藏在郊区的秘密

“1995年邓丽君在清迈离世,那年开始,清迈在中国人眼里出了名。不过,那时候知道的多半是清迈的老城,其实,清迈的秘密在郊区隐藏得更多。”     

赣州千年不涝的秘密

每当洪峰来临,其它城市惨遭水淹、被市民戏称为“东方威尼斯”时,古老的赣州城却安然无恙,呈现出令人艳羡的情景：儿童在城门口水滩里嬉戏钓鱼。买卖人在滔滔洪水边安然做着生意。看起来,赣州市民并没有因为暴雨和洪水的到来而打乱原有的生活节奏,依然太平安乐,百业顺畅。     

情书间,不仅藏着两个人的秘密

自从创造了文字,大约便有了＂情书＂。一泓情思,点点墨痕,凝成素笺之上永不凋零的风景。许多浪漫情话也因此而永世流传——尽管已在时光流转中隐没了爱情的主角。它们以其绰约的风华彰显着那个时代的气质,串读下来,历史的脉络便历历可见。这千古情话,在《诗经》中,是＂死生契阔,与子成说,执子之手,与子偕老＂的濡沫情深;在汉乐府里,是＂山无陵,江水为竭,冬雷震震,夏雨雪,     

安徽查济 隐藏在山坳里的神秘古村

<正>去查济也是突然间的一个念头。皖南的古村落来来回回已经去过多次了,西递宏村的喧嚣已经让人疲倦,而查济始终让我有种"养在深闺未识"的神秘感。跟朋友提议说周末我们去查济避暑吧,一拍即合。后来觉得这个朋友将来一定是我的生死之交,因为去查济的那天,泾县的气温是42.7度,全国最高温。而合肥的温度稍微低那么点,避暑越避越热,或许这也是种独特的"避暑"方式。"十里查村九里烟,三     

让每一棵小草都沐浴在和煦的春风里——关注中等生的成长

长期以来,我们在学生思想教育上,巳经形成了一种“抓两头、带中间”的框框,导致了事实上的“忙两头、丢中间”的最终局面。其实,中等生是一个庞大的群体,容易成为优生或差生,也应该受到关注。     

The Secret Society's Secret: The Invoked Reality of the Tiandihui

This essay examines two sets of reports in the Qing-dynasty Jiaqing and Daoguang periods (respectively 1796-1820 and 1821-45) in order to understand better the perceived reality of the Tiandihui.The first set,found among the papers of Jiangxi governor Xianfu (1809-14),allows a comparison of a criminal gang that invoked the Tiandihui ceremony with one that did not.The second set includes the diary of Taihe county magistrate Xu Dihui (in office from 1824) that recorded various events which came to be reported to the senior officialdom as having been conducted by secret societies.By collating the incidents as reported in the diary and memorials to the emperor,the authors argue that the pressure of the administrative process was responsible for the ultimate acquiescence by the Hunan governor Han Wenqi (in office 1825-29) in the perception of an indisputable connection of the incidents with secret societies.Moreover,both sets of reports show that participants in secret-society ceremonies and officials who suppressed them knexv that the acclaimed networking of the Tiandihui as implied in its folklore was very far from the reality.

The Secret of England's Greatness

The Secret of England's Greatness is a portrait by Thomas Jones Barker of Queen Victoria meeting an African envoy and presenting him with a copy of the Bible. Painted around 1863, it has become an icon of British imperialism in this period and of the justification of colonial expansion in terms of the transmission of the values of the Bible. As such, the portrait appears confident and unambiguous: the secret of England's greatness is unravelled and the truth is exposed. This article seeks to disturb the apparent absence of mystery in this painted encounter and to examine what remains concealed in the meeting between the white sovereign and the black emissary. Moving from Barker's painting to William Mulready's The Toyseller, which was completed in the same years and depicts a black pedlar trying to sell a wooden toy to a white mother and child, the article uncovers, within the language of painting and its surrounding discourses, a different kind of disturbing and exhilarating secret, concerned with racial identity and mid-Victorian desire. Working from a reading of the surface of the paintings to related representations of blackness in nineteenth-century science and culture, the article considers how The Toyseller negotiates the proximity of the figures of the black pedlar and the white mother and child and the significance of the compositional gap between them and suggests that Mulready's painting visualizes many of the issues that were at the heart of British imperialism in the middle of the nineteenth century, following the abolition of slavery.

<正>近些年,有关蜂子蛰死人的报道屡见不鲜,在这些报道中,甚至用上了"杀人"这样的字眼,以描述其凶狠,可谓"蜂"声鹤唳,谈"蜂"色变。我常年游走于山林之间,寻找那些在都市里难得一见的昆虫,把它们美丽的倩影拍摄下来,这样免不了跟各类蜂群打交道。十几年下来,跟"蜂烟蜂雨"的亲密接触,使我对蜂群的内幕有了进一步的了解,读懂了一些"蜂"言"蜂"语。我也试图,用我捕捉到的画面,去揭开"杀人蜂"神秘的面纱。

《秘密花园》的女性主义解读

弗朗西斯·霍奇森·伯内特(Frances Hodgson Bumett)的儿童小说<秘密花园>(The secret Garden,1911)是其最著名、最成功的作品.人物塑造是这部作品的成功基础.除此之外,由于它体现了作者的女性主义思想.这一努力,同样是作品艺术魅力的重要所在.本文试图从人物、小说类型及花园的隐喻意义三个方面,从女性主义角度解读这部小说,探讨的笔触主要在于:第一,对人物的分析集中在两个少年人物——玛丽和迪肯,说明作者对"双性同体"思想的肯定.第二,该小说的类型使其成为形式独特的儿童小说.作者打破了传统中男孩子的书和女孩子的书的界限,将历险小说和家庭小说结合在一起.第三,伯内特给秘密花园赋予了隐喻意义.荒芜了十年的花园在玛丽的手中复活,因此它象征着女性发挥创造力的园地,是其"自己的屋子".     

新天鹅堡 一处凄美的历史遗存

<正>提到德国,人们常想到的是宝马、奔驰这样的顶级品质车,而从旅游景观来讲,德国还是一个拥有众多古城堡的国家,现存近14000座,可以说没有任何一个国家像德国那样拥有如此众多的城堡。在这些城堡建筑中,最著名的应属新天鹅堡了,它建于19世纪晚期,坐落于德国巴伐利亚西南部,离德国与奥地利边界不远,距离菲森镇约4公里,是德国旅行必选的景点之一。新天鹅堡始建于1869年,是巴伐利亚国王路德维希二世建立的行宫之一。巴伐利亚的国王路德维希二世继位后无
