The author gives some examples from the written sources of the Zhanguo and Qin Dynasty periods, presenting the gradual transformation of the role of the horse rider as a separate combat unit, but also in combination with chariots. During the Han dynasty, the immediate threat from the Xiongnu by the borders and the need to secure trade routes to the West were the impetus for the reorganization of the army in general and the cavalry in particular. In order to study the peculiarities of horse use for transport needs and military operations in the north-west of the Western Han empire, besides the chronicles, documents of administrative and commercial content – bamboo slips with characters, hanjian, were being used. They were found in large numbers in border fortresses and can significantly supplement the information from the written sources of the Han period and make it possible to reconstruct not only the specifics of inner workings of the northwestern prefectures of China at the turn of the eras but also the peculiarities of horse use for the needs of postal service, patrols and the internal everyday life of garrisons.","PeriodicalId":36462,"journal":{"name":"Vestnik Novosibirskogo Gosudarstvennogo Universiteta, Seriya: Istoriya, Filologiya","volume":"46 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-04-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"87231812","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Two Miao albums about ethnic groups of Guizhou are housed at the library of Saint Petersburg State University, one of them has 72 descriptions with hand-drawn plates, only 28 out of 40 descriptions with plates remain in the other one. Among them are dozens of descriptions of Miao groups, several groups of Yizu, Buyi and Gelao, mainly with information on their costume and customs. Scarce information on history is found only in the descriptions of Yizu, since Yizu had been holding positions of local tusi chieftains and had established their own polities which the Chinese empire was forced to interact with. Rare descriptions of Miao have mentions of historical events. This study traces the historical sources, starting from the Han dynasty, where information was borrowed from, for the Miao albums. The paper restores these pieces of information and provides a commentary. Apparently, the value of Miao albums is presented by their visual images of Guizhou people together with accompanying ethnographic notes rather than the historical accounts. ","PeriodicalId":36462,"journal":{"name":"Vestnik Novosibirskogo Gosudarstvennogo Universiteta, Seriya: Istoriya, Filologiya","volume":"34 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-04-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"82705608","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Due to the epitaphs engraved on stone slabs found inside the tombs, the names of the buried individuals and the exact dates of the complexes are known: the tombs belong to high-ranking officials of Northern Zhou: Yuwen Meng (565), Li Xian (569) and Tian Hong (574). The complexes under consideration demonstrate a high degree of unification of the funeral rite, which is manifested in the similarity of tomb structures, decor and accompanying grave goods. The features of architectural structures and grave goods of these burials continue the traditions of the previous periods of the Sixteen Barbarian States and the Northern Wei. With a general similarity to the synchronous complexes of the Northern Qi (550– 577), the materials of these tombs allow to distinguish specific features of the Northern Zhou funerary practice: the absence of porcelain items, the use of ritual nephrites, and the secular nature of mural paintings. Against the background of the prevailing influence of the Chinese-Han funerary tradition, there are signs of the influence of the steppe (probably Xianbei) funeral and memorial rituals. Prestigious items imported from Iran, Central Asia, Byzantium testify to the significant role of contacts along the Silk Road in the economical and cultural development of Northern Zhou. Despite the available data from written and epigraphic sources, the problem of identifying the ethnicity of the buried has not yet been resolved. However, the version of their non-Chinese origin seems to be the most probable.","PeriodicalId":36462,"journal":{"name":"Vestnik Novosibirskogo Gosudarstvennogo Universiteta, Seriya: Istoriya, Filologiya","volume":"91 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-04-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"83977386","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

{"title":"The Horse in the Wedding Ceremony of the Khakass (Late 19th – Mid 20th Century)","authors":"V. A. Burnakov","doi":"10.25205/1818-7919-2023-22-3-140-154","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.25205/1818-7919-2023-22-3-140-154","url":null,"abstract":"Purpose. The purpose of the article is to present the characteristics of the horse as a key object in the wedding tradition of Khakass.The chronological framework of the work covers the late 19th – mid 20th centuries. The choice of such time limits is determined by the state of the source base on the research topic. The principle when any cultural phenomenon is considered in development and taking into account a specific situation, the principle of historicism, is leading in the study. The research methodology is based on historical and ethnographic methods: remnants (relic) and semantic analysis.Results. In the traditional Khakass culture, the horse and its image play an important role. This animal was extremely in demand due to its utilitarian and sacred significance. In practical terms, it was perceived as the main means of transport and an affordable source of meat. In religious and mythological terms, it acted as a symbolic projection – a “replacement” of the human soul, which had a close connection with the world of ancestors and deities. The image of the horse was steadily associated with the idea of vitality and fertility, being endowed with apotropaic properties. All this naturally contributed to its inclusion in the wedding ceremony.One of the main components of the marriage ritual was the mutual gift exchange. The horse was one of the key objects of it. This animal was an indispensable element of the kalym and all the gifts replacing it, as well as the bride's dowry and the groom's share. At the same time, the gift horse was a kind of pledge and a symbol of the conclusion of an unwritten marriage contract. The possession of a horse and the presence of expensive decorative elements in its ammunition not only emphasized its aesthetic preferences, but also served as a marker of the social status and prestige of the horse owner. This norm was observed in the wedding procession.Conclusion. The role of the horse in the ritual and socionormative practice associated with marriage is one of the components of the multifaceted image of this animal in the Khakass culture. Such a wide functionality of the horse people’s lives obviously may indicate the nomadic roots of the phenomenon of horse veneration.","PeriodicalId":36462,"journal":{"name":"Vestnik Novosibirskogo Gosudarstvennogo Universiteta, Seriya: Istoriya, Filologiya","volume":"18 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-03-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"78729843","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

{"title":"The History of Naming among the Baunt Evenks","authors":"O. Buraeva, E. F.

The purpose of this article is to explore the naming system of Baunt Evenks – local group of Evenks in Buryatia. For centuries, each nation has developed its own anthroponymicon – a register of personal names, which had its own characteristics in each historical period.Results. We examined this process using the example of the personal names of the Baunt Evenks – a local group of the indigenous people of the Republic of Buryatia, currently living in the Bauntovsky Evenk district. Name played a very important role in an Evenk’s life. It was individual, rarely repeated and perceived as something alive. In the process of research, the original Evenk names of the 17th – 21st centuries, unknown to modern Evenks, have been revealed. It was established that the most common male names among the Baunt Evenks were formed with the suffix -wul. The next in the frequency of use were names ending in -cha, -nay, -nei, -ni, -tu / -ltu, -kta / -to, -no, -nya, -chan, -ko. Most female names were formed with the suffix -k. We have recorded Russian and Buryat names that appeared in the Evenks anthroponymicon as a result of the establishment of cultural relations between peoples. The frequency of their use has been also determined. It has been found that since the end of the 19th century, the Evenks have mainly been using three-word names: first name, patronymic, surname.Conclusion. In the naming system of the Evenks, there were a number of conventions and prohibitions. Firstly, a person could not exist without a name. Secondly, the Evenks treated personal names as something intimate. Thirdly, the naming process was not instantaneous. Fourth, the name of the Evenks was a new word. And fifth, the formation of personal names among the Evenks was subject to certain linguistic norms.","PeriodicalId":36462,"journal":{"name":"Vestnik Novosibirskogo Gosudarstvennogo Universiteta, Seriya: Istoriya, Filologiya","volume":"104 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-03-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"79456306","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Barsova Gora is a unique archaeological and landscape site located in the Tyumen Region (West Siberia) of the Russian Federation. The technical and technological analysis of Kalinkino ceramics from the Barsov gorodok III/2 settlement (25 vessels) was performed in accordance with the method developed by A. A. Bobrinsky.Results. For the manufacture of vessels at the Barsov gorodok III/2 settlement, ferruginous clays were selected. Five subspecies of clay have been identified, differing in the sandiness degree and natural impurities composition. The most common subspecies of clay is weakly sandy clay with natural inclusions of brown ironstone. Three recipes for molding compond were defined: 1) clay + chamotte (21 vessels); 2) clay + chamotte + sand (3 vessels); 3) clay + sand (1 vessel). Vessels were made using patchwork molding, presumably on a base mold. Surfaces of vessels were processed by mechanical smoothing and glossing. There are 10 variants of combining different tools. The most common variant is smoothing vessel both surfaces using a serrated tool. Firing of pottery could take place in reducing or semireducing gas environment.Conclusion. A comparison of pottery traditions of the Kalinkino culture from the Barsov gorodok III/2 settlement and the Barsova Gora III/20 settlement revealed their similarity. It is manifested in the selection of weakly sandy ferruginous clays for vessels production. The dominant recipe for molding compound on both sites is clay + chamotte. Vessels were made using patchwork overlay. There are differences in the range of artificial additives used in the ceramic production, recipes for molding compound, surface treatment options. Pottery of the Kalinkino culture from the Barsov Gorodok III/2 settlement demonstrates similarity with the Barsovo culture products. The similarity is manifested in the use of weakly sanded ferruginous clays and the use of chamotte as the main mineral impurity. It also converges with the pottery of the Surgut variant of the Kulay cultural-historical community due to use of chamotte and patchwork overlay. However, there are significant differences between ceramics of the Surgut variant of the Kulay cultural-historical community and the Kalinkino culture from the Barsov gorodok III/2 settlement manifested: it lies in the use of shadings and flap veneer in the Kulay pottery.","PeriodicalId":36462,"journal":{"name":"Vestnik Novosibirskogo Gosudarstvennogo Universiteta, Seriya: Istoriya, Filologiya","volume":"36 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-03-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"85143799","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The purpose of the work is to search for evidence of the “golden statue of a man for sacrifices to Heaven” existence in the material culture of the early Xiongnu for the subsequent interpretation of this phenomenon.Materials. To achieve this goal, the reports of Chinese historical records on the culture of the early Xiongnu, which contain references to the “golden statue of a person for sacrifices to Heaven” were analyzed. Information from the historical records was compared with archaeological materials of synchronous archaeological cultures with numerous gold items in the territory of Northern Eurasia. Basically, the comparison was made with the “golden culture” of the Sakas of Kazakhstan.Result. It has been established that the “golden statue of a person for sacrifices to Heaven” in the culture of the early Xiongnu did not imply a golden statue, similar to later statues of Buddha, but the tradition of the deceased rulers clothes decorating with gold implements in the process of the ritual exposure of the deceased body. This tradition is widely known from the materials of the Sakas culture of Kazakhstan as a rite of creating a “golden man”. It is suggested that this tradition was borrowed by the Xiongnu in the course of contacts with the Saka population of Kazakhstan in the 4th century BC and existed among the Xiongnu until the 2nd century BC. The contacts between the Xiongnu and the Scythian and Saka nomadic population of Central Asia are confirmed by the excavations materials from the Chikhertyn Zoo burial ground in Mongolia.Conclusion. As a result of the work carried out, it was possible to identify some material and spiritual culture features of the early Xiongnu (4th – 2nd centuries BC).","PeriodicalId":36462,"journal":{"name":"Vestnik Novosibirskogo Gosudarstvennogo Universiteta, Seriya: Istoriya, Filologiya","volume":"87 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-03-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"86513129","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In 2020, an expedition of the Korkyt Ata Kyzylorda University under the leadership of A. A. Tazhekeev and Y. S.

Kurmaniyazov has processed a previously unexplored collection of stone artifacts, storing in the funds, from the Zhalgyz-agym site.Results. The Zhalgyz-agym Site is located on the border of the territory of the Aral Karakum Desert and the Aral Sea in the vicinity of Saryshyganak Bay. Like most of the early sites of the Celteminar culture located in the vicinity of Aralsk Siti and st. Saksaulskaya, the Site are confined to the surface of somewhat compacted and humified soil, the layer of which is now exposed by terraces on the slopes of sandy mounds. On the surface of this layer, one can find vertically standing core, piles of flakes, ash residues and osteological materials.The collection of the Zhalgyz-agym Site, both collected and provided by the museum fund, is represented by 547 stone artifacts.The technology of primary knapping contains a number of features that allow these atrifacts to be attributed to the Mesolithic tradition. This is evidenced by both the shapes of the core – end, wedge-shaped, pencil-shaped – and the technology of their production and knapping.Conclusion. The Zhalgyz-agym site can be attributed to the Celteminar culture, but since the collection of archaeological material took place from the surface of the site, its chronological and cultural characteristics were determined only by applying a technical and typological analysis of stone artifacts.","PeriodicalId":36462,"journal":{"name":"Vestnik Novosibirskogo Gosudarstvennogo Universiteta, Seriya: Istoriya, Filologiya","volume":"34 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-03-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"79774672","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
