萧梁钱范的残留物初步研究

为弄清镇江出土的萧梁钱范是铸造铜钱还是铁钱,或是两者兼铸。利用扫描电子显微镜(SEM)及其配备的X射线能谱仪(EDS),分析了出土的萧梁公式女钱范的残留物。钱范ZJ1的正、反面和胎的点扫描和面扫描分析结果表明,其应为铸造铜钱之范。而钱范ZJ2剖面的线扫描分析指出,其铜含量从正、反表面向胎的内部呈现明显的梯度分布,从而进一步验证了这些钱范铸造的是铜钱,而不是铁钱。     

《中苏友好同盟条约》与《中苏友好同盟互助条约》之比较

中苏两国于1950年2月14日签订的《中苏友好同盟互助条约》是新中国成立后对外签订的第一个双边关系条约。该条约的签订反映了人民革命胜利后,中华人民共和国与苏联之间建立了完全新型的关系,标志着中苏关系从此走向一个全面合作的历史时期。通过对《中苏友好同盟互助条约》与苏联同中国国民党政府在1945年8月14日签订的《中苏友好同盟条约》的比较来看,《中苏友好同盟互助条约》是中苏双方在充分协商、积极对话的基础上产生的,所强调的不仅是同盟,更是互助与合作。     

“For the Means of Your Subsistence ... Look Under God to Your Own Industry and Frugality”: Life and Labor in Gerrit Smith's Peterboro

The rural hamlet of Peterboro, the home of Gerrit Smith, the nineteenth century's most famous social reformer, has been portrayed as an idyllic and peaceful community free of class conflict. The extensive documentary record suggests a less harmonious situation and indicates that the community was fraught with struggle, engendered as much by Smith's reform efforts as by general class relations. This article examines class-based struggle through several vignettes, including a look at the voting patterns of the Liberty party in Smithfield, the social conditions of African Americans who lived in Peterboro, and the story of the temperance hotel.     

Choice Flowers and Well-Ordered Tables: Struggling Over Gender in a Nineteenth-Century Household

Historical archaeologists have generally considered households as isolated,bounded entities, and not as sets of social relations. Consequently, the household has gone unrecognized as an arena of struggle. Analysis of documents associated with the household of nineteenth-century reformer Gerrit Smith challenges this approach. At his Peterboro, New York estate, a struggle ensued between family members because of conflicting ideologies of self-presentation, and between worker and employer on account of the period's shifting gender ideology. In order to access the meanings of objects excavated, the material remains associated with the Smith household must be considered in light of these struggles.     

古苏国地望及其疆域问题

研究古苏国地理及其疆域,应区别古温国与古苏国。古有苏与古温国没有关系,不能把古温邑说成古苏国始封地苏城。古温国在温邑。但苏、温二国关系密切,渊源流长,西周苏忿生封于温,则将苏国与温国合并为一苏国,其分封地望,应在今河南温县上苑村、古城村一带,为古温邑。     

Conversing with the minority: relations among Christian,Jewish, and Muslim women in the high middle ages

This essay introduces a special issue of the Journal of Medieval History on the topic of ‘Conversing with the minority: relations among Christian, Jewish, and Muslim Women in the High Middle Ages’. Despite the fact that both interfaith relations and women's history are now well established subdisciplines within the field of medieval studies, the question of how medieval women themselves established cross-sectarian relations has rarely been explored. Documenting women's history is almost always problematic because of limited source materials, but this essay suggests that much can be learned by looking at areas where Christian, Jewish, and Muslim women shared certain facets of their lives: either by reason of social relations tied to religion and ethnicity (money-lending being a common bond between Jewish and Christian women, slavery between Christian women and Muslims) or by reason of events that connected them due to their shared sex and gender (childbirth, caring for the dead, even cosmetics). By actively looking for ‘spaces’ where women would be found, we can begin to hear the dialogues that passed among women across religious lines.     

The care of women's health and beauty: an experience shared by medieval Jewish and Christian women

In this article I intend to elucidate the extent to which medieval western Jewish and Christian women shared customs, knowledge and practices regarding health care, a sphere which has been historically considered as part of women's daily domestic tasks. My study aims to identify female agency in medical care, as well as women's interaction across religious lines, by analysing elusive sources, such as medical literature on women's health care, and by collating the information they provide with data obtained from other textual and visual records. By searching specific evidence of the dialogues that must have occurred between Christian and Jewish women in transmitting their knowledge and experiences, I put forward the idea (developed from earlier work by Montserrat Cabré i Pairet) that medical texts with no clear attribution can be used as sources to reconstruct women's authoritative knowledge.     

競之定铜器群考

澳门出现的一组楚器,数量大。组合比较完整,且大多数铸有铭文,是近年来楚国青铜器的一次重要发现,它对于研究春秋战国时期楚国的历史、楚王世系、青铜器铸造,以及楚国与少数部族之间的关系,都有着重要的价值。根据其形制、纹饰以及铭文等方面所表现出的特征,其时代应在春秋晚期后段。盘、匜的作器者楚王酓(熊)恷,金文首次出现,亦不见于史书。经考证熊恷就是楚平王熊居,恷、居一名一字。您读为休,休,息止也。居,也有止息之义。名与字意义相因。鼎、簋、豆、鬲的作器者競之定是楚国的一位封君。盘、匜是楚平王所赐。     

明中期湟水流域汉族社会与文化之中兴

从明初洪武至嘉靖万历年间,经过卫、所制度建立,军、民屯田及移民,湟水流域汉族人口增加,经济发展,屯田繁盛,居住区域扩大,区域性汉族社会成型;同时由于儒学设立、教育发展,汉族群体中人才辈出、著述颇丰,使得汉文化在湟水流域复兴,为青海传统社会、文化、经济结构增添了新的成分,建构了青海传统社会、经济、文化多元性特征。本文通过对明中期湟水流域汉族社会的军事、政治、经济发展状况的梳理,阐述了明中期湟水流域汉文化中兴及对后世的影响。     

用科学发展观统领社会主义和谐社会建设
