论中国古人的宇宙空间意识与“元宇宙”

On the Space Consciousness and“Metaverse”of Ancient Chinese People

中国古人对宇宙空间的认识深深根植于我们的文化、哲学和宗教信仰之中,从盘古开天辟地的神话传说到战国星象家的天体观念,再到《易经》中周而复始的宇宙循环理论,无不反映出古人对宇宙空间独特而深刻的见解。同时,随着现代科技的飞速发展,我们进入了一个全新的虚拟世界——“元宇宙”。本文旨在通过“先天五太”、中国古人诗画中的“虚实”等空间观念分析中国古人的宇宙空间意识与现代“元宇宙”概念之间的内在联系与异同,以期为我们更深入地理解这两个概念提供新的视角。

The understanding of the universe by ancient Chinese people is deeply rooted in our culture,philosophy,and religious beliefs.From the mythological legend of Pangu who created the heavens and earth,to the celestial concept of the astrologers of the Warring States period,and to the cyclical theory of the universe cycle in the Book of Changes,all reflect the unique and profound insights of ancient people on the universe.Meanwhile,with the rapid development of modern technology,we have entered a brand new virtual world—the“metaverse”.This article aims to analyze the internal connection and similarities and differences between the space consciousness of ancient Chinese people and the modern concept of the“metaverse”through spatial concepts such as“innate five realms”and“virtual and real”in Chinese poetry and painting,in order to provide us with a new perspective for a deeper understanding of these two concepts.
