关于领导干部"知"、"言"、"行"的思考

“知”、“言”、“行”既是认识论中认识与实践关系的具体化,也是中国传统文化对认识与实践关系的经典表述。领导干部作为在社会中发挥重要作用的群体,要努力培养读书学习的习惯,认真提高讲话文稿的质量,正确对待本职工作的实绩,在更高的层面实现“知”、“言”、“行”的有机统一,履行好党和人民赋予的重大责任。     

楚都"鄩郢"新探

原湖北江陵与潜江（西南）之间的龙湾一带经过考古发掘证实是一处大型王宫遗址并有城址,沙市秦简记述竟陵至江陵之间的地名有寻平,新蔡楚简记有楚王驻跸之地“鄩郢”,推测,楚之“鄩郢”或有可能就在秦时“寻平”一带,地处龙湾。     

释“馘”、“■”及其相关字

甲骨文、金文馘(■、■)字与其所从■字等的释读涉及相关甲骨文、金文数例。甲骨文、金文“■、■、■”等字即馘字,馘字所从“■、■、■、■”等字即■字。     

西周金文中的“dui”和西周的军事功能区

西周金所见“师”,是了解西周王朝权力实现方式的重要视角。西周“师”组织的基本编制、驻扎地域、职事管理系统、土地构成要素及权力来源等一般特征表明：西周之“师”既是军事组织,也是承担特殊职能的具备独立行政能力的地域组织。其此种复合的特征,可以用“军事功能区”这一概念来表述。     

略谈"三言"、"二拍"中的媒妁形象

“三言”“二拍”中的“三姑”“六婆”多数为好利贪财之人，为了黄白之物，费尽心机，巧舌如簧。将良家女子诱入“狼穴”，为男女私情“穿针引线”等行径，反映了那个时代畸形的婚烟制度。     

浅谈刀形端刃器的起源

在中国的考古调查、发掘中常发现有这样一种器物:器身扁平,长条状,刀形,其刃不在长边而在短边,有凹弧刃、“V”字形刃(近平刃) 和“戈首”形刃;阑有单阑、双阑之分,阑端侧或阑间侧常见若干小细齿,阑间多数阴刻有平行     

“民可使由之不可使知之”句读异断

对《论语·泰伯》中的“民可使由之不可使知之”一句,现行一切《论语》版本,都一无例外地断读为“民可使由之,不可使知之。”而许多批孔者便以此为孔子视“民”为群氓之依据,对孔子作无数“严肃”、“认真”的批判。且不言以一语概一人之为是否有妥,但论是种断读是否唯一正确。对是种断读,前人曾有疑之者。清代刘宝楠疑     

《国学概论》"今文"、"古文"观商榷

经学研究是钱穆学术研究的重点之一,尤其是经学的今古问题。《国学概论》是钱氏早期经学研究的代表作。今敢就钱氏《国学概论》中所涉“今”“古”概念之运用提一商榷。钱氏今古观之误莫不在于固守先秦诸子晚出今之论;《概论》之弊,要不出“泛化”亦即混淆今古之争。究其原委,思想渊源系出于他对先秦诸子学的社会性质之认识,即先秦时“字已有古今,而实贵族、平民间一大分野也。”此说虽新意可喜,然不切历史事实之真相也。     

"樂"字本义及早期樂与藥的关系

“樂”字的构形初义,即“藥”字。上古时期,乐舞是一种重要的医疗方式,因此也被冠名为“樂(藥)”,并在意义日益加强之后独占“樂(藥)”字,使“樂”字成为音乐之乐的单称。而原来的药物之“樂”,则另加一义符,成为后来的“藥”字。     

玉门关名义新探 --金关、玉门二名互匹说

斯坦因说玉门关得名于西域玉石之输入。查古代史、志、记、传及各种类书皆无此说,现当代权威性词书及地名词典亦不取此说,断知其说无稽。本以为。“玉门”一词系借用西汉以前旧有成词。《易》有“西北之卦……为玉为金”之言,又有“金性刚坚”、“玉质温润”之说,“金”之坚刚,用之以抗威诛逆;玉质温润,用以示仁而泽外。“金关”、“玉门”二名互匹,兼示性质功能之别。

Bossler,Beverly, Courtesans,Concubines, and the Cult of Female Fidelity

Employing a wealth of detailed evidence, the author of the book portrays an ambitious picture of gender relations in the roughly five centuries from late-Tang to late-Yuan. In order to make the incredibly complicated picture more organized, Bossier divides the book chronologically into three time periods, the Northern Song （with a little part touching on the late Tang）, the Southern Song, and the Yuan. Within each time period, Bossier analyzes three major categories of women---courtesans, concubines, and wives--in that sequence. Such arrangement is a clear sign of her argument： from Song to Yuan, writings on men＇s romantic relationship with courtesans gradually gave way to wives＇ fidelity and obligations, which was being applied more generally to all women, including courtesans, courtesan-concubines, and concubines. The application of wifely virtue to all women promoted the status of concubines within the family, as they were expected to behave and be treated like respectable wives. As a consequence, wives＇ authority declined, especially when sons produced by wives and concubines received equal treatment. Such a practice stressed the importance of paternal side while ignoring the maternal one, hence greatly intensified the patriline.

Land,Stone, Trees,Identity, Ambition: the Building Blocks of Brochs

Brochs are impressive stone roundhouses unique to Iron Age Scotland. This paper introduces a new perspective developed from architectural analysis and drawing on new survey, fieldwork and analogies from anthropology and social history. The study of architectural design and constructional detail exposes fewer competitive elements than previously anticipated. Instead, attempts to emulate, share and communicate identities can be detected. The architectural language of the broch allows complex layers of individual preferences, local and regional traditions, and supra-regional communications to be expressed in a single house design. The proposed ‘productive households’ model moves beyond ideas of competing elites at times of stress, and invites a new debate by expanding a more complex broch concept beyond the Atlantic core.
