有关东汉侍廷里父老(亻单)的几个问题

东汉侍廷里父老僤约束石券,是我们所知道的我国历史上最早的乡里民约。约束文透露出了当时的乡里社会同其前后相比自有其特殊性的信息。国家政府必须依赖和通过父老者流的民间社会领袖人物来确立一种乡村社会秩序,国家政权虽然通过行政组织控制着乡村,然乡里实具有半自治的性质。     

皮锡瑞《经学历史》的编纂特点

《经学历史》对于经学通史的编纂有许多开创性。该书不仅从时间的跨度和内容的广度继承和发展了传统经学史的编纂特点 ,且吸收了西方史学的章节体体例 ,将经学在传统社会的发展史用一主题思想贯穿起来 ,从而成为第一部完整意义的经学史并对近代的经学史研究产生了一定的影响。但由于作者门户之见的限制 ,使得书中在探寻经学发展的原因时 ,在对经学史上各流派、重要的经学人物的评价上又表现出很大的局限性     

上博竹书《孔子诗论》与风雅正变

孔子生于春秋末期,他对于诗的态度,其论诗、传诗的实践,对《诗》的传播及其进而为经典都产生了重要作用。最近出版的《上海博物馆藏战国楚竹书》中“孔子诗论”,为我们研究孔子与《诗》的关系又做了献上的丰富：首先,《孔子诗论》充分证明了先秦的用诗风气之盛;其次,在《孔子诗论》中,孔子基本是从诗的本义出发来评价诗篇的风格,与后儒定义“风雅正变’说有很大差距;第三,传统诗论中的“美刺”说可以说完全是对《诗经》的误解。对封建时代的一些错误的诗说,《孔子诗论》为我们作了全新的辨正,为我们认识《诗》的本来面目提供了极大的献价值。     

上海博物馆藏《战国楚竹书（一）·孔子诗论》解诂（二）

本文是2002年发表于《古籍整理研究学刊》第二期上面的《上海博物馆藏(战国楚竹书(一)·孔子诗论)解诂(一)》的续篇。体例一仍其前。解诂主要针对疑难字词。     

《楚辞章句》重言词训释要例阐微

《楚辞章句》是成书于东汉时期的一部重要训诂作,其对《楚辞》中的大量重言词进行解释时注意运用义训法的多种体例随揭示语词的意义,不为前人的注释材料所制约;同时注意运用各种训诂术语,使释义方式日臻完美,成绩卓,为后世训诂学家所仿效。认识其重言词训释的状况,既有利于今人正确理解《楚辞的》语句,也可从中汲取研究和训释重言词的经验。     

Technological traditions inferred from iron artefacts of the Xiongnu Empire in Mongolia

Iron objects excavated from sites of the Xiongnu Empire (3rd century BC–2nd century AD) in Mongolia have been examined using optical and scanning electron microscopy. The results show that the Xiongnu iron tradition may be characterized by the use of low carbon iron and carbon control by carburization. Cast iron was also used in the Xiongnu Empire, but only in very limited applications and with no convincing evidence of its use for the production of low carbon iron. The Xiongnu iron technology seems to have been established on the basis of the bloomery technique, without much influence from the Chinese style of technology, based on cast iron.     

略谈宋代官窑瓷器研究中存在的问题

宋代官窑是中国古陶瓷研究中的重要内容之一。长期以来,由于对相关历史文献的理解不同以及考古发掘的局限性,致使在宋代官窑瓷器研究中存在许多悬而未决的问题,诸如何为北宋官窑,北宋朝廷是否在都城汴京设置过官窑,北宋官窑是否就是汝窑,河南汝州张公巷窑是否是北宋官窑,南宋修内司官窑的称谓是否准确,南宋官窑是否只有郊坛下官窑一处,何为文献上所说的内窑,老虎洞窑是修内司官窑还是文献上所说的续窑,等等。本文在对专家学者们对上述问题的看法进行疏理的基础上,指出对宋代官窑瓷器的研究离不开传世宋代官窑瓷器、现代科学技术手段和考古发掘资料,只有将这三者结合起来开展综合研究,才能最终解决上述问题。     

The shaping of the American Empire

This paper creates a traditional, counterfactual, historical geography that proposes the rise of an American Empire in the 1800s instead of the British. The industrialization of the British world-economy of the early 1800s, victory in the Napoleonic Wars, and the consequent success of the British Empire fundamentally depended on cotton textiles, thus on American cotton agriculture. Cotton was, to the economies of the nineteenth century, very much like oil is to those of the late twentieth and early twenty-first enturies. The development of the American cotton South after 1800 was based heavily on the reproduction of slaves within the South. Had Jefferson ended slavery, as he at one time considered, I suggest that an alternative America would have arisen in which Jeffersonian idealism would have encouraged family farms as the principal units of agricultural production. I further argue that, absent the availability of cheap British manufactures, the Philadelphia School of Protectionists would also have likely triumphed early and an American industrial development based on internal growth fueled by cotton grown on family farms would have allowed America to come to dominate the world-economy of the late 1800s. Protectionist policies would have similarly excluded French manufactures and the industrial development based on cotton the French were also attempting in the late 1700s would have failed just as did that of Britain. French military victory in the Napoleonic Wars would not have produced a French world-economy. An America without serious global opposition would not have resisted annexing all of Mexico and Canada in the 1840s and expanding aggressively into Asia via the Pacific basin and Hawaii to create an American Empire.     

大运河作为文化线路的认识与分析

中国的大运河一直是炎黄子孙所珍视的文化遗产。近年来的申遗热,更促使学界将大运河纳入世界遗产的范畴之中进行全新的认识与研究,同时国际重要的遗产研究团体也对大运河这一特殊案例给予了多方关注。当前学界对于大运河遗产的特点与价值等重点专题都展开了热烈地探讨,但与世界遗产理论体系并没有充分地接轨。因此,有必要从世界遗产体系中已有的相关文件在对大运河价值评估中产生的问题出发,探索"文化线路"对于大运河特质识别和价值研究的理论指导,从而发掘出对大运河遗产的新认识。     

马克思主义政党先进性与阶级基础的互动脉络——基于对马克思主义经典作家党的先进性思想进行探究的视角

马克思主义政党的阶级基础是其具有先进性的总根源,对阶级基础不同程度的把握使党的先进性呈现出不同的特点。马克思、恩格斯从党的阶级基础的内涵上去论证党的先进性,列宁将这一思想具体化为从阶级构成成分上去论证党的先进性,毛泽东为加强党的先进性提出旨在“再造党的阶级基础”的建党理论。邓小平认为保持党的先进性的路径是扩大党的阶级基础,江泽民提出保持党的先进性必须巩固党的阶级基础和扩大党的群众基础。
