百果之宗—梨

梨,是人类最早栽培的果树之一,我国古代人称为“果宗”,意思就是所有水果之祖。此外,还有玉乳、蜜父、快果等名称。我国南起海南岛,北至黑龙江,东自沿海各省,西达新疆地区,到处都有荟蔚成林的栽培梨树和风味宜人的梨果。 梨树是一种高产果树,经济利用年限长,平均单株年产梨千斤左右。梨果营养丰富,含糖量8％,最高可达20％,另外还含有各种有机酸、蛋白质、脂肪和矿质元素,维生素等。宋代邵雍有《食梨诗》:“愿君莫爱金花梨,愿君须爱红消梨;金花红消两般昧,一般颜色如胭脂。红消食之甘如饴,金花食之颦双眉”。这是对梨果的喜爱和赞美。

These threats became unprecedented with the advent of Modernity. Faced with these destabilizing agents, they resorted to citing textual authorities, strengthening their institutions, giving leaders more powers, precisely defining belief commitments, punishing heretics and using violence against heterodoxies. Consequently, in their obsessive quest for preserving the sanctity of their faiths against modern threats, religions or section of a religion adopted both revival and resistant measures. Fundamentalism thus developed within these contexts. This paper intends to reveal that religious militancy and militarism are ramifications of Fundamentalism. It argues that Modernity＇s destabilizing agents to religions and religions＇ passionate desire for self-protective steps, militant or militaristic, yield to the phenomenon of Fundamentalism. Secondary sources were used to assemble the data while analytical and comparative approaches with empirical emphases on Christianity and Islam were used to weave the findings with the finality that militant or militaristic, Fundamentalism is religions＇ obsessive response to Modernity,
