Tendzin Phuntso＇s Chemistry of Salts

An examination of large quantities of Tibetan data for a project entitled “Alchemy and Alchemic Medicines of Tibet revealed that ancient Tibetan terminology for and classification of inorganic salts have much in common with modern chemistry. This is particularly true of research conducted by Tendzin Phuntso (born in 1672 in Gongjo Count, Chamdo, Tibet) and his representative work, “gso rig gcesb dus rin chen phreng ba bzugs so“. This work summarizes Tibetan recognition of inorganic salts in chemistry over the course of 1000 years or more, and is of great significance in the world history of science and technolgy.     

古代也禁止“跨区域用盐”

在新郑市开餐馆的黄先生用了从郑州带回的食盐,被盐管局认定为"跨区域用盐",没收部分食盐并处罚款200元。盐管局说,对盐进行区域性管理,是为了老百姓吃上放心盐。很多人还是头一回听说"跨区域用盐",觉得是这个新名词,涨了姿势。其实,禁止跨区域用盐并非什么新鲜事,古代就实行销盐划区政策,不同产区的盐限定在某一区域销售,不得逾越,这是食盐专卖的有机组成部分。食盐专卖已经延续了两千多年,是管仲老先生的发明。齐桓公想要争霸,财政不敷其用,     

读《孟子》说“盬盐”

人类文明的发祥之地,无不在自然产盐地区,或得盐便利之所;人类文明的形成与迁徙线路,都与盐的产地密切相关;远古人类发展的快慢高低,无不与食盐供给便利与否密切相关;人们常说＂柴米油盐＂、＂开门七件事,柴米油盐酱醋茶。＂盐,这个白色的小精灵已融入到人们社会生活的各个方面。山西运城是全国以盐运设城的唯一城市。＂＂的造字初意是由河东盐＂其味苦＂而来。所以,对池和盐在历史上的特殊地位作深入了解,尤为重要。

Bao Shichen and Agrarian Reform in Early Nineteenth-Century China

Known primarily for his reformist proposals in the areas of military affairs, foreign policy, the salt monopoly, and the grain tribute system, the influential early nineteenth-century literatus Bao Shichen 包世臣 (1775–1855) also made throughout his life numerous suggestions regarding the improvement of agricultural practice and of rural life. Contrary to the arguments of his older contemporary Hong Liangji that the empire was facing an imminent demographic and provisioning crisis, Bao argued that there was ample possibility for increasing crop yields, and improving popular livelihoods, if a more rational approach was taken to cropping decisions, farm labor allocation, agricultural commercialization, and local-level social organization. Bao was fond of quantification, and, far more than Hong, employed statistical analysis (albeit crude) to bolster his arguments. Fundamentally committed to increasing the power and wealth of the imperial state in the face of threats both foreign and domestic, Bao was highly optimistic that this could be achieved simultaneously with fulfilling his other basic commitment, relieving what he saw as widespread popular immiseration.
