“中國”一詞后來隨著所指對象不同而有不同的含義。大致說來,有以下六種概念:一是指京師(首都)。二是指天子直接統(tǒng)治的地區(qū),如諸葛亮對孫權說:“若能以吳越之眾與中國抗衡,不如早與之絕?!比侵钢性貐^(qū)。四是指國內、內地,如《史記·武帝本紀》:“天下名山八,而三在蠻夷,五在中國?!蔽迨侵钢T夏族居住的地區(qū)。六是指華夏或漢族建立的國家,《史記》《漢書》經常出現(xiàn)這樣的稱謂。所以自漢代開始,人們常常把漢族建立的中原王朝稱為“中國”。
古琴之外的其他彈拔樂器一般都是點狀出音,即每彈一次出一音,因而音與音之間會有明顯的間隙,不連貫。這使它們在表現(xiàn)音樂的強度和力度方面,有一定的效果,但在表現(xiàn)深邃、悠遠的意境方面,有著明顯的欠缺。然而古琴卻沒有這樣的缺憾。古琴的有效弦長特別長,振幅大,振動時間久,所以古琴在演奏中會出現(xiàn)獨有的“走手音”?!白呤忠簟钡奶攸c之一,就是它所造就的線狀音跡能讓聲音產生游動感。這可以使琴音顯得綿延而深遠。
關于風箏的起源有很多說法,比如斗笠、樹葉說,認為風箏的出現(xiàn)受到被風吹起的斗笠、樹葉的啟發(fā),還有帆船、帳篷說,飛鳥說等。觀點雖不統(tǒng)一,但風箏很早就出現(xiàn)在中國并無異議?!俄n非子·外儲說左上》中記載“墨子為木鳶,三年而成,飛一日而敗。弟子曰:‘先生之巧,至能使木鳶飛?!笨梢姶呵飸?zhàn)國時期已有風箏,不過為木質。隨著造紙術的發(fā)展,從唐朝開始,紙糊的風箏逐漸興起。當了宋代,放風箏已經成為當時人們喜愛的戶外活動。明清時期,風箏的制作技藝、裝飾技藝得到空前發(fā)展。至清朝道光年間達到鼎盛。
①當今社會是個看臉的時代,大多數(shù)人希望通過提升“顏值”來獲得更多的自信與機遇。然而顏值并不能決定一切。馬云,一個名列福布斯全球科技百富榜亞洲第一的男人,他并沒有很高的顏值。但他通過自己的努力,取得了如今的諸多成就。即使是在顏值時代,修心亦是很重要的。②一個沒有素質的人,就算穿的多么華麗,一說話一個舉動就能暴露自己。一個非常有涵養(yǎng)的人,即使穿著樸素,和他相處也會覺得清風拂面。
失掉了他信力,就會疑,一個轉身,也許能夠只相信了自己,倒是一條新生路,但不幸的是逐漸玄虛起來了。信"地"和"物",還是切實的東西,國聯(lián)就渺茫,不過這還可以令人不久就省悟到依賴它的不可靠。一到求神拜佛,可就玄虛之至了,有益或是有害,一時就找不出分明的結果來,它可以令人更長久的麻醉著自己。
