夜梦亦嵌楼

1996年,我在汕头大学出版社出版的《潮人移台史》一书中记述： “顺治十八年（1661年）四月二十九日,郑成功留儿子郑经守卫金门、厦门,亲自率大军二万五千人、船只近四百艘,浩浩荡荡地向台湾进军。经过9个多月、数十次浴血奋战,郑成功于康熙元年（1662年）二月一日,接受了荷兰殖民的投降书。当年荷兰殖民向郑成功所上降书的照片,现仍陈列在台南赤嵌楼楼下展厅。”     

人生亦学问：启功先生的人情世故

称呼也是一门学问 先从有关称呼的事情说起。 启先生在世时,大家在启先生的当面,大多是称呼启先生。启先生教了70多年书,这“先生”,是学生——先生的意思,不是女士——先生的意思。也有称启老的,透着更加尊敬和一些生分。启先生有时会回以“岂（启）敢”,这是启先生的说话风格,客气,还风趣。

大话“梁祝” 亦真亦幻

“蝶盟良缘一朝订,心若磐石永不移”的“梁祝”传说,始于东晋,历经1600多年的风雨过程,至今仍为人们所神往,在于故事本身所凝聚的精神力量,其所歌颂的忠贞不渝的爱情,震憾着每一颗向往爱情美好的心灵。“梁祝”以彼此了解、爱慕的爱情为基础,不为权势钱财所驾驭,情感上达到高度契合,追求纯粹的纯真与永恒。而“化蝶”则运用了现实主义与浪漫主义相结合的艺术手法,预示着男女忠贞专一的爱情一定能胜利,吃人的封建制度只是一种残忍的方式,却无法剥夺爱情本好的美好与意念。

施南生眼中的林青霞在《窗里窗外》中,林青霞曾以“不打不相识”描述与施南生友情的开端:有一天,林青霞向施南生抱怨拍摄行程安排得不妥,让她舟车劳顿,不料在她眼中一向是女强人的施南生竟然哭了起来。原来,那天正是施南生和徐克的结婚周年纪念,施南生因为只能一个人度过而感到委屈。这让林青霞产生了一种同为女人的共鸣。“我们开始互相体谅对方,从此成了朋友”。当时两人恐怕都没有想到,这种缘分不仅让她们合作出不少好电影,让林青霞

The Triumphant Equestrian

The life of the Ming scholar and Catholic convert Xu Guangqi 徐光啟 (1562–1633) drew unprecedented attention throughout China in the 19th and 20th centuries. Writers and public figures across China’s rapidly changing society praised Xu as an ideal model for modern Chinese citizens. This sudden celebrity may seem surprising, as Xu’s name had fallen into obscurity in the centuries following his death, and his life and works were only remembered by descendants and local people in his hometown of Shanghai. Why was Xu’s legacy revived three hundred years later, and what relevance did it actually have for Chinese society in the twilight of the Qing dynasty and the Republican period? This article tackles these questions by tracing the reestablishment and development of the new Jesuit mission in Shanghai since 1842. It investigates how the memory of Xu was recovered and reinserted in the public imagination of modern China.     

A Genoese merchant and banker in the Kingdom of Naples: Ottavio Serra and his business network in the Spanish polycentric system,c.1590–1620

Abstract

The dense Genoese commercial networks – which were present in all territories under Spanish rule, fairs, commercial emporia and battlefields – were an essential factor for the survival of the crown. This raises some doubts about the dominating influence posed, according to traditional accounts, by the court in Madrid; the court was, indeed, a point of reference for the Genoese merchant families but by no means the only one. In fact, the Genoese always took care to be present in important harbours and markets, such as Naples, where they often had correspondents to look after the family’s multiple interests.

This article revolves around the crucial role played by Ottavio Serra (1570–1639), son of Giovambattista Serra, ‘signore’ of Carovigno and an active merchant and moneychanger in the viceroyalty of Naples during the first two decades of the seventeeth century. The importance of Ottavio was not limited to his participation in the economic life of Naples. The analysis of Ottavio’s activity as financial agent for his relatives and partners in Madrid, Genoa and Piacenza, among other locations, as well as the examination of his links with a great variety of economic centres in the Mezzogiorno, presents early-modern Naples as a highly ‘internationalised’ centre in the context of the polycentric Hispanic imperial system.     

Merchants,Malaria and Manliness: A Patient’s Experience of Tropical Disease

From 1862 until 1874, John Holt lived on the island of Bioko (Fernando Pó), laying the groundwork for a company that would become one of the most influential trading houses in western Africa. During his time on the coast, Holt was almost continually ill with malaria and other tropical diseases, and his illnesses had a major impact on how he experienced and interpreted his life and work in Africa. This paper draws on Holt’s private papers, as well as merchant memoirs and the historiographies of medicine, hydrotherapy and masculinity to explore merchants’ views of illness and how they were deeply embedded in broader assumptions about manliness during a time of rapid imperial expansion.

《徐复传》版本考

徐复是北宋著名术数家,因其精通京房易数,获宋仁宗赐号“冲晦处士”。曾巩的《隆平集》、李焘的《续资治通鉴长编》、王称的《东都事略》及脱脱等着的《宋史》均收录了《徐复传》。从比较不同版本的《徐复传》,可以得出一项重要的启示,也就是《隆平集》的史书地位不但出类于宋代,更留芳于元代。     

Fanuensis ergo mercator ou le petit monde d'un homme d'affaires génois,le juge Guarnerius (1210–1221)

Analysis of thirteenth-century Genoese minute-books frequently offers precise details about Genoese society and the economy of Genoa at that time. By re-grouping the entries relating to a single personage, the judge Guarnerius, one realises that the famous dictum Januensis ergo mercator, “Genoese therefore merchant”, needs reconsideration in the light of the fact that, though all the Genoese were effectively involved in commercial transactions, some were much more engaged than others. Thus Guarnerius, because of the scale of his investments and the role played around him by members of his family or household, appears in the years 1212–1220 as an early example of the Genoese professional merchant. The question arises whether, from the start of the thirteenth century, there was not already at Genoa a group of specialised businessmen from which a truly professional class of merchants was about to evolve. If such a hypothesis is confirmed, some reflections on the origins of Genoese capitalism are called for.     

Writing the Taiping War into the History of the Southern Ming: Xu Zi,the Militia of Luhe,and the Annals of a Fallen State

Between 1853 and 1858, the militia and hired braves of Luhe county, Jiangsu, distinguished themselves by successfully defending against Taiping attack when surrounding counties and cities all fell. The historian Xu Zi (1810–62) served as a militia leader, commanding a company of troops and working to raise funds to pay for provisions. At the same time, he was writing his history of the Southern Ming Courts: Annals of a Fallen State, With Appended Annotations (Xiaotian jinian fukao). In his history, Xu Zi included anecdotes of his wartime experiences, writing the Taiping War into the history of the Southern Ming. What does history do? Xu Zi hoped it could help establish and maintain the coherence of the forces fighting the Taiping. To that end, he presented exemplary figures from the past for people of his own time to emulate, and he narrated those stories to his fellow soldiers. At the same time, his work suggests that the practices of the historian—including investigation of sources, expressions of emotion, and evaluation of policy—could provide avenues for defeating the Taiping. By writing himself into his history of the Southern Ming, he showed how the past could become a tool of war.

民国时期北平城市粮食市场区位分布及其等级研究

民国时期北平城市人口众多,粮食需求颇费。北平火车站附近的粮栈作为第一级市场将粮食输入到北平城内,一级销售商携带粮食样品在第二级粮食交易市场进行商品交换,第三级市场销售商在二级交易市场确定货源后,将粮食供应全市人民,最终覆盖整个北平城。第一级粮食市场承担代替外地粮商销售买卖的功能,多集中在车站附近;二级粮食市场确定了一级市场的货源后,进一步将粮食供应系统扩大;三级销售市场的主要表现形式为米庄和陆陈行,其特点为数量大、规模小、覆盖范围广,有效地将粮食输入给最终消费者。粮食供给直接关系到民生问题,本文围绕粮食这一主题,探讨了民国时期北平城市粮食市场的总体运作原则、粮食商业的运行模式以及每级粮食供应商的特点与粮食流通方式,指出北平粮食市场的三个级别间的相互联系。
