A Preliminary Study on the Spherical Bombs(Huolei)of the Southern Song Dynasty,Unearthed in Chongqing

The military situation of the thirteenth century required that the Song and the Mongols construct a great number of defensive works,relying on the mountains or facing the rivers,in the mountainous Sichuan Province and Chongqing.In recent years,a special kind of explosive firearms,huolei火雷(bombs),was unearthed in the large-scale excavations of the site of Diaoyu Fortress钓鱼城in Hechuan District合川and the Baidicheng白帝城in Fengjie County奉节,both of which were defensive works constructed in this mountainous area during the Southern Song dynasty.In addition,the ruins of kilns and the clay molds that were relevant to the casting of iron huolei have been discovered at the site of Baidicheng,indicating that these huolei might have been produced locally.The Southern Song iron huolei unearthed in Chongqing are the most direct evidence of the evolvement of gunpowder and firearms,and are of great significance to the history of science and technology,in particular the history of military technology.

Artistic Features of Gardens in Southern Song Dynasty

Based on the discussion of gardens in song dynasty,the artistic characteristics of gardens in southern song dynasty are analyzed from the four perspectives of poetry and painting style,stone piling and water designing,architectural form and plant cultivation.The gardens of southern song dynasty embody the regional and cultural characteristics of Jiangnan.The aesthetic appreciation of gardens infl uenced by the style of poetry and painting highlights the artistic characteristics of false or true complement,soft and elegant,and tends to be popularized.Mountain stones are stacked into peaks and waters are designed according to local conditions.The architectural forms are strewn at random,exquisite and elegant.Landscape plants present varying sceneries with changing view-points,and naming echo with scenes to enhance the artistic value of landscape.It is hoped that the status of garden art of southern song dynasty in the history of Chinese classical gardens can be evaluated more scientifi cally and objectively through the research,and some reliable theoretical basis can be provided for modern garden design.

The“Emperor’s Edict”and the Emperor’s power in the Southern Song Dynasty

“Emperor’s Edict”refers to the writing of emperor himself.In the context of serving as official document,it refers to the special writ issued by emperor for sake of administering national affairs.In the official document system of Song Dynasty,“Emperor’s Edict”had always been an attention of the scholars and officials at that time due to its unusual functions in terms of drafting,promulgation and power.The Southern Song Dynasty was generally conceived by academic circles as a period when the“Administration by Emperor’s Edict”was gradually phased out.We did observe,however,with“Emperor’s Edict”placed in historical panorama of the early years of Southern Song Dynasty,an ever-strengthened power and prowess of“Emperor’s Edict”as backlit by several historical incidents such as Emperor Gaozong’s controlling and manipulating by“Emperor’s Edict”of the national armies.It reflects the political truth of strengthened imperial power in the Southern Song Dynasty.Hence,we can have access to another facet of the politics of the Southern Song Dynasty.

The Rediscovery of“Evocation”(Xing)and the Rise of“Poems Based on Evocation with Miscellaneous Themes”(Za-Xing)in the Resurgence Era of Southern Song Dynasty

The composition of group poems based on evocation with miscellaneous themes(za-xing)first emerged in the Tang Dynasty,pioneered by Du Fu and Chu Guangxi,but an extraordinary outburst of group poems based on evocation with miscellaneous themes emerged in the the resurgence era of Southern Song Dynasty.This phenomenon was not only influenced by new ideas in poetics and the studies of Confucian classics in the Southern Song Dynasty but also directly stemmed from the resistance against the poetic system represented by the Jiangxi poetry school.The group poems based on evocation with miscellaneous themes of poets such as Lu You,Yang Wanli,and Fan Chengda exhibit a tendency opposite to the Jiangxi poetic style in terms of their overall characteristics.The rise of evocation with miscellaneous themes poems in the poetic circle of the the resurgence era of Southern Song Dynasty holds significant importance in the history of Song poetry.It represents a rebellious and rule-breaking force that fundamentally protests against the various rules and boundaries established by Song poetics,marking a revolution in the norms of Song poetry.

Measurement of transient thickness between the body and graze layers of ancient porcelains using microprobe EDXRF technique

The oxide contents of TiO2, MnO, SrO and Fe2O3 in the body and graze layers of the Jiao-Tan-Xia (JTX) and Lao-Hu-Dong (LHD) porcelains in Southern Song Dynasty (1127-1279 A.D.) have been determined using an In- ternational Eagle-II μ-probe EDXRF spectrometer. The results show that the contents in the body are much different from those in the graze one. Therefore, the transient thickness (TT) between the body and graze layers can be meas- ured through determination of a distance of the drift change in the chemical contents. The TT average for the JTX porcelains is 161μm, while that for the LHD porcelains is 258μm, which are consistent with a range of 0.15-0.3mm in the Ru-Yao porcelains. The different TT is related to the variances in firing temperature and raw material for manu- facturing the respective porcelains.

“森列”与“饾饤”:南宋园林假山营造的两种类型及其结合发展

现有中国园林史研究已经认识到南宋是园林中石假山营造得到重要发展的时期,然而南宋园林假山营造的具体方式及其形态特点尚未得到有效探讨。在深入研读相关文献与图像的基础上,结合历史来源与后世影响,探讨南宋园林假山营造的类型及其发展。首先从“置”与“叠”2种基本方式出发,在历史语境中探讨“森列”与“饾饤”这2类南宋常见的假山营造类型及其来源与影响;进而关注二者在仿“飞来峰”营造中的结合与发展,从而更清晰地认识南宋,乃至其后的石假山营造。这一研究将对其后中国园林假山发展的认识,乃至当代假山特点的理解提供坚实的历史理论基础。

南宋和元代龙泉窑粉青瓷釉色比较研究

为了研究南宋与元代龙泉粉青瓷釉呈色机理,采用colorimeter,XRF,XRD,Raman spectrometer,XPS等对南宋和元代龙泉粉青瓷釉进行对比分析。结果表明,南宋粉青瓷L*值大于元代,而a*、b*值小于元代粉青瓷。南宋粉青瓷的烧成温度低于元代。龙泉粉青瓷乳浊如玉的质感主要是受釉层内小而密集气泡与大量石英晶体对光的影响所致。Fe2O3的化学色主导了龙泉青瓷的呈色,且南宋粉青瓷的Fe2+与Fe3+的比值高于元代粉青瓷,是南宋粉青瓷偏蓝而元代粉青瓷偏绿的主要原因。

南宋临安古都的历史还原

南宋建都临安,是杭州这座历史文化名城跃升为全国首都的里程碑,是浙江文化从外缘走向中心的转折点,是中国文化中心南北易位最终聚合江南的分界线,也是宋代文化继续繁荣再造高峰的动力源。然而由于战乱等原因,作为“七大古都”之一的南宋临安未能如北京、南京、西安、洛阳等有效保存古都空间景观,以皇城为核心的主体建筑荡然无存,这无疑是浙江也是中国文明发展史的重大缺憾。在当今长三角一体化的大战略中,以国际大都会上海为领雁,以古都南京与杭州为两翼,必将在建设全球第六大城市群中书写新的辉煌。鉴此,尤有必要从中国古都谱系的历史定位中提出和探索南宋古都复原与重建这一重要论题。

朱子社仓与南宋乡村共同体的形成

随着宋代土地兼并造成的社会分化加剧,乡村贫富矛盾日益尖锐,这在南宋初年的乡村社会尤其明显。在生存竞争的压力下,各种单一共同体成为小群体的生存策略,建立在地缘基础上的乡村共同体反而受到削弱。在一些生存困难的地区,由常规性春荒引发的贫富对立就足以造成乡村共同体的分裂,更在饥荒期间造成乡村共同体的崩溃。为此,如何建立一种能够纾解民困、缓解贫富矛盾并修复乡村共同体的有效机制,成为南宋士大夫们尤其是理学家们重点思考的问题。朱熹的方案是:通过建立由士人领导的立足乡村的公益设施——社仓,构建一种利益平衡机制,贫民能够以较低代价获得所需口粮,乡里借贷利率也得以整体降低;富民尽管做出部分让步,并投入大量精力从事公益服务,但避免了社会崩溃带来的生命财产损失。在这一体系中,士人作为儒家传统的代言人为系统注入道德内聚性,公益服务与慈善活动增进了结构的精神属性。由此,一个在官方监督下的由士人领导的建立在乡里社会场域上的地缘共同体得以成立。这种模式尽管并非尽善尽美,但在应对乡村社会分化导致的地缘共同体分裂方面具有无可替代的作用,因而被后世所继承,这无疑是朱子社仓超越南宋时代的价值所在。

南宋沿海地区巡检与海患治理

巡检司是宋代为缉拿走私、平息基层变乱、维持地方治安而在各地增设的机构,其主管官的称谓很复杂,简称“巡检”。随着海外贸易的兴盛,南宋时期沿海地区各类走私猖獗,走私者分布广、规模大,海上盗贼势力空前强大,负责缉私与巡查盗贼的巡检数量随之增加。沿海巡检所统领的土兵是当时基层常备巡警力量,根据缉私对象、寇盗活动规模及其治理难易程度的不同,或与附近巡检寨兵联合行动,或配合水军等主力官兵及地方民防力量协同参与弹压行动,在近海海患治理中发挥重要的基础性作用。揭示南宋沿海各地巡检的布局特征,分析其职能变化,探讨巡检在当时海患治理机制中的地位和作用,对于深化和推进地方治理机制的相关研究有重要的意义。

南宋临安园林活动探究

南宋是中国园林进入艺术化与典型化的重要时期,南宋园林营造也成为园林史研究中的一个重要课题。南宋时期,园林作为不同需求、不同文化、不同阶层人的共同场所,承载了琳琅满目的园林活动,对南宋园林营造产生了深远的影响。聚焦南宋临安园林活动,挖掘南宋及后代笔记小说、绘画、诗词、史学文献等资料,分类讨论园林活动并对应至具体位置,找出园林活动与营造之间的关联,探究园林活动对园林营造技艺、功能布局、呈现意境的影响,发现园林活动促进了掇山置石、栽植造境、题写匾额等造园技艺的发展,改变了建筑形制、空间布局的设计形式,同时也延展了空间意境,使不同社会阶层人们的活动在园林中共同上演,雅俗交融。以活动为线索探讨园林营造,以期对南宋临安园林造设有更全面的理解。

“一叶为家万虑空”:宋高宗题跋渔隐山水小景及其政治表达

一批出自宋高宗画院,表现烟雨朦胧、孤舟闲钓景致的佚名渔隐山水小景长期为研究者忽略。炎兴之交,高宗将暗藏议和决心的御制《渔父词》赠予近臣辛永宗,《蓬窗睡起图》等画作则是在和议告成后对词作的回应。结合此期复杂的君臣关系及院画生产流通情况分析,渔隐小景中暗含赵构塑造帝王形象、渲染和议政策的意图。

冲突·流变·承续:南宋城市人居防御环境的空间体系与营建智慧

两宋时期城防理论与技术的发展臻于极盛,南宋人居环境的防御空间与营建智慧集中体现在历史人物、城守兵书、建设实践三个方面,其中人居防御环境营建为各有识之士相互博弈而形成,城市营建思想在冲突与交融中造就了以守为主的格局,致使文人论兵盛行,促进了城守兵书的流变与发展,指导了南宋城市人居防御空间的规划与设计。通过提炼城守兵书与建设实践的人居防御智慧,分析边防城市背后的选址布局、联防机制和防御空间特征,进一步论证人居防御智慧历史承续与更新的问题,厘清南宋城池防御空间结构与营建智慧,以期对明清城墙军事城防遗产的认识、保护与发展提供参考。
