话说“急须”

周作人在《鲁迅的故家》中写鲁迅在东京的饮茶习惯时说:“鲁迅在写作时,习惯随时喝茶,又要开水。所以他的房间里,与别人不同,就是三伏天,也还要火炉:这是一个炭钵,外有方形木匣,炭中放着铁三脚架,以便安放开水壶。茶壶照例只是急须,与潮人喝工夫茶相仿,泡一壶茶只可二三人各为一杯罢了。因此屡次加水,不久淡了,便须更换新茶叶。”     

诸葛氏溯源

关于“诸葛”一姓的来源，大体上有三种说法：一是《世本》卷三《氏姓篇》云：“有熊氏之后为詹葛氏，其后齐人语讹，以詹葛为诸葛。”“詹葛”一作“瞻葛”，该文并举例说：“宋景公时有大夫瞻葛祁。”     

是姓探源

是姓，是已有1800年历史的姓氏，《中国姓氏大全》将其列为“罕见姓”。据统计，目前全国是姓人口约有8000余人，许多县、市没有此姓，而在常州及其邻近的无锡、江阴、宜兴等地，是姓人口约有4000多人，可见常州的是姓为全国是姓人口的50％。     

“狗屁不通”出于前人作文批语

"狗屁不通"本是一句詈语,商务版《成语大词典》的释义是:"形容说话或写文章在逻辑或语法上极不通顺,也泛指对某些知识根本不懂,一窍不通。"词典的解释已延续多年,本无异议。但近年有人提出新解认为:"狗屁不通"其实是"狗皮不通"。其理由是:狗的皮肤没有汗腺,酷夏时只能伸出舌头来散发燥热。     

何姓探源

“东海家声远，庐江世泽长”，这是收藏在北京国家图书馆地方志和家谱中心内《庐江何氏大同宗谱》扉页上的联语。它告诉世人：华夏何氏，源于安徽庐江．     

Mundi: articulating a post-Umbrella common(s)

ABSTRACT

This paper shares the experiences of an emergent collective of young intellectuals in Hong Kong and its recent project, Mundi, which consists of publication, activist research and communal transmission of knowledge. The project negotiates the notion and practice of “common” at the limit, from within the historical experience of Hong Kong, between academia and public intellectuals, global universalism and local particularism, and colonial knowledge and everyday urban practice. Affected by an intense desire to analyse and theorise the reality of Hong Kong, Mundi engages in a long process of decolonising knowledge production. The paper also explores how Mundi responds to the demand of the present post-Umbrella Hong Kong situation by problematising and re-articulating the common.

呼麥與胡笳:中古時代的喉音藝術——對繁欽《與魏文帝箋》的音樂學闡釋

柏拉圖(Platon,前427-前347)說:"節奏與和聲根植於靈魂深處."①當我初次聽到呼麥(Throat Singing)之聲和胡笳之音的時候,我感到自己的心靈受到了强烈的震撼.     

Bridging (Identification) divides: Ethnic minority endorsement of new diversity ideologies

In culturally diverse societies, ethnic minorities are faced with the challenge of negotiating between their national and ethnic identification. Diversity ideologies address this challenge in different ways, by prioritizing national identification in the case of assimilation, and ethnic identification in the case of multiculturalism. However, existing research has highlighted the risks and drawbacks of both ideologies, presenting polyculturalism and interculturalism as new alternatives which construe identities as more complex, dynamic, and interconnected between groups. Given that little is known about these ideologies from the minority perspective, the present study investigated their endorsement among ethnic minorities, as well as associations with their ethnic and national identification in the USA. Results show that, in general, pro-diversity ideologies (multiculturalism, interculturalism, and polyculturalism) are all supported by ethnic minorities, in contrast to assimilation. Moreover, ethnic identification is associated with support for multiculturalism, national identification is associated with support for assimilation, and both are associated with polyculturalism. For interculturalism, associations with ethnic and national identification depend on its subcomponents, which seem to address and bring together the other three ideologies. Interculturalism may therefore be a promising way forward to minimize the risks of assimilation, multiculturalism, and polyculturalism, while also maximizing their benefits to minorities and societies at large.
