内容简介

Human-headed Pot: Gazing at Old Times Coming from the earth, you raise your head slightly to the sky. Over 6,000 years have passed; we’ve been searching for food, surviving, procreating and evolving. Now we are gazing at you, pondering the meaning of all this. The human-headed pot was made of red pottery by the ancestors of the Yangshao Culture from 6,000 to 6,500 years ago. At that time, people polished the stone tools, and were beginning to raise livestock and reclaim wasteland, gradually forming into tribes. This marked the beginning of the Neolithic Age of the history of mankind. In the history of mankind, pottery was the first experiment which had been created from scratch. With man’s two hands, soil, water and fire interacted to produce physical and chemical reactions as well as a transformation of substances. Through the practicing of clay, people realized their remarkable ability of recreation. Being born in the brightness of the sun and dying in the darkness of the night, mankind has time after time given rise to a long list of questions which finally dissolved the time and again back into the depths of the earth. Originating in its reflections on life and death, mankind began to take a look at itself. Most of the ancient civilizations across the globe awakened from the birth of portrait art. This pottery pot belonging to Yangshao Culture is just one of the hundreds of millions of dazed faces which have been left in the earth. It is difficult to distinguish the sex of the portrait on the pot. The lips are slightly curled, with the pure and sincere look of a child. The body of the pot serves as the body of a human. The large rotund belly seems to represent the full figure and fertility of a female. On the back of the pot, a spout with an oblate section extends out for use in injecting water into the pot, while the eyes and mouth form the outlets for the water. The narrowness of the outlets diminishes the pot’s utility, suggesting that it may have had some other functions. The water discharged from the eyes of the human-headed pot is just like the tear, signifying the initial pain of human birth. The clay figures molded by the ancients with reference to their own image have had a longer life than their creators, a life as old as mother earth herself, and their faces remain in clear focus to this very day. Gazing at the old times, we feel another heart spanning time and space, gathering the power of life. More than six millennia have passed in a flash, with tribes developing into states, symbols into poems and calls into songs. \"媒体评论 跨越时空的对话 《如果国宝会说话》是一档很受欢迎的文博类纪录片。如今，以此为基础的同名图书也即将由五洲传播出版社精心制作推出。让优秀传统文化与当代文化相适应、与现代社会相协调。我觉得这是一件很有意义的事，愿意在此多说几句。 文化是一个民族的灵魂。中华民族有着强大的文化创造力，中华文明延续几千年的历史和文明，就生动地体现在这些饱经沧桑的国宝文物之中。它们是我们宝贵的遗产，历久而弥新，帮助我们认识过去、现在和未来，帮助我们坚守中华文化立场、传承中华文化基因，展现中华审美风范，培育起我们共同的情感和价值、共同的理想和精神。 习近平总书记指出，要“让收藏在禁宫里的文物、陈列在广阔大地上的遗产、书写在古籍里的文字都活起来”，“把跨越时空、超越国度、富有永恒魅力、具有当代价值的文化精神弘扬起来，把继承传统优秀文化又弘扬时代精神、立足本国又面向世界的当代中国文化创新成果传播出去”。怎样让我们传统文化中的宝藏及蕴藏其中的文化精神“活起来”“弘扬起来”“传播出去”？《如果国宝会说话》作出了有益的探索。 《如果国宝会说话》共精选100件国宝文物，每一件都有故事，每一件都是传奇。这本书用文物讲文物，用文物梳理文明，通过国宝文物曲折的经历、跌宕起伏的故事、丰富的图片、有趣的知识讲解，讲述了中华文化独特的创造力、发展脉络和价值理念，非常有意义，也非常有意思。 现在，国际社会对中国的关注度越来越高，他们想了解中国，想知道中国人的观念、看法、情感和审美趣味，想知道中国的历史传承、风俗习惯、民族特性等等。我相信，我们的文物、我们这本图文并茂的图书，正好能给外国朋友了解中国提供一个独特的文化、文博视角。当他们在博物馆里看到同样的国宝文物，可能就会在审美过程中感受到中华文化的独特魅力，加深对中华文化的认识和理解。如果这样，善莫大焉。 是为序。 单霁翔 故宫博物院原院长 每件文物都有着延续至今的生命，呈现给我们不同的面孔，而每幅面孔的背后，都有着或温情，或悲怆的故事，当驻足在国宝面前时，总有一副面孔会与我们注视的目光相遇，也总有一段故事会与我们倾听的内心相遇。丛书中，我们既能感受到纪录片视觉图像的角度和魅力，也能体会到流动的文字带给我们的沉浸和享受，更能在延伸的阅读链接里寻找到更多的未知。让我们捧起这套丛书，一起：听国宝说话！ ——青少年博物馆教育推广人 朋朋哥哥 短和接地气儿是喜欢的亮点，非常适合碎片时间观看，文案和BGM卖萌，但煽情起来也不手软，科普做的生动好玩，而且很多时候都不再局限于民族和我国。尤其是镜头下那些精美小巧的国宝，对去博物馆隔着玻璃只能看个轮廓的爱好者来说是福利。 ——某J。624 这才是我们自己的节目，村落成了国，符号成了诗，呼唤成了歌，沧海桑田，恰如你容颜。央视，多多做这样的节目吧！ ——笑书神侠倚碧鸳 《如果国宝会说话》没有喧哗的明星，没有过多的娱乐演绎，静静地面对每一个国宝。国宝们去掉了人为设定的包装，他们回归本体，为自己代言，和你丝丝入扣地交流，言语间处处干活。《如果国宝会说话》画面精美到让人感动，文案举重若轻优美洒脱，尤其是配音，耳目一新，良心之作，值得我花每一个5分钟。为国产纪录片打CALL。 ——湖南路小生\"
