Lead Isotope Analyses Revealed the Key Role of Chang'an in the Mirror Production and Distribution Network During the Han Dynasty

Chang'an (now Xi'an) was the capital of the Western Han Dynasty and the starting point of the Silk Road. In the light of the importance of Chang'an as the centre of politics, economy and cultural interaction, the overarching question proposed in this paper is focused on its role in the mirror production and distribution network during Han period. On the basis of chemical and lead isotopic analyses of 34 Han mirrors, this paper discusses the potential existence of a mirror production centre in Chang'an. Meanwhile, a comparative study with mirrors uncovered from the south‐western frontier and from Central Asian and North‐East Asian countries offers new insight into these related issues.     

Microstructural and Componential Characterization of the Plating Technology on Chinese Han Dynasty Bronze Fragments

The bronze wares of the Han Dynasty excavated in Chongqing are decorated with plating patterns, maintaining an exquisite lustre right up to modern times after the covering patina is cleared away. In this paper, a plated fragment of the Han Dynasty from the Wushan County Museum was characterized by combining optical microscopy (OM), scanning electron microscopy with X‐ray energy‐dispersive spectrometry (SEM–EDS), X‐ray fluorescence analysis (XRF), X‐ray diffraction (XRD) and X‐ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). The results showed that the bronze fragment was gilded with a ~ 3 μm thick gilded layer and a ~ 20 μm thick silvered layer. The high concentration of Hg and Hg‐rich intermetallic compounds confirmed the existence of mercury gilding/silvering technology, for example, Au₉Hg in the gilded layer and Ag₁₃Hg₇ in the silvered layer. An ordered stripe structure was observed in the gilded surface, corresponding to the formation of rod‐like, intermetallic Au–Hg compounds. Specifically, a high concentration of Au was detected in the silvered layer. The exploration of gilded/silvered bronze casts light on this ancient technology and the benefit of identifying, protecting and reproducing it.     

Multi‐Scalar Practices of the Korean State in Global Climate Politics: The Case of the Global Green Growth Institute

The paper examines the significance of state territoriality and the related multi‐scalar practices of the state in the light of the symptoms of post‐politics exemplified in global environmental governance. The focus rests on the South Korean government's Green Growth (GG) strategy and the efforts to export this strategy as a role model to emerging economies worldwide through the establishment of the Global Green Growth Institute. We begin with the question why the Korean government is going global with a political program that is heavily disputed at home. We then study the practices by which the state manages to maintain its territoriality under the conditions of global climate change. Lastly, we discuss how multi‐scalar practices of environmental governance in the GG strategy are applied by state and non‐state actors both in Korea and abroad.     

世界文化遗产数字化保护与建设初探——以西藏罗布林卡古建筑为例

随着计算机及相关技术的迅猛发展,以数字近景摄影测量、三维激光扫描测量、虚拟现实等技术为基础的数字化保护与复原开始在古建筑保护中扮演重要的角色。但由于经费短缺,人员匮乏,制约了文化遗产数字化保护与利用的发展。为了更好地保护和利用好罗布林卡,应提高认识数字化保护建设,增强危机感。建立完整的罗布林卡古建筑数字化保护与展示技术,形成一套集建筑表征、内部结构、周围环境影响因素于一体的档案系统,利用数字平台打造综合性的罗布林卡文化遗产展示与推广平台。     

西方列强对外扩张和竞争中的埃及和埃及学

埃及学是由拿破仑军事远征和西方列强对外扩张催生的产物。它的建立和发展见证了埃及沦为殖民地的全过程。在英法等国收集文物、争夺考古发掘特权的过程中,诞生于殖民时期的埃及学经历了在欧洲列强文化中成长以及在夹缝中生存的不寻常历程,而西方学者语境下的埃及学所构建的古埃及历史与文化,使得现代埃及人处于两难的境地。     

书法正楷 市招圣手——唐驼其人其艺

唐驼是上个世纪30年代上海有名的写市招的高手。和他同时的还有天台山农刘介玉（1878—1932年）、马公愚（1890-1969年）。刘介玉学清道人李瑞清的魏碑,骨架峥嵘,结构比清道人还要夸张。马公愚的字则敦实厚道。三位写市招的高手,以唐驼最受欢迎。如今,上海那家以经营绸缎棉布闻名的老店“老介福”,店门口挂的金字招牌,还是唐驼当年写的那几个字,这是唐驼卖字生涯的处女作。

云冈20窟佛坐像对太和期单尊佛像的影响

云冈20窟佛像的图样来源属于犍陀罗-凉州系统佛像,其坐像的衣纹形式在昙曜五窟中别具一格。至云冈第2期即太和时期,以20窟佛坐像为范本的石窟佛像和单尊铜石佛像盛行一时,确立了太和时期独具特色的佛像形式。     

1966～1976年的上海职业人口

“文化大革命”期间,上海的职工人数增长了127．14万人。这主要是因为20世纪50年代生育高峰期的人口,每年以20万人以上的规模,从非在业状态转向在业状态。上海全民单位的职工主要来源于毕业生(高达72．28％)和复退军人,其他人员皆因“身份羁绊”难有机缘。这一期间,因上海从事第二产业人数及比重持续上升,终于使上海失去了金融、贸易等城市型经济功能,从一个综合型城市转变为生产型城市,并造成城市布局混乱、交通拥挤、工业区与居民区杂处等一系列影响人们生活的社会矛盾和困难。
