The Concept of Taboo in Raga,Vanuatu: Semantic Mapping and Etymology

This article discusses the two terms that convey the concept of taboo in Raga, the language of north‐central Vanuatu originally spoken in north Pentecost, and provides linguistic evidence expanding on the information published previously by the anthropologists Masanori Yoshioka and John Patrick Taylor. Based on the corpus collected in north Pentecost in the period 2015–2017, and on older ethnographic and religious written material, a semantic map is proposed for the two taboo‐related Raga terms: sabuga and gogona. Reviewing the terms that designate the concept of ‘taboo’ in the neighbouring languages, the study also explores the possibility of borrowing and semantic interference from other languages, and proposes that sabuga is a reflex of Proto Oceanic *tabu, albeit an irregular reflex, and gogona a reflex of Proto North and Central Vanuatu*kona ‘sacred, taboo’.     

传统书画装裱修复技艺多元价值及其体系构建探究——基于"苏裱"传承人访谈的思考

价值多元化是中国传统书画装裱修复技艺重要的特征之一.当前书画装裱修复从业者对技艺价值认知程度不均,价值认知现状不能与多元价值共存的现实相匹配.基于非物质文化遗产保护与传承的视角,书画装裱修复从业者应从理念上重新树立多元价值观、方法上加强现代科技手段的有效介入、理念上重视传承人整体情况的深入探求、行动上加快技艺科学化研究进程等几个方面来全面构建技艺多元价值体系.     

试论舟形灶

汉晋墓出土的舟形陶灶分布较广,以淮河及长江下游的江浙皖赣地区为中心,广泛见于北至鲁南,西到湘鄂西部,东南至海的广大区域.其延续时间较长,有些类型一直沿用到宋代.各种类型的舟形灶均有特定的分布区域,随着时代的推移,逐渐向外传播,其中最为典型的B型和C型舟形灶,南移趋势明显,这与历史上的人口南迁有较大关系;而具有岭南文化因素的D型灶则向附近的江西和福建扩散.江淮之间的苏皖地区出现了A型、B型和C型舟形灶的较早类型,不排除这里是舟形灶发源地的可能.     

从敬神恤民到敛财虐民——解说明代的新官到任

明初,朱元璋御制《到任须知》,为到任新官提供指南.随后,明廷又将新官到任、复任加以礼制化,包括城外斋戒、入城谒神、望阙谢恩、僚属参见、宴飨父老等环节,旨在敬神恤民.国家层面的礼仪下贯到地方社会后,遭遇世俗化的革易,诸如缩短斋期、铺设银器、聚众看戏等,并由于私人权力的腐蚀而变形,以至于国家礼制的规定沦为敛财虐民的工具.
