Textual research of Wudu earthquake in 186 B.C. in Gansu Province, China and discussion on its causative structure

On the basis of the textual research on the historical earthquake data and the field investigation of Wudu earthquake occurred in 186 B.C., we suggest that the earthquake parameters drawn from the present earthquake catalogs are not definite and amendments should be made. The heavily-damaged area of this earthquake should be located between Jugan township of Wudu County and Pingding township of Zhouqu County. Its epicenter should be in the vicinity of Lianghekou in Wudu County with a magnitude of about 7-7 1/4 and an intensity of about IX-X. The major axis direction of the heavily-damaged area should be in the WNW direction that is approximately consistent with the strike of the middle-east segment of Diebu-Bailongjiang active fault zone, and the origin time should match up to that of the latest paleoearthquake event [before （83±46） B.C.] obtained by the trench investigation. Certain seismic rupture evidences are still preserved on this fault segment. Therefore, we propose on the basis of comprehensive analysis that the causative structure of the M 7-7 1/4 Wudu earthquake in 186 B.C. should be in the middle-east segment of Diebu-Bailongjiang active fault zone.

On the Combination of “The Textual Research on Historical Documents” and “The Comparative Study of Historical Data” —— and a Discussion on “The Law of Quan-ma and Gui-mei” in Chinese Language Studies

In Chinese language studies, both “The Textual Research on Historical Documents” and “The Comparative Study of Historical Data” are traditional in methodology and they both deserve being treasured, passed on, and further developed. It will certainly do harm to the development of academic research if any of the two methods is given unreasonable priority. The author claims that the best or one of the best methodologies of the historical study of Chinese language is the combination of the two, hence a new interpretation of “The Double-proof Method”. Meanwhile, this essay is also an attempt to put forward “The Law of Quan-ma and Gui-mei” in Chinese language studies, in which the author believes that it is not advisable to either treat Gui-mei as Quan-ma or vice versa in linguistic research. It is crucial for us to respect always the language facts first, which is considered the very soul of linguistics.

Textual Research on the Historical Data of the 1573 AD Minxian Earthquake in Gansu Province and Discussion on Its Seismogenic Structure

According to the detailed study of the historical earthquake records and causative structure of the Minxian M6 1/2 earthquake in 1573 A.D., we have found that the most grievous disaster area lies nearby the Minxian county seat （Minzhou county at that time ）. So, we have identified the extremely seismic area of the 1573 A.D. The Minxian M6 1/2 earthquake was located in Minxian city, the intensity of the meizoseismal region is Ⅷ - Ⅳ, the epicenter is 34.4°N, 104.0°E, the location precision is Ⅱ and the deviation of location is less than or equal to 25km. Tectonically, this area lies in the transition region of stress transfer and structural transform between the east Kunlun fault and the northern margin of the west Qiuling fault. The differential activity of the Lintan-Dangchang fault zone is obvious, and only parts of the segment put up Holocene activity. There are landslides and rock bursts of different sizes in the meizoseismal region. By integrated analysis, we conclude that the Minxian-Dangchang segment of the Lintan-Dangchang fault is the seismogenic structure of the 1573 A.D. M6 1/2 Minxian earthquake, in Gansu Province.

基于本草考证的水蛭功能主治及用法用量探究

基于本草考证,水蛭功能主要为破血逐瘀和活血通络;用药形式以水煎剂和研末为主;现代水煎剂用量2~20 g,研末用量1~10 g,古今均超出药典规定剂量,剂量选择与临床用药目的、用药形式相关,破血逐瘀之功用量常高于活血通络之功用量,水煎剂用量高于粉剂。水蛭的临床剂量具有一定的研究价值,《中华人民共和国药典》规定剂量有一定的局限性,临床应用应因人、因证、因时制宜给予最佳剂量。

滇龙胆的本草考证

目的:研究历代典籍对滇龙胆的文献记载,对滇龙胆进行本草考证,以期为滇龙胆的开发利用提供参考。方法:通过查阅历代本草典籍,结合现代研究文献,对滇龙胆的名称、基原、产地变迁、采收加工以及品质评价进行系统的梳理、考证。结果:经考证,滇龙胆始载于《滇南本草》,别名坚龙胆、龙胆草、苦草等,为龙胆科龙胆属植物,基原植物为滇龙胆,是《中华人民共和国药典》龙胆药材的基原植物之一;主产于云南,临沧是其道地产区;滇龙胆一般于秋冬两季采收;加工多以产地初加工为主,即将滇龙胆清洗后阴干或晒干;历代本草典籍中对其质量评价的记载非常少,以“形如枯骨”“根肥长”“脂润”“味苦”“粘牙”作为质量好坏的评价标准,现代主要以龙胆苦苷含量作为龙胆药材质量评价的主要手段之一,辅助以外观性状等的观测。结论:考证结果将为今后滇龙胆的开发利用提供参考。

《金匮要略》“支饮”病名含义考释

支饮病是《金匮要略》的重要组成部分。但对于其疾病命名含义,长期以来充满争议。后世医家或从医理角度、或从临床实践角度,对这一疾病命名含义作出训释,而基于文字学角度进行探讨者却较为罕见。通过对“支”字形字义之考证,同时结合对张仲景原文记载之分析,“支饮”之“支”当为“支撑”之义,“支饮”病名含义为“支撑于胸膈之水饮”。支撑于胸膈间之支饮,与位于人体腹部之痰饮、四肢之溢饮、胸胁之悬饮,涵盖了人体之大部,与“水在心”“水在肺”等“水在五脏”条文互为羽翼,从不同角度构建了仲景痰饮证治理论体系。

丁玲小说《在医院中》的历史考证

小说《在医院中》是丁玲中期创作的代表作,同时也是令她在政治上饱受磨难的一部作品。她一生中很少就这篇作品发表意见,甚至可以说是三缄其口、讳莫如深。究竟是什么原因,让她对小说《在医院中》如此敏感呢?通过对作品中的“XX医院”“人物事件”“创作动因”以及延安文艺整风与丁玲之间的关系等四个方面的详细考证,可以深入探讨丁玲在1940年的情绪低沉、思想困顿、情感纠葛和自我救赎。通过对相关史料文献的重新梳理,可以揭开丁玲创作《在医院中》的历史之谜。

清代南部档案俗语词考证四则

清代南部县衙档案多由人工手写,其中俗语词颇多,出现的“该欠”“估撇”“滚刀皮”“站房”四个俗语词,意思费解或容易误解。根据语境和传世文献,可知“该欠”即“欠、拖欠”,“估撇”即“强迫诈骗”,“滚刀皮”即“地痞、无赖、流氓”,“站房”即“旅馆、酒店”。

《神农本草经》杜若考

杜若入药最早记载于《神农本草经》,一名杜衡。古时较长时间人们均认为杜若是姜科类植物,现今植物分类学家定为鸭跖草科植物,但几乎不作药用。通过对《神农本草经》中杜若的药名含义、植物形态、功效、资源利用等多角度进行查考分析,发现最早使用的杜若很有可能是中药杜衡,来源马兜铃科细辛属植物杜衡Asarum forbesii Maxim.与小叶马蹄香A.ichangense C. Y. Cheng et C. S. Yang。

陆懋德《中国上古史》讲稿述评

陆懋德曾于20世纪二三十年代在清华大学、北平师范大学等高校主讲中国上古史课程,编有《中国上古史》讲稿。讲稿曾以油印本、铅印本形式流传,分上下两册,共十八章,叙述自史前社会至秦统一六国前的主要史事。通过对疑古史学思潮的反思,在上古史重建上,陆懋德倡导以考古器物证史的治学路径。陆懋德从评判求真立场出发,对经学文献的考订,不主一说,务求真实。在考订方法上,对古史材料做“地、时、人”的三层考证。陆懋德的治史路径与史料考订理路,对于当下的上古史研究不乏借鉴和启示。

中医经典名方西黄丸处方考证、历史沿革应用及其质量标志物预测分析

经典名方西黄丸出自《外科证治全生集·卷四》,为清代名医王洪绪所创,是中医治疗乳腺癌的经典方剂,由牛黄、麝香、乳香、没药4味药物组成。功效清热解毒、消肿散结,主治热毒壅结所致痈疽疔毒、瘰疬、流注、癌肿,临床常用于治疗肺癌、乳腺癌、胃癌等,在肿瘤辅助治疗方面疗效显著。该文通过医药典籍系统梳理该处方的出处,对处方用量、处方中各药味进行了考证,并对西黄丸的历史沿革应用进行分析,同时以质量标志物(Q-Marker)的“五原则”为纲领预测了西黄丸的质量标志物,结果发现麝香酮、α-乳香酸、β-乳香酸、3-乙酰基-11-酮基-β-乳香酸、3-乙酰基-α-乳香酸、3-乙酰基-β-乳香酸、11-酮基-β-乳香酸、β-榄香烯等可作为西黄丸主要的Q-Marker,为西黄丸的质量控制、后续的研究开发以及临床应用提供了科学的理论依据。

银翘的本草考证

银翘是金银花和连翘的合称。两者都是清热解毒药物,相须为用起到协同作用,提高疗效。作者通过对历代古籍及权威药学专著的收集、整理、比较、分析,分别对连翘和金银花的名称、性味归经、功效主治以及用药部位进行考证,结果发现历代本草著作对连翘、金银花记载不尽相同。连翘早期名为异翘,性味由“苦、平”转为“味苦性寒或微寒”,用药部位由根部发展为全叶,具有消肿排脓、清热解毒、疏散风热的功效。忍冬为金银花早期用名,只采用茎叶作为用药部位到茎、叶、花均可入药,属“寒”性药物,具有清热解毒之功效。考证结果可为今后成方制剂开发及临床应用提供重要参考。

瓦楞子的本草考证

瓦楞子为常用的多基原海洋中药,药用历史悠久。《中华人民共和国药典》记载其基原动物为蚶科动物毛蚶Arca subcrenata Lischke、泥蚶Arca granosa Linnaeus或魁蚶Arca inflata Reeve。在查阅历代本草书籍、文献的基础上,对瓦楞子的名称、基原、入药部位、产地分布、药性功效等方面进行系统的本草考证,以正本清源,为其深入研究提供思路。经考证,瓦楞子以“魁蛤”之名首载于《名医别录》,瓦楞子一名首见于《本草备要》。在古代蚶科多种属动物均可入药,最早以肉入药,南北朝至唐代起壳与肉均可入药,其肉名“蚶”,甘、平,为药食两用之品,清代至今所用瓦楞子多为其壳。其壳由单一药味“咸”发展为复合药味“甘、咸”,《本草求真》首次记载其“专入肝”,今认为其主入肝经,兼入肺胃二经。沿海广分布。目前《中华人民共和国药典》只收载其壳为瓦楞子。

夏枯草不同部位化学成分、药理作用研究进展及质量标志物的预测分析

夏枯草Prunella valgaris.是传统的清热泻火类中药,具有清肝泻火、明目、散结消肿的功效。夏枯草中含有多种化学成分,主要为萜类、酚酸、黄酮、有机酸类、挥发油类等。夏枯草药用部位古今存在差异,传统多以茎叶入药,2020版《中华人民共和国药典》规定夏枯草果穗为药用部位。研究表明,夏枯草茎叶和果穗在化学组分上无差异,仅含量上有差异,黄酮和多糖类成分在叶中含量最高,异迷迭香酸苷是果穗的特征性成分,夏枯草种子含有较多的挥发油,β-香树酯醇是其特有成分。现代药理学研究表明,夏枯草在临床上常用于治疗甲状腺癌、乳腺癌、肝癌、肺癌、子宫癌等癌症。除此之外,夏枯草还具有抗炎、降血压、降血脂、降血糖、抗菌、抗病毒、抗氧化、镇静催眠的作用。通过对夏枯草本草考证、不同部位化学成分的差异、药理作用的总结,根据质量标志物的定义,从植物亲缘学及化学成分特有性证据、传统功效、传统药效、化学成分可测性、复方配伍环境等几个方面对夏枯草的质量标志物进行分析,可推断芦丁、槲皮素、迷迭香酸、异迷迭香酸苷、亚油酸、角鲨烯、β-香树醇、木犀草素、山柰酚、谷甾醇、咖啡酸等为夏枯草中的质量标志物。
