西周金文与献俘礼

献俘礼见于古代文献记述,但其具体程序已不为人所知,传世和近出的青铜器铭文为我们重新认识这种古代军礼提供了可能。根据《逸周书.世俘》的记述及小盂鼎等西周青铜器铭文的内容,先秦时期的献俘礼包括告俘、献俘于天、燎祭、献俘于周庙、审讯俘酋、告成、祖、饮至、封赏将领等诸项内容。     

西汉名臣汲黯卒年考

关于西汉武帝时名臣汲黯的卒年,现今一些重要的工具书大多认为是公元前112年,即汉武帝元鼎五年。也有少数认为是公元前122年,即汉武帝元狩元年。本文考证,上述二说不确,汲黯当卒于公元前109年,即汉武帝元封二年。     

中国钱币铸造工艺史上灿烂的一页——六朝叠铸式陶质钱范的演进与成效

叠铸式陶质钱范是在卧式散铸钱范的基础上发展起来的。现有资料表明 ,叠铸式陶质钱范最早出现在西汉早期 ,在汉半两盘形铜母范上可捕捉到早期叠铸陶范的信息。但叠铸范在西汉早期并不占主导地位 ,在新莽钱币铸造中叠铸范逐步得以普及 ,东汉五铢铸造中叠铸范已成为主流。 1 986年 1 2月在陕西耀县有汉五铢叠铸陶范出土① 。东汉以后 ,我国东南部自孙氏吴政权起 ,东晋、宋、齐、梁、陈相继更迭 ,国都均置建康 (今南京 ) ,由出土与发现的六朝钱范以及铸钱遗物显示 ,六朝凡官方铸钱大多采取叠铸工艺。六朝时期虽然政权数易 ,但是在对铸钱和制范…     

《四裔编年表》与晚清中西时间观念的交融

在江南制造局翻译馆译刊的少量历史译著中,1874年出版的《四裔编年表》被认为是晚清第一部专门介绍西方历史的年表体著作,熊月之也认为该书“用年表体例,以各国帝王、总统沿革为经,以各种种族、政教、争战之事为纬,叙事清楚,语言简洁,是人们了解世界历史的实用工具书”,在史学史上的地位理应得到高度评价。遗憾的是至今尚无专文就该书加以讨论,不仅如此,     

"郑亳说"立论前提辨析之再辨析

在殷墟发掘以前,王国维先生曾提出“二重证据法”（王国维：《古史新证》,清华研究院讲义,1925年述学社《国学月刊》;又清华大学出版社,1994年第一版）给中国史学开辟了一条新路。所谓“二重证据法”,就是把地下出土的古文字资料与古文献相结合,相互印证,相互说明,以解决学术上的疑难问题。殷墟发掘以后,此法仍然可以使用,只是扩大了范围,把地下的考古材料（包括古代文字在内）与古代文献相结合,以研究中国考古与中国古代历史。     

睡虎地秦简与先秦数学

The Qin laws kept on the bamboo slips unearthed from Tomb No. 11 of the Qin Dynasty at Shuihudi in Yunmeng County have great value for the study on the history of mathematics in Pre-Qin China. Many law texts recorded the severe requirements of the Qin State in the administration concerning accounting and statistics, the conversion rates between various types of foodstuffs and the proportional allotment of foodstuffs, as well as the plans and practices of engineering projets, etc. Comparative studies on the relationships between these severe Laws and the relevant methematical methords of Jiuzhang suanshu lead to such conclusions as: 1) the Qin laws were based upon the foundation of highly developed mathematics; 2) many mathematical methods of Jiuzhang suanshu were produced before the Qin Dynasty; 3) The influence of Legalists on mathematics mostly took place in the Pre-Qin Period or the Qin Dynasty. __________ Translated from Kaogu 考古 (Archaeology), 2005, (6): 57–65     

宋代历史考据学的兴起及其发展演变

宋代学术以理学为特色,与之相应,在史书的修纂中形成了义理史学一类,以孙甫《唐史论断》、范祖禹《唐鉴》、朱熹《资治通鉴纲目》等书为代表,主张在史学中以微言大义为旨,不太重视历史事实的考据.     

近年来我国心理史学发展趋势

近些年我国心理史学处于平稳发展的趋势,虽然没有出现什么“热潮”,但研究历史上的社会心态或历史人物心理特征已经成为史学工作者科研选题的一个新的方向,为很多历史问题的研究提供一个新的视角、新的途径。     

Phytoliths and microcharcoal at Jinluojia archeological site in middle reaches of Yangtze River indicative of paleoclimate and human activity during the last 3000 years

A variety of phytoliths, together with prolific microcharcoal particles, sponge spicules and diatoms were extracted and identified in four cultural layers from an archeological site at Jinluojia, Macheng, Hubei Province, Central China. The warmth (Iw) and aridity (Iph) indices calculated from grass phytoliths reveal warm and wet periods during the West Zhou, early East Zhou, Tang and Song Dynasties whilst cool and dry periods occurred during the late East Zhou, Ming and Qing Dynasties. The paleoclimate conditions reconstructed on the basis of grass phytoliths extracted from archeological sediments are in agreement with those from natural sediments in the Middle Yangtze region. In contrast, the woody phytoliths show a positive correlation with microcharcoal particles, suggesting an anthropogenic contribution to the woody phytoliths from the use of woody plants for fuel during cooking and heating. Two episodes of the enhanced abundance of woody phytoliths and microcharcoal particles were found to occur at East Zhou Dynasty and from Ming and Qing Dynasties to the Present, proposed to be a consequence of the population expansion and/or the frequent wars.     

两对高凤翰孪生作品的辨伪

笔者在查阅济南市博物馆藏高凤翰作品资料时,发现了两对孪生作品,几乎一模一样。在书画鉴定中最重要的方法就是比较,笔者就将这些孪生作品进行排列对比总结,从中发现高凤翰绘画的特点以及真伪作品的区别。现将这些孪生作品排列一下,为了叙述方便,将济南市博物馆的藏品简称＂济博本＂,将拍卖公司拍出的作品简称＂拍卖本＂。图1《素袜凌波图》题款：＂素袜凌波之图＂。壬子写,丁巳补题。南阜。荷花荷叶五尺长,
