中华民国已过去了半个世纪。在上个世纪八十年代以前,民国史的研究还有不少的禁区,那时,我们所看到的"民国史",往往是不够完全不够准确不够客观的。这个原因就不必多谈了。八十年代以后,学术风气好转,民国史的研究也显得热闹起来,这是个可喜的现象。二十世纪的前五十年,中国的历史的确是纷纭复杂、波澜壮阔,其中,有中华民族与外国列强的矛盾,有汉族人民与满清统治者的矛盾,有资产阶级民主革命者与封建军阀的矛盾,有中央政权与地方势力的矛盾,有共产党与国民党的矛盾,有民主力量与独裁统治的矛盾......矛盾的激化,便产生战争。在上个世纪的前五十年,中国是无时不战,无地不战,战乱的结果,便是"英雄""豪杰"辈出。...
Guy Manneringby Sir Walter ScottINTRODUCTION TO GUY MANNERING.The Novel or Romance of WAVERLEY made its way to the public slowly, of course, at first, but afterwards with such accumulating popularity as to encourage the author to a second attempt. He looked about for a name and a subject; and the manner in which the novels were composed cannot be better illustrated than by reciting the simple narrative on which Guy Mannering was originally founded; but to which, in the progress of the work, the
《网游之真相》作者:千面帅菇正文 第一集第一章历年怪梦冷惊然瞬然从梦中惊醒,苦笑着摇了摇头,他还是没有明白这个陪伴了他8年多的怪梦到底有什么含义,是不是和他一直在追寻的身世有关?他从10岁那年就开始做这个梦。那是一个很奇怪的地方,有一条很宽的路,至少可以并排开20辆大卡车的路。整条路用一种他从没见过的材料铺成,散发着朦胧的七彩光芒,给人的感觉非常宁静,宁静中又透着一股威严。路的一边是一个一望无际的大平原,平原上有各种生物,这些生物他非但没见过,连想象都想象不出。它们有的就趴在地上假寐,有的在慢慢地散步,还有的在四处奔跑。平原上有草,有土,有山,而且空气中有一层薄薄的雾,如梦如幻。另一边竟然是一片海域,微风拂过,水面荡漾着一圈圈的波纹。海面上浮着好些没见过的海兽,海中央还有几座小岛,岛上隐约能见缓缓爬行的两栖生物。这条分割着平原和海域的奇怪的大路,它的尽头有两座很雄伟的...
卷一郊庙歌辞一《乐记》曰:“王者功成作乐,治定制礼。是以五帝殊时,不相沿乐,三王异世,不相袭礼。”明其有损益。然自黄帝已后,至於三代,千有馀年,而其礼乐之备,可以考而知者,唯周而也已。《周颂·昊天有成命》,郊祀天地之乐歌也,《清庙》,祀太庙之乐歌也,《我将》,祀明堂之乐歌也,《载芟》《良耜》,藉田社稷之乐歌也。然则祭乐之有歌,其来尚矣。两汉已后,世有制作。其所以用於郊庙朝廷,以接人神之欢者,其金石之响,歌舞之容,亦各因其功业治乱之所起,而本其风俗之所由。武帝时,诏司马相如等造《郊祀歌》诗十九章,五郊互奏之。又作《安世歌》诗十七章,荐之宗庙。至明帝,乃分乐为四品:一曰《大予乐》,典郊庙上陵之乐。郊乐者,《易》所谓“先王以作乐崇德,殷荐上帝”。宗庙乐者,《虞书》所谓“琴瑟以咏,祖考来格”。《诗》云“肃雍和鸣,先祖是听”也。二曰雅颂乐,典六宗社稷之乐。社稷乐者,《诗》...
Book ICHAPTER I.MASLOVA IN PRISON.Though hundreds of thousands had done their very best todisfigure the small piece of land on which they were crowdedtogether, by paying the ground with stones, scraping away everyvestige of vegetation, cutting down the trees, turning away birdsand beasts, and filling the air with the smoke of naphtha andcoal, still spring was spring, even in the town.The sun shone warm, the air was balmy; everywhere, where it didnot get scraped away, the grass revived and spran
目 录作者:百里芜虚简 介:拥有着控制时间,控制空间,控制能量等超级能力的诸多主神间的战斗,相当血腥和惨烈。其中关于三个未来的一段,开始觉得摸不着头脑,但看下去,才恍然大悟。所以,如果觉得该书写得乱的朋友,不妨耐心看完,感觉会大不相同的,尤其是结局,很是出人意料。书 评:应当是百里芜虚自己架构的一个世界。一群宇宙的掌管者,派出几个代表去处理一些小事件,却引出了一个大阴谋。到处都有权力斗争,神们也一样。秩序之神塞里斯为了独霸宇宙(姑且这么说吧),策划了一切,并几乎成功。但最后不幸地激活了宇宙的破坏者——叛逆之神,破坏一切规则的神,最终宇宙完蛋了。作者可能很偏爱这个世界,在《世界》中也把它作为大背景。...
():/b7547/--第一章 白日梦祁王朝,清水县城,一个身高体胖的年轻女子,穿一件嫩绿色的斜襟大褂,配了一条米白百褶的襦裙,背着个硕大的包裹,微弯着背,垂着头,行走在通往县衙后院的大路上。其实这个时候,天气已经寒凉了,嫩绿的夏衣,实在不合适。米白的襦裙,在秋风里瑟瑟飘动,颇有一种“此一去风萧萧兮易水寒”的意思。日头正高,县衙后院的黑漆木门竟然是四敞大开的,十几辆漂亮装潢的马车,按次序排列在院门外,里面的丝竹之声悠悠扬扬的传出来。县令夫人在后院待客,客人几乎全部是沾点儿官气的夫人小姐,清水县城内的富商之家也有那么几位前来凑数,连主子带丫鬟仆妇,个个收拾的衣袂飘飘,一时间香腮鬓影,莺莺燕燕散布在花前树下。...
