《宫商角徵羽之外：楚国乐政体系如何用”声音”规划人间秩序｜清华简〈五音图〉〈乐风〉荆州简王家嘴798号〈乐〉》
本篇从清华简《五音图》《乐风》以及荆州简王家嘴 "乐"出发，重构先秦楚国被遗忘的“乐政体系”——一种以声音为核心的政治认知方式。文章指出，《五音图》呈现的是以五音相生为基础的宇宙几何学模型；《乐风》展示了将歌词声韵与身体动作编程化的操作系统；王家嘴楚简“乐”则是首次见到的题名“乐经”的原典，其符号体系显示音乐演奏已被彻底法典化与程序化。楚国乐政体系并非艺术，而是一套用于治理、训练身体、调和人心、维持秩序的文明算法。通过重读这些竹简，我们重新看见古代中国如何以“声音”构建世界，也反思现代社会仍然在使用声音与算法塑造集体意识的方式。 This article reconstructs the forgotten “acoustic governance system” of the Chu state, based on the Tsinghua bamboo manuscripts Five-Tone Diagram and Music Winds, as well as the newly discovered “Music Canon” (樂經) from the Wangjiazui Chu tomb. The Five-Tone Diagram presents a geometric cosmology built upon the generative relations of the five tones; Music Winds encodes lyrics, vocal elements, and bodily gestures into a programmable system; and the Wangjiazui “Music Canon”—the first extant manuscript self-titled as Yuejing—reveals a fully codified and algorithmic framework for musical performance. Rather than “art,” Chu music functioned as a political technology: a method for regulating the body, harmonizing emotions, and maintaining social order. Re-reading these manuscripts reveals how ancient China constructed the world through sound—and how modern societies continue to use sound and algorithmic design to shape collective behavior.
