黄金盛宴

<正>远古时期的人类对太阳充满了狂热的崇拜,在他们看来,只有太阳才能给人带来光明、温暖和幸福。而黄金散发着和太阳一样神秘的光芒,被人类当作太阳的化身,认为拥有了黄金也就拥有了太阳,拥有了至高无上的权力和财富。这种观念始于古代红海沿岸崇拜太阳的闪米特人,而今延伸至世界各个角落。各种黄金、金色的景观、生物也因此深受人们的偏爱。本期杂志,我们以黄金为线索,为您推荐了多处迷人的金色风景。在深度     

薰衣草盛宴

春天,来自大西洋的暖风唤醒了整个伊犁河谷。一株株薰衣草,悄悄伸展着被积雪压弯的枝干。北有科古尔琴山、婆罗科努山,南有哈克他乌山、那拉提山,中部为乌孙山、阿吾拉勒山。三山夹两盆、西宽东窄的喇叭口地理结构,让伊犁河谷既能有效锁住西风带来的水汽,从而转化为降雨滋养整个地域,又能借助地势形成密布的天然水道使土壤不至于太涝。再加上地处北纬43°39′到44°50′,

非洲塞伦盖蒂的大地上,蕴藏着大自然不可名状的神秘规则,庞大的动物种群静谧而磅礴,每一个渺小的个体都在极力奔跑证明自己的存在,风中夹杂着河流的潮湿与沙砾的干燥,像是沾满细沙的珍珠,妆点着这片土地的广袤高远。     

张岱的盛宴

公元1634年的十月,大明王朝虽已进入残喘的暮季,但著名作家张岱心情依然大好。 这一天,他带着女演员朱楚生,住进了杭州西湖边的不系园。这是富商汪然明精心建造的一只游船,船名“不系园”,取自庄子“泛不系之舟,虚而遨游者也”,由陈继儒题字,陈继儒,董其昌,李渔,钱谦益,这些著名人物都曾在这条船上饮宴过,并留下诗文。     

莫高窟的盛宴

流动的盛宴

“假如年轻时你有幸在巴黎生活过,那么你此后一生中不论到哪里,她都与你同在,因为巴黎是一席流动的盛宴”。这是著名作家海明威《流动的盛宴》扉页上的题词。这句话目前已经成为巴黎的“文化名片”,被广为传诵。当然如果你暂时去不成巴黎,有一个办法也可以让你用眼睛、耳朵和心灵去聆听、去感受巴黎的种种美好,那就是驾驶着同样源自巴黎创新精神的DS6。在人们的期待下,具有浪漫情怀的法系品牌DS终于推出了自己的首款SUV产品——DS6。而选择丽江作为试驾地,不仅是因为这是一座文艺小资气息浓重的城市,更是因为DS6野性与优雅并存的气质与丽江这座城市有着几分默契和相通之处。     

芒市的味蕾盛宴

朋友拉着我径直去了芒市近郊的东南方向,穿过一个叫孔雀湖的湖泊上山,沿着一条碎石小踩拾阶而上,绿树丛中会闪现出几幢木屋。神秘的地方在山顶,是一间很大的木屋,落地的玻璃大窗,有美食伺候。     

鸟儿的色彩盛宴

<正>秋天鹬鸻迁徙,总体数量比春天少了许多许多,而且也没有了春天的生机勃勃,难以看到有规则的鸟浪,成鸟都带着小鸟,以补充能量和休息为主,更多的是责任。说起拍摄水鸟的经历,我至今耿耿于怀,以至于这几年都不愿和水鸟有纠葛。2015年的劳动节前夕,我在江苏小洋口拍摄,鸟况非常好,光线也非常好,无论海滩还是内塘;无论鸟阵还是珍稀鸟,一齐上阵,我拍得不亦乐乎,几天的工夫,拍摄的片子就装满了一个硬盘。     

纸鸢凌空去 春风如可托

<正>清代骆绮兰《春闺》曰:"春寒料峭乍晴时,睡起纱窗日影移。何处风筝吹断线?吹来落在杏花枝。"风筝艺人张保成,居于南京市军农路,这里满眼是破旧的老楼、幽深的巷道,不见繁华都市的气息,这很符合人们对民间手工艺的印象。这是南京老手工的聚集地:捏面雕的、剪纸的、雕玉器的……每一个房间都是一个单独的工作室,由一位民间艺人坐镇,成为南京老手艺的大本营。而我们要寻找的风筝艺人张保成,就是其中一员。一个人,一房间,一个自己的工作室,他坚守着一门老手艺的同时,也追寻着自己的人生理想和生活态度,亦如元代谢宗可所言:"一番春事一番空,放却风筝逐断蓬,博得飞翔纤指

Barometrical Determination of Heights in Lebanon

Abstract

A unique moulded lamp was recovered at the 'Temple of the Winged Lions' by the American Expedition to Petra. It displays the signs of the zodiac running clockwise round the filler hole. Apparently beginning with the sign for Scorpio, the regular order of zodiac representations was not followed. A female bust (a goddess?) is shown on the handle, and a walking cock, with a schematized plant, is shown next to the wick hole. This is only the second representation of the zodiac known in Nabataean iconography. The other example surrounds the bust of the 'Vegetation Goddess' from Khirbet et-Tannur.     

Traditional Soap Workshops in Nizip (Gaziantep), South-Eastern Turkey

With the development of the modern soap production techniques, traditional ways started to vanish. In the past, sabunhane, soap workshops, were built in the regions where there was olive-oil production. In Turkey, many soap workshops, large and small in scale, in the settlements where there was soap production. Until now, there has been no extensive study of the soap workshops in Turkey. This study identifies and documents the historical soap workshops in and around Nizip (Gaziantep) in south-eastern Turkey, which are important features of the region’s industrial heritage. Amongst these workshops, Nizip Say?nlar workshop, which was built in the 19th century with architectural features characteristic of the region, and which reflects the technological level of the period and processes of production, is described in greater detail. First, the distinctive architectural features of the soap workshops are analysed. The importance of soap production and its historical development are described, and the tools and techniques used in the production and relationship with the architectural space of the workshops are explained. A comparative study of the soap workshops located around Nizip is undertaken and some suggestions on the preservation of a few surviving soap workshops are provided.
