“沉睡数千年,一醒惊天下”,走进三星堆,一步数千年!大家好,我是三星堆博物馆党组书记朱家可。泱泱中华,万古江河。三星堆,是这片土地上的一粒明珠,是北纬30度线上的东方传奇,是一段中国文明起源发展中的雄浑乐章。接下来,就让我带领大家走进三星堆的世界,走进青铜铸就的人间神国。
 
      纵目千里
      ——三星堆纵目面具
      冠九州之绝艺的青铜纵目面具,宽138厘米、高66厘米,大嘴阔耳,眉尖上挑,双眼斜长,面露微笑,眼睛呈柱状,外凸达16厘米长。有着 “千里眼、顺风耳”的美誉,超现实的造型使得它威凌八方,神秘莫测,是三星堆目前出土的所有青铜面具中造型最奇特、最宏伟壮观的一件。
      据《华阳国志》记载,蜀人的始祖“蚕丛”“其目纵”,很可能描述的就是这种眼睛外凸的形象,中国上古神话中也有天神烛龙“直目正乘”的记载。因此,我们认为这件面具是被夸张和神化了的古蜀人的祖先神形象,是一种人神同形、人神合一的意象造型。
      三千年前,古蜀先民以“纵目”探索未知,也给今天的我们留下了“博学广闻、通贤达智”、“见微知著、明察善断”的深刻启示。
 
      登天之梯
      ——三星堆神树
      在三星堆出土的文物当中,形体最庞大、结构最严谨、造型最繁杂,寓意最深刻的莫过于青铜神树。它是代表三星堆青铜文明最高艺术和技术成就的古蜀瑰宝,也是彰显古人智慧与追求的精神象征。
      三星堆一号青铜神树高达3.96米,树座呈穹窿形,挺拔的主干上长有三层树枝,枝头站立凤鸟,威风凛凛的神龙援树而下,犹如从天而降。
      中国古典神话中曾有日出之树“扶桑”,日落之树“若木”,登天之梯“建木”等的记载。三星堆众多青铜神树是古蜀先民太阳崇拜、通天通神等朴素宇宙观的生动体现,寄托了古蜀先民对未来、对生活的美好憧憬与向往,彰显了他们博大的宇宙情怀和深沉的精神世界。
 
      刚毅守正
      ——青铜大立人
      青铜大立人是三星堆青铜人物雕像中的“王者之尊”,也是世界古代青铜雕塑艺术中的“东方巨人”。它通高2.62米,重约180公斤,脚踏神坛,气度不凡。
      这尊“纪念碑”式的立人雕像以其庞大的体量、精美的服饰、恢弘的气势和神秘的动作,在三星堆青铜人物雕像群中傲然独立,是三星堆古蜀国最高首领的象征,也成为“恪守正道”、“不怒而威”、“清正廉明”的精神象征。
      ---2020年9月,三星堆遗址的考古发掘时隔34年后再次重启,新发现了六座“祭祀坑”,黄金大面具、鸟形金饰、青铜顶尊人像等上千件精美绝伦的文物陆续出土,让三星堆再醒惊天下! 
      千载蜀魂,精气长存,三星永耀,光焰万丈!欢迎大家走进三星堆,读懂源远流长、多元一体的中华文明,让我们穿越时空与古蜀先民对话,侧耳聆听,北纬30度上的又一个文明强音,共同领略绚烂多姿、多彩交融的人类文明!
