刘魁立先生访谈录

施爱东:做民间文化研究,许多人都把自己弄得很"田野",但我注意到您却非常注重仪表和礼节。只要是开会或上课,您总是西装革履地出现在公共场合,这样严谨地生活累不累?您参加我的博士后出站报告会的那一天,因为来不及回家换衣服,居然临时跑到商店买了一件正式的衣服换上了,那件事给我的印象非常深刻。     

宋代羁縻州"虚像"及其制度问题

宋代承袭唐代的羁縻州制度,但发生了许多变化。部分"羁縻州"入宋以来就本不存在,部分"羁縻州"在北宋两次"开边"之后也不复存在,史籍辗转相承,不一定可靠,是一种扩大了的"虚像"。若用宋人赵升所言"受本朝官封,而时有进贡者,本朝悉为羁縻州"的标准来衡量,宋代的羁縻州制度是残缺不全的。     

邓小平对恢复高考的特殊贡献

恢复高考是教育战线拨乱反正的一个重要突破,是中国高等教育发展史上的一个里程碑,对国家、社会和个人的发展都产生了深远的影响。在恢复高考这一决策过程中邓小平起了关键作用。他吸取了"文化大革命"时期高等教育的教训,号召要完整准确地理解毛泽东思想的科学体系,领导指导思想和教育战线上的拨乱反正,为恢复高考扫清了思想障碍;推动党和政府做出恢复高考的战略决策,实现了中国高等教育史上的一次重要转折;领导整顿教学秩序,为创造良好的高等教育环境做出了重要贡献。     

Reconstructing subsistence at the Yingpanshan and Gaoshan sites in Sichuan province,China: Insights from isotope analysis on bone samples and charred crop remains

During the Neolithic period, the Chengdu Plain was a key region where two important crops, rice and millet, were cultivated together. Millet was probably introduced from north-western China c.3500–3300 cal. bce , and rice came from the Middle Yangtze River c.2600 cal. bce . In this study, human and faunal remains, as well as charred crop grains, were collected from the Yingpanshan (3300–2600 cal. bce ) and Gaoshan (2500–2000 cal. bce ) sites where the dominant crop was millet and rice, respectively. Carbon and nitrogen isotope analyses were conducted on human bones and the ecofact samples in order to reconstruct the subsistence at the sites. The results indicate that the diets of two individuals recovered from the Yingpanshan site consisted of both C₃- and C₄-based foods, predominantly the former. By contrast, Yingpanshan pigs consumed a large quantity of C₄ fodder. This result, combined with the ecofact evidence, suggests that millet was the main crop at the Yingpanshan site. It also highlights the fact that the two Yingpanshan individuals might be non-locals and/or belonged to later periods. On the other hand, the diet of the Gaoshan community was dominated by C₃-based foods. When considering the archaeobotanical evidence at Baodun, a site contemporaneous with and near to the Gaoshan site, it can be stated that rice was an important food resource for the Gaoshan community. This study also suggests how crops were managed at the two sites. The Yingpanshan people might have used manure for growing millet. Both manuring and irrigation might have also been practised by Gaoshan's rice farmers. However, more studies are required to understand the extent of manuring and irrigation in their agricultural economies.

抗战前的西北交通建设

一、抗战前西北的战略地位与西北交通建设的提出抗战前的西北指陕西、甘肃、宁夏、绥远、青海、新疆六省,面积约占全国国土面积的３２％,人口约占全国人口的６％,是一个地广人稀的地区。西北地区蕴藏了发展现代工业所需的绝大部分矿产资源。西北地区的矿产以新疆、青海为最多,陕西的石油,甘肃、新疆的金、银,宁夏的盐,绥远的石炭及铁等,都极其丰富。据统计,西北六省的主要矿产年产值可达１１００多万元~①,但由于交通不便,大部分未能开发。西北同时也是国内的畜牧业中心,所产以牛、羊、马、骆驼、骡、驴、猪为大宗。西北地广人…     

论通史

在中国 ,“通史”是一个常用且易解的词。中国学者写的关于中国史、世界史的书常题名为“中国通史”、“世界通史”。而英国人写关于世界史或英国史的书就叫“世界史”或“英国史” ,其中并无一个“通”字。西方语言里有好几个看来与“通史”相近的词 ,但其真实含义并非“通史”。西方的普世史传统来自古希腊 ,据柯林武德分析 ,这种传统与“实质主义”思想有关。中国的通史传统来自先秦诸子的富有历史倾向的思想 ,这种思想恰好是反实质主义的。中国的“通史”精神就在于通古今之变     

Microscopic study of Chinese bronze casting moulds from the Eastern Zhou period

Piece mould casting technology, as a hall mark of the central plains of China during the Bronze Age, has attracted scholars' interest globally. Bronze ritual vessels found in this area were produced in large quantities and generally cast with the moulds composed of three or more sections. This enormous industry certainly required workers to have had professional knowledge to ensure the success of every single cast. Mould making technology was one of its most important parts. This research looks into the microstructure of bronze casting moulds of the Eastern Zhou period, which was a rarely studied topic in previous research. Through comparison with local pottery, it is shown that casting moulds in this period were produced with quite specialized sand-rich material, and clay was only a minor component. It is then discussed how this unique material can be beneficial to the bronze casting process and how this technology was integrated as a crucial part of the Chinese bronze casting system. These analyses might be able to portray mould makers in the ancient bronze foundries as a group of specialized people with their own traditions and professional knowledge.

从“民俗”到“语境中的民俗”——中国民俗学研究的范式转换

20世纪90年代中后期以来,中国民俗学学者开始从单纯的民俗事象研究,转向在语境中研究民俗,强调田野调查,强调在田野中观察民俗生活、民俗表演的情境、民俗表演的人际互动、民俗表演与社会生活、社会关系、文化传统之间的复杂关联等等,呈现出民族志式的整体研究取向,时空、人、社会、表演、变迁、日常生活等系列关键词,表明在语境中研究民俗的学者具有共同的问题、方法以及学术取向,初步具备学术范式的意义。
