New damselflies (Odonata: Zygoptera: Hemiphlebiidae,Dysagrionidae) from mid-Cretaceous Burmese amber

Zheng, D., Zhang, Q., Nel, A., Jarzembowski, E.A., Zhou, Z., Chang, S.-C. &; Wang, B., May 2016. New damselflies (Odonata: Zygoptera: Hemiphlebiidae, Dysagrionidae) from mid-Cretaceous Burmese amber. Alcheringa XX, xxx–xxx. ISSN 0311-5518

Two damselflies, Burmahemiphlebia zhangi gen. et sp. nov. and Palaeodysagrion cretacicus gen. et sp. nov., are described from the mid-Cretaceous Burmese amber. Burmahemiphlebia zhangi is the first record of Hemiphlebiidae from this amber, although the family was cosmopolitan during the Mesozoic. It can be readily distinguished from all other members of Hemiphlebiidae in having very short MP and CuA veins, and in its rectangular discoidal cell. The new fossils support the view that hemiphlebiid damselflies were one of the dominant groups of Zygoptera during the Mesozoic. Palaeodysagrion cretacicus is the first dysagrionid damselfly from Burmese amber and the second Mesozoic representative of this predominantly Paleogene group. It differs from other members of Dysagrionidae in having a unique elongate discoidal cell. These new finds increase the diversity of damselflies in mid-Cretaceous Burmese amber.

The Experimental Study of Palaeolithic Heat‐Treatment Technology: A Case from the Shuidonggou Rock Resources,North‐West China

The application of heat‐treatment technology on lithic raw materials is an important feature of early modern human behaviour. The evidence of heat‐treated stone artefacts discovered at Localities 2 and 12 of the Shuidonggou Late Palaeolithic site, North‐West China, provides an important example for studying this technology among ancient humans in Asia during the Late Palaeolithic. The mechanism and effects of heat treatment on raw materials and the role of this technology in producing stone tools were studied by means of a simulation experiment and related analytical methods. These facilitated an in‐depth analysis of the heat‐treatment activities of the Shuidonggou occupants and their implications for cognitive ability and survival strategies of human populations at that time.     

唐宋时期太湖南岸平原区农田水利格局的形成

唐宋时期在太湖湖流的作用下,太湖南岸形成一条地势较高的滨湖沉积带,吴越时在太湖湖滨开挖溇港,创建湖堤。入宋以后,在太湖南部碟型洼地的平原地形中,产生了横塘纵溇的水利结构?崽劣胱轀鞠嗯浜现饕?是为成功地向太湖排出平原洪涝水,两宋时对横塘纵溇结构的完善主要体现为溇港的设闸与横塘的加筑扑问逼诘?水利建设奠定了后期太湖南岸地区农田水利开发的基本格局。     

秦南海郡辖南海县说商榷

本文通过对传世古官印"南海司空"之性质和新出土南越国木简所见"南海"地名之性质的重新研究,对秦南海郡辖有南海县说进行了商榷,认为所谓传世秦官印"南海司空"估计是南越国官印的误断,南越国木简所见"南海"地名指的当是南越国的南海郡,也不能排除是指南海郡治(即南越国都番禺城)的可能性,但没有任何证据可以证明指的是南海县,有学者推测秦代与南越国时期一样也设有南海县,显然缺乏立论的根基。

浅谈社会变革与经济部类志书编修——以深圳地区修志实践为例

改革开放以来志书编修的社会环境、社会结构、社会内容发生了重大变化,特别是经济领域呈现出多元化的发展态势,决定了经济部类志书记述主体的多元化。《深圳市志》在编纂中注重研究社会变革,反映经济部类记述主体多元化的局面。社会的重大变革决定了志书记述主体的多元化,客观上要求传统的志书编纂体例必须有所创新。首先在篇目方面,要依据事业发展变化,科学合理地确定志书分类标准,适当升格,提高竖写层次,突出业务重点和特色;其次,在保留章节体框架的前提下,借鉴条目体,优化志书结构形式;再次,诸体并用,充分发挥志书体裁的各自优势,拓展志书记述的空间和范围。此外,借鉴历史学研究方法科学反映社会变革,提高志书著述性。     

敢于探索继承创新科学发展——简评《余庆县志(1988～2005)》

贵州省遵义市《余庆县志（1988－2005）》编纂工作经历了准备阶段、部门编写志稿阶段、总纂阶段、审定验收阶段、出版阶段。回顾每一个阶段的工作,都体现出余庆县志编委会和县志办敢于探索、继承创新、科学发展12个字。笔者认为《余庆县志（1988－2005年）》在编纂中的组织形式、工作形式、志书设计形式都为遵义市及全省县志续编起到了积极的导向作用。     

读志用志新形式的探索与实践

如何将志书资料盘活,推动读志用志工作的开展,是当前地方志部门面临的一个重要课题。要从创新思路,读志用志另辟蹊径;深入调研,广泛征集建馆资料;精心建设,充分展现方志成果;积极宣传,努力扩大社会影响四个方面介绍探索读志用志形式的做法。这种以建造社区展览馆的形式宣传志书内容,征集方志资源、整理地情资料,展示地方志工作成果,不断拓宽地方志工作领域的做法,使方志资料真正做活,影响真正做大,方志工作也由此走出了一条建馆与服务文化发展、服务社区百姓相结合的可持续发展之路,场馆成为和谐文化、和谐社区建设的主阵地。     

大学校史研究中的若干问题

学校的历史,是一个学校整体的历史。因其在教育史、文化史、社会史上的特殊地位,使得它的研究具有一般历史研究所不具备的特殊意义。但在中国特殊的国情下,一方面是大学离散聚合频繁,存亡继绝难测,从而加大了校史研究的复杂性;另一方面又因缺乏历史学者的参与,而使得大学校史的撰写存在诸多缺憾,校史的研究难成一门“显学”。     

宋代孟子升格运动中的四种关键力量

宋代孟子升格运动是孟子和孟学命运转变的关键时期,也是中国思想史上的重要历史事件。在宋代孟子升格运动中,有四种力量起着至为关键的作用：这就是以宋初三先生为代表的宋初学人,以王安石为代表的新学家,以张载、程朱为代表的理学家,以宋神宗、宋高宗为代表的宋代帝王。他们从不同方面促成了孟子升格运动。
