Spatial–temporal distribution and geographic context of Neolithic cultural sites in the Hanjiang River Basin,Southern Shaanxi,China

Understanding how to live successfully within our environment is among the most pressing challenges facing contemporary society. This paper probes the problem based on comparative analysis and discusses the relationship between the spatial–temporal distribution of the Neolithic cultural sites and the geographic context in the Hanjiang River Basin in the south of Shaanxi Province, China. Archaeological studies have identified 175 Neolithic cultural sites in the study area, with a sequence of Laoguantai (¹⁴C age 8–7 ka BP), Yangshao (¹⁴C age 7–5 ka BP) and the late period of the Neolithic Age (¹⁴C age 5–4 ka BP). The total number of archaeological sites, the distribution area and the density all showed an early ascending and later descending trend, but the proportion of the number of archaeological sites in the study area to the corresponding value of the entire Shaanxi Province declined sharply. Spatially, these sites were concentrated on the terraces of the Hanjiang River and its main tributaries with an altitude of 400–800 m. Multiple data were integrated to clarify the critical effects of tectonic and geomorphologic conditions on the distribution of the Neolithic sites. Further comparisons revealed the correlation of Holocene climate change and environmental evolution with the Neolithic cultural succession in the study area that ameliorated conditions to generally promote the development of the primitive culture while degeneration coincided with the culture's transition or interruption. The discussion on the origin of the primitive culture and the temporal–spatial distribution corresponding to the regional culture differentiation sheds light on the complex and dynamic human–nature interaction system during the Neolithic Age, thus emphasising the wider field-based investigation and high-resolution reconstruction works of the palaeoclimate and palaeoenvironment in the future.     

民俗词语刍议

民俗词语是用来指称民俗仪式及其相关事象的词语。对民俗词语进行调查和研究,近期引起了学者的注意。笔者拟在前贤研究的基础上,以自己家乡安徽宿松方言中有关婚嫁和丧葬的民俗词语为例,谈谈个人对这方面的认识。     

出土资料所见的西周礼仪用玉

中国素称礼仪之邦,“礼”是华夏文明的基本特征,《左传·定公十年》孔颖达疏云:“中国有礼义之大,故称夏;有服章之美,谓之华。华、夏,一也。”

六朝石刻辟邪艺术图像的释读

六朝石刻辟邪是六朝时期文化和艺术的载体。六朝石刻辟邪的艺术图像的构型要素以狮形头、张口露舌、体侧刻划羽翼等为主要特色。通过对这些艺术要素源头的追溯,笔者认为:六朝石刻辟邪是中西经济文化交流及中国传统丧葬礼俗的产物。     

辽东地区双房式陶壶研究

本文经类型学研究,将辽东地区两周时期流行的双房式陶壶分为三期,并对年代进行了讨论.在此基础上,通过对其内涵与外延的把握提出三点认识:1.双房式陶壶的祖型可追溯到庙后山文化,在以后的发展过程中逐渐形成以太子河、浑河为中心,分布范围遍及辽东地区具有显著时段特征的一种考古遗存.2.将双房式陶壶分为A、B两系,认为它们是同源陶壶谱系的两个发展序列.3.所谓"美松里"陶壶,是双房式陶壶自西周中晚期发生分野以后,向东流入西北朝鲜地区发展的一支.同时这种陶壶的北传,还对西团山文化产生了较大影响.     

晚清知识层的差异及士人的边缘化

晚清知识层存在明显风尚差异,概括起来就是“锢蔽者自锢蔽,开通者自开通”.传统士人和新知识分子在相同的时代背景下表现出两种截然不同的话语体系,其差异的产生概因商品经济发展的不同步、风尚地域差异的存在、与西方文化的亲疏、新旧职业的影响、新知与旧学的结构不同而不同.知识层的风尚差异造成统治阶层的分化和一部分知识分子的边缘化,其影响一直持续到民国年间.     

岷江上游新石器时代的文化景观与环境动因

岷江上游位于我国西南横断山脉东缘,自然和人文地理特征鲜明,是藏彝民族走廊中最独特的一个区域。本文以岷江上游新石器时代为时间断面,从文化景观的角度,探讨文化源流、聚落建筑、生产生活、文化习俗以及文化传播等要素的呈现,并分析背后的环境机制以及景观呈现对环境的响应。     

A Study on Black‐Body Celadon Excavated in The Altar Guan and Literature Ge (Longquan Ge) Kilns by EDXRF

Samples of celadon were collected from the Altar Guan Kiln in Hangzhou, and from the Xiaomeizhen and Xikou Kilns, two subordinate kilns of the Longquan Kiln producing black‐body celadon called Literature Ge. Both the elemental contents in the sample bodies and the glaze were measured. The results reveal that the sample bodies contain fingerprint information for provenance, while this was lost in the glaze during the production process. The TiO₂, MnO and Rb₂O contained in the bodies are fingerprints to distinguish between celadons from the Xiaomeizhen and Xikou Kilns. In the Altar Guan Kiln, some low‐TiO₂ samples were found and their body colour is much lighter than some others, but they do not differ with regard to iron content. This indicates that both titanium and iron are indispensable for the blackness of the bodies: they may react to form some black minerals during the firing process. Ultimately, samples from the Literature Ge and Altar Guan Kilns differ in their body constituents. Principal component analysis reveals that the samples can be divided into two groups, corresponding to the two different areas.
