千手观音试验区的彩绘修复研究

本文详细地调查了试验区域的法器和彩绘的病害,对彩绘的病害机理和绘制工艺进行了研究,确定了修复技术路线和修复工艺.此次修复研究的重点放在法器和彩绘的补色上,在补色过程中遵循了全彩的原则.针对法器彩绘残存不同的情况,本文采用三种不同的补色方案,并通过研究总结出法眼和背景云纹的补色规律.     

Further Thoughts on Imperial Absent-Mindedness

When my The Absent-Minded Imperialists was published in 20041 [1]. Oxford University Press added a by-line to the dust-jacket of The Absent-Minded Imperialists which read, in place of the formal sub-title, ‘What the British really thought about empire’. That was without my sanction. I would not have been so assertive. it stimulated – or provoked – a great deal of discussion. Among those most provoked were Antoinette Burton, who dismissed the book as not ‘worth arguing either with or about’,2 [2]. I understand that this review has attained a kind of celebrity for its virulence. and John MacKenzie: ‘some reviewers may be taken in by this, but I am not’.3 [3]. I tried to persuade OUP to include that with all their ‘puffs’ on the back cover of the paperback edition, in order to warn potential readers that it was controversial, but they declined. Other reviews, of course, were more positive. This paper is partly a reply to some of the more critical ones, but also seeks to place the general debate on the domestic impact of British imperialism in context, and will finish with a suggestion for moving it forward in a new way.     

小憩

经常会在非常喧闹的地方,看见这样安静的场景。面对着广场,面对着街景,或面对着水,就这么闲闲地坐着。也可能在思考,也可能什么也不想,只是用目光,淡泊地看着对面能看得着的东西。像是在看,其实是在休息。这样的休息,是欧洲人的日常状态,如果欧洲有一万种风情,这是其中的一种。

木鞋

我听说,荷兰人祖先的脚上人人都套着一双木鞋。风俗是一种植物。就是说,风俗是从土壤里生长出来的东西。在它还没发芽的时候,你无法想像出它的样子,在它长大之后,你无法把它移植到别的地方。它充满风味,只属于某一块土地,只能发生在这里,而且是永远的不被忘记。就像荷兰人脚上穿的木鞋。我曾经想,一个大人或一个孩子,穿着木鞋走路,只能是木偶戏演员,他们穿着怪模     

读《秦皇岛经济技术开发区志》偶得--兼及首轮志书得失

《秦皇岛经济技术开发区志》（以下简称《秦志》）是我从事方志编研工作20余年所见的首部正式出版的经济技术开发区志。经济技术开发区（以下简称“开发区”）是在我国特定的历史条件下出现的具有创造性、强烈时代感的新事物。其主要特征是：特定的历史期——时间短;特定的地域界限——地域小;特定的记述对象——经济技术开发;特定的发展道路——招商引资。开发区的这些特点决定了开发区志要有适合于反映这些特征的外在表现形式,它不能再去照抄照搬省、市、县志甚至是城市区志的老模式。为此,开发区志的整体设计就要有自己的特色。我想,这就是《秦志》整体设计所具有的创意性和时代感的内在依据。下面从《秦志》的整体结构、体例与篇目、图表编排、版式设计4个方面谈谈一管之见。     

Climate change and Zhou relocations in early Chinese history

In Chinese history, the development of the Zhou tribes and the dynasties that succeeded them between 3550 and 2200 BP in the middle reaches of the Yellow River is known as the period of ‘Five Relocations’. Most of these relocations appear to have been forced by the pressure of nomadic invasions and occupations from the northern steppe. Historians simply attributed these relocations to political and military causes. However, palaeoclimatic studies show that the Zhou tribes and their successor dynasties developed at the demise of the Holocene Climatic Optimum when regional climate became highly variable and unstable. An integrated analysis of environmental change over the Loess Plateau and the Mongolian steppe facilitates a credible understanding of the linkage between climatic events and these relocations. It indicates that the relocations caused an expansion or contraction of the settled regions over the drought-prone semi-arid lands. During climatic amelioration, dry farming societies pushed upward to the Loess Plateau where increased precipitation and soil moisture allowed cereals to be cultivated. When hit by droughts and the associated disasters, both the dry farming societies and the nomadic tribes had to move southward to find an environment suitable for their food production. Migration and relocation were, therefore, basic strategies to secure the resources necessary to sustain an agricultural economy. The settled frontier was pulled back as dry farming societies from the upland plateau retreated to the lowland riverbanks of the Guanzhong Basin. Even though there were political and military intentions, climatic events played an essential role in the relocations of the Zhou tribes and the successive dynasties.     

丝绸之路青海段交通线综考

沙漠丝绸之路和唐蕃古道都从青海通过,青海是陆上丝绸之路的重要通道。丝绸之路青海道南段由四川溯岷江、白龙江而上至甘肃迭部卡坝古城或岷县,然后经过隋河源郡或务隆河、洮河至茶卡或伏俟城;西段主要沿柴达木盆地南北至若羌或敦煌,将吐蕃与河西走廊连接起来;北段主要经过扁都口通河西走廊、蒙古高原。唐蕃古道由枫林关至鄯城后,分两道至吐蕃,一条经吐谷浑衙帐入吐蕃,另一条逾日月山经黄河沿至吐蕃。
