女红·名绣·闺教习俗--闺教习俗的民俗学解读

读《红楼梦》时,一般读者只注意到宝钗的端庄稳重,黛玉的咏絮奇才,湘云的开朗大方,却很少注意到宝钗“每夜做活”,黛玉“裁衣”、“绣花”,湘云会刺绣别致的扇袋儿……此外探春会做鞋、莺儿会结络子、编花篮……为什么大观园的小姐丫鬟们几乎人人都有精湛的技艺呢?她们的技艺是谁教的?何时学的?为什么要学这些?学了这些技艺对她们又有什么重要意义呢?这一系列的疑问涉及到封建社会对女子的一种传统教育习俗——闺教。尽管封建社会统治者从根本上剥夺了广大妇女受教育的权利,但普通的民间女子却一直接受着闺教这样一种非正规的教育方式。这种…

Ladies who Lounge: Class,Religion and Social Interaction in Seventeenth‐Century Isfahan

Western society appears inordinately keen on outdated and stereotypical tropes of Islamic architecture, talking of a ‘hidden world’ of Islam in which women are seen and not heard as they live their lives incarcerated in the harem. This trope of Western Orientalism has become entrenched in our culture through travel accounts, the writings of historical voyeurs such as Sir Richard Burton and the romantic/erotic imagery of nineteenth‐century Orientalist painters. This paper aims to dispel many of the preconceptions that are held regarding the Iranian harem and the role of women in Safavid society by addressing the status of elite Iranian women, but also placing them in the wider context and considering the evidence for lower‐class women who could simply not afford to live a cloistered life. There is also the case of non‐Muslim women whose religions forbade polygamy and who were therefore immediately placed outside the harem and, although Safavid Iran included significant numbers of Zoroastrians and Jews as well a handful of Hindus, this paper will concentrate on one particular religious minority; the Caucasian Christians who were such an integral part of Abbas’ great project that they were awarded a particular status in the city of Isfahan.

震动晚清政局的云南报销案

在云南报销案期间,御史弹劾军机大臣受贿巨万,王文韶因此离开了军机处,李鸿藻承认接受过“炭敬”。奕主张严查“炭敬”之类的贿赂,翁同和等与之多次激烈辩论,使晚清政局产生了不小的震动。最后,慈禧还是采纳了翁同和等人的意见,“炭敬”之类的贿赂不予追究,因为这一类的贿赂由来已久,官场习以为常,清政府的腐败已经积重难返,牵涉的人太多,已经查不胜查了。
