许开祯《深宅活寡》 题记变革时代的女性命运大宅院:大宅院是中国长期封建统治的历史产物,它以一个小院落微缩了封建历史的各种人文、社会现象。文中的宅院,如同封建帝制,最终走向了破败,历史的车轮无法扭转,处于这个时代和这个宅院中的每个人,怀有各自不同的历史使命,和历史赋予他们的悲剧命运。乡情:真实:深意:书中的人物不同于以往的乡土文学中,大量充斥着纯朴的乡情,他们大多奸诈、邪恶,有着自身的个人使命和历史使命,他们在用各自的方式争取自身的利益,挥洒自己的人生,无论是谁,无论为何。此书由命旺而起,为让他这个下河院的继嗣者能重回康健之体,迎娶了在日后将下河院纳入股掌的近亲灯芯,这是下河院的亡羊补牢,这是下河院的引狼入室。取名命旺,为的是能使下河院香烟不断,为了让命旺能够身体强健,老东家庄地让奶妈仁顺嫂从小看护命旺,然而名为命旺命却不旺,本应抚育命旺成才的奶妈仁顺嫂却是此事的...
据俄国人传说,初雪这天在一块儿的恋人能白头到老,今年的莫斯科却没有给任何有情人一次在骤雪初歇时分、四下银装素裹空气清朗的散步的机会,所谓初雪在十月下旬足足下了一周,狂风暴雪,昏天黑地,长达六个月的冬季正式登场,整个俄国跟着莫斯科将钟拨慢一小时,是名副其实的冬时制,远东地区的人看两个时间——莫斯科时间与当地时间,胳膊上不至于戴两个表,火车站、广场之类的场所是有两个钟的。这样的坏天气,好人肯定能不出门就不出门。坏人我不太了解。此时正值歌剧院事件一周年,俄国人有自己的灾祸,不用颠颠跟着大老远地哭911,趁着下雪,俄国人也自动欺身进入了那个普遍化的、有时代替真知灼见的形象中:天寒地冻,压迫自上而下巨大而神秘,深坐蹙蛾眉,不知心恨谁——报纸上到处是大标题,诸如:“他们是怎么死的?”这件事上,他们哭起来也不像美国人那样因为自感无辜无缘无故而能呼天抢地痛痛快快,他们总感觉...
Eminent Victoriansby Lytton StracheyPrefaceTHE history of the Victorian Age will never be written; we knowtoo much about it. For ignorance is the first requisite of thehistorianignorance, which simplifies and clarifies, whichselects and omits, with a placid perfection unattainable by thehighest art. Concerning the Age which has just passed, ourfathers and our grandfathers have poured forth and accumulated sovast a quantity of information that the industry of a Ranke would...
THE CONEThe night was hot and overcast, the sky red, rimmed with thelingering sunset of mid-summer. They sat at the open window,trying to fancy the air was fresher there. The trees and shrubs ofthe garden stood stiff and dark; beyond in the roadway a gas-lamp burnt, bright orange against the hazy blue of the evening.Farther were the three lights of the railway signal against thelowering sky. The man and woman spoke to one another in low tones....

作为世界茶叶最重要的原产地,云南是茶叶最为古老的故乡。尽管在漫长的时光中,关于云南茶叶最初的记载,已经散失殆尽,但深藏在云南群山中数千年的古茶树群落,还是以自身顽强的生命,诉说着远古时代云南高原的那一片繁茂与葱茏。 在云南,大地至今还为我们保存着茶叶原初生长弥足珍贵的物证:西双版纳州勐海县巴达大黑山原始森林中的1700多年的野生“世界茶树王”,勐海南糯山上栽培型800多年的古茶树,思茅市镇沅彝族哈尼族拉祜族自治县千家寨野生型2700多年古茶树、澜沧拉祜族自治县邦崴村过渡型千年古茶树以及景迈栽培型千年万亩古茶林,都是茶树原产地的活化石,它们在形象地纪录着茶叶生长演变历史的同时,还无可辩驳地证实了世界三大饮料之一的茶,其最原始的故乡就在云南。 对于世界茶树原产地在何方?多年来中外学者仁者见仁,智者见智,众说纷纭。有的学者根据一些不完全的资料,认为原产地在印度,而越来越多...
