论魏晋士人“孝先于忠”的观念

"忠"、"孝"是中国古代两种最重要的道德观念,二者都是维护封建统治的伦理基础。通常统治者往往更重视忠,但魏晋时期却由于种种原因,忠孝关系倒错,形成了"孝先于忠"的观念。     

西汉淮阳国(郡)辖域的变迁

Designing the nation. Banknotes, banal nationalism and alternative conceptions of the state

This paper explores the relationship between national iconography, banal nationalism and conceptions of the state. It begins by reviewing scholarship on visual culture associated with official products of the state: namely, stamps and money. This reveals a preoccupation with content analysis and a tendency to assume state control over the symbolic content of money (and stamps) without clarifying the nature of design processes, the nature of state involvement in these processes, or how ‘the state’ is being conceptualized. The paper addresses these lacunae, beginning with an examination of approaches to banknote design and clarification of the role of the state in these processes. This analysis reveals that non-state actors and institutions are frequently responsible for this key mechanism of official iconographic representation and this, in turn, supports calls for a reassessment of the concept of the state. After outlining an alternative conception of the state, as an idea that produces ‘state effects’ rather than an empirical entity separate from society, the value of this concept is illustrated by showing how it can explain banknote production in the stateless nation of Scotland. The revelation that commercial banks can be co-constitutive of state effects – things like banknotes, national institutions, iconography and identity – challenges presumptions of a discrete state that controls its own representation and the regulation of society.     

江苏苏州市木渎春秋城址

2010年,对江苏苏州市木渎古城进行发掘,发现五峰村北城墙和城壕遗迹、新峰村南水门遗迹,以及东、西城墙遗迹等,出土遗物有原始瓷器、陶器等。初步推断北城墙修建于春秋晚期,南水门使用时期为春秋晚期。木渎古城应是一座春秋晚期具有都邑性质的城址,木渎古城的发掘为探索吴国都城所在提供了重要线索。
