July 18th: 杜克中国论坛诚邀您参加首次聚会

Add comment July 18th, 2008 DCSSA2009 活动讯息 | Events n News

Summer is always the travel time for Chinese scholars and students. Due to the absence of keynote speakers and a broader audience in the summertime, we have to postpone July 18th’s nationalism salon until the next semester. We apologize for this unexpected change. Please check our website to see the updated activity information.

We will continue cordially holding the first member meeting and social activity for you on July 18th from 5:30pm to 8:00pm in multicultural lounge in Bryan Center. Delicious Chinese food will be provided. In this social activity, we will introduce this brand new organization, Duke China Forum, to you. A very casual discussion of our organization and brainstorming future discussion topics will follow. If you are determined to come, please register at http://www.surveymonkey.com/s.aspx?sm=K7lL9_2bmYi6_2bcM6o674UuHA_3d_3d.

Our organization is currently preparing events for throughout the year. We hope this will be an exciting and comfortable place where any person interested in China can express his/her opinions. However, it deserves special emphasis here that DCF is a purely academic organization, which does not uphold any particular political stances, as it is our belief that politics always disturb academic communication. This is the most important spirit of this organization.

Location: Multicultural Lounge in Bryan Center
Direction: http://mcc.studentaffairs.duke.edu/location/index.html
Sponsor: Duke China Forum (http://www.dukechinaforum.blogspot.com/)

Duke China Forum’s Mission:
The Duke China Forum (DCF) is a student-run academic organization, established for students, faculty, scholars and professionals at Duke and the Triangle Area to exchange their views and opinions on social, economic, political and cultural issues occurring in the Greater China Region. DCF aims to promote interdisciplinary intellectual exchange among social sciences, humanities, business, law, public policy and science and technology, and develop some innovated ideas and aspirations through regular discussions. DCF expects to become a platform to discuss China issues, a window to know China, and a bridge to link Duke China Study researchers and sister organizations in the world.

中国风-传统节日-端午节-端午由来

Add comment July 15th, 2008 DCSSA2009 活动讯息 | Events n News

  源于纪念屈原

  据《史记》“屈原贾生列传”记载,屈原,是春秋时期楚怀王的大臣。他倡导举贤授能,富国强兵,力主联齐抗秦,遭到贵族子兰等人的强烈反对,屈原遭馋去职,被赶出都城,流放到沅、湘流域。他在流放中,写下了忧国忧民的《离骚》、《天问》、《九歌》等不朽诗篇,独具风貌,影响深远(因而,端午节也称诗人节)。公元前278年,秦军攻破楚国京都。屈原眼看自己的祖国被侵略,心如刀割,但是始终不忍舍弃自己的祖国,于五月五日,在写下了绝笔作《怀沙》之后,抱石投汨罗江身死,以自己的生命谱写了一曲壮丽的爱国主义乐章。

  传说屈原死后,楚国百姓哀痛异常,纷纷涌到汨罗江边去凭吊屈原。渔夫们划起船只,在江上来回打捞他的真身。有位渔夫拿出为屈原准备的饭团、鸡蛋等食物,“扑通、扑通”地丢进江里,说是让鱼龙虾蟹吃饱了,就不会去咬屈大夫的身体了。人们见后纷纷仿效。一位老医师则拿来一坛雄黄酒倒进江里,说是要药晕蛟龙水兽,以免伤害屈大夫。后来为怕饭团为蛟龙所食,人们想出用楝树叶包饭,外缠彩丝,发展成棕子。

  以后,在每年的五月初五,就有了龙舟竞渡、吃粽子、喝雄黄酒的风俗;以此来纪念爱国诗人屈原。

  源于纪念伍子胥

  端午节的第二个传说,在江浙一带流传很广,是纪念春秋时期(公元前770–前476年)的伍子胥。伍子胥名员,楚国人,父兄均为楚王所杀,后来子胥弃暗投明,奔向吴国,助吴伐楚,五战而入楚都郢城。当时楚平王已死,子胥掘墓鞭尸三百,以报杀父兄之仇。吴王阖庐死后,其子夫差继位,吴军士气高昂,百战百胜,越国大败,越王勾践请和,夫差许之。子胥建议,应彻底消灭越国,夫差不听,吴国大宰,受越国贿赂,谗言陷害子胥,夫差信之,赐子胥宝剑,子胥以此死。子胥本为忠良,视死如归,在死前对邻舍人说:“我死后,将我眼睛挖出悬挂在吴京之东门上,以看越国军队入城灭吴”,便自刎而死,夫差闻言大怒,令取子胥之尸体装在皮革里于五月五日投入大江,因此相传端午节亦为纪念伍子胥之日。
  源于纪念孝女曹娥

  端午节的第三个传说,是为纪念东汉(公元23–220年)孝女曹娥救父投江。曹娥是东汉上虞人,父亲溺于江中,数日不见尸体,当时孝女曹娥年仅十四岁,昼夜沿江号哭。过了十七天,在五月五日也投江,五日后抱出父尸。就此传为神话,继而相传至县府知事,令度尚为之立碑,让他的弟子邯郸淳作诔辞颂扬。

  孝女曹娥之墓,在今浙江绍兴,后传曹娥碑为晋王义所书。后人为纪念曹娥的孝节,在曹娥投江之处兴建曹娥庙,她所居住的村镇改名为曹娥镇,曹娥殉父之处定名为曹娥江。

  源于古越民族图腾祭

  近代大量出土文物和考古研究证实:长江中下游广大地区,在新石器时代,有一种几何印纹陶为特征的文化遗存。该遗存的族属,据专家推断是一个崇拜龙的图腾的部族—-史称百越族。出土陶器上的纹饰和历史传说示明,他们有断发纹身的习俗,生活于水乡,自比是龙的子孙。其生产工具,大量的还是石器,也有铲、凿等小件的青铜器。作为生活用品的坛坛罐罐中,烧煮食物的印纹陶鼎是他们所特有的,是他们族群的标志之一。直到秦汉时代尚有百越人,端午节就是他们创立用于祭祖的节日。在数千年的历史发展中,大部分百越人已经融合到汉族中去了,其余部分则演变为南方许多少数民族,因此,端午节成了全中华民族的节日。

南极气温上升导致小企鹅大量冻死

Add comment July 15th, 2008 DCSSA2009 活动讯息 | Events n News

羊城晚报7月14日报道 南极地区连续爆发反常暴风雨,导致成千上万只新生小企鹅活活冻死。据估计,经此一难,南极企鹅数目将锐减两成。南极专家认为,这是气候变化给南极地区带来的又一灾难性影响。

南极下雨多过下雪

科学家相信,受灾最严重的阿德利企鹅数目将下降至80%,如果天气短期内不能转好,情况可能更严重,不到10年,这一物种或将从地球上消失。

在过去50年里,南极大陆的平均温度上升了3摄氏度,达到-14.7摄氏度,冬季频发的暴风雪渐渐被更加冰冷刺骨的暴风雨所代替。

阿德利企鹅刚出生时仅有薄薄一层保暖皮毛,小企鹅需要40天的时间才能长出防水的羽毛,然而连日暴雨将整个巢穴都浸湿了,企鹅父母在时还能为子女遮风挡雨,一旦离巢觅食,小企鹅往往会因为体温过低而死。

“长期以来人们注意到了冰架在溶解,但南极冷雨却是前所未有的新现象,企鹅正面临寒冷致死的威胁。”刚刚从南极归来的纽约探险家强・鲍尔马斯特说,“它们的皮毛可以在大雪中保护自己,却不能应付暴雨,这就好像一个穿着厚夹克却被雨淋湿的人一样。”

帝企鹅乐园遭摧毁

奥斯卡获奖纪录片《帝企鹅日记》描绘了憨态可掬的帝企鹅生存及繁衍的场景,令人印象深刻,然而西雅图华盛顿大学生物学教授笛伊・波尔斯曼痛心指出,2006年12月,也就是这部电影拍摄不到两年后,她再抵达当年的拍摄地南极南部,“已经完全认不出这就是纪录片里的企鹅乐园。” 笛伊说,她完全没看到帝企鹅幼仔,也看不到浮冰,冰山数目大大减少。据悉,去年9月份,也就是帝企鹅育儿期间,当地曾被一场大型暴风雨所袭击,“极少企鹅幼仔能够幸存。”

“看见企鹅们脚下都是下一代的残骸,这才是我所见过气候变化最令人震撼以及最直接的证据。”鲍尔马斯特说。 (本文来源:金羊网-羊城晚报 作者:方海)

学会感恩,崇尚孝道—记在父亲节前

Add comment July 13th, 2008 DCSSA2009 活动讯息 | Events n News

生命是一种幸运,生命是一种奇迹。生命在茫茫宇宙中显得那么微不足道,但却是父母赠给我们最宝贵的财富。父母从孩子的生命诞生起,就期盼着他一生的精彩,为他忙碌,为他操劳。那是一种乐意的奉献,那是一种伟大的自觉,那是千万条爱河汇成的恩情之海。

  “可怜天下父母心。”有谁能感受到,胎儿躁动时父亲幸福的抚摸?有谁能感受到,一朝分娩时母亲忍受的痛苦?当一个婴儿呱呱坠地的时候,父母是满怀激动的欢笑;当襁褓中的婴儿不停地啼哭,父母表现最多的是耐心;当我们咿呀学语,叫出第一声“爸爸”、“妈妈”的时候,父母回赠我们的是无数的亲吻;当我们受到挫折或充满委屈时,父母的宽慰会及时抚平我们心灵的创伤,赋予我们重新站起来的勇气……可以说,父母的关怀带给我们无尽的快乐,父母的慈爱伴随我们健康成长,父母是庇佑我们一生的“神”。

  “百善孝为先。”父母无私的爱并不希图什么回报,但做子女的却不能忘本,失去了一颗感恩的心,缺乏了孝敬父母的意愿和行动。当父母步入中年、逐渐衰老时,他们需要我们的帮助和支持。当你把第一次亲手煎的鸡蛋端给父母品尝的时候,父母感觉是很香很香的;当你把一杯热茶端给下班归来疲惫不堪的父母时,父母喝起来是很甜很甜的;当你学会洗衣服、起床叠被、整理屋子时,父母会感觉到你长大了……孝敬父母是一种亲情,是一种爱,是一种美德,是家庭和谐、社会和谐的音符,是天下所有子女应遵循的道德规范。

  “孝为德之本。”由孝敬父母衍生开去,就是博爱,就是学会爱他人,爱人民,爱祖国,爱人类。每个人出生在家乡故土,在祖国这个大家庭中成长,他都应该饮水思源、知恩图报,都应具有桑梓之情、赤子之心,长大后要报效家乡、报效祖国和人民。由孝道推衍开去,一个正直的人,还应该明白自己肩负的社会责任:扶贫济困,除恶扬善,让世界充满爱,让社会充满真诚、善良和美好,让人们都生活在温馨和谐的环境之中。
