寻找白唇鹿

"天鹿者,纯灵之兽也。"先不说古文中的天鹿指的是何种鹿。鹿在许许多多的影视和文学作品中的形象都象征着吉祥、正义、美丽等。在我国青藏高原这片得天独厚的土地上,生存着一种健硕但又灵动,威武而又温顺的动物——白唇鹿,藏族人称之为"夏瓦曲呷"。白唇鹿属大型鹿类,体型与水鹿、马鹿相似,因唇周围和下颌为白色,故名"白唇鹿",是青藏高原特有物种。

西藏马鹿再现踪迹 被国际野生动物学界宣布已灭绝五十多年的西藏马鹿,最近又重新回到人们的视线中。西藏马鹿学名“马鹿西藏亚种”,分布在西藏山南地区桑日县增期乡,最初被科学家发现是在150年前。在《濒危野生动植物种国际贸易公约》中,西藏马鹿排在白唇鹿之     

盐池湾斑头雁 在家的感觉真好

<正>盐池湾国家级自然保护区,位于甘肃省肃北蒙古族自治县境内,是以高原珍稀野生动物保护为主的超大型自然保护区。这里冰川连绵,河水甘冽。依靠冰川的护佑,党河的滋润,这里草丰水美,不仅养育着雪豹、野牦牛、白唇鹿、藏原羚、棕熊等大型兽类,也栖息着黑颈鹤、赤麻鸭、斑头雁等珍禽。其中,约有上千对斑头雁在这里栖息繁育,构建它们的幸福家园。     

石渠格萨尔文化探索之旅

2004年10月,应石渠县县委书记段毅君的邀请,我们一行5人走进了四川省西北端“鸡鸣三省”的石渠大草原。在考察中,除了那里的金沙江第一滩、雅砻江第一湾、珍稀动物黑颈鹤、白唇鹿的家园和广袤的大草原等自然景观,以及浓郁的草原部落风情,震撼心灵的石刻化给我们留下的深刻印象外,对于我这个对《格萨尔》情有独钟的人来说,那里倍受当地牧民珍爱、并引以自豪的格萨尔化对我的撞击可谓最强烈。     

哀牢山麓盛开的马樱花——楚雄彝族自治州文学简介

在我省的少数民族中,彝族是一个历史悠久、人口众多、居住分散、支系繁多的民族。仅生活在楚雄州的五十一万彝族人民,就有罗罗濮、纳苏濮、俚濮等十二个支系。它们多数散居或聚居在全州十一个县的高寒山区、半山区,少数在平坝区。虽然他们属于一个民族共同体,在许多基本方面是相同的,然而由于关山阻隔,交通不便,长期闭锁的自然经济等原因,使他们在社会生活、生产水平,以及在语言、文学艺术、生活习惯、宗教信仰等方面,形成各自的特点,呈现出多姿多彩的生动局面。楚雄州的彝族民间文学,长期以来被埋没,无人问津。对它的发掘、搜集、整理和研究,可以说是解放以后的事。正如一首彝族民歌唱的那样:     

黄河之水昆仑来

<正>西北师范大学坐落在黄河之滨。我们在这里学习、工作、生活,除了假期和周末,洪元基先生作词、卜锡文谱曲的校歌《我的校园在黄河岸上》每天都在校园里回荡：“我的校园在黄河岸上,这儿鲜花朵朵、绿树行行。我的校园在黄河岸上,这儿歌声阵阵、书声朗朗。在花丛的浓荫之中,智慧的春光在荡漾,知识的青春在流淌,啊啊啊……你的乳汁哺育我们幸福成长,你的乳汁哺育我们幸福成长。我的校园在黄河岸上,这儿鲜花朵朵、绿树行行,我的校园在黄河岸上,这儿歌声阵阵、书声朗朗,在歌声和书声之中,青春的理想在闪亮,慈祥的乐章在回响。啊啊啊……你的精神鼓励我们奔向远方,你的精神鼓舞我们奔向远方,奔向远方！”     

真番郡考评述

汉武帝元封三年(公元前108年)灭卫氏朝鲜置四郡。即在朝鲜本地置乐浪郡,在其属领的玄菟、临屯、真番之地置玄菟、临屯、真番三郡。初置这四郡之地即卫氏朝鲜的领域。关于这四郡的地理方位问题,中、朝、日史学家在过去发表了许多论文,其中关于乐浪、玄菟、临屯三郡的地理位置问题,各说基本上已趋于一致,唯有真番郡的方位问题,历来众说不一。综合真番考的各种论点,主要有真番在朝鲜之南和在朝鲜之北两说。置四郡以后,即真番郡在乐浪郡之南和在乐浪郡之北两说,简称在南、在北两说。而在北说中又分为在     

从汉画象石探索汉代织机构造

画象石刻的研究,开始于清乾隆年间。1931年,山东省图书馆曾经粗略统计过,"全国汉画石见著录者,都凡九十二种,三百二十九石。内出河南三十石、出四川四十四石、出江苏二石、出甘肃一石,其余皆在山东。其间在日本十九石、在法国十二石、在德国三石、在美国一石,又有在瑞典者,确数未详"。显然,这个统计数字是很不完备的。     

铜陵博物馆藏青铜人面饰件微探

人面纹饰青铜器的出现有着历史的渊源。人面纹像最早出现在史前时期的岩画中。在北方的宁夏、内蒙古、甘肃、新疆、青海等地广泛分布,宁夏贺兰山有着大量的人面像岩画分布,同时在江苏、广东、广西、福建、台湾等东南沿海也有一定数量的分布。在新石器时代,人面纹饰出现在仰韶文化的彩陶中,如陕西西安出土的半坡人面网纹盆。在安徽淮河流域的蚌埠双墩遗址出土了陶塑人头像。在大汶口、龙山、良渚等文化出土的玉器中出现了不少人面形纹饰。人类社会由新石器时代进入青铜时代,社会生产力有了质的飞跃,中国也进入了高度发达的青铜文明。     

要正确地看待满族

满族是我国的一个历史悠久、勤劳勇敢的少数民族,在祖国历史上占有重要地位。满族在长期发展过程中,同其他兄弟民族一道,对祖国的统一事业,建立于重要的功绩。在现代革命史中,满族人民积极参加了反帝反封建的英勇斗争,为祖国解放事业作出了重要的贡献。 目前,国内满族人口约有五百万。分布在全国各地,以居住在辽宁省为最多,约二百五十万人,占全国满族人口的一半。主要聚居在岫岩、凤城、新宾满族自治县和北镇、兴城、绥中、开原、本溪等八个县以及九十多个满族     

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
