泰山民间的"四仙"信仰

泰山周边民众在信奉佛教、道教大仙大神的同时,对狐、黄、猬、柳四仙信奉甚笃。这些动物在百姓的心目中都具有超自然的神力,能与神鬼相通,能给百姓禳祸降福,生财免灾。这种敬奉和信仰,起于汉唐,明清以降,尤多繁盛,直至民国年问,风俗仍浓。     

20世纪90年代以来中国近代史上的激进与保守研究述评

20世纪90年代以来,中国学界的研究取向发生的重大转变之一,即是由80年代以“化热”为特征的激进主义转向以“国学热”为特征的保守主义。这一研究取向在历史研究领域直接引发了对中国近代史上激进主义的反思与批判,以及对这一时期保守主义的梳理与评价,并出现了一种强烈的反激进而扬保守的思想倾向。系统梳理90年代以来中国近代思想史研究中的这一现象,以及由此所引发的争议,不仅有助于我们正确理解中国近代史上的保守与激进,而且对于正确处理今天化建设中的保守与激进的关系,也不无裨益。     

二十世纪以来清代黄河史研究述评

邹逸麟曾经指出:"要了解中华民族的历史,就必须首先了解黄河流域的历史,而要了解黄河流域的历史,自然也就离不开黄河的历史".     

New pieces: the acquisition and distribution of volcanic glass sources in northeast China during the Holocene

Little is known about the diversity of volcanic glass sources used in prehistoric northeast China. Although preliminary research established the presence of a number of sources in archaeological sites from this area, the exact location of these sources was not known (Jia et al., 2010). A recent geoarchaeological survey of three source areas and new data derived from portable X-ray Fluorescence elemental analysis (pXRF) has revealed not only the location and use of two new geological sources in northeast China but also extended our understanding of the geologic context of volcanic glass from Tianchi/Paektusan Volcano, the major geological source of volcanic glass in northeast China. Furthermore, understanding the geological history of these new sources clarifies why they were only found in archaeological sites dated to the Holocene.     

南海"断续线"的法律地位

文章对南海“断续线”的法律地位进行了探讨。认为存在于南海的九条以国界线方法标绘的“断续线”,确认了中国对线内岛礁滩沙的主权和对周边海域的海洋权益。“断续线”与领海外部界限、专属经济区和大陆架范围主张线、菲律宾“条约线”等有着本质的区别。南海“断续线”的法律地位使其在维护中国在南海的海洋权益方面有着特殊的作用和意义。     

唐长安银台门考

经对唐代相关史料之爬梳,可证唐长安城内存在两处银台门。大明宫的右银台门可简称银台门,且银台门多代指右银台门;唐时西内别有银台门,推测当是对承天门的一种便宜称呼。唐长安城内这两处银台门,当依据相关文献所提供的空间位置提示,予以审慎区别之。     

从传统农庄到现代城市社区转型的曲折历程——“无保调查”中保定市薛刘营村城市化进程考察

河北省保定市薛刘营村是中国农村经济史上持续80余年著名的"无保调查"中具有特殊意义的研究对象。这个紧邻城市的传统农庄,在新中国成立初期被纳入城市郊区,20世纪90年代末纳入市区,而今即将转变为一个新型城市社区。该村城市化经历了从顺畅起步而后受阻,到快速发展后遭遇产业结构、就业结构和居民身份转换与市民待遇转换长期不同步的"非均衡"发展状况,再到突破旧村拆迁瓶颈,实现建立现代城市社区的曲折历程。这一过程提供了以村为单位研究中国北方城郊传统农庄城市化的完整标本,也为推进北方城郊农村城市化发展提供了宝贵经验。     

金熙宗以来地方行政路考论

"行政路"是指金朝的地方最高行政区划建置。金熙宗时期开始调整地方制度,至海陵天德二年(1150)全面实行兵马都总管府路制。其中诸京路、诸总管府路、中都路的路官构成略有不同。《金史.百官志》之外,"会宁牧"、路治府的"知某府(事)"、"治中"等官职也属于路官的范畴。诸路官员的民族构成复杂,具有鲜明的民族与地域特色。     

Moving sources: A preliminary study of volcanic glass artifact distributions in northeast China using PXRF

Recent studies have highlighted the long-distance transport of obsidian from the Paektusan (Tianchi or Baitoushan in Chinese) volcano on the border between China and North Korea to eastern Russia and Korea, but little is known about the role of the local population in the production and movement or exchange of this important raw material. This paper addresses this data lacuna by presenting sourcing results of 440 artifacts from 18 Late Paleolithic sites located in northeast China. A portable XRF enabled rapid non-destructive characterization of samples. The results show that although Paektusan obsidian was widely transported throughout northeast Asia, material from at least three other sources was also used. In particular, we highlight the significance of basaltic glass artifacts with the same geochemistry as sources found in the Primorye region of Far East Russia in sites from northeast China. This result indicates a two-way movement of volcanic glass artifacts between Primorye and the northeast of China rather than a unidirectional long-distance exchange system originating from Paektusan Volcano.     

乾嘉时期新疆的金矿开采——以内地人的活动为中心

清朝统一新疆后,采取积极移民新疆的政策,吸引了大量内地人前往新疆,促进了新疆的经济发展和矿产开发,金矿即为典型例子.但是,出于对地方安全的顾虑,清朝对于内地人在新疆的金矿开采活动的态度经历了一个从禁到开的发展变化过程.本文主要通过对中国第一历史档案馆藏满、汉档案及其他相关文献的解读,论述内地人对新疆金矿的开采和清朝对此之管理.
