Microstructural and Componential Characterization of the Plating Technology on Chinese Han Dynasty Bronze Fragments

The bronze wares of the Han Dynasty excavated in Chongqing are decorated with plating patterns, maintaining an exquisite lustre right up to modern times after the covering patina is cleared away. In this paper, a plated fragment of the Han Dynasty from the Wushan County Museum was characterized by combining optical microscopy (OM), scanning electron microscopy with X‐ray energy‐dispersive spectrometry (SEM–EDS), X‐ray fluorescence analysis (XRF), X‐ray diffraction (XRD) and X‐ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). The results showed that the bronze fragment was gilded with a ~ 3 μm thick gilded layer and a ~ 20 μm thick silvered layer. The high concentration of Hg and Hg‐rich intermetallic compounds confirmed the existence of mercury gilding/silvering technology, for example, Au₉Hg in the gilded layer and Ag₁₃Hg₇ in the silvered layer. An ordered stripe structure was observed in the gilded surface, corresponding to the formation of rod‐like, intermetallic Au–Hg compounds. Specifically, a high concentration of Au was detected in the silvered layer. The exploration of gilded/silvered bronze casts light on this ancient technology and the benefit of identifying, protecting and reproducing it.     

Multi‐Scalar Practices of the Korean State in Global Climate Politics: The Case of the Global Green Growth Institute

The paper examines the significance of state territoriality and the related multi‐scalar practices of the state in the light of the symptoms of post‐politics exemplified in global environmental governance. The focus rests on the South Korean government's Green Growth (GG) strategy and the efforts to export this strategy as a role model to emerging economies worldwide through the establishment of the Global Green Growth Institute. We begin with the question why the Korean government is going global with a political program that is heavily disputed at home. We then study the practices by which the state manages to maintain its territoriality under the conditions of global climate change. Lastly, we discuss how multi‐scalar practices of environmental governance in the GG strategy are applied by state and non‐state actors both in Korea and abroad.     

"真心观":晚明高僧憨山德清的文艺观

"真心"既是憨山德清佛学思想的根本主张,也是其文艺理念上的自觉追求.从文学创作上重"真心流溢",到艺术理论中强调"真心"妙悟,都是以"一心"为理论本源的,其文艺思想实际可以"真心观"来概括和表述.同时,憨山德清追求诗、文、书、画中的"真心"流溢,承续了唐宋以来心性与艺术相沟通的美学思想,体现了大乘佛教"真心"思想对中国古代哲学、文艺的深刻影响,其文艺主张值得关注.     

世界文化遗产数字化保护与建设初探——以西藏罗布林卡古建筑为例

随着计算机及相关技术的迅猛发展,以数字近景摄影测量、三维激光扫描测量、虚拟现实等技术为基础的数字化保护与复原开始在古建筑保护中扮演重要的角色。但由于经费短缺,人员匮乏,制约了文化遗产数字化保护与利用的发展。为了更好地保护和利用好罗布林卡,应提高认识数字化保护建设,增强危机感。建立完整的罗布林卡古建筑数字化保护与展示技术,形成一套集建筑表征、内部结构、周围环境影响因素于一体的档案系统,利用数字平台打造综合性的罗布林卡文化遗产展示与推广平台。     

關於柔然自號“皇芮”並宣稱“光復中華”——兼論十六國時期北方各族豪酋“俱僭大號,各建正朔”的潮流

柔然在漠北草原建正朔,稱"皇芮",基本可視之爲是中原傳統模式的封建王朝。柔然並聲稱將"恢復中華",這在古代立國於蒙古高原漠北的遊牧政權中,絕無僅有。這是十六國時期中國傳統封建文化和政治理念,逐步爲黃河流域諸少數民族廣泛接受的潮流中出現的特例。中國歷史上的南北朝,似乎應目之爲皇宋、皇魏和皇芮,三個以漢文化爲靈魂的封建王朝南北一字形並列的局面。     

Diagenesis and elemental geochemistry under varying reservoir oil saturation in the Junggar Basin of NW China: implication for differentiating hydrocarbon‐bearing horizons

In this paper, we attempt to differentiate hydrocarbon‐bearing reservoir horizons of the Junggar Basin of NW China based on the characteristics of diagenesis and associated elemental geochemistry. Reservoirs at this site have varying levels of oil saturation that correlate with the degree of dissolution in minerals (e.g., calcite and feldspar). Four different horizons with varying diagenetic mineral assemblages were observed, including (i) kaolinite‐rich, oil‐dominated horizons, (ii) kaolinite–pyrite–hematite‐rich, oil–water‐dominated horizons, (iii) siderite–chlorite‐rich, water‐dominated horizons, and (iv) chlorite‐rich horizons with negligible hydrocarbon production. The mean MnO content of the representative diagenetic mineral (e.g., calcite) in each of the above horizons is >2.5, 2.0–2.5, 1.5–2.0, and <1.0 wt%, respectively. We propose that the above methodology can be used for the identification of reservoir hydrocarbon‐bearing horizons. We argue that the indicators presented here can be applied in oil exploration across the Junggar Basin.     

前掌大墓地性质辨析

本文在对过往认识辨析的基础上,通过对前掌大墓地年代的重新检视以及墓地性质的再分析,指出前掌大墓地并非学界一般认为的薛国遗存,而应是"史"国墓地,其很可能是商末弃商投周的殷遗"史"族在西周早期的封国。     

西方列强对外扩张和竞争中的埃及和埃及学

埃及学是由拿破仑军事远征和西方列强对外扩张催生的产物。它的建立和发展见证了埃及沦为殖民地的全过程。在英法等国收集文物、争夺考古发掘特权的过程中,诞生于殖民时期的埃及学经历了在欧洲列强文化中成长以及在夹缝中生存的不寻常历程,而西方学者语境下的埃及学所构建的古埃及历史与文化,使得现代埃及人处于两难的境地。     

书法正楷 市招圣手——唐驼其人其艺

唐驼是上个世纪30年代上海有名的写市招的高手。和他同时的还有天台山农刘介玉（1878—1932年）、马公愚（1890-1969年）。刘介玉学清道人李瑞清的魏碑,骨架峥嵘,结构比清道人还要夸张。马公愚的字则敦实厚道。三位写市招的高手,以唐驼最受欢迎。如今,上海那家以经营绸缎棉布闻名的老店“老介福”,店门口挂的金字招牌,还是唐驼当年写的那几个字,这是唐驼卖字生涯的处女作。     

凤凰博物馆的主题策划与展示方式
