中新社伦敦12月25日电 题：如何从"黄土"读懂中华文明？ 中新社记者：您在新书《厚土无疆》里，用十二处考古遗址的墓葬故事串联起古代中国。为何会选择这 个切入点？ ——专访牛津大学原副校长、英国国家学术院院士杰西卡·罗森 作者 欧阳开宇 刘施岑 牛津大学原副校长、英国国家学术院院士杰西卡·罗森(Jessica Rawson)长期从事中国古代文化和考古研 究。罗森的新书《厚土无疆：古代中国的今生与来世》选取中国不同地域、不同历史阶段的十二处考古 遗址，进行深入浅出的讲解。近日，罗森接受中新社"东西问"专访，讲述如何从"黄土"解读中华文明。 现将访谈实录摘要如下： 杰西卡·罗森：选择以墓葬作为理解中华文明的切入点，是因为墓葬中丰富而精美的随葬品，在世界范 围内都极其独特。能够与之相比的，大概只有古埃及。埃及金字塔中的遗迹，多以模型或壁画形式出 现，而在中国古代的重要墓葬中，我们看到的是真实的器物，包括玉器、青铜器、丝织品和漆器等，都 采用了中国特有的技术。如果没有这些随葬品，我们对古代中国的创造力将知之甚少。 除了随葬的器物之外，墓葬中还保存着极为重要的文献资料，它们或铸刻在青铜器上，或以墨书写在木 简、竹简上。 ...

Group 1 - The core argument of the article revolves around the systemic unfairness in the modern American labor market, particularly focusing on low wages and the factors influencing wage determination [5][6][9] - The author critiques traditional economic theories that link wages directly to risk or productivity, arguing that this assumption does not hold true in practice [6][9] - The book discusses how employers maintain low wages through policies like salary secrecy and non-compete agreements, which limit employees' bargaining power [6][9] Group 2 - The author identifies key factors in wage determination, including power dynamics, inertia, imitation, and fairness, which challenge mainstream human capital and job theories [6][9] - The analysis highlights the role of weakened unions and the shareholder primacy ideology in contributing to wage stagnation and widening income inequality in the U.S. [6][9] - The book suggests that the current plight of American workers is not coincidental but rather a result of carefully designed systemic forces [8][9] Group 3 - The author proposes comprehensive reform ideas aimed at raising minimum wages, expanding the middle class, and limiting elite incomes, which face significant political resistance in a weakened union environment [9] - The discussion includes the importance of understanding organizational performance metrics and the underlying power intentions rather than blindly accepting them [7][9] - The book emphasizes the need for workers to critically assess the performance indicators set by organizations to recognize the power dynamics at play [9]
