Agent-based simulation of the spatial evolution of the historical population in China

This paper presents an agent-based simulation (ABS) and cellular automata (CA) coupled model to simulate the spatial evolution of the population of China over the past 2000 years. In the model, agents are used to simulate individuals who live in a geographic environment represented by the CA. The choice to migrate is influenced by climate change, potential agricultural productivity change, and waves of mass migrations. Using the simulation, we can observe the spatial evolution of the population, as well as the shift of the population center of gravity, and we can analyze the driving forces of these changing spatial patterns.

陕南的史前考古文化与族群分布

本文在前人研究的基础上,对陕南地区史前考古遗址的分布特点及其文化内涵进行综合整理和分析,认为最迟在距今60万年前陕南就有人类活动,是中国早期史前文明的发祥地之一;陕南地区史前文化遗址星罗棋布式的广泛分布和文化类型的多样性,则表明这一地区早期人群流动的频繁及其与多种族群活动之间的某种内在关联。旧石器时代在陕南活动的主要是以汉水上游和南洛河上游旧石器文化为代表的两大人群;新石器时代早期,以仰韶文化为代表的中原人群进入陕南并在此活动;至新石器时代晚期,陕南则呈现了以黄河中游流域为主的华夏族群先民和以长江中游流域为主的三苗族群先民交互影响的态势,而巴族先民的文化因素也开始在陕南显现,从而为陕南地区早期文化和族群的多样性及其相互交融的基本格局奠定了基础。     

Popular Magazines and the Making of a Nation: The Healthy Baby Contest Organized by The Young Companion in 1926–27

The Young Companion, an important representative of Republican Shanghai’s popular magazines, organized a Healthy Baby Contest from August 1926 to March 1927. Though its slogan, “Strong babies promise strong people, strong people guarantee a strong nation” expressed a nationalistic spirit, this contest was rather a commercial activity organized by a popular magazine and its commercial sponsor exploiting nationalistic discourse. Such an integration of nationalistic discourse and commercial interests profoundly influenced mass culture and ultimately promoted China’s modernization and its development as a nation. With this contest as an example, this paper sheds light on the relationship between popular journals and the making of a nation.     

Reorganization of Guilds and State Control of Small Business: A Case Study of the Teahouse Guild in Early 1950s Chengdu

This paper attempts to investigate the decline of Chinese guilds in the early 1950s and to show how political change altered economic life in China. Although the socialist transformation of private ownership started in 1954, the new government used state power to gradually weaken private ownership far before that time, building a foundation for the full-scale socialist transformation later. The reorganization of the Teahouse Guild in Chengdu reflected the general policies of the Communist Party that changed traditional social and economic organizations. The new guild almost became a representative of the government in the teahouse profession, which no longer maintained the nature of the traditional guilds. Actually, the guilds existed in name only after the reorganization of the early 1950s, and the teahouse guild disappeared after 1953. The death of the guild was a result of decline among social organizations and the growing strength of state power.     

戏剧对义和团运动的影响

义和团运动在很大程度上受到戏剧的影响,正是戏剧为义和团运动的发生创造了一种社会“叙述背景”。一方面,义和团在穿着、神主、话语、行为等许多方面都是模仿戏剧舞台演出;另一方面,戏剧在一定程度上促进了义和团运动的爆发。之所以会如此,原因就在于当时华北地区戏剧的分外流行。从中,我们可以看出一个地区社会风俗文化巨大的影响力。     

试论中国牛车、马车的本土起源

车是古代重要的交通工具.与西亚等地相比,从"黄帝造车"等古史传说和文献记载来看,我国车出现的时间与西亚相比相差不远.中国早期车的遗存都出现在远离西北和北部边陲的中原地区.由此可见中国的车并非传自域外.商人是善于迁徙和经商的部族,车是其代步致远的重要工具,这正与文献记载相吻合.豫东平原一望无垠,适宜放牧牛马和驾车,是传说中先商活动的主要地区,在那里发现有不少史前文化的遗迹.因此有理由推断:牛车、马车应是在中国本土起源的,商族应是我国最早掌握牛车、马车驾御技术的部族.
