The Language of Ornaments:An Anthropological Insight Into the Ethnic Ornaments of the Karbis of Assam,India

North Eastern region of India enjoys a place of pride in the whole of the country for its immensely rich assembly of tribal cultures.Among the prominent tribes of the region are the Karbis who possess unique traditions and cultures distinct from the other tribes.The Karbis are fond of ornaments and since the ancient day they have been using natural objects as ornaments,silver ornaments are used extensively by them.Preparation of different kinds of ornaments occupies an important part of material culture of the Karbis.Ornaments with distinctive colour,motifs,and designs not only reflect the cultural identity of the Karbis but are also indicative of the possession of rich cultural heritage and traditional knowledge.In this present endeavour,an attempt has been made to delineate the ethnic ornaments of the Karbis of Assam,India,along with the motifs of the designs in it which stands as one of the integral aspects of their cultural heritage.

Book Review of A Rainbow in the Mountains:Dress of the Yao—A Guide to Traditional Yao Costumes and Ornaments

A Rainbow in the Mountains:Dress of the Yao,an album of pictures and texts on Yao clothing,the most comprehensive and systematic record of the dazzling costumes of the Yao ethnic minority which has been inscribed on the national intangible cultural heritage list of China since 2006,is of great academic value and practical significance to study the profound connotation of the Yao traditional culture.The various styles,colorful dress customs,and exquisite craftsmanship constitute the beautiful cultural landscape within the Yao ethnic minority,as well as the way to explore all the social aspects of the Yao ethnic minority.This book review aims to arouse the attention of all sectors of the community to the clothing of the Yao ethnic minority,which has met the greatest challenge of the collection and protection of the Yao costumes and ornaments.Thus it is expected to sort out and retain those precious records that have been drifting away via pictures and texts,which we have already started and will continue to do in accord with the national cultural development strategy.

High-throughput discovery of plastid genes causing albino phenotypes in ornamental chimeric plants

Chimeric plants composed of green and albino tissues have great ornamental value.To unveil the functional genes responsible for albino phenotypes in chimeric plants,we inspected the complete plastid genomes(plastomes)in green and albino leaf tissues from 23 ornamental chimeric plants belonging to 20 species,including monocots,dicots,and gymnosperms.In nine chimeric plants,plastomes were identical between green and albino tissues.Meanwhile,another 14 chimeric plants were heteroplasmic,showing a mutation between green and albino tissues.We identified 14 different point mutations in eight functional plastid genes related to plastid-encoded RNA polymerase(rpo)or photosystems which caused albinism in the chimeric plants.Among them,12 were deleterious mutations in the target genes,in which early termination appeared due to small deletion-mediated frameshift or single nucleotide substitution.Another was single nucleotide substitution in an intron of the ycf3 and the other was a missense mutation in coding region of the rpoC2 gene.We inspected chlorophyll structure,protein functional model of the rpoC2,and expression levels of the related genes in green and albino tissues of Reynoutria japonica.A single amino acid change,histidine-to-proline substitution,in the rpoC2 protein may destabilize the peripheral helix of plastid-encoded RNA polymerase,impairing the biosynthesis of the photosynthesis system in the albino tissue of R.japonica chimera plant.

Designing of future ornamental crops: a biotechnological driven perspective

With a basis in human appreciation of beauty and aesthetic values,the new era of ornamental crops is based on implementing innovative technologies and transforming symbols into tangible assets.Recent advances in plant biotechnology have attracted considerable scientific and industrial interest,particularly in terms ofmodifying desired plant traits and developing future ornamental crops.By utilizing omics approaches,genomic data,genetic engineering,and gene editing tools,scientists have successively explored the underlying molecular mechanism and potential gene(s)behind trait regulation such as floral induction,plant architecture,stress resistance,plasticity,adaptation,and phytoremediation in ornamental crop species.These signs of progress lay a theoretical and practical foundation for designing and enhancing the efficiency of ornamental plants for a wide range of applications.In this review,we briefly summarized the existing literature and advances in biotechnological approaches for the improvement of vital traits in ornamental plants.The future ornamental plants,such as light-emitting plants,biotic/abiotic stress detectors,and pollution abatement,and the introduction of new ornamental varieties via domestication of wild species are also discussed.

Application of Shrub Landscape on Campus from the Perspective of Ornamental Characteristics of Plants

In the campus greening design,the shrub height is generally consistent with people’s horizontal line of sight,which plays a significant role in people’s visual focus.From the perspective of ornamental characteristics of plants,the application of shrub landscape is explored in a campus environment.Based on the analysis of the selection,arrangement and maintenance of shrub plants in campus gardens,the application of shrub landscape on campus was evaluated comprehensively from the theoretical analysis of plant ornamental characteristics and campus shrub landscape.Based on the research background of the problems existing in the application of shrub landscape on campus,this paper first collected and sorted out the relevant theories extensively,and then conducted in-depth research on the relevant theories by using analysis methods such as literature data,field investigation and questionnaire survey.The results will provide a theoretical guidance and practical advocacy for campus garden planning and design,and help to create a livable and comfortable campus environment.It is hoped that the results will have some references for future campus shrub landscape and play a certain promoting role.

基于门控卷积生成对抗网络的西汉漆箱纹饰图案数字化修复研究

中国历史上漆器以其精美的纹饰技法闻名于世,针对古代漆器表面破损严重、纹饰信息大面积缺失的彩绘漆箱修复难题,提出了一种门控卷积生成对抗网络(GC-GAN)的古代漆箱表面图案修复方法.该方法采用门控卷积结构改进生成对抗网络模型,以提升模型对于图像中有效像素的学习能力并解决不规则大面积图像区域的高分辨率修复问题.在此基础上,首先对漆箱图案中的畸变、破损和缺失部分进行掩膜处理,然后使用GC-GAN生成掩膜区域的图案.针对漆箱纹饰图案样本数量少的问题,借助迁移学习思想,将模型在CelebA、SVHN等多种公共数据集上学习到的知识迁移到漆箱纹饰上.最终实现了“西安凤栖原西汉家族墓地”M1墓室中出土的大型木胎彩绘漆箱表面纹饰的数字化虚拟修复.

维特根斯坦哲学视角下的商周青铜器纹饰研究

文章基于维特根斯坦的哲学符号学思想,以商周时期的青铜器纹饰为研究对象,通过分析其符号学系统,深入探讨青铜器纹饰的文化内涵和逻辑演变。从符号学视角,结合青铜器实际案例,分析纹饰的形式结构和符号系统。通过对商周时期青铜器的历史背景进行深入阐述,揭示青铜器在当时社会中的重要性。通过对青铜器纹饰的逻辑系统分析,突显其在礼器、容器等不同器类中的使用规则和文化内涵。强调母题与主题之间的关系,阐释青铜器纹饰的符号演变过程,并将其置于商周历史背景下进行深层次的哲学符号学解读。通过本研究,不仅深化了对青铜器纹饰的理解,还为维特根斯坦的符号学理论在考古学研究中的应用提供了有益的范例。

为何批判?何以矛盾?——重读阿道夫·卢斯的《装饰与罪恶》

《装饰与罪恶》是一篇振聋发聩的批判式檄文。本文通过细读文本,并联系其其他文章,同时辅佐以文本产生的语境分析,期望能回答以往研究中未曾谈及的一些问题。本文认为,无论中西方,“装饰”本身都是一个复杂的词语,具有多重含义,既具有文化性、精神性,又具有时代性、物质性。在卢斯看来,文化性是一种确定性、合理性的存在,因此应关注装饰的有机性;而时代性是一种不确定性的存在,因此应留给时间进行选择,而不应由设计师主观去介入。也因此,他更刻意强调前者,贬低后者,而坚决反对同时丧失两种属性的装饰。

兴隆洼文化头盖骨牌饰研究

头盖骨牌饰在兴隆洼文化中出土数量较少,但其往往出土于墓主人贴身的位置,以及所用材质的特殊性,表明头盖骨牌饰与祖先崇拜有着密切关系,是原始宗教活动中不可缺少的器物之一。三件头盖骨牌饰分别代表了人面饰、臂饰、祭祀法器三个系统。祭祀法器随着红山文化的消亡,也渐渐失去其原本的作用而消失。人面饰和臂饰则在文化交流中进入中原地区,并发展为青铜人面像和青铜兽面牌饰。青铜人面像在商周时期进一步影响到四川、陕西等地,使当地出现了一批具有地方特色的人面像;在汉代其作为百戏中的面具和仪式面舆继续流传,并衍生出了丧葬面具这一功能,而这一功能在辽代墓葬中亦有发现。臂饰与人面饰的发展脉络基本一致,商周时期其功能也一直被保留,被用于作为彰显身份地位的礼仪性用具且与宗教祭祀活动有着一定关系;秦汉时期,臂饰发展为臂鞲,更注重实用功能,并得到广泛流传;但是其最初的作用并未消失,至辽代仍可见用于彰显身份地位的礼仪性臂饰。
