故宫藏瓷雕 德化“中国白” 明代是何来 今人陈仁海 百年小平纪念瓷《人民之子》

2004年8月22日是伟人邓小平诞辰100周年纪念日,“中国白”瓷雕大师陈仁海先生独具匠心设计《人民之子》,又引起收藏界极大关注。邓小平同志是中国改革开放、一国两制的一本“史书”,如何以一件典雅的“中国白”体现小平同志的丰功伟绩,的确难以定稿,难就难在很难把小平同志改革开放、一国两制的思想内涵和伟人形象表现出来。2003年,陈仁海大师在设计毛泽东诞辰110周年纪念瓷《谁主沉浮》,也遇到如此问题,即如何把毛泽东“中国人民从此站起来了”的思想内涵立体表现于一件作品之中。一件纪念作品设计的关键在其魂难以挖掘,而陈仁海大师恰恰做到了这点,被收藏界一致认可。有一位上海收藏家致信“陈仁海大     

孙中山的铁血将军

在中国的革命史册上,记载着清末湖北新军中一位正目（相当班长）,在群龙无首的危急情况下,仅以150发子弹和40来人,率先打响辛亥革命武昌起义的第一枪,实现了孙中山先生为之奋斗几十年的反清大12月20日．孙中山至香港与迎接人员在归国路上合影计,为推翻清廷王朝,结束在我国延续了两千多年的封建帝制立下了赫赫头功。对此,孙中山先生不但多次高度赞扬了他这一惊天动地的伟大功勋,而且还特意赠送了他“熊一枪”的美称;更有趣的是,被他打下了事帝宝座的宋代皇帝博仪,盛赞他是“当今的盖世英雄”,他就是被称之为孙中山先生的铁血将…

赵树理怎么成了“贫下中农的死敌”

赵树理是我国现代文学史上一位颇具传奇色彩的作家。他熟悉农民,热爱农民,一生扎在农村写农民。他的作品有着浓厚的乡土味,吸引着各个层次的读者,真正做到了“雅俗共赏”。他能写出各种形式的文章,通晓民间的吹拉弹唱。毛泽东誉他为“人民作家”,胡耀邦把他同鲁迅、郭沫若、茅盾、巴金、曹禺、老舍并列,称为“中国近代的大文豪”,“语言艺术的大师”。可悲的是,这样一个才华横溢的作家,却在“十年浩劫”中历经摧残,蒙冤去世。而他离开人间时,竟然还背着一个“贫下中农的死敌”的罪名。     

文化奇人张伯驹

在中国现代老一辈的文化名人中,张伯驹先生是集收藏鉴赏家、书画家、诗词学家、京剧艺术研究家于一身的文化奇人。国画大师刘海粟说：“他是当代文化高原上的一座峻峰。从他那广袤的心胸涌出四条河流,那便是书画鉴藏、诗词、戏曲和书法。四种姊妹艺术互相沟通,又各具性格,堪称京华老名士,艺苑真学人。”     

毛泽东与梁漱溟的交往

被称为“中国最后一个儒家”的梁漱溟先生,是一位学识渊博、著作等身的国学大师。然而他的大名为世人所熟知,是因为上世纪他同毛泽东之间有着一段非同寻常的交往,却不完全在于他学术上的成就。1918年,毛泽东梁漱溟同在北京大学梁漱溟原名梁焕鼎,字寿铭,“漱溟”是他发表文章时常用的笔名。他祖籍广西桂林,1893年10月生于北京。     

菲律宾的著名侨领李清泉

继承绝学惟一有望之人──记汤炳正先生

世人多知汤炳正先生是四川师大教授，“中国屈原学会”会长，在学界享有“楚辞学大师”之荣誉；但同时他又是一位成就卓著的语言文字学家，恐怕就鲜为一般读者所了解。其实早在三十年代，他就在语言文字学界颇富盛名，并大受其师章太炎先生的器重，被推许为“承继绝学惟一有望之人”（见天津版《大公报）1936年6月17日）。1936年秋，他又被章先生创立的“章氏国学讲习会”礼聘为“声韵学”和“文字学”的教席。由此可见，当时他在传统语言文字学界的不凡影响。半个世纪来，场老在语言文字学上不仅厥功甚伟，而且还为中国学者赢得了世界性的…     

Advances in Morphometrics in Archaeobotany

ABSTRACT

Morphometric analysis offers an alternative or augmentation to traditional archaeobotanical methods to address differences within and between plant species and their remains, refining and enhancing taxonomic resolution. Morphometrics, the measurement of size and shape, and the multivariate statistical analysis of generated quantitative variables, have long played a major role in biological research, including plant taxonomy and systematics, although its application in archaeobotany is relatively recent. Over the last few decades, there has been an increasing interest in the use of morphometrics for analysing a varied range of archaeological plant materials (mainly seeds, pollen, phytoliths, and starch grains). In particular, morphometrics have contributed to the study of the domestication and spread of many cereals world-wide, as well as that of other taxa including legumes, underground storage organs (USO), and fruits (such as olives, grapes, and dates). This paper reviews current methodologies, recent applications, and advances in the use of morphometrics in archaeobotanical research, discusses its role in exploring major research questions, and suggests possible future directions for its use.     

杏开二月

已经是二月仲春了,大地柔软,天气慢慢热起来了。一场习习的春雨,浇得人心头酥酥的。我第一次注意到,家门前的杏树开了。枝干上,星星点点,挑着几朵白,轻盈得很,把薄薄的心打开,驻足美的枝头,观赏人间烟火。背后是灰灰的庭院,低矮的     

Geography in Higher Education in Australia

Within the last 30 years, geographical information systems (GIS) have been used increasingly in the training of geographers. On the basis of the philosophy of technology and instrumental genesis, we sketch how the use of instruments interacts with learning processes and outline how this can be studied. We empirically analyse students' learning processes and the influences of teaching practice in an introductory course in GIS. We show that students have different strategies for creating their personal instrument for spatial thinking and how teaching interacts with the students' learning processes. Finally, we discuss how GIS may gradually alter future professional development of geographers.     

America in Speech and in Deed

The author's primary aim in what follows is to fully articulate Chantal Delsol's critique of late modern universalism as an attempt to depoliticize the individual for the sake of replacing politics with morality. The result of this depoliticization is a quasi-pantheistic cosmopolitanism that not only effectively denies the significance of individuality, despite rhetorically lionizing it, but also undercuts the freedom of individual conscience that makes moral choice possible. Genuine political prudence and moral judgment are subsequently replaced by the rigid exactitude of a technocratic analysis that reintroduces the "clandestine ideology" it was, despite protestations to the contrary, intended to eliminate. The unhappy paradox produced by the attempt to replace the necessary limitations of political judgment with the universality of a priori moral decree is that a new set of culturally and historically idiosyncratic political attachments are surreptitiously introduced beyond the pale of reasonable debate and disagreement. Delsol's measured response is not a precipitous rejection of universalism as such but a rehabilitation of it that recaptures the Christian moral realism at its core.     

Tibetan-Inhabited Area in Deqen in Development

Deqen, honored as “Shangri La”,is located in the area where three rivers meet to form one in the Henduan Mountains straddling the borders of Yunnan, Sichuan and Tibet. The Deqen Tibetan Ethnic Group Autonomous Prefecture, founded in September 1957, is the only Tibetan autonomous prefecture in Yunnan Province but one of 10 in the
