本篇《清华简〈五纪〉》重新解读《五纪》这部以日、月、星、辰、岁为核心的竹简，将其视为一幅“文明生命体”的生理地图。在楚人的世界观中，星辰为骨，江河生血，德行如五官五脏，时间的运转即是生命的呼吸。《五纪》展现了一种以节律为法、以天文为身的文明观——时间不再抽象，而成为能呼吸、能自我修复的生命。Tsinghua University Collection of Warring States Bamboo Slips “Wu Ji” (“Five Cycles”) — “Stars as Bones, Rivers as Blood.”This essay reinterprets Wu Ji as a physiological map of civilization. The five cycles—Sun, Moon, Stars, Constellations, and Years—are not astronomical observations but the rhythm of life itself.

Wu Ji reveals how the Chu imagined time as a living body—breathing, circulating, and forever returning to balance.
