《复频弹性律学：李曙明音律文集》收录了我国音乐美学家、律学家李曙明先生的七篇律学论文。《复频弹性律学：李曙明音律文集》的特色是从美学和哲学的高度来重新看待和审视律学问题，这无疑为律学的未来发展提供了一个崭新的视角。作者以2音分的“小微音差”和14音分的“弹律音差”为工具，运用传统文化中的“和律”智慧将五度相生律、纯律和十二平均律融合为一个自洽的完整体系，使得三律之美兼而有之。全书既大胆借鉴当前律学研究的新成果，又充分吸收了古代易学、律学精髓，体现出“技”、“艺”与“道”的统一，把律学从造律.听律、算律的历史推向了唱（奏）律的艺术实践新阶段，对音乐理论、音乐表演及中国十二音作曲法具有高屋建瓴般的指导意义。全书简洁精炼，逻辑清晰，不仅是律学研究者的重要参考书目，也适合专业音乐院校和师

水墨画鱼类，虽看似粗略几笔，齐白石对原物却观察得异常仔细，并抓住其主要特征进行刻画。他晚年曾对弟子胡絮青说：“鲫鱼腮旁有一条灰白的线，直通鱼尾，从这条线可以计算它身上有若干鳞片……画画的人如能这么仔细地去研究它，在画它时就不会马虎的了。”齐白石画虾享誉于世。他早期画虾，基本上是青虾（河虾）的造型，且多是游动的群虾，用小号羊毫笔，其质感和透明度不强，虾的腿和须画得短密且欠弹性，后腿呈排列状且多至八九条。为求神似，老人70岁后画虾，一改早年画法，加大并明确了虾身的起伏角度，同时对虾的游足也一删早年时的繁多，始而画游足五只，虾壳的质感和透明感也得到加强。80岁后他删繁就简，已不再画繁复的虾群，只为几只虾传神。画虾变化明显的是他把虾头前面的短须省去，仅画六条大须。虾须的简化，使得画幅的空

法国印象派绘画虽然在有些人看来分别存有或片面追求光学的客观主义，或把科学原理与艺术创作有机结合，以及自我表现的个体主义倾向等，但在西方传统绘画的历史性超越、对西方现代主义艺术的精神启迪等方面，提出了许多关键性的问题并进行了有益的探索性实验。因此可以说，法国印象派绘画扭转了西方美术的发展方向，开启了美术的新纪元。

西藏面具是西藏特殊历史和文化背景下的精神产物。它既根源于原始宗教信仰，也依存于人的现实精神需要。这也就是面具在西藏长盛不衰的根基和原因。在西藏，无论是宗教祭祀，还是民间歌舞表演，乃至节日游园，婚丧嫁娶，儿童嬉戏等，都少不了面具的帮衬作用。或为弘扬佛法，解救众生；或为降伏鬼魔，降福人间；或为娱之于人，求食谋生；或为自娱自乐，解除苦闷与寂寥。作为一种社会意识形态，面具艺术已深入到西藏社会生活的各个层面。
