On the Shishanzi Culture in the Middle Huai River Valley........................................................................................................84

Abstract：In the middle period of the Peiligang culture, the Xiaoshankou site and the Gutaisi site in northwestern Anhui made the interactions hubs between the Peiligang culture in the Central Plains and the Houli culture in the Haidai region. Out of exchanges and conflicts between the two cultures, a new regional culture, Shishanzi, came into being in the middle Huai River basin. The first two phases of the Wuzhuang site at Luyi made the second and third phases of the Shishanzi culture. Based on typological studies, the first phase of Wuzhuang could be divided into two periods, and the second phase of Wuzhuang could be divided into three periods. The first phase should be contemporaneous with the late Peiligang culture and the early Yangshao culture. The second phase should be around the same time with the first two phases of the Dahecun site. The two phases of Wuzhuang should be of the same culture, but belong to two different sub-types, Shishanzi and Houjiazhai.

On the Sasanid Silver Coins Discovered at Guyuan and Their Related
Issues ...................................................................................................106

Abstract：Nine Sasanid silver coins have been unearthed from the Northern-Wei dynasty toms at Haiziyuan and Nanyuan in Guyuan. They could be classified into Pirooz coins and Kavad I coins, the compositions of which were comparatively high in silver and low in copper and lead. The introduction of the Pirooz coins into China could be classified into two periods. The first period was from the late fifth century to the middle and late six century, which was the climax of its transmission. The second period was from the late six century to the seven century, which was the end. The owner of Sasanid silver coins include royal elites, officials and other people related to the Silk Routes, Sogdians and other exogenous population. From the Northern Wei dynasty to the Tang dynasty, the silver coins changed from exchange items to decorations. The discovery of the Sasanid silver coins has reflected the importance of the Guyuan region along the Silk Routes.

A Preliminary Research of the Terminology of the Yuan-Dynasty
Albumen-White Porcelain and the Related Issues......................................................................................................129

Abstract：Based on a summary and analysis, the author, combining related historical context, points out the value and default of every name referring to the patterned porcelain with small feet of the Yuan dynasty. The author argues that one should take into consideration the traditional custom and the modern porcelain-related scientific knowledge. A proper name should be albumen-white porcelain. Furthermore, albumen-white porcelain should have been fundamentally different from greenish white porcelain. Greenish white porcelain that was similar with the albumen-white porcelain may have been accidental results, in the making of albumen-white porcelain in the middle Yuan period. Or it could have been made on purpose.
