从香港文物市场辗转归来的竹简，到今日清华大学修复保存的《清华简》，一座被遗忘的上古档案室重新开启。它们不是沉默的遗物，而是活着的记录——在竹上改写了楚人眼中的周史，也为楚国正名。在这间“上古档案室”里，历史被一片片拼回，记忆也在手指的触碰中复原。From the fragments once circulated through the Hong Kong antiquities market to the restored bamboo slips now preserved at Tsinghua University, the Tsinghua Chu Slips reopen an ancient archive once thought lost. They are not silent relics but living records—rewriting how the Chu people viewed the Zhou world and themselves. In the “Ancient Archive Room,” history is pieced together strip by strip, revealing a civilization’s effort to reclaim its name and its memory.

在楚地的泥土里，出土了一座没有屋顶的书店。墓主是一位爱读书的楚国士人，他把八百余枚竹简当作书架，将《太一生水》《五行》《老子》并列陈放。这里写着宇宙的生成，也描着修身的路径；水与德行、太一与仁义，在竹间交织成两千年前的思想森林。《郭店楚简》让思想重新生长，像春水，从竹简的纹理里缓缓流出。From the soil of ancient Chu emerged a bookstore without a roof. Its owner, a learned shi of the Chu state, arranged over 800 bamboo slips like shelves—placing Taiyi Sheng Shui, Wuxing, and Laozi side by side. Here the creation of the cosmos meets the practice of self-cultivation; water and virtue, the cosmos and humanity, intertwine into a forest of thought still alive after two millennia. The Guodian slips let philosophy breathe again—like spring water flowing through the grain of bamboo.

出土于湖北荆门包山的楚简，既是法的刻痕，也是魂的笔记。白日的楚人用律法维持秩序，夜晚的楚人以卜筮祈求庇佑；理性与神秘在同一根竹上并行，如两条永不交错的铁轨，在时间深处映照出一个文明对秩序的双重信仰。Unearthed at Baoshan in Jingmen, Hubei, the Chu bamboo slips record both the marks of law and the notes of the soul. By day, the people of Chu upheld order through legal codes; by night, they sought protection through divination. Rationality and mystery run side by side on the same bamboo line—two tracks that never cross, yet together reflect a civilization’s enduring faith in order across time.
