传统医学中的医学地理思想研究

祖国医学中含有丰富的医学地理思想。在\"人与天地相应\"的哲学观念指导下,传统医学认为:地理环境的差异,必然导致气候类型、水土性质、中药药性的差异;地理环境不同,人的生活习惯、体质特点和地方性疾病也不一样;诊治疾病必须因地制宜。本文以现代医学和药物学为对照,阐明了中医的这种思想。

敬惜字纸的习俗及其文化意义

明刘宗周《人谱类记》有一则:“王曾之父生平见字纸遗弃,必拾而以香汤洗之,然后焚化。一夕梦至圣抚其背曰:‘汝何敬重吾字之勤也。恨汝老矣,无可成就,当遣曾参来生汝家。’未几生一男,即沂公也。三元及第,为宋名相。”王曾的父亲“见字纸遗弃,必拾而以香汤洗之,然后焚化”的行为,叫做“敬惜字纸”。宋代三元状元、状元宰相王曾的故事在历史上广为流传,成为家喻户晓的敬惜字纸的典范。

试论香港的合约考古

香港社会经济的发展步伐急速,古物古迹条例实施30年来未作关键的修订.殖民地时期香港没有实施英国的考古规划指引,1997年香港回归祖国,内地实行的中国文物保护法又不适用于特别行政区.1998年香港实施环境影响评估条例,导致合约考古项目大量出现,对本地文物保护工作提供重要的资料基础,可是本地的考古从业人员太少,没有组成专业团体和制定专业的操守指引,行业的长远发展存在不少让人忧心的问题.
