甲骨文“骨”“冎”辨释

甲骨文■等字形通常隶释作“冎”字,与其密切相关的■等字形旧释“骨”（冎）,或释“■”,现在许多学者则释作“肩”。依据■等字形在甲骨卜辞中的用法,以及古文字和传世典籍等材料,并从■等字形与相关文字的形、音、义关系来分析,释“肩”依据不充分、不妥当,释“骨”更为合理。通过释论■等形及相关文字的释读问题,进而辨释“■”与“■”两种字形的形、音、义关系,我们认为甲骨文“■”与“■”已明显分化为两个字——“■”释读为“冎”,“■”等形则应释读为“骨”,也就是说“■”与“■”表示的是“冎”“骨”两个不同的词。     

始于东方 不止于色彩

从青铜器、青瓷等器物，到青色系颜色在古代绘画中的大量运用，并以“丹青”作为对绘画的通称，以及“青天”、“青史”、“炉火纯青”等高贵而美好的词汇，     

宁夏明长城资源调查中三则新发现

明代中期以后为防御蒙古套部扰掠,在今宁夏南北分设固原、宁夏两镇,所谓“九边重镇”独占其二。同时先后修筑了包括“河东墙”及“沿河边墙”、“深沟高垒”与“横城大边”、“旧北长城”与“北长城”“西长城”“固原内边”以及“徐斌水新边”等数条备边工事。本文拟就长城资源调查中新发现与确认的明代对固原镇城附近战国秦长城的修缮利用、“徐斌水新边”长城以及“河东壕堑”三则新发现及相关情况略作介绍论述。     

一个值得深入反思的历史课题——国外毛泽东与"文化大革命"研究评析

毛泽东与“文化大革命”(以下简称“文革“)关系的研究是国外毛泽东研究的重要问题,这一问题的研究经历了一个由浅到深的过程。“文革”的起因、社会后果以及否定“文化大革命”与继承毛泽东思想的关系等问题,构成了国外“文革”研究的主要内容。在“文革”结束30周年之际,探讨国外关于“文革”的研究,对于我们深入反思“文革”教训、正确评价毛泽东和毛泽东思想、吸取历史教训以及坚定改革信念,无疑具有重要的现实意义。     

科学发展观与科学改革观

从逻辑延伸、决策意图、落实机制以及社会反应等方面可以看出,科学发展观呼唤科学改革观;科学发展观从历史观、价值观以及方法论等方面规范着科学改革观;以科学发展观为依据,科学改革观要经得住历史与现实、公平与效率、国计与民生以及“普适”与“特色”几个维度的检验。     

福建地名多“安”、“宁”

闽境自从有了“建安县”、“建安郡”、“建宁县”、“瓯宁县”、“建宁府”和“建安道”等举足轻重的行政区域．便出现了带有“安”字和“宁”字的邑名。这种“安宁文化”的辐射力与渗透力,与建瓯系闽源之地以及在闽境历史上的“领头羊”地位有关。其后衍生出来的邑名,共有“十安”、“六宁”．     

封、疆、界:中国古代早期对于域界的表示

甲骨文、金文以及秦楚瓦文、简牍中所见的“封”(“夆”)乃是人工堆筑的土堆,其上或植有树木;“封”多沿着道路设置,用以表示其地域之归属;田地中的“封”则置立于田畔或阡道上,用于标识田地的归属。金文与秦楚简牍中所见的“疆”“畺”或“彊”,则是人为地划出的界线,它可以但并不必然表现为自然或人为的地理事物。“界”也是一种人为的划分,却有具体的自然或人为的地理事物作为标识;用于表示“界”的地理事物主要有关、垣、离、格、堑、封、刊、坞、虎落、天田、立石等人为的地理事物,以及山、川等自然地理事物。     

福建闽南地区古代陶瓷生产概述

闽南陶瓷产品享誉海内外,具有代表性的品种有：末代同安窑系“珠光青瓷”、明代德化窑“猪油白”、明末清初平和窑“克拉克瓷”以及“吴须赤绘”、“交趾烧”和明清漳州窑“米色釉”等诸多品种。     

洛阳博物馆馆藏汉代石戏陶俑赏析

百戏,又名散乐。它是杂技、歌舞及民间各种新的音乐技艺的总称。汉时的百戏通常是指流行于两汉的各类竞技、杂耍、幻术以及乐舞、俳优戏和动物戏等,当时沿袭了秦朝的称法,叫作“角抵”,如“角抵戏”、“角抵奇戏”、“角抵诸戏”、“角抵百戏”等。“汉代百戏”是在东汉以后对上述不同艺术表

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
