《晋安帝纪》与东晋安帝朝史书关系研究

黄爽《晋安帝纪》辑本材料出处名称多达六种。经笔者考订，《隋志》所著录王韶之《晋纪》与两《唐志》所著录《崇安记》及《宋书》所载《晋安帝阳秋》皆为《晋安帝纪》之异名，而黄爽辑本中之《续晋安帝纪》与《晋安帝纪》非一书，乃作者误辑。     

The Evolution of the Pre-Confucian Meaning of Jen 仁 and the Confucian Concept of Moral Autonomy

Abstract

Once ostracized and relegated to a mere marginal position in the history of modern Chinese literature, Lin Shu 林紓 (1852–1924) has now become an important and relatively well-known figure. This paper summarizes existing research on Lin Shu's translations and the controversy between the vernacular and the classical language, emphasizing the achievements of Chinese and Japanese scholarship during the past century. For practical reasons, results have been divided chronologically into four categories: (1) Criticism of Lin Shu before 1924; (2) Early Chinese Scholarship (1924–1935); (3) Late Chinese and Early Japanese Scholarship (1935–1960); (4) Renaissance of Studies on Lin Shu outside China (1960–2000). This periodization is supplemented with a brief excursus on the current state of Lin Shu studies.     

日藏弘仁本《文馆词林》卷次不明之阙题残篇考辨

本文认为,目前学术界所讨论的日藏弘仁本《文馆词林》中的一个卷次不明、题名及作者之名均阙的残篇,并不为后汉文,也决非马融所作之《上林颂》。根据文中所提供的一些重要线索,可以断定该文是魏文帝黄初年间的作品,其题名当如时所称《校猎赋》或《羽猎赋》之类,作者则待考。     

晚清首批留德军事学生再考--以《李星使来去信》为中心的考察

光绪二年,七名淮军军官受李鸿章派遣赴德留学。北京大学图书馆所藏《李星使来去信》对此有着详实的记载。七名学生中,卞长胜与朱耀彩因品行不良提前回国,余者虽完成了学业,但所学非常有限,后来也大多没有晋升到较高的职位上。此次留学没有达到预期目标,症结在于学生个人素养不足,集中表现为德语水平低下。     

“Soldiers with stiff bodies”: rumors,stereotypes and the Chinese image of the British army during the First Opium War (1839-1842)

ABSTRACT

A curious aspect of the First Opium War was the circulation among Chinese officials of two claims made about British soldiers, instigated by Commissioner Lin Zexu: their uniforms were so tight that if they were to stumble they would not be able to get up again; and, the men were “like fish,” thus able to function well at sea, but not to fight on land because they had become so used to the pitching and rolling of their ships. This article examines the extent to which these notions took on the quality of wartime rumors, and how they spread beyond generals and officials and into the general population. It considers the way in which the rumors functioned in different ways and at different levels of society, taking on different constructions of meaning in multiple social and political domains.     

问鼎上层文化:胡适的哲学史研究

胡适是中国哲学史研究的开山者。他的《中国哲学史大纲》(卷上)作为中国第一部真正的哲学史著作,建立了哲学史学科的新体系,开创了现代学术史的新纪元。(1)它以科学的方法和可信的史料,创造了全新古典哲学史体系、构想与规范,使哲学史作为一门科学戛然独立,并迈向了中国古代哲学史研究的近代化进程;(2)它用疑古与实证的方法实践,完成了新学科的创立及从“形”到“质”的转变,开启了崭新的治学门径,对具体的学术研究起到了示范作用。(3)它从形式到内容整体手段的全方位更新,不仅具有冲击传统惯性的强劲的反封建之风,又有开拓学术研究新风尚之意义。胡适的哲学史研究,新见迭出,影响深远,具有划时代的意义。
