"禹娶涂山"的考古学考察

由中原龙山文化王湾类型发展而成的二里头文化二里头类型是夏文化 ,而分布在豫东皖西北的王油坊类型和属于淮夷的涂山氏文化遗存有着极其密切的关系。考古资料证明 ,二里头文化的遗址已经分布到了豫东 ,并对江淮地区的土著文化产生过强烈的影响 ,这一事实正好为“禹娶涂山”提供了一个考古学的背景。

The Inside Story of China's High-Tech Industry: Making Silicon Valley in Beijing. Yu Zhou

Two noted political geographers examine the results of surveys in the "de facto" states of Abkhazia and South Ossetia conducted in 2010. They assess the migration intentions of their residents, the likely destinations and motivations for planned departures, as well as the dramatic population decline due to emigration and expulsion of Georgian residents after wars in the early 1990s. Discussed are economic dislocations, the breakaway republics' uncertain geographical status, as well as improvements in security and economic conditions due to Russian military guarantees and massive economic aid that followed the 2008 wars with Georgia. The authors utilize key predictors derived from hypotheses about the push and pull forces affecting the decision to migrate (socio-demographic, war experiences, and attitudes about the "de facto" state prospects) to develop explanatory models of migration for each territory before deriving a pooled set of explanations. Both surveys suggest the likelihood that the majority of potential migrants have already left.

Getting the China Story Right: Insights from National Economic Censuses

Two Hong Kong-based geographers critically interrogate competing interpretations of the nature and dynamics of China's ongoing economic transformation. Based on the data gathered from China's first and second national economic censuses, they examine the pattern and process of ownership transformation in the Chinese economy, focusing on employment, capital assets, and output as well as productivity and industrial innovation. Emphasis is placed on the following critical issues: (1) after three decades of opening, China's national economy continues to be dominated by domestic enterprises (with foreign and overseas Chinese-invested enterprises limited to only a few industrial sectors and highly specific locales); (2) the bulk of capital assets and key large-scale industrial sectors remain in state ownership; and (3) spontaneous, bottom-up privatization of the labor market has occurred without a corresponding privatization of the capital market. In examining these and other issues, the authors argue that the evolving, complex "China story" can be better understood only after abandoning reliance on preconceived theoretical models derived primarily from Western experience. They support their case by first challenging the conventional neoliberal view of privatization as an independent force or predetermined condition, arguing instead that it is conditioned by prevailing social and political influences. Likewise, they posit that rapid expansion of private and individual businesses at the grassroots level has owed more to relaxed state control than to active state involvement envisioned by the thesis of state corporatism.

《论语·里仁》：“君子喻于义，小人喻于利”新解

定州汉墓竹简本《论语》可补充后代学从残存的郑玄《论语注》等材料中辨别《古论》、《鲁论》、《齐论》异同的不足。今本《论语》中属于《鲁论》的部分,或《鲁论》对古《论语》解读的一些内容,是从今本《论语》中难以辨别和看到的,但幸运的是竹简本《论语》的出土提供了一些线索,从中可看出一些端倪。竹简本《论语》“君子于义,小人踰于利。”一句与今本《论语》在字上就有差异,笔认为竹简本中此句当属《鲁论》,“踰”应理解成“超过”、“超出”的意思,这种理解是与孔子思想相符的。     

虞弘墓所谓“夫妇宴饮图”辨析

本文对虞弘墓图像中一幅学界一直认为是“夫妇宴饮图”的图像进行了辨析正名。作者列举了多件以“夫妇宴饮图”为主题的图像与虞弘墓这幅图像进行比对,通过男、女主人的排位原则考辨出虞墓图像的女主角不是虞弘夫人,又从其冠服特征、手持之物以及身旁二女伴的身份考定出她是一位天界神灵,即Daena女神。作者又进而指出,此幅图像的主题是表现墓主人灵魂进入天国后的美好情景。     

河州地地的故事

在民和三川地区,土族群众供奉着一个叫“河州地地”的地方神。“河州”是地名,即现在的临夏;“地地”是土语,爷爷的意思。河州地地就是河州爷爷。据说这个神本是三川附近河州汉族的神,可渡了黄河就成为土族的地方保护神了。关于这个神如何安家在三川,还有一些美妙的传说呢。

崖尔寺随想

崖尔寺,很小的时候就听说过这个名字,很早以前就知道周围的长辈常去朝拜它.尽管路途并不遥远,但山路崎岖而陡峭,要拜谒它,真的还要费一番功夫,惟有非常虔诚者、渴望者方能到达.不知怎么回事,崖尔寺对于我,一直有一种奇怪的阻隔.     

黄喉蜂虎的故事

<正>蜂虎体羽光滑、色彩鲜艳、身姿优美、声音悦耳,喜爱群居,非常引人注目,是一群与众不同的鸟。无论在地中海、非洲、南亚、东南亚还是在澳大利亚,人们对蜂虎都喜爱有加,但养蜂人除外,因为蜂虎会大量侵袭蜂窝。中国有九种蜂虎,都是流线型的身材,一种比一种艳丽,一种比一种颜值高,其中我最喜欢的是黄喉蜂虎。黄喉蜂虎因为身上颜色艳丽,被公认为鸟界"最美"小鸟,它们是蜂虎科中型鸟类,体长23～30厘米,因为喉咙处有鲜艳的黄色细羽,平时爱吃黄蜂类昆虫而得名。黄喉蜂虎流线型的身材自然不用说,羽色中那     

我与非洲

我对非洲和野生动物产生兴趣的源头是CCTV的《动物世界》.从记事起,我就痴迷于《动物世界》,其中许多纪录片取材于非洲稀树大草原.从80年代初的黑白电视机到现在的液晶电视,30年来,我一集都没漏过.我最爱去的地方是动物园,北京动物园去了不下百次.我每到一个城市,其他景点可以不去,动物园是绝对要去的.从小学开始,我订阅了一些书刊,只要有非洲野生动物的文字和图片,就剪裁下来,整理在一个小匣子里.到上高中的时候,我集合了几乎所有市面上能见到非洲动物的资料,对非洲一些野生动物保护区和野生动物习性了如指掌.

再现火塘边的故事

在茂密纷乱的植被下面．某采砂场的土面被一道黑色的水平带所打断,那是一条窄窄的灰烬层。这个采砂场布满了不规则的台阶和断崖．它的出现打断了摩拉维亚南部葡萄庄园微微起伏的地形。冰川风经由中欧河谷平原携带来细细的沉积物。几千年来形成了数十米厚的地层堆积。这些堆积中埋藏着人类的偶然行为遗留的踪迹：几块燧石、捕获动物的骨骼。或是那来自火塘边的薄薄的灰烬层。它们为人类学家克洛德·列维·斯特劳斯提出的人类区别于世界上其他生物的一种活动——“炊煮”提供了很早的证据．
