The Chemical Composition and Production Area of Early Western Zhou Proto‐Porcelain Unearthed from Yejiashan Cemetery,Suizhou, China

The bodies and glazes of 27 early Western Zhou proto‐porcelain samples from Yejiashan cemetery, Hubei Province, were analysed using LA‐ICP–AES, SEM, XRD, a thermal expansion instrument and other analytical methods. The results indicated that the bodies of all samples were characterized by high silicon and low aluminium, and were made with porcelain stone raw materials found in the south of China. The glazes are typical of high‐temperature calcium glazes of the CaO (MgO) – K₂O (Na₂O) – Al₂O₃ – SiO₂ series, with relatively high Mn and P content, which was probably caused by the addition of plant ashes. The physical properties and phase compositions of Yejiashan proto‐porcelain show that firing processes were still in the early stages of development in ancient China. Multivariate statistical analyses indicated that Yejiashan proto‐porcelain might have come from the Deqing area, in Zhejiang Province. These results provide new archaeological evidence for research on issues related to material flow in the Western Zhou dynasty.     

桂平博物馆馆藏东汉双耳铜甑铸造工艺及其保护修复研究

广西桂平博物馆藏东汉铜甑对于研究广西地区青铜器冶铸技术的发展具有重要的研究价值。但器物长期保存于潮湿环境中,矿化严重、保存状况较差,亟须保护修复。本研究应用X射线影像观察、金相显微镜、扫描电镜及能谱分析、模拟实验验证等方法研究了器物的铸造工艺、合金成分以及锈蚀产物成分。结果表明该器物为整体铸造成形,器物铸造时使用了轮制技术、刮板造型工艺以及铸后刻纹的工艺,箅部范块制作过程是用器身模翻制器身范后脱模,将器身模的圈足部分切下,然后在圈足泥模上刻出箅部型腔。在此基础上,遵循最低限度干预原则,力求将传统的文物修复手段与现代修复理念相结合,通过除锈、修补等保护修复措施后,不但提高了器物的整体稳定性,而且达到了可以展陈,发掘文物潜在价值的要求。     

日本侵华战争时期女明星的形象建构——以李香兰为例

日本侵华战争时期,中日两国人民除了蒙受战争苦难之外,还在不同程度上遇到国族与文化认同等问题,女明星也不例外。身为日本人的李香兰,在舞台上往往是以中国人的形象或主体身份示人,并闪现星光。然而,日本侵华当局的幕后掌控,民族意识的萌生,性别的纠缠,使她在战争的特殊环境里处于矛盾、挣扎之中,艰难地做出国族的选择和认同。在多种力量的交互作用下,最终完成了第二次中日战争时期女明星李香兰的形象建构,其中也包含着李香兰个人的主观想象和抉择。不容否认的是,战争时期建构的女明星形象在一定程度上影响着李香兰战后的行为。然而随着局势的不断变化,和平与发展成为国际潮流,李香兰在社会大舞台上扮演了新的角色,并树立起新的社会形象,赋予日本侵华战争时期女明星以新的内涵。     

Former Nazi Officers in the Near East: German Military Advisors in Syria, 1949–56

In the early days of the Cold War, Syria was the first Arab country where former officers of the German Wehrmacht played an active role as military advisors. This was due, in part, to the fact that Germany was not burdened by its past political relations to Arab states for, in contrast to the Western powers, Germany which had never had territorial ambitions in the Near East. Even in the very early stages, German advisors contributed considerably to the development of Syria's armed forces and military intelligence. The advisory activities of German experts became even more intensive as a result of increased trade between the two countries; however, in 1956 the political situation in Syria worsened and the country began moving towards the Eastern Bloc putting an end to the non-official activities of German military advisors.     

五代北宋高邮秦氏家族世系研究——以江苏扬州发现秦咏夫妇墓志为线索

扬州发现两合石质墓志,其主人北宋秦咏及其夫人朱氏,应系北宋著名文士秦观之祖父母。秦氏祖茔江都西山,即今西湖镇蜀岗村吕庄组七仙墩一带。通过对历史文献资料的梳理,可以对秦氏家族世系展开进一步考察,纠正秦氏家族部分成员在古代文献流传过程中出现的错误名讳记载,部分成员应因避讳等原因存在更改名字的现象;还可厘清包括秦咏及孙男秦观在内的秦氏十代家族世系,以及主要成员的生平事迹。     

凝视或遗忘:广东省博物馆临时展览观众行为研究

消费时代的博物馆将展览视为吸引观众的主要手段,观众观展行为研究成为展览效果评估的重要手段。以广东省博物馆临时展览"相看两不厌——馆藏明清瓷画与绘画展览"为例,对观众观展行为的研究采用了参与式观察法来收集观众行动信息,并借助随机抽样的问卷调查收集观众对展览各要素的评价。质性和定量相结合的研究结果表明,观众对展览的印象和评价,取决于他们在展品前停留的时间、吸引他们的展品数量以及他们的观展行为。相较于内容和展览逻辑,观众对展览的满意度,很大程度上由视觉效果决定,然而,对观众吸引力高的展品并不是观众"凝视"持续力强的展品,不同类型观众的不同视觉取向意味着不同的满意度。     

论刘向对《战国策》的部属归类

刘向作为《战国策》的编定者,对该书总体性质的形成有着深刻的影响。以往质疑刘向部属归类的讨论,未能在此前提之下进行讨论。由此,论者往往过度聚焦于书中具体篇章所体现的子书色彩,却游离了最应着力审视的全书总体性质。事实上,通过审视该书编辑体例、编辑目的,以及刘向对其在部属归类上的斟酌取舍,不难得出《战国策》总体性质是史料汇编类文献的结论。概言之,刘向对《战国策》的部属归类是合理的。这也展现了一代文献学大家卓越的专业眼光。     

成功刻画特定历史环境的人物形象——《史记》列传历史编纂成就析论

司马迁记述人物的成就有诸多方面,其中"成功地刻画特定历史环境的人物形象"尤其值得我们深入总结和大力阐释。《伍子胥列传》、《魏公子列传》、《袁盎晁错列传》等名篇,不仅展现了这些人物生动感人的性格、神采,而且深刻地反映出他们所处的不同时代的特点,因而为我们提供了撰写历史人物传记的成功典范。我们要认真借鉴《史记》的成功经验,努力实现对传统史学精华的创造性转化和创新性发展,不断探求在当今历史书写中如何做到既能生动地刻画人物的活动、性格、气质,又能凸显其所处的时代特点,从而有效地克服历史著作平淡乏味的缺陷,使我们撰写的史书更能受到大众的欢迎。     

Fluid mixing induced by hydrothermal activity in the ordovician carbonates in Tarim Basin,China

Permian hydrothermal activity in the Tarim Basin may have been responsible for the invasion of hot brines into Ordovician carbonate reservoirs. Studies have been undertaken to explain the origin and geochemical characteristics of the diagenetic fluid present during this hydrothermal event although there is no consensus on it. We present a genetic model resulting from the study of δ¹³C, δ¹⁸O, δ³⁴S, and ⁸⁷Sr/⁸⁶Sr isotope values and fluid inclusions (FIs) from fracture‐ and vug‐filling calcite, saddle dolomite, fluorite, barite, quartz, and anhydrite from Ordovician outcrops in northwest (NW) Tarim Basin and subsurface cores in Central Tarim Basin. The presence of hydrothermal fluid was confirmed by minerals with fluid inclusion homogenization temperatures being >10°C higher than the paleo‐formation burial temperatures both in the NW Tarim and in the Central Tarim areas. The mixing of hot (>200°C), high‐salinity (>24 wt% NaCl), ⁸⁷Sr‐rich (up to 0.7104) hydrothermal fluid with cool (60–100°C), low‐salinity (0 to 3.5 wt% NaCl), also ⁸⁷Sr‐rich (up to 0.7010) meteoric water in the Ordovician unit was supported by the salinity of fluid inclusions, and δ¹³C, δ¹⁸O, and ⁸⁷Sr/⁸⁶Sr isotopic values of the diagenetic minerals. Up‐migrated hydrothermal fluids from the deeper Cambrian strata may have contributed to the hot brine with high sulfate concentrations which promoted thermochemical sulfate reduction (TSR) in the Ordovician, resulting in the formation of ¹²C‐rich (δ¹³C as low as ?13.8‰) calcite and ³⁴S‐rich (δ³⁴S values from 21.4‰ to 29.7‰) H₂S, pyrite, and elemental sulfur. Hydrothermal fluid mixing with fresh water in Ordovician strata in Tarim Basin was facilitated by deep‐seated faults and up‐reaching faults due to the pervasive Permian magmatic activity. Collectively, fluid mixing, hydrothermal dolomitization, TSR, and faulting may have locally dissolved the host carbonates and increased the reservoir porosity and permeability, which has significant implications for hydrocarbon exploration.
