《鄂君启金节》是一枚沉睡两千三百年的青铜符节，却完整刻下了战国时期楚国最先进的经济制度：路线即版图、配额即权力、凭证即通行。它既是免税通行证，也是国家级物流网络的规划图、战略物资禁运制度的执行文本，以及中央财政直管体系的关键凭证。本文以三章方式重构这套“楚式治理学”：青铜上的交通系统、制度边界的精算逻辑，以及从人治迈向制度化的通关革命。两千多年后，我们依然能在现代自由贸易、负面清单与信用体系中，看见这枚符节的制度原型。The E-Jun Qi Bronze Tallies are not ceremonial relics—they encode one of the most sophisticated economic systems of the Warring States period. These bronze documents granted tax-free passage, defined national logistics routes, enforced strategic embargoes, and centralized fiscal power under the Chu state. Organized in three chapters, this article reconstructs Chu’s governance logic: the logistics map engraved in bronze, the calculated boundaries of institutional control, and the shift from personal authority to credential-based customs. More than two millennia later, modern free-trade zones, negative-list regulation, and credit-based clearance still echo the system first embedded in these tallies.
《长台关楚简》围绕1957年河南信阳长台关一号楚墓出土的约一百多枚残简展开。这批竹简残缺破碎，却在儒家语汇、墨家理念与现实政治之间不断切换，呈现战国思想远比后世分类更复杂的真实面貌。简文既有“君子之道”的礼制语言，也出现“尚贤”“兼爱”的墨家核心概念，同时反复讨论阶层、刑罚、名分与教育，显示儒墨并非对立，而是在乱世之中彼此渗透、互相借用，形成介于秩序与平等之间的思想灰区。长台关竹简留下的不是某一学派的教条，而是一位身处动荡时代的实践者试图寻找第三条路的思考模型。本文透过残简的缀合，重建思想在现实中混血生长的过程，并指出：两千四百年前的提问今天仍在回响——“天下将如何安顿？” This essay examines over a hundred fragmented bamboo slips excavated in 1957 from the Chantai Pass Chu tomb in Henan. Despite their damaged state, the slips reveal a dynamic intellectual landscape where Ruist vocabulary, Mohist ideals, and pragmatic political reasoning interweave. Phrases invoking “the Way of the gentleman” appear alongside core Mohist notions such as “elevating the worthy” and “universal kinship,” embedded within discussions of hierarchy, punishment, education, and social order. The slips demonstrate that Ruism and Mohism were not opposing camps but overlapping responses to the pressures of a turbulent world, converging into a hybrid zone between ritual order and egalitarian aspiration. What survives is not doctrinal purity, but a method for navigating contradiction—a third path forged in the midst of disorder. By tracing meaning across the broken bamboo, the essay reconstructs a living, interwoven mode of reasoning, and revisits the enduring question first inscribed here: how can a fractured world be held together?
在湖南常德夕阳坡的静土里，棺旁只放着两根竹简，没有甲胄、没有玉器、没有漆器，只有两行刻得极薄的字，像是一座只挂两块匾额的私人宗祠。这并非遣策，而是墓主替自己写下的“个人精神匾额”：一行记录时代，一行记录自己。在短短五十四字中，他把个人命运与国家历史牢牢绑定，把一生的价值浓缩成唯一愿意带入永恒的证明。夕阳坡的无名楚人让我们看到，小人物也能用最轻的材质承载最重的意义——人之所以被记住，不在于拥有什么，而在于选择把什么刻进永恒。In the quiet earth of Xiyangpo in Changde, Hunan, only two bamboo slips lie beside the coffin—no armor, no jade, no lacquered treasures, just two thin lines of script like a private ancestral hall with only two plaques. These are not burial inventories but the tomb owner’s “personal spiritual plaques”: one line for the world, one line for himself. Within fifty-four characters he binds his life to a turning point in history, compressing the worth of a lifetime into the only proof he chooses to carry into eternity. This unnamed Chu man from Xiyangpo shows us that even ordinary people can let the light of meaning survive time—not through what they owned, but through what they carved into forever.
本文串联三种不同面向的楚国贵族生活：
曹家岗以极简的日常器物呈现生活的质地；
五里牌以礼器、宴饮组合与车马配置展现社交等级与家族责任；仰天湖则以丝绸衣物、香匣饰物与生活陈设勾勒楚式审美的深情。
这些竹简并非简单的随葬物记录，而是楚人关于“如何生活、如何与他人相处、如何呈现自己”的世界观档案。三份清单合在一起，构成一幅细腻完整的楚式生活地图。This article brings together three different dimensions of aristocratic life in the Chu state.
Caijiagang reveals the texture of everyday living through its minimalist daily utensils;
Wulipai reflects social hierarchy and familial responsibility through ritual vessels, banquet sets, and chariot-related items;
Yangtianhu presents the aesthetic depth of Chu culture through its silk garments, fragrance boxes, ornaments, and domestic furnishings.
These bamboo-slip inventories are not simple burial lists, but worldview documents that record how the people of Chu lived, interacted with others, and expressed themselves.
Together, the three inventories form a subtle and coherent map of Chu-style life.
清华简《子仪》记录了春秋时期最戏剧化的一场外交反转：秦穆公在战败后，以礼设局、以乐试心，将被长期囚禁的楚国重臣子仪押入主场；而子仪却在受限的条件中，以和歌重写对方的叙事，以寓言拆解秦国的逼问，完成一次“以不落子取胜”的战略示范。本文从“礼”“辞”“谋”三层结构解析这场会盟，不以战力，而以语法、节奏与判断力，呈现楚式外交的智性美学。The Tsinghua bamboo manuscript Ziyi preserves one of the most remarkable diplomatic reversals of the Spring and Autumn era. After his defeat, Duke Mu of Qin staged a full ceremonial display to test and win over Ziyi—an elite Chu noble who had long been held as a prisoner. Yet within this imposed framework, Ziyi reclaimed initiative through musical counter-speech and a triad of fables that dismantled Qin’s demands. This essay analyzes the episode through “ritual,” “speech,” and “strategy,” revealing how Chu diplomacy mastered the art of winning by not placing a single stone on the board.
《上博简〈桐颂〉〈兰赋〉｜楚辞美学的两极共生与双生火焰》本篇来自《上博简·第八册》的两篇核心文献《桐颂》《兰赋》，
一桐一兰，一刚一柔，一入世一出世，构成楚辞美学最深的“双生源代码”。《桐颂》写官道之桐，其“深立坚树”“刚其不贰”，象征秩序、责任与政治伦理；《兰赋》写幽麓之兰，其“摇落不失厥芳”“芳馨达闻”，守护清洁、独立与灵魂的本真。这对看似对立的意象，其实是楚文明深层结构的“双生火焰”：
桐为骨，兰为魂；桐建秩序，兰养灵气；
二者并行，方成楚辞那种在张力中升腾的极致之美。本文以节奏文明体解析两篇竹简的哲思脉络，并在尾之声引入楚人宇宙观：
当入世与出世、刚直与清香、骨与魂的五脉在死后归一，桐与兰的双焰终将合为璇玑之光。
Drawn from Shanghai Museum’s Bamboo Manuscripts (Volume 8),
this essay explores two essential texts—Tong Song (桐颂) and Lan Fu (兰赋).
One praises the paulownia on the official road; the other, the orchid in the secluded valley.
Together they form the dual aesthetic engine of early Chu literature.
Tong Song embodies political order, integrity, and responsibility.
Lan Fu preserves purity, independence, and inner authenticity.
What appear to be opposites are, in fact, “twin flames”:
the paulownia as structure, the orchid as spirit;
the former builds the world, the latter breathes meaning into it.
This essay interprets both texts through the lens of rhythm-civilization writing,
and concludes with a cosmological insight rooted in Chu thought:
when the fivefold dimensions of life—duty, purity, intention, heart, and soul—unify beyond death,
the twin flames merge into a single star at the axis of the heavens: the Xuanji.
《行称》为楚王规划政务节律，《病方》为楚王调护身体，这两卷清华简把“时间管理”与“宫廷养生”合成一套可操作的生活哲学。从“月六称”的行政节奏，到肩背痛与目疾的简朴医方，它们让我们看见楚王如何在严密制度与朴素疗法之间维持巅峰状态。本篇以温柔幽默的方式，重构楚文明的日常智慧：规律让政务不乱，养生让身体不倒。管理好一天，就是治理好天下。The Tsinghua bamboo manuscripts “Xingcheng” and “Bingfang” reveal an unexpected pairing: a royal scheduling system for state governance and a practical medical handbook for daily ailments. Together, they show how a Chu king maintained peak performance—through disciplined time management and simple, effective palace remedies. This article interprets these texts with a light, witty touch, presenting an early philosophy in which order is sustained by ritual rhythm and health is preserved through everyday care. To manage a single day well is, for the Chu king, to govern the kingdom well.
本篇以文学化人设“无忧公子”展开，将《凡物流形》中约五十余条问句重组为四十四问，涵盖存在、宇宙、生死与修身四重结构。透过楚国少年的连环追问，呈现这卷战国哲思如何以“问”代“论”，逼近世界本源，并揭示楚人“知其不知”的思想气质。This article reconstructs Fan Wu Liu Xing from the Shanghai Museum Chu bamboo manuscripts through forty-four selected questions posed by a fictional Chu child. Organized into four thematic layers—existence, cosmos, death, and self-cultivation—it reveals how early Chu thinkers used questions rather than assertions to probe the origins of the world and the nature of mind. At its core lies the Chu insight: true wisdom begins with recognizing one’s own not-knowing.
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. In this text, stars become bones, rivers flow as blood, and virtue acts as the organs that sustain order. Wu Ji reveals how the Chu imagined time as a living body—breathing, circulating, and forever returning to balance.
《容成氏》为《上博楚简》第二辑中的重要文献，以楚人书写的上古帝王谱系、九州地理与政治传承记载，重构了另一套文明起源叙事逻辑。本文结合简文逐章解析其时间顺序、空间结构、政治程序与生态观念，指出楚文明所体现出的“元宇宙系统”：从容成氏到天地人，皆为一套可运行、可持续的文明设定格式。“Rong Cheng Shi” is one of the most significant texts in the second volume of the Shanghai Museum’s Chu Bamboo Slips collection. Written in the Chu script, it records an alternative genealogy of ancient rulers, a reimagined geography of the Nine Provinces, and a non-hereditary model of political succession. This article offers a section-by-section analysis of the bamboo slips, exploring their temporal sequence, spatial logic, political procedures, and ecological philosophy. The result is a reconstruction of a complete civilizational framework—what we may call a Chu-style “metaverse system”—in which time, space, governance, and cosmology are all coherently encoded as a sustainable, executable format of civilization, from Rong Cheng Shi to Heaven, Earth, and Human.”
