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.”

A Study on the Metaphorical Translation of Pound’s Book of Songs from the Perspective of Cognitive Linguistics

The Book of Songs is the first collection of Poems in China,which is a very important milestone in the history of Chinese literature.There are abundant metaphorical expressions in The Book of Songs,providing valuable resources for linguistics,rhetoric and literature research.This study selects the most representative metaphors of women and marriage in The Book of Songs as the research object.Guided by Lakoff and Johnson’s conceptual metaphor theory,this study explores the metaphorical translation in Pound’s Book of Songs from the perspective of cognitive effect.It is found that Pound mainly adopts the translation strategies of vehicle equivalence,vehicle conversion and metaphor to simile in the process of translating female metaphors and marriage metaphors in The Book of Songs.

Classical poetry is a kind of special classical literature with highly concise language,rich emotion,profound implication and certain rhythm.The development of poetry translation is related to the spread of Chinese classical culture.There are many opinions about translatability and Untranslatability of poetry translation.The translation of meaning is relatively easy,while the rhetoric technique closely related to the form of expression is more difficult,which is the key to express the poet's feelings.There⁃fore,this paper aims to explore the untranslatability of onomatopoeia in poetry by combining with the Book of Songs.

Reacting to Epidemics:The Innovative Imperial Public Health System during the Late Northern Song Dynasty

Song China was a period in which China experienced a great increase in its population.Concurrently,the Song dynasty also experienced a rise in the frequency of epidemics and two major wars with the Western Xia and Liao dynasties during the 1000s and 1040s.The consequences of these changes were exacerbated by the increased geographical mobility of certain social groups such as traders and examinees attending civil service examinations.Thus,casualties of wars,epidemics,or disease,especially of people whose families were far away and could not care for them were left without care and“their corpses often lay bare along the roads.”This new social environment created a need for general relief.The Northern Song government(960-1127 CE),especially during the reign of Emperor Huizong,established an innovative public health system to address this issue.The public health system included poorhouses,public hospitals,and pauper’s cemeteries.The first were more of charity organizations,whereas the latter two promoted public health by providing medical services for the poor and burial for those that nobody cared for.In terms of rationale behind these institutions,on the one hand,they constituted an attempt to get the poor and homeless off the streets while providing them relief or burial.On the other hand,it seems that Huizong’s deep concern with medicine propelled him to design and implement a comprehensive public health system oriented to prevent contagion and outbreak of epidemics.This article depicts the background,the organization,and the functions of the system.The article also discusses the conditions and reasons that gave rise to such a unique undertaking by the Northern Song government.

Lost Libraries:A Lesson for the Notion of World Literature

Literature,with its diverse and broad spectrum of platform,medium,and delivery,has long been an indicator of a civilization's culture.How the literature of various cultures was either preserved,lost,or shared has shaped the modern conception of World Literature.Libraries have been central to the collection,preservation,and access to literature throughout time,and their dependence on political and/or religious leadership has shaped the notion of"world literature"in fundamental ways.To increase awareness of marginalized literature and to broaden the understanding of World Literature is to seek out and share the lessons learned by librarians who all too frequently lost their libraries.

“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。

一咏三叹,由景至境——《诗经·国风》中自然景观展现特征及先民审美模式研究

《诗经》是我国诗歌史上举足轻重的存在,《国风》正是《诗经》的精华。在《国风》诗中,大量的诗歌涉及到了自然景观,而对于《诗经》的研究大多集中在文史哲领域,立足于风景园林学的相关研究较为匮乏,作为描写风景的最早诗篇尚未被研究颇为遗憾。因此将其作为研究重点,首先对《国风》中的自然景观要素进行提取、分类,分析其特点,得出其层次性和分时性的展现规律,以此为基础总结出先民既存型、演化型和类比型三种审美模式,即对中国人原生情感中的自然景观的感知方式和审美模式的溯源。寻找中国人对自然景观情感的原始表达,以及遗传意义,以期为现今的风景遗产保护与景观设计提供参考与启示。

“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。

《诗经》风诗叙事及其传统——《诗经》研读笔记之二

《诗经》十五国风,长短160首诗,记录着上古社会生活和周人情感活动的种种情况与风貌,它们同《诗经》中的史诗一样,贯穿着并构成了中国文学的抒(情)叙(事)传统。它们涉及的内容主要有恋爱家庭、农事生产、战争徭役、对统治者的美刺等几大方面。以往因为叙事一直受到忽视,风诗常被笼统称为抒情诗,中国文学也被说成是只有“一个抒情传统”。本文试取叙事视角,指出《诗经》风诗中不少篇章与历史记载可以互证,有的诗篇明显叙述一个故事(或个人经历),有的诗表面虽未直赋,却通过比兴、咏叹、对话、独白乃至写景抒情暗示出其背后实含一桩事情,从而切实地反映出生活的一角。这种“事在诗外”和抒叙浑融的现象是《诗经》风诗的重要艺术特色。运用叙事分析方法读诗,能够更全面细致地揭示抒情诗的丰富内涵,也更确切地理解中国文学从源头开始就贯穿着互惠博弈的抒叙两大传统,而绝非只有一个抒情传统。

《诗经·邶风·谷风》“伊余来塈”释义考辨

《邶风·谷风》是《诗经》中一首极富代表性的弃妇诗,作者以真实感人、凄凉哀婉的笔触叙写了自己被弃的孤独无助和悲痛欲绝,同时也侧面反映了丈夫的喜新厌旧和冷漠无情。然而,对于诗末“不念昔者,伊余来塈”一句中“塈”的释义,前贤时修却有不同见解。其中,以毛亨、王夫之、王引之、马瑞辰、于省吾、高亨、向熹等为代表,先后出现了“息也”“涂也”“怒也”“爱”“语词”“除去”“忌恨”等几种不同观点。对比众说,并结合诗文通篇的内容情感和前言后语的语义逻辑、相关诗篇的情感对比和“塈”字的具体用法来看,释“塈”为“爱”更契合诗意、允当可信。

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。

楚简诗类文献与孔子删《诗》

孔子删《诗》与否一直是《诗》学史上的一大难题,结合楚简中越来越多的诗类文献,并从古本《诗》的编集流传、孔子时《诗》的形态、主张删《诗》者的论据等角度看,孔子可能并未删《诗》。首先,古本《诗》的编集是一个渐进的过程,乐官最初对诗歌进入《诗》文本进行了一定的整理甚至删削,清华简《耆夜》中的《蟋蟀》和《周公之琴舞》等都启示这一点。其次,《诗》传到孔子时,整体框架等与今本《诗》差别应该不是很大。最后,《史记·孔子世家》所言“及至孔子,去其重,取可施于礼义”的说法有不合事实之处;“诗三百”不是专指孔子所删之《诗》而言,它与《诗》的含义不是对立的,而是大体一致的。总之,孔子并未删《诗》,只是进行了正乐、调整篇次等工作。
