THE WARM WINTER IN LHASA

正In the view of many people, Lhasa's weather is harsh and cold. This is because it is geographically situated upon the highland and surrounded by snow-capped mountain ranges and glaciers.

关于燕下都故城宫殿建筑几个问题的探索与研究

<正> 燕下都故城位于今河北省易县东南的北易水和中易水之间。它北、西和西南山峦环抱,东南面向华北大平原,正处于从上都——蓟(今北京市)到赵、齐等国的咽喉地带,是战国时期著名的陪都之一。 战国时期,随着燕国社会经济的发展和军事力量的增长,为了争雄中原,燕国的统治者就逐渐加强了对其南部城邑——武阳城的营建。到战国中期前后,武阳城已发展成为燕国南方的政治、经济、军事和文化中心,成为战国时期燕国的重要陪都之一,并直接称之为“燕下都”。 这种陪都制度,是有其渊源流长的历史进程的。并不为燕国所独有。周在灭商以前,就有丰、镐二京。《诗·大雅·文王有声》云:“既伐于崇,作邑于丰”,意即文王伐崇侯虎后,从岐下徙都于丰。“考卜维王,宅是镐京”,意即武王虽迁都于镐,而丰仍然是全国的政治、

疯教授的私家宫殿

小镇上的人都说,Ezi0教授是个疯子。造个房子,用了五年的时间都没造好——他想要一座真正的宫殿,每处细节都美。数学家一旦执拗起来,十头牛都拉不回来。所以这房子,就修修停停地整整折腾了五年。他疯吗？在Ezio温文洁净的微笑中,我怎么觉得在他的世界里。为生活忙碌奔波、追求速食快乐的我们,才是真正的疯子。。     

上博藏简《昭王毁室》试释

《昭王毁室》与《昭王与龚之雎》共存于竹简十枚之中,为《上海博物馆藏战国楚竹书》第四册所公布出土竹简之两篇,与春秋战国之楚国史事相关(亦可能为通性之真实耳,详下),极为珍贵。因第五简有墨钉,故离析之。先就前者试解,《昭王毁室》存196字,原整理者已有校读,后来之研究者亦多,但疑义仍存,我认为不明于先秦宫室制度与丧葬礼俗,便无法明了此篇。释文一般采用宽式,计算机无法显示之处,依偏旁分析,以《说文》从某、某声法,实述字形
