卜辞所见商代宗教哲学中的“命”

殷墟卜辞中有“帝于令”,“令”指“天命”。卜辞中又有“受命”,即文献中所说的“正命”,或“考终命”。卜辞中有“不既赢”,“赢”读为“盈”,指乾阳之气,如同文献中所说的“休命”。《甲骨文合集》6928是一版武丁时代的龟腹甲,上有“帝命”,反映了古代天人相应的观念。     

《文史通义》中的比较方法

《史通》对比较方法的运用已经为人所熟知,而另一部史学理论经典著作《文史通义》中的比较思想却很少受到关注。事实上,《文史通义》不仅对比较方法有着普遍的运用,而且其比较思想十分深刻。书中的一些代表性理论几乎都出于自觉的比较,而比较的动力则来源于中国古代文化中深刻的“道”的观念。对此加以深入探讨,将有益于推进我们对中国古代史学思维方法独特性的认识。     

虢国墓地所出商代小臣系玉瑗

虢国墓地所出商代有铭玉器共３件,本文主要研究其中一件玉瑗上的铭文：“小臣系害”。“小臣系”是晚商的贵族,“害”字当读为“谒”,是“朝见”之义。玉瑗应是古代文献中的“贽”。     

1940年桂林版《救亡日报》的保护修复

为了研究纸质文物的保存状况、原料成分、制作工艺及病害原因,特对1940年桂林版《救亡日报》进行科学的分析检测及保护修复。采用Nicolet 8700型傅里叶变换红外光谱仪分析纸张纤维的官能团结构,采用XWY-Ⅵ型纤维测量仪对纸张纤维进行观察,以鉴定其纤维的种类形态;采用VHX-1000E视频显微镜及场发射扫描电子显微镜(JSM-6700F型)对纸张样品的加工工艺及老化程度和污染物进行分析,以确定其是否加填或施胶处理。在此基础上,在修复中采用传统的装裱技术和丝网加固技术相结合,对此件文物进行保护性修复。修复后的文物解决了缺失部分的配补,皱褶部位得以平整舒展,病害得以清除,纸张的强度得以增强,恢复了文物的原貌,从而提高了文物的整体性、观赏性,为展出、研究提供了更好的史料。     

Race,Class and Politics in Peninsular Malaysia: The General Election of 2008

Racial politics have bedevilled peninsular Malaysia since independence in 1957, largely sustained by a ruling coalition of partners sharing power unequally, in a consociational government. The effect of a racialised practice over fifty years is the institutionalisation of the politics of ethnic pluralism, each component driven by its own internal dynamic and cultural logic: for the Chinese it is the politics of economic security, for the Tamils the politics of religion and caste, and for the Malays incipient class antagonisms that are historically rooted in a feudal society. In the general election of 2008, there was an unprecedented swing of votes across the ethnic divide against the ruling government, resulting in the loss of five state governments to an opposition coalition espousing multiculturalism and the loss of the government's two-thirds majority in Parliament for the first time. However, we argue that these developments do not signal the beginning of the end of racial politics in peninsular Malaysia. Instead, the opposition has skilfully recoded multiculturalism as social justice and accountability in racial terms, and effectively communicated this to an essentially racialised electorate at a time when Malays, Chinese and Tamils had lost faith in the ruling government's ability to address deep-seated grievances specific to each of these communities.     

Buddhist temples and ancestral halls: The reconstruction of native official rituals in western Yunnan

Abstract

In the process of abolishing the native officialdoms of southwest China, the Ming court justified its actions by citing violations of ethical and ritual principles. During the Zhengtong 正統 period, offices of native officials in Heqing 鶴慶 were abolished and replaced with an office for centrally appointed imperial officials. These imperial officials turned Buddhist temples into Confucian schools and attacked local beliefs regarding living Buddhas. At the same time, local Confucian scholars advocated orthodox ritual in the name of doing away with improper ritual practice. In response, nearby native officials began cautiously handling political issues, and sought to legitimize the foundations for their status by conducting rituals in the classical Confucian tradition. The author examines the history of Lijiang 麗江 and Menghua 蒙化 Prefectures in Yunnan 雲南 and discusses how their native officials used the statuses of ancient nobles as they sought to establish Confucian rituals and temples corresponding to their status within the Ming bureaucracy. Several strategies are identified, including (a) building Buddhist temples, ancestral halls, and official shrines; (b) transforming mythical figures into protective deities by creating mountain and river rituals that conformed to ritual orthodoxy; and (c) establishing official genealogies and using textual methods to incorporate clan myths and legendary lineages into orthodox historical narratives, thereby strengthening the superiority of border native official lineages. By analyzing a series of actions of native officials in this process, the author explores the cultural strategies adopted by native officials to safeguard their prestige and local interests.

Dendroid multicellular thallophytes preserved in a Neoproterozoic black phosphorite in southern China

Du, W., Wang, X.L., Komiya, T., Zhao, R. & Wang, Y., April 2016. Dendroid multicellular thallophytes preserved in a Neoproterozoic black phosphorite in southern China. Alcheringa 40, xxx–xxx. ISSN 0311-5518.

A new form of dendroid multicellular thallophyte is documented in the Ediacaran Doushantuo phosphorite at Weng’an, Guizhou Province, southern China. The dendroid thallophytes have variable forms, possibly owing to heteromorphic variation. Many lateral branches extend from the upper portions of the main axes; the lateral branches bear terminal vegetative vesicles, reproductive vesicles, monosporangium-like discoidal vesicles and urn-shaped pseudoparenchymatous structures. The vegetative vesicles give rise to clavate pseudoparenchymatous structures, characterized by differentiation of the thallus medulla/cortex, which might represent an early stage of thallus development. An oogamous conceptacle arising from one carpogonial vesicle forms a highly specialized goblet-shaped conceptacle. The discovery of the new dendroid multicellular thallophytes provides not only the first fossil-based evidence of the morphological complexity and tissue differentiation in the Precambrian organisms but also insights into the life cycle of the Precambrian red algae.
