第二轮修志的五大优势述评

第二轮志书编纂与首轮相比,在客观上具有五大优势：1．以国务院颁布《地方志工作条例》为起点,省市县三级政府纷纷颁布相关法令,开创依法修志新局面;2．各地认真总结首轮修志经验教训,为第二轮修志营造一面成败得失的镜子;3．众多方志理论著作出版,为第二轮志书的高质量引领航向;4．一批批日记、月报、月志、月鉴、年鉴等地情书出版,为第二轮修志储备了大量基础资料。5．方志界运用多种措施着力培养修志人员,方志队伍整体素质日益提高。     

哀劳彝族\"抹黑脸\"

聚居在哀劳山区的彝族,有一种其他民族很少见的习俗“抹黑脸”,就是在婚丧喜事或宰年猪等请客时,晚宴接近尾声,由劝酒、劝饭而发展到相互往对方脸上抹锅烟灰。     

大地湾地画新考

大地湾地画是我国迄今已知最早的建筑绘画作品,众多学者曾先后著文对地画含义及功用进行释读。本文通过对上部人物、下部动物及人物左手动作的分析,认为该地画是父系社会阶段体现“求丰育”观念,与巫术思想无关的装饰画。     

Ngawang Norbu s Diary——a Record of a Special Mountaineering Event

Editor's Notes: On May 8~(th),the Beijing Olympic torch relay team successfully reached the summit of Mt.Qomolangma. About 9:11a.m,at a spot 30 meters from the peak, Lozang Dradul ignited the first torch that had been named"Auspicious Clouds"and was held by the female Tibetan mountaineer Jiji.Then,the torch was relayed to Wang Yongfeng,Nyima Tsering,Huang Chungui,and     

地理资源造成史前南北陶器装饰风格的差异

新石器时代,南北陶器装饰已出现不同面貌,大体说来,黄河中上游为一种,表现为彩绘的样式：长江中游为一种,表现出素面刻划的特征。造成差异的原因,地理资源即无机质矿物颜料的多寡是第一位的,这一推论大体符合彩陶分布状况,和历史献记载以及现代探矿资料。     

冀北地区东周时期北方文化青铜短剑研究

冀北地区是中国北方青铜文化的一个重要分布区,也是北方文化和中原文化的交错地带,其文化遗存非常丰富,尤其是东周时期的青铜短剑遗存最为集中,而且文化因素极其复杂。本文在对该地区发现的青铜短剑进行类型学分析的基础上,结合前人的研究成果,试图揭示这些复杂的文化面貌中所含的各种文化因素。     

Spatial–temporal distribution and geographic context of Neolithic cultural sites in the Hanjiang River Basin,Southern Shaanxi,China

Understanding how to live successfully within our environment is among the most pressing challenges facing contemporary society. This paper probes the problem based on comparative analysis and discusses the relationship between the spatial–temporal distribution of the Neolithic cultural sites and the geographic context in the Hanjiang River Basin in the south of Shaanxi Province, China. Archaeological studies have identified 175 Neolithic cultural sites in the study area, with a sequence of Laoguantai (¹⁴C age 8–7 ka BP), Yangshao (¹⁴C age 7–5 ka BP) and the late period of the Neolithic Age (¹⁴C age 5–4 ka BP). The total number of archaeological sites, the distribution area and the density all showed an early ascending and later descending trend, but the proportion of the number of archaeological sites in the study area to the corresponding value of the entire Shaanxi Province declined sharply. Spatially, these sites were concentrated on the terraces of the Hanjiang River and its main tributaries with an altitude of 400–800 m. Multiple data were integrated to clarify the critical effects of tectonic and geomorphologic conditions on the distribution of the Neolithic sites. Further comparisons revealed the correlation of Holocene climate change and environmental evolution with the Neolithic cultural succession in the study area that ameliorated conditions to generally promote the development of the primitive culture while degeneration coincided with the culture's transition or interruption. The discussion on the origin of the primitive culture and the temporal–spatial distribution corresponding to the regional culture differentiation sheds light on the complex and dynamic human–nature interaction system during the Neolithic Age, thus emphasising the wider field-based investigation and high-resolution reconstruction works of the palaeoclimate and palaeoenvironment in the future.     

Full-Scale Experimental Verification of Soft-Story-Only Retrofits of Wood-Frame Buildings using Hybrid Testing

The FEMA P-807 Guidelines were developed for retrofitting soft-story wood-frame buildings based on existing data, and the method had not been verified through full-scale experimental testing. This article presents two different retrofit designs based directly on the FEMA P-807 Guidelines that were examined at several different seismic intensity levels. The effects of the retrofits on damage to the upper stories were investigated. The results from the hybrid testing verify that designs following the FEMA P-807 Guidelines meet specified performance levels and appear to successfully prevent collapse at significantly higher seismic intensity levels well beyond for which they were designed. Based on the test results presented in this article, it is recommended that the soft-story-only retrofit procedure can be followed when financial or other constraints limit the retrofit from bringing the soft-story building up to current code or applying performance-based procedures.     

介绍几件馆藏清代纸币

咸丰年间,清政府为了解决财政上的困难,发行了大清官票和大清宝钞,但由于发行过滥,造成通货膨胀、纸币贬值,引起百姓的不满和抵制,不得不于同治年间停止了纸币的制造和发行。本文介绍了河北大学博物馆收藏的几件清代官票和宝钞。
