Human adaptation and socioeonomic change in northeast China: Results of the Fuxin Regional Survey

Northeastern China is one of the centers of early development of agriculture and sedentary life, as well as of the subsequent development of social complexity and distinct cultural attributes. While the outlines of this trajectory are clear, its important details are still elusive. Like all other regions of northern China, there is little data on the all-important transition from nomad hunter-gatherers to sedentary agriculturalists. The Fuxin Regional Survey was designed as the first step in accumulating new data and addressing the geographic and ecological contexts of these socioeconomic processes. Among the most remarkable results of this survey is the identification of early ceramics, which possibly predate the transition to agriculture. The systematic collection and analysis of stone tools was done in a way never before done in this region. Analysis of our findings, using GIS and other methods, sheds new light on the local trajectory of human adaptation in this area.     

Biomechanics of coaching maximal instep soccer kick for practitioners

Kicking in soccer has been the subject of scientific research for more than 40 years yet review articles summarizing the biomechanical fundamentals of kick optimization as a guide to coaching are scarcely to be found. The current review article aims to bridge the gap between scientific research into the maximal instep kick (including studies employing 3D motion capture and full-body biomechanical modelling) and the application of such research in coaching. It does so by supplying a scientifically founded, coaching-friendly article explaining identifiable characteristics and motor control sequencing that define this skill. Relevant biomechanical factors are identified in a way that should help coaches better develop training programmes and, at the same time, foster better understanding of the skill among athletes. Such information will contribute to both accelerated skill acquisition and, by concomitant gains in skill efficiency, the development of programmes that minimize risk of injury to athletes during training.     

魏晋南北朝玉佩研究

魏晋南北朝玉佩自发现以来,学术界对其性质和组构样式的判断皆不甚明了。近年南京仙鹤观东晋玉佩的完整发现,为研究其结构与性质提供了详实的研究资料。本文以此为基础,结合国内各地玉佩的发现情况及历史文献资料,分析魏晋南北朝时期玉佩发展、演变的历史原因,并试对玉佩构件进行了初步的复原研究。     

《唐大和上东征传》鉴真携带品辨正

真人元开(Omino Mihune)撰于779年的鉴真传记<唐大和上东征传>,有多种写本、刊本传世.1762年以后的刊本,流传颇广,其对文本的字词误读甚至影响到今天.本稿依据现存日本的古写本及多种刊本,对鉴真第二次东渡携带品的误读进行辨析、纠谬,指出在研究域外汉籍中写本的重要性.     

述论佛教戒律的玄化与道化

佛、道两家之间的互相影响,论者已多.但仅就佛教戒律的玄化和道化一个侧面来系统叙述,似未多见,故以此文试说之.     

关于利用历史文献信息进行环境演变研究的几点看法

针对如何更好地利用我国丰富的历史文献记录,开展历史时期环境演变研究,本文提出四点看法:从地球系统科学与全球变化研究的前沿中寻找研究的主题,在诸多不确定中寻找确定性答案,构建历史文献信息共享的环境演变研究平台,培养文理兼备的复合型人才。     

全球化语境下的民族节日走向——以当代中国节日为例

21世纪是全球化加速的时代,信息技术与快速的交通方式将广袤的世界变成了一个共处的地球村落。原本天地悬隔、各自分离、独立自足的族群在世界经济一体化的过程中迅速成为声息相通的"邻里街坊"。原本各自独立成长过程中形成的历史文化经验,使族群拥有各自的文化传统,这些有着独立文化传统的族群在全球化过程中猝然相遇,彼此之间的冲突与不适不可避免,因此互相的磨合、适应需要一个较长的时间过程。

试论唐朝的“中国”与“天下”

唐代“中国”一词大体用于追述前代和议论当朝。唐代“中国”有地域、文化、民族及政权的含义,可以用来指代朝廷直接统治区域、中原为核心的地区或内地,是“天下”的核心或重要组成部分。唐朝“天下”一词有广义、狭义之分。狭义的“天下”指唐朝实际统治的范围即唐朝统一多民族的国家,这是唐朝“天下”的主要含义。此“天下”与“军国”、“邦国”基本同义,但各有侧重。“军国”最郑重,一般用于中央最高决策机构首脑的职掌范围;“邦国”更普通,主要用于官府和中央事务的层面;“天下”更广泛,一般用于中央和地方、官吏和百姓两方面事务的层面。广义的“天下”则指以“中国”为核心,以唐朝统一多民族国家(狭义“天下”)为政治实体,包容其他国家的世界体系和政治秩序。     

萧何收集整理图书文献之功探微

文献是伴随着文化的创造而产生的。汉代的图书收集与整理主要是由汉武帝倡导,刘向、刘歆父子集大成,但不能忽视开国元勋萧何的奠基之功。文章从保护与利用、收集与创建等方面揭示了萧何对文献学及整个中华文化史作出的贡献。
