清华简《耆夜》为伪作考 姜广辉 付赞 邱梦
本文考证清华简《耆夜》为伪作，理由是：一、简文载周公致毕公诗，开头一句是“戎
服”，考“戎服”概念晚出，大约在公元前800年左右军旅之衣称为“韎韐”，公元前
650年左右称为“均服”，公元前550年左右称为“戎服”、以“赑赑”叠字作为修饰语
直到唐代才有。二、简文两次见“祝诵”词汇，考先秦古籍只单言“祝”或“颂”，不
言“祝诵”或“祝颂”。宋代学者作文献研究，分析文辞、文意，始立“祝颂”之目。
三、简文载周公酬武王祝诵诗，开头一句是：“明明上帝，临下之光。”前一句首见于
晋人诗句，是歌颂上帝的；后一句首见于宋人诗句，是歌颂宋帝的，这两句诗乃是现代
人集句，非周公原创。四、《蟋蟀》一诗原载《诗经·国风·唐风》，先秦季札和孔子
都认为此诗反映唐尧节俭遗风。简文则说《蟋蟀》一诗为周公所作。考《诗经》三百零

Famed department store seeks answers as sales slide; CEO tries discount
stores

For more than a decade, Macy’s Inc. boss Terry Lundgren has defended the
traditional department store—gobbling up other retailers, testing out new
selling formats and trying to clamp down on discounts, to name a few tactics.
Now, after years of strong growth, Macy’s faces a crisis. On Wednesday, the... 阅读全帖 |

evident in the Maks’ extreme frugality: they ate their meals off of

India will launch a rocket carrying 103 satellites next month in a record
single mission, a report said Wednesday, as its famously frugal space agency
looks to zoom ahead in the commercial space race.
The rocket is set to blast off from the southern spaceport of Sriharikota in
February carrying three Indian satellites and 100 foreign ones including
from the US, France and Germany, the Press Trust of Indi... 阅读全帖 |

发帖数: 1 | 45 二十世纪最伟大的思想家，科学家爱因斯坦，一生为人类科技发展进步作出了无与伦比
的贡献。称之为近代文明的偶像大师实在不为过。这位被纳粹德国驱逐的犹太人，还被
广泛誉为全球反种族主义的典范。然而就这位被世人膜拜仰望的科学巨匠，却因今年六
月出版的游记被陷入一场不大不小的种族主义文字风波。
这本游记“The Travel Diaries of Albert Einstein” 是根据了爱因斯坦从1922 到
1923 年间在亚洲的旅行日记整理而成书，文字中少不了大师对哲学，人生，社会和自
然的的感想和见解，当然也记载了他在亚洲的所见所闻和感触。
在贫穷落后的中国的所见所闻带给了爱因斯坦很深刻的印象，他在日记里充满了对中国
底层阶级的同情和恻隐之心 － “他们大多数是负担沉重的，男男女女为五分钱工资天
天敲石子。他们似乎鲁钝得不理解他们命运的可怕。他们好像是受折磨的、鲁钝的、不
开化的民族，而同他们国家的伟大文明的过去好像毫无关系。……这是地球上最贫困的
民族，他们被残酷地虐待着，他们所受的待遇比牛马还不如”
然而最令人瞩目的却是这本书中对中国人的贬低，鄙视和侮辱性的描述。其语言之辛辣
刻薄，... 阅读全帖 |

That buzzphrase has been the Republicans' way of referring to business
owners who are supposedly hamstrung by overregulation and outdated economic
policies that Obama has pursued over the last three years, including the
controversial stimulus program from 2009. Obama himself is a "job killer" in
the argot of leading Republicans like Mitt Romney and John Boehner. But
Obama may have some persuasive facts at hand to help refute that claim come
