试论山东郯城木旋的文化内涵

2006年,郯城木旋被列入山东省非物质文化遗产名录。木旋玩具的加工和制作以山东省郯城县港上镇樊埝村为代表。当前有关郯城木旋的研究,大多围绕木旋玩具的制作工艺、艺术特色、功能种类、传承保护等方面进行探讨,而对其背后的文化内涵鲜有涉及。木旋玩具的产生与当地民众的木崇拜意识相关联,不同的木旋玩具又有自己独特的文化意蕴。     

绳子那一头系着我的童年

我小时候有很多玩具,可我提不起半点兴趣。我从小身子骨就特别弱,一副病泱泱的样子,好像一阵风就能刮倒。连路都走不稳,哪有精神去玩玩具呢?自然,对玩具就失去了兴趣。这下可好,父母像看外星生物似的,对我研究了半天。后来妈妈听说,有一类小孩,对玩具不感兴趣。但是,孩子怎能没有玩具呢?终于有一天,我发现妈妈从单位带回来一根很长的红绳子,是可以编中国结的那种。你可能怎么都想不到,这根红绳子成了第一个与我有缘的玩具。以后的日子里,我每天都拿着那根绳子研究,先用绳子不停地打结,再不停地拆开。接着,我竟迷恋起用绳子捆东西,拖着它在家里走来走去,这对很少运动的我反而是个大

凸凹村的故事

凸凹村,白族叫作“鼓扣梦”,是在罗坪山的西边山脚下,黑潓江的东岸。这里到处都是凸凸凹凹的,连村子里的土地也是这样,没有一处平坦的地方,整个村子,住的都是白族人家。你们知道嘛,这个村子原来不叫凸凹村,叫作矿旺村。因为村子后面的罗坪山,古时候盛产银矿铜矿,人们就把它叫矿旺村。这个村子后山肚里是空的,从豹子沟那里会吹出一股风来,据说那风是从山肚肚里的石头缝里吹出来的呢。因为这山出银子,世世代代的白族人,就靠挖银矿卖给老财,炼银子挣些钱来买米买粮过日子。清朝初年,吴三桂领着大兵来到

游戏中得到的收获

小孩子都有一个共性:大人们常用的东西是他们最钟爱的玩具。比如:遥控器,钥匙,手表,手机等,精明的商家针对这个特点便发明了种类繁多的模拟玩具。我女儿也不例外,对这类玩具简直是情有独钟,无论是“手机”还是“座机”加起来足有十来个,而且还各个不同,各有特色。每当女儿摆弄它们时,我都会受到女儿的特别邀请——陪她玩电话游戏。我坐在这边,女儿则坐在一米开外的那边,近在咫尺却聊着远在天涯的温馨话语。有时是常用的问候语;有时是女儿擅长的提问题;有时是无理的要求……总之,我和女儿总能通过这小小的交流工具进行沟通。从这个游戏中,女…     

细节决定大节——从小事开始培养孩子

教育孩子无非是些琐碎的小事,特别是七岁以下的孩子。但是在这些小事的细节上,父母的做法却决定了孩子一生的大节。乱扔东西(男孩,3岁)孩子玩耍时就喜欢乱扔东西,他随手把手里的玩具和饼干扔的满地都是。爸爸妈妈每次都要求他整理玩具时,他都充耳不闻。妈妈只好无可奈何地跟在他后面收拾。屋子里整天是孩子扔得满地的玩具和妈妈的抱怨声。大节:孩子乱扔东西的原因是缺少计划性,缺少对事情的统筹安排。周密的计划性对孩子的学习及成人后的处事都非常重要,有计划性的孩子在逻辑性强的学科,比如数学就相对比没有计划性的孩子掌握得快且好,可见…     

放映员往事

每当丧礼降临村子的时候,总会勾起王炳民对于过去时光的回忆。“我从小生活在这个村子里,父亲也是。记得小时候,村子里谁家有人过世了,父亲总会去帮忙。父亲是农民,没有钱,也没有文化,但他想着给人做点事总是可以的,扫地、摆桌子、打水、做饭……这些事情他都会去做。”     

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
