视频：古蜀文明密码下集：天阙之门

（中英双语字幕）

霸屏数日的三星堆还在持续“上新”，

一件件神秘文物再次引发全民热议：

This Sanxingdui that has flooded the screens for days is still under its “refresh” mode, with each and every one of its mysterious artifacts sparkling hot debates among the public once again:

三星堆文明和宇宙文明，究竟有什么关系？

“不走寻常路”的文物，代表怎样的高度？

这繁盛一时的文明，为何又突然消失？

How exactly does the civilization of Sanxingdui relate to the civilization of the universe?

What is the depth of these artifacts that “does not follow the common path”?

Why did this civilization that was once so prosperous vanish?

在扬雄的《蜀王本纪》里，

记载了几千年前，古蜀君王打开天门，

带领百姓飞升天阙的恢弘历史。

It was documented in Yang Xiong’s Records on Kings of Shu that millenniums ago, the Kings of Ancient Shu unbolted the heavenly gates, leading the common folks to ascend to heaven.

几千年后，三星堆古遗址重现世间，

带着那段文明的浩大图景，

以及纵贯时空的天阙之钥——

Millenniums after, the relics of Sanxingdui resurface, together with the vast scenes from those days of civilization, and the key of the heavenly palaces that has transited through time & space:

一个“蜀”字，

上面的“目”代表打开了智慧的眼睛，

下面的“虫”代表蠢蠢欲动的动物本能。

同样，三星堆的人首鸟身像，

用人的头、鸟的身，

来比喻人既有低等动物的属性，

也有高等动物的追求。

This word “mu (meaning eyes)”, is written on top of the word “Shu”, representing the enlightened eyes. The word “cong (meaning worm)” written at the bottom, is representative of the animal instinct that is ready to spring into action anytime. 

At the same time, Sanxingdui’s statues of avian body with human head hold a metaphorical meaning - man possesses the characteristic of inferior animals, alongside with the pursuits of advanced animals.

用智慧驾驭本能，以人性战胜兽性，

这就是“知止”。

Steering ability through wisdom, conquering barbarity with humanity – this is “summum bonum”.

青铜纵目面具，纵目，

是指眼睛要突破自身的狭隘，

将感观从牢笼里超越出来。

超越的完成，要有“静如处子”的过程，

宁静才能致远。

The bulging eyes of the bronze mask mean that the eyes should break through the restrictions of oneself, allowing one’s senses to transcend beyond its cage. 

The completion of this transcendent has a process that requires one to be “as quiet as the unmarried lady”. Tranquility takes one far.

“定而后能静，静而后能安。”

两眼直视虚空，不落一物，

五官都处在安定的状态。

这个面具表现的，

正是安定后、宁静致远的境界。

“Tranquility is preceded by calmness; peace is preceded by tranquility.” The two eyes staring into space, not setting sight on anything, the five senses abide in a state of peacefulness. The mask expresses the peaceful realm that comes after calmness.  

这根古蜀君王的金杖上，

雕刻着一支羽剑，

射穿了鸟的颈部和鱼的头部。

Carved upon the golden rod of the King of Ancient Shu is the sculpture of a feather sword that pierces through the neck of a bird and the head of a fish.

鱼行走于水中，鸟翱翔于空中。

从水域到天空，乃至山川大地，

这些空间，有一支箭都可以穿越。

Fish swims in the water and birds fly in the air. From the terrain of water to that of the sky, and even the high mountains and vast lands of this earth, there is an arrow that can transcend through the space.

这个箭，就是对生命特质的觉醒，

一种高智慧的生命的觉悟。

This arrow is the awakening towards the trait of life, a life enlightenment that sprouts from supreme wisdom.

或许，当打开内心的智慧之门，

外在的天阙之门，就会湛然显现。

Perhaps, the extrinsic heavenly gate will naturally manifest when our intrinsic door of wisdom is unbolted.

天阙之门，文明之光！

The doorway to the heavenly palaces, the light of civilization!
