Liang, J., Shih, C. &; Ren, D., October 2017. New Jurassic predatory cockroaches (Blattaria: Raphidiomimidae) from Daohugou, China and Karatau, Kazakhstan. Alcheringa 42, 101–109. ISSN 0311-5518.

Two new species and a new combination in a new genus of predatory cockroaches, Falcatusiblatta gracilis and F. qiandaohua from the Middle Jurassic Jiulongshan Formation of Daohugou, China and F. karatavica (Vishniakova) comb. nov. from the Upper Jurassic Karabastau Formation of Karatau, Kazakhstan are described within Raphidiomimidae. The new taxa are distinguished by the presence of a very long ovipositor (plesiomorphy) and elongate cerci with heteronomous articles and forewing markings with irregular patch-like shapes of light and dark patterns (autapomorphies).

Latinos and Environmental Justice: Examining the Link between Degenerative Policy,Political Representation,and Environmental Policy Implementation

The theory of social construction and policy design is insightful for exploring the circumstances in which the allocation of policy benefits and burdens is attributed to the feed‐forward effect of degenerative policy that institutionalizes bias and reinforces the prevailing categorization and embedded social meaning regarding target populations. However, this theoretical framework has not been broadly adopted to analyze the environment‐related phenomena. With a nationwide, block‐group‐level sample, this study examines the extent to which degenerative policies pertaining to immigrants influence state agencies' environmental regulatory outputs for predominantly Latino communities. Results show that in the states with moderately to most restrictive immigrant policy and high levels of Latino representation in legislatures, the rigorousness of government agencies' compliance monitoring activities decreases for Latino neighborhoods of environmental justice concern, as states' policy stance toward immigrants becomes more unfavorable. More Latino elected officials do not bolster policy implementation efforts for the vulnerable communities or offset the backlash effect of immigrant policy.     

明初青花料“苏麻离青”与“苏浡泥青”及相关称谓的考察

中国陶瓷发展史上最突出的一项成就,即是青花的出现。本文探讨元明所用的青花料,先找出历代有关青花料的文献记载,以代表明初青料此二词"苏麻离青"、"苏勃泥青"来探索,然后对比与科技考古研究结果。通过考察得知,明初"苏麻离青"和"苏勃泥青",这两个称谓不是同一词的异译,而是同时代不同的南洋古国作为两个词及代表青花料,也反映了郑和开辟远航时代的历史,标志着"先后七奉使,所历占城、爪哇、真腊、旧港……凡三十余国"历史情况。     

中华书局点校本《明史·诸王世表》正误

中华书局点校本《明史》为诸本明史中最佳版本,然而由于《明史》卷帙浩繁,点校本中仍有一些错讹。其中的《诸王世表》是研究明代藩王的基础文献之一,有必要对其再做校订,以求信实。本文使用多种明史版本及稿本进行校勘,对于记载不同处又分别用《明实录》、王世贞《弇山堂别集》等重要明代史籍查证。通过校订,发现其中可加正误及缺失可补漏者49则,其中4则内各含2条错讹之处。     

量化数据库与历史研究

历史学在今日仍被视为传统学科之一,但非历史学者借助大规模历史量化数据库进行自然和社会科学研究并取得重要成果的现象却有不断增长之势。不同于传统计量史学和以经济学为代表的社会科学学科所注重的"解释型学术",量化数据库推动的是"求是型学术",即通过统计分析从大规模系统数据中挖掘新事实、产生新认识。中国历史中长期存在规模宏大的户籍登记、土地分配和科考记录等系统材料以及海量文字记录,很多已得到收集和整理,有利于构建大规模数据库并开展定量研究。这种新的研究范式不仅有助于历史学科自身发展,更能够促进跨学科、跨国界的学术交流与融合,并为全面深入认识中国社会历史特征、平衡东西方学术发展作出贡献。

"孔子作《春秋》"说溯源——先秦两汉时期的"春秋"谱系

It is often said that “Confucius composed the Chunqiu 春秋 (The Spring and Autumn Annals) to convey the way of the king.” Scholars have long noticed that before the founding of and during the Han Dynasty the phrase that served as the title of the allegedly Confucian work, “Chunqiu,” was also often used to designate history in general. In what intellectual and textual contexts did the term evolve from something general into a specific concept associated with Confucius? What works or ideas did pre-Han and Han scholars have in mind when discussing Confucius’s Chunqiu and the broader “Chunqiu” canon? Exploring these questions, the study that follows begins by systematically documenting the occurrences of this term in pre-Han and Han texts. It demonstrates that while Mencius was the first person to associate Confucius’s teachings with the Chunqiu, his statement was a solitary and surprising voice in the pre-Han era. Not until the Western Han Dynasty was Confucius widely heralded as the creator of the Chunqiu. But few scholars are aware that Western Han scholars never strictly distinguished the laconic Chunqiu from the detailed historical knowledge preserved in the Gongyang 公羊, Guliang 谷梁, and Zuo 左 commentaries. Furthermore, as the Chunqiu gained canonical status, the phrase still served as a generic term, referring to various historical narratives. Zhang Xuecheng 章学诚 is famous for claiming that “The Six Classics are all history,” and I shall show that in the minds of the people of the Han Dynasty, all historical works were classics.
