A Study of the Play-Element in Culture

《临高启明》是起点群体历史穿越小说的一件精品。本书原来是音速论坛（后改名为上班族论坛）的一场讨论——如果群体穿越，哪里最适合作为穿越者的基地？本书衍生于陆双鹤的《迷失在一六二九》，与同样衍生的《一六二二》，被圈内人士戏称为“临高三屠”，但是因为作者创作理念与论坛坛友三观相冲突、小说停止更新、论坛坛友大转移等原因，至今仍然受到论坛技术支持的仅有《临高启明》。
《临高启明》的特点用一位书友的评价可以窥得一斑：起点的历史穿越小说千千万，但是起点的穿越说明书却只有《临高启明》。虽然把《临高启明》称为穿越说明书是有点对这小说有点不公平——毕竟《临高启明》的剧情依然算得上优秀。但是这也确实概括出了《临高启明》的特点——在技术方面，当今的穿越网络小说无人能出其右。这本书没有一些三流“种田”小说那样“主角嘴皮子一碰，工厂就出现了，马克沁机枪就到军队了，汽车就满街跑了”对工业建设的天真看法。《临高启明》背后是整整一个论坛的、来自于全国各行各业坛友的技术支持。通过观赏《临高启明》，读者可以认识到白手建立起大工业生产的艰辛和困难。即使是被称为“穿越神器”的玻璃、纸张、白糖。在《临高启明》之中也提出了许多作者以前都没有发现的在手工作坊条件下难以克服的技术困难。对这些困难的描写和克服，大大地提高了《临高启明》中工业建设的真实性和可靠性。

本书为中国传统色彩的专题研究，重点研究的是中国传统色彩系统观念的自然演化、目的性设计以及与此相关的中国传统色彩运用、观念演化过程中的色彩事件。通过从中国历代史料及出土文物、古代图像出发，寻求一种有关“中国传统色彩系统观念的文化想象”，并由此探讨中国传统色彩系统观念的可能成因及建构机制。本书的目的在于试图梳理出一个中国传统色彩系统观念的基础成因，也因此在所涉及的时段选择上，从基础生成的先秦出发经由秦汉、两晋南北朝以至中国传统文化最终成型的唐、宋时期。
中国传统色彩的运用有着一个华夏文化强烈影响下的以观念介入为主导的色彩系统的存在。色彩系统的建构中有着极为明确的政治、伦理、文化目的性。这些都体现在了最初的五方正色和间色的观念性色彩系统的基础成型，并由此被纳入五行观念之中，更因此以五德终始说介入到了有关王朝更替的历史进程中。在这过程之中，五行色彩的象征意义因为王朝更替时的政治考虑产生了一个影响深刻的由革命的“五行相克”到禅让的“五行相生”的观念转换，这可以说是中国思想史、造物史的一个重要事件。而与此同时并存的是作为色彩系统的建构模式中正色和间色的身份转换现象的存在。即没有一个色彩的伦理身份是稳固不动的，在适当的情况的下，间色和正色之间是可以发生身份转换的，比如在历时性色彩系统“天玄地黄（纁）”以及共时性的“五方正色--间色”的关系中，高等级系统的“正”和低等级系统的“间”使得作为个体色彩的“五方正色”自动地转换成为了“间色”。同样的情况也出现在了宋明帝“紫衣红裳”的冕服色彩运用以及由隋唐开始的等级色彩进一步强调下的品官服色制度上。在这种状况底下，色彩的运用在生活世界中产生了围绕着等级色彩的“禁僭”现象，而与此同时就是那些在禁用之外的色彩的繁盛发展，也就是所谓的更低等级色彩“间色之间色”的存在，它们于是呈现在了诗歌、文学、绘画、生活器用的色彩表现上。
中国的传统色彩运用的核心就是“观念”，色彩观念在这里是一种目的性设计，并由此形成了一种独立的色彩系统观念，而中国传统色彩也由此获得了独立于西方色彩体系之外的身份存在。

In The Professor in the Cage (2015), professor Jonathan Gottschall enters the world of mixed martial arts to discover the sources of our fascination with violence. Through the power of modern science and by applying the weight of human history, these blinks reveal how our love of fighting is grounded in our deepest human instincts.

《玄学与理学的学术思想理路研究》着重探讨玄学与理学的学术脉络与思想理路，显然主要是采用“内在理路”的解释方法，说明玄学与理学的内在关联，笔者认为，思想文化产生、演进的“内在理路”总是在一定社会条件下产生的，我们所探讨的，是一种社会历史“外缘条件”下演变、发展的“内在理路”。但是，《玄学与理学的学术思想理路研究》着重探讨思想文化演进的内在理路，因为这确是一件做得不够但有着重要意义的工作，特别是对我们思考中华文化如何能够形成一个源远流长的独特系统，具有十分重要的学术价值。

九世紀半ば、北・中央アジアでは、唐・ウイグル・吐蕃の三大帝国の勢力が弱まって真空状態が生じ、多くの遊牧民が一斉に活動を開始した。本書は、なかでも勢威をふるったキタイ（契丹＝遼）国について、遼代史の専門家である著者が初めて一般読者を対象に書き下ろした書である。1993年刊行書籍を組版・装幀を改めた新装版で、著者が還暦に記した「回想」と、「島田正郎先生の横顔――『契丹国』再刊に寄せて」（岡野誠）を付す。
●編著者のことば
この国の法や制度、とりわけ政教の拠り所を固有の民族祭に求め、なかでその進行をシャマン出身の国の「巫」にゆだね、意識的に「郊祀」を排撃したこの国を、中国王朝の系列のなかに置くことが、果して許されるであろうか。私は自説の少数意見にすぎないことを十分承知しながら、なおかつ執拗にこの国を中国王朝の系列外の存在、「胡族国家」と位置づけたい……　（「あとがき」より）

Votive objects or ex-votos are a broad category of material artifacts produced with the intention of being offered as acts of faith. Common across historical periods, religions, and cultures, they are presented as tokens of gratitude for prayers answered, as well as the physical manifestation of hopes and anxieties. Agents of Faith explores votive offerings in the context of material culture, art history, and religious studies to better understand their history and present-day importance. By looking at what humans have chosen to offer in their votive transactions, this volume uncovers their most intimate moments in life and questions the nature, role, and function of one of the most fundamental aspects of the relationship between people and things—the imbuing of objects with sentiment. Encompassing exquisite works of art as well as votives of humble origin and material, with objects dating from 2000 B.C. to the twenty-first century, the beautiful illustrations and wide-ranging text expose the global reach of votive practices and the profoundly personal nature behind their creation.

Scholar-officials of late medieval China were not only enthusiastic in amateur storytelling, but also showed unprecedented interest in recording stories on different aspects of literati life. These stories appeared in diverse forms, including narrative poems, "tales of the marvelous," "records of the strange," historical miscellanies, and transformation texts. Through storytelling, literati explored their own changing place in a society that was making its final transition from hereditary aristocracy to a meritocracy ostensibly open to all. Literati Storytelling shows how these writings offer crucial insights into the reconfiguration of the Chinese elite, which monopolized literacy, social prestige, and political participation in imperial China.

This study of the world of scholarship and scholarly texts in the Renaissance, the so-called respublica literaria, affords insights into the intellectual infrastructure and modes of thought of the period by its examination of contemporary attitudes towards women. It addresses the questions: What is the notion of woman to be found in Renaissance texts, and how does it evolve? What is the relationship between the notion of woman and that of sex difference, and how is sex difference related in turn to other differences and to the concept of difference itself? Theology, medicine, ethics, politics, and law are examined in succeeding chapters. The threads of the investigation are then drawn together and Dr Maclean shows how the notion of woman was influenced by both forces of conservatism and forces which fostered change, forces which were to be found both inside the confines of intellectual life and beyond them. The final section offers a context for the understanding of European Renaissance feminism and sketches its connections with social and political evolution, humanist scholarship, religious thought and finally problems of language and expression.

Jacques Le Goff is a prominent figure in the tradition of French medieval scholarship, profoundly influenced by the "Annales" school, notably, Bloch, Febvre, and Braudel, and by the ethnographers and anthropologists Mauss, Dumezil, and Levi-Strauss. In building his argument for "another Middle Ages" ("un autre moyen age"), Le Goff documents the emergence of the collective "mentalite "from many sources with scholarship both imaginative and exact.

《博物志》是张华编纂的中国第一部博物学著作，底本为黄丕烈士礼居刊本，共十卷，分类记载了山川地理、飞禽走兽、人物传记、神话古史、神仙方术等。为继《山海经》后，中国又一部包罗万象的奇书，填补了中国自古无博物类书籍的空白。在中国小说史上具有不可磨灭的地位，对后世小说的发展有一定的影响。
《续博物志》体例与《博物志》大体相似，其内容的收录范围较《博物志》有所拓展。因“张华述地理，自以禹所未志，且天官所多遗”，故卷首首论“天象”，然后由天地推及山海，进而推及人物，另对动植物、医药等内容也有所涉猎。

Under the Song Dynasty, China experienced rapid commercial growth and monetization of the economy. In the same period, the austere ethical turn that led to neo-Confucianism was becoming increasingly prevalent in the imperial bureaucracy and literati culture. Tracing the influences of these trends in Chinese intellectual history, All Mine! explores the varied ways in which eleventh-century writers worked through the conflicting values of this new world.
Stephen Owen contends that in the new money economy of the Song, writers became preoccupied with the question of whether material things can bring happiness. Key thinkers returned to this problem, weighing the conflicting influences of worldly possessions and material comfort against Confucian ideology, which locates true contentment in the Way and disdains attachment to things. In a series of essays, Owen examines the works of writers such as the prose master Ouyang Xiu, who asked whether tranquility could be found in the backwater to which he had been exiled; the poet and essayist Su Dongpo, who was put on trial for slandering the emperor; and the historian Sima Guang, whose private garden elicited reflections on private ownership. Through strikingly original readings of major eleventh-century figures, All Mine! inquires not only into the material conditions of happiness but also the broader conditions of knowledge.

Self-Cultivation in Early China is an introduction to multiple aspects of the foundational practice of self-cultivation in early China (c.1000 to 100 BCE). Drawing on the Chinese classics and the dozens of scholars' texts (both received and excavated) that together form the basis of intellectual history for China and all of East Asia, the book's analysis relies on the topics and categories that were central to the thought of these authors, including such well-known thinkers as Confucius and Laozi. This book describes a salient point of view from which we may consider the broader landscape of Chinese intellectual history and presents an important paradigm of the scholarly Chinese worldview that is ideal for comparison with paradigms in other communities, ancient or modern, across the globe.
Although there is a long tradition of self-cultivation in China and East Asia, this is the first book-length work to discuss this important issue in Chinese cultural history, thus offering a unique contribution to our understanding of early China. Fischer combines sophisticated scholarly research with an accessible introduction to a multilayered audience, including scholars in the field, undergraduate students, and general readers. -- Jianjun He, translator of Spring and Autumn Annals of Wu and Yue: An Annotated Translation of Wu Yue Chunqiu
