清华简《四时》与《八气五味》看似晦涩，却是楚国王室为天地编写的“运营天书”。《四时》用三十七个精密节点建立永不宕机的“时间服务器”；《八气五味》以气与味的周期流转构成万物运行的“元素算法”，并提出五行的操作指令与五祀系统。本文用现代产品思维重读这两篇竹简，揭示楚人如何以“第一性原理”“资源周期”“异常监控”“系统对齐”等理念，主动将人间秩序与宇宙节奏对接，构建一套跨越两千年的“宇宙KPI”。 The Tsinghua bamboo manuscripts Four Seasons and Eight Qi and Five Flavors are not merely ancient calendrical texts—they are the Chu kingdom’s “Universal Operating Manual.” Four Seasons builds a never-failing “time server” through 37 precisely defined nodes. Eight Qi and Five Flavors outlines the elemental logic of the cosmos, defining cycles of qi, functional attributes (flavors), operational rules for the Five Elements, and the Five Spirit Interfaces. This article reinterprets these manuscripts through modern product and systems thinking, revealing how the Chu people aligned human activities with cosmic rhythm through first principles, resource cycles, anomaly detection, and systemic coherence—forming a two-millennia-old model of “cosmic KPIs.”

本文透过上博简《郑子家丧》，分析楚庄王如何在一场邻国葬礼中，完成楚国霸权的“合法性再造”。文章聚焦四个关键步骤：议程设置、道义叙事、规则武器化与旧霸权压力测试，呈现春秋时代权力、秩序与正当性的深层结构。通过对简文的逐段解析，展示楚国如何从“南方蛮夷”转变为“礼法卫士”，并在两棠之战中通过公开挑战完成霸权的最终确认。This article examines how, according to the Shanghai Museum Chu bamboo slip Zheng Zi Jia Sang, King Zhuang of Chu leveraged a neighboring minister’s funeral to reconstruct the legitimacy of Chu’s emerging hegemony. Focusing on four strategic moves—agenda setting, moral reframing, the weaponization of ritual norms, and a final stress test against the old hegemon Jin—the essay reveals the underlying logic of power, order, and legitimacy in the Spring and Autumn era. Through close reading of the text, it demonstrates how Chu transformed itself from a southern outsider into a guardian of ritual order, ultimately confirming its hegemonic status after the battle at Liangtang.
