Political History of Books:A Case Study of Precedents of Ritual Protocol for Jin's Imperial Ministers and Annotations to the Report on Jin's Official Posts

This article takes Fu Chang's Precedents of Ritual Protocol for Jin's Imperial Ministers and Xun Chuo's Annotations to the Report on Jin's Official Posts as a means to observe the interactions between books and political processes during the Western and Eastern Jin dynasties. Both Fu Chang and Xun Chuo were employed as high-ranking officials, with a background of being from the Central Plain, by the regime of the Later Zhao founded by Shi Le. Their purpose for writing the two books was to provide guidance for the regime's institutional establishment. The collapse of Shi Le's regime led to the flow of people and their possessions to the south. During these movements, the two books along with other materials and records were brought to Jiankang and then contributed to the institutional and cultural development in the middle and late Eastern Jin Dynasty. As historical facts and references for political reformation, these books revealed the duality of institutional writings. The collection and dispersion of books after the Disaster of Yongjia, as well as the social and cultural changes, should be placed in a wider political process for further examination.

On the Publishing Boom of Natural History Books in China in the 21st Century and the Reasons Behind It

Natural history,a discipline of ecological significance,is regaining popularity in China,especially after 2010,thanks to the promotion of academics in the history of science and technology.A series of natural history books have been published,creating a publishing boom.Natural history books in China are experiencing growth in numbers and genre with more accurate segmentation in themes,indicating that the natural history publication trade is going to mature.By genre,most natural history books are primary,focusing on basic knowledge about birds,animals,and plants,while the secondary books focusing on the historical and theoretical study of natural history make up only a small portion.In the early 20th century,natural history books saw a boom driven by peoples’enthusiastic pursuit of science.Today,natural history books follow the tides of building an ecological civilization,reaching out to the domain of“natural history and the public.”There will be broad prospects for books featuring“natural history+,”such as“natural history+painting,”“natural history+literature,”“natural history+food,”and“natural history+tourism.”

18世纪法国的书籍生产与思想转变再思考

18世纪是书籍出版趋向繁荣的时代,包括小册子在内的大量印刷读物进入法国人的日常文化生活,法国社会整体的思想气候也发生了根本性转变。因此在关于旧制度与大革命的学术史中,长期以来一直普遍认为,启蒙书籍是促成这种转变的根本原因。但是如果转换历史观察的视角,从社会政治面相角度透视18世纪中期的法国,此时启蒙大潮方兴,而法国社会整体的思想气候实际上已经发生了转变。可能的实情是,启蒙时代理性精神和批判思维的成长,并非启蒙书籍流播教化的产物,而是中世纪晚期以来西欧文明史一种持续性发展趋势的结果。文艺复兴、宗教改革、科学革命乃至启蒙运动,只是这一进程中一个个突出而显见的节点而已。18世纪来临的书籍时代与启蒙大潮,只能说是在广度上扩展、在高度上提升了该趋势。由于革命主角们从此前时代的著作及其倡导的思想原则中寻找话语来源,让人感觉是启蒙制造了革命,但实际上,革命爆发的直接原因,是近代法兰西国家建构中留下的政治性和制度性的积弊。

“古书诗书多互称”说辩证

《墨子》《战国策》《吕氏春秋》等书引《诗》之文句而称“书”、引《书》之文句而称“诗”,以及不见于今传《诗》《书》的同一文句在被古书引用时或称“诗”或称“书”的现象,孙诒让以“古书诗书多互称”之说作解,以往学者又有讹误说、“书”为五经总名说、“诗”非《诗经》文本之专名说、所引文句同出一源而分采入“诗”“书”之说等。本文从先秦时人所称“诗”之含义以及“诗”“书”之间存在交集等复杂情况出发,逐一考察具体用例,广搜古书中类似文句以为参照,探究所谓“诗书互称”现象背后的原因。

中国中古音乐史研究的“新感受力”——评《伎乐与乐伎:中古音乐的历史映像》

作为中国音乐断代史之一的中古音乐史,其具有不同一般的时空维度和“中世性”的历史文化特质。夏滟洲的《伎乐与乐伎—中古音乐的历史映像》,以新的学术视域、学术术语和学科范式,将公元3~9世纪的中国中古音乐制度、音乐人、音乐活动、文化区域等历史事项,置于历时性与共时性相交互的学术场域,集中研究中古音乐的主体—伎乐与乐伎的历史变迁和文化特质,构建了中国中古音乐新的“历史映像”,显示出有别于同类研究的“新感受力”和学术张力。

古代文学研究的新领域——中国文集日本写本的收藏、整理与研究

域外汉籍中存在着大量中国典籍的汉文写本。这些写本或为中国失传的文献,或与传世之本多有差异。域外汉文写本可以成为中国古代文学研究的新领域,其中中国文集日本写本与古代文学研究的关系最为密切。中国文集日本写本在日本公立图书馆、大学图书馆、公私文库、寺院以及个人手中皆有收藏。自江户时代开始,学者就已经注意到这批文献的价值,《佚存丛书》《古逸丛书》《京都帝国大学文学部景印旧钞本》等丛书中皆有收录。晚近以来,学术界对中国文集日本写本也进行了整理与研究,但仍有大量文献未进入研究视野。应尽快展开对中国文集日本写本全面的调查、编目与叙录,并从“东亚汉文写本学”与书籍史的角度对其进行整体研究,同时深入对五山时代中国文集汉文“抄物”写本的研究。

贵州汉族移民史研究述评

学术界关于贵州移民史之阶段划分颇有争论,四阶段说、五阶段说、六次迁移说是主流。关于汉族移民入黔之原因、类型与特点分析,普遍认为与中央王朝经营贵州之政策走向有关,一些学者详细分析了历代入黔汉族移民类型、方式及特点,进而关注汉族移民入黔人口数量、分布等问题。入黔汉族移民与土著民族交往与文化互渗、汉族少数民族化、认同贵州文化等,是学者比较关注的话题。由此,一些学者分析汉族移民给贵州带来文化、政治、经济等方面的诸多积极影响,以及因此触发的一些族群之间的矛盾冲突与调适问题。
