Update Information of the Ainu
Introduction
The Ainu (from the word 'aynu,' meaning 'person' in the Ainu language) are the aboriginal inhabitants of the Kurile (or Kuril) Islands, the southern half of Sakhalin Island, and Hokkaido, the northernmost of the four major islands of Japan. The first Russian explorers to visit Kamchatka in the 18th century also found a mixed Ainu-Itelmen population in the southern tip of that peninsula.
Anthropologically, the Ainu are equally distinct, showing no close genetic affiliation with any of the surrounding peoples. They have more facial and body hair than other peoples of East Asia, sho
公元2009年8月9日下午1时40分左右,一位被称为“大学生美女村官”、年仅27岁的公务员车娅婷在成都市的一条街上行走时被电动三轮车挂了一下。据有关报导,美女大学生情急之下负痛骂了骑车男子一句成都土话,男子顿时失去理智,痛殴弱女子并致其死亡。几日后,杀人男子在网民们的一片口诛笔伐之声中被警方抓获。
“车娅婷事件”涉及一个网民共同关心的秘密,那就是车娅婷究竟说了什么,究竟是什么样的词语导致一个据说平时安分守己的人痛下杀手。由于警方对此保持缄默,这句话的内容已无从得知。但可以肯定的是,一句话的恶毒使词语本身具有了一种魔力,使一个男人一瞬间成了疯子,使一个女孩成为可耻暴力的牺牲品。从这个角度说来,溯本清源,美女村官并非死于肢体暴力,而是死于一种“语言的暴力”。
语言的暴力可以超越肉体的暴力,这意味着词语本身暗藏着一种巨大的力量。当然,语言本身不是暴力,也不可能成为暴力,但语言的力量可能在一个不幸的
In Navajo people in the Southwest of the USA, there is the healing principle which is called Sa’ah Naaghhai Bik’eh Hozho (SNBH). SNBH is described as “the key concept in Navajo philosophy,” and as constituting “in linguistic form the ideal world of the Navajo”. It is interpreted to mean “according to the ideal may restoration be achieved”, “in old age walking the trail of beauty,” and “long life and happiness”. Understanding the nature of Navajo selfhood and the Navajo behavioral environment plays a central role in understanding the therapeutic process in Navajo religious healing because it stresses the conditions of emotional force and the meaning during the process, as well as the content and significance of emotional expression_r_r_r. That means, health and well-being are associated with balance or harmony between an individual and his or her environment. Thus, the traditional culture must come into play in
在二战之前,堪察加半岛是美国、日本、加拿大和诸多欧洲国家的贸易中转站。二战之后,苏联关闭了那一地区,直到1991年解体,这一地区才重新回到人们的视野之中。半岛的北部是卡雅克族自治区,但还有楚克奇人(Chukchi)、伊特尔门人(Itelmens)与埃文斯人(Ewens)与卡雅克人(Koryak)分享这一块远离文明世界的风光壮丽的高纬度地区。当然,和世界上的许多土著地区一样,如今,那里的主体人群并非土著,在这里,俄罗斯族和乌克兰族人占据了人口总数的的百分之七十五。自治区有3万5千人,卡雅克人仅占5分之1。
I have some coldness inside,
also some warmness outside.
I am a wall of mine,
between me outside and me inside.
Sometimes need something which is able to dissolve me,
the wall,
sometimes sunshine brought me more icy shadows.
Something, like some tears, some words, or some love with salt,
they may dissolve myself, but
思想中的大气
我思想中的大气,升起又落下
还有“弥漫”,那是我想到的另一个词语
在凝结成雨雪霜雾之前,我们往往没有预感
因为现实,也就是那些我们眼所能见的事物
就是一枚随时随地堕落的苹果
慌不择路。生活中的状态跟不上水的流动
因为水依据本能行走
从西向东,“白发黄鸡”,从高的地方向低的地方
就象人群不断地向山下迁移,直到河口,直到平原
把身后的空旷留给了野生的动物和植物,
也留给了思想
也留给了过去——过去往往没落而富有
醉了的,就象泥土;湿了的,依然芬芳
河流只有在遇见歌手才挣扎着向上
宛若歌手只在水边行走

小口尖底瓶是汲水器吗?
小口尖底瓶是陕西、河南等地新石器时代仰韶文化的典型器物,距今约6500年至5000年。这种器物身体瘦长,小口细颈,腹部有着双耳。在上一世纪50年代,考古学家把它认定为一种汲水用具,认为尖底瓶的汲水现象是仰韶文化先民对重心原理熟练掌握的反映。由于浮力,尖底瓶一入水马上倾倒自动灌水,水满则瓶又自动立起。瓶的两耳若拴以绳索,则
