《沉睡与惊醒之间 | 湖北荆州博物馆》
在荆州博物馆,我记住了几件召唤我的器物:玉佩的排列、玉覆面的注视、竹简的沉默,还有羽人的伫立。那些未能说出的“楚”,我用一个字写在车站的柱子上,为它们作证。那不是一次观展,而是一场封坛。楚简不在展柜里,而在我手心仍然温热的气息中。At the Jingzhou Museum, I remembered the objects that seemed to call to me — the arrangement of jade pendants, the silent gaze of the jade funerary mask, the stillness of bamboo slips, and the figure of the feathered man. For all that the word “Chu” could not yet say, I wrote a single character on a station pillar as testimony. It was not a visit to an exhibition, but the sealing of an altar. The Chu slips were not inside the display case; they were in the living breath resting in my palm.
