新出“宗人”諸器所反映的西周宗族關係, Wei Han

嶺南學報 Lingnan Journal of Chinese Studies

新見流散西周青銅器中，有一組與名爲“宗人”的貴族相關的銅器，包括宗人簋兩件、伯或父鼎（作器者實爲“宗人”）一件、叔安父簋一件、孝簋一件、叔友簋兩件。這組銅器年代在西周中期後段，銘文内容涉及西周世族的内部結構以及大、小宗之間的關係，十分重要。銘文記録“伯或父（伯氏）”、“凡姬”和“叔安父”先後賞賜“宗人”和“孝（叔友）”，或爲他們製作祭器。本文首先分析銅器銘文中記録的人物關係，指出“伯或父”爲該家族大宗宗子，“凡姬”爲其夫人，是出身“周公之胤”凡氏家族的女子。“叔安父”應爲“伯或父”之世子。“宗人”是“伯或父”的小宗侄輩，“孝（叔友）”則是“宗人”的親兄弟。由此可見，西周時期世族内部的大宗和小宗之間保持着嚴格的宗法關係，在政治、經濟和祭祀等諸方面，小宗都服從於大宗，並從大宗獲取資源支持。而且大宗宗子的夫人（宗婦）和世子（法定繼承人）都在族内享有一定的支配權。這些都深化了我們對西周家族形態和宗法制度的認識。

談談戰國文字中用爲“野”的“冶”字, Ping'an Zhao

嶺南學報 Lingnan Journal of Chinese Studies

戰國文字中有一個從“土”從“爪”的字，長期以來得不到正確的釋讀。本文比較系統地梳理了該字的研究歷史，分析了該字的相關用例，特别是新出簡帛資料，認爲應釋爲野。從來源上講，很可能是冶的假借改造字。

中國古墓爲何隨葬書籍, Hua Yang

嶺南學報 Lingnan Journal of Chinese Studies

中國古墓中出土大量書籍，是上古葬俗的反映。在喪葬禮制的初期，它們被埋入墓中，可能與墓主的身份、職業、興趣有直接關係，但後來相沿成俗，便變得關係不大了，大多是舉喪時臨時抄寫的文本。喪家可能並不在意入葬文本的性質和完整性，而只是在意是否隨葬了“書”，對葬書禮俗的重視反而超過了對文獻本身的重視。所以纔會出現重複文本、摘抄選抄、補綴書寫、空白簡等現象。不同時期人間社會流行的書籍，在“陰間”墓葬中都會得到反映。

戰國工官屬吏中的成童 : 再談三晉銘刻中所見“孺子”的身份, Yongbing Guo

嶺南學報 Lingnan Journal of Chinese Studies

本文結合《陝西金文集成》著録的春成孺子鼎和邵陰下官銅箍銘文，對戰國文字資料中與斠量器物有關的“孺子”的身份再次進行了探討，否定了過去對三晉銘刻中所見的部分“孺子”身份的判斷，認爲這些“孺子”是工官中負責諸如器物檢定斠量等輔助工作的成童，與戰國文字資料中的“敖童/敖史”、“馬童”身份接近，或可類比。文末附帶談了燕國的“郭大夫甗”，懷疑所謂“郭”字可能也應改釋“乳”，並對器物自名作了研究。

據出土文獻説“懸諸日月而不刊”及相關問題, Jian Chen

嶺南學報 Lingnan Journal of Chinese Studies

今日尚常用之成語“懸諸日月而不刊”，一般解釋作“和日月一同懸掛在天空，永不磨滅”之類。此語出自西漢末揚雄《答劉歆書》，可追溯到《管子·白心》“縣乎日月無已也”。“縣（懸）”如字解非其原意。從秦漢出土文獻的字形、用字習慣和有關辭例來看，“縣”原本應解作緜延之“緜（綿）”。“緜”字本自“縣”字分化而來，兩字在漢代曾長期共用某些字形而未徹底分化開；東漢碑刻中有“緜之日月，與金石存”（婁壽碑），“功綿日月，名勒管弦”（帝堯碑）等辭例，與“縣（緜）諸日月”可相印證。古書校勘中的“縣”“緜（綿）”糾葛問題，王念孫多已指出；今據本文的分析，還可進一步揭示出更多先秦古書和漢代簡帛中一些應讀爲“緜”的“縣”字，糾正舊説之誤。

前言, Gang Xu

嶺南學報 Lingnan Journal of Chinese Studies

作爲現代學術的中國古代文史研究，是從民國時候的羅王之學開始的。現代文史之學的開拓和進展，一直是跟出土文獻的發現緊密結合在一起的。胡適、顧頡剛、傅斯年、陳寅恪，民國時候的諸多大師，都非常强調新材料的發現和使用。中央研究院建立歷史語言研究所，也是以殷墟的發掘和研究爲支柱的，從此纔有了中國現代的考古學。２０ 世紀下半葉以來，新的發現層出不窮，極大地豐富了我們對秦漢以前的早期中國社會的認識，這是非常令人振奮的。由於出土文獻内容的豐富性和重要性，它就像一個巨大的漩渦，把各個研究領域的優秀學者吸引過來，形成了一股浩蕩的沿流(drift)，奔流成河。

這是一個學科重組的時代，很多傳統學科的邊界都已經模糊，面臨着與其它學科之間的交叉滲透。研究者相互之間的合作和交流顯得越來越迫切。出土文獻涉及古代社會的各個方面，它本身就是一個學科開放的研究對象，尤其需要不同領域的學者之間的切磋和協作。本輯的十二篇論文，雖然只是這條大河中激起的幾朵浪花，但是它們各有自己的姿態，各有自己的衝擊力，從不同的側面，突顯了出土文獻研究的特點和現狀。

"Establishing Xiang To Fully Express Idea" And Chinese Aesthetic Culture, Dakang Ma

Theoretical Studies in Literature and Art

"Daxiang (great image)" and "Xiangwang (beings without trace)" are a state of "Non-Objectivity". Through imitation and imagination, the relationship between human and nature is transformed from object relationship to non-object relationship, which ultimately leads to human understanding of "Tao". This is the meaning of "establishing Xiang to fully express idea". "Yixiang (image)", "Yijing (ideo-mood-imagery)" and "Jingjie (state or realm)" are the fields composed of "Xiang" and "Daxiang", which can be called "Xiang-Daxiang". "Xiang-Daxiang" is the cell of the Chinese aesthetic culture and it produces the unique character of Chinese aesthetic culture, and also determines the unique way of thinking and …

Aesthetics Of Translocality And Crossmediality In Isaac Julien's Ten Thousand Waves, Yingjin Zhang

Theoretical Studies in Literature and Art

This article examines translocality and crossmediality as new developments in cinema and visual studies. Isaac Julien's 9-screen video installation Ten Thousand Waves (2010) represents a migratory aesthetics based on translocal evocation, crossmedial interaction, and mobile spectatorship. As Julien reconstructs the legend of Mazu and memories of Shanghai in radically different modes (e. g., the idyllic versus the phantasmagoric, the nostalgic versus the post-nostalgic), their screen images and sounds enter a constant circulation and produce intriguing multi-directional, multi-spatial, and multi-temporal dissonance/resonances across different media and genres — cinema, art photography, video installation, police rescue footage, calligraphy, poetry, painting, and star performance. …

Formal Aesthetics Of Ballads: Ideas Of Literary Language In The Chinese Ballad Campaign, Chengzhu Cao

Theoretical Studies in Literature and Art

Although the language of ballad seems simple and unadorned, its specific formal skills and overall idea of form run through the whole text, where its important literary value lies. It not only has a set of internal formal rules, but also shows a close association with daily spoken language, dialect, and ancient Chinese poetry. Therefore, what is worthy to learn for the New Literature is not wonderful words or sentences in a ballad, or its simple and natural language style or strong feelings expressed for ordinary people, but its formal rules. These rules not only provide useful reference and nourishment …

History In Round Numbers: Why One Hundred?, Prendergast Christopher

Theoretical Studies in Literature and Art

This article is about the practice of dividing historical and literary-historical time into units of 100 years, with a particular focus on the semantics of the French term "siècle". It examines how in the course of what we now call the seventeenth century the term "siècle" shifted in meaning from "age" or "epoch" to the round number 100. It contextualizes the shift with reference to the great Quarrel of the Ancients and the Moderns, while also reflecting on the implications and consequences of a counterfactual alternative to modern historical chronology.

The Literati Purport Of Jiazhuan And Theoretical Reflection On Its Ideas Of "Using Literature As Play", Xiaoju Huang, Weiguo Zhao

Theoretical Studies in Literature and Art

A relatively independent type of ancient Chinese prose, jiazhuan was biographies written anthropomorphically for objects. Han Yu's Biography of Mao Ying written in the Tang dynasty marked the beginning of jiazhuan, followed by numerous parodies in the Song and Ming dynasties. Such prose, written by the literati at leisure for entertainment, embodied their refined aesthetic taste. This article argues that jiazhuan was an expression in the form of games, which displayed writers' talent. Thus perceived, just like "writing is for conveying truth", "using literature as play" became an important and necessary literary stance for the literati to divert themselves from …

The Tradition Of "Good Writing" And The Narrative Of Ming-Qing Marvel Tales, Cui He

Theoretical Studies in Literature and Art

The pursuit of "good writing" is a long and profound tradition among Chinese literati, who demonstrate their talent, knowledge and accomplishment by writing various types of literary works. Among them, the unique Ming-Qing marvel tales as a kind of ancient Chinese drama mostly represent national characters. However, as the marvel tale is a narrative art, there must be certain tension between the "good writing" tradition and the drama narrative, which is reflected in both speeches and songs. Songs, often desktop-oriented, tend to be conventionalized and detached from or even in conflict with characters. Speeches are often used for characters' opening …

A Review Of Yan'S, Bao's And The Xies' Poetry And Fang Hui's Poetics Of The Six Dynasties, Houjun Zhao

Theoretical Studies in Literature and Art

A Review of Yan's, Bao's and the Xies' Poetry was written in Fang Hui's old age, which contains his views on the literature of the Six Dynasties. In his review, Fang Hui adopted the Jian'an Style and Jian'an Flavor as the criteria. Jian'an poetry excelled in the poetic style featuring the classic style of qiyun (aura) and wild abandon with strong and vigorous emotions, which were derived from the conviction that verses written in simple style are better than parallel sentences. Besides, writers preferred expressing emotions than depicting scenery. In these aspects, Yan's, Bao's and the Xies' poetry were not …

Assisted by the concept of the "Meaning Triad", Lady Welby's …

International Politics Of Literary Theory: A Study Of Western Theory As Doctrines And A Discipline, Jinghua Lin

Theoretical Studies in Literature and Art

The event of the publication of René Wellek and Austin Warren's Theory of Literature (1949) signals that European literary criticism was transformed rapidly into literary theory by American scholars. To be more specific, from then on, British New Criticism that emphasized close reading was replaced by American New Criticism that valorized analysis of semantic structure, and Russian formalism was rediscovered and reactivated in this process. Afterwards, more theoretical schools sprang up, such as semiotics, structuralism, hermeneutics, post-structuralism, deconstructionism, and so on. And along with the scientific literary theory, many other theories, like Western Marxist criticism, feminism, gender studies, new historicism, …

Shakespeare's "World History": J. G. Herder's "Sturm Und Drang" Drama Theory And The Radical Enlightenment, Qing Feng

Theoretical Studies in Literature and Art

Influenced by Johann Gottfried Herder and Johann Wolfgang von Goethe, the German "Sturm und Drang" movement regarded William Shakespeare as a model of gifted drama poets. Viewing Shakespeare as a "genius" in imagination for the possible "world history", Herder applied pantheistic philosophy to his drama theory and developed a concept of radical enlightenment. Comparing Herder's view with Gotthold Ephraim Lessing's interpretation of Shakespeare as well as his Aristotelian enlightenment dramatic idea, a great difference can be revealed: Lessing aimed to cultivate civic morality, while Herder intended to evoke the Volk's passion towards freedom and political action.
