Organic Structures & Properties

January 8-13, 2006
Santa Ynez Valley Marriott
Buellton, CA

Chair: Steven C Zimmerman
Vice Chairs: Joanna Aizenberg & Mireille Blanchard-Desce

The 2006 Organic Structure and Properties (OSP) Gordon Research Conference will be held at the Santa Ynez Valley Marriott, near Santa Barbara, California during the week of January 8-13, 2006.

The OSP GRC is comparatively new, but it has already established itself as a highly successful meeting focused on the most exciting developments in interdisciplinary research wherein organic chemistry plays an integral role. The conference has been held every other year, alternating between the U.S., Europe, and Japan. The 2006 conference will focus on the interface between organic chemistry, biology, and materials/polymer chemistry with a diverse group of scientists who are emerging or recognized leaders.

The Santa Ynez Valley Marriott is located in the heart of California's central coast and is easily accessible from the Santa Barbara Airport (SBA) or by car (2.5 hour drive) from Los Angeles International Airport (LAX). The hotel is located in the beautiful Santa Ynez Valley, which has 40 excellent wineries nearby as well as many outdoor activities including 4 championship golf courses.

The invited speakers who have already agreed to participate:

  • Aida, Takuzo (University of Tokyo)
  • Anderson, Harry L. (University of Oxford)
  • Anslyn, Eric V. (University of Texas)
  • Barron, Annelise (Northwestern University)

记忆的端午

今年端午很用心写的一段文字, 就算是一个有技术没文化的技术人员对逝去岁月和消亡中的传统的一种祭奠吧!

 

记忆的端午

 

87年的福建,烟雨朦胧的端午

 

连绵不断的群山, 连绵不断的细雨。 空气中一半是水汽, 湿湿的, 粘粘的……年老发黄的墙壁,成片的水滴在上面凝聚。印象里, 这是一个润和绿的季节。路边的艾草,山上的青竹,田里的禾苗……微微的闷涩下是满面的清新。

 

此起彼伏的蛙加虫鸣,伴随着淅沥呖呖的雨落到木头窗外的药园。紧挨着的是桑树,这会的桑籽,已经开始红了。矮的下面, 是鱼腥草, 当归, 薄荷……

 

雨下的累的时候, 便也停那么几下。走到屋后的打谷坪,踩着水洼打水仗。后山上,白白的水汽往山顶爬去, 绿油油的山郁郁葱葱。从雾气和青色中走下的, 是披着棕蓑衣戴着竹斗笠去山上采粽叶回来的婶婶们。

家里的大门上, 悬挂着五月初一时采摘的艾草,据说可以辟邪。家里的厅堂上,阿嬷已经砍好了几大片的棕叶。灶台上还有油爆过后的香菇瘦肉油葱的余香。满盆的糯米已经提前浸好了, 略带黄色的是用碱水泡过的准备用来做碱水粽子的。洗干净的粽叶摊在竹筐上,阿嬷开始包粽子了。我在边上帮忙把棕叶撕细,阿嬷裹好的四面体状或者双塔状的就可以系到上面了。包完的时候, 一伶就是一吊的粽子。下水煮的时候, 满屋都是粽叶的清香。如果不是新采的, 味道就没有那么浓了。我最喜欢吃的是阿嬷包的肉粽,油葱,虾仁,香菇和肉, 再加上新棕叶的清香, 真是人间的美味。记忆里, 一吊吊的粽子最后都是要帖上剪好的红纸花然后把从玉皇大帝观音菩萨土地公一直到各宗各代的祖先都请出来吃一遍。烟雾缭绕的仪式里,懵懵恫恫的我见证着中国人的实用主义。

 

一天前的学堂里,老师给我们讲述端午节的来历。他是用一口纯正的闽南普通话说的。方言里,叫“五月过节”。楚国的大夫屈原, 空有一身才学报负却只能看着国家受辱国君被俘, 悲愤难平投江自尽。楚国百姓知道后, 连夜划着船在江上呼唤寻找他们的屈大夫。为了不让水里的鱼虾和蛟龙伤害屈大夫的尸身, 他们把肉炒了米蒸好后投入江中……虽然多年以后当我在北京同学面前自信坦坦的用一口纯正的闽南乡音说出“包括”应该念成“包瓜”, “飞机在天上飞” 是“灰机在天丧灰”很大程度上是拜这位老师所赐, 但是我真的很感激他让年少的我知道了“舍生取义”和“国家”, 而这, 和系着蓝色围裙的阿嬷在一片绿色中包粽子一起成为记忆中最强烈的端午意象。

 

吃过一顿丰盛度可以和中秋节相媲美的午饭后,大人小孩都要洗澡。烧开水的时候, 锅里放着各种野草,大人的说法是洗了以后可以祛百病(还有一种说法是连金蚕都可以挡, 闽南的金蚕蛊可是和苗疆的蛊一样出名的哟)。然后换上新衣服。 阿嬷早已洗好了鲜红水白的水蜜桃, 旁边还有染成红色并且用五色彩线缠着的鸡蛋。具体的原因在当时因为每年都有大量的类似神秘活动而大人也不喜欢小孩子乱问也就不得而知,等到长大成人又偶有兴致去寻根究源的时候知道答案的人却早已作古。

 

下过雨的小溪里, 漂着一些粽叶裹成的船,船里放着一些五颜六色刺绣布包(号称“凤凰老虎花”)和一些米粉面条,这些都是新嫁过女儿的人家放的。就象在田间地头偶尔看到的祭祀食品和香头一样,这种颇具巫蛊色彩的风俗一直是少年时代胆小的我心灵深处挥之不去的怪诞梦魇。

 

敲锣打鼓的龙舟队,已经坐着几辆拖拉机先到县城里了。村里的人家,也都牵儿带女浩浩荡荡地往城里进军。人头攒动的两岸,略带混黄的江水,呐喊声,锣鼓声, 大红色, 金黄色,墨绿色……

……

 

 

04年的北京,没有龙舟的端午

 

晴空霹雳一般,街头的大报小报都在说韩国人要抢先申报端午作为世界遗产了,还有一些专家出来说我们要把大大小小的中国传统节日打个包一起申报。愤慨的在说高丽棒子怎么这么不要脸居然来抢我们的节日,正宗的老北京们却在念叨, 咱们这个端午是好多年没象样的过了……

 

西直门外,一间普通食品店。

一位操着流利英语的女生和一位金发碧眼的鬼佬小伙。

“今天我们中国人过节耶, 大家都吃这个, 叫“粽子”。你吃吗?”

“刚吃过饭,好饱呀。 这里面有什么呢?”

“大部分是米, 还有一些水果和肉。”

“……, 谢谢了, 我现在不饿。平常可以买到“粽子”吗?”

“可以呀, 什么时候都可以买到。超市和商店都有卖的。”

“这个节日叫什么名字?”

“端午。”

……

 

05年的法国,没有粽子的端午

 

他们说,要和韩国人一起申报端午世界遗产了。

他们还说,端午是抢不走的……
