China and the United States in Africa: Coming conflict or commercial coexistence?

China and the US are two key players in the recent round of ‘scrambling’ for Africa. They compete for control over oil and other strategic resources, for markets, and for political influence. Their competition has alarmed many. This study tests the alarmist interpretations by identifying what the US and China are actually doing and to how they perceive each other's activities. Their ambitions are often considered in isolation. When laid out side by side, the extent to which their activities in Africa may overlap or clash can be seen more clearly. China and the US are seeking different things at different places in the continent and are careful not to upset one another. Their activities do not support the dire prediction. The ‘scramble for Africa’ may irritate; it is unlikely to cause direct confrontations because competition remains by and large economic and economic competition in an integrated global economy creates networks of constraints that ameliorate potential confrontation.     

Modernization And Adjustment： Case Study Of Kham Village

When talking about Tibetans, people naturally think about Tibet （Tibet Autonomous Region, which will be referred to as TAR in the following text）, but seldom realize that the Tibetan region extends far past the borders of Tibet. Based on Tibetan historical and cui tural differences, the Tibetan region of China can be divided into three major sections： Kham （khams）, Amdo and Weizang（dbus-gtsang）. Nowadays, as a result of administrative divisions, the Tibetan region belongs to different administrative areas in five provinces. Weizang includes most of today＇s Tibet Autono- mous region. Kham and Amdo are both historical conceptions, Kham lying to the east of Weizang and Amdo to the northwest. Kham and Amdo are divided into different administrative areas. Kham includes today＇s Chamdo Autonomous Prefecture （TAR）, Ganzi Autonomous Prefecture and part of Aba Autonomous prefecture （Ganzi and Aba both belong to Sichuan Province）,

孙叔敖故里封地考述——兼论《楚相孙叔敖碑》的真伪与文本时代

孙叔敖作为楚庄王时期的令尹,王室世族显贵,不可能是期思县内的平民百姓,《荀子》等称其为期思之人,当与其先辈的封地食邑在期思一带有关。孙叔敖后人受封之寝丘,在淮河以北的今安徽省临泉县一带,早期文献有明确的记载。唐宋以来,许多文献不辨南北朝时期固始县的沿革变化和治所迁移,将古寝丘定于后来的固始县(即今河南固始县)境内,不足为信。传世《楚相孙叔敖碑》,内容存在明显的矛盾和混淆,并非东汉时期的原作,应是南北朝后期至隋唐期间的续刻或拟托,不能作为古寝丘在今河南固始县一带的论据。     

汉代非单棺墓葬的考古学意义观察——以中小型墓葬为观察对象

汉代的非单棺墓,即同穴多人葬,包括有亲缘关系的合葬墓和非亲缘关系的主仆同葬墓。本文所论非单棺墓,为有亲缘关系的合葬墓。这类墓葬的考古年代学类型有同时合葬和异时合葬两种形式。同时合葬因迁葬或同时丧亡而形成,异时合葬则由于先后丧亡因而先后入葬形成。异时而葬的合葬墓,墓主葬入的时间虽有绝对的先后,但因考古学研究方法的特性,对先后葬入的随葬品的考古年代学分期,会有同一时间段或不同时间段两种结论。对于非单棺墓葬的研究,我们首先要重视资料报道的准确件,其次要以对单棺墓葬的分析作为研究的前提,此外要注意辨析同一墓葬内和不同墓葬间不同器物群组之间的关系。

战国时期燕戈的类型学考察

考古类型学研究表明,战国燕戈由中原三晋戈派生而来,总的演变趋势表现为由"戈"经过渡形态的"鉘"、"鋸"或"鍨鉘",最后形成"鍨"和"鋸"的固定形制。但这一过程并不是单线发展的,不同时期它们会有交错重叠。     

辽代石刻概述

本文全面系统地记述了辽代石刻文字的发现与著录、种类与特点、学术价值及影响和研究现状。指出陈述先生的《辽文汇》和《全辽文》是最早全面搜集辽代石刻文字的著作,迄今为止已知辽代石刻文字约有320～330种左右,成为订正、补充《辽史》的重要第一手资料。它揭示了辽朝多次更换国号,补充了大量人物史实,推动了契丹文字研究。辽代的白话碑对于研究白话碑的历史具有重要意义。     

两汉用玉思想研究之一——辟邪厌胜思想

笔者在对汉代玉器进行综合考察时,发现在丧葬、佩饰、日用及陈设用玉中,有许多玉器无论造型或纹饰都有一定的辟邪厌胜之意。本文通过对这类玉器的研究,试图从玉器角度分析看待当时社会流行的辟邪厌胜思想,辟邪厌胜意义也是汉代用玉思想中的一个重要方面。     

评蒋介石研究

蒋介石是民国政治舞台上的一个关键人物,是中国国民党历史上的中心人物。中国大陆对蒋介石的研究缘起于20世纪60年代,自80年代以来,拓宽了研究领域,在多方面取得了令人欣慰的成果。同时,由于多种原因,在蒋介石研究领域里也出现了一些偏差与不足。
