四部法"小说家"类浅论

中国古籍书目中的"小说家"类,有的书目亦称为"小说"类,在四部法产生之前即有之.汉刘向、刘歆父子所编中国古代第一部综合性图书目录《七略》,就在其诸子略下设有"小说"类.班固《汉书·艺文志》是踵《七略》之后的第二部大型综合性书目,系在《七略》基础上小改而成的,在诸子略下设了"小说家"类,是为"小说家"类名之首创者.

新见唐代安优婆姨塔铭汉文部分释读

新见《大唐故安优婆姨塔铭并序》,是一方入华粟特人的塔铭,该塔铭由汉文和粟特文两部分组成。汉文部分共11行(包括题目),粟特文共17行。通过汉文部分考释可知,塔铭的主人出于昭武九姓的安国,但已经内迁到凉州姑臧,其族群当属活跃于丝绸之路上的粟特人。其居住地长安外郭城群贤坊地近西市,是唐代旅京外族人集中居住区。与常见的粟特人信奉祆教或摩尼教等三夷教不同,据铭文中"普别二法""一乘"等概念,联系隋唐时期佛教发展史实,征之以新出文献和文物,推测此优婆姨当为三阶教信徒。她虽然是在家修行者,但没有依据世俗的葬法,而是与其他信徒集中在三阶教创始人信行葬地附近埋葬,葬俗或属当时佛教的林塔葬。     

塔里木盆地尼雅古绿洲沙漠化考

文章对尼雅古绿洲沙漠化的时代和原因进行了分析,认为:尼雅遗址出土多为魏晋之物,废弃的年代应在公元336—382午间,亦即东晋十六国时期。在气候变干、尼雅河水流量减少、冬季处于西北与东北两组风所携带流沙夹击的自然因素背景下,人们不顾及自然资源的承载能力而过度开垦、过度放牧,破坏了固沙植被,以及大规模战乱的破坏,导致了古绿洲的毁灭。     

Our Dear Cousins the Americans: Sara Jeannette Duncan in Washington

As a young woman, Canadian author Sara Jeannette Duncan (1861–1922) spent nearly a year writing for the Washington Post on literary and cultural matters, and published many of her assessments of American society in The Week, Goldwin Smith's journal of Canadian affairs. Her articles repay close scrutiny not only for their inherent interest as witty observations of America by an engaged Canadian observer, but also for the manner in which they reveal Duncan's national preoccupations and biases. Approaching the Republic with neither antipathy nor deference, Duncan turned her newspaper sketches into an occasion for wide-ranging cultural comment on the nature of the republican experiment – especially concerning America's claims to freedom and human flourishing. She found the results encouraging, if not without salutary warnings, for Canadian efforts in the same direction.     

Canadiana Abroad: The Department of External Affairs' Book Presentation Programmes, 1949–1963

This article examines one aspect of Canada's early cultural diplomacy. During the late 1940s, the Department of External Affairs frequently received requests for Canadian books from foreign libraries. At the same time, many officials were eager to promote Canadian culture abroad. The Annual Book Presentation Programme was inaugurated with the intention of creating “repositories of Canadiana” which might stimulate interest in Canada among foreign readers. Although the budget for the program was always modest, over the years the department's book gifts did fulfill their aim, creating a basis for the later growth of Canadian studies in universities abroad.     

要重视土地改革对乡村社会的深远影响——读《土地制度变动与中国乡村社会变革》有感

最近10年来,随着解决三农问题成为中国共产党和政府工作的重中之重,追溯和研究三农历史的论著也层出不穷,最近读了当代中国研究所王瑞芳研究员以考察新中国成立初期土地改革运动为中心写成的《土地制度变动与中国乡村社会变革》(社会科学文献出版社2010年版),感到作者运用历史唯物主义的基本原理和方法,通过透视生产关系的变革来研     

论《联合国反腐败公约》第二十八条的预防功能

国家工作人员与亲属共同受贿,已经成为新时期腐败犯罪的稳定形式,与腐败的“高压”、“高发”有直接关系。引进《反腐败法》第二十八条,推定工作人员与亲属共同受贿犯罪的故意,有利于强化反腐败法律的预防功能,有利于强化长效反腐机制,有利于强化依法反腐机制,有利于提高诉讼效率。但不会导致我国现行刑法原则和刑事政策的变更。
