines how, in a global strategic context presided by the rise of Asia and the US rebalance towards that region, Europeans are contributing to transatlantic burden‐sharing—whether individually or through the EU/NATO. As Asian powers reach westward and the US shifts its strategic priorities eastward, classical geostrategic delimitations become gradually tenuous. Particularly important are the ‘middle spaces’ of the Indian Ocean, central Asia and the Arctic, in that they constitute the main avenues of communication between the Asia–Pacific and the European neighbourhood. The article seeks to understand how evolving geostrategic dynamics in Europe, the ‘middle spaces’ and the Asia–Pacific relate to each other, and how they might impinge on discussions on transatlantic burden‐sharing. It is argued that the ability of Europeans to contribute to a more equitable transatlantic burden‐sharing revolves around two main tenets. First, by engaging in the ‘middle spaces’, Europe's key powers and institutions are helping to underpin a balance of power in these regions. Second, by stepping up their diplomatic and economic role in the Asia–Pacific, strengthening their security ties to (US) regional allies and maintaining an EU‐wide arms embargo on China, Europeans are broadly complementing US efforts in that key region. There are a number of factors that stand in the way of a meaningful European engagement in the ‘middle spaces’ and the Asia–Pacific, including divergent security priorities among Europeans, the impact of budgetary austerity on European defence capabilities and a tendency to confine foreign policy to the immediate neighbourhood. The article discusses the implications of those obstacles and outlines some ways in which they might be overcome.     

论纳兰词的思想境界

纳兰性德的词在清词中首屈一指,但在文学史中地位不高,大多源于人们认为纳兰词无病呻吟,思想境界不高。文章将纳兰词与李煜、晏几道、李清照的词作对比,展示其叛逆、纯真、旷达的积极面,认为文学史应该给他在我国词发展史上更高、更重要的地位。     

Climatology of the middle atmosphere of the Southern hemisphere

Main features of spatial distribution and time variations of meteorological parameters in the Southern hemisphere at altitudes 25–80 km are reviewed on the basis of zonal empirical models revised in 1982. Meridional distribution and seasonal variations are analysed. For comparison purposes with the Northern hemisphere, a model developed by Cole and Kantor in 1978 is used. It is revealed that the compilation of new models of the Southern hemisphere atmosphere has not resulted in substantial revision of hemispheric-structure outlined earlier in studies conducted in the Central Aerological Observatory. Meridional distribution of the parameters in summer is characterized by higher values of temperature, pressure and density gradients in the stratosphere of the Southern hemisphere than in that of the Northern hemisphere. This resulted in greater advancement of the core of the summer-time easterly (low towards the equator in the Southern hemisphere than in its northern counterpart. In winter, meridional temperature gradients in the middle stratosphere are greater in the Southern hemisphere than those in the Northern hemisphere, however, rapid attenuation of the gradients with height is observed in the Southern hemisphere, and above 35–40 km they become negative near 50–60°S, in contrast to positive values typical for the Northern hemisphere stratosphere. In the wind field, specific features of the Southern hemisphere westerly flow are high intensity and relatively low altitude of the maximum speed (as compared to the Northern hemisphere).The phases of the annual temperature wave at low latitudes are similar south and north of the equator; south of 30°S a reversal of the phase is observed. The semi-annual oscillation of temperature and wind is less pronounced in middle and high latitudes of the Southern hemisphere than in the Northern hemisphere.The origin of the primary differences between the hemispheres is related mainly to lower intensity of large-scale stratospheric processes in the Southern hemisphere as compared to those in the Northern hemisphere, which is confirmed by values of the standard deviation of the parameters in the two hemispheres.In summer, temperature and pressure fields based on satellite data are symmetric relative to the poles in both hemispheres. In winter, the distortion of the mean pressure field in the mesosphere may be as great in the Southern as in the Northern hemisphere.     

史前信仰中神龙形象来源刍议

自古埃及以降的闪米特文明都有神奇蛇的信仰,但这些蛇都是克托尼俄斯的神物,代表地下界,从不升天也不飞翔,这种信仰符合蛇的自然本质。中国的龙为天神,既不符合蛇的本质,又和其他古文明崇拜的蛇神形象大异其趣。中国龙的形象来自昆虫。在大自然中,只有昆虫能由蛇体化为鸟形,也只有昆虫能暂死后再生、升天。古人神化昆虫,这实为龙的形象与崇拜来源。不同地区的萨满教,都有崇拜昆虫变形、羽化神能的痕迹。中国先民确有尚虫信仰。中国龙可能更近似于古埃及的金龟蜣螂甲虫崇拜。尽管埃及的金龟和中国的龙崇拜在起源、发展上关联性不大,但两者的信仰观念与象征意义却相当接近。夏禹形貌为虬龙,其名"禹",恰和"虫"同字,故龙、虫义同。     

Reassessing the Developmental and Chronological Relationships of the Formative of Coastal Ecuador

The Ecuadorian Formative was initially interpreted as a result of long-distance diffusion, and migration, more recent research has changed our perception of the Valdivia, Machalilla, and Chorrera culture complexes. In this analysis, these archaeological investigations are reassessed in order to reevaluate our understanding regarding the nature of these prehistoric cultures. Formative chronologies, distributions, interrelationships are reviewed in the light of Pre-Hispanic occupations in El Oro Province. Previous investigations on the Ecuadorian littoral are examined. Results indicate (1) Valdivia and Machalilla are part of the same ceramic tradition and (2) the interrelationships of these complexes to Late Formative Period ceramic sequences are more complex than previously assumed. (3) A major adaptive shift related to an increased dependence upon agriculture occurred during Valdivia VI–VIII, and continued into the Late Formative with the widespread distribution of Chorrera related material culture. (4) Long-distance interaction with the Ecuadorian highlands resulted in the spread of what may be termed a Chorrera horizon and formed the basis of subsequent Andean cosmology where it was symbolically represented according to local and regional artistic canons and over a vast area of Andean South America.     

李家崖文化年代再议

李家崖文化典型器类与晚商早期商式铜、陶器的共存关系表明,李家崖文化的年代上限应为殷墟一期,该文化早期与朱开沟文化晚期部分器物形制接近,也表明两种文化之间年代紧密衔接。李家崖文化晚期出现的弧裆鬲与仿铜风格的鬲、鼎分属先周文化和殷商文化因素,据此可推定李家崖文化的年代下限为西周早期,相关文献中关于"鬼方"等北方部族的描述也与上述认识契合。     

'On of the Princypalle Havenes of the See': The Port of Famagusta and the Ship Graffiti in the Church of St George of the Greeks, Cyprus

In its 1000-year history the port has been the source of triumph and tragedy for the city of Famagusta, being the conduit through which flowed both enormous wealth and destruction. Today the French medieval and Greek Orthodox churches, and the Venetian walls, though ruined, still carry physical traces of this turbulent society in the form of ship graffiti. Though such images are often classified as 'low-art', they are nevertheless imbued with a deep social significance, which the maritime historian can yet use to get a glimpse of an important, though virtually-forgotten, heritage in the Eastern Mediterranean.

Colour Symbolism in the Folk Literature of the Caucasus

Colour associations are analysed indirectly by a study of oral traditions and legends, using methods developed in structural anthropology. Colours are considered not in isolation, but mainly in contrasting pairs or in sequences. It has been found that a specific colour could have different associations in different conditions, and that generally the associations are more abstract than concrete.

Classification of the Amber Beads of the Hungarian Bronze Age

Abstract

Spectroscopic provenance analysis of Hungarian amber artifacts has shown that nearly all of them are of Baltic amber or succinite, which occurs naturally only in northern Europe. The present paper explores the question whether these beads were made in northern Europe and imported into Hungary as finished products, or were made in Hungary from imported raw material.

To this end, 659 extant amber beads of the Bronze Age of Hungary are divided into 17 types by shape and dimensions. The significance of the typology is borne out by striking diachronical patterns: e.g., flattened globular beads (Group III) are virtually limited to the Middle Bronze Age, while truncated bi-conical beads (Group IX) are essentially exclusive to the Late Bronze Age. By comparing Hungarian bead forms of a given period with those of countries to the north, including Denmark and the Baltic States, the classification offers a means by which imported beads may be distinguished from locally made beads.     

正统观与宋以后的五代史编纂北大核心CSSCI

五代十国时期,天下四分五裂、战乱频仍,依照何种正统观念撰述这一时期的历史成为史家争论的焦点。在宋至清长达900余年的时段内,大致有五种不同看法:其一,以五代相续为正统,代表史书有范质《五代通录》、王溥《五代会要》、薛居正监修《五代史》及欧阳修《五代史记》;其二,以梁为伪,五代史应作四代史,虽未有代表性史书问世,然有相关议论如李昉《历代年号》、张燧“朱温不宜入正统”论、宋实颖《黜朱梁纪年论》、华湛恩《〈五代春秋志疑〉自序》;其三,以五代为闰统或无统,代表作有王皞《唐余录》和朱熹《资治通鉴纲目》的五代部分;其四,以南唐承唐为正统,代表作为陆游《南唐书》、陈霆《唐余纪传》;其五,以南唐继后唐为正统,代表作为吴非《三唐传国编年》、陈鳣《续唐书》与华长卿《唐宋阳秋》。五种撰史理念,各有依据,传授、疆域、姓氏、道义等诸种因素相杂其间,既展现了传统史学精神的延续不绝和古代学者对于正义矢志不渝的追求,也凸显出正统观之多样化在推动史学发展中的重要作用。
