丁宝桢与诤友薛福保的君子之交

本文追述了丁文诚公与诤友薛子季怀的君子之交,以及他们是如何相对＂于千里之外者,其用心庸得己乎＂这段史料。＂贤人进,则民生遂＂,正如黎庶昌所言：＂观文诚两次特荐,非获季怀之助,知季怀之深,而能若是乎？＂另从阎敬铭[1]的翘首企盼之情中,也可见一斑……     

中日实现经贸合作战略升级的区域环境

尽管中日两国关系内部的经贸合作关系与政治协作关系,在发展上长期处于不平衡、不协调的亚健康状态,但是中国从双边经贸合作的大局出发,一直在积极促进两国经贸关系与政治关系协调发展。这不仅是中国经济发展的内在需要,而且也是区域性外在作用的促进结果。值得一提的是,中日两国在亚太经济合作组织、东亚“10 3”合作机制、中日韩三国合作框架、中日俄三国利益关系的推进上,都有着广泛的合作基础与广阔的合作前景,从而在外部形成了中日两国经贸合作实现战略升级目标的区域促进环境,有利于双方在2008￣2010年间达到2 000亿美圆的经贸合作额度。     

基于全局主成分分析的我国省级行政区城市化水平综合评价

根据城市化的内涵,选取13个指标,以1995年、2000年和2005年3个年份全国31个省级行政区为评价对象,构成城市化综合评价立体时序数据表;采用全局主成分分析方法,对其城市化发展水平进行综合定量评价。共提取三个主成分,分别反映人口结构及城市景观变化、城镇居民收入及消费水平、城市基础设施建设方面的信息。分析结果表明,我国城市化发展质量和速度的区域差异明显;在分析期内,城市化发展的总体质量有所提高;城市内部主要指标之间的协调性较好。     

晚清双语词典(汉英、英汉)出版的繁盛及海内外流布

晚清时期,大量出版机构涉猎汉英、英汉双语词典出版,甚至将其作为重要的业务范畴和出版特色,数十年致力于此,出版了品种丰富、规模可观的各类双语词典,且再版重印次数多、发行量大,形成令人瞩目的繁盛出版局面.词典问世后,通过编纂出版者向词典赞助支持者的回馈,出版机构多渠道的市场销售及传教士编纂者的个人赠与等途径,在海内外得到极其广泛的传播.词典收藏情况调查显示,晚清汉英、英汉双语词典的流布遍及国内各地及海外多个国家,且收藏机构广泛、种类丰富、版本众多,充分彰显了这些出版物的价值与影响力.作为晚清重要的出版文化现象,汉英、英汉双语词典出版的繁盛及海内外广泛流布为晚清以降日渐兴盛的中外跨文化交往提供了一个极其生动的实证案例.     

Early use and production of iron in the northern Shaanxi: A perspective on iron objects excavated from the Yuejiazhuang cemetery site

Yuejiazhuang is a cemetery site of Qin people in the Northern Shaanxi, China, and it is dated to the mid-late Warring States Period. Ninety-two iron objects were excavated from the Yuejiazhuang cemetery site, which provide an opportunity to understand the use and production of iron in the Northern Shaanxi. The metallurgical and statistical study has revealed that bloomery iron, cast iron, and steel made from cast iron were adopted in the Northern Shaanxi during the mid-late Warring States Period. In the meanwhile, cast iron and steel made from cast iron became dominant in the Northern Shaanxi.     

Reconstruction of diets based on the Δ15N values of individual amino acids at three sites in Sichuan,China

This study analyzes the nitrogen isotope composition of individual amino acids in collagen extracted from human bone samples from the Gaoshan, Yingpanshan, and Xinyicun sites in Sichuan, where the isotope baseline is unavailable or incomparable with the isotopic data derived from human remains. It aims to understand the food compositions of the inhabitants at these sites, spanning the period from the late Neolithic to the middle Bronze Age, during which time agriculture and domestication of animals were introduced to the region and became increasingly important. The δ¹⁵N values of two amino acids, phenylalanine (δ¹⁵N_Phe) and glutamic acid (δ¹⁵N_Glu), indicate that the peoples on the Chengdu Plain mainly consumed terrestrial foods. The contribution of aquatic resources to their diet was limited. A possible explanation for the low dependence on aquatic foods is that the developed agriculture and domestication of animals offered sufficient foods. Such subsistence economies and dietary patterns were shaped in the early Baodun period (ca. 2,500–2000 BCE) at the latest and did not seem to change when transiting to the Bronze Age. This study also assesses the significance of these subsistence practices in supporting the social development of the Chengdu Plain.

昆明呈贡天子庙和呈贡石碑村出土铜铁器的科学分析

为了解中国古滇地区铜铁农具、兵器和工具的制作工艺,采用金相显微镜组织观察和扫描电子显微镜分析的方法,对昆明呈贡天子庙和呈贡石碑村出土的战国至西汉时代11件铜器和2件铁器样品进行分析。分析结果表明,铜器的材质有红铜和铜锡合金两种,相同的器物有较稳定的化学成分。铜器中农具、兵器和工具为铸造制作而成。2件铜柄铁刃剑的材质为亚共析钢,作为兵器,具有优良的性能。本研究成果对进一步研究古滇地区铜铁器具的工艺技术有一定的价值。     

China in Fiji: displacing traditional players?

A widely held perception in Oceania is that China has taken the opportunity of Western sanctions against Fiji's military-led regime to expand its influence in Fiji. Observers and media in the region were alarmed by the sudden increase of China's pledged aid to Fiji shortly after the 2006 military takeover. They are concerned that China has a well-calculated strategy of displacing traditional Western players in Fiji, most notably Australia and New Zealand. Such concern is not well founded. While China does have multiple interests, including strategic interests, in Fiji, there is no clear evidence to suggest that China aims to displace the traditional players there. China's growing influence in Fiji is part of China's global rise. Both Australia and New Zealand are committed to Fiji and the South Pacific as a whole. Given its substantial interests in Australia and New Zealand, it is not in China's interest to increase its influence in Fiji at the cost of its relations with these two traditional players.
