Natural Color and Philosophical Color
A Study on the Origin of the Theory of the Relation between Colors and Directions in China
Feng Shi (Institute of Archaeology, CASS)
Within the context of traditional Chinese culture, color is not only a natural phenomenon that may be exploited by artists, but also the touchstone for a unique theory that related the colors to the five directions, and further coordinating them with space, time, the constellations, the Five Elements (wuxing), yin&yang, etc. In a spatial frame of reference, the Five Colors--green, red, white, black, and yellow--could represent the Five Directions--east, south, west, north, and center; in a temporal frame of reference, they symbolized the Four Seasons--spring, summer, autumn, and winter; in an astrological frame of reference, they could describe the directional symbols--the dragon, bird, tiger and the xuanwu (a turtle with a snake slung around it); in an alchemical frame of reference, they were equivalent to the Five Elements--wood, fire, metal, water, and earth; and in a philosophical frame of reference, they could stand for the opposing forces of yin and yang. By setting up the internal relationships with the system of time and space through color, the theory of relations between directions and colors involved all factors of traditional Chinese culture. It acquired great importance from its concern with the establishment of traditional institutions of politics and sacrifice. The earliest record of the theory in historical documents is found in the Zhou Li (no earlier than about the 5th century BC), whereas archaeological materials provide far more ancient clues. For instance, during the period of the Hongshan Culture, some 5500 years ago, the theory of relations between directions and colors can be shown to have already existed in a rather mature form. This research focuses on exploring the origin of the traditional theory of relations between directions and colors in China based on the integration of archaeological and historical materials.

Some Traces of the Imperial Art from the Late Western Han and Early Eastern Han Periods
Miao Zhe (Zhejiang University)
Every empire has its imperial art. The Han dynasty is no exception. Han dynasty imperial art consisted mainly of decorations of palaces and mausoleums built of clay and wood. With their destruction in the third century AD, this imperial art was lost forever.
This lecture attempts to recover some traces of the imperial art of the period spanning the late Western Han and early Eastern Han (approximately from the first century BC to the first century AD) from both contemporary texts and archaeological materials. Pieced together, these traces present a picture of a type of art that was completely new to Chinese art history: an art that may be characterized as pictorial in form and Confucian in subject matter.

评论：“别把我们当成外国人”- 侨民证牵住海外华人心 |
|
|
就侨民证的问题的3点看法:
海外华人应通过自我教育，充分认识到侨民证的实施所具有的裨益。海外华人首先需要了解20世纪50年代中国政府不承认双重国籍的历史背景，并比较现在和当时的不同历史背景，完成自我教育的过程，自己说服自己，在内心深处认识到实施侨民证对海外华人和中国的裨益。
海外华人应在力所能及的范围之内影响中国政府官员，推进侨民证的实施进程。如果全球5000多万海外华人能够在意识到实施侨民证的裨益之后，每人都能影响一位中国政府的决策人士，那会形成非常大的合力，从而在实质上推动中国政府尽早实施侨民证。这样的推动同样会有助于在中国社会形成共识，国务院各有关部门在具体落实侨民证方面就会有很好的民意基石。
中国政府在具体实施侨民证之前，一定需要足够的时间来考量，权衡各种利弊得失。现在全世界共有5000多万海外华人，在资金、科技、文化等方面都会对中国有很大的促进作用，但却要花费很多时间在户口、孩子入学、开车、买房等问题上，影响了这些海外华人在中国作出更大的贡献。中国政府若要善用这样绝无仅有的人才资源，在现有不承认双重国籍的现状下，已经意识到实施侨民证的趋势，这一点很重要，但真要落实起来，必须把实施侨民证的各种利害关系都考虑到，经过一个严谨的论证过程，若有办法把实施侨民证的好处最大化、坏处降到最低，那中国政府就会开始采取实质行动。其中现行的中国绿卡制度应考虑发行量要更大，发行的范围要更广，并形成中国的永久居留权制度，并根据不同国家的具体情况区别对待等。

中国姓氏人口数量 & 姓氏排行榜
